The NGSW: Separate the judgement of the current iteration of the program from whether or not there should be a program. Two things can be true at the same time.

100%. Given the Army’s track record of not having ever RFP’d, down-selected, and managed a successful service rifle program since the 1930s with the Garand, I think we should seriously consider removing or relocating small arms design, selection, and program management from the big pickle Army.

I and many others have been advocating for an Intermediate Cartridge, but I think the best place for that is to displace and eventually replace 7.62 NATO, mainly for size/performance and logistics considerations. This would increase the number of total round count for any dismounted or mounted/dismounted units, without sacrificing hit probability or relevant effects on-target.

We could keep 5.56 or replace it with something even smaller with better performance for the majority of the Combat Arms, Combat Support, and Support soldiers who currently draw an M4, or use the latest case technology to bring the barrel length down even shorter to make weapons more compact for a lot of people who simply will never fire their weapon at partial exposures outside of 200m anyway.

If we look at all the successful small arms programs since Vietnam, they have all really been embraced or pioneered by SOF elements who have freedom to test and select viable small arms, without as much interference from bureaucrats and ignoramuses who never were 11Bs or 0311s.

The organization who has influenced small arms with more relevant and useful systems is JSOC, without a doubt. USAF was instrumental in getting the AR-15 adopted and type-classified by the Pentagon, despite the Army in the early 1960s. But when we look at every ancillary system, rails, optics, LAMs, signature reduction, and better Man-Machine Interface, it was all pioneered in JSOC. Then it tricked down to Ranger Regiment, then SF, then Airborne/Airmobile/Light units. Mech were some of the last to see M4s, RAS, CCOs, PAQ-4Cs, PEQ-2s, PEQ-15s, ACOGs, etc.

There should be a group of retired JSOC guys who do Combat Development for big pickle Army. PEO, Army Ordnance, and big office US Army programs have proven impotent and misdirected when it comes to small arms. They screw up load-bearing gear and individual kit as well, on purpose. That’s their words, not mine. “We use an 85% solution because we need engineering capacity down the road, and don’t want to lose that."

JSOC working with AMU and industry partners has already cranked-out vastly-superior products.

I enjoyed it. Watch it when it comes on and its raining or late evening. Definitely far fetched, but it gives good vibes

Thats from Websters - what the fuck are you talking about - Nobel qualities, like spending time and money to make a sick kid smile - hero.

He is a diaper wearing self-admitted faggot. Scroll by.

I’ve been meaning to try 12/34. I hear it does amazingly well.

I’ve had great results with Lucas CLP. It and Hornady one shot / one shot HD held out quite well on bare steel in the back yard one summer. I tested everything I had on hand. Similar to the test posted above. Fluid film surprisingly didn’t last as long as I expected but I lightly wiped off the excess. I’m sure it’ll do better if left on thick like guys do for their vehicles in winter.

That same plant from today:



It has been hit before though.

I actually enjoy the Special Reserve. But up here in Alberta it is everywhere on the shelves collecting dust at $40 CAD. For the price I quite like it. The Weller Full Proof was my favourite for awhile (of the wellers) but I’ve come to enjoy 107 more. I have to buy them at auction up here though. Ontario gets an allocation. Too bad they didn’t send it all our way when they started boycotting American liquor. Just opened an Old Rip for my birthday. That was nice.

SOLD.

Are the facilities that produce those drones dispersed? Or are they produced in only one location do you think?

Here’s a good article on it with many photos from inside, comparison between recovered Shaheed vs Geran, structures, propulsion, origins of their SIM cards, guidance, production facility locations, etc.

Our First Look Inside Russia’s Shaheed-136 Attack Drone Factory

They were using a lot of Iranian airframes and components for a long time, just assembling them and maybe adding some of their own components, then making their own frames and populating those with Iranian and Ukrainian sub systems.

KARE 11 News couldn’t find anyone in Green Isle that knew the guy.

The population in Green Isle in 2023 was only 663 people. But not one person there knew him….

Surprised she didn’t call 911. Maybe she didn’t know the number.

Iran shot down an F-35.
The photo show the aircraft to be the size of a C-130.
Or Iranians that small?

OP

OP states he has a stash of 55 grain 223 ammo.
Most likely M193 ball or generic 223 loads. He is not looking to handload match ammo, he wants a good, accurate plinker to shoot up his stash of ammo as he is bored with shooting it out of an AR.
Handloading isn't on the table, buying more ammo, apparently isn't on the table. So, you're questions and statements have no merit concerning this particular topic. They certainly have merit if he was asking about precision loads. If he decides that he enjoys shooting the bolt gun and wants to explore better loads, then, again, your questions and statements have merit.
M193 is 4 moa ammo on a good day, nothing wrong with that as long as you don't expect to suddenly shoot 1 hole groups because you got a different rifle. Some rifles WILL shoot 55 grain ball pretty well and not all 55 grain loads are created equally.

I understand reloading or high grade precision ammo is not on the table. That said, all I was trying to point out is that a 7 or 8 twist does not necessarily mean it is only limited to heavy stuff and will shoot 55 bullets like shit. A 7 or 8 twist can and will shoot 55 grain bullets well enough if components are decent and chamber job is good. If the mass produced, non precision, factory ammo shoots like crap, it's more likely the ammo not a 7 or 8 twist like many might suggest.


But yall carry on and get 9 twist barrels to shoot only 55 grainers.

Its not the bunker buster bombs it's about the need to fly a bunch of B2 over the targets to drop them bumker busters , to even have remote chance of success against most Underground facilites, F35 or even F15 just cant drop anything sieable enough to dent these facilites. Bibi's plan was always dragging US into the war.



The conflict between Israel and Iran has entered the phase of a war of attrition: Tel Aviv hopes to drag the United States into it, - The Economist.Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear and missile sites since June 13 have so far affected only a third of the infrastructure. Deep underground nuclear centers, including Fordow, remain intact - without American "bunker" bombs, Israel may not cope.The main thing for Israel now is to maintain momentum: if it manages to maintain the appearance of success, this could push President Trump to participate in the war. But if the rate of destruction of nuclear facilities slows down and the number of victims increases, Trump may try to end the war before Israel achieves its goals, writes The Economist.

Kifaru Citadel or Eberlestok Upranger for dedicated bags. I use my Alps Outdoorz Elite 3800 Frame pack. It works really well and carry everything I need and then some. I might actually buy the 1800 Pack so I'm not as tempted to back as much stuff
