Buckshot not deer shot.

Still, you have to be a idiot to use buckshot on deer. It doesn't really do a good enough job. The poster is current in that most hunters use rifle ammunition to hunt deer. It's much more effective and doesn't leave deer running around wounded skin deep like Buckshot does.

The Liberator "pistol" fired a .380 ACP round which has been shown to be a decent self defense round.

The Grizzly "rifle" fires a 22LR round which is useless in self defense situations.

Regardless of it's external shape, this is probably a regression in development of 3D printed firearms. Especially considering the load pressures, both the 380 ACP and the 22 LR are around 20,000 PSI to 25,000 PSI.

A real rifle round? Well your looking at anywhere from 50,000 PSI (such as the 7.62x51mm NATO aka M14/M24/SR-25 etc) to 62,000 PSI (such as the 5.56x45mm NATO, aka AR-15's/M-16's etc)..

Till they develop a plastic that can handle those stresses and be 3D printable, the most anyone will be able to do rifle wise, is to make a carbine using a pistol caliber. Although some pistol rounds such as the 9mm Parabellum (most common 9mm Pistol ammunition) is 39,000 PSI which will probably push any 3D printed material well beyond it's maximum.

Now now, that is insulting to janitors comparing the two groups.

The total number of smartphone users worldwide is only around 1 billion.

Apple itself has not even passed the 350 millionth phone mark in it's total sales from day one. And that doesn't include how many people have went from the iPhone 3 to 4 to 5 now. Just total headset sales.

No, as a Canadian who has dealt with both Albertans and Texans ... Texans are much nicer people.

Do you know what the South Koreans and North Koreans both share?

Disdain for the American's meddling in their country from before the Korean War, because remember a American puppet Dictator started to kill off anyone who was deemed centralist to left wing before the Communist Party of Korea declared war due to those actions.

Followed by this never ended state of war, that multiple South Korea Dictatorships have kept up, working for the Americans. And even the current "Democratic" South Korea, who is feeling the American's pressure at every turn to keep this "conflict" going.

Remember Psy's Anti-American songs? That is just the tip of the iceberg for most South Koreans. A single death and lack of prosecution due to a American Imposed Status of Forces Agreement in Korea. Want to see what the South Koreans will do if a second American caused war happens? It won't be like the first time.

You'll be far more likely to see South Korea joining the North Korean side then North Korea using a nuclear weapon on Seoul.

It works when both Russia and China wont let their boarder areas be radiated with nuclear contaminates due to a American strike without some kind of response.

The F-35 is a slug under no load too based on the latest maximums they are using for flight testing.

Actually, that whole report goes onto say that the F-35 isn't suitable for combat, and the F-35A, back when the JSF competition ended was supposed to become operational in 2011. It's current time frame doesn't put that goal till 2018 or there about. And that is without factoring the current year and a bit delay for operational software that they barely have started on.

So in your comment about "The Super Hornet does not have the capabilities of the F-35", I'll have to respond that a single pilot recreational plane such as a Cessna, according to that DOT&E report has the same capabilities of the F-35.

Heh your right, sorry about the confusion between L2 being decrypted and L2C.

Again, old information that has been proven factually wrong. Even by the two involved in the incident.

Never mind the fact that most modern RADAR units are being designed by multiple countries are exploiting the same method that he used to get enough of a lock to allow his missiles to do their job. By lowing the frequency to something a stealth fighter cannot protect itself from.

The GAO after the Gulf War slammed Lockheed and the USAF for those statements. A very long time ago. Funny how myths continue to be repeated.

... needed less then a third of the maintenance then the F-14, had less then a third of the numbers of failures per flight hour. And the F/A-18E managed to nearly halve the F/A-18's numbers.

The F-117 Stealth Fighter used Wild Weasels and Jamming aircraft, as far back as the Gulf War as standard operating procedure. That won't change with the F-35.

The F-117 that was shot down in Serbia, was done with a SAM site from the 1960's (with 1950's tech) on a mission where their normal escort was not sent up with them.

Every Super Hornet has been delivered on time and on budget. The same cannot be said about the F-35, which is already two years late, and is expected to be between 7-8 years late at the moment.
