Lol and they're talking about going back to the F15 for situations requiring dog fighting

Could be because of fighting capabilities or because it costs less if they lose one.

It's the capabilities. The 22 and 35 can't dog fight worth shit compared to the Ruskie fighter

The 22's only advantage is its stealth, and the 35 with its technology

Russians can see you (you are trying to hide)

And they can move

We can see a B2 Spirit on British Radar

In these situations you are not fighting dudes with Camels and Hilux's

Can the f35 dogfight? It looks very large and bulky

Not very slick and streamlined

It's not meant for it, it takes you out long before you even know it's there.

Wasn't the F 22 designed for the same purpose though?

apart from the VTOL, what does the F35 contribute?

It does literally every job.

That's why it's so expensive.

The F35 is like a combat controller for the air

You would send it out with other aircraft for practically every job

The F-35 was designed to not have to dogfight

It was designed to stay hidden

It's designed to be a giant fucking waste of money.

@Fitzydog if it’s not meant to dogfight, why not just make more A-10s?

They're already ahead of you, in a sense

Can infantry based aa even hit turboprop aircraft? @Fitzydog

🤷🏼

Only one way to find out

Hispano 20mm when

It's P-51 TIME MOTHER FUCKERS!

@wdt15 No real reason to

Not for 9x19

I'll probably buy another barrel anyways for an additional slide; since I don't wanna keep swapping parts between them

but it's not for handloading related reasons

maybe if I had a gen1/2 barrel it might matter but the chamber is pretty well supported all around

How fast does your loads go out of a 16in barrel?

I'm not seeing any base dimples at all

I don't run any 9x19 carbines

out of a 4" my 124gr noslers are hitting about 1150 without going /real/ +p

the 115's are super fast at around 1300

I plan on getting a PC9 for HD just because I live in Kaliforniastan and there's literally no good 5.56 carbines that aren't fucked by the dumbshit laws here.
