Had the IJN and USN battleships fought head to head in the Pacific Theatre, no carriers involved, who would've came out on top? Japan didn't have nearly the amount of resources but their battleships/cruisers seemed to out class the United States at the time.
I suppose the obvious question becomes, which ships?
But either way, the USN had vastly superior FCS, ranging and shot correction as they used radar. Comparing armor and shot, the USN also had an advantage due to a robust metallurgy industry which allowed them to manufacture better steel as well as having better quality iron to work with. As much as I like a lot of IJN vessels, they were just clearly outclassed in terms of quality at the start of the war and the gap only widened as time went on.

Even the weeaboo admin of this IJN info site admits that Yamato would get her shit pushed in by superior USN Fire Control Radar and damage control tactics.
Japan was using manual gun laying and rangefinding for far too long, and it took its toll.

>make vendors have to report lost or stolen ammo
thats kind of fucked up. I sell bags of ammo at my range, every once in a while we come up short a bag, most likely because we just forgot to charge someone. With this retarded law we would have to report every little loss that is only pertinent to the business itself.
>>29825095
Newsom's Proposal would:
--Ban possession of and confiscate hundreds of thousands of lawfully possessed magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds;
---Require licensing of all ammunition vendors and drastically limit the places where ammunition could be sold;
--Require ammunition buyers to undergo a background check before they could purchase any ammunition;
--Turn law-abiding citizens into criminals should they fail to report lost or stolen firearms to police within a limited amount of time after they “should have known” a firearm was missing.

Ten day waiting period to buy ammo too?
God fucking dammit I want to ring this bitch's skinny neck
So I've recently purchased a shill RAS-47 back in February and needless to say I'm having buyers remorse after Robski of AKOU confirmed they can be grenades after so little rounds.
I was thinking about getting another AK for my birthday and i just don't wanna get fucked again. Come to think of it i think most AK's come from Century these days.
I'm gonna sound like a fucking moron but hear me out, i was thinking about getting a Yugoslavian M70AB2, but guess what?
>Century
I'm too much of a poorfag to go the Arsenal route, and even Arsenals can have issues. Lemme know /k/. Got any good recommendations for AK-47's under 1k?
Do you own Century AK's? My friend has Century AK's imported from Zastava and they don't seem to let him down.

Who /actually shooting/ here?

First time I've fired this gun and I hadn't quite convinced myself it wasn't going to blow up in my hand. 106 years young and still working, though. The sights are a joke, which was exacerbated by me being a novice shooter.
How about you, anon?

Why is it so hard to carrier-ize an aircraft?
In the Falklands the UK had to station vulcan bombers on ascension island, miles away from where the carrier was.
Couldn't they have just scooped out non-essential equipment and stuck some JATO bottles on it?
Also, the fleet air arm is completely plane-less. Why is it so hard to make a eurofighter carrier-capable?
>>29824346
are you serious ?
Are you fucking retarded?
Consider the differences between launching from a carrier to launching of a runway.
>>29824346
Do you have any idea how massive a Vulcan is?
Are... Are you soft in the head?
is this a good idea?
No.
The whole point of a handguns is that they are compact. If you can afford to carry something so big then just carry a rifle instead.
Now fuck off.
Fuck no.
How would you even load the magazine? Where is the magazine?
