So, what does /k/ think about the F-35? Is it worth the money? Is it good enough to justify all the $$$ that the government is spending on it, when it could be using that same money for things like healthcare, education, and infrastructure? I read that for the price of one F-35, we could buy as many as six F-16's. If that's true then it seems like it would make more sense to just buy more F-16's to have a larger fleet of planes for a lower price.

No modern tactical fighter is worth the asking price these days. The F16 was a fourth the price 30+ years ago

How effective would a railgun be against an aircraft carrier?

Prolly a dent. pretty easy fix with a hammer though.

>>29149572
It would punch through the aircraft carrier's fairly thin belt, but you'd need to hit it several times to get it to sink. Carriers are massive, and you'll likely not get a second time to hit them once their aircraft are trained on you.

yes but it would be heavy and not very good at any one thing the original .50cal "sniper" rifles were m2s with scopes thrown on them but you could take a F/A AR15 with a heavy barrel throw a underbarrel shotgun on it and youve got a marksmens ar15 with a shotgun on it that can go full auto

Thinking about changing my carry ammo to these bad motherfuckers. My current carry ammo in my P938 is Federal HST 124 grain.
>pros
Higher raw kenetic energy by ft lbs
Still has '18 of penetration
Produces 3 seperate wound cavaties at least '8 in diameter, and 8' penetration
Higher chance of hitting a vital organ like the heart, liver, lungs, or spine; even with poor shot placement
>cons

Is there an app that will give measurements for how a sight picture will look based on input like sleeve length and sight radius?
I might
>0.215x0.115 front post
and this
http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/sights/rear-sights/battlehook-rear-sight-for-glock--prod55216.aspx?avs|Make~~Model_1=Glock__17
but the heights are different. Don't you want them to be the same. How do I know what thicknesses will give the air gap I want. They'll be apart on the slide so it's not like you can just measure and take the difference flatly?

This is what I mean, should I just calculate for 2 isosceles triangles to figure it out?
Should I get a S&W M&P 15-22, 10/22, CZ 452, or something else?

How are those jets supposed to take off?

>>29141500
The jets are stored below deck and brought up as needed so the flight deck isnt packed.
The only reason they are all on deck is for a show of force.

They move the excess ones below deck when they're not dickwaving
