Wes' original thread on his M10 is here: AIA (Australian International Arms) M10A2 7.62 x 39mm Carbine - Pics and info

Can it still be called secret when we're all talking about it already?  :-\

There's a writeup on the QLZ-87 here: http://www.sinodefence.com/army/crewserved/type87grenade_35mm.asp

Wiki's article on the ZB vz.26 noted a related 'Type 97 LMG' although I never found a picture of it Further looking through the links at http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk found this: http://www.dragonsoffire.com/articles_JapaneseCzech.htm A Japanese copy of the vz.26 in 6.5mm produced in a...

I've seen; some of the Russian and Chinese missile boats with the old Silkworms just look ridiculously be-weaponed, but I digress. I wonder if the USCG might eventually make use of those hulls - it's fast, has a hanger, and the gun armament wouldn't be unusual in the USCG (I'd assume they would...

You don't need to go to other nations.  Our Halifax frigates are larger than our own destroyers, and are slightly larger in all dimensions the Jane's recognition guide gives. I didn't actually realize how light some frigates are, thinking of ships like the European and Canadian frigates that...

Sound's like someone's in the wrong line of employment!  ;D

Its armament looks closer to a corvette than a frigate though

I suppose they removed the old mag so you wouldn't have to load it with stripper clips?

Ah, I stand corrected. Has the King ever said anything about the Coups that have ocurred during his watch besides the one 15 years ago when some protestors were killed?

It's my understanding that while the army claims to be supported by the King, no one has actually heard from him yet. BBC says that the Army units involved in the coup support the opposition/are against the PM, but have no indications on the disposition or loyalties of other units. Of course...

k, who wants to post pictures next? On a related note, here's another online naval recognition quiz http://www.marineschepen.nl/fun/test2a.html I just can't distinguish between most of the non-US/UK ships  :-\

yup.  Next time I'll need to remove the flags. Uhhh, I think it's your turn, but since you didn't post any pics. Names and Nation(s) for these two carriers:

Something a bit more exotic:

And no going to 'view image' to take a look at the file name, thas cheatin'  ;)

I just want to make sure that this address is still valid now that the RCR are out there.

They do look odd, but the CIA's world factbook sex ratios show similar numbers for Saudi Arabia Sex ratio: at birth: 1.05 male(s)/female under 15 years: 1.04 male(s)/female 15-64 years: 1.33 male(s)/female 65 years and over: 1.13 male(s)/female total population: 1.2 male(s)/female (2006 est.)...

Demographics affect that figure though - many of the men unable to find wives will be the poorest of society - especially poor peasant farmers.  China will age mind bogglingly fast because of the age-distribution. However, on the male-dominated front, it is at 106:100 men to women.  It is a...
