I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

    I guess somebody decided a 16ish ton difference between the M10 and the M1E3 made it redundant for tank-like roles, and the existence of the Stryker with a 105mm fills the strategically air mobile fire support role better.

    Now we wait for the Army to figure out that the XM7 is just an M14 with extra steps.








  • I went and read the text. The TLDR is the law was targeted to semiautomatic weapons, but the text itself defined those as “assault rifles”.

    The text proposed banning “assault rifles” and within the bill it laid out a definition for the purposes of the bill:

    “Assault rifle” means a semiautomatic rifle

    (1) With an overall length less than thirty inches;

    (2) That has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than ten rounds, except for an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition; or

    (3) That accepts a detachable magazine or that may be readily modified to accept a detachable magazine and has one or more of the following characteristics:

    (A) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock, or a stock that is otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, the size, or any dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability of the weapon;

    (B) A pistol grip or thumbhole stock;

    © Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non‑trigger hand;

    (D) A flash suppressor;

    (E) A shroud that is attached to or partially or completely encircles the barrel and permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the second hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel;

    (F) A bayonet mount;

    (G) A grenade launcher; or

    (H) A threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward hand grip, or silencer.
