Saw this on another forum..... damn! How come this is not more well known?
Because it's bullshit
>>28229897
Dude, I don't even know what to say about this.
Other than u dum of course
>>28229897
It is well known. What is also well known is the fact that Lockheed used the tech to refine and troubleshoot the design; it was not lifted wholesale. There is almost no similarity at all beyond very broad strokes.
Go look at youtube vids of how the Yak-43 performed short and vertical takeoff, and how it landed. Compare with the F-35. Then tell me how much direct similarity there is. You don't even need to dig into general schemata.

Post, admire, and talk about your Czech guns here

I like it.
It's a good gun
Lithuania chooses the Boxer as its next IFV.
88, 84 IFVs with 4 command variants.
And instead of the pictured Lance turret, they've gone with Elbit's UT 30 Mk 2 unmanned turret.
The Boxer beat out competition from
Patria's AMV fitted with the UT 30 Mk 2 turret; ; the Iveco SuperAV fitted with the UT 30 Mk2 turret; the Nexter VBCI with the T25 or T40 turret; the General Dynamics Land Systems LAV II with the Kongsberg MCT30 turret; the General Dynamics European Land Systems Piranha V; the Otokar Arma and Mizrak-30 turret; and the FNSS Pars with the E30 turret. Meanwhile, Elbit has separately bid its UT 30 Mk1 and Mk2 turrets, while Lockheed Martin UK has offered its 40 CTAS turret.

that unmanned turret is pretty cool.
nice to see an army actually using the boxer in a combat role, we (nl) only use ours for command, ambulance, engineering and cargo rolls
the ut30 is fucking huge. talk about maintaining a low profile. next gen of russian unmanned turrets look much more compact
>wheeled vehicle
uh huh

>300AAC most versatile intermediate cartridge
>easily convertible
>even with ammo cost it's cheaper than having multiple rifles for subsonic suppressed and supersonic shooting because 300AAC does it all
When did you realize this meme caliber is here to stay and will bring a new renaissance of AR versatility?
>pic related, I just bought 600 rds of 300AAC
>>28215926
I don't care what he says, even if he is a self-titled expert. .300BLK is never going to be fundamentally better than **.45ACP**, and it's never going to be a legitimate rifle round, because subsonic speed is just a huge limitation and the only way to make it better is to use a far larger bullet than thirty-caliber. The 9x39 Russian subsonic is getting close because the bullet is enormous, but it's still comparatively shit because it's subsonic.
There is no advantage that a .300BLK carbine will give you that a smaller .45ACP carbine can't give you more efficiently. None at all.
762>300
>inb4 which 762
Both.
>>28215986
Your missing the point... 300 blk isn't to replace your 45 carbine.

This is a nice board. Top memeage, but can you guys compete with this sexy motherfuckin terrorist and his missile launcher, hmmm,

>implying anything is sexier than pic related.
>>28110920
He's not sexy
He's a freedom fighter, not a terrorist
Thats a rocket, not a missile
And I can one up you.
Does /k/ have any software/game where you can create your gun?
Here I'm talking about something entirely dynamic, not just slapping existing parts of gun together, I want something where you have to create each parts, set they're mass and other parameters.
However I don't want some software to create real gun which will costs me hundred of dollars and 6 months training, I'd like some realistic software that's still game-ish
I don't care if it's 2d or 3d
Pic kinda related
>>28110596
Make one.

>>28110636
Here living in kek France, I can't make any gun
So /K/ where do you go shopping? local or on the web?
>>28110328
Although I try to buy small stuff at mom & pop stores, they often gouge far too much for ammo and new firearms (sometimes used can be found for a decent price). If I can find a gun for over 100 dollars less before tax online, I'll simply have it transferred instead
>>28110328
>>28110328
Depends on what I'm shopping for. If it's a gun, I only ever buy in-person so I can handle it, break it down, and inspect it before I buy. If it's ammo, again in person because shipping costs suck for "Dangerous Materials".
If it's parts or accessories, then it's okay to buy online since LGSs won't or can't necessarily carry the components you're looking for.
Does anyone have a 72 hour bag?
No because I'm not autistic
I have been putting a shopping list together. I imagine instant rice, a couple canteens, cliff bars and some tools should be enough for bugging out briefly during a happening.
Of course, that should be a last resort, as you should be able to "bug in" for weeks or months.
