Frosted Flake posted:Fuses. Huh. Interesting. I guess you couldn't have electrical detonators in a missile that sits in a sub for a decade for reliability issues. Seems like you could sub in pentaerythritol tetranitrate fuzes or something but that might have its own issues

Isentropy posted:how many of those liberator pistols could you make from an ar-15? Looks like an ar15 weighs about 6.5 times as much as a liberator pistol but some of that is probably not useable steel. I think you could probably make 3 or 4 pig iron liberators outta one but they'd probably just explode on the first shot

lol every time the red faced thumb people vote for another 4 years of tories the country gets a little poorer and weaker causing them to react in anger and voting for even more tories kinda like how Thatcher, the hero of smart economically minded people, was the person that started the downfall. To think that the IRA tried so hard to kill her. Regarde Aduck has issued a correction as of 20:23 on Apr 26, 2023 |

US hegemony is bad but hoo boy just wait until the people whose comfortable lives depend on it wake up and smell the imperial decline, it'll make the post 9/11 hysteria look like a fun joke

Anyway, the state of the RN is 1:1 because of Thatcher, which goes back to British Tories (voters) destroying every source of national pride by not understanding Tories (politicians, capital).

a significant portion of the other British aircraft carrier's nominal fighter complement are literally Americans, as in, American aviators flying American aircraft and operating under American command, which is to say that if and when the ship does anything at all it is only because the US has deigned to allow them to functionally it's just an American ship the Americans don't have to pay for, and this is the 'pride' of the once-mighty Royal Navy, lmao
