Yikes

 
I have to wonder if body armor would be more or less effective against a round like that.  That sawing effect is pretty gnarly.  If they're too deadly I expect they'll be declared "law enforcement only".  Considering it's the last round we'll ever need, I'd like to know what they plan on charging per box...

Sounds like the USAF brass is trying to come up with another BS reason to kill the A-10. 

 

 
ARMED SERVICES
Leading the committee has been a long-sought goal for 78-year-old John McCain of Arizona, the former Navy pilot, Vietnam prisoner of war and two-time presidential candidate who lost to Obama in 2008.
McCain, who has hinted he might seek a sixth term in 2016, stands as one of Obama's fiercest critics on national security, casting the administration as weak and ineffective in countering threats overseas. He has repeatedly called for arming and training moderate Syrian rebels and favors more U.S. forces in Iraq to battle Islamic State militants.
McCain has been critical of Pentagon contracting. Increased examination of defense manufacturers and acquisition policy is certain. The Pentagon can largely forget about scrapping the A-10 Warthog aircraft, which McCain heavily favors, and can expect close scrutiny of the costly F-35 fighter jet.

That's not the only thing the USAF is doing/attempting to do.  They are also cutting back on the aggressor role used to train fighter crews.

Reminds me of the old saying in aviation.  Planes want to fly and helicopters want to kill you.  😉

So you think you can shoot a handgun. Check this one out.  Try it: see how good you are with a Russian pistol. ( All text is in Russian. ) Save money and ammunition too!
The virtual pistol is a Soviet Tokarev Model 40, in caliber 7.62 mm.  It is quite accurate. Being virtual, it will lack the actual 'feel' and the recoil.  In real life, at each shot, the recoil will throw your aim off the target.
When the pistol appears, click on the trigger, take aim, and fire.  It’s very much like the real thing.  The longer you hold the pistol, the more your aim will wander.
You have 3 shots in 30 seconds to hit the target and get your score.
CAUTION: It’s addictive.

Click on the white dot on the trigger guard to start, after your 3 shots click on first line in box to try again .

Я не мог выяснить то, что Вы должны были сделать. Довольно клево, я поражал цель три умноженный, Товарища.

I've seen it.  Just hoping they have a engines idle/brakes set feature in the event of data link loss while taxing on the deck.
