OK, more issues with the current rollout of LAV 6.0's: 1. As stated earlier, inherent design flaw with A/C condensation flowing into the double hull, incidentally where all of the critical wiring (non waterproof) resides. Hull needs 45 mins of draining for every 4 hours of operation; 2...

Instead of talking about what the Canadian Army should have for APCs/IFVs, how about we list out the several and significant issues being reported about the LAV 6.0 platform.  It is incredible what the troops are saying about this lemon of a vehicle. General Dynamics Canada needs to be held to...

What worked for me with these pads is wearing a bandanna or headwrap (like the ones from CP Gear) to ensure the helmet stays put.

A few things I did forget to mention. There are at least three points of potential weakness in the Expedition watch over the Mudman model of G-Shock: the outer plastic frame (mine cracked and almost broke off as mentioned earlier, and it wasn't that much force applied); the glass is not...

My Expedition got caught once in a doorframe while moving heavy furniture and the cheap plastic around the glass cracked. Not sure if the water resistance was compromised there as well. Battery is failing slowly as well, only after four years of use. Numbers fade almost completely when I turn on...

Right, but most people fail to do enough chinup reps in a set to cause enough stimulus for growth because of the one weak link in the chain of muscles that are being utilized - for most that is the forearm/hands. In other words, the smaller and weaker "gripping" muscles usually fail well before...

I second MG34 Tang18A - tell us how removing the handguards (which are removed for normal cleaning and maintenance anyways) and replacing them (one-for-one) with 1913 railguards is an unauthorized modification - is it somehow permanent? No gunsmithing going on as far as I can tell (unless very...
