u not looking hard enuf

usmc is already working on saw replacement, the IAR while the army is doing their best to waste public money on some convoluted mg design.

china oso had its take on IAR. HK is working on its take on machine gun that can fulfill both lmg and gpmg role while russia have already started deveopment for pk mg replacement

Not to mention other countries like czech, polen, south africa and even pakistan who each had either started new mg development or already come up with new design to replace their old ones

pic is china new lmg

Not many countries use M60 anymore. Even in us military it is only used as secondary weapon mounted on vehicle. better example is MG3 or FN-MAG/M240

While it is true, the reason is more to do with logistics. if it is a solid weapon, people has not many reason to replace them

I could see to trends of future mg ;ether people use heavy barreled version of assault rifle as LMG (like IAR) or GPMG that weigh about as much as today's LMG like MG5

this pipu have fought 2 wars and numerous armed conflict for the last 15 yrs. so i believe they know exactly what they need on the field compared to other militaries

IAR, despite the apparent shortcoming, actually has solid reasoning with it. From the past experience in afghanistan and iraq, they learned that
>they dun really need m249 interchangeable barrel and other overbuilt feature during routine combat patrol, reducing weight
>it might be better to spread the ammo load to entire squad than 2 pipu carrying the mg and ammo belt
>the marines are never too far from support elements, so if they need something bigger ,they just call for fire suport
>surefire mag is a thing now

Besides the concept itself is never new. RPD and HK-21 are mgs that adapted the design from a service rifle while nowadays that polen new rifle and CZ805 oso have lmg variant

This is why those flips couldn't be trusted with handling those mundus/kidnappers

there's at least half dozen shipbuilder in malaysia. some can build bigger patrol boats like perlih marine engineering or labuan shipyard. if we simply go to commercial grade ship, plenty can do it but navy want mil grade ship

oso, indon has plenty of islands so shipbuilding is naturally their strength. the flips oso had larger shipbuilding industry than us although they focus mostly on civilian ship like roro ferry and bulk carrier

there's a thing called hot load ammo, with increased gunpowder

i dunno abt glock (bcos glock, depend on model, can use +P ammo), but if use lower grained ammo on mp5 may cause it to jam or not cycle properly (tho can adjust gas regulator) and using higher grained ammo on pistol(especially those not rated for hot load ammo) may cause the chamber (or barrel) to explode

same goes with civvie .223 ammo vs military 5.56mm ammo or civvie .308 ammo vs 7.62mm NATO ammo. dimensionally very similar but different grain

even the issued handgun is not standardized, how to standardize ammo?

I have several friends who worked as a policemen and each and every one of them are issued different handgun. my pulis friend in kk is issued with steyr, the one in jb uses sig sauer while my friend in klang use revolver. yes a revolver

mp5 use hotter load ammo and some pistol cannot use this type of ammo

The issue isn't about the gun "can" fire or not. Some revolver can fire multiple types of caliber

It's about safety. when the manufacturer specifically say dun specific type of ammo (like hot load ammo). u don't use it. period. Increased pressure on gun can damage the mechanism, screw up the chamber and even explode. hotter load oso kicks harder and harder to control.

mp5 can use hotter load not only because it is heavier, but also longer and the barrel is thicker and the action is derived from assault rifle and not simple straight blowback like most handgun. if use lower pressure ammo on mp5 the gun may not cycle properly and have to adjust the gas regulator.

Wow this much hate

wif the rate of c130 that keep falling off the sky, no wonder they want something newer

hodoh sial

even fuсking congo got attack helo

ahahah no

lockmart specifically block raytheon APG-83, saying that if they wanna put that in FA-50, they need to put it in KF-16 as well

Selex radar can use even tho it is also aesa radar

comparable with gripen in term of performance tho.

no not really

believe it or not gripen was developed as a trainer/light attack aircraft as well,back when they were considering F-16 and even F/A-18, before they went back to the drawing board and decided they wanted a proper fighter instead

the only reason why FA-50 aren't as advanced as Gripen (especially latter variant) is that the korean wanted them more as secondary fighter and not as their top line fighter, but i believe it can be further developed to match gripen (especially if it used better engine like eurojet or F414). even as it is now in term of performance, it already close to gripen

swingrole (which is just added aspect of multirole capability) depends largely on the avionics. As it is today, FA-50 use APG-67, similar to older F-16 but with APG-83 and Litening pod, it could do the same

rtaf will operate T-50 as well (as well as gripen), so we can see how big it is side by side with gripen when they got it

?

depends la.do they use proper heat warhead or just shoot whatever they have? this is irregular forces, basically civilian given a gun and told to fuсk some shit.

oso, most of the weapon and munition was from iran-iraq war. who knows if it would still be effective, and there's no way iraq can still maintain its logistic after they was put under heavy sanction by UN. buy medicine oso kenot, how can buy spare parts ?

besides nowadays we ghave better rpg warhead then what was used by iraqi forces. we have tandem HEAT that can penetrate up to 800mm steel, smart warheads with proximity fuse, even thermobaric warhead that can really fuсk people inside out as well as anti bunker types

kek military purchase where got taxes

on unrelated note, russia is going to replace their Su-25 with a new attack plane based on Yak-130
