  111. The real IR seeker head dummy missile was developed after a Sidewinder launched itself in a training exercise bringing down a B-52. Droplets of solder were found in other missiles but Raytheon insisted that it must have been condensed moisture that shorted the launch circuit into firing but at their expense cleaned and inspected the Air Force stockpile of suspicious sidewinder missiles. The pilot of the plane that carried the self launching missile was cleared because the safety wire to prevent the missile from being fired was still intact and if he had actually ordered a missile launch the fire control system would have fired the other sidewinder missile the plane was carrying.

  112. The battleship Admiral that understood the value of carriers.
    38
  113. The guilty driver is dead killed in an accident that he caused. What need is there for an investigation? The only question is who was going to compensate the innocent victim and that does not require a crime scene investigation.

    35
  126. If you want to hide a ship in port put a roof over the dock and anchor the camouflaged ship a few miles away.
    34
  127. The one-off Ethiopian Oddities could be official army armorer at the end of a long supply line making sure he has a last ditch gun for every cook and clerk.

    29
  142. With the USofA Navy in into and through WWII it is a fair criticism. As an American I have suggested that every Admiral and Captain there should have been shot for Dereliction of Duty which should also "encourage" the replacements.
    29
  143. That certainly explains why the USofA Navy specified that the new duel purpose 5 inch would have to fire the same ammunition as the existing 5 inch 51 caliber guns already in inventory.

    28
  150. First it is the Hamas terrorists "Health Minister" making the claim. Second it is entirely Hamas's fault.
    28
  151. N3 battleships: so powerful that islands row away rather than do battle.
    28
  152. Well the Japanese Navy did twice. Both times turned out to be a mistake. Particularly the 25mm.
    28
  153. Vote Yes, to become a second-class citizen.

    25
  167. These lockdown are just stupid.
    25
  168. The topic is how to extract money from consumers and have the corporation blamed for higher prices rather than the greedy governments.
    25
  169. But it is only an offshoot of the British running aground in your own waters club. Which at least puts them in good company.
    25
  170.  @axelpatrickb.pingol3228  So you know that socialism is demonstrably a bad idea, know that FDR was a New York Socialist, and that according to a simple reading of the constitution and the writing about the constitution by the nation's founders the NFA is unconstitutional.

    24
  172. If the local police had done their job and reported their previous encounters with the gunman for threatening to kill people with knives, and domestic violence he would have had to go through the black market to acquire guns.

    24
  173.  @zoiders  The first batch of MG3s built for the Bundeswehr were in 8mm also known as 8x57mm. Possibly it was to hide the WWII built guns they used.

    22

  180. "They didn't know what they were doing." is vastly different from "They should have known what they were doing."
    22
  181.  @mogaman28  That was more of a Japanese Army thing.
    22
  182.  Graf von Losinj  Ammo factories are real easy to blow to hell.
    22
  183. It's a weird sort of subtle.
    22

    21
  185. That is as useless as it gets.
    21
  186.  @tyjay6885  But clearly smarter than you.
    21
  187. 40 mm guns were still screaming all night with teething pain at that point.
    21
  188. It is just a demonstration of why militaries must be diligent in removing stupid energetic officers from their ranks.
    21
  189. ​ @wembozandco.807  That would just end with a pier on the offensive.
    21

    20
  195. As an American I do love a well done trolling even when against us.
    20
  196.  @matthewrobinson4323  No they are not, but the democrats still are the party of racism and oppression.
    20

    20
  198. They are so afraid of the swamp being drained.
    20

    19
  201.  @timberwolf1575  The reactors have to be decommissioned anyway. For a museum all you would have to do for safety is defuel and seal the reactors. Then weld the hatches to the reactor compartments shut. If you really want to be sure fill the compartments with concrete. Of course that does nothing to reduce the real expense of dealing with the lunatic regulations for disposing of nuclear waste and the green fascists responsible for them. Of course the navy had a perfectly good reactor on a submarine that was damaged beyond cost effective repair by an arson set fire that had nothing to do with the reactor and the Navy scrapped it rather than use it to supply power to an isolated facility that is burning diesel for electricity.
    19
  202. Without knowing better I would have been willing to believe that was a mid war German gun. It looks like it was a nice peacetime build submachine gun. Shame it had to be deactivated.
    19
  203. From just seeing the picture I would have guessed somebody got a license to produce copies of the FW 190 but their industry wasn't up to the job so they made lots of changes to get something off the assembly line.

    18
  210. You would need to modify the ammunition feed and while you are at it you might as well put a motor on it instead of the crank. It would not have been too bad in the upper turret of a M-3 Lee/Grant.

    17
  212. It looks to this American that the traitor is making excuses.

  222. The Italian Navy optical range finding was arguably the best in the world with Japan being the rival for first place. The UK, USofA, and Germany went with some silly radio thing.

  225. When launching planes the others were on the aft deck. When recovering planes the others were placed on the forward deck to make room for the landing.
    16
  226. I remember them claiming that the first supertanker wouldn't work because you couldn't build a keel strong enough to prevent it from breaking in half. Apparently the solution was to build a ship with three keels.
    16
  227. 1:00:20 We build a lot of complex structures full of structural supports wrapped in weather tight covering and find them quite useful. Granted people rarely want to use a skyscraper as a warehouse but a tank full of structural supports fills and empties just the same. You might call the supports baffles.
    16
  228. An old Sergeant said, "The only thing worse than cowering in a hole when someone is lobbing artillery shells at you is cowering without a hole when someone is lobbing artillery shells at you." Just a guess but being inside a ship taking non penetrating hits is very similar.
    16
  229. The weight savings I find the best is while the P-40 fuselage and main wings were separate complete structures which were then bolted together. The Honorable Zero's fuselage was not structurally complete until riveted onto the wing. This makes the plane take up more space when being shipped and made it more difficult to cannibalize two chopped up planes into a single flyable plane.

  232. The USofA Marines have an automatic grenade launcher used as a door gun on helicopters that in the event of a malfunction the responses is to throw the whole thing overboard.

  234. While I'm grateful for Manchin holding firm to sanity let's not forget that Manchin is only important because all the Republicans including the RINOs won't vote for this bill.

  238.  @transmaster  The. Japanese Army would not have attacked the USofA while fighting the war in China. They were already over extended and knew it.

  239. It sounds like Shinano would have been good at providing convoy escort for a support fleet while being part of the support fleet.

  243.  @Shadow_Hawk_Streaming  30 Mauser and the over charged Russian variant are a pretty potent cartridge and most the potent revolver calibers have big rims that make using them in box magazines impractical.
    15
  244. Granted loading the magazines without the loading machine is an exercise in futility and rimmed ammunition in box magazines is a pain in general with the loading machine and a good supply of magazines they don't appear to be that bad. I could see someone with memories of WWI trench raids converting M1891 Mosin–Nagants into short barreled carbines using the same detachable magazines. But then making a trench carbine LaBelle using chauchat magazines doesn't sound too bad either. Would it be a good thing or bad thing if I am giving "Call of Duty" ideas?
    15
  245. The democrats know that they don't have evidence.

  246. Boris Johnson obviously did his best to carry out leaving the EU on time so what "labour" has to say about it is, "We blocked Johnson from carrying out your will on Brexit but we know what is best for you.

    14
  251.  @harvesterofsorrow4930  Not completely true. The thirty-aught-six Chauchat did. They all were venerable to dust and the magazines were too fragile and the witness holes needed covered with plastic but kept clean they were reliable and they were the first fielded light machine gun.

  262. Just a SWAG but 83.5mm could be 4-pdr particularly if their iron was unusually low in graphite. During the USofA Civil war German guns were a little large because German cast iron was unusually high in graphite.

  266. There is a bit of logic to it but it doesn't account for older battleships. KGV vs Dreadnought, smirk but still battleship.
    13
  267. The USS Iowa has the Captain's port cabin and the Captain's sea cabin or ready room. The relatively luxurious Captain's port cabin would be high on the list of space available for VIP accommodations.

A Ranger battalion used self purchased AR-15 in Vietnam with the proper ammunition without cleaning without a problem; it was a big reason why the army was willing to look at the platform for their new rifle.

  287. Bad training. They either only did saluting fire or to save money they didn't load shot when training.

  288. In WWII the Swiss cut off from the source of most of their coal and needing coal for domestic heating to keep the people from freezing to death in winter the Swiss rail service was forbidden from using coal. While the Swiss mainlines were electrified the still used steam powered switch engines. And for the same reasons that Switzerland couldn't by coal they could not buy new engines. Fortunately while talking around the problem without finding a workable answer they decided to make tea. When the electric kettle whistled giving somebody clue and Switzerland having plentiful hydroelectricity generation converted their switch engines to use electrical heating. It worked well enough that after WWII ended they did not convert them back to coal and replaced them with conventional electric locomotives more on a as soon as convenient rather than as soon as possible basis. Some of the switch engines were sold and reconverted to coal. You can heat a boiler with electricity but the second law of thermodynamics is, You cannot win. You cannot break even. And you cannot get out of the game. You won't be able to generate enough steam to make the electric to heat the boiler.

  290. It is a bit inefficient until the infantry is hiding behind a stone wall.
    12
  291. It depends on how much HE you can carry. When you have a total of 42 rounds and some of them have to be anti tank, a machine gun with many thousand rounds available is probably more deadly to infantry. Quantity has a quality of its own.--- A sociopath operating under an assumed name.

  307.  @PaulfromChicago  My point is the smirk test only works within a generation or two. BB 34 & 35 are undeniably battleships but still significantly inferior to KGV.
    11
  308.  @benholroyd5221  Japan was not at war with with anyone else when they invaded Russia. Afghanistan and Finland were invaded by Russia so they didn't start the war. Nor were they fighting other wars at the time.

  328. When you have a tube magazine that take enough time to load that the total rate of fire is the same as a single shot rifle the magazine cutoff makes sense saving the magazine for when you need the burst rate. But in general it is a product of an officer class that doubted that enlisted men could use a brothel properly without supervision.

  364. Last time I was this early matchlocks were cutting edge weapons.
    9
  365. You have to be willing to take hits if you want to do significant damage to the enemy. The German surface force probably would have been less damaged and definitely would have done much more damage if they would have made a thunder run right through the heart of the convoy at the start.

  392.  @bkjeong4302  You are looking at it from the wrong prospective. What would have happened to a navy that spent the 30s building all carriers and the aircraft that were required to sink battleships had never materialized? The most expensive thing you can do is put all your money on the wrong option. Thus in the long run it is more cost effective to cover several options by say building carriers and battleships until you have proof of what the future holds. 0nly a fools bets everything on one roll of dice; even if the fools wins.

When I was young and foolish I left my Mauser rifle loaded for several weeks and the spring fatigued enough that it would not push the the second round up far enough to chamber.

Sitting compressed causes springs to weaken not the magazine being cycled; which is what you do to keep the magazine working.

There is no practical reason that the road should have been kept closed for hours.

  579.  @Ron52G  When I deactivated the magnetic detonator the torpedo stop blowing up prematurely. The impact detonator firing pin was too heavy for the spring originally installed. Lighter firing pins were used to fix existing stocks torpedoes in forward depots but new torpedoes got more powerful springs this probably means some got both. The running deep problem was solved by moving the pressure sensor from the aft cone where passing through the water lowered the pressure to the side where velocity doesn't effect pressure. The other deep run phenomena was solved by informing the submarine crews about the maximum rate at which the torpedo would move to the surface probably with a chart of depth of launch to minimum engagement range. The torpedoes circling back on the boat shot them (this was not shared with the Mark XV) was solved by setting a maximum angle off bore that torpedoes could be shot at. The Mark XV had bigger propellant tanks and a limiter on maximum rudder deflection. After WWII the magnetic detonator was fixed primarily telling crews how they worked and how to adjust them to the local strength of earth's magnetic field. All the problems could and should have been found and fixed before the USofA entered WWII. This is why I think several officers at BuOrd should have been put against a wall and shot.

  584.  @mancubwwa  The shells coming down at a steep angle have to be significantly more accuratly aimed to get a hits. Thus while they have an easier route in far more will miss. Adding velocity to a conventional Naval gun both improves penetration and increased the error in ranging that will still allow a hit. As for the USofA's superheavy projectiles I have mentioned before my belief that the senior officers at the USofA Navy's BuOrd of the 1930s should have been shot.

  589.  @benholroyd5221  When the Russia Japan war was fought Japan was not at war with China. Second Sino Japanese War ended bad for Japan; something about an unconditional surrender. The Continuation war was lost by Finland but by switching to fighting NATZIs they made a deal so that they only lost about 10% of their territory including Viipuri their forth largest city to Russia. But the had to acknowledge the war as being their fault rather than it being the fault of the Russians with their unprovoked invasion of the Winter War. History is not your strong suit.

  590. The 109's landing gear issues tend to be over stated. Landing even hard on a properly smooth runway almost never had a gear failure without stiff cross wind or ground loop. Between the arrested landing and the carrier running into the wind for landings eliminate the leading causes of gear failure and the navelized 109s did have strengthened landing gear.

It also helped keep older reciprocating engine battleships relevant to the front line role. Really they stuck with 21 kts a little long.

  682.  @jcole4  While much cheaper the ammo was wrong partially because of the heavy fouling that was solved by issuing cleaning kits within months. But also because while giving the same muzzle velocity the powder provided a different pressure curve that provided the wrong pressure at the barrel vent causing excessive wear and malfunctions. Colt modified the M-16 to account for the change in a timely manner once they were informed of what was causing the problem and that the Army intended to continue using the cheaper powder.

There were many amazing escapes including on guy that was grabbed by two Germans (presumably officers) before he touched the ground and was thrown into the back of a staff car he kept going out the other side and successfully escaped Germany. Three men only one who spoke German equiped with a measuring tape and clip board measured their way out of Germany. Another bought a wheelbarrow from a workman and pushed it out the front gate of the POW camp and out of Germany. Funny stories are usually easy to remember.

Those with preexisting conditions should have the option to self isolate without losing job. People should be able to take hydroxychloroquine and zinc preventively with after a warning about the risks; it is used to prevent malaria all the time. Encourage everyone to wear masks and wash their hands a lot but locking everyone up to fight a disease that is only about twice as bad as an average flu is just stupid.

  887. The Me 109 that were being built for carrier operation were longer winged to improve takeoff off and landing performance. 3/4 complete when the carrier was cancelled they were completed with high altitude engines and performed well as high altitude fighter and the take-off and landing performance was reported as being better but probably not up to launching from a ship without a catapult but as the USS Gerald R Ford demonstrates that is not an incapacitating problem.

  892. Actually it depends on how long you have to cure it. In the Denver Colorado area a century old concrete irrigation control structure that was unused because the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad connected to the transcontinental railroad bringing in Agricultural products particularly wheat from the great plains at lower cost than could be grown locally turned out to be too tough to tear down. just the right ratio and a century to cure without being stressed makes for really hard concrete.

(Ultra enriched fuel is expensive and it was cheaper and faster to pick it up than make replacement material) the forth bomb came down under a parachute into the sea. It was found and intact and was recovered. This bomb was scrapped as well because it was easier to build a new bomb than repair the damaged one.

  906.  @bkjeong4302  When the battleships were proved to be displaced from being the queen of the seas it did not mean that the battleship was not valuable. The question is whether their reduced value was worth what was needed to finish them for the projected war left to be fought . For the completed Iowas it was. Postwar the Russians who were never stupid, weird but not stupid, were building a big gun navy. Air defense weapons were getting better reducing the ability of planes to get close enough to effectively drop torpedoes and dive bomb. The battleship was suddenly no longer clearly second tier platforms when looking at it with just the information available at the time. What if the Russians has a antiaircraft laser on the drawing board. we knew that nuclear bombs were going to get smaller and that the Russians were going to get them. What happens to a squadron of torpedo bombers that has a nuke go of in the middle of it?

  941.  Father Stack  The USofA Marines set up a base in northern South Vietnam that could only be supplied by air until much later and months of constant battle in which the Marines increased their strength on the ground the army got the ground offensive and road to them built. The first mistake the French made was hiring Japanese to police French Indochina until they could get some white people there. The second was disbanding the Devil's Guard because the communists whined to the international (leftist) press that the French were using SS to beat up on them. At Bien Dien Phu the mistakes were badly underestimating the response they would get and then not committing the forces necessary to win.

  943. The Maginot Line did exactly what it was intended to do prevent the Germans from crossing the French German border and go through Belgium. Belgium that knew that they had no chance at stopping the Germans on their own were good with France's plan to fight Germany in Belgium. The problem was that none of the various factions of socialists running the French government trusted their army enough to let them be capable of getting into Belgium in necessary force in time to fight the planned battle. If the socialists hadn't all known that if they had the overwhelming firepower that the necessary army represents they would have used it to take absolute power and thus believed that given the chance the non-authoritarian General Staff would do the same and didn't trust the army enough to let them be capable of doing the job.

  956. I think the hatred on 308 is just stupid. The Japanese with their experience in China in the 1930s with an intermediate cartridge during WWII developed and fielded a rifle firing a the more powerful 7.7x58mm cartridge. Sure the intermediate cartridge is more comfortable to fire and you can carry more rounds it does not produce a DRT when some ill intending jackwad jumps out from behind a bush with a machete.

  988.  @cgunugc  None of this alters the fact that when the Navy converted the M-1 rifles storing loaded magazines was bad and the loaded enblock clips were ready when needed not after the time was taken to load them or the armorer wasting time and effort unloading and loading magazines to have some ready when needed.

  989. Watch to the end.

  990.  @nirfz  It would be pretty hard to not notice that the guns were stolen and at the time if you were going to buy several hundred or more guns if the original manufacturer was unable or unwilling to provide them in a timely manner there was plenty of competent manufacturers that would produce quality copies for you that would not have the government coming after you with blood in their eye. The risk/reward ratio is way out of balance for stolen government guns.

  992.  @bengrogan9710  Without Spitfires to keep the 109s busy the Hurricanes would have been fighting for their lives against the 109s and not shooting down bombers. The 109 losses would have been easily sustainable and the bomber losses essentially nil. Hurricanes became ground attack planes because they were not up to the task of fighting German fighters.
    3
  993.  @bengrogan9710  The Spitfires engaging the 109s is what allowed the slow and sluggish but much faster to produce Hurricane to engage the bombers. Without the Spitfires NATZI losses would have been negligible leading to badness things.

For minors it should be up to the parrents but then you need to allow parents to effectively punish children and hold the parents responsible for the children's actions. Define mentally ill. But if they are law abiding why would you feel the need to disarm them. Should all states be open carry? Y,es or concealed carry without requiring any special permit? Guns in public schools? Yes Guns at public parks? Yes Guns in public police station? Yes Gun carried by law abiding people are not a problem and criminals don't obey the law.

  1083.  @hayrayna1314  Nuclear reactors can be cooled with air. You could make an atomic gas turbine, the compressor is optional; I would build a very tall chimney with the reactor at the bottom and a windmill at the top making sure that there is plenty of concrete between the reactor core and the energy harvesting machinery. Although an oxygen free gas mix is safer but the open system is easier. You can also cool the core with molten metal. I like sodium but the Russians used lead in the reactors that powered the Alfa class submarines. There is also a variety of molten salt designs both with the salt solely used as coolant and having the fuel in the solution.

  1094. President Trump's "conspiracy theories' have all been proven true so far.

  1113.  Jack Richardson  When the BLK protests/riots began non of the leftists worried about Wuhan flu but let the economy recover a bit or conservatives hold a rally and they go full panic mode. The infection rate is up but the death rate is not. Nor our the hospitals being overwhelmed. The lockdown was never about stopping Wuhan flu it was about keeping the hospitals from being overwhelmed. There have been more deaths from the lowdown than from Wuhan flu.
    2
  1114.  Buster Nutt  Clearly you are.
    2
  1115.  Jack Richardson  After tests the three drug cocktail has been approved for treating Wuhan flu by the FDA. But the course of treatment must start in a timely manner that report is from patents that were put on ventilators before treatment began or hydroxychloroquine was used alone. Feel free to lock yourself in the basement and refuse treatment if you still get Wuhan flu but the facts are not on your side.
    2
  1116.  Oliver Beerthanks  In the USofA the hospital gets more money if it is a Wuhan flu death and the democrats are desperate for anything that will help them defeat President Trump.
    2
  1117.  @chamillarobshaw272  Yes and those with preexisting conditions need to take precautions. But the hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and antibiotic treatment is highly effective in treating those who develop severe symptoms if taken in a timely manner and for those that it fails on there is a second treatment that is over 80% effective when started after the victim needs put on a ventilator. There will be some deaths but there are deaths every time a case of the sniffles goes around. It costs about 40 dollars USofA for both rounds of treatment.
    2
  1118. In all fairness to Trump he wants free trade but you don't get it because you politely ask the guy who is screwdling you.

  1126. Just for some perspective. Washington D.C. and baltimore are esentually one metropolitan area. While the USofA is third in the world for murders But if you remove 1. Chicago 2. Detroit 3. Washington D.C. 4. St.Louis and 5. New Orleans all cities that have been controlled by democrats for decades and have strict gun control laws the USofA becomes 189 out of 193 all the nations on Earth.

    2
  1144. We must put permanent quarantine measures in place on everyone coming out of communist China.
    2
  1145. There are risks to all vaccines but the risk from Wuhan Flu is too low unless you are in a high risk group to vaccinate against it. Also vaccination loses effectiveness over time. So vaccinating children for a disease that won't present a significant risk to them for decades is just asinine.
    2
  1146. How many people die in an a average flu season? How many die in traffic accidents every year? How many die from doctor's mistakes every year? Without vaccine only about a third of your population will get Wuhan Flu..

Limestone is also fossil carbon. Believe what you want but it is not the sceptics that are denying science.

    2
  1259.  @waskozoids  The Russians were always our enemies we were just stupid enough to ignore that because Adolf was stupid enough to invade Russia while fighting other wars.

  1264.  @kemarisite  YouTube ate a comment with a link to the information. Try researching. The 24-pounder long gun was a heavy calibre piece of artillery mounted on French warships of the Age of sail, second only to the 36-pounder long gun. Crew: 12 gunners and one powder-boy Calibre: 152,2 mm Weight: 2.500 metric tons And The Canon de 4 Gribeauval or 4-pounder was a French cannon. The 83.5mm fits right in with that group of triple A guns but it also fits as a 4-pdr using heavier than average cast iron round shot.
    2
  1265.  @jonny-b4954  The rivets were hammered tight while red hot and shrank while they cooled making the seam tighter. Iron oxide is larger than just iron so when a bit of rust forms between the plates the seam gets tighter. Paint helps keep water from getting between the plates as well. But a very large number of photos of these ships show them dumping significant amounts of water overboard. Welding is clearly more watertight as well as stronger and lighter but it allows cracks to propagate over much larger areas.

  1269. MacArthur will certainly smart enough to come to the conclusion that there was under no circumstances he was going to be given a Fleet Carrier could have leaked his intent to take Rabaul both to remind the people that the Philippines had been under supported and to explain his not being as successful as he believed he should have been.

  1270. Ammonia absorption and caustic soda engines could provide short ranged air independent propulsion and oil fired steam plants can also recharge the energy storage of both types. They were both used along side the shorter ranged pneumatic locomotives as smoke free locomotives for use in tunnels before the electric motor was invented. The danger represented by the energy storage technology in both had them completely retired from commercial and industrial use within 2 years of the first successful electric locomotive. I would put the risk of operating them at about the same as a nuclear powered ship generating and fueling anti-submarine helicopters with hydrazine.

  1278.  @chloehennessey6813  Hitler had to launch WWII early because his socialist programs caused him to keep running out of money. So he kept adding people to steal money from. He invaded Russia because he no longer had the money or spare industry to keep buying oil. Because the railroads had been socialized and didn't have money for new locomotives and rolling stock Germany suffered coal shortages because they could not ship it from the mines to where it was needed resulting in lowering the production of coal but Germany still had significant aircraft production at the end of the war.
    2
  1279.  @alwayscurious3357   @BlackHawkBallistic  There was also a navalized Me109 with longer wings. When Graf Zeppelin was cancelled the 3/4 completed long wing 109s were finished given high altitude engines and performed quite well. And the Ju 87 Stuka is one of the best dive bombers ever built despite requiring heavy escort. There is no reason to believe that she would have been hopeless dropping torpedoes either.

  1286.  @senecanero3874  The radar alone would have made it a one-sided curb stomp as the German ships would know where British ships were and providing real accurate range estimates putting the initial salvos much closer to on target. Then add anti-ship missiles targeting the flagships; except Beatty's of course; why bother? With the radar and modern sonar giving location the modern diesel U-boats would descrew a few ship at the very least.

  1306. 4.25inch is 107.95mm so something like a modernish105mm anti-tank gun could have the range and power for fighting cruisers but would require more power in the turrets for air defense use.
    2
  1307. According to Nicholas Moran of The Chieftain's Hatch the USofA Navy did a really good job of indexing what they sent to the National Archive. It is almost like they might want to access the information again. The Army just randomly threw stuff in boxes and sent it to the archive instead of the dump. Which would make the job of a spy trying to find a particular document really difficult. So it might be easy to find the color film of dye Pack water plumes.

  1330.  @WALTERBROADDUS  They had the wrong bombs because they were attacking the wrong targets.
    2
  1331.  @johnfisher9692  Japan intended to declare war before the attack. USofA intelligence decoded the message from the Japanese government to the Japanese Embassy instructing the Diplomat do declare war in time to give a warning the Embassy's decoding equipment malfunctioned delaying the delivery of the declaration. Apparently the Japanese government not having a plan to win the war on the ground wanted to avoid a sneak attack while negotiating so that they would be able to negotiate an end to the war that let them keep the oil field they intended to take.
    2
  1332.  @MrBITS101  Bombing the tank farms would have been a waste of bombs. The USofA would have had replaced the fuel before the fires went out and refueling ships directly from a tanker would have been only a minor annoyance. The USofA was the biggest oil exporter in the world at the time.
    2
  1333. More likely a Chinook.
    2
  1334.  @Phatman2167  The Washington and London navel treaties on the balance did more good than harm. First they saved everybody vast amounts of money, then eliminated tension that most historians who specialize in that era believe would have led to a war between the USofA and UK. The USofA Navy preoccupation with using the Panama Canal led them to compromising combat capabilities and efficiency in daily operations to save 2 weeks transit time when transferring from one coast to the other.
    2
  1335. The Panama Canal was just too convenient at times leading to design compromises that cost more than having to sail around South America.

    2
  1342.  Schlomo Baconberg  How hard you work makes much more difference in raises and promotions in a non-union shop than they ever will in a union shop and you can tell the people that tell you that you are working too hard and making the others look bad to fuk-off.

  1350.  @thewingedhussars459  So because hitting steaming ships that take evasive action when high altitude horizontal bombers drop their bombs is exceedingly unlikely unless you have enough planes to cover the entire area that the ship could get to while the bombs are falling like the USAAF doctrine called for but did not have the planes for until after the B-17 had been withdrawn from the Pacific theater mean that B-17 bombers can't hit stationary targets like anchored ships and buildings. Thus demonstrate your lack of knowledge; they may miss the Bombardier's target by several hundred meters but not by several miles.

  1359. The Great Eastern was designed to be operated in a river too shallow for a ship of her draft using screw propulsion but to also steam from the British home islands to India unrefueled. This called for the greater efficiency of screw propulsion. The sails were intended for emergencies but would undoubtedly been used to save fuel when sailing with favorable winds. What doomed her as a liner was the fuel consumption of single expansion engines. If she had been built just a few years later she probably would have been a commercial success but then the people laying under sea cables would have been out of luck. I always found it strange that the paddle wheels could not be lifted from the water and the screws absorb all the power from the boilers if not engines.

  1360. Would age of sail ships have benefited from bulbous bows? While the huge slow turning diesel engines have advantages including their ability to be coaxed into burning Bunker C, could you get greater speed while maintaining efficiency using electric or hydraulic powered screws using a large number of smaller high speed diesel engines?

  1365.  @timengineman2nd714  Radiation is not as dangerous as you think and respirators are thing. When they decommissioned the Rocky Flats nuclear weapons plants they dealt with rusty steel contaminated with plutonium and sand blasted it without contaminating the workers. They used dry ice as the sand so that they didn't create piles of contaminated sand. All the springs in Europe that have been known since antiquity for having healing properties have one thing in common. A higher than average background radiation count.

  1404.  @WALTERBROADDUS  The British accepted American volunteers into the RAF do you really think that they would turn down more that would return to American service when the USofA entered the war? There was a lot of isolationist and neutrality opinion in the USofA but that did not include FDR. The AVG recruited serving Army & Navy pilots and the perks of accepting the offer was getting regular commissions when returning from China; Greg Boyington succeeded in getting his as well. I read his book the lengths he went to in avoiding admitting that he was an alcoholic even after admitting that only imperial Japan and AA were the only forces that ever succeeded in keeping him sober was epic.
    2
  1405.  @WALTERBROADDUS  So does building carriers. Did you even consider where I got the advanced instructors and leaders from? Also film the lectures and Q and A to reduce the classroom time for the instructors. Today the USofA Navy is not looking at a crash expansion of the carrier force but if it was except for getting experience from the Brits they could use the same method. Not doing something is not the same as not being able to do something.

  1409.  @timothyschmidt9566  Something can be very good and be of suboptimal design which means they could have been much better. The flatter trajectory means that for a larger portion of the flight the projectile will hit the target this also means that for guns aimed to exactly the same accuracy difference in the distance to where they hit the ocean surface is larger at the same time as you get an increased chance of getting hits. They are firing at a vertical target not a horizontal target. The distance that the shell covers while between 20 meters above the surface and impacting with the surface much greater so you have a greater chance of getting a hit.

  1411.  @buzzardbeurling  Your statement does not match reality. No matter how thin or soft thel armor it will alter the direction of travel of the penatrator in the manner I described.
    2
  1412. No. When a projectile penetrates an armor plate its course changes towards going in at a 90 degree angle to the plate. With the Hood's sloped armor the deflection would be upwards. It confuses the hel out of me as to why but your theory runs counter to how things work in the real world.
    2
  1413. When projectiles pass through armor at an angle the change of the direction of the projectile in in the direction that changes the angle towards 90 degrees unless the armor has a really localized weakness present which British armor has never shown signs of. It is a significantly less likely to be correct theory.

  1426. Cavitation can be reduced by adding air bubbles to the water this helps avoid the vacuum/water vapor bubbles and puts in a spring effect for cushioning the shockwave when the vacuum bubbles collapse. Not an optimal solution but it is better than having your propellers beat to pieces.

  1431. The Great White Fleet being dependent on British support ships did help deescalate tensions of having all those American battleships in Japanese waters because if America had taken the opportunity to attack Japan all the Japanese had to do to win was not lose quickly. Of course if Japan started the war no matter how much damage they did to the Great White Fleet four years later the American Navy would arrive with more new battleships than Japan had ships in total. Aggressor is guaranteed to lose is a great way to prevent war.
    2
  1432.  @bradwolf9410  That is why the delay. The fuse ignites hitting anything harder than a seagul but does not set off the shell until enough time has passed for the shell to have passed through any armor that it will penetrate but if it hits something unarmored like a CVE it still does more damage than going in one side and out the other. The battle of Samar springs to mind as an example but if the commanding admiral had decided that obliterating the American invation force would only result in Japan suffering more vengeance after the Americans finished winning such fusing would have been counter productive.

Napoleon should have grovelled for Russia's forgiveness for the insulting note rather than invading.

  1449.  @barryjones8842  Well to be functionally identical to Essex class not physically identical. Being much more resistant to dive bombing while carrying the same compliment of aircraft requires a different overall design. Midway class had the armored deck and a larger compliment of planes. They also had stability issues probably from the weight of the armor being so high but the navy kept them through the late 80s so clearly they weren't bloody useless. Playing with the idea of a time traveler story I came up with a couple possible ways to hide the construction. One of which is pick somewhere with terrible weather to explain the roof and build some Blue Ribbon liners first so nobody really questions what is being built.
    2
  1450. What happens if an eccentric American multi millionaire had succeeded in secretly building two functionally identical to Essex class except for having an armored flight deck ready for sea trials by December 1941?

  1500.  @ostiariusalpha  In all fairness the F-35 program is three similar planes with a very high degree of parts commonality. Once you accept that the program's cost is much more reasonable. If the Air Force and Navy/Marines had except for the requirements for carrier operations exactly the same requirements for a new plane say a interceptor/fighter bomber they could be efficiently built on the same production line like the F-4 Phantom II and the Air Force would get a particularly reliable plane as demonstrated by the A-3/B-66. The Navy was vastly relieved to hand the majority of their A-3s maintenance hogs to the Air Force who found them to be extremely reliable because they were not pounding on and off carriers.

  1520.  @sebastiangiovannella7778  Pre WWI.

  1521. It depends on what was being taken and from who. Taking farm implements from a farmer who is trying to feed his people wasn't going to fly.
    2
  1522. Belt fed just get a belt fed.
    2
  1523.  @davidmarquardt2445  The lever action shotgun is an awesome example of why "forcing" a genius to carry out a bad idea is a bad idea. They might make it work but it won't ever up to par.
    2
  1524. The first time I heard of a pack howitzer I had a vision of a mule with its legs sticking up in the air and a surprised look on its face.
    2
  1525. Tiger does make a hurumping sound though.
    2
  1526.  @guypierson5754  Ok. For the not so bright. Their is no motivation in a cost plus contract to get the job done quickly or cheaply as the company continues to make profit as long as they continue to work on it.
    2
  1527. It is a good thing it hadn't reached full production or they would have been used against the Russians and good guys.
    2
  1528. Turn your pickup into a technical.
    2
  1529. When you have a normally unarmed police force having the armed response team armed with a weapon that is hard to miss seeing makes a lot of sense. Bayonets are a hell of a tool for preventing riots; apparently it's very hard to feel anonymous and contemplate being perforated at the same time.
    2
  1530. It is a carbine because it is short for ease of use while on a horse.
    2
  1531. The long stock is likely to move the venting gas farther from the shooters face.
    2
  1532. Well played.
    2
  1533. They could have fixed the impact on the hammer problem with a modified grip.
    2
  1534.  @MrFlyinghellfish  I am sorry rational thought offends you.
    2
  1535. That decocking safety is brilliant.
    2
  1536. Is carrying say forty percent more rounds in a magazine beneficial if it requires you to fire twice as many rounds to get a kill?
    2
  1537. Kind of slimy = Government in action.
    2
  1538. So is the Yugoslavian made M76 better or worse than a M-1 Garand as a general issue rifle. In fact ranking the full list of full power semi-automatic battle rifles would be really nice. This would include rifles fielded as selective fire rifles but only in semi-automatic. (This will undoubtedly improve the ranking of the M-14.)
    2
  1539. Now people will wonder why you bring a watering can with you to the shooting range.
    2
  1540. A demonstration of the non-effectiveness of gun bans.
    2
  1541. The solution? Make parts to specification.
    2
  1542. It's unlikely but they might have been trying to convince the enemy that they were shooting a DShK.
    2
  1543. A pistol for the perfumed peacocks of a third world army's generals.
    2
  1544. .577 for when you need a DRT.
    2
  1545.  @RyNsWoRLD  Blood sometimes saturates the muscle causing it to rot very fast.
    2
  1546. A shot into the shoulder doesn't always ruin the meat but does often enough I don't blame anyone for not packing it out on their back.
    2
  1547. I think bullets based on the Williams Patent bullets, also known as "cleaner bullets", variant of the Minie ball would work better but maybe that is just after many shots have fouled the barrel.
    2
  1548. Not to me.
    2
  1549. I would say without evidence don't discount the possibility that the stock was replaced by Ethiopians.
    2
  1550. It looks more useful for the mugger than the muggie.
    2
  1551.  @Tremezy  You act like that is some kind of sacrifice.
    2
  1552.  @davidbrennan660  Just having the pan closed will prevent accidental discharges.
    2
  1553.  @kirknay  It takes a lot of practice. I sprained my wrist and discovered that playing with myself with my off hand was difficult.
    2
  1554. Great design for using a red dot on.
    2
  1555. That was a lot of money for a single action trigger pull on a double action revolver. The only person that would make money out of building them would be a custom gunsmith.
    2
  1556. ​ @Glaaki13  Not in numbers worth worrying about.
    2
  1557. So the answer is a combination of poor quality control, insufficient safety margins, and being easily overcharged while being used by under trained personnel.
    2
  1558.  @infinitesimotel  Says the irrational.
    2
  1559.  @infinitesimotel  Only to the rational.
    2
  1560. A Yugo and a VW Rabbit are outwardly very similar but which one would you buy?
    2
  1561. The expansionist Russian Empire ran right up to the middle of Germany. The USofA, UK, and France remember that Germany produces some damn fine soldiers and it would be nice if West Germany helped pay to defend Western Europe from said Russian Empire.
    2
  1562. Should have used a fake European name maybe something Polish.
    2
  1563.  @worldtraveler930  I don't think people will want to be bait for long.
    2
  1564. Let's see how effective the M-1 carbine is when you dive out of your bullet riddled truck and have to go back for it. Really the 1911 was designed for cheating in a knife fight; a roll it fulfills rather well. But I really think that to replace a pistol you need a gun you can carry like a pistol; strapped to you in a holster that doesn't get in the way all the time. And while we are making a wish list extending the shoulder stock should chamber the first round.
    2
  1565. Just for giggles and grins I'd like to see him take a slug loaded 12 Gage and a AR 15 pistol to a match.
    2
  1566. But what if you put a folding stock on the 1911?
    2
  1567. Having learned to shoot and having spent many years shooting a bolt action rifle having a charging handle on the right makes perfect sense. I want to handle the magazine with my dominate hand as well.
    2
  1568. how does it lock the cylinder forward when the hammer falls.
    2
  1569. If you have heard of the method of priming and loading British muskets put forth on the 90s tv show of "bite (prime shown as part of pour) pour spit tap" it is a workable if dangerous way of loading a Brown Bess. Everything Black Powder did a video on it. https://youtu.be/68K86C8-OHY
    2
  1570.  @nirfz  Possibly but sonic booms don't trigger avalanches.
    2
  1571. The variety of socialist factions that made up the republican side were the lawfully elected government and a little less evil.
    2
  1572.  @Rotsteinblock  Time passes sensitivities change.
    2
  1573.  @d.o.g573  That is a first World thing. Guns blowing up in their face/hand would change their mind.
    2
  1574. Why does sticking a jalf inch of barrel out the front keep you from assembling and using the pistol with the longer Barrer?
    2
  1575. The Werndl pistol caliber carbine. Who knew?
    2
  1576. Given where the home of the Czech people is on a WWI map a reasonable fear of the consequences of something happening to the elevators and Flour Mill guarding it makes sense.
    2
  1577.  @Momo_Kawashima  The French didn't trust radio comunications because of the possibility of being deceived by Germans impersonating French soldiers on the radio and sense the French successfully did the same to the Germans a few times it was not an unreasonable fear.
    2
  1578. Just another casualty of an unconstitutional law that did absolutely nothing to reduce gun violence.
    2
  1579. Quick change cylinders.
    2
  1580. It works, well it won't after we are done. --- Government.
    2
  1581. Not stop, deflect the chain fired bullets.
    2
  1582. @Broccoli Rob Communism is not a great idea being based on the foolish notion that everyone will work hard for the common good.
    2
  1583. J. Edgar Hoover must have hated Arabs more than Jews, or it was a really big bribe.
    2
  1584. Dror was translated to whichever one was most useful at the moment.
    2
  1585.  @anzaca1  Unless they measure the delivered energy.
    2
  1586.  @randomnobodovsky3692  If you are already stocking the cartridge and can get parts that works.
    2
  1587. Which is why you don't make crap.
    2
  1588. You only put the "safety" on when surrendering hoping your gun fights on.
    2
  1589.  @LordVader1094  Imagine you are at a shooting range and the range safety officer assured you that it was safe to shoot but he had placed a tied up men behind the paper targets. You then practice your markmenship and several of the men are killed and wounded. Who is guilty? You fired the bullets but had every reason to believe the range was clear. The range safety officer didn't fire a shot. Who is the murderer? lbj played the roll of the range safety officer. You played the roll of the Israeli Air Force.
    2
  1590. But if a Chauchat had been properly converted to 7.62x54r (unlike the thirty-ought-six conversion so it runs equal to the French guns in WWI and using the same magazines as the LS-26 to make the comparison fair how much better is the LS-26?
    2
  1591. If you are using a pistol at a range where the slight improvement in accuracy provided by a fixed barrel matters you are probably doing something wrong. Recoil action is just so much better.
    2
  1592. I think the USofA test was, Fired one shot got slapped by the trigger and said, "0h hell NO!"
    2
  1593. Just think of all the steel that was saved by making the cartridges short.
    2
  1594.  @chadmeyer9500  How is the pay at Winchester?
    2
  1595. Talk to each other much decided on what was best individually and it was different.
    2
  1596. A lousy substitute for a bb gun.
    2
  1597. I can see the designer testing an overlong stripper clip and settling on the maximum number of bullets that works well.
    2
  1598. To me it would be taken as proof of the power of prayer.
    2
  1599. The warehouse guards had to be armed with something.
    2
  1600. I imagine that would have won many a single shot breach loader military trial if it would have been introduced in time.
    2
  1601.  @IgorOzarowski  Let's assume that only 30% of trigger pulls result is a shot being fired but five thousand men are aiming at you.
    2
  1602. Or they simply never looked in the box spring.
    2
  1603.  @alimanski7941  Then it would be one in ten but that is before demon Murphy raised his ugly head.
    2
  1604. The advantage of the RPG 7 is they are so cheap that you can afford to train with them and fire enough in combat to hit things like helicopters.
    2
  1605. Buy it and take it and a single shot rifle to a 2 gun match; one with a good sense of humor. You would win the absurdity class.
    2
  1606. If the bullet goes out the end of the barrel, the shooters face is not burned off, and you are not reloading the spent brass are split casings a real problem?
    2
  1607. I suppose 8mm Kurz would require a sleeve in the chamber.
    2
  1608.  @brucebaxter6923  It looks like a nice SMG but to get the advantage you still have to buy a whole new gun to start with.
    2
  1609.  @brucebaxter6923  Replacing the barrel on existing pistols and SMGs is cheaper than buying entirely new guns. Modern ball bearings are smooth enough to give reasonable accuracy without rifling and so thearetically with a suboptimal spin as well.
    2
  1610. Adding a non reciprocating charging handle and dust cover wouldn't be that difficult nor with a dust cover over the injection port to be difficult. With the above dust covers and rechambered to .30 carbine and ignoring the locked breach requirment it might have made a reasonable good M-1 carbine entry.
    2
  1611.  @r.b.rozier9692  The ability to spell correctly is there no way linked to actual intelligence. It is just a test of a specific memory process death can be disrupted by any one of several learning disabilities. There is evidence that the more intelligence someone is the less likely he is to be a good speller.
    2
  1612. They do come with a lot of advantages.
    2
  1613. Wouldn't have been easier to just to come up with a cold-weather lubricant?
    2
  1614. So how much did you pay for the best of the shortened Lebels?
    2
  1615. The Paint Drying channel is better than History Channel these days.
    2
  1616. It appears to me that delayed blowback operation is dependent on highly consistent ammunition.
    2
  1617.  @bumblingbureaucrat6110  The same culture that built the Prussian Army built the Prussian Navy. There is no reason to believe that the navy was incompetent.
    2
  1618. What keeps the bolt control ratchet from holding the bolt closed when firing?
    2
  1619. There are a lot of people strength in their hands to drive the bullet most the way in. I can see an old time gunsmith as being one of them.
    2
  1620. It is just a guess of course but he is not going to like the trigger pull.
    2
  1621. I like that auto drop slide.
    2
  1622. A reproduction l35 with a double stack magazine and red dot would be great.
    2
  1623. Watching master craftsman is a pleasure.
    2
  1624. Maybe the rifled with the A suffix serial number were built in the second production center because some Official with far more power than brains insisted on the wrong factory markings.
    2
  1625.  @andersjjensen  Longer rather than stronger spring then but a friction damper to slow the bolt back into battery will help as well. A muzzle brake would help as well.
    2
  1626. Ian doesn't push nonsense and conspiracies so it wouldn't fit in.
    2
  1627. USSR = Russian Empire
    2
  1628.  @allangibson8494  Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire were allies. Also there were plenty of German, Italian, and Japanese in the American military in WWII some even went back to their native lands after the black fascist were defeated. So Adolf immigrating to Germany and inlisting in their army is not a big surprise. If Austria had been an independent principality when Germany unified it almost certainly have been part of Germany but it was and is not.
    2
  1629.  @fletcherpotvin7707  Even assuming that you can't make a good holster for it with the 20 round magazine, which isn't true. You could carry it with 6+1 in the holster and spare 20 round magazines.
    2
  1630. While the circumstantial evidence is convincing it is possible he was researching the Holocaust and that quote opened his eye too Hitler actually being a socialist. Stranger things have happened but not often.
    2
  1631. The Nazis were of the right because they lost and generated a lot of bad press with their genocidal tendencies. You don't hear leftists talking about Pol Pot for the same reason.
    2
  1632. I have seen a study that showed that the most useful effect of the allied bombing was absorbing artillery ammunition.
    2
  1633. A tragedy but war is a horrible tragedy at best.
    2
  1634.  @logandance4644  Witch instead of which.
    2
  1635. The T-34's two man turret is bad but they didn't break down as much as Panthers and Tigers so it's a wash.
    2
  1636.  @sean640307  First impressions matter. Putting Fellers first created the impression that he was a spy and after the actual source of the information transfer was given the taint of the accusation remains; not unlike false accusations of rape ruining men's lives.
    2
  1637. And somehow the justification for creating these bureaucratic nightmares is always "efficiency".
    2
  1638. Woodrow Wilson is a slanderer, smearer, and proven liar.
    2
  1639. 14 years in preindustrial China means that slavery was not abolished in China before the ruler attempting it was disposed.
    2
  1640. I read that the greatest effect of allied strategic bombing was absorbing artillery fire that otherwise would have otherwise been used much more efficiently and greater effect on ground battlefields.
    2
  1641.  @Jayare175  Except when dealing with people that clearly won't have mammal infant food when you say milk you get milk in the USofA if you want other than cow milk you have to specify which animal. If you want a plant based milk substitute you have to specify. If you go into a Hindu Market and ask for milk the one thing you are not going to get is cow milk.
    2
  1642. So a con job for the weak-minded.
    2
  1643.  @guaporeturns9472  The steam engine on the K-class was the one part of the boat that worked well. Its dive control was unreliable, its bow could be at crush depth while its stern was still on the surface, and that great mutant bow was a retrofit to solve the problem of the bow digging into the water when running at speed on the surface and unitendedly taking the boat to crush depth before the crew could react.
    2
  1644. Just a few improvements, an engine that works, a tail wheel from the start, the condenser/radiator into a lengthened aft fuselage, move the lower wing, cockpit, and engine forward it might have been a great fighter.
    2
  1645. Are we sure the goshawk was Rolls-Royce not Fiat or Renault?
    2
  1646. Clearly the aerodynamic was reasonably sound and the engine a failure. Too bad someone didn't have the balls to test with other engines while the goshawk "was perfected".
    2
  1647. Aside from the use as a heavy bomber the Ju-89 in mass production would have made the cargo/passenger variant cheaper which would have improved the German supply situation in the battle of Stalingrad.
    2
  1648. The XB-51 should have gone into production.

  1649.  @bob_the_bomb4508  Groan. Pecan sandies. Try them.

  1650.  @Farweasel  Kill an oppressor and take his gun and ammo.
    2
  1651.  @RaduB.  "I would have..." That means before getting addition information other than looks. So before watching the video. The designers and engineers did a real good job of making a first rate fighter with a second rate tech base.
    2
  1652. Hispanic male Jason S. Miyares the Republican elected to be Virginia's Attorney General. Black female Winsome Sears the Republican elected to be Virginia's Lieutenant Governor. This of course is proof of Republican Party's racism.

    1
  1683.  @diantecastine7235  Some people have forfeited their rights by committing horrible crimes this does not invalidate the premise that limiting the law-abiding's access to any weapon is an infringement and thus unconstitutional. Besides guns and ammunition are too easy to make to keep them out of the hands of criminals. (people defined by their refusal to obey the law.)

  1684.  @rtorres4132  You posts disagree with your claim about not being a democrat.

  1712.  @RAINRDY  If Neely had been in prison where his arrest record demonstrates he should have been this would not have happened.

  1740.  @jonasmlgaard-asmussen9844  Having the documents found in Trumps possession and will secured unlike the documents Biden stole demonstrated that Trump declassified them. The Presidential Documents Act allows the former President the time he needs to go through the documents which includes taking notes. When the former President is done with the documents he is to hand them over to the National Archive. The case against Trump is just part of the witch hunt against Trump because he is not beholden to the donor and government service class.
    1
  1741. By the act of putting the documents on the list of things to be taken with him when he left office President Trump declasified the documents as is the Presidents right to do. Nor does he have to follow the protocols set up to protect those that receive formerly classified documents from malicious prosecution.

  1833.  @andrezcabara2774  The FBI has demonstrated that they are a tool of the democrat party by using accusations they knew to be false to try and prevent him from being President. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that the Dropbox is used in the 2020 election for unconstitutional. Some of the elections clearly were fraudulent. Trump spent a life generating new wealth providing jobs to construction workers and janitors. Which is a much better qualification to be President than mastering the skills of a swamp creature.

  1860. The assault weapons ban had no measurable effect on crime. That is why it didn't get extended. Semi-auto means on shot per trigger pull. Something you could do with a 1858 Starr double action revolver. Assault rifles fire low power intermediate cartridges making them less deadly. The Winchester Model 1894 fires a more powerful cartridge. A so called "assault rifle" is better for home defense than a pistol because it requires less skill to use effectively.

And nobody is talking about banning removing Ectopic pregnancies before they harm the mother but their are so few that we don't need specific infrastructure to support them. Under Roe v Wade you could inject poison into the soft spot when the baby crowns during birth and it was legal. In some states some of the pro abortion legislators wanted to call killing a baby a week after birth an abortion. Does "22 weeks 6 days" mean anything to you. If an Australia wants to talk about American Abortion law it should. Also all overturning Roe v Wade does put abortion in the hands of the stated like in Austrillia.

  2488.  @johnwoodrow8769  Ammonia is made from hydrogen and nitrogen the hydrogen is generated from natural gas producing C02 and then there is the energy involved in getting the hydrogen and nitrogen to combine into ammonia. The hydrogen can be produced by electrolysis of water and the additional energy input can come from nuclear generated electricity as well. Steel can be produced in electric furnaces as well as the hydrating lime for concrete; the decomposing limestone will still be producing C02 but this is a better source for C02 than harvesting it from the atmosphere for synthesizing hydrocarbon aviation fuel. The real problem with it is that after all the money is spent building and fueling the nuclear powered infrastructure it won't effect global warming because C02 does not control climate.

  2489.  @johnwoodrow8769  The volumes required just means it has to be built and 30 years is a long time. Of course the SJWs would have to start doing useful work to get it done. The real problem with it is it is completely unnecessary as carbon dioxide does not drive climate.
    1
  2490.  @johnwoodrow8769  All electrical consumption , all Australia flagged ships, plus generate enough additional energy to generate motor fuels from water and air. Ammonia is probably best ground and water transport when balancing energy input, energy density, backwards compatiblity, and toxicity. For aviation you need the greater energy density of hydrocarbons but that is going to take a lot more energy input to gather the C02 from the atmosphere. It is technically doable and would cost far less than wind and solar but the expense would still be crippling.

  2531.  Stanley Goddard  I am quite comfortable with science and after applying a little scientific method to the claims of man caused global warming it quickly became apparent that the evidence supports the theory that human released C02 is not the cause of the observed global warming. Little things like no two of the dozens of AGW climate models match with each other and not even one matches what actually happened. Mars has proportionally identical warming to earth disprove that the actions of man is responsible for the warming. Then there is the question even if the predicted warming is real there is no reason to believe that the results would be a net bad; take for instant the vast swathes of fertile land near the arctic circle add warm weather to the long days and crop yield would be extremely high. over the last couple of decades the earth has noticeably greened including the deserts. The higher the C02 content of the atmosphere the less water plants need.

  2617.  The sound of, do you hear it? Git Gud  I never said climate change is a lie. I said catastrophic climate change is a lie. C02 does not have the energy available to it to cause the warming that the alarmists predict 90% of all the energy that C02 can capture is captured by the first 200ppm. If we were to double the concentration of C02 it would not double the amount of heat captured. C02 levels use to be much higher and the global temperature was only slightly higher but plant life was thriving. The climate is more complex than you realize. Mars had proportionally identical warming over the last 40 years. In a rational world that alone would have debunked the theory of C02 cause global warming.
    1
  2618.  The sound of, do you hear it? Git Gud  Physics is not a lie. Catastrophic global warming or as they started calling it climate change is. The climate changes constantly and as the Greenlandic glaciers retreat the remains of houses and farms are still being revealed. Science is a process and people with letters after their name can still be liars and frauds.

  2619.  The sound of, do you hear it? Git Gud  You really need to get your information form sources that are not pushing the lie. When the medieval warm period ended and the little ice hit is also the time when there was mass burning of witches. The charge was weather cooking when storms like had not been seen in centuries blew across Europe. The actual effect of raising C02 levels is in places where the limit on plant growth is lack of water more plants are growing because the higher concentrations of C02 cause plants to lose less water when taking in C02. When they claim that weather conditions haven't happened like that before, they are wrong. Droughts, floods, and devastating storms are nothing new but they sure act like it is on the news. Back in the 1970 they were predicting the coming Ice Age and the solution was the same as for global warming; destroy the First World's economy.

  2648.  @oldman2800  I have. If you were desperate enough you could harvest weapons grade uranium from them and build bombs but the uranium looks to be worse to handle than plutonium but if the need truly arose I have no doubt there would be volunteers to do it. It is not that thorium is not theoretically superior but that a time comes when good enough is truly good enough. If we were to use a generation of nuclear reactors to power the economy and industry to build an orbital ring and space based solar we could throw the nuclear waste off the edge of the world when we were done with the reactors.
    1
  2649.  @SpectreOZ  Thorium fueled reactors are nuclear reactors. At least in Australia's case nuclear weapons are a red herring. Even if Australia produced some nuclear weapons they would be used for anything but keeping others from using theirs. The next generation of reactors built will be wornout before we run out of uranium without using fast breeder reactors too extend the life of the fuel. Chernobyl was caused by several layers of gross stupidity caused by a socialist government. Fukushima and Three Mile Island while having different causes for the loss of coolant flow it was the loss of coolant flow that caused the meltdowns. If you put the heat exchangers just a few meters above the reactor cores the heat driven convection current will keep the coolant flowing as long as the pipes aren't blocked and the is coolant in them. Thorium reactors really are not safer than any new built reactors in the First World because after a certain point all you are doing is guilding a lilly. I mean if you get rear-ended by a VW Beetle it doesn't matter if you are in a Sherman tank or a Leopard 2 you are not going to be harmed. I am not opposed to Thorium reactors I just don't see the need. Edit I finished the last sentence.

The rate of deaths from Wuhan Flu is not going up and everyone that has had a normal immune response is to Wuhan Flu is not going to get it again with a confidence of 99.9999997%. Only four people would wide have been diagnosed as having contracted COVID 19 twice. One of which did not get a COVID specific antibody response the first time. Which raises the question of if the first diagnosis was a false positive. The more people that get Wuhan Flu without dying the closer to herd immunity we are. The continuing panic is just stupid.

  2713. Whenever somebody says advocates for "social justice" you know that they are planning to inflict real injustice on people. Democracy is dependent on being able to trust the vote count. With the irregularities in the counting such as when the republican observers were not allowed to be close enough to read the ballots means that the count can not be trusted. Rule of Law means that only the people that the constitution states can make and modify the election rules are the only ones that make and modify election rules. In the USofA that means only the state legislatures can. Judges and Secretaries of State can not but in at least some of the states with disputed outcomes judges or the state Secretary of State did modify the rules. President Trump is using the means of disputing questionable election outcomes that the law of the land spells out. Those that are insisting that President Trump accept the questionable outcomes without a fight are the ones violating rule of law. Nobody is president elect of the USofA until the election is over which it is not until the Electoral College votes and gives one candidate at least 270 votes. Failing that the the Constitution requires a done in the federal House of Representatives. Assuming that Biden wins he still has no say in how the country is run until he takes office on January 20, 2021. Giving a man that sold access to foreign governments and criminals using his son as the middleman information about what the current government is doing before it is known that he will be the next President would be stupid.

  2733. In the USofA voting is not mandatory so if they poll registered voters you can count on 30% of the respondents to not actually vote. It is obvious that the idiot Biden has gone senile.

  2798.  @andrewtaylor940  I forgot to mention it directly again the reason for needing so many bombers was to cover the whole area that the ship could move in. Bombs and fuel are cheap compared to planes and aircrews. And the advantage of the high altitude bombing was the very low loss rate of planes and men. The biggest benefit for the allies of the strategic bombing of Germany was how many German artillery shots it absorbed. 7 out of every 10 artillery shell German produced in WWII was shot into the air for very little gain.
    1
  2799.  @andrewtaylor940  The high altitude bombing is far less dangerous to the bomber crews and planes. As I said it takes a lot of gas and bombs. But if the Army Air Force had the planes in 42 and 43 it would have been cost effective to use the hundreds of bombers to take out one carrier or battleship. There was nothing wrong with the doctrine except they didn't have the planes to use it at the time it cost effective to do so. Personally I think early in war the Army Air Force should have used the heavy bombers to drop torpedoes but that does not make the doctrine stupid.
    1
  2800.  @andrewtaylor940  Not at the beginning of the war. Besides when they had enough B-24 bombers available do you send all of them after one ship at sea or choose to send them after more valuable targets since the Navy has figured out sinking Japanese ships. The Army Air Force doctrine called for saturating the entire area that the ship that they were attacking could be when the bombs hit no matter how they maneuvered. By the time that the Army Air Force had the planes the Japanese Navy was not enough of a threat to justify sending that amount of force after one ship when other targets were available.
    1
  2801.  @RedXlV  The Navy had the intelligence to provide the B-17s targets but refused to prove it to the Army, the Army Air Force was working up Targets for the B-17s with inadequate intelligence while asking questions about the morality and legality of bombing Japanese forces from bases in a country that had not yet been attacked by Japan and possibly bringing a country that might have been able to maintain neutrality into the war against their will. Information about this did not reach MacArthur. Japan had not attack for the same reason that the B-17 did not have targets. Bad weather over the places that the B-17s would have targeted. You are blaming MacArthur beyond his control. Are you going to blame him for eventually withdrawing from the Philippines as ordered.
    1
  2802.  @RedXlV  MacArthur's preperations for the defence of the Philippines were incomplete and not scheduled to be completed until several months into 1942 and reported as such. Pearl Harbor was reported as being fully secured well before the attack on December 7 1941. The Navy was not sharing intelligence about Japanese preperations for the attack on the Philippines including overhead photos of the invasion force in port. Nor has the Army high command forwarded General Chennault's 100% accurate reports of the capabilities of the Japanese Air Forces' Army and Navy including the range and maneuvering capabilities of the Mitsubishi Zero. Calling General MacArthur dugout Doug is a blatant slander but it does match the accuracy of the rest of your opinion of the man.
    1
  2803.  @andrewtaylor940  The Army Air Force never had enough B-17 bombers in the Pacific theaters to carry out a single anti-ship strike according to doctrine. The formation was supposed to be large enough to cover any possible defensive maneuvers made by the ships. The idea was that taking out the enemy ships with an aluminium overcast would consume lots of gas and bombs but very few planes and airmen would be lost. By the time the Army Air Forces had the planes to carry out their doctrine the enemies didn't have the ships left to use it against without generating the Navy's wrath and the ground targets were more important.

  2833.  @razorburn645  The straw man argument. First slow oilers were as fast as the average cargo ship of the day. And second the fleet oilers make going around Africa with a battlefleet practical. The USofA 5inch38 duel purpose gun would come as a very nasty surprise to the German and Italian Air Forces. Wanting to move cargo through the Mediterranean we would put a big Air Force in Egypt and the USofA Army would start getting serious battle experience in Libya before launching a major amphibious assault.

The airships wouldn't be easy targets. It took the Japanese time to figure out the Allies had radar. How much more damage would have been done to the Japanese carrier force and pilot corps if the American carriers had a 45 minute warning of every attack. How many lost airships is that worth?

  2851.  @Fulcrum205  The Nazis built a very dysfunctional system which is to be expected from socialist. But the fighters waiting for the allied escort fighters to turn back were not low on fuel. If the Graf Zeppelin went out commerce raiding she would lose not because of the quality of her air group but because the allies would have sent overwhelming force. That would include diverting Lancasters and liberators from bombing Germany which would demonstrate that American high altitude antiship doctrine works when properly applied.

  2853.  @Fulcrum205  Germany apparently only wanted carriers because the cool kids all had them but even so the Germans are not stupid. Reinforced landing gear and extended wings why not extended range. According to the numbers the American carrier air wings should have been useless against the Japanese in 1942 but somehow they held their own. The USofA Navy had carriers with eight inch guns and they didn't have to run a gauntlet of hostile channels to simply get to their operating area. The Germans wouldn't have had the best air wing but they would not have been a harmless embarrassment either. The mindless hatred of the Nazis is really out of hand.
    1
  2854.  @keefymckeefface8330  There is other places where fuel can be added as well. I have seen landing gear pants with a fuel tank added that improved the aerodynamics. Also in attacking ships a single large bomb is optimal so you could change fuel tanks on the wing hardpoints.

  2856.  @keefymckeefface8330  Everyone had overly complicated unworkable engines in development at the end of WWII. There is space in the wings where additional fuel tanks could be installed. The best would involve moving the spherical oxygen bottles but there is space elsewhere in the plane for them. There is plenty of reasons to hate the Nazis you don't need to make shit up to hate on.

  2857.  @keefymckeefface8330  The navalized 109 had improved landing gear and the gear problems of the 109 are overstated from the start.

  2858.  @keefymckeefface8330  So you are saying the engineers modifying the Stuka for naval operations are incompetent. Yes when replacing the engine if the mounts are different you may have to modify the frame and cowling. The Fw190 fought with both radial and inline engines. The P-36 and P-40 used the same airframe but somehow reengining the Stuka is impossibly difficult. F4F Wildcats had wingtanks added after leaving the factory.

  2859.  @keefymckeefface8330  More powerfull engine and larger fuel tanks works well. So give it the same engine as the navalized 109 and get greater range and reduced spare parts load.

Of course if the HSF is obliterated when hit by the GF in the English Channel the GF can then go and take control of the Baltic but that doesn't mean that the Germans would want to leave the Baltic open for the GF to enter when they are not home.

(Electrical generation and condenser fan) If you are trying to get maximum efficiency out of the steam plant electrically heating the steam generator air feed is not unreasonable if you have the electricity. (It is easier than heating the water directly.)

They still would have lost. Japan should have asked why America was welling to sell so much scrap iron rather that reuse it ourselves.

  2910.  @lllordllloyd  The Japanese Navy wanted their pilots to be a super elite force and designed the pilot training program to produce a trickle of superior pilots which included washing out pilots for eating at establishments that served alcohol even if they only drank tea. The instructors that did this thinking it was the right and proper way to train pilots could not get their heads around mass production of competent pilots. It is not unlike the ordinance officers that thought that repeating rifles would encourage troops to waste ammunition.

  2926.  @bengrogan9710  Consider how far cannonball fired at mach 5 will go and how much energy it will retain when it gets there. The USofA Navy's 4 inch 50 guns used as submarine deck guns in WWII had much longer range than the similar sized projectiles of the 105mm howitzers that the army generally considered heavy artillery by comparing it to 75mm pack howitzers. Smaller higher velocity projectiles will go farther than heavier slower projectiles fired at the same angle above the horizon.

  2927.  @bengrogan9710  It was suppose to be 4.5 which is 114.3 (brain fart) but long guns 70caliber or so like modern tank guns with the high power turret to match would have been great.

Planning on having replacement for the three 12inch turrets that had at least 4 twin 5inch 38 turrets in two rows the second super firing over the first allowing all eight guns to fire in the same direction anywhere in the same arc of fire as the 12inch turret they replace at the same time allowing them to split to fire at targets on both sides of the ship. That would have made them air defense ships worth the cost.

  2941. In the USofA Civil War this happened. Wilmer McLean (May 3, 1814 – June 5, 1882) was an American wholesale grocer from Virginia. His house, near Manassas, Virginia, was involved in the First Battle of Bull Run in 1861. After the battle, he moved to Appomattox, Virginia to escape the war, thinking that it would be safe. Instead, in 1865, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant in McLean's house in Appomattox. His houses were, therefore, involved in one of the first and one of the last encounters of the American Civil War. Q. I have a plan. What's that sound? A. God giggling.

  2943. Despite the lower casement mounts, they did what they were designed to do rather well. Not every ship can say that.

Unfortunately a good grasp of the obvious isn't universal.

Unless the ship is dangerously top heavy more point defence does not hurt. Battleships also have been known to carry fuel for their escorts, so why not? If you have a better use for the space and weight I'm all for it but new boilers is not it.

  3003.  @strongbrew9116  Monty's fast decisive move sealing the breach when Belgium surrendered was not because he was good at fluid battle. Monty had trained the hell out of his troops including in doing unusual things and had preplanned operations for yanking his forces out of the line moving between the units next to his and its artillery support and plugging his force into a breach. Monty was one of the top ten generals of WWII but his strength was in planning and training not the fluid battle. If fluid battle had been one of his strengths the Africa Korps would have been crushed at the Second Battle of El Alamein. When he didn't have pre-existing plans he wasn't that great but when he had planned and prepared for a battle he made it look so easy that fools insist that anyone could have won the battle but if anyone took his plans and prepared force and didn't change them right before the battle they would have won because of Monty's brilliance.

A standard Sherman could engage five targets in the time a Firefly could engage three and there were dammed few Tigers around. Firefly was the wrong tank at the right place. The right tank at Normandy would have been Sherman's with the 76mm gun but they were left in the UK because 75mm Sherman's were killing Tigers in Italy but how much work it was to do so was not successfully communicated.

  3012.  Hoa Tattis  The Germans retreated and the British followed more than chased them losing several chances to decimate the Africa Core in the pursuit. The Battle of Kasserine Pass was most emphatically not planned by Monty and a symptom of the USofA Army fighting its first battle of WWII against a battle hardened enemy. Until after Korea the US Army usually lost the first battle of the war.
    1
  3013.  Hoa Tattis  That does not alter the fact that while Monty was the better planner Patton was better making quick decisions in the heat of battle. Monty's lighting fast plunging the hole in the line when Belgium surrendered without informing its allies in advance was planned months in advance because Monty was above all a planner. But as demonstrated at the Second Battle of El Alamein Monty's plans went of like clockwork but the offensive fell apart when the plan ran out. Patton was aggressive to a fault but excelled at fighting without preexisting battle plans where Monty did not.

The improvements in wages and working conditions that unions claim credit for were simply the labor market in action. When farm laborers were being thrown out of work faster than industry was creating jobs labor was a glut on the market and wages were low but when industry started producing more jobs than their were workers wages and went up and other improvements took place. All the while union leaders were taking money from the workers by taking credit for things they did not do. They did get lots of people injured and killed. But that didn't hurt the union leders any.

  3041.  @johnathanh2660  I have seen plenty of nonsense published in allegedly nonfiction books. Like claims that the Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a copy of a Howard Hughes design, that Admiral King was completely was incompetent because of the one serious mistake in his long Naval Career, and that Admiral Bull Halsey wasn't relieved after typhoon cobra because there was no one available to replace him. It comes as no surprise that despite other sources stating that the Army wanted to add chrome linings to barrels of the M-16 without specific need other than to increase service life after the trials. The new powder gave the same muzzle velocity but had a different pressure curve that included significantly higher pressure when the gas was vented to drive the action which opened the bolt significantly faster than designed for which beat the crap out of the guns but was not noticed as a problem till well after the jamming from increased powder residue was solved by the hasty issuing of cleaning kits. The "Army lore" that the M-16 would jam if you looked at it wrong was useful in getting draftees to clean them regularly in the field so there was no way that the NCOs were going to quash the rummors. "Strange" McNamara refused the chrome lining so it became the perfect scapegoat for all of the M-16's problems.

To be fair I came up with three ways to neutralize the offending satellites that would be faster than building or refurbishing battleships and at least 2 of which would be cheaper. Balloon lofted bomb pumped X-ray lasers, massive phase array visible light lasers (everybody in a time zone with a laserpointer illuminating a single target at once.), and intentionally triggering a Kessel syndrome.

  3095.  @gregorywright4918  It would not be more than one the Oklahoma only had two shafts. And how about losing one Clemson class destroyer for the rebuilt Oklahoma? Although in hindsight the individual effort that went into resurrecting the sunk battleships could have been better spent except for possibly the civilian morale effect of returning them to service.
    1
  3096.  @detritus23  Look at the power output of a Fletcher's engines compared to the Oklahoma's. Yes the North Carolina had a big problem with vibrations from its hull form and screws. She also had 121,000 shp horse power spread over four shafts a Fletcher class had 60,000 shp spread over two shafts. Nevada had 26,500 shp and for some reason Oklahoma is listed as 24,800 ihp. A single turbine off a Fletcher could power both of Oklahoma's screws. Your sense of scale is more than a little off. Given that the treatment for North Carolina's vibration problem was changing the number of blades on the screws to two different numbers I am willing to bet that it would not be catastrophic problem if it occurred.
    1
  3097.  @detritus23  Think about all the ships being built during WWII. Fletcher class destroyers had a lot more power then the Oklahoma. Finding a source for two turbines that were already in production would not have been a problem finding small enough ones might have been but... The Clemson class destroyer's engines were just a bit more powerful than the Oklahoma's. Do you think that the Navy might of had spare turbines for the Clemson class destroyer. 0r failing that been willing to sacrifice one to give turbines to the Oklahoma. If you are going for more power than the existing shafts can handle you could take shafts in production for another ship that are close to the correct length and modify to suit. Using the bearings and seals. I once used the rear axle of a F-100 truck to take the power through the hull of a boat with an inboard straight 6. It worked for years till the engine threw a rod and the boat burned to the waterline and then sank when the rescue boat flooded it. It does not take a degreed engineer or architect to solve every problem.
    1
  3098.  @detritus23  Given the deep refit required replacing the boilers is a given whether the engines were replaced or not. Turbines don't require higher pressure than triple expansion reciprocating engines. Why would the turbines be more powerful than the existing shafts could take. If they chose to add power why would it take so much time to design the replacements when you would be using off the shelf components? Have you seen prewar and post resurrection photos of the salvaged battleships?

  3099.  @detritus23  Why would it take several years to aline a geared turbine to the propeller shaft?

  3100. It has occurred to me that towing a submerged submarine behind other ships leaving port would provide safety and stealth for the submarine. A towed submerged submarine could make a good escort against surface raiders. Starting with fully charged batteries and given a situation report from a surface lookout it should be useful.

  3147. Many years ago after reading a book on antitank guns that explained that Germany withdrew taper bored guns from service because of a severe shortage of tungsten I heard that the Germany navy used carbon filament lightbulbs in U-boat's in WWII. Given the greater efficiency of tungsten filament bulbs and the fact that the metal is fully recoverable from burned out bulbs I can't stop wondering if it was true and have not been able to find a reliable source to say one way or the other.

Remember that even if the plane manages to outrun out distance the missile it gives the boat a fare amount of time to escape as well.

  3200.  @WALTERBROADDUS  The pilots of the AVG were all American military pilots recruited from active service personal but if the USofA Navy was in the midst of a crash expansion of its air groups the Navy would have been very hostile to the idea of even temporarily losing experienced pilots to the AVG. In the real timeline having a few pilots go to China and gain combat experience against the Japanese was unquestionably a good idea but in an alternate timeline where the Navy is expanding that rapidly it is difficult to see the wisdom of doing so. The Navy with certain exceptions would also be open to the idea of getting the British Empire to train and provide combat experience to future USofA Navy pilots. This would aside from providing for a group of trained pilots that the USofA Navy did not have to train for themselves but provide the current combat experience that not sending pilots to the AVG would have lost.

Civilian IPs can turn sailors into pilots just as fast as Navy IPs can and in peace time pulling all the air squadron's executive officers and and also 1 or 2 senior flying NCOs or warrant officer pilots from each operational squadron for commissioning will allow you to work up the new air groups by the time the new carriers are commissioned. If you managed to keep Admiral King out of the decision you might also send some pilots to gain experience in the British services as well instead of just pardoning Americans that got into the fight against fascism early to bring them home to share their hard won expertise. The AVG probably would not have been allowed to recruit from the pool of Navy pilots under such circumstances though.

  3203.  @Pentagon6519  How much electricity do you think is available in the average hospital room? But still adding wiring and oxygen piping is not difficult if you are not worried about hiding the conduits. Hospital ships are not going to have fire control radar. And adding a pallet of electronics is not difficult. Absorbing a hard landing is a question of how much weight the structure can support and you can reduce the needed strength by adding shock absorption. I too would prefer to have the hospital ship tied to a pier but in a sheltered anchorage using boats is not a problem particularly if you pull the boat out of the water before loading or unloading passengers. Bum boats move significant amount of goods on and off ships in open waters. Granted if the engine has to be replaced it is a major operation but if not the spare parts might not be Navy standard but they are off the shelf components world wide. I was saying that your idea is not feasible.

  3205.  @Pentagon6519  Hurricanes and tsunamis don't reshape the terrain enough to destroy naturally protected anchorages. A hospital ship is a floating hospital and most of a large modern hospital it small rooms with private restrooms just like most of the space in a cruise ship. Any place a USofA Navy hospital ship goes it will not be operating on its own but by removing the pool you will get plenty of topside weight to play with to build a hanger for several helicopters. Neither a hospital ship or cruise ship have a lot of carrying capacity for inanimate cargo and for the hospital I want it carrying supplies so it can stay on station with little external support; not because it will be operating on its own but so the logistical support pipeline can carry other goods.

  3206.  @Pentagon6519  Many cruise ships already have a helicopter landing pad for evacuating medical emergencies; it can work the other way. I would want to add to it to be able to recover multiple helicopters at once. For disaster relief you can expect protected anchorages which greatly reduced the advantage of having the well deck even if dock space is not available. The speed would be nice to have but not worth the difference in cost.

  3217. Turrets like the USS Monitor had were brilliant in concept (armored and only aiming the guns not the entire ship) but they are fairly terrible in design. Armored barbettes are based an a much better rotating platform but the armor on them was introduced after the rotating platform had been proven to be enough better than the rotating mechanism of the turret to make the exposed guns more effective than the turret protected guns. Then the blindingly obvious notion that the Barbette could carry armor as well was thought up making "Armored Barbette" just a turret of a much better design.

  3257.  @keefymckeefface8330  And if the increase in likelihood of survival goes up a half of one percent from the increase in effectiveness in gunnery but goes down by a quarter of one percent because of the increase in risk of spontaneous magazine detonation? I am perfectly willing to accept that keeping all the powder hot all the time is a bad idea but given the number of ships with midship turrets that didn't spontaneously blow up the additional risk of heating the magazines for combat is not even close to what you think it is.

  3258.  @keefymckeefface8330  There is a thing as being to risk-averse. Exactly what is the additional risk of raising the the magazines of the other turrets to the temperature accepted as safe in Q-turret's magazine? What is the speed difference in running cooling systems for Q-turret comparred to heating the other turrets? How much does it cost having both systems installed and only heating the other turrets when you are running at maximum speed while in contested waters? How much does having the guns of central turrets increasing the chances of getting hits with each salvo decrease the risk to the ship? Can you quantify any of these veritable? If not it is pretty damned stupid to categorically call any solution having too high of a risk.
    1
  3259.  @keefymckeefface8330  And I am saying that the risk of the faster decay in time of war is less than the danger of having a turret firing into a different area code from the other guns.
    1
  3260.  @keefymckeefface8330  So you are saying that it is significantly more risky to keep all the powder at the same temperature as the central turret. In which case it is intolerable keep powder in the central turret. However you would only keep the powder warm during time of war.

Do you think that natives were too stupid to be sailors as well? The Royal Charles would have presented pirates with an out of context problem as well as keeping the British merchantmen polite. But then my solution to the problem of the Netherlands being a small nation is to assimilate the colonials into being Dutch people.

  3293.  @stevevalley7835  By 44 but what about 42? Use the long range bombers to take out the escorts to clear the path for the carrier planes. And then there was the development of acoustically homing torpedoes and their range could be increased the risk of type 95 derivatives are less with land based bombers. Then using a parachute to slow the torpedoes down before they hit the water would increase the drop speed. As for rockets you could train monkeys or apes to fly Baka bombs but I would feel guilty about the inability to give them their last treat of cocaine for hitting their target.

The two long steel bandaids riveted to the ship to reinforce the structure where the cracking took place solved the problem and of course being riveted in the crack couldn't propagate into the bandaids.

The EPA has repeatedly gathered the information from researchers, and industry and came up with standard compatible with both human / environmental health and profitable operation and the when making the regulation reduced the allowed pollution to levels that can not be met and the company remain profitable so American jobs are lost and the production moves to countries without any environmental regulation resulting in worse pollution.

  3349.  @george2113  No I didn't. I pointed out that you need to be armed with the weapon that meets your needs of the time whether it is long range accuracy or a high rate of fire. Larger caliber rifles would have been better with a choice between standard ball and sub caliber ball. Shoot like a rifle at long range and a smothbore at short. A lot of the rebels were armed with British smooth bore muskets.
    1
  3350.  @george2113  You missed the point. Sniping with a smooth bore musket is even stupider that hammering bullets down a rifled barrel in short ranged volley battles. The point is use a weapon appropriate to the battle you are fighting.
    1
  3351. A thin board and several hundred feet 550 cord would give that thing a perfectly fine stock. A suppressor would have been a better muzzle device for that weapon.
    1
  3352.  @davidabest7195  It is the mix the Germans learned to use in the Russian winter and the Swiss used on their lugers in winter well into the 1980s. Kerosene removes thicker oils well because it mixes with them easily thinning the so the thick dried oils come off easily but the ratio is very much the other way when cleaning where the 1/4 mix just thins the gun oil so it doesn't gum up the works in severe cold but in reasonable temperatures the mix does not provide enough lubrication.
    1
  3353. The solution to severely cold weather reliability in lugers is to dilute the gun oil so that it is 1/4 kerosene.

That delay control system makes me wonder if the Italian Army had plans for hot load anti-aircraft ammunition and maybe even a light bullet ammunition so that cavalry or mountain troops could carry more rounds for the same weight.

    1
  3360.  @MarvinCZ  The GiGN clearly made their decision and they have a history of choosing things that the gun community find odd. But arguments that the logistics of 9x39mm are significantly worse are just silly. The politics of choosing a Russian cartridge is much more believable reason.
    1
  3361.  @MarvinCZ  I am pretty sure that at the time at least Russia would have sold them the guns and ammunition but they could have easily bought 7.62x39mm brass that hadn't been necked down yet. The bullets are a little harder but not that much harder given how easy it is to cast bullets. Buying all the ammunition at once simply is one way to solve the supply issue and get the best suppressed weapon available at the time.
    1
  3362.  @MarvinCZ  If you are buying any consumables from a source that might decide to stop selling to you and you have better than a room temperature IQ you plan for being cut off. Whether it is buying a lifetime supply or finding alternative suppliers. I gave that as one way of guaranteeing ammunition supply but I also mentioned others. But since GIGN is such a small organization a lifetime supply of ammunition is a relatively small amount; something a government purchasing agent might order by accident. Given the standard level of government competence the Russians could reasonably hope most of the ammunition would be stuck in a warehouse and forgotten about.
    1
  3363.  @MarvinCZ  For the same reason that Switzerland bottle lifetime Supply spare parts for their new fighter jets when they bought them so that their supplies could not be cut off when they needed them something they learned in World War 2 when trying to get spare parts for their Messerschmitt Bf-109 fighters.
    1
  3364.  @MarvinCZ  Government is not known for being cost effective. But given that France pi**ed away their small arms industry they could easily contract with HK, FN, or a variety of American or other manufacturers for guns. Virtually anybody capable of producing 7.62x39mm is capable of producing 9x39mm. Oh the horror of using brass ammunition from a First World manufacturer. For the number of guns the GIGN need they could have easily bought the guns and 30 years worth of ammunition from Russia. 9x39mm is superior enough to be worth the cost and their still are a few rifle manufacturers in France. Rechambering rifles of about .30 and cutting them down to suppressed carbines would not be particularly difficult. Then there are the AR-15/AR-10 variants chambered to 7.62x39mm. Of course sometimes I have trouble finding the box people want me to think in.

  3408. The eldest son of my mom's best friend was in the army in the late 70s and early 80s and led a machine gun squad. He loved the hell out of the M-60. A butter bar with delusions of adequacy ordered M-16s only for a hike through a somewhat hostile jungle. He chose to ignore the "silly suggestion" (his words) and loaded up with his Hog and four bandoliers of ammunition. After butter bar was forced to concede the point he told the rest of the squad that they didn't have to carry M-60 ammunition, not only did they carry their normal loads but other men in the platoon carried a bandolier or two because they wanted the firepower to last if they needed it.

  3414. Funny how despite Japan and Italy deciding that their lighter less powerful 6.5mm cartridges needed to be replaced with a full power 7.62mm or so because of the 6.5 being insufficiently lethal and then after WWII everyone decided that low power rifles were great. I'll take an AK platform in 7.62 NATO and accept the suboptimal full auto performance. Besides suppressive fire is not dependent on accuracy and you can get the accuracy by transferring weight from your load bearing harness to the rifle with very little penalty; particularly if the load easily goes back and forth.

    1
  3439.  @0neDoomedSpaceMarine  The patent was not for loading from the rear but for drilling full diameter holes clear through the cylinder; the chamber for a bottle neck cartridge does not follow that geometry and given the other things tried to get around the patent I don't see that as a reason not to try it.

  3440. I still don't understand why someone didn't come up with using bottleneck cartridge.

  3441.  @nmarbletoe8210  I think that there is more innovation from people trying to get around patent protection than from free use but having the patent run out is good economically because for the most part monopolies are bad. About 17 years is a good compromise between the two.

But 5.56 NATO is pretty slim and if you want more than 30 rounds and are willing to buy new guns to get it anyway. Having the magazine stick out the side or top works as well as long belts.

  3463. All things considered the UK did not have home grown steel to export either and were continuing the salvaging of Graf Spee mostly to keep the intelligence operation secret not that the money hurt. The structural material is far better for making guns than the armor and the armor was of greater value to British shipbuilding. So steel from the Graf Spee but not the armor.

  3470. @ jake hansen If the target is coming towards you withing maximum point blank range you do not need to lead the target. Using an 1898 Mouser 8mm carbine I never had to take my eyes of the target to work the action so what is your problem?
    1
  3471. @ jake hansen You don't need an autoloading rifle to lead your target. Short stroking a bolt action is the result of bad training. Wars are rarely fought in clean rooms.
    1
  3472. I prefer switching magazines to feeding a rifle with stripper clips and freely admit that you will spend less time per shot fired reloading with the external magazines but a semi automatic rifle does not magically improve your marksmanship. Nor did you address other reasons you might not want to fire your rifle.
    1
  3473. @ jake hansen Changing magazines takes longer than working a bolt action. Semi auto rifles jam. and there might be something on the other side of the enemy soldiers that you really do not what to risk shooting; but spray away.
    1
  3474. No. That having a bayonet is still useful and since you should have one anyway it might as well do other jobs as well.
    1
  3475. A large good knife will always be useful to a soldier ideally it should do as many jobs well as possible including working as machete, hatchet, mine detector, and combat knife and if it firmly attaches to the end of a rifle so much the better.

  3484. What leads you to that extraordinary conclusion?
    1
  3485.  @lairdcummings9092  This is subsonic ammunition we're talking about. The ballistics are going to suck no matter how you go about it.
    1
  3486.  @Maxx2294-blyat  The rim of the overlong cartridge case gets inserted into the barrel by and additional forward movement of the cylinder before firing. I suggested the 357 mag cartridge because it is long enough for the recessed bullet loading of a 9mmish bullet in a readily available case.
    1
  3487.  @lairdcummings9092  The 357 Magnum brass is long enough that was a heavy bullet and powder charge for a subsonic round and still have the bullet fully encased in the cartridge for the gas seal like the 1895 Nagant has.
    1
  3488.  @Maxx2294-blyat  1895 Nagant has a gas seal that works and is therefore Silenceable.

  3568. It's not guns but the complicated double valve that caused a couple of 737s to crash to have the problem required two parts to be at the extreme limit of their design tolerances in the specific complementary way and the only failed if the valve was very cold and was fed very hot hydraulic fluid. Diagnosing the problem was much harder than fixing it. The valve has been entirely replaced with a different design that can't have that particular problem.

  3656. It would be nice if the military would still accept no factory prototypes with a licensing price for military production set in the bid request. Say the army chooses the factory and will pay the designer $5,000 plus $10 per gun produced. It would admittedly produce a lot of garbage but still.
    1
  3657. @ Stu Bur Like every squad has a sniper. With the small number of soldiers that are actually combat troops getting good marksmanship to a thousandth yards is not a problem; Snipers are getting kills at over a mile. The power of the 1000 yard range cartage also gives other useful abilities such as stopping cars quickly with engine shots rather than shooting the driver which will help with the propaganda war when the muslims send unarmed women and children to get killed by acting like a charging car bomb.
    1
  3658. @ Stu Bur Artillery is not real useful if the guy is positioned in a hospital or school and if there happens to be a high energy turbulence event between the fire-base and the target and the 2-3 minute wait between calling for support and round impact. @ Jack Attack About the same as from an UZI at 100m. Try hitting something man sized at 600m with a 5.56.
    1
  3659. @ Stu Bur Putting the enemy out of the fight is the purpose and the 5.56 NATO and 6.5x50 Arisaka nether do the job reliably without a head shot. Having inflicted the lethal wound on the brasstard before he killed you or your friend is a darn small consolation. 
    1
  3660. That is almost entirely different from what the book on the history of small arm that I read said. In WWII the Japanese army put a machine gun of Italian design as the hull MG; it used a caliber unique in the Japanese Army. This casts doubts on the idea that they decided on a new rifle for ammo commonality with the MGs. The M-60 MG served along side the M-16 for many years.
    1
  3661. @ Hui Jiang The 6.5mm Arisaka is under powered for the job just like the 5.56 NATO only Imperial Japan was smart enough to do something about after using it combat for a few years.
    1
  3662. @ fdsdh1 Yes some people will never be good shots but the ratio of support personal to shooters in a military is about 9-1 and in training you will identify the good shots from the poor even if you still use poor shots in combat roles they are not going to be all the shooters and you don't need all you shooters to be good a long range to have the advantage of large numbers of good marksmen. For most soldiers full auto is a bad idea the M-4 carbines fielded by the USofA military are limited to 3 round bursts. The AR-10 in full auto but with only 3 rounds in the magazine will fire them off in a quite controllable manner.  Given the overheating potential of air cooled machine guns limiting your light machine guns to 5-10 round bursts would not be a bad idea. Issuing weapons that work even if that includes having spare battery storage on them  is good for morale. Switching to dirty powder and not issuing cleaning kits was bad for morale. The same rifle that gives good long range accuracy also give good penetration at short range. This is useful whether you are trying to stop light vehicles or shoot at people through walls. The cartridges that were developed to reduce the need for copper by a country desperately short of copper in the middle of a war are in general a bad idea.
    1
  3663. @ fdsdh1 Revealing the location of you artillery by using it against a target easily removed by rifle fire increases risk so does taking the time to get a fire mission. Let's not forget that artillery is not always available. Are they suppose to interrupt giving support to an embattled battalion fighting to avoid being overrun to eliminate a enemy scout or artillery spotter? The cost of using real rifles is trivial compared to the advantages it provides. The AR10 demonstrates that weight is not an issue and if you want to use them in a fully automatic mode you can move weight carried elsewhere to the rifle by doing things like mounting the bayonet's scabbard on the rifle as well as carrying the bane of the modern soldier spare rechargeable batteries on the rifle rather than elsewhere on the soldier.
    1
  3664. @ fdsdh1 The money saved by not teaching basic marksmanship is lost the first time you call in an artillery strike to take out an uniform in the open at 600m. Marksmanship involves discipline (The single most important thing taught in boot camp) and a few simple skills that can be taught without expending ammunition and when the recruit is too tired to even listen to lectures. Simply aiming the rifle and squeezing the trigger without moving the sights from the aim point. The hard part in producing snipers is selecting people that can kill repeatedly without the heat of battle it is too much like murder for most soldiers. The single most important in selecting personnel for combat units is selecting people that can actually aim at the enemy and fire; most trained soldiers can't. It is easy to learn the long lessons. Most people got the Idea that armor is unsuitable to jungle combat because of the war in Vietnam. In truth Armored forces were the only units that could move through the jungle faster than the NVA and their wholly owned subsidiary the VC and never had a battalion overran despite the NVA/VC making repeated attempts at it. When armor pursued the NVA/VC and air assault set up blocking positions NVA/VC units by all reasonable definitions ceased to exist. Small numbers make for skewed statistics. The soviet union created a sniper core but did not field then in mass that would be stupid even by the standards of the USSR. they fielded them in small numbers spread out amongst the badly under armed infantry and other places that badly needed some riflemen. 
    1
  3665. @ fdsdh1 Training long range accuracy is not difficult nor is it particularly time consuming but it does equip the soldiers with the ability to force a change on their own senior command and government with a chance of personal survival; the monsters that sent ten and hundreds of thousands of young men charging massed machine guns turned out to be less cavalier about their own lives. Even if you accept that wartime 90 days from draft notice to being on the front lines is a viable training schedule it is not an excuse to not train a volunteer peacetime army into competent marksmanship. Before the Soviet Union introduced the 7.62x39 to increase the range of the SMG equipped infantry they formed a large sniper corp to keep the German riflemen's heads down so that the SMG equipped units could get in range to use their weapons. It is also why the Red Army defended cities beyond sanity because it gave the submachinegunners the cover needed to get in range even if it did concentrate them for mass slaughter by artillery. The US Marines were shooting at what was thought to beyond the range of their own rifles but the Marine Corp was financially rewarding those that exceeded minimum requirements. Incidentally the weapon that scared Japanese soldiers in WWII was blowpipes or maybe it was the headhunters using them.
    1
  3666. @ fdsdh1 The 6.5 Arisaka does demonstrate the foolishness of the intermediate round weather you wish to admit that the under powered round fits the category or not. If fits the category because not because of what it was designed for but because how it performs. The fact that you are arguing the point that when and what it was designed for invalidates the comparison proves that you can not argue the effectiveness of the under powered cartridge which is the point of the comparison. The US Marines demonstrated the advantage of long range rifle fire when they earned the name Devil Dogs in WWI by shooting a significant number of Germans that thought they were out of range.
    1
  3667. @ fdsdh1 Compared to the 12.7x99 (BMG) 7.62 NATO is tiny. That does not make 7.62 NATO a low power reduced power cartridge.  5.56×45mm NATO is a larger more powerful descendant of the parent 222 Remington despite being not powerful enough for the job a trait that it shares with the 6.5 Arisaka.
    1
  3668. @ fdsdh1 So does 5.56 NATO.
    1
  3669. @ fdsdh1 It is under powered for the job. The .223  (5.56 NATO) is a great up powered varmint round. 6.5x50 Arisaka didn't get designed as a down powered version of a more powerful round it fits into the niche nicely; it is under powered for the job. 
    1
  3670. The Japanese with their experience in China in the 1930s with an intermediate cartridge during WWII developed and fielded a rifle firing a the more powerful 7.7x58mm cartridge. Sure the intermediate cartridge is more comfortable to fire and you can carry more rounds it does not produce a DRT when some ill intending jackwad jumps out from behind a bush with a machete.

  3686.  @firstconsul7286  In the civil war they used a single rank and fired accurately hundreds of meters. Yes early poorly made powders also needed long barrels but that need was reduced long before musket length was.
    1
  3687.  @firstconsul7286  Where is the muzzle of the second and third rank muskets in comparison to the first rank's heads.

  3688.  @firstconsul7286  Experts disagree with you.
    1
  3689. That is so in a multi line firing formation the people in the back row can fire without risking blowing the head off the poor luckless bastard in the front row. This should also tell you how close the firing lines were to eachother.

  3703.  @JD-tn5lz  30 years of not doing something with friends while agreeing that it is a bad idea without trying it doesn't count as experience. I have been told you have to resize spent brass every time even if you only reload your own spent brass and that you can't reload primers with the same conviction and lack of evidence.

  3710. If for some bazaar reason it was the backup to your 1911 modifying your magazines would make sense.

  3711. A belt clip to stabilize the rifle when slung over the shoulder would be useful.

  3712. They would have saved more weight by taking another 8 inches (203mm) off the barrel and ditching the aluminium fittings.
    1
  3713. The Webley-Fosbery suffered from being neither fish nor fowl nor good red meat. Too complicated for a self respecting revolver and too traditional for the louts.

  3715. Pistols like that really add authority to your punch.

  3716. You have to spit on the action.

  3717. It has about the same total length as a long infantry musket with a bayonet.

  3726. Something needed to be done about the tools needed, and parts fitting in wrong but the design had some good points. It can't open the bolt when there is dangerous pressure in the chamber.
    1
  3727. Sadness, for what could have been.
    1
  3728. In all fairness the new machine gun ammunition would turn the rifle into a straight pull bolt action. Not the worst possible fail mode.
    1
  3729. If you are going to copy copy the best.

  3732. I fail to see what they hope to achieve by sporterizing a weapon how is it supposed to be improved? I always wanted a bayonet so I could stick the rifle into the ground and have it remain standing muzzle down without clogging the barrel.

  3740. I like leaving it fully loaded without fatiguing the magazine spring.

  3741. I really don't like having to cock and cycle the action separately but really like the earlier model.
    1
  3742. It suffered from not having enough advantage over a revolver.
    1
  3743. So deepening the rifling to get Blow by to reduce the recoil of your infantry rifles in machine gun caliber such as the M-14.
    1
  3744. Beistegui Hermanos were only interested in stealing borrowing Mauser's good name without befouling it.

  3752.  Stop Banningme  You do when a bolt action rifle is all you have.
    1
  3753.  @TotalRookie_LV  But then the non novice shooter could not do suppressive fire around a corner without exposing his shoulder.
    1
  3754. It is a shame 9x25 Mouser didn't make it big as a high power pistol cartridge. Maybe if somebody had made a quality, inexpensive, light submachine gun using it. Before the Army dreamed up with the idea of the .30 carbine self defense gun.
    1
  3755. It is such a shame that Walker didn't order the carbine that he clearly wanted.
    1
  3756. Water cool the gas tube.
    1
  3757. Assuming it works reliably it would have made a good home defense carbine in the day. Today we would want a bigger magazine.

  3758.  @discerningscoundrel3055  At highway speed the difference in time between an incandescent brake light and a LED brake light lighting up when the brakes are applied make more than a foot difference in where the trailing car can stop. The planes are moving a lot faster and it is a bigger difference. But continue with your fan boying for the .303 British, it's cute.
    1
  3759.  @discerningscoundrel3055  The energy increase is not linear with velocity. Double the velocity and you quadruple the kinetic energy. The flatter trajectory and lower flight times increase the odds of getting hits.
    1
  3760.  @discerningscoundrel3055  Consider how much flatter the trajectory and harder hitting 8mm Mauser is. Of course the USofA Army Air Force hadn't gone all .50 cal at that time either.
    1
  3761. .303 in air to air roll. Not quite as useless as spitwads.
    1
  3762. Those long chambers could provide plenty of place for wadding, a handful of loose shot, and more wadding to hold the shot in place. Speaking of such how would a cork work as wadding?
    1
  3763.  @ewhartiii  But the second time it was not iconic. It is not the one people think of when they hear the quote.
    1
  3764.  @ewhartiii  That is not the one that is memorable.
    1
  3765. I guess the FR-F2 proves that it is the chamber and barrel that is the heart of a marksmanship rifle not the scope. If there are still any fools out there that need to have that proven.
    1
  3766. Not a bad rifle but not ready to be a service rifle.
    1
  3767. With your off hand.

  3773. Almost delayed blowback.

  3774. So if you have one that you want to shoot get light loads or add a little silver solder where it won't conflict with other parts.

  3775. I not going to say that the Mauser is not better but I don't think Belgium would have gone far wrong buying this one.

  3776. I like that this is your last warning grenade.

  3777. The French should have replaced the Famas with new NATO compatible Famas rifles. But piss away your small arms industry...

  3778. Two bullets hitting almost simultaneously have significantly more effect then two separately aimed and fired rounds. So if you want that terrorist down before he can push the button...

  3779. I hope that tomorrow is a side by side comparison between the two.
    1
  3780. I am going to guess that the cleaning rod holds the stock together so that fools don't leave it behind to save the effort of carrying it.
    1
  3781. Yes. A folding pistol grip.
    1
  3782. Lighter and still safe is good.
    1
  3783. Probably both. By the time of the civil war paper cartridges were common and there was nothing that would prevent you from using them.
    1
  3784.  @racer927  I'm not but you are proving yourself to be.
    1
  3785.  @racer927  So the stupid say but the evidence disagrees.
    1
  3786. Easier done than said. Just stick a round in the exposed chamber and advance the cylinder and rewind. With practice in under 20 seconds.
    1
  3787. Add a shoulder stock and it would be great for home defense.
    1
  3788.  @0neDoomedSpaceMarine  If the gas piston just whined the spring it takes less power than working the action because it does not have to instantly overcome all the inertia and friction in the system. The persistence of the spring allows less total power to do the work and if a low power shot doesn't fully whined the spring the action still works with a ratchet capturing the partial whined.
    1
  3789.  @0neDoomedSpaceMarine  Gas action.
    1
  3790. Best full power select fire battle rifle ever.
    1
  3791. An actual Ethiopian made rifle.
    1
  3792. As a side arm for an army truck driver pretty good. As a side arm for an artillery man not too bad but terrible for anyone carrying it when looking for trouble.
    1
  3793. It would have been so easy to use an interrupted thread on the barrel for quick removal.
    1
  3794. I do believe that is the worst quick change barrel I have ever seen. But put a hand grip on the rear biped mount and you would have an at least half-donkey automatic rifle.
    1
  3795.  @jasperiusdedacia9400  All that would do is cause confusion. Besides given all the available evidence Wuhan is the origin of COVID 19 particularly if it escaped or was intentionally released from the lab.

  3796. That decocking lever looks amateurish for a third party retrofit.
    1
  3797. Stalingrad was bad guy versus bad guy.
    1
  3798. Would that bipod clamp onto a BAR.
    1
  3799. If he had just put a detachable shoulder stock on it.
    1
  3800. Given that clumsy reload I think that Mauser single shot would have a higher sustained rate of fire.
    1
  3801. That makes for fast cylinder swaps.
    1
  3802. Locking open on an empty magazine and automatically closing with the insertion of a new magazine sounds good to me.
    1
  3803. Those long Japanese bayonets do suit a carbine quite well.
    1
  3804. A pistol to go along with your M-1 carbine that uses the same ammunition is a good idea and then stupidity happened.
    1
  3805. A needle gun looks like a fairly effective work around for the Rollin White patent.

  3810.  @ForgottenWeapons  Thank you for the answer.
    1
  3811. If you had to choose to take either a San Cristobal Model 2 or M-1 carbine into combat which one would you choose?
    1
  3812.  @edm240b9  So?
    1
  3813. Given the corruption in Latin America how many were made off book?
    1
  3814. Given the Springs available at the time storing the gun with the spring loose is a real good idea.
    1
  3815. It occurs to me it might have been used by Armory sergeants to test guns on the ground.
    1
  3816.  @kevingarrett2559  It isn't actually loaded till after you spit and tap. I did mention the danger but if you move the bullet from your mouth to the muzzle with your hand you eliminate the unnecessary risk and still have a quick reload.
    1
  3817. The kind of gun useful only in giving your punch more authority.
    1
  3818. I was expecting a single horn.
    1
  3819. Operates like a single action revolver but very slim. Very nice.
    1
  3820.  @LJCyrus1  Use a security camera mounted on it to aim and servo motors to aim and fire.
    1
  3821. So you keep demonstrating that you are a fool. The patent system encourages innovation by rewarding the innovators.

  3822. A nicely gilded lily.

  3823. Good practical men, the Home Guard.
    1
  3824. Not me. That show annoyed me. Made up of traumatized survivors of WWI trenches and being the last line of defense between the horrors of war and all they cherish the British Home Guard was scarier than the waffen SS. They were the ones that when they heard of the "set the beach and sea on fire so the Germans can't approach the shore." Advocated for the "Wait till the bloody huns hit the beach and then set the beach and ocean on fire and those damned huns won't threaten anyone ever again." modification.

  3825.  @DrKlausTrophobie  It struck me as being more than a little odd and thus memorable.

  3826.  @DrKlausTrophobie  A library book on the history of machine guns that I read 30+ years ago.
    1
  3827.  @DrKlausTrophobie  The MG1 and MG2 were not German guns.
    1
  3828. In all fairness when you need that faster stopping power from the .45 it is real close range.
    1
  3829. MR73 for when you absolutely positively have to fire six shots in a row.
    1
  3830. I love those sneaky gun dealers.
    1
  3831. Nice demonstration of the value of veritable cheek rests.
    1
  3832. I have seen long range accuracy from a smooth bore air guns using steel half inch ball bearings and glass marbles. Presumably because of the very uniformly smooth surface.
    1
  3833. It looks like it was intended to fire lifted over shoulder high and at a downward angle.
    1
  3834.  @Momo_Kawashima  The French thought Belgium was a great place to settle their differences with Germany and the Belgians agreed that having a large capable French army helping defend Belgium from the Germans was a great idea and it came within a hair of working. If one more thing had gone right for the French or wrong for the Germans WWII would have went far differently because the German offensive would have been stopped in Belgium.
    1
  3835. I'm in favor of linking the original hammer to a new fire control group hammer. If you are going to link triggers you need a tension or really stiff compression linkage with a spring to. Take up the play.
    1
  3836. I saw a Bubbaed M-1 with a combonation cheekrest brass deflector that moved to accommodate switching between left and correct (I joke) firing. It had a good 5' (127mm) sight over bore. Bubba was firing from both sides of a post and getting 4' (102mm) groups on a 200m range. He was wearing a t-shirt that said make your own so I can't talk about the trigger pull on it. The sights looked braised on
    1
  3837. If they would have just increased the bottleneck instead of tapering the whole thing it would have worked so much better. .303 British is also a rimmed cartridge and works much better.
    1
  3838. If one of these cartridge designers I just gone to all the major pistol manufacturers other than Remington with a selection of "standard" cartridges it might still be around.
    1
  3839. I thought that was the obvious solution as well.
    1
  3840. There well always be a place for the right heavy machine gun.
    1
  3841. I fail to imagine the Bundeswehr not adequately testing the rifle for accuracy when hot in the acceptance trials.
    1
  3842. Not when it works and the others didn't.
    1
  3843. With batteries getting lighter and more energy dense and battery operated equipment more energy efficient the additional weight of the rifle and ammunition is less loss of capability in the soldiers entire loadout than one might think. Then if reports of the optic system combining multiple functions without all the weight of the multiple tools it replaces...
    1
  3844. Combine the sights doing much of the windage work training with undersize targets should result in improvement in long range effectiveness.
    1
  3845.  @brianzimmerman4837  6.5mm Carcano 6.5mm Arisaka 7.92x57 Mauser but the Germans moved away from it as fast as possible. The British Empire with their SMLE they had long range rifles.
    1
  3846.  @brianzimmerman4837  You think that the M-1 Garand was not designed as a long ranged rifle. That is just crazy talk. Given that in 1942 the USofA produced more war material that Germany, Italy, and Japan combined before filling tooling up the war production makes judging effectiveness of general issue infantry weapon by who won farcical at best.
    1
  3847.  @brianzimmerman4837  Why? In WWII machine guns using the same ammunition as the rifles had a greater effective range and if the machine guns stop the enemy outside rifle range...
    1
  3848. Aside of, if the rifle is relatively unimportant the amount of ammunition the rifleman carries is relatively unimportant how effective the machine guns are while using the simpler logistics of using the same ammunition as the rifles plays a part in this equation.
    1
  3849.  @jonnykarkkainen9965  I am not a fan of the T-handle charger but adding it to the side handle for the people that like (or used to it) makes sense and the rest was at worst specification by committee all at the start. The Bradley suffered from changing specs. Doing all my early shooting with a bolt action rifle I like the charging handle on the right. I always thought that a wooden knob on the early M-16 charging handle was the proper solution.
    1
  3850. The Bradley had problem in preforming its primary function the M-5 does not.

  3852.  @lohikarhu734  The Plymouth colony tried stores held in common for two years. Bear in mind these are Puritan that displayed virtue through hard work. The first winter on their own harvest they had enough but the lazy had no encouragement to work harder and the industrious not getting rewarded for their extra effort being encouraged to work less hard the second winter without the generosity of the Indians* the colony would have failed. That is communism for you. The third year they went to private stores and proceeded to prosper. That is capitalism for you. *most Native Americans call themselves Indians. In my limited Indianness (one of my great grandmothers was "fullblooded" Mountain Ute. I make a point of joking about Christopher added 2 and 2 getting three and taking a very long time to realise there might have been a mistake in his calculations.

  3853. Not if the sight compensates for it.

    1
  3866. For what machine gun?
    1
  3867. I agree that as a range toy 5.56 is the better caliber but for a SBR home defense the .300 Blackout is better but not necessarily enough better for the logistical hassles of adding a cartridge. Particularly given its ability to be chambered into a 5.56 rifle.
    1
  3868. It looks like a pretty good weapon for vehicle crewman.
    1
  3869. Suppressive fire to suppress the attackers while your team gets the protectee undercover and their folding stocks deployed doesn't need as much accuracy.

  3880. Barrel length is not about accuracy it is about velocity. If you don't need all the energy down range you can shorten the bullpup even more. If the soldiers can't hit targets beyond 200m either the sights are or the marksmanship instructor are bad. In WWII a fighter group equipped with P-38 had a particularly bad kill ratio and when the factory rep got there to find out what was wrong he found out that the group leader and the flight instructor transitioning pilots into the P-38 were absolutely convinced that twin engine planes could not be good fighter planes. After the factory rep demonstrated flying maneuvers that the instructor had flat out said we're impossible in a P-38 and defeating the group leader in mock combat while the group leader was in the single engine fighter of his choice the fighter group's kill ratio went way up literally over night.

  3881.  @ANCUTTER  Unpleasant but it doesn't sound dangerous.
    1
  3882. How many AKs have you seen blow up when fired?
    1
  3883. As a semi-automatic pistol it is not the best but it is practical. Used with the stock it is a good select fire carbine. It sounds like it would fill the design roll of the M-1 carbine real well.
    1
  3884. Nice little plinker.
    1
  3885. It would have been a great replacement for the M-1919 in 1940.

  3886. Perhaps some warlord was putting on airs.

  3887.  @HappyBeezerStudios  no the rifling comes later.

  3889. Looks like somebody's prototype.

  3890.  @matehavlik4559  The Korriphila HSP-701 is not the full expression of Kraut space magic guns either. Besides I would rather have the Rolex.
    1
  3891. Carried with 16 rounds in the magazine and then loading 8 in the fight is not a bad operationally. But, and it is a big "but" the gun has to work.

  3892.  @Nipplator99999999999  You forgot removing vermin or unacceptable hazards.

  3893.  @ngtrfnersgre365  It was lbj that assured Israel that the USS Liberty had left the area and the crew of the USS Liberty that Israel knew who they were.

  3894. 3 round burst = draftee army full auto.
    1
  3895. Getting the selector onto full auto requiring calm deliberate action is a very good feature on an automatic rifle meant for draftees.
    1
  3896. It is kind of shame that by the time militaries were ready for general issue repeating rifles the self contained metallic cartridge had rendered revolving rifles obsolete.
    1
  3897.  @okaro6595  The Chauchat chambered to thirty-ought-six was done wrong the chamber was the wrong shape and it resulted in them not working and your opinion of them. Ian has done enough shooting videos on them in the original caliber to show that your opinion is incomplete. The biggest problem with the original 8mm Lebel is the open side of the magazine letting crud in where it caused problems.

  3898. It was discovered that the poor cop with the pocket full of brass was hit by a neglegent discharge from his partner who slipped on a spent casing he had dumped on the pavement.
    1
  3899. It shouldn't be too difficult to cut down standard 12gauge shells for it and cutting away enough of the for grip wouldn't take much effort but that said it would have to be really cheap.
    1
  3900. That sear on the oprod could give a bullpup a good trigger pull.
    1
  3901. There is promise to the system but take everything learned and a clean sheet of paper and start over.
    1
  3902. Proof that just because you can make it work it does not make it a good idea.
    1
  3903. The American Army at the time had the idea if you make your requirements impossible to achieve you will get the best that can be done.
    1
  3904. That is what you get going with minimum specification. Harley Davidson didn't cheat they just exceeded the requirements.
    1
  3905. I think it would be greatly simplified by making it a needle fire.
    1
  3906. Unfortunately by the time you install the automatic cleaner it is ridiculous.
    1
  3907. Am I the only one that thinks that it should have a carry/barrel handle, a wood clad handle on the retaining nut and unlocking lever, and say a half inch long tapered guide lug on the gas connection?

  3908. The officer's side arm was for protecting himself from the gallows bait that made up the enlisted men.

  3909. Assuming that it is reliable it would be a good weapon for armored vehicle crewmen.
    1
  3910. With how slowly tube magazines load the magazine cutoff makes sense.
    1
  3911. I understand that the lack of a pistol grip reduces controllability. I wonder how much difference it makes in perceived recoil.
    1
  3912. Dear Sir, It has come to our attention that Argentina has ordered a 1000 of your fine rifles. We would like to order a 500 of these rifles at the same price per rifle plus a 1000 English Pound bonus for having our rifles delivered first. Paraguayan Minister of War and Navy, Colonel John A.

  3926. I am going to guess oiled paper cartridges.
    1
  3927. Learning to rifles I developed the habit of pulling the gun into my shoulder using the foregrip so I really like the pump forward action.
    1
  3928. The The slide with the experimental safety needed a frame to be tested on and on the next work bench over the experimental DA frame needed a slide and it was easier to put them together than walk to the supply cabinet to just put them together. That's my theory at least.
    1
  3929. Now I wonder if that nose trick would work with other SMGs.
    1
  3930. You could try putting a long eye relief scope on it to improve the balance.
    1
  3931. Given the choice of full power Simi-auto or select-fire battle rifles between SVT-40, M-1 Garand, G3, FN FAL, AR-10, any I miss, and last and least M-14 which would be your choice to take into combat?
    1
  3932. How is the trigger pull?
    1
  3933.  @ScottKenny1978  I admit I thought custom brokers only worked the import side.
    1
  3934. I am pretty sure that you would be able to find a lawyer to hold the gun and deal with local paperwork.
    1
  3935. I suspect part of the problem with it is it looks clunky. The tube magazine does not make the same kind of change to the rifle's looks like the this and the box magazine does.
    1
  3936. Being able to chamber a real .303 round in a rifle with nowhere for the bullet to go seems to be a problem.
    1
  3937. 1918 end of WWI not WWII.
    1
  3938. It looks like swapping cylinders would be faster than reloading the one in the gun. In fact pulling the cylinder, pushing out all the empties and reloading with a speed loader and reinstalling the cylinder might be faster than using the loading gate.
    1
  3939. That is some reliable cylinder indexing.
    1
  3940. That quick release barrel could be useful in clearing jams and hasty cleanings.
    1
  3941. The soldiers might have been making a stretcher for carrying a wounded man.
    1
  3942. If a USofA military was looking for a new 9mm submachine gun is Kalashnikov USA a viable contender?
    1
  3943. More importantly the disassembly instructions can be reversed for getting it back together.
    1
  3944. Another almost there.
    1
  3945. I wonder if it would have done better if it would have been chambered in 7 mm Mouser.
    1
  3946. You mean they didn't just wash the AR-10 in hot oil and pin it out to dry?
    1
  3947. Maybe they wanted an invented to get his due.
    1
  3948. That is a good out of battery safety.
    1
  3949. Those rifle grenade look to be fully useable as thrown grenades so if you have a launcher why carry throw only grenades?
    1
  3950. The pistol is probably accurate to that range but damned few people are with a pistol.
    1
  3951. Perhaps some shipping clerk was ashamed of Switzerland money laundering in WWII and added rifles that had been sitting on a shelf to the shipment.
    1
  3952.  @lavrentivs9891  I don't know but I think it is unlikely as Australia didn't have tanks.
    1
  3953. No. The Australians used Vickers guns they already had in inventory.
    1
  3954. Tests say no.
    1
  3955. It needs a spring to advance the cylinder.
    1
  3956. It does not look like it would be too difficult make it load and extract metallic cartridges but getting the hammer to hit the new primer would be a right pain.
    1
  3957. It looks like a nice plinker and gopher gun. If the price was right Jr's first bubba gun.
    1
  3958. So the rifle is compensating for something with the long bayonet.
    1
  3959. If you know your Browning tilt barrel action you will have no problem accembling a Coonan you didn't take apart assuming the correct spring for the ammunition. I imagine that you can tell the difference in which is stronger by feel without a problem.
    1
  3960. It is such a pity that pictures of the first prototype are not available. Kludge/proof of concept level working prototypes speak to my soul the way slick finished products don't.

  3964. The oath to do no harm only applies to his patients.
    1
  3965. Suspicious day for revealing groundbreaking research.
    1
  3966. For a bullpup it must have an excellent trigger. But it needs a little more spring.
    1
  3967. Beauty
    1
  3968. Blowback is not the action I would want with a barrel with a tight bore.
    1
  3969. Building a compatible battery pack shouldn't be too difficult.
    1
  3970. The French would have been so much better off if the necked down to 8mm without the intermediate taper and plunked down a rechambered M1885 Remington–Lee on the new War Ministers desk.
    1
  3971. Even with the screw and captive pin it still looks like it would be faster to change cylinders than to reload the one. The modifications to make changing cylinders convenient do not look that difficult; a thumb screw with the threading on other side and enough thread so that the lever drops free before the screw does and the cylinder pin held in place with a detent rather than the captive pin. How much energy can the bullet get with only half an inch of barrel?
    1
  3972. That is a complicated delayed blowback action.
    1
  3973. So if you want long bursts add a water jacket.
    1
  3974. I like that safety release.
    1
  3975. It makes me wonder if Léon Nagant saw one of these.
    1
  3976. Hall Monitor machine guns.
    1
  3977. The electric primer would solve the trigger issues with bullpups.
    1
  3978. The revolver carbine was the right choice before the metallic cartridge was "perfected". Moving the cylinder forward a few inches would improve them.
    1
  3979. That cartridge looks like it would make an easy conversion from cap-and-ball.
    1
  3980. A six inch spike bayonet can't be used as a machete or any other secondary function other than keeping the muzzle out of the dirt.
    1
  3981.  @MrChrisStarr  Improve the design of the bayonet then.
    1
  3982. The number seven is the best one because of all the secondary uses.
    1
  3983. In fighting in gas masks the other side is suffering about as badly. Poison gas is a terribly inefficient weapon against prepared enemies.

  3984. Sharp shooters rifles.

  3985. So the SIG is a SIG and the Rohrbaugh is trash.
    1
  3986. For a non professional soldier* army a flat trajectory is a great advantage. *conscript or mass volunteer
    1
  3987. It looks like there is a very positive half cocked notch on the hammer but having to pull the trigger and ease the hammer down to use it is not the safest thing ever.
    1
  3988. Algorithm comment
    1
  3989.  @M.M.83-U  Clearly it had to be reamed out to fit 8mm Mauser but absent proof to the contrary I have to believe that 33mm from the base 6.5mm Carcano is wider than 8mm. They had to put a ramp in anyway.
    1
  3990. Ammunition manufacturers missed the ball with 9mm sabot ammunition.
    1
  3991. Light, easy to use n' carry, effective at short range, and expensive. I think the last prevented the large scale adoption in light of the reduction of the Russian evil empire threat.
    1
  3992. A double action only trigger pull does reduce the danger of a cutaway trigger guard but still...
    1
  3993. That half cock indexing would be useful when putting the primer cap on the nipples.
    1
  3994. Those cylinders would be really easy to change for a fast reload.
    1
  3995. The lesson is, keep your pistol out of the mud.
    1
  3996. Which gun do you want to shoot? Which gun do you want to carry in a marathon and then shoot?
    1
  3997.  @wingracer1614  It is a delayed blowback.

  3998. The next time you fall asleep on guard duty we will communally clean our Reisings and you will get them all running again.

  3999. Being able to range to 4000m is quite useful if you have a telegraph to the artillery boys and girls.

  4000.  @endjfcar  As an intelligence officer order to squash any rumor that South Korea has nuclear weapons.
    1
  4001.  @endjfcar  There you go assuming an American style Fail-Safe system which includes building the bombs so they can only interact with some airplanes. Granted keeping the nuclear weapons from being used by accident or by unauthorized people is important but for just a few bombs that are not in the Air Force's hands their is no reason that you couldn't configure the bombs to be dropped from any plane with compatable bomb shackles with no electronic connection what so ever. Building the bombs requires precision work but the difficult part is not designing or building the bomb it is acquiring the fissionable material. Believe what you want but I prefer dealing with reality.
    1
  4002. So the guy spouting nonsense claims.
    1
  4003.  @endjfcar  You are acting like it is your job to keep them secret.
    1
  4004.  @endjfcar  Lets assume 12 airdrop nuclear bombs built, maintained, and stored at the same nuclear facility. It might have draftee heavy military security but it does not mean they know that amongst the stuff they are guarding are a few bombs. The Air Force doesn't have to know the bombs exist. Your corruption makes getting finned napalm canisters, and precision guidance packages easier. The only tricky part is getting the bombs into the hands of the Air Force when the National Command Authority decides to use them.
    1
  4005.  @endjfcar  You think conscripts would be trusted with the secret? Really? While maintaining a small nuclear Arsenal is expensive on a family budget scale for a government it is trivial.
    1
  4006.  @endjfcar  You don't have what?
    1
  4007.  @SurmaSampo  And does a much better job of stopping a Berserker or hopped up meth head the 9 mm or 38 special. When an adrenalized warrior jumps out from behind a bush with a machete intent on killing your ass killing him with a 38 is not enough to keep him from killing you in turn. That kind of shite happening in the Philippines is why the US developed the 45acp.
    1
  4008.  @niksarass  South Korea has never claimed to have nuclear weapons but they have the material, expertise, and motivation. I find it inconceivable that they don't.
    1
  4009. ​ @niksarass  South Korea has Kim Jong Un to the north who is working to build nukes and as a matter of policy considers himself the legitimate ruler of All of Korea, nuclear power plants, and the engineering expertise to build nukes. What delusion makes you think they don't have nukes?
    1
  4010. Might be useful on a trench raid.
    1
  4011. I get it but getting the new bore alignment right looks awfully difficult.
    1
  4012. I didn't think that Ian was going full fanboy it is not a French rifle.
    1
  4013. If I recall correctly you demonstrated that tall bipods work quite well during a two gun match when you used a French chauchat machine gun.
    1
  4014. Am I the only one greatly annoyed by the foolishness of not going with a metallic center fire conversion for the existing needle guns?
    1
  4015. If you are buying a really cheap pistol to use get an automatic not a revolver. At least the bullet will be pointed down the barrel when fired.
    1
  4016. It does have a visual appeal that can be lacking in a single finish gun.
    1
  4017. Just to see if it would work put a strap around the middle of the magazine to hold it into place and add a muzzle brake to reduce the recoil.
    1
  4018. Being able to skip the first ten round reload sounds fairly valuable to me.
    1
  4019. According to legend Director Donovan recruited people that had local knowledge of where they would operate figuring that it was the one thing that they couldn't teach them.
    1
  4020. Let's not forget that you can leave loaded clips in the safe for years without worrying that the magazine spring will weaken causing malfunctions.

  4021. I have never heard of a M1 Garand that was meh. A really light thirty-ought-six/7.62 NATO is never fun to shoot. Useful for hunting but you get tired of shooting it real fast.

  4023. Use additional caution went firing 100 year old guns.

  4024. I can't help think that a little work with a diamond tipped dremel would solve that problem. But how much would it cost?
    1
  4025. More than slightly.
    1
  4026.  @Zack_Wester  All measurable attributes.

  4029. It I'd designed to encourage the other Germans to stop the criminals before the MP fires.

  4030. Is the old Turkish brass good for reloading? Is the powder good for filling grenades? Am I just being a smart ass?
    1
  4031. There is always a translation but sometimes it takes a paragraph for a single word. Particularly with German compound words.

  4041. I'll bet it is louder when used properly.
    1
  4042. A gun that can be turned off remotely.
    1
  4043. Having every round I am carrying ready to feed into my SMG without a magazine change sounds like a good thing to me particularly when fighting in tight quarters in which the enemy is the one familiar with the terrain.
    1
  4044. That is a big handful of DRT.
    1
  4045. The Volcanic Rocket Ball did not have enough powder but at least it was all on the right end of the bullet.
    1
  4046. Looks good.

  4064. A proprietary cartridge killed it.
    1
  4065. Assuming it works reliably it would be good for trench raids.
    1
  4066. I never understood why they didn't put a hand grip under the cylinder or better move the cylinder about 102cm (4in) forward and put a handgrip under the cylinder. It would have made a more practical weapon.
    1
  4067. For shooting at a mock machine gun nest you need a mock machine gun. If you break their gun the gunners don't matter much.
    1
  4068. The CIA should have stolen guns from non USofA manufacturers for the job.
    1
  4069. The question is the difference in recoil with the counter balance in place and with it removed and the gas port modified so the forward gas is vented sideways to maintain bolt velocities?
    1
  4070. Given how "over gassed" AKs tend to be to provide for adverse condition reliability the counter balance system in an infantry gun might be more valuable than it initially looks.

  4118.  @mcamp9445  How fast they achieve bracketing shots proves the accuracy of the range finding also many of the rangefinders survived the war and were tested by the allies.

  4129.  @huiyinghong3073  And have British and American bombers drop mustard gas on German cities?
    1
  4130.  @huiyinghong3073  If Germany had heavy bombers would the fight for Staligrad been more than a minor footnote. The battle of Stalingrad would have been unimportant if the Caucuses oil production been bombed out of resistance. Heavy bombers do poorly against tactical targets. But assuming the 6th Army had been surrounded heavy bombers would combine the payload and survivability to actually keep the 6th Army supplied.
    1
  4131. If Goering had been interested in heavy bombers you might have had means of actually getting the necessary supplies to the 6th Army.

  4134.  @Jayare175  When you say "milk" you get real milk usually cow's milk. If you want a milk substitute, goat's milk, or more uncommon milk like sheep or camel you have to specify unless you are dealing with someone that would not have milk in the first place like say, the idiot vegans. The non idiots will tell you they have milk substitute of whatever type they have.

  4137.  @Jayare175  As someone who is allergic to both cow and goat milk and probably other real milks as well I use almond and and other plant based milk substitutes not as a nutritional equivalent but because plain water on your corn flakes is lousy as is plain water with cookies. I don't use soy milk as I don't need the estrogen.

  4138.  @unlearningcommunism4742  I said it was a substitute for milk. If you can't understand such a simple concept you probably shouldn't be let out on your own.

  4145. What happens when the President's plan is for a quick victory.

  4146. I hope they go with the F-35C or the JAS 39 Gripen. I think the Gripen best meets Canada's need but expect them to go with the F-35B. I know the Navy variant is heavier but the structure necessary for carrier operation makes for extreme reliability, low maintenance, and long airframe life when not slamming them onto and off carriers. In the end I think the reduced maintenance cost will offset the higher price. And double yes I do expect theTrudeau government to make the worst possible decision.

  4153.  @Mishn0  And it's wings had been clipped. Both were the result of the Army. The turbo-supercharger was deleted to "solve a problem of engine fires" that had nothing to do with the turbocharger. Then because without the turbocharger it didn't have high altitude capabilities some idiot decided that it didn't need so much wing.

  4154.  @atillanagy-balo6493  How appalling, a close air support plane needs to stay over the battle field not roam around enemy air space. ////snark////
    1
  4155.  @atillanagy-balo6493  As I said modified F-16s. The Air Force had begun shutting down A-10 operations telling instructors to start looking for other work before Gulf War I but it's effectiveness against armor at night using the Maverick's targeting system to enhance night vision got it spared from the chopping block despite firing the missiles and thus losing the FLIR before the gun attacks.
    1
  4156. The medium and high altitude air defense capability have gotten better as well and against competent medium and high altitude air defense systems the A-10 does really well. The Air Force Tried to replace the A-10 with lightly modified F-16s called A-16 in Bosnia; they had to be withdrawn and replaced by A-10s do to small arms fire.

  4166. I have seen a study that showed the greatest effect of the Allied strategic bombing was absorbing artillery shells that could have been used in ground combat. Gutting fuel production would have to be a closed second.
