Iirc they kept using brass in their cannons into the 18th century compared to western cast iron and they painted them in garish ways for their false gods. Easier for British forces to blow up or parade these things around back in Britain than actually use them.
It’s for young kids. The safety is too hard for them to turn on their own, the one round mag means they can’t bump fire by mistake, and the gun is scaled down 20% so it’s easier for them to hold.
I hope they throw all the XM7s into a fucking volcano. Also hope they melt down the all tooling for the cartridge and make paperclips with it.
We are getting Zoomer M14 edition of weapon procurement.
I thought that the main disadvantage of bronze cannons was how much more expensive the material was in comparison to the cast iron cannons that were eventually made when the material science was good enough to have a low risk of barrel explosion.
Not the first time that has ever happened. I recall how Remington worked really hard to cover up the dangerous design defect with the 700 series, that would cause it to discharge without pulling the trigger.
Gotcha. I hope they get sued into the fucking ground regardless, this shit should’ve stopped when LEOs and civvies were having issues with the P320, when PEOPLE DIED. And now the army finally realizes this isn't a one off problem with one bad series, the entirety of Sig's products past the P320 could be completely fucked. I can't wait until they have to explain why their overpressured, garbage 277 fury turns rifle barrels into pipe bombs.
The M7 is officially adopted by the army already, but that's the funny part: hardly any units have adopted them because they're fucking garbage. The 277 fury is overpressured ammo that destroys barrels in less then 2000 rounds. For context, it took roughly 300-500 rounds during the Iraq war to kill one insurgent in long distance combat. The heavy machine guns that Sig designed to replace the M250? Also garbage, because Sig, in a race to win the contract, made the barrel impossible to hot swap to keep it within the requested guidelines for the US Army. You NEED that barrel to be hot swapp-able because it's job is to lay down supression fire or turn the enemy into mulch for long periods of time. And once again, the 277 fury is garbage, so imagine putting that fucker into combat and having to swap out barrel after barrel after barrel. It's not practical AT ALL.
I haven’t heard of any QC issues with the M5 yet, but they’re undoubtedly going to show up as they get mass produced and shipped out to grunts. Really the main issue is that it is a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist and a downgrade from the M4 in a lot of respects. Given how crooked Sig is I wouldn’t be surprised if this whole operation was devised to Jew the U.S. government (and by extension, the taxpayer) out of billions of dollars.
Swapping to the M4 is most likely because it's the only other widely available weapon on base. Base armories aren't very big (with a few exceptions, but it's Global Strike so there's most likely just an LRS armory, a Security Forces armory, and a CATM armory), so when the M18 was adopted, the M9 inventory was most likely shipped to Robins AFB. OSI agents were carrying the P226 when the M9 was the standard issue for everyone else, not sure if they changed their service weapon or not, but they wouldn't have enough to let everyone required to arm take theirs.
I just want to know whose idea was it to strap a fucking computer of a scope onto grunts rifles, cause those are NOT going to last a week in heavy combat, I guarentee you. To quote the old addage: If you design something to be idiot proof, the world will simply create a better idiot.
I didn't buy a P365 because sig is being run in the most talmudic way possible
Because nobody knows 100% why it's going off, yes. Either Israeli-carry with an empty chamber or get something else. Everyone who got shot was carrying it just fine up until it went off.
Dead trigger that lead to touching the bolt dropping the striker, more shit parts. That on top of the barrels sucking ass for accuracy.
And then there are people like me who are apparently anathema to machine spirits no matter how well you treat them and technology will malfunction in your presence. This issue is only compounded by being surrounded by retards who will try to break things because they don't know any better.
Amazing how no matter the subject, Redditors can be accurately predicted to act like complete retard fanboys completely allergic to any criticism or critical thought.
