Psaldorn Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 That MTHEL must have uber-RADAR to initially find a target? or does it have all-aspect optical stuff? To track something that small and fast.. perhaps it only needs a few updates and then it can predict the projectiles trajectory completely? Then it can't be used for smart-tech.. Anyway, with 5 or so of those sites around me I'd feel safe. Unless I was on a trampoline.. :S *puts on tin foil trampoline suit* Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 World's top 5 defense budget 2005 In general terms defense budget is related to money. Estimates for the world's top five defense budgets are as follows: (in billions of US$ and the latest year for which accurate figures are available) US - $429 billion UK - $50 billion Japan - $47 billion France - $42 billion Germany - $32 billion Estimated budgets for Russia - $15 billion and China $27 billion Figures derived from £ Sterling, Euros and Yen exchange rates in early 2005. The defense budget of the UK has actually climbed since 2004 whereas the DoD budget has dropped. 2004 US - $434 billion UK - $47 billion It is also worth noting that European members of NATO spent Approximately $185 billion, while the US spent some $434 billion. The total Euro-NATO out going is only 42% of the US expenditure that year. Can you say, Kerching?!?! -------------------- Now - even better is that you can guess how much each service personnel cost by the budget... It's a bit crude and not exactly going to give you the meaning of life here... but here it is based on 2004 budget and figures country - budget - personnel - cost per service personnel US --- 434 billion - 1,433,600 - 302,734 UK --- 47 billion - 202,350 -- 232,270 Jap -- 45 billion -- 239,900 --- 187,578 Fra' -- 40 billion -- 259,050 --- 154,410 Ger' - 29 billion -- 284,500 --- 101,933 ----------------- 2nd EDIT: at £5.99 you couldn't go wrong ISBN 1-84415-280-4 The British Army - A pocket guide 2006-2007 By Charles Heyman yeah, I was a bit confused when I saw that title in ottakas. It's a hand-sized book mind. You'll have to put your reading glasses on to find it. But it's nice! It's got history, guns, figures... and loads of words in it. Over 200 pages of pure information. You'll like it! It's got some Black Watch boys sitting on a tank on the back cover too. Link to post Share on other sites

Hissing_Sid Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 True, but look where mobile phones have gone after two decades <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *imagines Nuclear Weapon caliber Desert Eagle* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Awwww I was gonna post links to 2 different things from the BWS web page but it seems that the site owner has take it down. Who could forget such marvels as the "HomeBoy Nyte Sights" for your glock? They also "sold" a thing called a "shotcaller" which was a mobile phone with a single shot pistol built in and something called a "Nuke .50" which was a rather special round for your Barrett. That site will be sorely missed whenever firearm related gags are required. Link to post Share on other sites
