It's an HK; that's been the standard photo shoot for decades.

Bingo. Also of note, the Pak Taliban recently killed several workers administering vaccinations because of the leaked connection between that program and finding certain HVI's. Words have consequences, and secrets are supposed to stay secret.

You sure about that?

France isn't helping the rebels in this case. AQIM in northern Mali is a serious enemy; we'll see how successful this spring offensive is.

Are you talking about the lack of water or the floride issue with water which is why housing gives out free 5 gallon water drums to residents? ETA: not a Clovis resident, just got an earful from a buddies wife.

That helps a ton, thanks for the SA. I'm surprised the BX on Lackland doesn't sell weapons, the one on Eglin is actually pretty good and Im hoping they haven't been paying attention to the rising prices so I can score something decent when I go home next week; assuming the 7 SFG guys haven't bought it out yet. I'm kicking myself for passing on a few really cool .22's last time I was there. Thanks again for the rundown of KSAT area ranges, just looking to do some plinking with family.

M2, I'll be in San Antonio in the next few days. Can you recommend a good shooting range? Also curious if it's worth looking on base at Lackland or any of the bases to see if they seek decent guns in the BX. Thanks.

Beware: I bought a gun on gunbroker.com by calling the seller (had to get some questions answered first) and dealing with him directly. Was promised the gun, but then didn't hear back from seller with the address he wanted me to send money to. Looked online and noticed the seller had put the item back up (taken off after our deal) & relisted the item, which is now 800$ more than the original buy now price. I think this d bag is cashing in on the gun fear. I'll handle the complaint with gunbroker, but be wary. People with no ethics are cashing in.

Yea, I don't want to ignite the DI v piston thing, I already bought it; plus there are quality and shitty manufactures for either op system. Not a debate i care about. Just wanted to see if anyone had one for a while and issue _______ (insert whatever) presented itself. Thanks for the answer.

Maybe the same people who think banning the sale of pistol grips and flash hiders for semi-auto rifles will prevent school shootings?

So I kind of jumped on the "gun ban fear" bandwagon by throwing down for a LWRC M6A2; it's not cheap but I had been contemplating it for a while and after watching rifles increasing in price I just said fuck it. Anyone own one or any LWRC product? I've been a stalker on the LWRCI forums, but would appreciate info from here.

I have a USP 9 full size & Sig 226, so not .40 but still a comparison betwee full size offerings from each manufacturer. Both good weapons, so you won't have any QC issues but there are clear differences between the two and if I could only have one it would be the USP, no doubt. The HK has a much better trigger, it feels lighter and quicker. I found the HK factory sights superior to the night sights that came with my Sig, but have since bought trijicon sights for both, so no issues there. The slide release is harder to reach on the HK and awkaward to operate the first few times. I'm accustomed to it now, but it's a bit weird at first and an area where the Sig will feel more natural. I also bought my USP when HK was still doing that ridiculous proprietary rail on the bottom instead of standardizing it with pretty much everyone else in the industry, so attachments are more expensive. That said, if you buy a newer HK design like the P30L (which I'm looking at now, but haven't bought yet) the rails are standard. No issues with the Sig WRT rail interface. Both are easy to take down. Both point and balance well, although the clear winner in feel and draw is the HK to me. The things that put the USP over the Sig IMO are the trigger, the weight and balance, I like having a safety over just a decode like the Sig, the factory sights and I also much prefer the mag release. The USP literally shoots the mags out and gives a very audible click when they are fully inserted. The Sig is fine, but nothing special. Hope that comparison helps. Note that all things HK (like new mags) will be more expensive. Worth it in my book.

Looks pretty good.

It says "should not" not "can't."

Thanks for the SA. I wish I could have done weapons school, seems pretty cool.

What happens during ME? I know nothing about red flag/nellis/WIC, etc. Wish I did, but I don't.

What is auto GCAS?

And 18 hours after the best news I've heard in a long time comes the first complaint; aircrew standard. This is why we can't have nice things.

Hiding in plain sight! That's some next level secret squirrel shit!

Valid, good feedback. I've been watching YouTube videos of the new Tavor that's about to be released, it's hard to buy sight unseen but I'm actually leaning towards that over the AUG. I've been told the trigger is a bit better than the AUG due to a metal group instead of plastic. I know it can't compete with my SSA, but still looks awesome.

You're assuming he doesn't already have one.

I've shot the M17, I didnt know they still made those! My brother had one about 10 years ago we plinked with. Ive heard this said about bullpup triggers, including the AUG (although supposedly there is a trigger tamer aftermarket available) but can't remember how the trigger felt on the M17. Is it really that bad? I just put a SSA on my AR, and it's great, but the trigger wasn't awful before. So are we talking bad like standard AR bad? Or are we talking bad like squirt gun bad?

Please educate me, which historical NEO did the marines require organic FW CAS because the AF was unwilling or unable to provide outselves? When has the MAGTF actually been used completely by itself and required the full spectrum of its capability? I'm not being a dick, I really don't know. If that has happened, school me.

Anyone have any bullpup experience? I'm looking at the new AUG A3 NATO which takes standard AR mags. Also I've heard Tavor is going to make a US appearance.

What's the name of the mode AV8Bs use when they carry x2 GBU54s, spend 20 minutes on station without shooting (because it takes 10 minutes to tally and longer for clearance) then dump a -54 in the ocean before they land because STOVL requirements make them unable to land with x2 500 pounders...... and then they do that daily for 4 months until they run out of bombs and have to sail home? I want to know what that mode is called because I don't think we should equip the F35 with that function. Seriously, is the juice worth the squeeze WRT STOVL? In these times of fiscal austerity, and with a national strategic switch from 2 simultaneous to 1 major war at a time, I think the obvious answer is no. The Marines are notorious for caring only about the Marines and Marine CAPES.
