I-it's only temporary until I finish college and move back to the south!
18 and not enough personal money. I'll be buying a bolt action rifle tomorrow though, so I'll go from noguns to hasgun.
>tfw your airforce is literally the FAG
What other embarassing acronyms can you think of?

Are you from Guatemala, anon? Wow.
I feel your pain bro, brazil fag here.
>>30371569
Wow, they really took the best plane they had to represent your airforce in the ads.
looks like I can't pass the background check for a gun. I live alone with my daughter and want something for home defense, I was thinking black powder revolver?
I've shot some of my friends' guns at the range, but I don't know much about what to look for and am poor btw...
>>30371575
I'm not seeing anything about antique guns in the archive... what was recommended?
>>30371559
>looks like I can't pass the background check for a gun
Well then fuck off felon.
This situation just seems to make me think you daughter will just become a gun death statistic when she finds your cowboy toy that you were to stupid to put in a safe that she didn't know the combo.
Just buy a baseball bat you tard.
Lockheed Martin is proud to present the F-35 Lightning II, the most advanced aircraft ever built. With its state-of-the-art stealth and avionics packages. It's ability to fly at Mach 1.6 and extreme turn capability make it the world's best dogfighter, and it's 6 hardpoints and 25mm gatling cannon allow it to rain destruction wherever it goes.
But it's offensive capabilities are overshadowed by it's excellent stealth capability. The Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan is one of the most efficient engines ever built, allowing the F-35 to cruise for 100 miles while burning only six gallons of JP-5 kerosene fuel, giving the F-35 unprecedented fuel efficiency and range. Additionally, the modern stealth technology incorporated from the bottom-up in the F35's design allow its engines to burn the fuel without producing any heat, converting all of the latent chemical energy into thrust at a 110% efficiency rate and allowing for much improved speeds.
The design of the F-35 has been built with stealth in mind. It's shape and contours are meant to be difficult to detect by any form of air radar, but the real secret is in the coating. The stealth coating on the fighter render it completely permeable to all forms of radiation, allowing radar and infrared waves to simply pass through the plane. In this way, the plane is undetectable by any form of radar or enemy avionics package and can operate in hostile territory without a hitch.
That same avionics package also forms part of the F-35's active defense system, which is completely unique and a development of Lockheed Martin's famous Skunkworks division. The avionics package can hack into and subvert inbound guided missiles and instead force them to re-lock onto their source, turning attacker's missiles against them. Additionally, 'dumb' unguided munitions can be caught with the electromagnet affixed to the underside of the F-35's fuselage, allowing incoming shells and cannon rounds to be caught and dropped later as makeshift bombs. In this way the F-35 absorbs and deflects incoming fire.
In addition, the avionics is so advanced that it has the ability to use deep-penetration radar. This enables the avionics to determine what targets on the ground are friendly or hostile and selectively adjust bomb and missile intensity to ensure that, if striking an area with civilians nearby, no civilians are harmed in the resultant blast or shrapnel. The shells from the autocannon are also 'smart' shells that can correct course mid-flight to only target hostile militants and avoid innocents. The Air Force's commitment to zero civilian casualties is a testament to America's commitment to human rights.
The US Air Force is the most powerful air force in the world, and Lockheed Martin aircraft like the F-35 only reinforce this truth - the F-35 is the new crown jewel of the new 7th generation of modern aircraft, and Lockheed Martin paves the way for the war of the future.

OP, even I, who has been shilling the F-35 realize this is some pretty good bait.
Sup /k/. I live in Alabama where we can carry a 100-round drum if we want to. Since I have the right/luxury of being able to have the highest capacity mags as I can find, I was curious as to how that would effect my choice of caliber if I was actually limited to 10 round mags.
Anybody else feel the same? What do you guys who have these restrictions prefer to carry?
Honestly if I could only carry 10rd mags I wouldn't use 9mm at all. I'd only carry 10mm and .45 in my funs of choice.
>Honestly if I could only carry 10rd mags I wouldn't use 9mm at all. I'd only carry 10mm and .45 in my funs of choice.
why?
I'd still use 9mm because all the other benefits of 9mm would still exist.
>>30371132
Where at in Bama, bro?
>>30371132
no because my carry gun is a 7+1 (9 round extended in the mail) in 9mm.
And i dont give a fuck of the magazine size of my range toys.
So, what is really the difference between those 3 planes. Which one is the best and which is the shittiest.
Cargo planes are wildly overrated, I don't really see the point, they should work on making high speed naval transports not dumping billions on cargo planes.
>>30370910
u forgot the y-20

Time for another info-drop thread. I've done some ones previously based around the British, been wanting to do another one for a while. This time, focusing on the future acquirements, technologies and purchases of the British Forces. A few of these may already be in service but are gaining new capabilities, or may have just entered service and are still worth mentioning as they continue to be delivered or make their first impressions on the field.
I'll go through the British Army first, then Royal Air Force and then ending with the Senior Service, the Royal Navy.
Previous threads, which I've finally managed to locate, their pictures are long gone I'm afraid, but the infos still there:

We'll kick this off with the Ajax.
A family of medium weight vehicles being acquired for the British Army, Ajax ranges from 36-42 tons, depending on variant.
The one pictured here is titled the same as the family, "Ajax". A force recce vehicle, it's armed with a CT40 cannon (Case Telescopic 40mm) and a Protector RWS up top. (More on them later, if you're wondering about ATGMs). It's also got an 805hp engine, so it is pretty nippy.
Heavily protected for a vehicle that isn't an MBT, it's designed for heavier battlefields than legacy designs, and for engaging the growing protectiveness and size of opposing AFVs. But its primary capability is its ISTAR and Networking.
Equipped with infrared, long range sensor suites, acoustic detectors, CBRN detectors, external cameras and a whole range of reconnaisance packages, it can stream all that information through a 20GB/s open network infrastrucutre to any other "open" equipped squad, vehicle or aerial asset. Because of this, it can sent images, video, sound or include information on the maps and command systems of allied units at extremely long ranges, controlling what everyone is seeing and link to GEOPINT assets.
If that sounds like a load of jargon, see it as effectively an AWACS on the ground. This information can also be used to direct air strikes and artillery.
There are 589 vehicles in the Ajax family on order, to enter service in 2017. More on the variants in a moment.
>>30321551
The full family of Ajax vehicles is broken down as such:
>245 turreted 'Ajax' variants
198 Reconnaissance and Strike (Ajax)
23 Joint Fire Control (Ajax)
24 Ground Based Surveillance (Ajax)
>256 Protected Mobility Recce Support (PMRS) variants
59 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) (Ares)
112 Command and Control(Athena)
34 Formation Reconnaissance Overwatch (Ares)
51 Engineer Reconnaissance (Argus)
>88 Engineering variants based on the PMRS
38 Recovery vehicles (Atlas)
50 Repair vehicles (Apollo)
The vehicle in the picture here is the "Ares" variant, an armoured personnel carrier that can load between 3-8 men, depending on the modular compartment's contents. Built to carry UGVs or carry heavy specialist weaponry (Javelin teams, Starstreak Batteries) the amount carried can heavily vary, but it forms a much more heavily armoured vehicle to carry recce infantry in. There are 256 APC variants in total, with 245 turreted combat vehicles, and 88 engineering vehicles.
The engineering vehicles show the grunt of the engine very well, in Austrian trials (Given the ASCOD chassis) one pulled an SK-105, an ASCOD IFV and a truck loaded with numerous tons of steel for 200km all at once. The British Army loves their engineering, so no wonder.
In many ways, the Ajax family with the open network infrastructure and ISTAR kit either on or in the vehicle is much like how F-35's are intended to network around the battlefield. Known elements to be linked to this system are Ajax, Foxhound, Challenger 2, Watchkeeper, Exactor, F-35 and certain infantry teams. This will only be expanded to each new fleet as they turn up. It's quite similar to the French Scorpion program, just with a satellite network overhead from Skynet.
>>30321601
Hot on the heels of the Ajax in 2017, the new Warrior IFV upgrade program is due to begin deliveries in 2018.
The list of upgrades are quire numerous, but mostly centred on an entirely new and much larger turret mounting a fully stabalised CT40 cannon, the same as Ajax. Both vehicles will have APFSDS and Programmable Rounds for airbursting, structure penetration, standard HE and anti-air. In both Ajax and Warrior, all cannon rounds are kept completely externally from the crew.
In addition to the turret, the Warrior will receive armour module upgrades, a new spall liner, new blast resistant seats and flooring, connection to the Open Network Infrastructure (forgot to include it above) and new sights and cameras for the troops and crew inside.
At the moment the exact numbers have condradicting sources, mostly because of the next entry.
No longer a nogunz edition:
Com'on /k/ommandos, let's see what you've got lately.
>>30370604
Picked up this NPAP for $670 shipped from buds before the price gouge after the fag population trim. First rifle I actually can call my own however I'm no stranger to firearms. Taking it out to the ranch this Friday and will probably put a hundred or two rounds through it.
Overall, the build quality seems great.fit and finish are perfect. Underfolding stock is very stiff but it's working it and getting looser little by little.
Take a picture from the side.
What you did was take a picture that make you weapon look cool but it doesn't allow us to clearly see the whole.
>>30370720
Lighting is shit. Those side pictures was the best I could get but here ya go. Ruler for reference
Lets talk about 25/300 and 50/200 yard zeros or their equivalent for each caliber.
I have my ar's zeroed like this but im not sure what my other calibers would be. Does anyone have a handy dandy info sheet?
What range do you prefer to zero your rifles?
I zero at 100y or 50y. I like the 100y because you don't ever have hold unders just hold overs.
I have this image for 308
>>30370466
>never shooting past 100yds
why even have a rifle?
>buy new CZ 455 Lux
>notice pic related when I get home
God dammit. Think CZ will send me a replacement barrel?
>CZfag perpetuates the behavior that confirms the status of being said variant of fag by not checking sights before purchase.
>>30370141
Checked and didn't notice them that far off in the store. Calm down, anon
Call em and ask.
Project orion has been fully invested in by the DOD, each orion battleship will carry the full planned armarment, including a plethora of nuclear missles, casaba howitzers, railguns, and atmospheric bombers.
You have been put in charge of the troops the orions will carry. What kind of equipment and training do you give to orbital shock troops? How are they recruited? What else might you like to see them have (physical augments, etc)?

Feel free to post any pictures you guys have.
So I noticed a discrepancy.
http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/files/dragon_skin_release_000121may07.pdf
The review of this product says failures @ 160 degrees F and -60 degrees but multiple private studies directly contradict this.
Dragon Skin Level III armor was also tested the week of October 2, 2006 by Dr. Gary Roberts, DDS, Stanford University Medical Center.[10] These tests were conducted for a local law enforcement agency, as a control sample a stand-alone Armored Mobility Incorporated (AMI) level III steel composite plate armor was used for comparison. Both types of armor were conditioned for 12 hours at 170 °F (77 °C), then moved to ambient air for approximately 90 minutes prior to being shot. The problems associated with the use of inelastic clay backing material have been well documented; as such, the armor was secured to a life-size curvilinear torso replica made of Perma-Gel. Each armor system was shot a minimum of 20 times with five rounds of each ammunition type fired against each armor system—one 90 degree perpendicular shot, two shots at 60 degrees obliquity, and two shots at 30 degrees obliquity, using each of the following loads fired at a distance of 10 feet (3.0 m):
5.56 mm 40 gr LeMas Urban Warfare (using a moly coated Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet) with a 3,718 feet (1,133 m) per second average velocity.
5.56 mm M855 62 gr FMJ with a 3,054 feet (931 m) per second average velocity.
7.62×39mm M43 123 gr steel-core FMJ with a 2,307 feet (703 m) per second average velocity.
.30-06 M2 150 gr FMJ with a 2,736 feet (834 m) per second average velocity.
All of the above ammo was successfully stopped by both armor systems in this testing, with no armor failures or penetrations, even after receiving multiple hits.
>>30369934
In Fresno, California, a police department commissioned the purchase of Dragon Skin for its officers after a vest stopped all the bullets fired during a test, including .308 rounds from a rifle and 30 rounds from a 9mm MP5 fired from five feet away. The armor also stopped 40 rounds of PS-M1943 mild steel-core bullets from an AK-47 along with 200 9 mm full metal jacket bullet fired from a submachine gun.[9]
So my question is, why did this shit fail to begin with? It's literally just plates oriented in scales.
