Version 4 is a work in progress....Looking at the details, I still have a bunch of work to do. A number of small platforms to add on both the 'fin' and the superstructure, as well as creating a number of assorted antenna bits and such. I am generally pleased with how this is looking. I did...

My good man. I already have SAWS Launch capability....

My R/C Type 26 is now officially R/C. She floats, she moves, she needs more sea room for her next time in the pond. I also need the lake behind the house to thaw out the rest of the way so I can use it instead!

If you step into competition shooting, things become very specific. I knew some shooters that used to have a different rifle for each distance they fired - each essentially identical. Others swapped upper receivers on their AR's depending on the distance they shot. If you've got kids and...

Yup.

We had that discussion around the table in the late 90s....like...there were import records showing that 50K+ AR-15's were imported to Canada between 1978 and 1992....but with the initial stand-up of the restricted firearm registry back then, only ~20K AR's were registered by owners. Where did...

Considering the average Canadian Gun Owner from 30+ years ago probably has the following in their collection: .22 Cooey 12 Gauge break action Shotgun .303 Sporter from Grandpa .410 Gauge to teach the kids +1 nice hunting rifle with scope And most of those owners are the ones who never...

There are honestly a lot of factors in there. Accuracy of the pointing system on the ship Accuracy of the gun itself Burst radius of the projectile Sensing radius of the fuse in the projectile These factors will all influence how likely you are to hit/kill an incoming target.

The businesses that submitted items for destruction haven't been paid yet....why do you think individuals would get paid?

Each rocket weighs about 160 pounds - ish. There's actually a crane/hoist that hooks onto the rear of the launcher to hoist them into the tubes. In an emergency, I can see hand-loading a couple with a team of sailors fairly quickly. In a full load, you'd get the whole team and gear setup.

I have trouble believing that there wasn't planning that went into this, but I suspect that they focused on the most optimistic of plans, not the one put forward by the random Major that said "Hey, what if this doesn't work the way you think...." I think the optimistic plan was OBE with the...

* 32 Math.

There is no practical application for this on a RCD - the limited firing arcs make it less than useful if this container was inside the Mission Bay. However. On another class/type of ship, it might be more useful - consider a Sea Can on the quarterdeck of an MCDV - adding a pod with RWS in it...

We got lucky on MON when our only operation ROD system decided to spontaneously combust whilst at sea in 2015. First, the engineering roundsman was actually in the space at the time - and he was both skilled and brave. He grabbed the extinguisher, dumped contents on it, and by the time the...

I'll observe that there is "NATO STANDARD" and "NATO INTERCHANGEABLE" The Circle with a + inside is NATO Standard - meaning it will fit and function in your rifle safely. The Maltese Cross is NATO Interchangeable - meaning that it will fit and function in your rifle, and will shoot to within...
