Basically. What's always bugged me about it isn't that obviously they aren't, but in some circles it was used as some kind of damning evidence that civilian casualties are made up. She may well believe they are if her house got shot up and she found ejected or dropped rounds on the ground.

We did a detailed piece on these recently, seems a lot of the bombs are based on 40mm grenades

Yeah my guess would be that the controllers got overrun. Do you know how they manage the 40mm fuses? I thought they needed to detect an initial impact then a bunch of rotations to even arm.

It looks like in this example they replaced the fuze, although in earlier examples they had designs that may have been intended to impart spin.

This wouldn't work, BTW, since the fuze also has a ~10-15 second self-destruct timer that starts at either launch or spin-up.

Maybe the idea is to just have them hang back and be missile boats while F-35s and F-22s designate targets for them.

The 2040C is an upgrade to current F-15Cs. There's the Silent Eagle, which has a reduced RCS, but that's a new-build aircraft that nobody seems terribly interested in. The USAF certainly isn't. The 2040C's big selling points are radar upgrades, improved jamming/self protection, adding the F-22 datalink, adding conformal fuel tanks, and doubling the air-to-air loadout to 16 missiles.

7.92x33mm is still in limited military and commercial manufacture due to the number of states that have used them until present day (especially in Africa) and the presence of civilian 7.92mm firearms. It's obviously a lot harder to get than 7.62x39mm, but it's not exactly gold.

Hypothetically, if one were to show up in the US with a crate full of STG 44, how much would the ATF freak the gently caress out?

The full auto civilian registration, the NFA registry, was frozen with the 1986 "firearm owners protection act".....sooooo you can't bring in and/or register any full auto firearm for the civilian market :(.

Fixed supply and big demand for full auto is why everything costs in the tens of thousands or more. I think the cheapest full auto giggle switch toy you can get is a mac10 or some poo poo for around $6000 last time I checked.

And then you also have to live in a state that allows full auto.

And then on top of all that I forget what it's called but there's some laws about importation of firearms and whether or not they pass the "sporting arms purpose" test, which is an arbitrary number of cosmetic features. I'm a bit rusty in this so someone correct me if need be.

Usually those dudes have buddies that are class 3 dealers so they can play around with all that poo poo, or have someone on production team who is.

How hard is it to become a class 3 dealer? If you become a class 3 dealer for the sole purpose of legally owning a post ban machine gun would the ATF skull gently caress you?

Not from what I have been told.

Basically, as long as you fill out the paperwork, pay the fees and pass the background check, they don't give a gently caress.

But that may also be old/bad info.

As a class 3 dealer any post 1986 ban automatic you acquire with a giggleswitch is never technically yours, it's a "dealer sample" and it is attached to your business. There's other strings too, like your "business" has to fulfill certain obligations for it to count as a business.
