Facts:
- Twin Engin Figthers a constructed for superior Speed, Power and Arming.
- WW2 Aerial warfare Figthermantra: "Speed-Height-Suprising" or "ZACK-BOOM"
No WW1-Dogfights
Reality
-Even the P-38 Lighting had serious problems agiants a fucking IAR-80(Like early war Me BF-109)
Question:
-What went wrong?
>>29847608
Twin engine fighters were for strike fighting and attacking bombers? Not intended to fight against far, far more agile single-engine fighters.
>>29847608
Turns out the benefit you get from twin engines isn't enough to make up for the performance losses you get from the added weight and drag. You're effectively relying on the added power of the second engine being enough to make up for the massive performance losses you're going to get in just about every aspect other than speed.
If you look at the places where heavy fighters generally worked, it was where the targets they encountered were massively outperformed. That generally means interception of bombers and whatnot (aerial interdiction, night fighter, etc), or operations in areas where enemy fighters are so far behind that they're not nearly fast enough to compete (Pacific theater).
The P-38 also had some issues with poor design that made things worse. The wings performed poorly at high speeds because they had an unusually low critical mach number, meaning that they hit transonic effects far sooner than a lot of the fighters they encountered. That killed the one advantage they were supposed to hold (speed), really hurting their prospects.
>>29847608
You don't think there were maneuvering or turning fights in WW2? Not everything got decided by zoom and boom and zoom off again.
If you can find a book called Wing Leader it give excellent descriptions of air war in Europe from the early days of WW2 until the end, it's also entertaining as hell; written by the highest scoring allied ace against German fighter aircraft. Even late war when both sides were fielding very fast aircraft there was still turning and rolling and stuff, you always zoomed in the initiation stages but there was still a melee after that. And unless you were in a jet you just didn't have the speed to leave everything behind, at any given altitude.
Just bought this last night and it's actually not that bad. Brand new $60 out the door couldnt beat it don't be jelly
i guess a sixty buck pistol is sixty bucks meh spent
hows it like

Was the seller a red guard by any chance?
So basically I've been planning to join the army but now that my parents know they want me to join the Navy or the Air Force. They're under the impression that I'm gonna be killed if I join the army. How far off ate they from the truth and do any of you /k/ommandos have any suggestions on what branch of the military to join? Btw I'm 6'1 and 150 lbs so take that into consideration.
>>29847525
Well what do you plan on after the military? The Air Force and Navy may be better options if you want to find cushy jobs after serving.
>>29847547
Not really sure yet. Currently in school for Computer Science but a career in the military does sound kind of nice.

What is the absolute cheapest way to reload ammo that's safe enough so it doesn't break the gun?
I'll be dealing with 8mm mauser for the record
Single stage press would be pretty cheap and precise.
I think cast lead bullets can be very economical if you learn to make them yourself, as well as being very easy on the gun and bore.
Negatives is they are limp dick as fuck and drop like stone + gotta watch for bore leading it can be dangerous to fire fmj through a leaded bore
>>29847410
If you are hoping to use surplus 8mm brass you might be in trouble. I don't know any surplus 8mm that isn't berdan primed which is not worth reloading even if you somehow find berdan primers.
Has anyone ever seen the B&T APC223?
Now, I fucking wonder the difference between the 556 and the 223 model, since when you check the specs it's exactly the same shit.
Top is the APC223 and the one on the bottom is the APC556.
Any ideas what's the difference?

>https://www.bt-ag.ch/shop/eng/bt-apc556apc223/bt-36052-bt-semiautomatic-rifle-apc556-cal-556-x-45-mm
>>29847301
It couldn't possibly be the chamber specs. I mean it's not like a .223 chamber is different than a 5.56 chamber, right?
>>29847301
could be a .223 win vs a .223 wylde
>>29847340
Check the specs.
It says ON BOTH:
>Calibre 5.56 x 45 mm / .223 Rem
So, not it can't be the caliber when they have the exact same caliber for both version.
Or else you would see the APC223 as being advertised as being chambered only for .223.
I heard alot of complaints about this one.
What IS wrong with this thing?
And what more WAS wrong?
A1 was pretty awful, A2 fixed basically all the issues other than heavier weight than comparible rifles.
This thread will be full of shit.

jesus christ this.
TBQH shit like that is the reason I don't go. Lately I've also made it a point to notify the regional LEO near every meetup and nuggetfest to inform them a bunch of armed teenagers are doing creepy shit in the woods. I always get a friendly email thanking me for tipping them off and that they'll keep them under observation.
Clevelanders, all 216, 440, 330, are you prepared for the RNC?
I'm staying inside all week. Hope all of you stay safe.
Reminds me of the Northeast anons who were in happening mode for the polar vortex.
Lake Erie niggers are always prepared
Anybody know of the cheapest FFL in the LA area? Does anybody have a friend of a friend?
I'm looking to buy some stuff, but the $70+ cost of an out of state transfer negates any of the deals I find.

those girls simply do not have enough meat on them.

Are you body shaming them, shitlord?
You're peacefully walking through the woods when suddenly you are ambushed by a rouge tree stump. The stump glares at you with vilainous intent and commands you to prepare your anus.
How do you defend yourself?
>>29846618
nothing, because i've been dead for 87 years prior to this unusual meeting
rouge? like sort of red? moulin rouge?
>>29846632
Tree whose stump it is pls go
can we get a radio general thread?
i am interested in buying 1 or more, but honestly i have no use for something so cool.
>>29846530
then why not spend the money on something you need?
if you absolutely must have a radio that you'll never use them go with bubble pack radios for ease of use or a baofeng uv5r for a jack of all trades radio
>>29846576
>then why not spend the money on something you need?
not a poorfag and i'd probably find a use for it if i got one.. i just have no practical use for it atm
Currently own a Baofeng UV-5R. Not the best, not the worst. I've use it to listen in on local radio clubs and as a pager for my Fire department until my Captain signs me off on a Dept issued one. Helpful for learning my radio codes and such. Plus it's fun to fuck with little kids using Walmart walkie talkies. Told some kid that I was watching him and his friend as they were playing around, scared the shit out of them and made me kek. I need a life.
Hey /k/, let's pretend that you replaced the critical plastic parts from the G36 with machined metal parts, so the gun wouldn't melt and become inaccurate when hot.
Are there any other flaws in the G36?
>>29846479
If your going to upgrade some parts on the G36, why not just get a SCAR 16?
That said, my first rifle related boner was an HK G36k
Proprietary magazine
Too heavy in comparison to other options as is
Other than that really no problems, G36K is the shit
>>29846479
>Are there any other flaws in the G36?+ 0 post omitted.
Not an ar15.
