>Honestly if I could only carry 10rd mags I wouldn't use 9mm at all. I'd only carry 10mm and .45 in my funs of choice.

why?

I'd still use 9mm because all the other benefits of 9mm would still exist.

>>30371132

Where at in Bama, bro?

>>30371132
no because my carry gun is a 7+1 (9 round extended in the mail) in 9mm.

And i dont give a fuck of the magazine size of my range toys.

Cargo planes are wildly overrated, I don't really see the point, they should work on making high speed naval transports not dumping billions on cargo planes.

We'll kick this off with the Ajax.

A family of medium weight vehicles being acquired for the British Army, Ajax ranges from 36-42 tons, depending on variant.

The one pictured here is titled the same as the family, "Ajax". A force recce vehicle, it's armed with a CT40 cannon (Case Telescopic 40mm) and a Protector RWS up top. (More on them later, if you're wondering about ATGMs). It's also got an 805hp engine, so it is pretty nippy.

Heavily protected for a vehicle that isn't an MBT, it's designed for heavier battlefields than legacy designs, and for engaging the growing protectiveness and size of opposing AFVs. But its primary capability is its ISTAR and Networking.

Equipped with infrared, long range sensor suites, acoustic detectors, CBRN detectors, external cameras and a whole range of reconnaisance packages, it can stream all that information through a 20GB/s open network infrastrucutre to any other "open" equipped squad, vehicle or aerial asset. Because of this, it can sent images, video, sound or include information on the maps and command systems of allied units at extremely long ranges, controlling what everyone is seeing and link to GEOPINT assets.

If that sounds like a load of jargon, see it as effectively an AWACS on the ground. This information can also be used to direct air strikes and artillery.

There are 589 vehicles in the Ajax family on order, to enter service in 2017. More on the variants in a moment.

The full family of Ajax vehicles is broken down as such:

>245 turreted 'Ajax' variants
198 Reconnaissance and Strike (Ajax)
23 Joint Fire Control (Ajax)
24 Ground Based Surveillance (Ajax)

>256 Protected Mobility Recce Support (PMRS) variants
59 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) (Ares)
112 Command and Control(Athena)
34 Formation Reconnaissance Overwatch (Ares)
51 Engineer Reconnaissance (Argus)

>88 Engineering variants based on the PMRS
38 Recovery vehicles (Atlas)
50 Repair vehicles (Apollo)

The vehicle in the picture here is the "Ares" variant, an armoured personnel carrier that can load between 3-8 men, depending on the modular compartment's contents. Built to carry UGVs or carry heavy specialist weaponry (Javelin teams, Starstreak Batteries) the amount carried can heavily vary, but it forms a much more heavily armoured vehicle to carry recce infantry in. There are 256 APC variants in total, with 245 turreted combat vehicles, and 88 engineering vehicles.

The engineering vehicles show the grunt of the engine very well, in Austrian trials (Given the ASCOD chassis) one pulled an SK-105, an ASCOD IFV and a truck loaded with numerous tons of steel for 200km all at once. The British Army loves their engineering, so no wonder.

In many ways, the Ajax family with the open network infrastructure and ISTAR kit either on or in the vehicle is much like how F-35's are intended to network around the battlefield. Known elements to be linked to this system are Ajax, Foxhound, Challenger 2, Watchkeeper, Exactor, F-35 and certain infantry teams. This will only be expanded to each new fleet as they turn up. It's quite similar to the French Scorpion program, just with a satellite network overhead from Skynet.

Hot on the heels of the Ajax in 2017, the new Warrior IFV upgrade program is due to begin deliveries in 2018.

The list of upgrades are quire numerous, but mostly centred on an entirely new and much larger turret mounting a fully stabalised CT40 cannon, the same as Ajax. Both vehicles will have APFSDS and Programmable Rounds for airbursting, structure penetration, standard HE and anti-air. In both Ajax and Warrior, all cannon rounds are kept completely externally from the crew.

In addition to the turret, the Warrior will receive armour module upgrades, a new spall liner, new blast resistant seats and flooring, connection to the Open Network Infrastructure (forgot to include it above) and new sights and cameras for the troops and crew inside.

At the moment the exact numbers have condradicting sources, mostly because of the next entry.

Picked up this NPAP for $670 shipped from buds before the price gouge after the fag population trim. First rifle I actually can call my own however I'm no stranger to firearms. Taking it out to the ranch this Friday and will probably put a hundred or two rounds through it.

Overall, the build quality seems great.fit and finish are perfect. Underfolding stock is very stiff but it's working it and getting looser little by little.

Take a picture from the side.

What you did was take a picture that make you weapon look cool but it doesn't allow us to clearly see the whole.

Lighting is shit. Those side pictures was the best I could get but here ya go. Ruler for reference

I zero at 100y or 50y. I like the 100y because you don't ever have hold unders just hold overs.

>CZfag perpetuates the behavior that confirms the status of being said variant of fag by not checking sights before purchase.

>>30370141
Checked and didn't notice them that far off in the store. Calm down, anon

Call em and ask.

In Fresno, California, a police department commissioned the purchase of Dragon Skin for its officers after a vest stopped all the bullets fired during a test, including .308 rounds from a rifle and 30 rounds from a 9mm MP5 fired from five feet away. The armor also stopped 40 rounds of PS-M1943 mild steel-core bullets from an AK-47 along with 200 9 mm full metal jacket bullet fired from a submachine gun.[9]

So my question is, why did this shit fail to begin with? It's literally just plates oriented in scales.

Yes, because fuck carrying that thing around and having to dig a mortar-pit for it.

No, because contrarian.

Is there any good reason NOT to own one?

for your saddlebag

If you don't ride around no horseback, pretty useless

>>30369460
It'll still fire bullets even when you're not on horseback.

>>30369351
Wd40 and sandpaper or steel wool

>>30369351
oil and steel wool, it may be too late for that knife though

Would kroil (penetrating oil) work?

According to /akg/, any and all ak47s need to be stayed away from.

All of them.

Which is strange, considering it's supposed to be a "sturdy platform with loose tolerances where you can't go wrong"

>>30369089

Anything american made is utter trash. Look for euro imports or AK's made from part kits. DDI is the flavor of the month right now. Wasr's are good too. Just inspect for canted sites and mag wobble for buying though.

>>30369116
IO owner detected.

>>30368829
The steel it's made of is very soft. You can sharpen it just like you would any other knife but it won't hold an edge for shit

Its meant to stab, thats why its dull.

Just like how the car industry was destroyed by car insurance.

Lol no it wouldn't. The insurance companies would probably do their due diligence in researching gun related crime/deaths. That means that expensive handguns, rifles, and the ar15 would probably be the cheapest and least restrictive to insure considering the ar15 is used very rarely in gun crime.

Hi-points and El cheapies would probably be more the insure.

>way less people killed by guns than cars
>vast majority would still be unemployed niggers with no insurance

That's just wrong, but as per usual democrats want to force white people to pay for their black pets.
