I don't see any point in having a 5.7 long gun with an overall length of at least 24 inches, unless maybe you're using it for efficient pest extermination and loading your own ammo. It's okay it's just big.
The 5.7 seems to peak in shorter barrels 8 to 12 inches like an fn p90 and keltec p50 type weapons where you have 50 round mags and portability or something like a folding LC charger to make a poor man's mp7 if you're into that kind of thing. But no 50 round stick mags for the LC charger.
My keltec p50 SBR is 16 inches overall with the stock adapter folded.

Spendy mag dumps?
Yeah, I should have waited for the LC Charger (and 9mm). But it was my first long arm. ...allegedly.
My 10/22 is a Charger. ...allegedly.

Trust me, you don't really want to experience a far-left dictatorship. Brazil didn't reach the same extent as Venezuela or Cuba, but unfortunately it's not so safe from this risk at the moment.

Kamala recently endorsed the so-called wokeism, which makes me see her as a threat to America. Trump may not exactly be friends with Putin or with Kim, but he is a good negotiator. No wonder while he was at the White House, there were fewer wars overseas which could influence the political scenario in the United States.

Government should fit in the box it came in.

I didn't state it before, but I arbitrarily chose 9% as the federal tax collection because those self-important, smug fools in the tiny District of Columbia shouldn't impose a higher fee than God requires (tongue in cheek as God doesn't require that).
In all seriousness though, nobody disagrees with me that the furthest, most top-level of government should be regarded as least important to us in day to day life, including where tax funds are allocated? Not a single person?
If so, why are things exactly backwards?

Very. But you got to pay to get ammo that fits in 50 round mags that don't stick out precariously, only adds about 1lb when loaded plus has almost no recoil.
I would not recommend it for a first gun, or for beginners or for someone looking for one gun that does a lot of jobs.

Gotta have to agree with you on that. Besides those SOBs having sky-high salaries, they often have so many benefits that often more than double their salaries.

Australia invents diesel powered hydrogen gas turbine. It's supposed to burn Hydrogen..... No hydrogen is available so the backup plan is to burn natural gas. Well the pipeline isn't done so they'll burn diesel.

It seems Australia had their "freedom or slavery" inflection point, a while ago and chose slavery.

Heck, im just impressed it's a multi fuel turbine, just add assorted hydrocarbons. If they are burning diesel, gonna need a rail siding and at least a couple of monster fuel tanks.
Wonder if they do interconnected tank trains?

The concept of a turbine is pretty much fuel-agnostic. Anything that can vaporize will be burned by a turbine.
