Allen head is a cancer on the gun world. Why can't everything be flathead or at least be torx so we have a few standard sizes we need to work with?

The problem is using screws that aren't hardened.

If the Nazis had just one of these, and the logistics to keep it operational for 6 months, could Hitler have won World War 2?

So I just had an idea.
The steel penetrator in m855 Isn't hardened but could you harden it?
Say you heated up the bullet to a thousand degrees Fahrenheit and then did an oil Quench.
You would do this with the bullet facing down since I assume the bottom is exposed lead and you wouldn't want that to run out the bottom.
Would this work in hardening the steel penetrator or the lead? Or is direct exposure needed as in no jacket?
Also another thing.
Where can you get bullet jackets? Just bullet jackets.
Could you take normal fmj projectiles and heat them up to 700 degrees and Melt all the lead out from the bottom?

The lead would boil out
The jacket would deform
Steel probably wouldnt harden correctly
>no, but go ahead and try it, post results
>>
>>34805652
No for >>34805666 reasons and there isn't enough carbon in the steel to harden.
>>
You would melt the lead, and upon contact with water, the molten lead would pop, or explode in a sense. Molten lead and water don't mix well.
Is China's new destroyer any good?
Could it beat an Arleigh Burke class?

On paper it has the most advanced phased array radar, lowest RCS conventional hull and most adaptable VLS cells ever fielded on a surface combatant.
Time will tell how it performs in real life however.

Yes.
It's AShM load out alone would suffice to take on a small fleet.

So a pawn store next to my house is selling used a used M92 and a used M92FS for $300 each. I'm planning on buying one tomorrow. Should I bother trying to haggle since this feels like a pretty good price? Also general gun thread.

Get the fs. I wouldn't even bother haggling. If the store is right next to your house and you need your $15 that bad then you can use your new gun to rob them later.

>the U.S. Army is considering adopting a new “Interim Combat Service Rifle” in the 7.62x51mm caliber. The service is particularly concerned about soldiers' ability to penetrate advanced body armors with their existing 5.56x45mm M4 carbines.

Is there any non-tungsten ammunition that reliably defeats level 4 plate? I don't think so, at least not anything that would be typically carried by an individual soldier.

Reminder all California residents must register their bullet button assault weapons before July 2018. Compliance is mandatory, and you only have 325 days left before the deadline.
You can submit details about your weapons here, for a small fee of $15.
>https://cfars.doj.ca.gov/login!displayLogin.do
Remember to include several clear photographs of the assault weapon, especially of the bullet button magazine locking device.
Again compliance is mandatory, and violators will be caught.

Don't worry, he will learn to comply.
An additional reminder, that all ghost guns and home built assault weapons must be serialized, in addition to the registration process.

Do you think the Philippine Arm and other armed forces of the Philippines are capable of dealing with the Islamic insurgency going on in Marawi? Is the air support we're giving them going to be enough? Or would a ground-force presence of American troops be required?

Pic related is around $55 bucks as opposed to a name brand that's around$250.
Is there really a difference in build quality or something that justifies that price?

Very good quality. I'd stay away from the ones with the trigger guard milled, have one and don't like it. Overall for the price, this is an excellent buy

>>34799210
No Anderson lowers are the same as any other lower. All lowers come from like the same 6 factories. Anyone who tells you a "name brand" lower is better is a shill
>>
>>34799210
CMMG, Spikes, Stag lower that don't have fucky out of spec holes for the pistol grip are NOT $250. Fuck Anderson
