The Hangout: Providing insubstantial escapism for the unwashed masses!

I didn't say I had a warez, I just asked the best way to burn it from the comp to a cd for playability.

Well assuming it was a backup made from your own CD, for your own purposes, you'd burn it in the same way as any other image. ^_~ Alcohol 120% might be suitable.

I've seen it on either the History or Military channel, some show said the 5.56 was effective because of the "tumble." If it just passes through and through, why are we using it? I say we switch to the 6.8 for more kinetic energy.

"through" was a bad choice of words. The 5.56 rarely overpenetrates humans and it does tend to yaw on impact because of the bullet design. It's also known to fragment on impact when the velocity is over 2700. Certain variants apparently fragment at a lower velocity, but they aren't the norm.

Scaling up isn't the answer unless you're planning on the use of HP rounds (which is against the Hague convention, not any of the Geneva conventions) because overpenetration is just wasted energy.

[Ivolt]

Yes, "read"

You'd be surprised.
We don't have the same mindset Ray.

Got lots of it, too bad my japanese knowledge is still low.

I get the impression you'd need ah...'specialised' Japanese knowledge, anyway. ^_~

My older brother tried to give me an intensive seminar on dirty Japanese words when I was staying with him. I think I forgot most of them, though. He picks them all up from his students. It's pretty much the only Japanese he knows. ;

Tsk, you're encouraging it.

Tsk, you're encouraging it.

I know, I'm terrible at this. ;__;

Nnnn, KUH! and stuff, yeah. I can see the words but not understand what it means.

FUCK.

I'm decided. I'm "acquiring" Rosetta Stone, and learning Russian.

What does Hypnos say about its velocity level?

[ZeikHunter]

6.8 is a ballistic dead end.

and theres a loophole in the geneva conventions about that.

and as for impact fragmentation, thats because of the tungsten/steel penetrator. that bullet has 3 different metals in it, hit something hard enough, and they separate.

AFAIK, the boat tail was supposed to maintain stable trajectory and prevent that yaw problem.

It's under 9000.
