    Loadsa "independents" on the Ballot Discussion (split from PP by-election)

    Pierre will not be an effective MP for Wainwright as he knows nothing about. Marlaina is a completely ineffective MLA in Medicine Hat as she got parachuted in there and is pretty much a ghost. So no, leaders don't run to be a riding MP. They run to be a leader, and Pierre has failed once and...

    Will 2021 see a new pistol buy?

    I agree with Bruhard that if the CAF teaches that, it is a bad thing and an admission there are problems. It raises the question of a person's culpability if the do have a ND when drawing a readied pistol. If it has been accepted and they have been taught that holstering a readied pistol...

    The War in Ukraine

    Looks like a projectile from 73mm SPG-9 or 2A28 gun. 3 to 8 kg weight, HE, HE-Frag, HEAT available. A far cry from 105mm weighing around 15kg. Also, both SPG-9 and 2A28 are smooth bore so easier to modify the fuze to not require acceleration instead of not needing acceleration and spin.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    We can maintain TOW and most solid fuel land missiles until the cows come home. We also regularly build AIMs of various types. Given the material handling even SMx maintenance could be done (big cannisters, sealed, etc). But liquid fueled rocketry is a new capability. We have experience...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Not for liquid fueled missiles made in Europe. Nor for liquid fueled ones made in the US, but it's easy to truck Harpoons to the manufacturer. I guess as they are wooden rounds we can just chuck them in the Atlantic and they will float back to Norway when the sea lanes are contested. The...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    What about maintenance facilities for those missiles. Sure I've sand blasted 105mm sitting in a triwall, and remarked them in mod tent, but I think modern missiles need a bit more TLC.

    Which one? The French like their rifle grenades. We never adopted any for full service use.

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Oh no, nothing so fancy for us colonials. Our rifle grenade was literally a way to throw a normal grenade (L26 may be more familiar to you) farther and with less accuracy.

    Not Canadian. We had special blank rounds (black I seem to recall) for them. Called ballistite blanks in other countries. No bullet trap or shoot through for us!

    Indirect Fires Modernization Project - C3/M777 Replacement

    Tail of a rifle grenade. You could attach a C1 smoke grenade (the ones with the rounded bottom), or a M61 frag grenade to it. There were three clips (see the left hand side) that held the grenade. It had a clip that held the fly off lever in place. You attached the grenade to the tail, made...
