@sankohaindustry Small batch, cooked with love machining, plus chambering a novel magnum pdw cartridge. It's all the flex.

@gatnerd I remember a few years back Big Daddy Unlimited was pushing these so hard when they were still in buisness, and for that reason I never looked into them…but why are they so much money?

@MVargo6 That would be glorious. I had previously been thinking of a B&T MP9 type PDW in 7.5.

@gatnerd Fun fact. 7.5 FK has no case taper which makes it a legitimate candidate if somone wanted to make a P90 that was chambered in a .30cal cartridge.

@Eli74599 Awesome. How is firing 7.5 in real life, as fun as it looks?

@Tapas1776 Ukranians have tested this and found lead birdshot cannot reliably penetrate the carbon fiber and composite structure of modern drones reliably, which is why everyone is switching to tungsen BB's. The copper triplex rifle bullet, flying ~3x the speed of shotgunBB, will also work

Anti-Drone 5.56 NSWC Crane’s ‘Drone Killer Cartridge’, designed to break into 3 pieces to create a mini shotgun effect for better hit probability against drones. Range better than the previous saboted BB designs, at the expense of having less close range spread.

@vbgamer17 @DoomerTapes Probably around 100 yards is where there would be enough spread to help statistical hit probability vs unitary, while still having some energy left with the subprojectiles. Just my gut take on it though, no data to support that.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@MayorofLondon

The world deserves to see the best of London. Our £7m global campaign will challenge the rise of disinformation about our capital. It’s time to set the record straight and champion everything London stands for.

Knox High Efficiency Cartridge = 5.56 Using High Pressure, they were able to duplicate 5.56 ballistics in a much smaller round, allowing for 50rd magazines and 30% less ammo weight. A much more interesting option than making legacy calibers more powerful.

@TheWesternBlue1 @2805662 M80A1 out of 300 win mag and now the 6.8 GP have been tested by Buffman and and others, and are not penetrating Level IV. Here's Chinese Level IV stopping (albeit with terrible backface deformation) M80A1 at 3700fps, wayyy beyond the SIG load. youtube.com/watch?v=nD_1-I…

@gatnerd @2805662 Level V doesn't exist, and despite Colosus armor being out for a decade, no military fields it. Also this isn't the case, Sig using M80A1 projectiles with their HYP ammunition absolutely destroyed body armor M993 is a VERY dated projectile design

@TheWesternBlue1 @2805662 That velocity estimate is with Tungsten; steel wont penetrate level IV at any sort of range until you get to .50ish. Level IV is incredibly robust - to say nothing of emerging Level V like the Adept Colosus, with some models stopping legacy M993 7.62 tungsten at 2750fps at 40'.

@gatnerd @2805662 Bullet material is going to be drastically more important than 150 fps. The increased sectional density is also going to make penetration easier over 30 cal bullets

@__iDio @DoomerTapes No, the whole bullet itself is normal weight. It's when the bullet breaks into 3 pieces after leaving the barrel, that each mini bullet weights 1/3 as much as normal.

The Jericho Enhanced series include a Picatinny dust cover rail, Novak sights and a new hammer profile, trigger profile, and thumb safety lever. You can also change out backstraps to fit your hand size. Available in a mid or full size version. IWI.US

@ODowcett @2805662 Difference is actually more extreme. Assuming 2500fps impact vel to pen Level IV = 300yd range at 3100fps from a 16"; 200yd at 2850fps from an 11". (A 17-18" bullpup even more.) You can increase pressure, but then the performance gains from longer barrel are even greater.

Had the opportunity to sit with jeff in a Puma S1 today, getting a look at some of the screen and roughly feeling how cramped it is. Also had good explanation from a German army officer regarding the FCS and the use of ammunition. Couldn't take pics sadly

Also been told the BeHgr uses PENT as an explosive like the frag grenade in the offering. I'm really surprised about not Blast Enhanced filler being used
