Leading off the parade we have Special Operations Command, who are buying a new AR variant rifle from Lewis Machine & Tools (LMT) chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor.<\/p>\n

On August 22, 2025, the Pentagon announced that a $92 million USSOCOM contract had been awarded to Lewis Machine & Tools Defense for \u201cmedium range gas gun-assault kits.\u201d The 10-year contract also includes spare parts and accessories, new equipment training, and engineering change proposals.\u00a0\u00a0We Are The Mighty<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Basically this is just an AR-10 (the big brother to the AR-15) chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. While the cartridge does have a bit of a ballistic advantage over the 7.62 NATO (supposedly 1200 meter range vs. 800 meter) for practical purposes where most of us live there isn’t much difference other than the logistics issues. LMT generally makes a good product, but even they have occasional production hiccups – their entire production run of rifles sold to Estonia had to be recalled for inspection of their gas system components. SOCOM is already using the sniper variant MSGG-S rifle, this adds the “assault” MSGG-A to the list. How often non-snipers would worry about having their range extended to 1200 meters is not addressed.<\/div>\n

Then we have the Italian fella who is trying to break the Guinness record for the fastest car run on an ship by wheeling a Ferrari F-90 around on an Italian aircraft carrier.<\/div>\n
\n
Barone eased himself into the supercar, then drove back and forth along the length of the deck several times to warm up its V-8 turbo engine. It roared louder with each pass as he pushed its 1,085 horses harder and harder. Then he placed himself at the far end of the 236-meter (774-foot) flight deck and awaited the all-clear.Military.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Who knew the Italians HAD a carrier? (Turns out they actually have 2 – interesting list at\u00a0Carrier count )<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I would worry lots more about warming up the tires and brakes – any idiot can get a really fast car UP to speed, but stopping it is a bit more vital. Especially when the consequences are a probably-fatal drop to the ocean. I thought a 427 Cobra could easily whoop his butt, but a 1987\u00a0Hot Rod<\/a> test said it took almost 1500 feet.\u00a0 There is a British kit car which did 0-100 and back to a stop in 235 meters, so maybe it could be a bit faster,\u00a0 but with more deck the F90 might be able to stretch its legs a bit more, too.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
And then we have Jasmine Crockett. We’ve spoken of her privileged child private school upbringing which belies her street-tough image, and God knows she has said a few things which were, say, logically challenged – but she is outshining her earlier efforts.<\/div>\n

“And I do think that I\u2019m in a unique situation because I was having the conversations with people that were going out and committing crimes. And so, I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so, I do want people to know that, just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn\u2019t make them a criminal.”Fox News<\/a><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Well, she does have a law degree and is an official lawer, but let’s just say her interpretation of the law is suspect. Committing a crime MAKES you a criminal, and arguing that because you were desperate it doesn’t count…what is next, do-overs?\u00a0 What would we do without her…<\/div>\n
