    Orange for tracer. Good for night time

    I was using hold over (scope Weaver V9 on my Sako) shooting gongs at a 600m range and couldn’t for the life of me see where they were landing until I put some tracer rounds down and saw I was way short

    Ah 5.56 tracer is crap. 7.62 gives you so much more light.

    A W76 or W88 is even a better option.

    Let's just hope that Trump never gets the power or influence over such weapons.

    If the world survived 50 odd years of a paranoid and delusional Soviet leadership, I'm sure it will be fine under Trump. It's not like he could just order a first strike, there are procedures in place.

    I agree but Trump could certainly get the wheels rolling in that direction with another Crimea type situation with Putin.

    I'm more worried about the Pakistani nuclear arsenal.

    Putin and Trump are more likely to be mates from what it looks like. No guarantee they would even assist Poland or Turkey from the way he's been talking. I think the Nuclear thing people are talking about is just scare mongering. The US has a no first strike policy, meaning the military would probably tell anyone in charge to pound sand if ordered to conduct a fool hardy decapitation strike on Russia.

    Yes I don't like either of the two possibilities in control but I think Stumpy is right. You don't get a little bag with launch codes anymore, you might make a disappearing act for trying to use it without a dam good reason. Sometimes the people who wont act at all can be the biggest risk look at all the big wars happened because no one wanted to stand up and say "no further"or that there was a perception that no one would stand up for a weak country/group of people. Both candidates are a risk in this respect also.

    A Mexican standoff only works if you don't give up your strategic position.

    Putin wants Trump to get in because he knows he's an idiot. Poland and Turkey are part of NATO so he wouldn't have much choice but to assist.

    I'm not talking about a first strike, I'm talking about a conventional conflict that could escalate or become unwinnable.
