Dunno russians and euro's are still mad that they didn't invent the powered aircraft and whine for some kind of advantage to make they peepees feel special I guess.

>They say it has low pk

Well it has the highest PK of any ARH BVR missile, so...

Missiles still kinda sucked even in the 80s, like the sparrow, but even in the 90s they got a lot better. I think the AIM-7 from the 90s had a PK of like 20 to 30%.

The AMRAAM is much, much better than that.

The newest models have enough delta V to hit bomber type targets out to about 100nm head on. This would give them a no escape zone of something like 10 to 30 nm. Couple that with modern AESAs that pretty much WONT drop the track, and the wizbang wizardry in the new AIM-120s guidance system, means its likely gonna fuck Ivan's shit up.

Nobody knows much about the red's stuff like R-77s because theyve never fired on in anger, but historically, their missiles suck. Not saying the new ones do, but I dont think an AA-10 has ever hit a target in combat.


Oh, but IR missiles are basically confirmed for GOAT, you are just so fucked if somebody fires one at you within perimeters.

>>29071864
Because they keep comparing it to BVRAAMs that technically don't exist yet.

I ain't no avionics engineer, but I'd assume they got some smart people together and made something with maximum stealth capabilities and maximum bombing capabilities the best/most efficient way they could.

>>29071816
It's Northrop-Grumman. Flying wedges are their trademark.

I'm just confused by the fact that it looks just like a damn B-2. Now, I haven't read up much on the LRS-B requirements, but what the fuck is this going to do different than a B-2? Is it supposed to be bigger? I don't understand why you don't just put an emphasis on PGMs mounted on strike aircraft instead of bigger bombtrucks that will (most likely) get shot down or intercepted before they have the chance to reach target. I know stealth is supposed to counter that, but it's not infallible.

You'll notice a falcon and a stealth bomber have similar profiles.

planes without a tail or vertical aileron have been considered unstable in flight until computers got fast enough to do the micro-corrections necessary to keep it stable and in-control.

Honey bees are mathematically unable to take flight, but they do every day. They just need really quick, and really small corrections to fly well.

>Worst that could happen
Your bubba backstop isn't sufficient or you miss and a round goes through wall into neighbors house and kills someone.

Also, if you're in city limits and not in the county I'm sure there's about a dozen permits you're gonna need to set up a legal indoor firing range.

You typically cannot discharge a firearm within city limits in most areas.

Exceptions would be designated gun ranges, or in legal self-defense situations.

If your home is outside of city limits, go nuts.

'Murica

I don't find it hard to believe that it can stop a bullet, but it can't stop the shooter just walking over and shooting the person beneath it around the sides.

Bingo!

Guys, we already know this. stop these threads already

>Do you ignore the rules?
You should.
>Do you think that the most recent shooting will cause both panic buying and a substantial push for legislation?

If you buy in bulk, you literally do not have to worry about stupid shit like panic buying and actually enjoy shooting as a hobby. And no, it won't do shit. No need to get riled up every single time some sperg shoots someone.

>>29068829
If its illegal to carry in your workplace no, if its company policy to disarm employees onsite thats up to you, if it's "suggested" that you dont conceal then fuck 'em and do it. My problem is if you don't have armed security staff why also ban concealment for employees. Wish more employers would put this infor,ation in the fine print of job applications

I'm not even supposed to carry a knife at work let alone a gun.

>What's the future of 5.45 availability look like?
Surplus is banned, but commercial 5.45 is equal to or cheaper than 7.62x39. Academy also sells it in boxes of 30, which really satisfies my autism

>>29067130
I had an SLR107 (5.56) and it was a great rifle.

Quick look shows PPR (Price Per Round) for 5.56, 5.45 and x39 are all about the same right now on Ammoseek for the cheapest stuff.

Get it in the caliber you want. I got 5.56 because I wanted ammo commonality. If I weren't so picky I'd have got 5.45. I did hear after the fact the 107s can have FTE issues but that never happened to me. They also don't make 107s anymore, but that shouldn't matter too much: they use a lot of 104/74 parts.

>>29067218
No you have a SLR106 not a 107.
The SLR106 has been known to have feeding issues do to the straightness of 5.56x45mm

SLR 104-5.45x39
SLR 106-5.56x45
SLR 107-7.62x39

eurocopter is smaller and lighter....
more of a support helicopter than a pure battle machine like the apache

It survived a Goldeneye nuke.

-less payload than an Apache(6tons vs 10tons)
-smaller gun than the Apache(20mm vs 30mm); drastically smaller magazine(450 vs 1200)
-less weapon types than an apache
-less armor than an Apache(not that the Apache is really armored, go figure)
-less flight ceiling than an Apache(important, means it struggles in many terrains; 4km vs 6.5km)
-more expensive than the Apache(fucking somehow; 30-35mil euros vs 20-35mil burgerdollars)

+more range than Apache(800km vs 500km)
+slightly more modern sensors

honestly, the Tiger is pretty shit, like the Eurofighter, it's an utterly inferior scam program. If you want an Apache alternative, you got three real choices: the T-129 Mangusta if you actually just want a light scout, a Ka-50 if you want a high performance beast with limited avionics and sensors, or a Rooivalk if you want a good all-around attack helicopter.

you should go somewhere and try out different weights. but you'd probably be better getting something around 30 pounds. just go buy a samick sage.

Go to the store and try drawing some of them. If it's easy to draw don't buy it. Buy something that makes your arms shake. Then you practice and your muscles grow up to the bow.

Otherwise you will be back in the store in a week to upgrade your limbs. I started with a 35lb sammick sage and went up to 45 lbs in a month.

>>29061752
A samick sage would be a better first bow, you can easily get lighter/heavier limbs and you should be able to sell it fairly easily if you don't like archery.
