No front sight so they could fit the barrel extension.

All of this boils down to one thing. If it passes, will local law enforcement pitch in to do the confiscation, which means going door to door. If not, this is all academic.

I agree.

The only state where reverse discrimination was fashionable before the current woke mess in the lower 48. Pay, promotion, and just general nastiness were their tools of choice. Back then there was an indoor gun range in the mall next to Hilton Hawaiian Village (I think). It was like going to...

Sorry, but Trump's actions in 2018 have no bearing on the fact that I and my friends were on the receiving end of Iranian made 107mm rockets in 2009 -2010 and beyond. Trump's actions have no bearing on Iran smuggling in special machine tools to its proxies to make explosively formed penetrators...

The Saudis have had a pipeline to bypass the strait for decades. It runs from Jubayl on their east coast on the Persian Gulf (area where Marines had assembly areas during the Gulf War) to Yanbu on the west coast on the Red Sea. The terminus at Yanbu has seen escalating attacks off and on since...

Not coordinated with Tehran. HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oregon higher than TX. In a way, doesn't surprise me. OTOH, I don't know Pew Research methodology. Are these percentages people who admit to owning a gun? The reality might be different.

As you say, Abu Musa was co-occupied by Iran and UAE. When Iran took complete control some reports said UAE military were executed on the island. This has been a festering sore for decades and despite planning to take it, or, take it out from the air, no one has had the gumption to do it. I...

Dry land returns require a much heavier capsule to withstand the shock and multiple retro rockets to cushion the impact in addition to parachutes. There are cons to ocean landings also, but we've opted for less weight and no retros. Note that with new technology we can now put four crewmembers...

I agree they didn't pop out recently, but she may have revealed AARs and lessons learned which would be incorporated in future manuals, but we'll find out more hopefully. You reminded me of a part in Blackhawk Down where the Delta guys went in riding on seats extending out from the sides of...

Remember the old proverb that cease fires just allow the enemy to reload? Well, we can a lot and they can a little bit. I haven't all the reports posted here, but I'd wager the cease fire allowed us to rest and re-cock and start the targeting process to clear the Strait. Don't laugh, but I...

Actually, starting about the mid-80s there were many FMs which were placed on FOUO designation. Unless one gets a bootleg copy, going through wickets is needed to get copies of them now. Some are publicly available, but you now have to buy them. Others on DTIC or Confidential TTPs need...

The perp's lawyer citing youtube and podcasts by former operators is crap. If youtube was a valid testimony of these guys and they spilled the beans it would have been a target rich environment for the FBI. As it is, probably 75% is BS. She is not a whistle blower or a leaker, she just has an...

Jack Northrop was a genius and so were American engineers. Unfortunately, too much credit is given to the HO-229 project as "inspiration" for our flying wing.

Apparently, it doesn't dawn on the onlookers a few meters from the punk firing the rifle that they might be next.

P.S. Charles Lindbergh's one and only enemy kill in WWII came while flying a P-38 while assisting a Lightning group in the Pacific. IIRC it was a Japanese cargo plane.

Just ran across this short bit on Red Bull's restoration of the P-38, my favorite WWII aircraft. The P-51 gets much deserved attention, but keep in mind our top two aces in WWII flew P-38s.

Hitler did this as a last resort because he was running out of men due to combat losses and capture. I don't see Iran suffering such massive losses even with an intense air and naval campaign. Last time I checked the Basij had 1 million over what the regular army had. Of course, they may be...

As the article says, our remaining F-14s were shredded at the big boneyard, but not before selected avionics and othe components were removed and secured. How secured I don't know. There were active parties in L.A. for example which were trying to acquire said parts on the down-low. How...
