Alternatively, we could gather some of the AR-15's collected through the 'assault style weapons compensation program' make them up into dummy rifles and use those instead of rubber guns. Thoughts? (Said VERY tongue in cheek....no civvie has 2 of the same rifle let alone a few hundred in the...

And they'll make one ping only as they do so....

Training stock vs Op stock? Use C77 for training....use HP ammo for pre-deployment and operational?

It is, except when it isn't? In detail. At CFSAC 2009, I recall speaking with a LCol who was down visiting that asked why we were shooting at anything past 300m, because doctrinally that's beyond the range of an individual shooter, and if he had a section/soldier that needed to go beyond 300...

100000 PSI for a 5.56 round.....?????? Holy crap. I had a discussion about this with the ETQMS here at TEME about ammo/ballistics/etc with the new rifles coming, and basically we both agreed that going with a shorter barrel and standard NATO spec 5.56 62 gn C77 ammo is going to be a decrease...

A bit shaved off - I think this one's almost good to go. She's a bit more streamlined.

Redesign of the main mast to match 'sharkfin' has begun....and I see there's a 'step' on the funnel as well that I'm going to have to adjust for too.

I was on my PLQ - one of the other students's husband was on CHI, and was one of the medevaced injured pers. She was on a plane to Faslane the next morning.

Because our Constitution contains no mention of property rights, it applies to everything.

I think it is longer than it is wide - I'm gonna have to do some redesign I guess. sigh

Spec Ops grabbed the Uranium?

Are you in the Halifax area? That's where my humble abode and workshop is located.

24 strike length is still VERY versatile. Picture 4 TASM, 12 SM-2, and still having space for 32 ESSM in quad packs? Or whatever mix you want. Add a couple of ASROC.... I went to Google and put in "optimal missile loadout for a 24 cell VLS launcher in a modern warship" It came back as...
