@ignisfatuous @Crime_Penguin One of the darker and more depressing cop movies

@GrandpaRoy2 Cast iron?

@georgemagnus1 They just need to tariff every product from China that Europe still makes.

@NatSecLedger Is the EX now coming with Conformal Fuel Tanks? I recall the initial few didn’t have CFTs

@derzum_ Seems like a robot arm that has a pneumatic spike that fires into the heart would be swift, reliable, and less theatrical. Strap em to table, knock them out with morphine patches, deploy the spike bot.

@RMADefense Correct. Buffman has done tests with like .22-250 loaded w M855A1 projectiles and they were stopped.

@BrandonFDW @JakOSpades Seems like Federal PEAK should be in the running as well

@MAC_Arms @Goliback1234v Now just imagine the performance gains from a 18-20” AUG barrel.

@hsu_steve Should still be vulnerable to being fried by the new High Powered Microwave (HPM) defense systems being developed.

@Ne_pas_couvrir Pretty crazy we’ve taken for granted that robots can give thoughtful, nuanced replies like that.

@arctotherium42 @tismnationalist My neighbor is a Vietnam vet Marine w/ Purple Heart, did 2x tours. 50 years later he’s regularly gripped by nightmares, hates being in crowds, resists sleeping etc

@impstrsyndrome @CMD7062 @WeaponOutfitter Velocity is still very important for punching through armor, and high pressure rounds gain more from barrel length per inch then regular pressure. 6.8x51 135gr = 2850fps 13”, 3000fps 16”, as an example.

@CMD7062 @WeaponOutfitter They have superior balance to conventional rifles, especially when mounting front heavy suppressors and IR lasers. They also make 40/42rd magazines less obtrusive as they are tucked behind the elbow and out of the way.

@bewailedguilt @NotWoofers Completely agree. Australia + B21 + LRASM / QuikSink seems like the most bang for the buck option.

@fuyuto64 Collateral by the same director (Michal Mann) also has a fantastic couple of Mozambique sequences with Tom Cruise

shoutout to Gary Larson for literally calling this in The Far Side in 1987 (!!!)

@jake_ayes @Noahpinion We should restrict all of that and focus on deterring an invasion of Taiwan through military and geo strategic choke points on Chinas maritime trade and energy supply

@kamipapa2 At the time we referred to his support buddy as his “Squire,” like the apprentice who supported Knights in medieval times.

@SCShipyards This would be my ‘flex plane’ if I was a billionaire. Just get dropped off at the yacht club in my Japanese military sea plane.
