Wonder what happened to coating the muzzle vicinity with a (copper based, can't remember) paste for corrosion protection from the powder gasses?

It shoould be all there AFAIK. It would not stop the pain from geting dirty when they fire the gun. Maybe they are not able to clean the area because the paint is to porous and may have been staind when the gun fired, just a guess.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

Probably a lot more than we could imagine. I bet you can buy a house for the same amount of money. :D

Not excatly but probabaly a deluxe mercedes would. ;)

 

What makes aeronatical material expensive is not the materials themselves but the ammount of time in making them and testing them. Sounds almost umbelievable but its true.

How much they costed?

 

For the F/A-18E, F about 60.000 US dollar the helmet, I guess it is the same price for the Polish F-16`s.

Sounds beliveable to me. You gotta recoup those costs in some way.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

These contract prices contain a whole a lot of other stuff besides the actual helmets like: spare parts, training, documentation, required avionics upgrades etc.
