    Hey, if you can’t situate the estimate, what’s the purpose right?

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    Blanks are ivo of 4EFC’s The powder cuts the throat - so in the ideal world they die. Run a Sims bolt for any FoF Fixed is a bit of a misnomer, as you take them off to clean the barrel, and SSI (and all other .mil suppressor companies) has a bullet trap BFA can look a like, as well as a...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    There is a willingness to decouple “Fortress North America” from global oil prices. However those suggestions don’t seem to gather that doing that will all but end the Petrodollar as standard. The weirdest thing is (well to me) so many Republicans seem to think there is some 4-6D chess going...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    You totally fail to understand the Pro Israeli lobby down here. As well as the reality of post WW2 guilt with how Jewish people were treated. Any President who attempted a SA like embargo would be destroyed.

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    Unless Canada is going it alone on its own HP, I wouldn't hold your breath -- we have seen a number of changes since the original contract round was unveiled. I think it is likely safe to say the 2 piece casing is gone the way of the dodo, as it went out before Federal had a contract - and the...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Oh I agree. My point was separating the Military capability from the Political. IF DJT decides to go all in on Iran, the casualties won’t play a part, as he’s got control. It may ensure no Republican gets elected for years - but at the end of the day I have already pointed out the main...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Agreed. They are separate despite what On War may describe. Capabilities and Willingness to use them are two separate items. The Military has the capability to glass Iran - but that doesn’t mean it will get done. Again Political errors / after Tet the VC was decimated and the NVA in...

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    It isn’t just a barrel. Any competent entity is seeing that bolt design and materials, barrel extension, cam pins and the bolt carrier itself also need redesigns. As well as so many folks seem to think that a HP optimized weapon will be able to function just as well with standard current NATO...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Do not mistake Government decisions for lack of Military capability. Or maybe it’s just the lack of willingness to exert force in a meaningful manner, and over a required period of time. FPV Drones are a social media clickbait their military value is very limited. The biggest issue with the...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Fortunately Iran is none of those. For those expecting massive Iranian partisan activity, UW 101 would strongly recommend against that in most areas. The key to anti regime activism in most areas of Iran at this point is target collection, and internal security. The IRGC has penetrated...

    Realistically no -- but it may make them feel better.

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    Horrible take Shotguns are exceedingly limited by ammo capacity, which makes them basically fucking useless in combat. On the GL, I think the Grenadier is better suited by the M32A1 Multishot Grenade Launcher, (with a short carbine also issued). Then a M230A1 stand alone as an option for...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    Honestly I take those with a grain of salt as none of the SCI stuff is in there, so any HumInt, ElInt etc gathered isn't included for fear of jeopardizing sources. Now given some of the statements made by the USG, there may be some in there - as it is clear that based on the statements about...

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

    You do not need to use the force to be a deterrent -- but you have to have the availability of that force. For example: XVIII Airborne Corps -- lets face it the likelihood of 82nd ABN doing a Div jump into combat supported by 11th ABN, and the 101st Air Assault/Airmobility is really low these...

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

    You will end up with a lot of variants of that truck - as the OEM of the chassis isn't going to sit on a design unless there is a gov contract requiring it. Except for maintenance and spares -- or do you think it is practical to kit out an Army like a Bosnian hit squad? A Bde is not a...

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

    The Ranger rifle got a laminated wooden stock - as some idiot seemed to believe that would be better than a composite stock -- despite composite stocks being used on bolt action sniper rifles since the 80's in all sorts of environments across the world. Prime example of a improperly written...
