If you are NOT a (FFL) licensee under the Gun Control Act (an individual)
It is: ok to OWN AP ammo
ok to SELL AP ammo
ok to BUY AP ammo
ok to SHOOT AP ammo
NOT ok to MAKE AP ammo (18 USC sec. 922(a)(7))
NOT ok to IMPORT AP ammo (18 USC sec. 922(a)(7))
The definition of AP ammo is at 18 USC sec. 921(a)(17):
"(B) The term `armor piercing ammunition' means-
(i) a projectile or projectile core which may be used in a handgun and
which is constructed entirely (excluding the presence of traces of other
substances) from one or a combination of tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass,
bronze, beryllium copper, or depleted uranium; or[...]
Stop wanting things for free. If consumers would look at things from the other side, things could be very different. Instead of wanting things cheaper, why don't you try to fund your favourite company, by paying larger prices, so that they have the money to build better things, and can then charge less for better. You don't want the same for less money, you want better for the same money.
Stop putting words in my mouth. I can not afford a current-gen console and games to go with it; I do want the same for less money.
I could be giving you shit over budgeting, and you're giving others shit for same.
In Mech2, I played with a DC Urbanmech, four jumpjets, and a bank of 12 small lasers (best damage/heat ratio in the game). Ground-effect skimming with jumpjets to get in close, then unleash the Lucifer system into the fighting face of that Daishi's armor... I don't care if it's an assault mech, two shots in the same spot would put down the heaviest armor in the game.
Maneuverability, not so much. Speed? Bring that back!
Find yourself a Cree q3-5a LED.
Color temperature is comparable to an extremely hot, white, and efficient high-pressure xenon/halogen lamp... but much more efficient still.
But how easily can you live without high-speed Internet access if the only provider of home high-speed Internet access ties its high-speed Internet access service to a pay TV service?
false dichotomy. You're introducing problems where none exist, and we have enough to deal with without making our own trouble.
There's no discussion of making external gestation mandatory, just making it available to those who look at the world, as you say, in those "cold logical terms".
Point of fact: the hormone causing lactation is already known, and can probably be produced in pill form, cheaply, using the same techniques as insulin. You realize it's entirely possible for a woomba to carry the child for the mother, and yet the child to be breastfed?
Chemically it should be the same as what? fructose != glucose != galactose != lactose != sucrose != dextrose != deoxyribose. "Sugar" is not a specific molecule, but an entire family of crystallizable molecules defined by either a keto or aldehyde group at the end of a substituted alkane carbon chain, which can either be linear, or cyclic.
HFCS is making no attempt at being table sugar, or the sugar that goes into making the structural part of DNA. What it does is activate the 'sweet' receptors on the tip of the tongue quite efficiently.
High-current home batteries. They sit on the wall and trickle-charge over 14 hours, and you plug the car into it (with a bus-bar) and it fully charges in between 5 and 30 minutes. Tesla could do this, if they could afford to engineer it. Until and unless we run heftier power cables to homes, or install EV charging stations at the gas station, we put up with overnight charges.
Point is, this can change with a little work and/or commitment.
Sorry, the charger issue is fixed by trickle-charging not just your car overnight, but also a high-current, high-capacity battery pack in the garage (li-poly? NiMH? Lithium-iron-phosphate? Lithium-magnesium phosphate? Silver-zinc? Lead-acid? Anything but lithium-cobalt, basically) that can deliver the thick, chewy amps needed to fast-charge the car battery.
You know, if this trend holds, their next car will be competitive with the Civic-and-Corolla crowd. Thoughts on what technologies will be needed to pull this off?
Isn't a major treatment for PTSD re-enacting traumatic events in controlled, virtual environments in order to re-experience it without the actual trauma? This lays down 'layers' over the old memory that don't have the memory tag for "Priority interrupt: Panic!" and has phenomenal success rates in the treatment of PTSD.
With the right mod tools and server software, this is going to be the best tool of its type available.
Civilian craft tend to rely on radar for finding stuff they want to not run into. Microwaves are strongly absorbed by water. Therefore, marine life is strongly shielded from such emissions by water. For this reason, civilian ships detection systems pose minimal threat to sea life. (Their engine noise, however...)
Submarines are sneaky little bitches.
200+ dB sonar is painting a glowing "Shoot me!" sign on your hull for enemy torpedoes to follow.
The "Shoot me!" effect goes (much) further than the effective range of your sonar, meaning that turning on active sonar is giving away a large advantage, and essentially a panic button. It is a thing to be avoided, so unless in times of war, active sonar is rarely used.
Sorry, no - that's like asking what the minimum amount of light to stun a person is because you want a tac-light to use as a primary weapon. It doesn't work like that -- the answer to my question is "bright enough to ionize a thin layer of skin/clothing into an EMP-emitting plasma" and I suspect the answer to your question is "Loud enough to pulverize bone and tear nerve fibers". Problem is, both kinda cause permanent injury. Phasers don't have a magical stun setting, and you can't cause complete temporary incapacitation without at leastrisking permanent damage, making yield (captured healthy dolphins that can be trained up into useful minesweepers) low and unit cost prohibitively high, making swarms of drones the cheap and easy option.
Because the only thing you need for an iPhone to work right is iTunes, and therefore iTunes needs to come with all of the supporting infrastructure to make the iPhone work smoothly, seamlessly, and automagically.
It's because of that the world's most pleasant-to-use cell phone is the way it is. Love it or hate it, at least now you should be able to understand it.
Actually, LEDs are harder to make an extreme spot with than incandescents - incandescent lights can more accurately mimic a point source than an LED, and when designing an appropriate reflector, usually the incandescent will have a tighter focus.
Hell, I expect they'll have a cyber-mod for that - the "rabbit ears" Masamune Shirow put on cyborgs like Birarios from Appleseed, and his landmate mecha with a wee bitty camera for peeking around cover... it'd be perfect.

if it weren't so easy to copy stuff what would you do? Go without?
Yes.
Emphasis mine.

no more pay tv? so be it. I can live without out!

The name for such devices is "peristaltic pumps"
Eventually, maybe we could tap on the charged layers of atmosphere and drain them to harvest energy
What if we put the laser in orbit, and gave it a really big telescope to aim it? You could deposit the harvested energy wherever you want.

Don't you think they're working on that as fast and hard as reasonably practical?
Civilian craft rarely have passive sonar.
Civilian active sonar tend to be very low power.

Motofone F3 - look it up. GSM, $40 unlocked, E-Ink display (no backlight - very good in sunlight, not so good at night)
