  1. You sound like yours have a pretty good Ringo Starr accent rather than British "RP" He's still British, just not what people immediately think of as British (they think RP, you're trying to do an RP accent)

  6.  @Barabel22  They also have that problem with the M4 and 5.56mm green tip ammo. Go and find the article that inspired the book Black Hawk Down. Green tip 556 is high velocity composite rigid armour piercing, has a tungsten core. As they engaged local militia who were wearing just no armour, they found they had to empty entire magazines into their targets, about 20 rounds to put someone out of the fight. It's why they are moving up to larger, longer ranger rounds, 556 NATO is just not suitable anymore, peer or no peer.

  8. 40 cruise missiles a month is not chicken feed. If Ukraine can't be supplied with at least 40 SAMs a month then they'll all hit.

  9. But. Even if they used a short stroke, g36 rifling and all the other g36 bits. It's still not a g36, there's no patents on any of that stuff.

  10. Exactly, it might be good new but they can't/won't maintain it. Too busy underfunding the next white elephant

  11. Er, YouTube just tried to sell me a SAM system... Should I buy it?

  15.  @user-pq4by2rq9y  I was talking more generally about bullpup triggers but you're probably right. I suspect it's the same as the difference between pushrod and overhead camshaft engines or switching a light switch with a broom handle.

  16.  James Harding  Which makes me wonder why they have actually weapons of war. Seems unnecessary?

  17.  @jrhandley  Well, nations are their cities and towns so, yeah. It doesn't matter if a politician is career or urban, I'm a career engineer, doesn't make me a bad engineer. Mostly we see red state turkeys voting for Christmas. Every republican senator and your entire executive branch need to be voted out and sterilised. What we don't understand, it's that even though the American right is so clearly and obviously revolting, why it still continues. It's not like you don't have mountains of evidence of them being literally revolting people. Like, they are the worst I saw an interview with Jon Stewart of the daily show, he was asked by journalists how they found the video evidence off politicians saying what they promised they hadn't said. He said, "we have VCRs and TiVo, there's just guys looking back over what they said and we catch them in lies" He then opined that he wished he could say the things they did. To which Jon replied, "why don't you?" I think you're watching the wrong door. You talk about 2nd amendment and tyrannical government. But, none of you are ever going to turn your guns on real people. Who do you shoot? Why? When? All together? One by one? Are you literally expecting trump brand storm troopers to march into town?? I think that you are watching the wrong door

  18. I tell you, that mistrust you all harbor against each other is seriously holding you back. You need to start working together, not planning how to kill your neighbour.

  19. Gas cutoff has already failed. They have us too much notice that they were going to use energy as a political weapon and we filled out reserves, currently at 80% capacity in the EU. Germany is crash building LNG terminals for LNG ships and immediately remove temporary floating LNG facilities. Russia can't over charge, because then LNG is just cheaper.

  20.  @dmoney8602  Nah, how about you piss off? The Spartan is fantastic, exactly the right tool for the job. Not sure what you're for, but you most certainly are a tool. I mean, what are you even saying? Do you even speak English? Your response makes no sense whatsoever, it's so stupid it hurts my heart to read it.

  21.  Fidd88  Yeah, but... Who doesn't want a drop top APC? Suns out, Guns out! Throw another shrimp on the engine and away you go. The Bren carrier sounded like a great idea, high speed mobile suppression, turn up and light up. The mortar carrier also sounded like a fantastic idea, it's indirect, so not in the front line. And brings all the scoot you would ever want for your shoot. Both of them could carry tins of ammo and even if you don't use them they can deliver ammo to your dismount bren and mortar squads. Bet you could make a mean anti tank one too, with a bazooka team. I've probably already mentioned this but they were also listed by Ford flathead V8s. So hands down coolest military vehicle ever made

  22.  @tonyclough9844  Originally tisit were multiple different 'carriers/variants' coming off separate factory lines. The Universal Carrier was an improvement, the UCs are all identical and could subsequently be turned into an ambulance or a bren carrier or mortar carrier. And turned back again I believe, you just re-equip them when needed.

  31. 13:59 Wait, are you seriously telling me that HAMAS is better equipped with actual body armour than Russia is? 😂 That's hilarious.

  32. Does Hamas not use the RPK? Wouldn't the RPK be more of a Russian equivalent to this weapon rather than the PKM?

  34.  @thomgizziz  Aw... Yeah, I know. Amusing though. Lots of footage of all those starving NK proms getting shredded in Kursk now too. Ukrainian trenches appear to be a foot deep in spent brass now. Imagine how long they're going to be finding empty shell casings on the floor in Ukraine for. Centuries I suspect. Crazy to consider.

  36.  @luigimrlgaming9484  "I believe this was somewhere around the start of the war, yes?" No, current numbers "forcibly ambushing people in the streets for conscription" No, they're looking for people that have not responded to their mobilization call, they're not arbitrarily press ganging people. It's illegal to dodge the draft, these people are being arrested "Ukraine has been through 13 different mobilizations" Nope, 3rd wave started in April '24 "The AFU is still around a million strong, and Kyiv has been calling for ever increasing numbers of more conscripts." And? They're fighting for their lives, they need the numbers and NOT because of too many casualties, million strong army, ~60,000 casualties. But they need more than a million. "The AFU is suffering significant manpower shortages" Currently it's an issue, yes, they should have started the 3ed weave much sooner. Russia has exactly the same issue, worse in fact because they have no training infrastructure left, they sent all the instructors to die in Ukraine. "Ukraine often performs suicidal assaults for PR purposes, and it costs them a lot everytime." Nope. Russia does, although in their case it's because they're a crap, weak military, always was always will be. "Do the math, you'll find those casualty numbers are impossible." Math? The fuck are you talking about, you read reputable sources for casualty numbers Russia has all but exhausted its training infrastructure, medical infrastructure, artillery guns stockpile, tank stockpile, BTR stockpile and already can only fire missiles as far as they can produce them, real paint-still-wet stuff. Their massed terror attacks with ballistic, cruise and loitering weapons have have been neutralised, Ukrainian GBAD is now the very best of the best in the whole world. Russian air defence has failed though, they are powerless in the face of Ukrainian arial attacks on their oil infrastructure And now Ukraine and seized 1200 off square kilometres of Russian oblast because their defences were paper thin. Russia is not coming out of this a winner! 😂

  37.  @luigimrlgaming9484  Not true, Ukraine has released casualty figures, read "Ukraine war: Zelensky says 31,000 troops killed since Russia's full-scale invasion" as you can't post links. Ukraine and UK agree that it's been 600,000 Russian casualties America puts that at 350,000 But these are very typical numbers, Russia's attacks, Ukraine defends. Attackers expect to lose 3:1 soldiers of all else is equal. But it's not equal, Ukraine has troops hardened by 10 years of trench defence, all of Russia's troops are green as grass. Not to mention the wildly obsolete equipment Russia is fighting with

  38.  @user-m3hwh6t3v3r  Eh? No mate, Russian has not suffered 500 million casualties. There's only 144 million Russians in total 500 to 600 thousand Russian casualties, dead AND wounded. 60 thousand Ukrainian casualties. Current casualty rate for Russia is approx 1,300 a day. Up 30% from January '24 And their artillery fire density is down 20% over the last few weeks. It seems they have finally reached the bottom of the rusty barrels barrel Last thing I saw was 1938 towed artillery pieces being fielded. They have ⅓ the range of 155mm systems and they are being explosively dismantled about 50 a day.

  39.  @luigimrlgaming9484  Russian casualties currently stand at 10 to 1 against for Ukraine. 10 russian casualties for every 1 Ukrainian casualty. It's 500 to 600 thousand foot Russia, 60 thousand for Ukraine.

  40.  @picmedic  Er, JDAM IS a GPS kit for WW2 bombs. JDAM-ER is a winged GPS kit for WW2 bombs. PJDAM is a jet Powered JDAM. JDAM: 28km JDAM-ER: 72km PJDAM: 300km 🤩 JDAM-ER

  41.  @ShadowCider  MOD DI, UK Ministry of Defence Defence Intelligence put it at 500,000 casualties, that's dead AND wounded remember. But due to a critical lack of Russian casevac, the liked percentage is higher than it is for regular armies. I don't know what that IS right now, but it was a target unhealthy 6 figure number last time I saw it.

  49. Here's what's going to happen: SIG will make a few bil off of M5 (unless the US desides to maybe not bother much with the M5) But Tru Velocity are going to become bajjiolionairs selling placcy ammo to every gun nut in America and every NATO member. They should team up with RAROG who make plastic disintegrating links for 7.62x54mmR in Ukraine. Make plastic 7.62x54mmR for their plastic links, it'll weigh nothing! Also they can lend their polymer expertise to each other and make lots of linked ammo safely over the Atlantic, vintage lend lease style. Nice.

  50. But less powder and flash as well? Incredible. Tru Velocity will be the real winner from the trial and the M5 may still turn out to be the 21st century M14
