It's being replaced by another traditional AK style rifle kinda like the AK-16 or whatever it is that Russia uses, not much here is purely original

Only sucky part of the 338 Norma is it's way heavier than 762

They should build a plant in America to run their arms program

Well if you dump 15 rds of 6.5 into someone with body armor does cartridge size really matter?

Them and Russia are retarded for not doing it

They have the same law about stuff has to be built local

338 norma is a little bit stronger than 6.8

Way longer range too lmao

1.5k effective point I think

4 times more energy than 762 at 1k

Didn't say anything about stealth technology though<:smugpepe:445634631950139403>

You talking airforce?

China probably isnt a huge shining beacon of that

I mean here in China all their weapons etc are local. But the technology is often copied

What they really lack is combat experience

Last real war was in 79

I have no clue how our guys stay as good as they do

Got a handful who have seen action in East Africa, that's about it

I think they dont really train either

Well we are always at war. We have a lot of experience, and that reflects in our training

We dont do a lot, but what we did do often surprised me

PLA trains a lot but there's a divide between doctrine and experience

Moving target range at Benning was tits

And the most senior people here, when they were coming up half of their training was political

Ahh

They also dont have an nco corp right?

I always forget that is a European thing

That basically half the people in the platoon could take over for an LT and half that could make a decent cpt if absolutely required

That is one reason arabs wont win vs jewistan

At least not until they fix it

It's not like ours. They're still squad leaders etc but not as independent and powerful as ours

Yeah I didnt really realize why the sgt majors were so hard on training till I got out and read more

They really need to teach more fucking history

A senior NCO is kinda like a tech warrant here, a junior NCO ain't shit, more like just a senior E4

So it's still basically non existent

E4s could be trained well but they really put the screws to you as an E5

They hold the same billets as us, but not the same kinda status. It's not considered a real career position

You're not a careerist here unless you're an officer
