Slight improvement today, cold bore was the same as yesterday @ 10 O'clock. I sure wish I didn't have that one round on the first group target. I'm pretty sure it was the first shot of the string

130 lb, socially repressed pacifists playing “knock out”? What could go wrong?

Kind of like the fictional Elbonians when they started getting bombed their GDP went way up because of the scrap metal value from parts of exploded bombs.

Some countries we bomb into a new technological era, actually elevating them.

could well be. no matter your metaphysics,an asteroid hit or a huge geothermal event look kinda likely. planet has always been a bit unstable and it is a space bound target.

Be funny to see one of these idiots do it to a 300lb sista

I guarantee the shoes, ear rings and wig would be gone in about 5 sec and he would be wishing he'd picked anyone else

What can you do with an old barrel? Just a suggestion...

I have taken pieces of old worn out mg barrels (example: Yugo AK/RPK which are not chrome lined) that are cut up and sold here in the US as scrap... and slice it in half lengthwise, hammer it flat, and make some sort of knife out of it. It is VERY hard steel. Just a suggestion.

Actually, that's a cool-ass suggestion. I have a blacksmith right down the street.

Oh yeah, uh…

A while back I gutted the airbox and lightly filtered a 3.8. There’s no question that with better intake along with smoother exhaust, the results are noticeably better. However, this was primarily in Florida and up the midsection. No really high dust environments.

Had a shelf for your cheeseboard

Now is another point where the world gets to watch the fact that dirty Pakis and Indians are better-equipped than Russia and Ukraine with weapons that actually matter, not silly things like artillery and armor that dominate the “primitive” minds of ground force-centric thinkers.

When you have J-10Cs lobbing PL-15s at Beyond Visual Ranges that rival most BVR missile metrics, against even some of the best French Rafale 4.5 Gen fighters ever made, it’s going to get people’s attention.

Remember Pakistan shot down an IAF MiG-21 Bison in Feb 2019 with an AIM-120C5 AMRAAM, launched from an F-16AM with upgraded US systems for BVR employment of that missile.

Debris recovered in India this time from a PL-15 shows it has an AESA seeker head as well. Chicoms have been getting all kinds of tech from their US political bribes, especially the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas, and Bidens.

OK. the Armenia/Azerbaijan war was a bit of a wake up call. i guess some got the word,some didn't. you would still likely need to occupy the ground to make an all out war worthwhile i think. unless you sterilized a country that is. that means infantry which needs protection which likely means armor which is increasingly vulnerable these days. looks like for troops to be able to survive gonna need sci fi like flying armored soldiers with the fire power of a heavy cruiser. space and satellite fights gonna be a BFD.
it does look like the Rus,Ukes,Iranians,Houthis and others are heavy into the drone/missile deal. don't know about us. China? i don't see conventional arty going away anytime soon.
if what you are saying is going out,and i think you are right in the long term,then i would bet that carrier air groups,battle ships,most surface vessels and esp maritime mil transport are all toast. seems like a lot of countries are pushing the carrier idea. with modern hyper sonic missiles being way cheaper than carriers,makes no sense to produce expensive big targets. launch enough and all you need is 2 or 4 to get thru. been said by others that they (and battleships) are good for smacking enemies that have no big air component like the VC and Afghans. remember Billy Mitchell? he went against the narrative,got punished and was proved 100% right in WW2.
one of Hitler's many big mistakes was building a bunch of heavy ships instead of more subs. they got sunk,scuttled or sat around doing nothing.
IMHO the same thought process in most current mil thinking-fighting the last war,not the new one.

Is that a 50 or 56mm objective scope and what ring height did you need?
I'll probably put anArken 5-25x56 mrad I have on hand on mine.

it is 56mm, it is a Spuhr mount, not sure on the height

Arca clamp sold

Rafales are the most advanced fighters India has. They looked at the price and believed the French hype, and ordered billions worth of them. As I anticipated, primitive minds with shiny new sticks thought they could bring them to the fight, and learned the hard way the tyranny of technology does not suffer fools.

Their Sukhoi 30MKIs have giant RCSs and less capabilities than Rafales, so the fight of J-10C vs Su-30MKI is even worse/unfair.



Keep in mind India has been shelling out tens of billions to equip their Air Force with the best equipment they could get. 23% of their $78.8 Billion budget goes to the Air Force.
