  1. Most lvl 4 armor requires tungsten penetrators and the 6.8 is specifically designed to use a steel core to not deplete strategic reserves (most tungsten is imported from Chy-nah).

  2. Well for full context the AK47 was designed alongside other weapons from other design bureaus. In each phase the trials commission would present the pros and cons of designs and suggested taking good ideas from each other. The AK46 prototype is very different from the AK47. It was changed based on feedback so in the end it was a weird individual designer driven process that ended up as a cooperative state project.

  3. And yes typically the govt reserves the right to pruchase X units from the manufacturer but also give the design to other companies to make it under license - with a fee paid to the patent holder. FN produced M4A1s and paid a royalty fee to Colt.

  4. No, it's a hybrid brass case wall mechanically locked to a stainless steel case head.

  5. The thing is that the Shellshock Technologies company (that made the NAS3 case for 9mm) came out with a 5.56 case which allows boost in velocities with no pressure increase. So SIG is behind the curve.

  6. The M14 could not be produced at the rates demanded by the troop surge in Vietnam. Out of three companies initially contracted all were delivering insufficient numbers than stipulated, and with too many defective units. McNamara did what was necessary - get someone who could produce a rifle to meet the demand. And the M16 fit the bill.

  7. Because 6.8 SPC was designed after M855 failed in the close quarters of Mogadishu. 6.8 SPC was tested by SOCOM in Afghanistan and they dropped it. It's a short range cartridge.

  8. Stop. Things should be fixed during trials. It's a debacle that something broken was adopted and fixed after the fact.

  9. The F-35 is a good aircraft smeared by bombastic headlines (like conflating full mission capable with flight worthiness to make it seem most of the fleet is grounded).
