To be fair the M-16 had a shit tonne of issues when it was first rolled out and it ended up being a fairly decent rifle in the end.

i mean he’s a former presidant and they are already trying to take everything from him and throw him in jail forever, not to mention all the other shit they did over the last 8 years.
Short of killing him they can’t do anything else. There is 0 risk to what Trump is doing.

The majority of the issues actually turned out to be ammunition problems.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has declared a state of emergency. The Ohio River Valley is expected to get buttfucked by a tornado outbreak today and tonight.

Not to mention he has spent his entire life with it all.

Almost like there's a lot that can go wrong when you put a small bomb in a confined space, both designed and constructed by the lowest bidder.

That rifle was designed by people hired for competency and merit, and had come out of WW2.
This rifle is being designed in the era of D.I.E.
They have gone back to before Vietnam era on that then.
As the M14 and early M16A1 used 20 round magazines.
So no progress in a sense.

If any autists would like more info, here is today's convective outlook from the National Weather Service.
Severe weather but nothing extraordinary, IMO.

Don't worry the MSM will blame global warming and make it seem like a direct response to you personally not eating the bugs and living in the pod.
Extreme weather in the tornado alley? It must be all those rednecks driving trucks!

A big part of why is case geometry. Rifle cases tend to taper before the neck so as they stack they tend to curve. Curved mags and mag springs tend to do funny things to reliability. Its more pronounced of a problem with longer cases. Most common ar-10 and G3 mags are 20 rounders as well, as the .277 fury/6.8 NGSW ammo becomes more common and the boots on the ground bitch about muh 30-rounders expect the after market to pick up the slack like Mec-gar did with the 18 round M-9 mags.

They have made 100 round AK mags, pretty incredible.
Not sure how reliable they aren't, but I've had 40 for AR and AK that worked fine and are pretty curved too.

Dem clients of daughter of NY judge in Trump hush-money trial raised $93M off the case
Two major Democratic clients of the daughter of the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush-money trial have raised at least $93 million in campaign donations — and used the case in their solicitation emails — raising renewed concerns that the jurist has a major conflict of interest.
Trump’s attorneys are considering filing another motion demanding Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan recuse himself from the trial set to begin April 15, sources said.

"New", yes. SIG took 7.62mm NATO, necked it down to 6.8mm, and then changed the dimensions of the cartridge case juuust enough so its technically a brand new round. Wildcatters have already done something similar, and you could probably safely fire those same wildcat designs out of a gun chambered in this. Also, Kiwis need to keep in mind there's two different versions of this round intended for the military: one with the steel base that's for 80,000 PSI, and a low-pressure version that's just plain brass for qualifications and training. There will be ammo for this gun on the civilian market.
What, you Kiwis expected brilliance as opposed to an overcomplicated bare minimum with a massive price tag attached? In today's US military?

Many such cases. The US Gov loves to throw troops into meat grinders with weapons that...might work.

I'm just interested in how this doesn't end up with the pressure blowing out along the seam where the "steel base" is attached.
Fuck.. maybe I shouldn't ask.. I'm expecting some level of 737 maxx magic words.

For all I know they just use thinner brass in that area and then put a steel jacket over it. That's how I would do it. All they need is for the base of the round to withstand the pressure spike from the initial combustion since once the projectile starts making its way down the barrel you get a massive pressure drop due to the increased volume, even with powder that does a full burn until it leaves.

It's a different doctrine of rifle, like the M1 or M14. It's a Battle Rifle not an assault rifle, focusing on single shots(though this does have auto, it'll probably be used a lot less than the M4/16) at longer range and with more power.
The big deal with the round is the case, using a hybrid of steel base and brass sidewalls. It's just to give the case the strength at the base for the crazy pressure they pumped into it. 0.277 Fury is all brass iirc. The round is like .17hmr or 5.7, crazy high muzzle velocity for better accuracy.
Works well with what is supposedly the big deal about this rifle, which is the scope. It's supposed to have a digital reticle and can laser range find and wind adjust to put where the bullet will hit on the reticle. How well it actual works I'm really curious about, but it finally seems to have satisfied the Army's insane requirement for improved accuracy. Previously, they've demanded 100% increase in accuracy to justify replacement. That was the point of 3 round burst, just improve accuracy per trigger pull by throwing three bullets down range each time, they even once stuck a second bullet in the case for that. The worst was a polymer case "sabot" round that fired four sabots that were actually just a normal sized bullet split in four like a pie.
If this scope is legit, than they can stick any 3rd world illegal they conscript with one and barely have to teach them how to aim to blow our brains out, just put our head where the scope tells you to.

Liberals are reflexively defending this shitbag.
It's not like he kidnapped her or anything. An illegal alien just bodied someone and dumped them on the side of the road. Why the clamor?

I guess that bloodbath thing against Trump didn't work out so well. He chewed that up and spit it back in their faces. lol.

>This young lady was a victim of domestic violence. That’s what we need to talk about with this incident
They won't even talk about that because non-whites are more abusive to their partners than whites
hell, lesbians are more abusive than whites.
