Lob an M67 out of the door. Nobody looks tough after that.

That British .45 silenced bolt action.

A .22 and a .45 pistol silenced because they're subsonic calibers.

I am guessing you mean this thing, which is pretty badass.

Are old barrel fragments only good for a warlord necklace?

So the ammo situation with 5.45x39 seems to look pretty grim right now as far as brass cartridges go.

It seems commercially made 5.45 is made only in steel casing right now and the market doesn't seem to be wanting for brass (or so I've read).

And because scumbag ATF banned imports of 5.45 7n6, I guess the only way to some is to buy it from already existing stocks from before the ban, which really sucks as that's a very small market.

So I guess I don't really know all the details, but what is the distinction between 7n6 Russian surplus as opposed to others(?) I guess.

I'd love to get my hands on the brass because I actually enjoy reloading my rounds.

>>30490586

Alot of people emailed and bugged a few brass manufacturers (also overseas so if imports shut off no more brass either) privi partizan replied and straight up said demand is no where close to enough, i forget the name of the other manufacturer but I know they only produced brass cases not loaded ammo.

Rule of cool!!

>“T-34s are exactly the right tanks for us,” I replied. “They are crude, simple, and reliable. They always start and they always run. If they do break, any machine shop can fix ’em. We don’t want tanks to fight other tanks. That’s what anti-tank weapons are for. The best way to stop an M-1 is with a mine that blows a tread off. We want tanks for real armored warfare, which means to get deep in the enemy’s rear and overrun his soft stuff, his artillery and logistics trains and headquarters, so his whole force panics and comes apart.”

Courage comes from the nose, not the heart, as the African spiritual healers you call witch doctors have long understood. That’s why black people eat their snot. What do you white folk do with your snot? You wrap it up in a little white surrender flag and put it in your pocket. So you don’t have no courage.”

>When I stuck my head into Ross’s CP, which was a single command version of the LAV, I was almost impaled by a German spiked helmet coming out. Below the helmet was a vast, rotund figure that could only be Bill Kraft [Fedora Man], clad in the dark blue uniform of a 19th century Prussian officer. Down the trouser legs ran the wine-red stripe of an officer of the Prussian General Staff. I must have done a double-take, because Kraft looked at me and said, “Don’t you remember why I turned down your kind offer to join the Christian Marine Corps?”

I have a small group of friends, all of which are gun owners and have a small food/water stockpile. I own a small cabin and some land and we will head there. We will all die before we get there because we live in a city. If not we will die when we run out of food because I'm the only one who knows how to farm and by farm I mean I know how to grow a dozen plants at a time without any dying.

I will dig in at my self sustained bug in shelter. I will watch through my cctv cameras at you guys kill eachother

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
Happy Canada Day! I must confess I was mulling the idea of Independence Day, but since the actual date of Canada Day was closer, and I was pretty interested in the LAV, I chose Canada.
The protection of the LAV III amounts to a Level III equivalency along STANAG 4569 guidelines, with all round protection from 7.62x51 mm NATO rounds. The protection of the LAV III has been significantly improved over the years, with the early introduction of the ceramic Modular Expandable Armour System (MEXAS) officially bequeathing next level protection up to 14.5x114 mm rounds from 500 m. Furthermore, in 2008, the Canadians undertook a comprehensive series of programmes aimed at packages for protection against 30 mm AP, EFPs and particularly IEDs emerging, with the IED upgrades becoming a staple of continued operations in Afghanistan. These upgrades cumulatively were $68 million with the IED package alone being an additional $13.5 million. Nevertheless, for a military that had sustained the vast majority of its casualties in actions involving the LAV III, these upgrades were a necessary investment. In 2011, with IEDs still being a pressing threat, General Dynamics was awarded a contract to upgrade 550 LAV IIIs with further mine protection along with an extension of the vehicle’s lifespan to 2035. The LAV III has performed admirably in most respects in Canadian service, with issues such as feared rollovers being negligible – only sixteen, operating in very rough terrain were ever reported – and the lack of protection in Afghanistan being addressed with ad hoc solutions or later modular addons, and tools such as the Nanuk RWS. However, unlike the Leopard 2A6M’s outstanding protection in Afghanistan, the LAV III is still a much lighter vehicle, with the limitations that entails against the pernicious threat of IEDs and explosive weaponry.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.

Following on from news of the USMC’s trialing of Israeli Trophy APS, the US Army is now looking to foreign systems for solutions to emerging missile threats to AFVs. Four separate systems, two of which are Israeli in origin and one domestic will be trialed on the Stryker, Abrams and Bradley, projected to be deployed on European units once integration is complete. This is expected to be an interim solutions, as MAPS (Modular Active Protection System) the Army’s own effort is still in development.
South Korea’s DAPA is now examining methods of improving the efficiency of its 155 mm howitzers. At the Defence IQ Future Artillery conference in London, Lt Col Chung Win Jee spoke of the potential in automation of artillery systems to prevent manpower losses in any North Korean counterbattery or preliminary targeting effort, and reducing the garrison requirements on the border.
NORINCO is now exporting a new 120 mm mortar WMZ-551. The system is not an exceptional deviation from existing designs, but does offer full amphibious capabilities, and a recoil system mitigating the need for stabilisers.
The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has received its final prototype of the 29 tonne next generation AFV to replace the state’s M113A2 Ultra APC fleet. The currently unnamed vehicle is currently under development by the Defence Science and Technology Agency in partnership with Singapore Technologies, the project dating back to 2006, and it is expected that it will be complete by 2019.
The UK Ajax has now completed its first air portability trials at the Joint Air Delivery Test and Evaluation Unit at RAF Brize Norton. The Ares platform was driven onto a real size mockup of the standard air transporters in British service, and tie down drills were practised onboard.

And that’s all for now.
