Re: @Zmodem.
you have to hit the heart to kill someone with a 9mm, any where else most people can survive with no serious injury,. you have to be a looser who sits on their ass alday to die from a 9mm to your stomach, leg, arm,.
if you shoot someone with the leg, arm, stomach with a desert eagle, you leg and arm would probaly fall off, and you stomach would never be used again, if you survived
Re: @Zmodem.
the actual kill range of a shotgun is 12 yards, the pellets might go futher and kill a weak person, the garenteed kill of a shotgun for 99% of the human race is 12 yards
real combat is nothing like a bunch of nerds in your local target range on a saturday
most people will never use their sidearm, except in close combat tip toeing around buildings, a 9mm wont kill most people, a desert eagle will probaly kill in 1 shot, you have less ammo, but you only need the 1 shot, and not half a clip of a 9mm
if you have targets 100 yards away, you are probaly better off practicing with a grenade launch with angles and wind like a sniper
most assault rifles do bursts of 6, if you dont have a target and its not cover fire, you dont fire
Re: You honestly think
you should watch more tv, 9mm dont kill people and why the police use them, its why american troops like the colt 45, because it kills in 1 shot
sidearms probaly never get used by the everyday soldier so there is no real point having them outside of trench warfare or jungles
Re: @Zmodem. going for a record?
@Zmodem. going for a record?
a kil shot kills in 1, a sidearm is for close combat, nothing much else, a eagle has a better range then a 12 yard shotgun
Just offhand, how many rounds fired do you think it takes an army unit to kill/incapacitate an enemy in combat, on average?
5. unless your american with 6000 dead troops.

"So when and where did you serve in Iraq or Afghanistan? How many tours did you do?"
im no army man, the desert eagle was made in the 90s, when shotguns weight 8kg, a reinvented desert eagle with todays metals, would server more use with 3 people having them with 10 clips each, then 1 person with a shotgun
the pistol would`nt jam if you never used it, village platoons, even in afgan and iraq, the shotgun goes in first, after the village has been cleared, the shotgun serves no use and nor does the person who is carrying it
the desert eagle is a sidearm, leaving all to carry a proper gun when a single kill shot is not needed
if you have to buy your own boots and hats, you might as well go all out and buy your own sidearm, from a irish smuggler
you have a smaller clip with the desert eagle, buy every shot is a kill shot, it might not be much use as a general sidearm for you normal soldier, the army should still have them to give to special OPs, they are better then carrying a shotgun in 2 hands

why dont they just jump on the bandwagon and make a app that does video calls and charge the 99cents, explaining what is the matter in text in detail question after question and then pissing around taking a picture and making a picture message would take 2 hours while you mate has bled to death in the first 5 mins

AMD finishes its 'Piledriver' Opteron server chip rollout
Re: There is no gain with PCIe 3.0
there is everything to level, 90% of desktop benchmark score are made of of read/write from RAM and HDD
ddr3 ram is :
1333mhz = 8.5 - 10 GB/s
1866mhz = roughly 29.8GB/s
for geforce cards pci-e 3.0 allow keplar GPU, pci-e 2.0 is fermi, pci-e 3.0 doubles the bandwidth, so sli or crossfire setups will be able todo alot more by middle of next year, its not just gamers that use top end graphic card setups
FX onboard memory controller is upto 1866mhz ram, phomem II is 1333mhz
etc etc etc, i7 bridge speed has always been in use as full, AMD chipsets never have, and never will be
there is in gt -> gtx cards if you want sli, or use cruddy amd cards and crossfire, and have upto 1866mhz ram the FX core can handle, while all previous ram only can handle 1333mhz
there might not be much different comparing intel chips, pcie 3 would level the benchmark abit better with Fx vs i7

Re: Congratulations Zmodem
why, the shuttle heat shield was graphite, its man made and does what its made for, any metal of today would just be passed through with abit of iron debris without 4 inches of lead behind the hull, add a 100 tons of lead and 300 tons of fuel, and its impossible for any normal kind of space travel with todays technology
add a 6mw perpetual generator and a toughened graphite bass hull, and its possible to make a shuttle that can atleast goto the moon and back whenever you like, and only take a few months to get to mars
a rigid toughened graphite hull would`nt last too long without some reinforcement, and to stop more impact damage, the surface needs to flex a little
Re: @Zmodem
there are 100s of different graphites each with there own properties and conductivity, you can smash your tennis racket onto the concrete floor as hard as you can and not make a scratch, your tennis racket is just cheap commercial toughened graphite, its not hard to shoot with iron balls for a few months in a lab
Re: @Zmodem
should use carbon fibre reinforced with titanium mesh to stop it flexing to much, then a layer of aerogel, and then toughened graphite for the outlayer you can fix with ease with polymer out the tube, and is padded with the aerogel, before an impact reaches the carbon layer, and all smaller then half a inch thick hull materal
Re: @Zmodem
insulation means nothing, if there is metal contact to the hull, most probes that dissappear and never make it to mars are usually the ones that hang a sling shot around the moon, the suns radiation wraps around the planets magnetic field so it does`nt matter that much to satalites in orbit
