Do they not take stanags?

ok its a very menacing fighter, very beautiful to look at head on, but my god the aerodynamics on that thing are garbage, its the textbook definition of putting enough power to get anything to fly, it had all sorts of yawing problems, rolling problems, pitching problems, it couldn't cross the atlantic without several refuels, its engines were only marginally quieter than the thunderscreech, its engines were twin fireballs with big black trails, this plane was never clean

here's a great example, it litterally did not need a good quarter of the wing surface to take off or fly

I dunno the guy barely touches on magazine info, but all I see is that plastic magazine. Unsure if that's stanag compliant or not and my guess is it isn't.

Pretty sure it does. The clear mags are Lancer L5 AWMs which are STANAG compliant. They're nicer than Magpul's polymer magazines IMO because they have steel feed lips and hold up better in cold weather conditions. Because of the ubiquity of AR-15 magazines in the US, almost all rifles made in the US are designed to accept them. They are the gold standard.
It should also be noted that Kel-tec makes a version of the RDB with wooden furniture.

also the f-4 was about as durable as a brick, i mean people were using those things right up until they could buy f-16s and not a minute after

The P90 also feeds from the top, so it's still significantly different from this mechanism that both feeds and ejects from the bottom (Although I guess the Ithaca 37 kinda works like that too?)

The method used by the Ithaca would be too slow to keep up with the action of a semi-auto rifle. What Keltec did is very close to an idea I toyed with to see if the Magpul PDR was feasible. Now I think it is very possible to the recreate the PDR.
I feel like telling a little story...

This is the man who created and whom the machine pistol known as the Luty machine pistol was made after. His name? Philip A. Luty. All though no one really cares to study the guy's story, it is without a doubt one of the most depressing stories I have read in my life.
For any of you who are unaware of Luty's tales, he originally made his machine pistol which is being built worldwide in the early 2000's and originally he had absolutely no intention of criminal malice. All he wished to do was prove a point that any man, women, or child could manufacture a gun and ammo for said gun within a small shed based workshop and from that point he would deliver the guide, ammo, and gun directly to the nearest police station as a request of amnesty. At first, he was told he would be let go, so long as he didn't release any information regarding the construction, and so long as he never made anymore ammo or guns ever again. He agreed to these terms. The police station though was ordered directly from whatever high command the British police follow to go out and handcuff PAL, and toss him into a jailcell.
He was detained and held inside of a prison cell, without trial, for [B]five weeks[/B], simply because he [I]may[/I] of made something which could of aided terrorist. In other words, he was withheld for possible terrorism... Even though he willingly approached the police and handed everything over. It was because of this that Luty felt that something had seriously gone wrong in his country. He had been detained effectively for just providing some information to the government on how exactly someone could manufacture a gun and ammo, and what to look out for. In his eyes this was not only an attack on his human rights and freedoms, but he feared that others could be having the same treatment as himself.
Thanks to this, Luty decided to go to a few gunsmithing sites and release his information online to people in the United States. In other words, all he did was send his information away so other people could have it. Well because of how the internet operates, some folks in the United Kingdom and some other folks in the European Union, had decided to download the guide and check it out.
Not even a year after Luty's original arrest, he was detained again because supposedly someone had been selling a printout of his guide to people on the streets without his permission. He was utterly shocked and said he had no part in it, but it did not matter. For them it was case enough to rearrest Luty, and this time under horrid circumstances. For those of you that are unaware, Luty's death was thanks to cancer within the esophagus, and around the time of this detainment, he had recently found out this was the case and was pretty much bedridden due to medications.
They put him in a jailcell for another five weeks, and at the same time police forces across the United Kingdom had gone around arresting roughly fifty people who had downloaded or purchased the guide from someone marketing it. Some of these people also had medical issues, and in one case, a man with a brain tumor was disallowed from going to a surgery for another week so he could be detained for pretty much downloading a book on building a machine pistol.
Back to Luty though... For the last months of his life(died in 2011), he was under constant watch, disallowed from using computers, under a house arrest of sorts, and was pretty much screwed over relating to employment.
And remember, all he did was build a gun, some ammo, and wrote a book which he promptly handed over to his local police department in order to help them bust gunrunners. This is the real story of Philip A. Luty. [/quote]
Sorry for the long post, but it is really fucking depressing when I heard this story and thought about how Luty was originally trying to help the police, but instead ended up getting screwed over by them.
That's really fucked up.

The Army showed off the newest version of the XM25 which now has a new optic that's a bit smaller.

Is that actually an XM-25, or just a mockup?
I refuse to believe they're painting it baby poop brown.
that doesn't look like baby poop brown, it looks like 3d printed beige

Wouldn't be surprised either way. Most of the new weapon acquisitions and proposals like the Modular Handgun System and the M110 have a requirement that the gun come in Tan or some kind of Flat Dark Earth like color. Also, H&K are collaborating on the XM25's development and they've been painting all of their new weapons a special baby poop brown.

What is it with H&K and picking the ugliest shades of brown as physically possible?
At least the old baby poop H&Ks were consistent in color. Also, the H&K GR series was neato.

The official color swatch code of HK Baby Shit Brown is RAL 8000
I've seen hundreds of toy guns use that color scheme.
