  2. We invented how to make most microchips, then we got people pulling legal gymnastics to make it so we can't legally risk our people making them. Its some red tape because the chemicals can hurt people.

  9. Microchips the higher level higher quality ones are made in Taiwan, the rest in China. That's why China wants Taiwan because China also isn't the best at making microchips they are subpar. As a matter of fact China has people who's jobs are to with there all day removing microchips from old things to reuse them in the factories. This is Taiwan needs to be protected by the world at all costs per many government's. That's what I learned after watching 2 different hour long documentaries.

  10. Also, meanwhile now you know that although all these countries claim to have created new war tech, once in use they fail ie China and Russia. Because as we in the US know it takes decades and decades of development to get to the end product and even that is run in Cascade ie always in a cycle of testing, use and development. China is learning this the hard way because just because you can reverse engineer doesn't mean you know how to upgrade and fix it because if you aren't the one that created the tech you won't know all the tiny intricacies down to the exact metal composure of every single part individually.

  11. The standard in underslung grenade launchers and dedicated bloop toobs is 40mm. Colt made a primitive and relatively fragile underslung grenade launcher during the Vietnam war, mostly by the Special Forces and SEALs so they could have as much firepower in a small team that a full platoon would have. Regular squads had a dedicated grenadier who carried a single shot 40mm grenade launcher called the M-79. It looked a lot like a bigass sawed off shotgun. A safety feature built into the 40mm grenade is a delay mechanism where the shell doesn't arm itself until it's a certain distance away from the operator so they won't blow themselves up by accident if the shell hit a tree branch or something on the way to the target. Later, the M-79 was phased out and the grenadiers were armed with M-16's with the M-203 underslung. Now the Army uses a grenade launcher designed by H&K and the US Marine grenadiers use the MLKOR, a big ass revolver that shoots 40mm grenades. As a support weapon fired from tripods or vehicles, they have the Mark 19, which is a full auto (but slow rate of fire) 40mm grenade launcher that fires more powerful shells with a longer range. 40mm is bigger than 25mm, so it can hold more explosives, so the explosion is bigger, there's more shrapnel, 40mm is just better all around.
    In the US, a stand alone grenade launcher like an M-79 or MLKOR (or an M203 not mounted to a rifle) is regulated the same as a handgun. If you're 21 without a criminal record, you can buy one. The grenades are regulated a LOT more. If you have an explosive grenade, you have to have a special license and you have to pay a $200 tax for each grenade and there are strict requirements for storage, since it's explosive. Basically the same regulations as dynamite. They do have inert chalk practice rounds anyone can buy as long as the blank that propels the shell isn't installed. Blanks aren't regulated, either, because they're blanks.

  12. The coolest part of the OICW program is the optic that has all the bells and whistles and definitely inspired half the stuff they put in the new scope they're fielding for the M-5/7 and M-250. It has laser range finding, programmable target designation (up to ten different targets at different ranges), video feed, built in thermal, built in night vision, IR laser sight, and can send a signal to everyone up and down the chain of command, and automatically adjusts for temperature and barometric pressure.

  14. The Hague Convention of 1899 regulates exploding or expanding bullets. A lot of it is based on a document Abraham Lincoln wrote regulating the rules of war followed by the Union Army during the American Civil War. The British Dum Dum Arsenal in India made "Dum Dum" bullets which had an "X" engraved in their tip to make them expand when they hit their target. The Hague convention attendees thought that soft nose or hollowpoint (Dum Dum) bullets (like hunters use) were inhumane to use in warfare, so they outlawed them. The US and Great Britain didn't agree, so they didn't sign off on that part, but they still follow the rules, assuming that other countries they fight against will follow them, too. Of course police and citizens can use any ammo they want to and military police organizations can use hollowpoints, just not in warfare. And there are certain designs of bullets like Open Tip Match rounds used by snipers, which are technically hollowpoint, but designed for better accuracy, not greater lethality. The US has some really good lawyers. 🙂 A lot of the Hague Convention and following Geneva Convention rules were violated during WW1, like outlawing poisonous gas and other stuff about prisoners of war and medics.

  15. It's not a war-crime if you're the victor. I would just continue to develop the weapon and its systems despite the Geneva Convention because quite honestly, it's just the Geneva Checklist anyway.

  16. In my day of serving the M14 was the weapon of choice. Once the M16 came about, not impressed. So I found a WW 11 Ithaca Combat 37 12 gauge shotgun, 9 shot, of, 00 Buck-shot. Gold hunting scenes on each side. One side of Fowl hunting, other Big Game hunting. Loaded from the bottom, ejected from same. No more loading clips in the dark. Try that at night for the M14 or M16. Thats never in the movies!

  20. The number one reason it failed was that 20mm grenades weren't lethal enough. The 40mm launcher under the M-16 was much more effective and already in service. I think it was a minimum of 25mm before the grenade was combat effective. See the XM25 CDTE. So far, they've stuck with the 40mm.

  24. Stuff like this is why the US is so deeply in debt, and why the government is constantly pulling it's "we need to extend the debt limit, or we'll have to stop paying everyone but the politicians" BS.
