Re: [MBZ] New Ride

I have been impressed by the m119. It was fairly sedate but adequate with a 2.24 rear. Now it nearly barks the tires on the 1-2 shift and gets into the power band early enough to dust a 3.0L VW TDI in a tiguan ( 400 ft lb). Sounds pretty gnarly also; kind of a head turner. First gear is so low it s

Re: [MBZ] OT Missile Defense

Some of the projectiles use depleted uranium, others use tungsten. Perhaps there are other loadings as well. Looks like they hold much more than the traditional "nine yards", yet they would be out in about 20 seconds at that cyclic rate. Apparently the newer models load a drum from linked shells

Re: [MBZ] Am I crazy?

Uh, not to be a buzzkill, but 316 stainless would be multiples of the price of regular steel tubing. Stainless is also not as strong, requiring different scantlings for the wall thickness and probably different overall tubing dimensions for stiffness. Add to that the complexity of welding it, which

Re: [MBZ] OT Missile Defense

Could have been. We were working under Raytheon. We typically did not board the ship and go out to sea on it, they would take us out on a tender when they were already out and prepared for test like the next day. That cut down on having to feed us and provide a long term rack, which I was glad

Re: [MBZ] OT Missile Defense

I believe the ones being tested when we were doing it used depleted uranium bullets, or something like that. We weren’t involved with the guns themselves, just making sure there was enough juice when they wanted to shoot one off. I know the later models contained all the spent casings. These
