Why the hell are A2 carry handle sights so expensive now?
What was $25 is now $110.
Fuck the problem is?

So, the Japanese have joined the likes of the US, China and Russia in having developed their very own home engineered stealth fighter!

Is Japan preparing to engage china in the south sea, or perhaps considering amending their constitution to grow their own expansionist military?

Time will tell, but for now, how about we discuss the technical details and practical applications of the new Japanese aircraft?

Hey /k/, made a thread last night about putting together a Semi-auto .308 deer/pig-slayer.

Settled on the M14 platform, specifically a Norinco M305 Carbine with an 18.5" barrel. Optics wise, I already have a low-power Bushnell Elite 3200 scope but I want to get a low-light/night-vision scope since most of my stalking/hunting is before dawn and after dusk.

All up;
- Norinco M305 18.5" Carbine .308 $699 NZD ($480 USD)
- Armasight Vampire 3X Night-Vision $1,299 NZD ($890 USD)
- Hushpower Silencer (M14/M1A .30CAL) $499 NZD ($342 USD)

Original budget was $3,500 USD for a genuine Springfield M1A Match with a ProMag Archangel stock, Leupold VR-X 2 low-power scope, AAC Cyclone suppressor etc. You guys chewed me out for spending so much for a deer/pig-slayer that's going to spend most of it's life on the front rack of a dirt-bike getting thrashed around.

Anyway, is this much more appropriate now?

Pic related, minus the scope.

So now that we know the F-35 was a meme all along, how would /k/ build its aircraft? Who would be the producer, what would be the parameters, and how would you sell its production to the tax payers?

EZ mode not allowed: you cannot buy existing aircraft.

Personally I'd upgrade the A-10 to be stealth, have the twin turbines replaced with high performance modern jets, mount a second GAU-8 and nose fins that can lethally drop 250lb bombs.

Your turn, extra points for providing pictures.

Hey /k/,

If someone made a new manufacture version of the Swiss K31 in .308/7.62 NATO, gave it a detachable box magazine, synthetic stock and a 1913 rail, <1 MOA out of the box, and sold it for ~$1300, would you want one?

Since there is a current lack of "are carriers obsolete" posts today I thought I'd try and open discussion on the worlds third largest carrier class, The Queen Elizabeth.

While we all know it's garbage as a Super Carrier without nuclear power and the lack of CATOBAR has meant she wont have any aircraft until the F-35B is ready.
Instead of calling her a Super Carrier she should have been classified as a Super Amphibious Assault ship, this is especially relevant given the British Ministry of Defences recent news that one of the carriers will be "upgraded" to better carry out the role of amphibious assaults!
Instead of a "money saving" super carrier which is barely more than an embarrassment to the Royal Navy as they are forced to pretend it's matching the US carriers she would become -the- top tier of her role, a huge notable step up from the America class and fit into a more fitting place in history, for herself and the Royal Navy.

Hey, /k/.

I just got this beautiful Damascus steel knife, but I'm pretty new to the upkeep and I sharpened it too much. I found out you're supposed to sharpen it with two strokes and I sharpened it 10 times on every part of my Lansky sharpening device.

Will I have damaged or taken much of the blades lifeline?

So I know about the experimental night vision from late WWII and the stuff from the Cold War you can sometimes buy and that's mostly from the 80s but not much about the stuff inbetween. How much was it used during Korea or Vietnam?
