Yeah, a lot of Italians and Brit’s

true mist
#

yeah thats my understanding

round sentinel
#

These people are all sitting at the same table after all

true mist
#

but from a moral sense, at least the yugoslav wars were fought over local disputes and perceived/actual wrongdoings, the iraq war was built on lies to invade a country on the other side of the world

#

serbia has much more of a stake in former yugoslavia than america could ever have in the middle east

misty cove
#

also it wasnt just serbia fighting

#

it was a freefor all preety much

even usa got involved in bombing shit

yeah you cant blame serbia alone

especially not the current nation of serbia

#

The US came in late in both world wars, and the impact wasn't military might or superior warfighting ability, it was economic strength and industry

#

that was the deciding factor more so than American bodies

round sentinel
#

WW2 would still say otherwise there

#

But WW1, yeah

true mist
#

and in the current age, America is doing everything in its power to fall behind economically, and export our industry

misty cove
#

compared to other big countries

round sentinel
#

We had massive amount of casualties lmao

#

Not Russia or German level but

#

A ton

true mist
#

I think the American perspective tends to downplay the impact of the Eastern front, acting like the Western front was the sole factor from Dday to the nazi defeat

#

but the hard bloodshed and slow meatgrinder forward was the eastern front, where america had good impact economically and through equipment but not in manpower

round sentinel
#

China was the primary manpower on that front anyways

Pacific, I’m having a brain moment and thinking literal eastern not Europe

Ladies and gentlemen we are now at 12.3k rounds on the MKE mp5 with 9 total malfunctions. I love this thing so much

#

I put in an 80 degree locking piece and now it has even less recoil which is nice because 9mm out of an 11 pound subgun was hurting my poor shoulder

#

Needed to tame that harsh recoil

#

But seriously with the 80 degree LP and a standard back pressure can it runs smooth with 115 grain supers, haven’t tested it with 147’s yet

Apparently there’s dudes who know how to modify PVS-7 tubes to they fit into monocular housings

Or something like that

#

Could be worth looking into maybe? Especially since pvs-7 tubes are typically cheaper for similar quality

thin cypress
#

PVS7 is just biocular which is what makes it shit you’re just doubling the same image

#

But if you have an old 7 then you’re just cooked cause your image will be inverted if it’s a MX10130

# candid current what eotech would you recommend?

any of the 2 series, 3 series is kinda unnecessary for many people unless you have or plan on getting night vision. Only difference between the EXPS and XPS is that the E sits a little higher and has a quick detach lever while the regular XPS uses 2 cross bolt screws

#

Think of Omni as like a baseline that’s literally it. It’s just specification minimums.

#

Every single Gov/Le tube is omni

plush warren
#

Baseline set by what

thin cypress
#

Easiest example since you want to quote omni 8 which is mostly comprised of Elbit and L3 IIT’s they must meet a minimum FOM of 1600 and SNR of 25. You test it in a Hoffman

plush warren
#

I didn’t quote anything, I just said that O7/8 tubes exist for pvs-7’s

thin cypress
#

Which I then said doesn’t mean shit because it just talks about contract minimums FOM and SNR

plush warren
#

But you were saying that pvs-7 tubes fit fine in a 14 housing, but that the image is just upside down which is quite literally not fine

thin cypress
#

Your real number to worry about is what tube is it itself I.E. MX11769/MX10160 or the 7’s which if newer use those but it’s rare cause 7’s suck and are ass or the standard 7’s 10130

#

The tube itself will fit, your image will be absolutely cooked I’m not sure how that’s hard to understand

plush warren
#

I think we’ve had a significant misunderstanding

thin cypress

Not for the big US gobernment there isn’t

They all buy up 31D’s and 31A’s now

#

Only people I know that maybe use 7’s are the taliban cause we left a fuck ton and a few Asian countries (Japan, Korea, Philippines)

plush warren
#

That’s probably who we made them for tbh, phillipines, ANA, etc

#

Which explains why the taliban have them lol

They only have them cause of the horrid withdrawl honestly

Of the lever

Mmmm

#

So here's the thing

You have to reduce the tension on the mount

To be able to get it to slide onto that style of rail

Because it probably does work

#

It's just too tight

#

Russian optics really suck

#

You have it on a MTK83

dark lynx
#

ok, do you have access to a manual of arms kinda deal you can send pics of or can you show me what ive gotta loosen up here?

golden marlin
#

I got nothing because I have never had the chance to play with that specific mount

#

But probably what you're going to have to do if I go off of looks

#

Probably pull down on this piece and rotate it

Because odds are the pieces thread together

If you pop that piece down and rotate it another turn it's going to probably loosen up the tension because from what I'm seeing here is it threads into the top metal section with the lower section only being non-threaded

#

I cant tell if its my rail or the mount.I ended up taking the screw and lever off after it didnt work for some reason. and even without any of that on, it still gets stuck in the same place. and its solid stuck too. I have to damn near rip it off, wiggling it for 5 ish minutes in order to not damage anything

#

Hmmm

#

Idk tbh

dark lynx

is it supposed to be able to stay on like this when there is nothing to tighten or loosen it even attached?

be a little bit rough with it

how rough, because Its shaving metal when I take this on and off.

alright not that rough lmao, you cant make it any looser?

dark lynx
#

the device to make it tigth or loose is on my desk taken apart

#

it has been removed from the sight

#

this is just friction

#

yet its still able to stay on despite being held upright

red salmon
#

hm msybe a issue with the mount?

dark lynx
#

thats what im thinking, maybe its on wrong or its canted downward creating a barrier?

red salmon
#

possibly

golden marlin
#

It's probably based off the saiga universal mount that you now currently see on the Yugo pattern rifles

#

That's all I got

#

It should slide on

#

Your options are you can get a new mount for it

#

If you can find one
