Triple Stack Magazines

No.63936368 View ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
This is a rant thread.

It bothers me to no end that triple stack magazines can not be made. If they were possilble, we could have 50+ round capacity 5.7 pistols and mag-in-grip PDWs. A machine pistol could fire continuously for longer than the current 1.5 seconds or so. They might actually become useful. We could triple stack large case head cartridges that preclude quad-stacking, like 308. Those could use 40+ round mags. It would be sick. But no, it’s just a property of the universe than magazines must stack in powers of two.

Italy to retire Tornados from nuclear strike role.

No.63937595 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Yesterday at Ghedi AB there was the ceremony for the transfer of the last few Tornado IDS of the 154º Gruppo Diavoli Rossi (Red Devils) to the 155th Gruppo ETS Pantere Nere (Black Panthers) (SEAD/DEAD, EW)
The 154th will now fly only F-35As and they will take on the nuclear strike role with the B-61 nuclear bombs.
A special livery for the event was made showing the traditional Red Devil flag and Insigna.
The 155th gruppo will be the last squadron in Italy that will fly the Tonka up until the phase out in 2027-2028.

any fags here both into guns and art?
M4 I've been sketching as part of a Punisher drawing that I want to paint over later. bit of a pain as I had to rely on old super low res supplementary material from an ARMS instruction manual, don't think I've ever seen anyone use this handguard with the M203 mount in the wild
