stephenthinkpad posted:I have never touched a machine gun (only shot some handgun with cousin) but doesn't this just make the handling of the gun heavier? When hiking, you want to carrier the heavy and least used items around the center core of your body because its the most energy efficient way to carry weight. it's a trade off that most people make for having a bigger clip and a more manoeuvrable weapon that expels shell casings ambidextrously (honestly idk, i just think it's cool engineering)

Muscle Wizard posted:helical mags are cooler though fact so I was surfing the youtube this morning and caught this interview about the PLAAF on Military Aviation History and thought I'd contribute to gunchat. Figured the thread might want to hear what the western think tanks are saying about the PLAAF these days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQedM3qBXgc

Forgottenweapons has a good video on the topic. The P90 was designed around a cartridge, the 5.7mm, that was made from the ground up to feed through its weird operating mechanism. One characteristic of the 5.7mm cartridge is that it has a completely flat cylindrical casing, with no taper or neck, so it can stack evenly inside the straight magazine. The HK G11 had a similar system and it used a rectangular cartridge with the bullet entirely encased in propellant. All commonly used rifle cartridges that I know of are tapered with a neck, some more heavily than others, hence an AK has a longer, more curved "banana" magazine than an M16, because the 7.62x39mm cartridge is a shorter thicker casing with more taper than the 5.56mm. So no common rifle caliber would work with the P90s feed mechanism, and a rifle cartridge with no taper or neck may have problems properly chambering and sealing inside the chamber that a tiny pistol cartridge like the 5.7mm wouldn't. It's likely an engineering dead end.

A lot of weird stuff goes into making it run properly.

I am reading Rush Doshi's The Long Game: China's Grand Strategy to Displace American Order, which goes over China's 3 stages of grand strategic in recent decades in detail. This bit comes up quote:Under the cover of dark on a cool Friday morning in June 1989, National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft boarded a C-141 military cargo plane at 5 A.M. and took off from Andrews Air Force Base for a secret mission to Beijing. The trip was intended to stabilize bilateral ties roughly three weeks after the People’s Liberation Army had opened fire on student protesters in Tiananmen Square, and much about it was unusual. To maintain secrecy, Scowcroft needed a plane like the C-141 that could be refueled midair and that would not need to land. To accommodate Scowcroft and his two companions, the C-141 needed to be specially outfitted with a deceptively named “comfort pallet” with bunks and seats. And to reduce the risk of a military incident, the plane needed to have its Air Force markings removed and its military crew outfitted in civilian attire." I knew Bush Sr sent a letter to Deng to basically gave him support, which the Japanese also did quickly following Bush's lead, I didn't know Bush sent in secret messenger to do it again. 1989 really was a completely different world. The US had no idea Soviet was cracking under its own weight very soon and would do anything to spoil any Sino-Soviet relationship. Here is the funny part: quote:"In a February 1989 meeting with President Bush, Deng focused intently on the Soviet threat. Border clashes, nuclear weapons, and the presence of thirty Soviet divisions on China’s border made large-scale war possible. He wrapped his concerns in history. “Japan did the most damage” to China, Deng recounted to Bush, but it was the Soviet Union that took “three million square kilometers” of Chinese territory.16 “Those over fifty in China remember that the shape of China was like a maple leaf. Now, if you look at the map,” Deng explained, “you see a huge chunk of the north cut away” by the Soviets.1..." So basically Deng was telling Bush and the Americans one thing and completely different thing to his cadres. He could very well meant the things he said about Soviet, I can't tell. Bottom line Deng was a very good poker player, literally and figuratively. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Scowcroft was telling Deng Washington was in full support of Beijing, while CIA was doing color revolution activities behind his back at full speed. Because it would be the most typical American thing to do.

It's not enough for Kim to get thin, he also needs to get ripped. I want to see some gains as proof of Juche's scientific prowess.

Well Biden tried to send Yellen over but China said no, so Biden sent John Kerry over to do """climate change""" talk and China just let him Skype some people so Biden is not getting anywhere. Pretty similar to Xi and Trump's back-and-fore before their first phone call. But Biden think he is some kind of foreign policy master so he is going to drag this one out for a while until he has to deal.
