KartRacerBoy Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I was going to comment on how the P51's max speed was probably at or below the stall speed of the F16, but then I read that it can easily go over 400mph Yikes! In that thing! Someone needs to bone up on their history. Those old piston prop aircraft got FAST by the end of WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 With supercharged/intercooled V12s and V16s and big turbo-charged radial engines, these birds put out a lot of power. But, with a corresponding loss in agility and maneuvering ability, which they had to make-up with their acceleration and flat-out speed. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzr750r1 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That video is so fake it surprises me how many people think it might be real. Look at the setup video #3... Yeah it's fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzr750r1 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Love the Blackbird. But the SR-71 would have a really hard time flying stably at that speed, and if it could, the amount of fuel required for that flight - given how much fuel it leaks at sub-sonic speeds - would be incredible. There's a reason they refuel them almost immediately after launch Had the luck of an SR-71 fly over while working a job at the US Borax mine. Mine is just north of Edwards AFB. The only aircraft we didn't see during that trip was the B1. B2, SR71, Stealth fighter, Tomcats, F16, A-10, 777 during test trials, plus the space shuttle landed there. Some of the highlights were sonic booms every day with the pilots tearing off for maneuvers. Made working in a crappy environment tolerable.

jj808 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 The Gilboa Snake has two barrels that are fired simultaneously, essentially double tapping on a single trigger pull. It will be available in both semi-automatic (two rounds per trigger pull) or full auto. The rifle, with its two 9.5″ barrels, weighs 9.4 lbs. Israeli firm Silver Shadow is said to be debuting a double barreled AR-15 next month in Paris at the Eurosatory expo. http://www.gilboa-rifle.com/ http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/gilboa_snake_ar_15_rifle-tm-tfb.jpg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/stacks_image_348-tfb.jpeg http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/stacks_image_347-tfb.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoniram Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Looks cool, but what is the point? The only reasonable excuse would be to fire just as fast, but reduce the risk of melting your barrels. But that would only make sense for chain fed, which this is not... Or maybe fire twice as fast (twice the bullets down range in the same time when firing simultaneously). But you only have 30 rounds each mag, so... Waste bullets twice as fast. Check.

Strabismo Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 From what I can see the point of it is to take the money from people who have more cash than common sense and from rich collectors looking for novelty items. Like the Arsenal Arms AF 2011 I don't see these getting a long production run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But overall I think it would be more "looks cool" than provide any kind of precision shooting. A shotgun would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the range, shotgun with slugs possibly could equal the impact but not sure about the accuracy. Two down range with less effort, more is better.

amptramp Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It looks like a way to get twice the kick a single round would provide, making sure your accuracy was off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
