  1. I've no doubt there have been product improvements made to the XM7, just a the M16 and the M1 Abrams were improved. But there are some things you can't fix because of physics, such as recoil, muzzle blast, weight, and ammo combat load.

  2. Damn, and Sig had such an unblemished record until now. 🤑

  3. There are some logic flaws in the Operation Greenlight story, such as the direction of flight actually being west instead of south and the terrain of New Mexico being completely different than that of Cuba. I've known and worked with a fair number of Special Ops forces. I don't ever recall meeting one so thick that he couldn't have figured these simple facts out on his own. So I'm going to call BS on the idea of this being a psychological warfare test. That sort of nonsense was the premise for the 1983 movie WarGames.

  6. Okay, I'm in. Welcome to corporate, grunt.

  7. Why does it have to be semiautomatic? Given the relatively slow rate of fire, I wonder if a pump action would be lighter, simpler, and more cost-effective. The only downside I see is the possibility of heavier recoil (yikes).

  8. Don't hate me because I'm big, heavy, and hard recoiling.

  9. We've had a CONPLAN for dealing with Iran for decades. I worked on it in the 1990s. I can't say I ever wanted to see it expanded into an OPLAN and initiated. No doubt it has morphed considerably since then, but if it requires boots on the ground, it will be quite messy.
