Wow...haven't posted here for a while.....

anyway,

I guess when it comes to bullets:

Penetration: GOOD

Too much penetration: NOT SO GOOD

I thought the issue of thru-and thru penetration is a 100 year-old issue.That's why the US military adapted the .45 round back in the 1800s,because the .38 used then simply went through Filipino rebels when they shot them instead of stopping them dead.

As said before CQB is a very closed environment,if all the bullets will penetrate too good,surely there's the issue of collateral damage?

Wah! And here I thought the UMP is simply a .45 cal version of the MP5......

I also heard that the UMP a straight blowback weapon? if so,wouldn't it be a step down from the roller-locked delayed blowback system of the MP5,which makes it superior to other SMGs in the first place?

Wow....really old-skool pimping up of weapons.Obviously the nagant rifle will never shoot straight with that thing on......

RELEASE YOUR FRUSTRATIONS!!!!WRITE IN CAPS!!!!!!

Hmmm....seeing that this is the carbine version,probably it does give a hefty kick.Don't know about the attachments controlling recoil though,don't see a compensator installed.And HOW THE HELL do you operate the bolt with that carrying handle on?

Little known fact: The cruciform bayonet can be detached and used to unscrew the stock and strip the rifle.just telling.....

Dude.....that's a game.....
In real-life adding too many attachments to a weapon can possibly unbalance it,making the aim worse.

Attachments that are essential for a tactical situations should be the ones attached,not the whole shebang.....no use of a laser pointer and a torchlight in broad daylight,right?

Maybe a red dot scope/sight, a grip handle and a laser pointer would be enough for most missions and tactical situations,no?

Like this,ok?yes,no?

What about those wide-body utility vehicles (humvee,Kobra....) seems like they look perfect on the wide open spaces like Afghanistan,but when they are enclosed in an urban environment (Mogadishu,Baghdad,Fallujah) they seem to be hard to maneuver due to their width....cannot make a 3-point turn in a standard sized street.

The wide body is originally designed to make the vehicle run on the the trail left by tank treads,making movement easier in the desert.

I think that's the main problem with current western weapons (especially the US forces), because they have been fighting in the middle east for the last 20 years,most of their equipment is geared to a urban and desert environment and may not be at all suitable in most general environments. (Imagine a Cougar MRAP maneuvering in a wooded area battlefield,or inside a city for that matter.....)

As if the current Afghan War is unpopular enough! whatever the real reasons why NATO troops cannot have even remotely resembling a victory or success, A war dragging on for 10 years with no resolution in sight surely means they are doing everything wrong?

The Taliban still has not been defeated,warlords are are getting even more influential, Osama bin Laden has not been captured (if he STILL lives,that is),the Hamid Karzai government is getting more corrupt and undependable,drone air strikes into Pakistan are on the rise and even with heavy US support,the Pakistani Intelligence service seems to play a double game.

Meanwhile,boosted by the apparent resilience of the Mujahideen Islamist fighters,even more militants are slipping through the (very porous)borders. Numbers of Arabs,Pakistanis,Chechen and reportedly even some SEA militants are on the rise in Afghanistan,finding it harder to operate in Iraq.

All the Mujahideen has to do is simply to exist,they don't even have to operate extensively,unlike in the early years where all-out battles are frequent. Just sitting,inflicting some casualties and wait for the foreign troops that WILL eventually leave and later dealing with whatever government they have in Kabul at a the time.

Just like they did 30 years ago.....

Wow...major nit-picking there.....

anyway....I just call them Mujahids for simplicity's sake,just because people may be more familiar with the term....(western people have different names for them,most of it not so nice )

Weapons wise,no problems there....the AK-type weapons brought in 20-30 years ago should still be serviceable, although the Stingers probably ran out of battery by now but the rusty Soviet heavy machine Guns and light AA guns should still also be usable. New stocks of weapons and ammo brought across the border by the donkey-loads should be enough to sustain a low-level guerrilla warfare in the foreseeable future,sympathizers among wealthy Arab Princes (some genuinely hate the west,some are Osama's buddies) still pour in hundreds of thousands of dollars for the cause and experienced guerrilla fighters are coming in increasing numbers,most are from Chechnya and Former Soviet republics (Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan).

I agree with that,the Mujahideen was actually a general term used to describe Afghan Resistance fighters against Soviet occupation.

So,by that fact,I think it is fair to call the current Afghan fighters as Mujahideen (as a general term...I don't care what they call each faction as)

The whole Hog? Looks heavy alright.....or this is an EOD version?

Interceptor Personal Armor Full Set


Ahhh....now that's the whole hog!!!! Really does look like an actual suit of Armor.....

I see your point,the thigh and shoulder armor obviously would restrict movement and agility for the wearer.Very dangerous in a combat situation.


Ah...like this is more likely an "operational" loadout.....groin protectors in place to protect the 'little soldiers'....

All hail Space Cop Gavan!!!!

Maybe it's inspired by the Ninja Turtles' Battle Blimp?

TURTLE POWER!!!

Sebenarnya istilah stealth tu tak ada,biasa akan guna technical term "Low Observable".stealth ni sebenarnya takde la 100% undetectable,contohnya kalau ko nampak dengan mata kasar tu dah kira boleh detect la tu.pasal tu kebanyakannya berwarna hitam & biasanya beroperasi waktu malam.

Kalau nak cerita pasal undetectability by radar tu,itu yang paling penting.Sebenarnya permukaan stealth aircraft ni direka supaya tak ada permukaan yang sudut tepat (90 degrees),sebab permukaan macam tu akan balikkan radar waves kpd radar receiver. so kalau stealth plane tu kena radar wave,signal radar tu akan di 'deflect' ke tempat lain & bukan balik ke receiver dia.pasal tu la surface stealth aircraft tu akan samada berpetak-petak macam F-117....


F-117 Nighthawk

ataupun nipis & bulat macam B-2....


B-2 Spirit

Lagipun pesawat-pesawat macam ni akan samada guna Air-intake yang kecik ataupun bertutup untuk halang radar dari kesan turbine blade engine dia dan jet exhaust dia akan guna outlet paling kecik sekali yang boleh untuk elak dikesan oleh heat-seeking & infra-red sensors.lagi satu cat dia yang warna hitam tu ada bebola karbon yang boleh serap tenaga radar tu,dipanggil RAM (Radar Absorbing Material).tambah-tambah la keupayaan stealth sesuatu benda.

I'm sure these figures are the "Official" version ones.
we probably will never know the real RCS of these planes are actually....all hush-hush....

and in all probability,the RCS are larger than that,if not how do you suppose a AEW&C aircraft can control a squad of F-22s if even they couldn't see them?

Came across a weird trivia....

In a bizarre twist of Irony, it seems that during the filming of the movie Lord of War (about Arms deals and smuggling), the production actually bought 3000 AK-47 rifles as it is discovered that the actual rifles are much cheaper than prop guns.

Wonder where the 3000 Aks went to afterward.....


Lord of War Theatrical Poster.

whoa....pic is too blurry,can't make a positive ID....

J-20 Black Eagle huh?
No wonder the Japs and South Korea are tripping over themselves to buy F-22s and F-35s from Washington......
Anyone sense a massive Asian arms race in the offing?

Anyway;in Libya,the Technical RIDES AGAIN!!!!

Heavy Weapons carrier? personnel Carrier? YOU BETCHA!!!






PICKUP TRUCK WITH MULTIPLE ROCKET LAUNCHERS? YES PLEASE.....

So very true brother....

Perhaps Toyota can re-register itself as a military vehicle manufacturer with all those technicals cruising around....


Toyota here...


We can always fit one more...


same here...


last one....

somehow I feel there are more Toyota Technicals in the world than Army Land Rovers.....

so much so that the Libya-Chad 1987 war has been dubbed "The Great Toyota War" for the usage of technicals on all sides...
