Are you still on military grade stuff? Laaaaaaame, my bike is made out of space age materials.
“Is that good?”
“Depends on the context. Weapons? Yes. Food? No.”
still depends. food ranges from tastes ok to this meal will outlast you(against your wishes) weapons range from sometimes to yes
I remember once I used to work at a electronics shop, and some dipshit insisted on a “military spec” Bluetooth speaker.
Uhuh mate
Wrap it in silicon, plastic and duct tape and charge 10x the price.
Make sure its got camo paint finish
So it’s the cheapest, minimally viable product?
Military grade LSD is still the best thing I’ve heard. Can’t tell you what the military grade signifies in this context doe
Google “MKUltra”
Alright, I did - what’s next?
You just found military grade LSD
No, I only found information about it, what am I doing wrong?
Is military grade the same as mil-spec?
No. Mil-spec is an actual certified standard
Military grade is basically just “we made this shit to look like it’d be good as a prop in a movie” no actual standards, just good enough to sorta kinda sometimes work and is made as cheap as possible.
Edit; interesting comment by the other fella in the same reply chain, maybe “military grade” also encompasses stuff that’s made for specific purposes but doesn’t need to withstand rigorous standards, just be good enough for this one thing this one time and not much else
Granted, YMMV depending on country and region.
Yup.
EDIT: I see someone else commented that they’re not the same. The truth is… it depends.
When I was serving in the military, we used the two terms interchangeably. They were basically the same thing to us. Although “military grade” is a more common term in the civilian sector, we would still use it when working with contractors on custom military equipment.
So if you want to be pendantic, mil-spec may be the more official term in the military. But in practice, we don’t really differentiate between the two terms.
