I'm gonna post the regia nave Roma, a battleship so scary for the Nazis, that they sunk it (with the first guided bomb) a day after Badoglio made Italy pass with the allies.

You know that the bloc didn't designate the ak as an assault rifle because the term was unheard of back then?

That sure sent the wops a message. The Krauts fucking annihilated you guys after that sissy surrendered.

Iron dome for sure man

Tell me about it, I love how it can be used for direct fire too.

How is that not accurate? Engesa had invested its complete budget into the tank and the tank failed to sell because of American political pressure.

>and the tank failed to sell because of American political pressure
This is the inaccurate part. It failed to sell because ENGESA invested everything into the tank- and tried to sell it to Iraq. It was this, and the concerns about ENGESA's production capacity (They'd never built a tank before, and the Brazillian army wasn't buying) that sank the vehicle.

P.s.,here in Italy we use the name "badoglio" to refer to a traitor, or someone switching sides.

probably the harrier or the vulcan

Did you read a single thing I said? Why on earth would you buy an MBT from a company that's circling the drain, and just tried to sell to a country that was peddling the same tank to the regional menace.

There's just something about this plane. As far as aerial control goes it totally dominates other airplanes. Seriously. The F-35 may be more advanced in its electronics and Russia or China may have some half-baked competitor but for everything else in a fighter the F-22 is unparalleled. It's a shame they were designed and developed perfectly but then we lost the opponent they were designed to beat, and so we didn't need 1000 of them so we only have 200 of them in stock.

It's a beautifully alien looking plane. If you ever get the chance to see one in action you should definitely do it. You'll realize that the pilot is using maybe 10% of its potential in an airshow.

If there's one thing it doesn't have it's armament endurance. The internal bay does not carry that many missiles. Such is the result of having the radar signature of a robin.

We actually had a legal dispute with Heckler and Koch. We won.

Nice. I read a little of that page you posted, seems like HK realized that while you boys copied their (sexy) design the internals were totally different so there wasn't grounds for a lawsuit. How German of them.

I hear they make great submarines.

Eh... I think the concept of an assault rifle evolved to include AKs and MP44s in the same sense that assault rifle can cover what we refer to on this board as battle rifles, or for the ARFCOM boomers MBRs, it's a broader catch all. Remember that the first firearm chambered in 7.62x39 in general issue was the RPD way back in '45. I don't think anyone would consider that a belt fed SMG based on it's cartridge. I will piggy back on your comment to say that I sincerely believe the Hungarian AMD Tanker is a top-5 SMG and I know I could catch shit for putting it in that category but it kind of works given the nature of it's role.

It's truly in your nation's blood to bantz.

It was only a machinepistol in name. The designers of the StG literally called it the MP-44 because Hitler was so fanatical about full power rifle cartridges and bolt actions, being the oldschool WWI vet he was, but accepted that a Machinenpistole could be automatic. The StG was literally developed in secret under Hitler's nose. Turned out he fucking loved the gun after it was revealed to him.

I've got a 20" AR that I've consider turning into a C7 clone but I can't find the proper furniture anywhere.

The F-22 I think will be most historically relevant for being unrivaled for such a large period of time. Competitors are arriving now, but for a good 10-15 years nothing came close to it's capabilities.

Using the Bofors 40mm is kind of cheating, so I'll go for the tank that made everyone lose their shit at because it wasn't a tank and yet it kept beating everything that was a tank.

Except I'm 100 percent correct. The Saudis had 2 options. Either buy a tank that's used by both the United States and Egypt already, made by your biggest ally that supports you, and is maybe marginally worse (If even that, armor wasn't tested and it's likely the Osorio was not exemplary in that department). The other option is to buy an untested MBT that's being made by a company that's never made an MBT before, who is trying to sell the tank to Iraq, your biggest regional rival, and is circling the drain with no domestic buy in. The correct choice is clear, and the Saudis made it.

I hope they shoot them before they jump into my country.

Knowing Russians 3 of the migs would be unable to take off 1 would be to drink to fly and crash 2 would suffer engine or structural failure once they entered a dog fight and the last one would get blown out of the sky while frantically looking for the f22 because his radar cant pick it up and he doesnt realize it fired a missle from BVR

The Germans didn't invent the concept, though.

The rules for what constitutes a 'full-sized rifle cartridge' and 'pistol cartridge' are 100% arbitrary, so the intermediate cartridge thing is a big fat fallacy.

The fact of the matter is that weapons like the Fedorov Avtomat fill all the physical requirements of what constitutes an assault rifle, utilizing a cartridge weaker than their standard for rifles for the express purpose of making the gun more controllable.

We run into similar arguments in other fields of study, such as with Tanks. Some people refuse to acknowledge that the Panther was a 'medium' tank because it was so much heavier than other medium tanks of the era. But it was deployed as a medium, so...

It was a joke, bud.

I don't think most people would agree that the best ak type rifle is necessarily the best assault rifle

Pistol grip was literally never a requirement of being called an assault rifle.

The Fedorov Avtomat was also select fire.

"Intermediate cartridge" is arbitrary. The FA used a scaled down cartridge for the express purpose of practicality. I explained this in my last post.
