Any big chunks would likely cause crushing/blunt damage rather than normal ballistic damage. small rock sized chunks would probably cause the most damage, as in sharply edged 1-3 inch long, ~1 inch thick or less, and while would not penetrate deeper than their length, would still not make a great time.

This is much easier said than done. Assuming you know how the sights work, the only two things keeping you from shooting accurately are the trigger pull and recoil anticipation (sometimes called flinching).\nFor the trigger pull, dry fire. A bunch. More than you're thinking. P365s are dry fire safe (as with most modern handguns). Practice pulling the trigger until you can reliably make it break without the sights moving at all, if you're new to shooting it might take time for the fine control muscles to get developed.\nAs for flinching, its pretty common that people will jerk the gun at the last moment as they are firing, pulling it off target (often low and to their non-dominant side). You can load snap caps into your mags at the range to better understand the concept, but the only way to beat it is shooting a lot and making yourself not flinch."}, {"id": 100, "content": ">>98\nI'll look into those grips.

Random people were encouraged to attack party officials (usually not physically) for failing to do their jobs and follow mao’s policies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticize_Lin,_Criticize_Confucius\nIt’s hard to talk about concisely but here we go - after stalin’s death mao was shocked by the Krushevite changes and the 180 on the cult of Stalin. It became apparent to mao that krushev had been preparing for such a coup and “shift to revisionism” for years before Stalin’s death. This lead to the sinno Soviet split. But at home mao began to fear a similar coup, believing it would originate in the party, which was actually huge and unwieldy and he never had anything like full control over (how could he given china’s size and the pre-modern state of infrastructure), and backed by the PLA. So Mao essentially tried to use the masses to control the party from below for him, through semi-organized and semi-directed campaigns of criticism and removal of party officials (sometimes violently) and trying desperately to keep the PLA from being independent\nNow, criticism from below was sort of mythologized in the party. During the civil war, retarded leadership were retards and were taking retatded advice from retarded Soviet advisors. This nearly wiped out the party and only didn’t because mao said “this is retarded we’re going north.”\nWhy was it so bloody?

You had costal militas, factories organized into political study groups that doubled as milita platoons, etc etc etc etc. these were explicitly trained to be wary for both internal and external threats\nAfter the sinno Soviet split the Chinese people were primed with endless essays, articles, speeches about the dangers of revisionism, the importance of adhering to the revolutionary path and maozedongthought, the dangers of party officials trying to turn the state against socialism and maoism and to fascism (which the Chinese would associate with the Japanese invasion of China). Mao has been telling them this is exactly what happened in the USSR, who are now threatening china with nuclear annihilation and denying them machinery which can lift them out of poverty, trying to destroy socialism.\nSo mao says\n>we need to organize struggle at all levels of society to protect against revisionism!\nAnd they take it to heart.

Notice how American high schoolers get extremely emotional about either things being too woke or not woke enough?

And it's complicated, because Stalin (and Mao) were paranoid and wanted to root out their enemies, alleged spies, traitors, and potentially disloyal people, but they also used mass mobilization and political commitment on the part of people at the bottom to help do it. Stephen Kotkin, the conservative historian who is finishing a three-volume biography of Stalin, described Stalin's rule as a form of \"participatory totalitarianism,\" which is an interesting phrase. Like this:\n\n>>131\n>Random people were encouraged to attack party officials (usually not physically) for failing to do their jobs and follow mao’s policies\nStalin encouraged that too, although in a somewhat different way. Your manager at a state-owned factory is disloyal? There have been accidents that injured a worker because of neglect?

I believe Mao also had a concept like \"permanent revolution\" or something. The French Revolution had its Jacobin phase which led to the Thermidorian reaction and then the rise of Napoleon. But Stalin had elements of each of these things, so you see Stalin adopting rather conservative policies in various areas, reintroducing pretty traditional military ranks with generals with shoulder bars, but then also adopting some of the most radical measures such as forced collectivization. That was not the case with Thermidor, the radical social experiments stopped, but not under Stalin (or Mao), in some areas they intensified.

There is no perfect bullpup BR though and I say that as someone who owns and likes one. All of them have tradeoffs. But all of the top newer ones are also solid and a ton of fun in varying ways, so I don't think you'd go wrong with whatever you liked so long as you make sure you understand what you're after and have the budget. Tavor 7 does have a 4 position AGB iirc so I assume if you pair that with a low backpressure can you should be able to tune it alright. How good a suppressor platform something is though is one of the things that can vary.\n\nAlso there are other advances to take into account, like if this year one of the more advanced flow through designs get applied to 30cal a lot of that tradeoff may go away on nearly any BR platform at all."}, {"id": 244, "content": ">>241\nEverything I’ve seen points to about 1.5 MOA which isn’t bad.\n\n>>243\nWhich ones do you think are better?

Trigger wasn't as good but good enough. Apparently it's not that accurate (again, even for a bullpup), though 2-4moa would still be gudenuf for hunting if you really wanted. I can't speak to that personally because I didn't shoot it enough for my own groups to mean anything.\n\nAlso forgot to mention one kinda interesting thing is that with the gas block one of the positions is just \"off\", you can literally turn it into a purely manual repeater.

I researched it a lot, I shot them a bunch, and I went with an MDR, but it does have one real design flaw/really weird choice (fixed block tied to rail section), whose importance will vary a bit. They've massively improved on quality, if you buy one right now you're getting a significant number of improvements, but there absolutely can still be lemons. Of my two, one worked perfectly, liked it enough got another (admittedly during coof off of shekelbroker), and it failed after one single shot. But then on another side, their warranty service was as good as I could wish. Zero bullshit, told them the problem, they sent me a label, paid for shipping both ways, had it done in a few weeks and that was over the xmas/new years holiday season too, and they also gave me upgrades to recent improvements. Which doesn't change the fact it broke after one shot and then I didn't have it for three weeks. They should bring everything in house already.\n\nBut I still love the thing. I can do 1.5moa groups with limited practice after finding the right ammo. Non-float block makes it stupid picky though for such an expensive gun. But T7 is apparently not a sub-moa hole driller either? It's lighter and shorter than the T7, like the trigger better (but variable), better after market, it has a 6 position block vs 3+off, forward eject is actually pretty cool. Split rail doesn't matter to me because I'm only using an LPVO, it could be a deal breaker for someone else, T7 is superior in that regard. They're both pretty ambi friendly. Then there's a bunch of little details, like grip storage, 3rd mag release, differences in rear bolt catch etc. A lot of that is really subjective.\n\nIf MDR had floating block, better rail setup, and if their 2023 efforts show real quality improvement I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. As it stands though maybe T7?"}, {"id": 252, "content": ">>251\nsorry for wall of text. Also I've seen mine go down to 1.3moa, which still isn't amazing, but haven't been able to do that consistently, and that itself is one of the issues, it's too damn picky in that regard. A very comprehensive review technically did submoa, but only with one single brand of ammo out of like dozens tested. And when I wrote about trigger varying, mind is 4 lbs something, but others have seen 5.5 lbs, which again is an example of inconsistent quality control. But they did a huge apology video a year ago and said they'd improve, so maybe it's better?\n\nBut that mere fact of rapid change is another problem. Tavor 7 has just plain been around longer, it's stable, you know what you get right? DT, like Keltec, continues to iterate, which in one way is a good thing, I mean shit, better to keep polishing something then just ignore flaws. But I can't give them full credit since it's not trivial to tell where you stand, and obviously it'd be better if it was smoother all along.\n\nI liked shooting the RFB too for what it's worth, though again I don't own one. I had one fte though with it and found it hard to clear that vs the others as one example downside.\n\nGuess this is all a lot of words to say it's a gun I like but that also gives me an idea of its faults and they're real. Don't want anyone to be disappointed. Guess I will lean towards suggesting the 7 might be best because you don't sound like you want to deal with any fiddling and I cannot honestly say with an MDR anything more than \"you'll get there in the end\". Check back in 2024/2025? Otherwise T7 is probably \"safer\"."}, {"id": 253, "content": ">>248\nGreat gun. Took a short break in period but after that I haven't had any issues that weren't mag related (using thermolds has never worked out so I just stick to steel/aluminum FAL mags). I've almost exclusively shot cheap M80 ball through it, and it groups around 2-2.5 MOA on my rifle. I did put a couple boxes of M118 through and I remember it being noticeably tighter at 100yds. Honestly I need to go buy a bunch of different higher quality ammo and see how it goes. With just regular M80 I've had good results from 0-500 yds, though. The steel rings and it's fun.\n\nPros: The gas adjustment is insane on this thing, there's 34 clicks on mine. You can make it run basically anything and have an enjoyable experience, mild recoil, etc. Other than that the usual bullpup perks of small package. Also the RFB definitely has one of the best stock triggers of the bullpups.\n\nCons: FAL mags. If you can't find good steel/aluminum, you'll have to settle for the various polymers. I don't like em at all, so I just paid up for the good stuff. People meme about plastic gun but only the lower assembly is actually plastic. The rest of it is all metal, making it pretty hefty (in a good way). If you're an accessory guy then the rail space might be lacking, even if you install the handguard rail.

They even called me up to check on how it was going after. But at the same time damn, there do seem to be a lot of lemons period. And no one WANTS to get a new gun, pull it out of the box, fire it up and whoops, off for service!

They sell this dinky little cheap pistol style RDS with a strange custom mount that attaches directly to that single rail section, and the idea is that you'd buy a bunch of these and have one for each barrel assembly, so you can have them all zeroed separately tied to a specific barrel assembly and go from 5.56 to 308 or whatever in the field and have an RDS work right away with no rezeroing, and this is supposed to be some neat thing worth all the tradeoffs.

It's also not a simple rifle to make, there's a lot of machining operations done on that receiver and bolt to make it function as it does. In contrast, development for the Gewehr 41 started in earnest in 1938 with the first prototypes complete in 1939, when war had already broke out. Semi auto rifles were still a relatively untested field in the 1930s so a lot of ideas had yet to be proven superior to others. The flap locking system worked well in the DP27 MGs and the patents on it had already expired so it was a logical choice to try out in a semi auto rifle for Walther. The first rifles for trials were made in the spring of 1941 and with the start of Operation Barbarossa, German industry was becoming strained trying to keep up with the demands of the Wehrmacht. The kneecapping requirements originally set out by the HWA didn't help either for the Gewehr 41 with trials beginning for the 2 rifles late in 1941. Experience with the SVT necessitated that the gas system be redesigned as well as the exorbitant cost and time involved in producing G41s with the first Gewehr 43 prototype submitted for testing in January of '43. The G43 was designed and significantly simplified the receiver and some of the bolt components, and wouldn't enter serial production until October of 1943. When you really get down into the weeds, the development for the G43 was extremely short compared to the Mauser 98 and done under a wartime environment that was becoming worse as time dragged on. It worked and the demands for better weaponry on the front significantly expedited all new wartime designs, even if they hadn't been perfected."}, {"id": 36, "content": "I went to a gunshow today and wonder of wonders they actually had a good selection of surps.\na bunch of interesting mauseroids from persia and south america along with the usual suspects, along some hakims, arisakas and a destroyer carbine\nI ended up picking up a berthier becuase I didn't want another mauseroid to add to my gorwing collection of mauseroids"}, {"id": 37, "content": ">>34\nflag_de\nalso the mauser action isn't exactly SIMPLE, it was just that good.

What you get at the end is a one-piece cartridge where the head of the case is work-hardened, the walls less so, and the mouth of the case is annealed by just heating up that section (military brass is discolored near the mouth and left that way on purpose as part of milspec requirement, commercial cases usually get a final wash and polish). This gives you a case head that can withstand the pressure when backed by the breech, a case wall that expands against the chamber during firing, and a mouth that can be tensioned to hold the bullet on its own, with the crimp being assurance in military settings.\nWhen you make a full steel case, now you have to use a steel alloy that won't fuck up your extractor but also gives you all these neat properties. You can't really get that, so the compromise is steel cases that don't actually expand as much as brass.

Also you guys are really fucking retarded for responding to the obvious shitpost that was first post.\nThe French just weren't really much good at battles. They usually ended up being very tactically inept. This was due to a number of factors. A lot of the time the French had a qualitative and quantitative advantage that meant they simply couldn't be bothered to take a safer approach and instead hunted for glory. This was compounded by cultural factors. There was as strong tendency for level-headed commanders to be accused of cowardice, which was a social death and led to saner battle plans to be discarded. French commanders were frequently nepotistic, headstrong, arrogant,incompetent, and any other flaw of a cartoon villain noble you care to name, but that was also a flaw of the English so not a deciding factor. However the English did have a \"doctrine\" that tempered their worse commanders (usually the ones who ignored said doctrine) and handily countered the usual French approach to war, that being of finding and then preparing a strong defensive position and terrain, and waiting for an attack. So that's tactics and generalmanship dealt with, at which the French were remarkably inferior and any quick skimming of the three famous battles (Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt) of the Hundred Years War, or outside of that, Courtrai, Nicopolis, would attest to. Also interesting to note the sheer span of time between these battles, that gives a hint as to how institutional it was.\n(1/4)"}, {"id": 67, "content": ">>unknown\nSo how did the French prevail? The war was won mostly on the strategic side. Estimates place England around a third of France's economy. At the start of the war, England was a well-taxed and administrated country by the standards of the time. However, with every victory England won a Pyrrhic victory. English administration with regards to conquered territories were inept, and they were financially a loss for the English crown, the spoils of war going into private hands while the expenses of defense fell on the crown, and often annoying the local native lords. With every win, England lost money. With every win, the French crown wrestled greater powers and taxes from the towns and lords, and the Hundred Years War culminated into France becoming the most centralized and tax-bearing country in Europe. Meanwhile, England struggled, its formerly strong taxation not looking so hot against the new (French) standards of the time and decreasing from changes in the wool and wine industry. Unlike France, it could not neither take advantage of victories or turn losses into a reason to tax heavier, and as it had gained a habit of taking loans to finance the wars, was permanently in debt and unable to wage war except by taking on even more debt and using emergency taxes to pay debts that stretched back decades. Diplomatically, as time passed, the English position got worse as they lost allies. The loss of Spain meant they could no longer count on control of the sea. The loss of Britanny lost them a convenient staging area into France. The loss of Flanders lost them money. On the operational side, the French for the first half of the war pursued a Fabian strategy of avoiding big battles. At this they were very successful, although there was the occasional large battle where they got BTFO when they got mad about it and had to relearn why they stayed out of the way of the English"}, {"id": 68, "content": ">>67\nSo, in the end how essential were the longbowmen? Really fucking vital. They enabled England to punch well above its weight. At Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt the English were hideously outnumbered and out-qualitied only the benefit of hindsight could possibly give them the lightest chance of winning. The beginning of the war started with a ratio of 1:1 longbowmen:men at arms, and ended with 10:1. The longbowmen got the attention, but it was part of a combined arms system that would not had worked without the English learned habit of dismounting for combat. But the key ingredient wasn't the longbow, which was just the standard war bow of Europe. It was the willingness to field archers in large numbers, integrate them into the tactics and formations the the English army, institutionalize their use and tactics, give them the respect due to them from their battle-winning prowess. All things the French never did, who stopped at the first half step (mandating a certain number of archers per parish). tl;dr archers are OP, Total War got it right (surprisingly)."}, {"id": 69, "content": ">>67\n>Estimates place England around a third of France's economy\nBased anon remembering that wars are won by money, money, and more money.

The \"bigger sell-swords who got put into armor and lent a horse?\" could describe a noble and a commoner equally. (My speculation) On the French side, who had vast reserves of men and thus could afford to care a lot more about that stuff, your typical man at arms would indeed be a noble. Not necessarily one that would be landed though, there were plenty of itinerant men at arms, dirt poor (well, as poor as you can get while still owning the trappings of a man at arms) and probably indistinguishable in skill and equipment from a rich commoner who by career or interest pursued such things (end speculation). On the English side, being more pragmatic by the necessities of the war and culture, having already accepted longbowmen as instrumental to their victories, the common folk making it into to the ranks of men at arms was far more common. For example, the rather excellent theses \"English castle garrisons in the Anglo-Scottish wars of the fourteenth century\" by David Cornell reveals an astonishing level of upward mobility, (page 165, e.g. William Wisse), with multiple men (clearly rich and respected) rising up the ranks from crossbowmen to become men at arms and some constables seem to have even did this as a matter of policy (!), and all this was even before the genesis of the longbowmen having a starring role in the English army. The mounted longbowmen of castle garrisons, having replaced hobelars and expected to take the key offensive role that castle garrisons are known and intended for, must had been trained and expected to engage in mounted combat, a far sight from the typical image of archers that rode to then dismounted for battle that usually accompanies the phrase \"mounted longbowman\".

One question is how skilled and suitable these new men would had been for the rigours of mounted combat. There were indeed complaints about such nouveau riche entering the ranks of men at arms, but they concerned good breeding and manners but oddly enough, nothing about their actual fighting prowess, so I must conclude training was not a problem.\n\nIncredibly the Holy ROman Empire had the Ministerialis, a class of men almost contradictory to explain - military serfs or unfree \"nobles\", they can by considered as commoner knights too.\n\nAs an aside, I would heavily recommend the imaginatively named monographs \"The Hundred Years War\" by Jonathan Sumption which comprises 5 volumes and goes into great detail about the war and contains a great many anecdotes of the nature similar to what I have described above.\n\nFuck the word limit, and my god, if I hear anything about nobles who trained all their lives to have huge swinging dicks riding down vast hordes of unwashed peasants like as if we went back time and am reading straight out of a yellow-paged journal from the 1850s I will end you."}, {"id": 79, "content": ">>69\n>I dread to even think what France would be like today if their population growth hadn't mysteriously cratered in the 19th century\nWell there would be what, between 150 and 200 millions of french now?\nFair to think that they would have won WW1 and WW2 in continental Europe on their own, if the wars happened at all.

Basically gunships. Something that zooms into orbit as fast as possible, drops a payload of warheads onto the surface, and hits the burners to break orbit just as quickly.

A rod of tungsten about the size of a telephone poll fired at 60% C at a planet would blow the planet up. There's no armor or PDWs that will ever be enough. The only way to not die will be to not get hit. So there won't be big debris fields that choke off a planet, because no one will be dumb enough to build massive structures or ships to create such a thing. Or, well... I should rephrase that, because humanity is stupid. Someone WILL build a big thing, and it will inevitably be destroyed, and then the lesson learned after will be \"Oh, we shouldn't build big targets anymore\", since a lot of people will have to die before lessons are learned.

The lower air pressure will reduce the natural convection heat transfer, the guns will heat up very fast and will takes longer time to cool down. Any expose metal part should be cover in the equivalent of full body barrel shroud that prevents any contact between the hot metal to any flammable material if the gun dropped or fall down. Two unexpected perks of the lower pressure; firstly sound transfer reduced by the lower air density and with combine with the obligatory silencers eliminate the need of hearing protection. Second; the lower air density, a fifth of Earth sea level, meant that the air drag is also approximately fifth of what the bullet face in normal Earth air. Most if not all of the special purpose cartridges designed for reduced hull penetration and reduce over-penetration have terrible aerodynamic properties.

They are about the share of food/feed for final consumption in China.\n\nChina didn't loose tons of arable land or forget how to farm over the last two decades. What happened is that food grown in China got relatively more expensive due to gains in foreign productivity and because wages rose dramatically. Since more Chinese can work in non-farming jobs, wages need to be higher to get labor. Chinese land, overall, is also not a fertile as that of other major food exporters.\n\nSo China imports more because it is cheaper. Chinese farming decreased due to competition but could be restarted in a war, and they still make 95% of their own cereals and are net exporting calories from cereals.\n\nThe ratios aren't about calories, what keeps people alive, but in $ amounts. China got richer and eats way, way more meat and out of season fresh produce. This is significantly more expensive and also is more likely to be imports (either meat itself or the feed).\n\nChina can and does produce enough calories to keep their population alive. Currently they are getting more obese. 42% of adults there are overweight or obese now.\n\nLosing imports would cause high prices and force people to eat differently and even likely actual hunger problems in some regions (more to food be rerouted to rich Han areas from minority areas realistically) but some huge % or even a % dying of starvation is fucking retarded."}, {"id": 85, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>2027\nThis is cope.

To provide any sort of guidance you need to blast that missile with high frequency and high amplitude transmissions, indeed they required an entire generator system based on the ground in order to provide the needed energy. The maximum distance this was possible was about 50 miles and about half that in practical terms because the atmosphere the atmosphere was nearly opaque to radio transmission of such high frequency and amplitude.\n\nSo to provide terminal guidance to a missile moving that quickly you would require a ground based(or very large ship) sort of energy to transmit your guidance to the missile and it would require a line of sight, which isn't so bad when you are firing a Sprint up at an incoming warhead, but if you are firing at a ship or ground target line of sight isn't even close to the 25 mile range of Sprint. This normally wouldn't be a problem for radio transmissions but you need directed radio pulses to the missile just to speak with it so it does matter in this instance.\n\nThere are ways around this problem, you could have the missile slow down rapidly as it nears its target, which is one the reasons I assume the Chinks are so interested in maneuvering vehicles. Now assuming that your target hasn't moved outside of the maneuvering vehicle's envelope of attack it can then use its own internal systems for guidance or receive outside guidance much easier. Given it is now essentially guiding under Mach4 it can indeed be interdicted with currently available systems. Now is there time to do so? Depends on the circumstances.

Secondly how will it use any radar if it is going Mach 10 an surrounded by a sheath of plasma opaque to radar emissions, it couldn't blast through the sheath let alone receive any meaningful radar returns? Answer the question or accept that it's not traveling Mach 10 during terminal guidance.\n\nNow that said I assume despite your esl diction that you are asking it if can find a carrier once it does slow down and begin a volume search for a target matching the one given it when it launched, correct? Well the smallest aesa i can find is from Raytheon with a volume of 71 x 37cm which is acceptable assuming chinks have an equivalent. Larger and more capable radars will require mor space with all that implies for the performance of the vehicle and the size of the warhead. I would assume that the glide vehicle would enter a search pattern to sweep its radar cone about until it finds the target so its size is somewhat moot.

Ukraine was basically a test (for China) to see how the West might respond to a Taiwan invasion, and it certainly did not go the way China had hoped. I mean honestly I don't think anyone expected the US, let alone NATO to stand up for Ukraine the way they did. NATO was seriously on the verge of dying in likely 5-10 years time and the Ukrainian war has completely revived NATO as even cucked countries like Germany are forced to see that Russia was never an ally that you could trust and that you need to actually invest in your military.\n\nI don't see China actually invading Taiwan now for at least another 5-10 years. I can't imagine the rage the Chinese leadership has to be feeling towards Russia for their ineptitude in Ukraine and how they couldn't even perform their role of keeping NATO occupied. NATO hasn't even felt bothered to send any of its valuable equipment to Ukraine like our jets, naval power or actual soldiers as our Cold War era surplus has been more than a match for Russian military equipment and the Ukrainian soldiers, despite being outnumbered and outgunned in the beginning, were able to stop the Russian push towards Kyiv before any major Western aid, sans very low numbers of Javelins & NLAW's, had arrived."}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>13\nBallistic missiles in general have a wide CEP, which is part of the reason the West doesn't use conventionally armed ones much anymore"}, {"id": 17, "content": ">>15\nIs it because of the Olympics or was it just a coincidence because that's around the time the snow starts to clear up?"}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>15\nIt's questionable if China will be interested in Taiwan in 5-10 years considering how its current trajectory comes from Xi Jinping's goals and he's 69."}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>17\n\nRussia had wanted to invade much earlier than February but was told \"no\" by China because of the focus on the Winter Olympics and thus the terrain of Ukraine in late February was very unfavorable for an invasion"}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>15\nNot invading Ukraine would have been the most big brained move Russia could have made, it would have embarrassed the US as Saber raddlers, they could have continued to infiltrate German politics and continued to show that NATO isn't needed anymore."}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>18\n\nExactly, and that's why I said I can't imagine the hostility and rage Xi's party must be feeling towards Russia for likely completely fucking up China's Taiwan plan.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one.

I have like 10 plus people that all saw me pretty well suffering from this, and multiple different nurses and doctors treated me from different ends of the state. It is so fucking weird that they detected nothing. Could the warehouse have been neutralized in some way? Could the radioactive particles been a gas that escaped after I entered the site?

It was when I started throwing up I decided something was actually wrong and went to the hospital. My white blood cells were mostly fine, which is good news. Bad news my gut bacteria was mostly dead. Both in my stool sample and my urine sample. The reason they gotta take 8 additional (9 total) viles of blood is because the breakdown of your cells from radiation can happen over a prolonged period of time. So they measure the rate by which your cells are dying, over the course of an eight hour period, to kind of predict how fucked you're gonna be later. Because the symptoms suck now, but in 2 weeks to 6 months all of those symptoms come back again twice as fucking bad. It's returning symptoms or latent symptoms whatever you want to call it. When you get ARS it isn't the initial symptoms that usually kills you. You get the symptoms, feel terrible. But then you recover, feel better for a few weeks. Then bam it comes back twice as bad and then you die. Radiations really fucked, and the way it effects your body really depends on how much, how quickly, and in what way you absorbed the radiation.

If we're talking about a gamma emitter, simply removing the source removes the radiation. If we're talking about dust, then yes, that can also dealt with in several ways, but you're going to know that someone went in there and cleaned up. A proper decon, if even possible, is not subtle. Nor is fixing the contamination in place, but I don't see that happening in a location that the public can access. Fixed contamination isn't a problem for people that know where it is and how to handle it, but those people are not the general public.

I'm curious about why they started looking into radiation sickness in the first place. There are other conditions that can produce those symptoms, and I'd think that radiation sickness is generally not the first thing that a doctor is going to suspect, especially if the bloodwork looks decent. I'm also curious about whether or not they checked your clothing for contamination, whether or not the NRC was notified, and what the follow up looked like.

I had to use my flashlight maybe twice to quickly spot some stumps. At the closest I could see the guy inside the patrol boat. He was leaned over and his arms were crossed. My hypothesis is he was watching youtube videos or something all night, and just wasn't paying attention when I floated by. It's also worth saying, this is a fucking lake. If he heard something bouncing around or some noise, he'd just assume it was any couple hundred people's boats moored on the shore.

Or it could be standard burueacratic fuckery.\n\nThe bloodwork monitoring checks out. You can actually estimate a dose pretty accurately that way. Likewise, if you've received a dose but you're not internally contaminated, there's not a huge amount to be done in terms of treatment.\n\n>1 gy\nThat's a spicy dose but you'll be fine. To put things in perspective, I've accumulated about 1.5% of that over ten years of nuclear work, some of that being in fairly hot (at least for us) areas. OSHA allows 5% of that as an annual dose for radiation workers. So yeah, you don't want to make this a habit, but generally speaking if it doesn't kill you or really fuck you up your life will go on as normal.\n\n>I wonder if the NRC or some other body did come to the site after I went to the hospital and removed the source of the radiation\nThat's what should have happened. When they hear about an orphan source, they're pretty aggressive about removing it. I'd think that there would have been some sort of public mention about it based on similar situations in the past, but then again that's no guarantee that every past situation was made public either. My employers don't tell the public shit because there's no reason for them to know, as they're not in any danger.\n\nWhile I've got you here, I do have a couple of questions: what made you suspect radiation exposure, and how long were you in that truck stop?"}, {"id": 134, "content": ">>132\nThe last of my good pics, I like to imagine whoever did this really hated having to read the Odessey, that or they hate the Simpsons"}, {"id": 135, "content": ">>114\n>1 gray"}, {"id": 136, "content": ">>133\nFirst the camera distortions, then the symptoms.

What's worse is that you probably picked most of that up in a much shorter time when you were near the source.\n\nI don't think that it had anything to do with the pictures but that's not my area of expertise. I suppose that it might have. If all of the distortions occurred in pictures taken in one part of the building, that would suggest (but does not prove) that radiation had something to do with it. It would also suggest where the source was.\n\nNow that you mention it, I do vaguely remember that thread. I had questions but I'm not sure if I asked them at the time. Orphan sources and inadvertent radiation exposures are something that interest me and I appreciate you clarifying things for me.\n\nJust thought to add that you should mention this to your primary healthcare provider if you haven't already. My intent is not to alarm you, but studies have shown that high doses across a large population do seem to correlate with an increased risk for some long term health issues, even if that risk on an individual level is very low. Prudence would dictate that you let your doctor know so that you could be screened for things that wouldn't be warranted for the average person, just in case.\n\n>nuc worker annual physical covers a lot more than the average person's\n>welcome to the family\n>you're in for life"}, {"id": 140, "content": ">>136\n>>137\n>>139\n\nContamination anon again.

Or the stalker group who came later just simply didn't go to the contaminated area of the building I was in. I find it unlikely since it seems like they did explore it pretty thoroughly. I'm leaning towards there having been some kind of quiet removal of contaminated material. They might not have wanted to dig up and tack on to the safety violation history plus dragging the uranium enrichment factory through the mud again. There could be political reasons they didn't want to tell the public there was a rogue pocket of radiation in their backyard. Lots of people would want that to be as quiet as possible.

We'd been in the place for about 4 hours and then we heard 2 grown men yelling and knocking things around maybe 100 yards away from us in another part of the factory. We fucking hightailed it out of there. Pretty sure it was biomass employees. But I wasn't stickin around to see. We loaded into the car and tried to get out by the front gate.

Then he's probably got 1 camera pointed where most people drive by.\n\nAs far as in the rear, the atv trails (that's what they look like to me) definitely have gates on them. If you inserted by the woods, you would have to do so way behind the structure somewhere south of east fultonham. Then you'd have to navigate all those redneck woods without getting caught. Either way you insert it's gonna be an uphill hike and you're gonna be hopping some barbed wire. That or you'd have to go in by lake isabella, which would be a closer trek but way more security and higher chance some random family is gonna spot you. There's no easy way to do it. You could, in theory. Jump out of the car on 22 and wade up johnathon creek into the structure. I don't see anything stopping you from doing that. I know from personal experience that creek is too shallow for a boat. Plus if there's fencing everywhere else they probably have a grate on the creek too.

I had a retard moment and thought that was johnathon creek but it's actually the muskingum river. that means no wading and no boats unfortunately (muskingum is perilous as fuck). Path A on the left in red is 1 mile even and we hope off at the bridge on 22 and walk the bank of the river using the woods as cover alllll the way back to the structures. Path B on the right in blue is 0.62 miles. We slow down like we're going to the municipal water source on the opposite side of the road, instead we hop out and run into the woods when there's no cars. There's no camera's on the exterior of the municipal water buildings that point towards the road. Then again we walk the banks of the river all the way back to the structure. I have someone who would be our driver and pick us up and drop us off. If shit went south we'd have half an hour to forty five minutes until we'd have evac at the soonest. Of course how we'd get the hell to the road anyways in 45 minutes is another story. If anyone's down to do this shit I'd do it too. I think if we do it we do it right. We need the camo and gear to hide in the woods. We need the guns in case of crackheads which could be a real possibility, it's a huge site. Opsec and light discipline would be absolutely crucial. There's many little nooks and crannies and crevices to hide in and camp over night. I don't know about fires, might have to be a flameless heater outing. If we planned it right we'd be in and out. Best to step off in the morning so we don't need nvg's and flashlights won't stick out while we navigate the woods. Plus in the early morning it's less likely people are up and moving around looking for stalkers.

A Leopard 1 can also be covered in ERA just as well as a Russian tank too. In real life, the Russian tanks are also being refurbished with inferior equipment, are more poorly maintained, etc.. so the Leopards will probably be better. Which si an insane thing to think.

Obviously the Mossberg 46 can't really according to anon.\nI don't *think* that any of the rifles I mentioned in this post can be single-loaded from the top, at least not without just putting a round directly into the chamber. The tube magazine cannot be loaded from the action-end of the rifle either due to the lifter assemblies that pop rounds out of the tube and up into line with the bolt. (see shitty upside down pic of Remington 512 barrel/receiver/lifter assembly I had to repair)\nDo you mean loaded from the top/ejection port into an internal box magazine, like a Mauser/military style bolt action? None that I know of (other than single shot rifles).\n.22 LR doesn't really lend itself to being stacked vertically due to being rimmed. Either you have to curve the magazine (like a Ruger BX-25 or the magazines used in older Winchester and Savage rifles), or you have to have a slanted magazine (like the Ruger Mark series of handguns), where the rims won't interfere.\nI think there's also a Keltec handgun that uses a weird staggered/4-column magazine, but the point still stands:\n.22 LR is more difficult to stack in an internal box magazine than rifle cartridges like .30-06, 8mm, etc. It can be done with rimmed cartridges (se .303 British in Enfield rifles). It's also a small round, so it may be more difficult to manipulate into an internal box magazine that's buried down in the receiver/action of a rifle.\nJust my thoughts on the topic"}, {"id": 161, "content": "Old speedmaster"}, {"id": 162, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nI really need to get a semi-auto .22 rifle but there's so much red tape to buying semi-autos in my state it's almost not worth it.

Yeah, it could've but F-22 already exists. If you're producing something to replace F-16, it needs to be more affordable than F-22 and F-35 is indeed more affordable than other comparable aircraft. I mean come on, French are selling Rafale for the price of F-35.\n\n2) It would've been more reliable as there's a backup engine! If you already achieve reliability goals with a single engine, there's no reason to have a second one. Sure, you can have a backup engine but it's just overkill, it's not an optimized solution it's just throwing more of the most expensive component in the platform into the problem for edge cases (getting shot and losing only one engine when both are so tightly packed together is not really a case you need to cover, and if the engines are failing regularly they're trash engines, having two of them is a bad solution without engine improvements).\n\n3) It would've been cool!

Being unstable is not the only thing that determines how maneuverable an aircraft is. F-35 for sure is less maneuverable than F-16, but in my opinion the difference is greatly exaggerated because it lost some dogfights (not all tests) against F-16 it's intended to replace. The cases it lost aren't really the modern usecase scenarios for the F-35.

This armor is able to sense and analyze the direction, velocity, and energy of incoming projectiles, and deploy nanobots to reinforce the armor in real-time, reducing the damage caused by enemy fire.\n\nThe tank is powered by a fusion reactor, providing limitless energy to the vehicle and its onboard systems. It can reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour on any terrain and traverse difficult terrain easily thanks to its advanced adaptive suspension system.\n\nThe X-100 is armed with a modular weapons system that includes a railgun capable of firing hypersonic projectiles at extreme ranges, and a directed energy weapon that can rapidly incinerate enemy targets. It also features a suite of drone swarms that can be launched from the tank to conduct reconnaissance, surveillance, and attack missions.\n\nThe tank is equipped with a fully autonomous operating system that includes advanced artificial intelligence algorithms capable of making split-second decisions and adapting to changing battlefield conditions. Its crew of two can operate the tank remotely from a secure command center, providing additional protection and flexibility in combat operations.\n\nThe X-100 is also equipped with a quantum communication system that allows it to transmit and receive information instantly across vast distances, providing unprecedented situational awareness and connectivity to other friendly units."}, {"id": 32, "content": "Army, Marines and Navy buys 10,000 of them before even one has rolled out from the assembly line"}, {"id": 33, "content": ">>24\n>Nothing of that post is untrue.\nThe truth is elegant, you are merely describing \"fact.\"\nI take offense to some retard seeing a thread that is clearly designed to allow people to take pot-shots at Lockheed Martin's past projects without outright saying that's what they're doing, being an unfunny twat with their crack at it, and then having the audacity to label the joke afterwards - just in case anyone got confused by the deep intricacies of the fucking F-35, the most extensively documented and discussed military procurement project in recent history.\n\nClearly taking offense was the correct call, because your post is more unsubtle, unfunny soapboxing about the F-35, the very thing I called out, and you don't so much as bother trying to tie your prattle back to a hypothetical Lockheed Martin MBT project even once.\nDisgraceful."}, {"id": 34, "content": ">>31\nWhen you ask ChatGPT to write a press release."}, {"id": 35, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nThree large car engines welded together at the front of the tank as protection\nTurret bussle longer and wider than the tank hull itself is wide and long\nA second gun to make it like red alert\nThe infantry are all in the turret not the hull, meaning the tank actually fares better running away."}, {"id": 36, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>Expensive to taxpayers\n>Do y'all need an intern?"}, {"id": 37, "content": ">>1 (OP)\none word. lasers."}, {"id": 38, "content": ">>35\n>A second gun\nOn the back of the turret, so it never has to traverse more than 180 degrees."}, {"id": 39, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nGame changing stealth tank\nEverybody hates it\nIt's actually good\nCanada spends years seething about Leopard 19 and Challenger X before buying it anyway"}, {"id": 40, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nAutoloader, full 360 VR helmet coverage for crew, integrated autonomous drone providing real time intel from an area up to 2km, completely automated turret, autonomous LMG, 360 APS, amphibious, modular, thermal camouflage, diesel electric engine\n\nthe costs of a single unit corresponds to full healthcare coverage for 100 Americans for 2000 years"}, {"id": 41, "content": ">>40\nI think this post was supposed to be funny and/or amusing but it is trite and you are boring."}, {"id": 42, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nSlow.

Quadrupeds are faster and more stable but are larger and less human shaped, and hexapedal walkers are even worse in that regard, however hexapods can maintain a walking gait of half of the legs off the ground and half in the air while maintaining three points of contact with the earth which makes them twice as fast as a quadruped also trying to maintain three points of contacr. Picrel is the ASV, which used six legs and had a pilot who used a relatively simple control interface not entirely unlike a regular vehicle. Most 2 and 4 legged walkers have had an operator who controls the limbs individually (pedipulator for 2 legs, furrion exobionic suit and GE's walking truck for 4), which makes them more versatile in terms of movement but would probably make operating weapons more difficult, (there are definitely ways around this, but having a machine handle the walking would probably still be ideal)."}, {"id": 32, "content": ">>8\nThe only practical use for one I have ever seen was the one from the original mobile suit gundam.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one.

South Korea doesn't really have much of a real response to this, and even with how outdated and poorly equipped and supplied North Korean forces are, they have an overwhelming advantage in manpower and armor deployed near the border, so seizing a buffer area and pushing deep, at least in the short term, is entirely doable.\n\nThey could never realistically seize the entire peninsula before South Korea got their shit together and started leveraging their air power to make any North Korean advances prohibitively costly even for uncaring North Korean leadership, but pushing them out of South Korea would be difficult and costly. Upon finally achieving that, the push into North Korea itself would be immensely difficult and potentially even impossible for South Korean forces on their own. You have to consider, North Korea is dotted with an enormous network of deep tunnels and is extremely mountainous. The entire country is built for these kinds of scenarios, with every road and pass specifically created with it in mind. If push comes to shove they can just blow the mountain passes, use tunnels to shift forces around and concentrate in the few areas that are relatively easy for advancing forces to maneuver in.\n\nNeither side has sufficient capabilities to take the other out singlehandedly, and neither force is really built to do so. North Korea is a much weaker country than South Korea but it focuses nearly all of its capabilities on these kinds of scenarios. Their defensive strategy is built to negate South Korean air superiority, constrain South Korean logistics, and use transportation constraints to force South Korean forces into pockets while North Korean forces can more quickly and freely shift around.

Also if you're interested in a non-chrome lined barrels AISI 4150V is a better material as the .15-.2% V is very hard carbide former and a very strong grain refiner, IMO unnecessary in a properly chrome lined barrel. Coatings are absolutely growing breaking in most engineering fields these days especially in corrosion, wear applications and shock applications, chrome lining has an interesting property where it cracks and fractures while maintaining integrity which allows for it to have a better lubricity than a regular alloy steel barrel."}, {"id": 27, "content": ">>25\nOld Colt >>> Poor State Armory"}, {"id": 28, "content": ">>23\n>https://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-20-classic-a2-rifle.html\n>Colt\n>same parts worse receiver"}, {"id": 29, "content": ">>27\nlol no"}, {"id": 30, "content": ">>29\nlol yes?

I'm arguing what is best from a service perspective, for longevity of the gun and in terms of maintaining the accuracy and reliable function, chrome lining is simply better than nitride and can be had for barely more the price of a new M&P 15 (which uses neither nitride nor chrome), I am amazed actually at how expensive that firearm is now. I'm not just arguing for just for Chrome here though, there's more to the processing of a barrel than that.

A poorly done lining is worse than no lining.\nAbsolutely true, it would 1000% be better to have no lining than an improper one, that said I've seen how much abuse the properly chrome lined barrels can take and it's quite impressive. If the lining is applied improperly or surface preparation/acid prep/cleaning processes prior to plating is done in a poorly maintained bath, it is possible for chrome lining to improperly adhere to the steel. Usually what happens is they use the same cleaning solutions and acids for pickling the metal for too long as a cost savings measure and it gets contamination and loses efficacy. If the lining adherence fails it will cause gas blowby as the bullet travels down the barrel, you will lose velocity and a lot of accuracy in the worst case rifle barrels, no producer is immune from this but some basic mitigations make it very unlikely to occur.\n\n>FN, undoubtedly does it right. I wouldn't want some mid-tier chrome lining though particularly since I put more maybe 1,000 rounds a year through an AR; more of a pistol guy.\nThey do it right most of the time, easier to work with than colt I imagine given how they took the contracts from them, there is USG scrutiny to force them to do the right thing if cpk drifts or an audit fails, adds cost but lowers the risk of problems in production.\n\n> I wouldn't want some mid-tier chrome lining though... 1,000 rounds a year through an AR; more of a pistol guy.\nUnderstandable, the thing is that it can be had for the price of most mid-tier ARs, that's why it's recommended so often. Since you already have ARs I wouldnt worry about it much, even a basic 4140 barrel is satisfactory for most and there is better materials for accuracy if that's the goal, I'm certain yours will outlast you shooting 1k a year, maybe a slight accuracy loss as it ages and the bore widens from wear."}, {"id": 42, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nLooks kool"}], [{"id": 1, "content": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJStKBe_Bho [Embed]\nzbros are we going to re-enact the fulda gap in ukraine with leopard 1s and t-62s??????????????????"}, {"id": 2, "content": ">Not even a bit of interest"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>2\nWhat do you want me to say? \"Wow, it's an unmaintained piece of shit!\"?

Like maintainer-anon said we went from hydro-mechanical / mechanical systems to almost full digital if not full digital systems. We've also got a fuckton more sensors in the engine. To some extent this was actually a development from the commercial side, due to airlines requiring more than just \"remove and inspect the turbine every X flight hours\". A lot of the maintenance can be done only when required, which allows time between inspections to be extended a lot longer.\nRegarding materials, it's a huge thing. AFAIK Ruskies have monocrystal blades but they haven't had them for very long and China is still in its infancy in terms of developing them and using them. They're huge in terms of improving turbine life as one of the major factors is material creep, that is the tendency for materials to permanently deform at high temperatures under constant load. The creep rate is a major barrier to extending turbine life as those clearances between the blade and casing are critical and rub gets worse as the blades wear (contact of blade with the casing, yes that's the term used in industry). The US has since moved on from mono-crystal blades however, and into ceramic-ceramic composites, most commonly SiC fiber reinforced SiC, which is an order of magnitude better in terms of creep rates compared to superalloys.\n\nJust as a side note, all of what I said is unclassified and openly available information.

I always wondered why there's such a huge disparity when it comes to Soviet and post-Soviet turbine life in fighters. What knowledge I have is effectively that the Soviets while having some exotic alloys always lagged behind in the actual minutia of implementation regarding production at scale for things like monocrystaline blades or blisks along with lacking the amount/volume of Western machining equipment which in itself became a scandal when some machines or machine controls went to the USSR. What I never got is why the growth rate on turbine life and maintenance periods sucked balls so much after 2000+ because it seemed to lag behind even Vietnam era turbines.\n\nSo it wouldn't be wrong to say that Soviet and present day Russian turbines are closer to like a car engine that doesn't have knock sensors and a rudimentary acoustic knock sensor on the block while the latest US turbines are like car engines that can measure knock among other things from using the spark plugs via cylinder ionization? Tons more sensor data means a lot more fidelity on the conditions inside the engine so they can push them to the very limit for output but not push engine life because whatever needs to be tweaked at that moment in operation is done by the computer to preserve turbine life. Meanwhile the metaphorical Russian engine wouldn't sense that the spark plug is running cold and fouling so it would never lean back the mixture whereas the metaphorical US engine would sense those conditions immediately and correct the mixture while under power demand.\n\n>China and monocrystals\nHuh interesting. There was some chest thumping about how they were putting monocrystal blades into production. Watching Chinese turbine development over the past 20 years made it seem like they were very slow but there was a lot of noise in the past 5-ish years about how they finally were going to toss the Saturns and go with their homegrown solution."}, {"id": 158, "content": ">>154\nSince Russia had plenty of US engines to play with over the years that leaves inability to produce the materials and perhaps some parts, not perform common manufacturing operations. They had alloy samples (the parts) but that doesn't tell you how to produce that alloy or manufacturer the part. Bearings are critical to engine time between teardowns so I expect theirs sucked. There isn't much left beside those factors.\n\nCurrent Russian inability to produce railcar cassette bearings in volume tells me they grossly neglected manufacturing for a very long time. Of course they had foreign co's supply them like SKF but cassette bearings are not exotic. The import dependence tells me Russian plants assembled the bearings but probably didn't manufacture the parts.\n\nJ-79s weren't perfect but were tough. When I was at Moody we had two Dobbins Phantoms land after the wingman hit leads horizontal stab with his radome. The radome disintegrated but the parts only forced shutdown of one engine and they landed safely. The stab and engine were replaced with no particular fuss. Many pilots were SEA vets and trained hard. We had one break engine mounts in an over-G but the doors held them in place. J-79s were also filthy (crude fuel controls meant soot and lots of it) but I was a Comm/Nav troop at the time so not my problem.

Still I don't get why they did jack shit to preserve their T-80Us, they're better than a T-80B as a base to work with.\n\n>>183\n>turbine vs diesel\nPersonal opinion but I think the AbramsX concept would have been better off with a very modern, smaller sized turbine in a parallel hybrid drivetrain where it can act as direct mechanical drive with an electric motor set for the CVT and to absorb excess power to control the issue with low load conditions making the SFC of the turbine suck. That would preserve much of the acoustic advantage of the turbine along with the electric silent mode capabilities in conjunction with rubber band tracks. Not to say that stealth tanks are going to be the future but it would have been a bigger flex as a tech demo tank. Maybe big-little turbine or something where you have one optimized for average operational speed and the other one is the turbine when you need combined 1,500HP out of the drivetrain. Complexity is a bitch tho even if automotive has a lot of that nailed down at smaller power output.\n\n>>182\nThink it is either or for the air.\n\n>consumer\nI still think a good deal of consumer electronics are shit from watching enough repair and teardown videos where there's a lot of apathy for the design.

Russia has shown that if nothing else they are able and willing to round up hundreds of thousands of citizens and send them to the front.

And even at the ludicrous hypothetical 1:10 loss ratio there wouldn't be enough manpower.\n\nBut Estonia isn't quite on it's own. Time would likely actually be working against the Russians who'd probably want to pull off a sort of a fait accompli before anyone in the West managed to organize any support or set the American juggernaut steaming towards St. Petersburg. Sort of what Russia tried to pull with Ukraine at first. This is the scenario against which Estonia has to hold on its own, otherwise Russians could manage to install a puppet (say, a traitorous cabinet minister) and muddy the waters enough that it's not clear whether what's happening is an invasion, a coup, or a Parisian Easter. But getting the drop on Estonia wouldn't be that easy. Any preparations, and there would have to be, would likely be detected and Estonians would have time to partially call up the reserves. If Russians decided to slowly \"boil the frog\" then I've heard that Estonians would respond by having a sort of \"rolling\" exercises for their reservists, where a portion of the reserve units were called up every two weeks for two or three weeks, effectively allowing both life to largely continue as normal while significantly bolstering the standing forces.

In 1985, this type of armour was implemented in the T-64BV and T-80BV, but in different forms.

This is revealed in a confidential report from the German government to the Bundestag's budget committee, which is available to the business magazine Capital (issue 5/2023). Due to \"several years of delays in the original program plan\" in the Main Ground Combat System (MGCS) project, the intended initial delivery of the new tank in 2035 is \"no longer feasible,\" according to the February report. The new system is to replace the Leopard 2 main battle tanks in the German Army and Leclerc in the French Army.\n\n>The MGCS project stems from plans for closer armaments cooperation dating back to 2017. At the time, France's President Emmanuel Macron and then German Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) had named six joint arms projects - including MGCS and the development of an ultra-modern air combat system.

According to an agreement between the governments, Germany is to have the overall lead in MGCS, France in FCAS.\n\n>Specifically, the dispute at MGCS centers on several sensitive components for the new tank. According to the government report, German negotiators are pressing for \"visible leadership\" from domestic industry on certain \"key German technologies\" such as the tank gun and protection technologies. However, there are \"concerns\" among the French about German leadership or partial leadership in the main armament, it said.\n\n>As the Defense Ministry acknowledges in its report, the lack of agreement on the division of all work packages is blocking all progress in the development project.

Why does Spain still use Harriers? Because it needs planes that can be used from carriers. So that right now leaves us with 2 notable foreign options.

Well, discarding ourselves which... historical trends show is not too unlikely but at least for now we're stable enough. The other threat is Morocco who is still at war with the Spain-aligned Polisario and regularly threatens to invade Ceuta and Melilla plus funds terrorist groups that want to invade us to recreate Al-Andalus.\nSee the issue yet?

Despite french and german involvement so long as we're part of the program we won't be subject to bullshit vetos, and we can make spare parts, we have a lot of factories which have proven adept at adapting to Eurofighter parts. So that's the \"best case scenario\". If FCAS doesn't work out, plan B is naval eurofighters.

Brexit gave the EU \"periphery\" (the countries outside Germany, France and Benelux) a very large boost in power in EU matters.

Meanwhile France has had to make concessions to both Spain and Italy, looking like a twat in the process. And yet despite Meloni being right wing and Sanchez left wing the two countries have also recently made a pact between them to curtail french lobying against the two despite France having cucked to them to try to avoid it before. And it's gonna keep cucking because Spain and Italy are the 2 credible candidates for that coveted 3rd place in EU matters (Italy has an economic advantage and should have been a clear favourite but its political instability fucked its soft power, plus Spain's economy is somehow growing faster than Italy's. Really at this point the question is if Meloni can fix her country fast enough or Sanchez will win by default. We'll see but either way they agree on surprisingly most things so they're gonna be a collective pain on macron's ass.)\nThis btw also applies to the southern block idea. Spain and Portugal were already very much a block, that's why Spain beats Italy in soft power, and now Italy is signing on to coordinate political matters, you can see the start of an anti-frog southwest block.

This is the only point at which Spain may add 1 single F-35.

Still some dice rolling. Definitely get one new, direct from them. Their warranty is excellent which is good, but you might need it right away which is bad.\n- Significant premium over other very high quality 30cal bullpups.\n\nI love it but that in some ways makes the flaws stand out more to me, I can see ways to make it closer to perfect and wish they did them.

Reloading would no doubt let you work around inability to change block by fine tuning the ammo instead. And ES Tactical makes fancier ultra high quality precision barrels for it (and also will let you do unique stuff like use 350l or 450bush in it for states with restrictions).\n\nBut again, we're talking a sizable of money and effort/pickiness here to get the gun to a point where a normal platform could drill holes with a range of ots quality ammo.

Adding a single 4th fun one to this mix is not something I think you can reasonably claim would be a problem here. 300bo would be the natural choice if there was a gun I wanted in it, just because it'd work with my existing 30cal cans (and I can't confuse it for 5.56 since I have none).

The only one I'm missing in my own guns right now is 12ga, and shotguns are certainly cool, but I'm not into waterfowl. That leaves two final broad areas at opposite ends of distance/use. One would be to get serious about further ELD and reloading and get into 338 or 408 or 416 or something. Or for factory 50bmg. Obviously this is a fairly major investment, but also since I don't live in the West or Alaska my opportunities to actually seriously push something like that are real minimal. My own fields max out around 740yd in a straightaway, I have one friend where maybe we could set something up to 1.2k but that's it. I'm frankly pretty happy with my BR and a bolt in 308 and just polishing my skills on that. It'd probably make more sense to get sneed if I ever got good enough and wanted to further refine there.\n\nThe opposite would be to get into subsonic, get a compact, and aim to get as quiet as possible for stuff <250yd. This would have a lot more use here, 99% shooting in eastern forest is less than that, and could do it in more places without bothering anyone else. It'd also be different from whatever I've got. Here again the ideal stuff is all reload, Whisper series, 375raptor etc. I only know of two sub focused commercial centerfire efforts: 300bo, which is a success, and 8.6bo, which is new and a question mark. That's it, unless someone can point at another (seriously). My otc hunting/defense needs are already covered. And if I didn't enjoy big bois I'd probably be in /arg/.\n\nSo right now I lean towards subs being next in 2-5 years.

But it's still inevitable, particularly in forested or urban environments and such, that contact will be lost. So still have to figure out how to deal with that, whether you immediately remove it from everyone once lost, or have some sort of other stale info indicator.

Also why the US target bullets-per-enemy count has been creeping up steadily since WW1, I think now 60000 bullets per dead enemy is considered a decent ratio or something like that. Because bullets are cheap and replaceable, Army would rather lean on its logistics than risk losing a soldier just to save a bit. The new service rifles they're looking at are pricey as well. Basically, if dropping another $5-10k per soldier on AR actually made a major difference? They'd do it without a seconds hesitation. Fraction of just salary for a single year.

I'm confused as to what you actually wouldn't care about as your post mentioned both. If the M1911 or a Browning Hi-Point type guns were banned, would that be acceptable? What about modern Glocks for self defense purposes? If you mean an assault weapon ban, I really don't see what it would accomplish, 85% of gun crimes are committed with handguns and AWs are easily replaced by handguns such as the third deadliest mass shooting in the country, Virginia Tech. So unless you're willing to go all in on a full semiauto prohibition (which is almost certainly politically infeasible in 2023), I fail to see how any of this legislation accomplishes anything meaningful but will alienate and galvanize a large demographic of voters.\n\nEither way there will never be a confiscation like people here fantasize about a civil war over, if a ban passes it'll be a slow bleed namely no more sales will be permitted, banned at ranges and confiscated there if used, ammunition costs will increase on the long term as ammo sales for those calibers slump, police will confiscate and destroy them for criminals or during house/car searches for other crimes or if used in self defense, they can just remove all reasons to own an \"assault weapon\" and the base of ownership will erode over time. The problem I have with this is progressives don't know when to stop so I'm sure they'll move on to other weapon classes once they get what they want, the way to make changes politically speaking is to slowly change the discourse and culture to turn swing voters against \"x\" type of firearm. This all said gun culture is probably stronger than it's ever been due to guntubers and videogames, people want to own sick shit like a P90s and \"M4s\" after using it in CoD, we're also in an era of overwhelming support for individual personal rights which makes gun right decently popular."}, {"id": 68, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nlmao you fuckin faggot they will come after your old rifles sooner or later.

Simple all steel/brass construction, tough parts, eats up all kinds of gasoline, so no need to splurge for white gas. Requires preheating and frequent cleaning, had to change one rubber seal after a year of usage. The main downside is these stoves arent made anymore, though people still offer repair kits for them. From my experience average monthy usage for single person is one gallon of gasoline, and tiny bit of alcohol employed as primer, though its unnecessary if you are to use it in the open - you can prime it with gasoline just fine, its just gonna produce lots of stink and smoke. IMHO liquid fuel stoves are excellent short to medium time solution for prepper, dependable, portable, use ubiquitous and easily stored fuel, work well in winter, good for both outdoor and indoor applications, still very small footprint.

Use is a little more complex than just throw wood into the can if you want gasification.\nThere are various designs (see http://angrysparrow.com/misc_hosted/bushwhacker.pdf), I'll need to see what the differences are and what significance they make to the end product. I'm thinking I'll build a relatively small one first (suitable for my/my wife) and if it works out something larger for camping with a group. The latter use case is probably more valuable to me, whenever we go camping with mates we tend to have a campfire anyway and that means we'll already have wood collected that can be used in the stove. Looks more convenient than attempting to use a campfire for actually cooking anything other than marshmallows.\n\nFrom a shtf perspective I still think I'd stick with a canister stove if I only had the space for one. Simpler to use in rough weather when you're already stressed and potentially injured. Faster to get up and running, and faster to cook with (meaning less chance of attracting hostile actors). Safer to use inside if you're sheltering in a building. Possibly lighter.\nA gasifier stove would be more useful long-term, sure, but I'm not expecting to be camping innawoods longterm so I'd expect to have other cooking options available (the canister stove is just for emergency use during the few days of travel it'll take to get somewhere safe). If it works out I'll leave one in the 4x4 and another at a likely BOL.\n\nAlcohol stoves are another option. Soda can alcohol stoves are a great project to do with young relatives or your kids.

Every day that passes is so devastating to Russian forces as it is (due to their being outranged and outclassed in artillery and intelligence and sig int) that launching an offensive right now would just spoil something wonderful. There simply won't be a recognisable Russian military left at the current rate of attrition and logistical atrophy. Russia is loosing 1% of its quasi modern artillery and crews daily, the absolutely vital Russian defensive asset along with their vehicles. I'd let it roll on without launching an offensive as long as those loss rates continue to be incurred by Russian forces. It will just make the offensive even more apocalyptic for the remaining Russian forces and leave them even more incapable of defense. Russia has lost this war.

As long as the Russians are loosing so much daily and atrophying further as their logistics crumble, let it continue. No need to throw that offensive in, it can be thrown in in even more ideal conditions just by waiting.

If you want to make a KAC SPR, then go with a 16'' LPR SR15, but they are basically unobtanium right now.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one.

The general concept can be called the \"mass-flux model\". Thought of another way, this essentially like taking obstructive material from a wide area, and concentrating it exactly where the penetrator hits, making it much more effective for the weight.\n\nIn theory this consumes valuable energy and forms interruptions in the case of superplastic jets, and the same in rigid penetrators along with the potential of inducing catastrophic vibrations, shear and breakage. (Last I checked there where also some potential experimental types of ERA that make use of linear shaped charges to essentially try to cut penetrators to pieces)\n\nWhile somehow destroying the liner of the incoming EFP warhead before the jet has a chance to fully form would be ideal, I am dubious about how often that would actually happen.The fuse on the EFP warhead is going to be more sensitive than the ERA and get triggered first.\n\nIt should also be noted that the further away from the tank the ERA is (standoff), the more the effects of disrupting the various penetrators can significantly play out before the remains hit the main armor.

The only thing the mantlet is doing is providing cover from grenades, drones, artillery, and other various munitions so that he can dig a hole and prepare a space for more conscripts to fill and for the accumulation of force\n\nThe only purpose of this object is to support the conscript. There has to be a man that gets shot at. There are places in the battlefield that are under constant artillery bombardment and drone surveillance. Those places have life expectancies in hours.

That way, not only can it roll forwards towards the enemy, it can actually effectively dislodge the enemy as well. Unfortunately, there is still a glaring flaw. How do we get this thing to the front? Like yes, it can move, but it doesn't seem so easy to move it into position for its grinding advance. Stick it on the back of a truck, unload it in a dangerous area, and have it roll slowly but surely into a porous front line with an everpresent risk of being flanked or disabled too early? Eh... how about instead we make it into a sort of car? And while we are at it, might as well save the infantry some effort and have the damn thing move them too. Obviously we'll have to compromise a bit on the armor, have it only stop small arms or shrapnel and maybe some stuff that is just a bit heavier, but it were to ever run into an enemy MBT, chances are it would be fucked anyway and would need its own MBT to support it. And the plus side is now the damn thing can move much, much faster while also being less vulnerable to getting flanked. Sure you can't dig a hole directly inside of it, but the gun should be able to scare off anything nearby while the infantry digs in. So in short, we give it a single powerful gun in place of viewports, sacrifice some of the armor so that it can move like a vehicle and carry infantry, and have it essentially be used as a quick armored element meant to support the infantry.

Since 100% of the blood that comes in through the vena cavas goes out of the aorta, cutting off the pipes in between can be expected to result in a near immediate decrease in aortic flow.\n\nFor the most extreme example of this, destroying the aorta basically results in 0 blood delivery, residual inertia and autoregulation aside. This is largely independent of how much blood the body actually loses - you could wait for 1 second or 5 seconds, you could just clamp the aorta shut entirely and there'd be no bleeding at all, either way the heart wouldn't be delivering oxygenated blood to the brain. Compare that to shooting the liver for example where you'd likely have to wait for some degree of systemic volume loss & consequential pressure drop, even if the bleeding is profuse.\n\nThe brain cells can live for a while without fresh blood, even consciousness can be maintained for a time, but effective combat capability and general perception & coordination appears to decrease rapidly depending on the level of oxygen perfusion even if the brain sustains no actual damage. For an idea of just how sensitive it is - as I recall, there is an experimentally determinable difference in task performance from split second to split second simply caused by the slightly fluctuating levels of brain oxygenation during the heart's normal cycle. Obviously these effects are imperceptible but when the blood stops flowing in at all, or starts coming in a lot slower, I expect things to go downhill quickly.\n\nNow there is an interesting phenomenon where psychological shock can cause vasodilation in the brain, causing blood to drain and resulting in physiological incapacitation. Dr. Fackler notes an instance where this happened to someone upon a missed shot.\n\nInteresting note about the coconut milk. Very cool."}, {"id": 79, "content": ">>71\nYou are correct that ft lbs are not generally a good measure of terminal performance, but the comment about .44 magnum versus 5.56 is really more a matter of projectile design he was alluding to.\n\n77 gr TMK out of a 10\" barrel for example will likely BTFO out of a hard .44 Magnum JSP (and certainly an FMJ) out of a 4\" barrel. However, Buffalo Bore's 240 gr Deer Grenade (their loading of a Lyman Devastator cast HP, I suspect) out of a 4\" .44 will very likely beat a 55 gr TSX out of a 10\" 5.56.\n\n>>69\nAnd on that note, I suspect TSX out of a 10\" 5.56 often produces flexible tissue damage inferior to or at least not noticeably surpassing a 230 gr +P HST. If you can incapacitate people immediately with the former then you can also do it with the latter, provided you aim well enough. One should not be allergic to shooting multiple times with either.\n\nRifle bullets don't have magical qualities allow them to circumvent the incapacitation processes that handgun rounds must use. Either way you must disable the CNS or inflict sufficient damage to the circulatory system. Now the TSX in our example inflicts that damage somewhat differently, through a combination of temporary cavitation and direct crush rather than direct crush alone. But if the total wound volume is the same then I doubt it makes any difference. (Actually, I suspect the handgun round may be slightly more efficient as it's more likely to shunt/push destroyed tissue out of the way and the sharp cutting edges may result in more bleeding at the margins of the wound, whereas the tissue pulped by a rifle round's TSC might be more likely to stay in place and inhibit bleeding a little.)\n\nThe rifle round's large TSC does give it an advantage when striking inflexible organs like the liver, or temporarily concussing the CNS on a near miss, but the former (as alluded to in my previous comment) is likely a slower method of incapacitation and the latter is largely unreliable and basically just dumb luck."}, {"id": 80, "content": ">>79\nPistols suck because of the short barrels and limited powder.

Monolithic copper HPs in particular appear to be less damaging.\n\nThese are common choices in patrol officer roles because they are 1) much more consistent than yaw-dependent FMJs and OTMs and 2) are more barrier blind which matters for shooting through a car that traffic cops might, you know, have to work around.\n\nThe attached picture is an artistic depiction of the permanent (of primary relevance) and temporary cavity of lead-bonded 62 gr TBBC in its common LE223T3 loading. I suspect it is underselling the bullet, but at the same time, I expect several .223 TSX and perhaps GMX loadings to be potentially less damaging than 62 gr TBBC. 230 gr HST +P would expand to a maximum diameter of about 2.5 cm for reference - notice how close that is to the width of the .223 permanent cavity in the artist’s impression?\n\nYou are also making the assumption that the aforementioned 230 gr HST +P wouldn’t have likewise felled skater boi (shot through heart and lung - I can post a video where incapacitation results were very similar with a handgun round) and pedobear (lung, liver, pelvis, graze) without drastically more effort. We simply cannot say this due to the uncertainty of speculating about events that never happened. The only shot where I would be reasonably sure of a drastic difference is the arm hit due to the exacerbation of TSC damage when hitting a small mass of flesh, and hopefully you are not gauging bullet effectiveness based on extremity hits - even though I myself will acknowledge that 55 gr FMJ is much more devastating than 230 gr HST when it actually works properly."}, {"id": 107, "content": ">>106\nThis photo displays the primary exit wound of a 55 gr TSX at 5.56 pressure 16” velocity impacting a deer from 65 yards away (roughly, perhaps, mimicking a .223 pressure loading at the muzzle), as well as secondary wound channels from bone fragments. Since bone fragment damage is circumstantial and speculative, the primary bullet wound is of more interest.\n\nConsider that the heart is about 5” tall for scale and that the aforementioned 230 gr HST +P expands to about an inch from petal to petal. (The average diameter, used for calculating wound volume, is different, but the maximum petal-to-petal diameter is more useful for getting an idea of wound diameter).

I always appreciate it when people are willing to consider my writings and keep an open mind.\n\nTerminal ballistics requires a lot more nuance than is commonly thought and requires the slaying of some sacred cows and commonly held perceptions. 5.56 is a particularly good example of the need to differentiate between the cartridge and the loading. Many people form their perceptions of it - negative or positive - on just one bullet, when there’s way more depth to it. You can have some rounds that are awful (brass solids, GP90) and some that likely outperform many .308 rounds on flesh damage (aforementioned 77 gr TMK) and everything in between. Most of them outperform any service caliber handgun JHP by a very sizable margin, but that’s not universally true.\n\nPersonally I like 5.56 a lot, it’s in fact the only rifle caliber I own, partially because the best stuff is so devastating that I just don’t think I have any need to go beyond that for most applications, it’s wasted damage in most situations. But it’s loading dependent; and although I’d much rather use my 16” rifle, I won’t claim a 9mm handgun won’t generally get the job done rapidly with good aim and good bullets, even if it takes quite a few more shots and skill on average.\n\nSpeaking of .308, the most damaging .308 rounds are considerably more damaging than the most devastating 5.56 in turn. But some standard varieties of .308 FMJ are actually worse than 5.56 FMJ, because they don’t fragment. Others do and then it’s more like M193 scaled up. Then you have funny calibers like 7.62x39 where the FMJ is mostly just worse and the jury’s still out on the heavily fragmenting loadings, but if you compare bonded or tougher softpoints, it’s better than 5.56 terminally."}, {"id": 133, "content": ">>25\n>I wanna know specifically why the officers that I gave all that trust to specifically I didn’t go crazy this whole entire time"}, {"id": 134, "content": ">>132\n>Many people form their perceptions of it - negative or positive - on just one bullet, when there’s way more depth to it.\nThis is very true.

An HK Mark 23 mag and a USP 45 mag are basically identical and fully interchangeable but for the base plate.

At every single stage of recording these numbers, from unit commanders to the people presenting their reports to Putin himself, people are heavily incentivised to lie. Accurate figures practically can’t exist because in a highly authoritarian society like Russia telling the truth is dangerous while lying is rewarded, both directly and indirectly.\n\nYou can see an example of the effects this can cause in the early response to the pandemic in China. Officials at every level didn’t want to be seen as responsible for the effects of the virus so every report up the chain of command downplayed the seriousness of the situation. Beijing had absolutely no idea how bad things had gotten until it was too late so instead of being able to contain the virus it spread uncontrollably.\n\n>Shouldn't the house of cards eventually collapse?\n\nYes, and it will given time. It has already happened twice to Russia in the last 40 years - once in 1989 when their outer empire in Eastern Europe collapsed, and again in 1991 when the Soviet Union itself fell apart. The Russian state is like a giant Ponzi scheme, eventually the lies it is built on will be so far disconnected from reality that the entire system will fall apart. Democratic societies have checks and balances which systematically try and prevent this from happening. Authoritarian states like Russia generally don’t or have very heavily decayed ones, so when the system is overstressed by something like a war going badly it’s often enough to collapse the whole thing."}, {"id": 106, "content": ">>8\nbased and /an/pilled\nif I had some land I'd have a pig instead dog"}, {"id": 107, "content": ">>78\n>>we've captured it?

Or rather it does, with the red areas having very low density and the blue very high. The upside of this is that the Blues can't use nukes even in revenge attacks because they would not have any target rich regions to justify the use of a nuke. Also, any country that starts nuking its own people will immediately lose a lot of international support and may even lose diplomatic relations. The only way that nukes get used is as a last ditch revenge weapon by the Feds if they are surrounded in DC and about to lose.\n\nAgain, it's not about territorial holdings. Modern civil war is about killing the enemy, the ability to keep yourself and your side alive and well, and most importantly MESSAGING. The side that gains popular support will eventually win. The Feds can airstrike civilians all day long but it doesn't help their cause if the cities can't get food because farmers are refusing to send the food or the highways are choked by ambushes. Or the water pipes are blown up. Or the transformers are shot and the cities descend into criminal chaos at night. And no amount of the NYT and CNN propaganda will be able to justify cell phone video of Fed troops turning their M2s on soccer moms.\n\nAnother thing that you have to keep in mind is that while the smart weapons the Feds have are very impressive and there really is no good counter for them, they are very limited in number, and every smart bomb used on an unarmed protestor or lone farmer is a smart bomb that can't be used against the PRC when they attack Taiwan and cut off the 90% of the global supply of microchips. Smart weapons are best reserved for high value targets, using them on isolated rural people is a waste.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics.

Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG.

The 000 buckshot loads don't spread much because all the pellets fit in a single row right down the center axis of the cartridge. Thus when the rifling spins them they are spun concentric with the bore just like a normal bullet fired from a rifle would be. This helps their stability. Smaller shot, on the other hand, is flung outward by the rifling because most of it is not in the exact center of the shell. Instead of being spun about the same axis it's traveling it's flung in an outward circular arc.\nIn a smoothbore gun there's little difference in pattern size between small and large shot proving that the shot size isn't what matters, it's how the shot interacts with the rifling that's important.\n\nBut yeah, the buckshot loads don't spread anywhere near as much.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2AFQ368268 [Embed]"}, {"id": 26, "content": ">>23\n>>24\nif you have some meme gun like a judge that can use both why the fuck would you use .410 buck instead of 45 colt if you were intending on shooting a person?"}, {"id": 27, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nNo, it's physically impossible to harm someone with 410.

Before the AIM-120D came into the field, and after the F-14 was retired I'd say our fleets were on incredibly thin ice with regards to ability to intercept a possible threat. We took a big risk in assuming Russia wouldn't do anything and underestimated China's growth.\n\nI understand how maintenance heavy and expensive the F-14 was, but shouldn't you have the very best of the best to defend your countries literally most important asset: the carrier strike group? Why didn't we try and develop a new interceptor solely for the Navy that was capable of Mach 2+ top speed, able to climb comparatively to the F-14 while still under a full missile load, and could sling the longest range missiles possible? The F-35 is still nowhere near as valuable at the fleet defense role as the F-14, at least until the AIM-260 becomes fully available, and even then the F-35 will still be much slower than the F-14.\n\nDisclaimer: I am NOT saying we should have kept the F-14, but that we should have developed a replacement solely for its role alongside the F-35 with just how important it is to defend our carriers."}, {"id": 7, "content": ">>6\n>>6\n>Faster than the F-14 or F-15 despite being 20 years earlier.\nBring back the Starfighter.

I'm just complaining that our military didn't fund a fleet interceptor to replace the F-14 and just assumed that Russia and China wouldn't attack us before we could fully develop a missile like the AIM-260.

A true fleet interceptor would need to be large, fast, powerful and carry larger than usual munitions that can be launched further. I'm not saying the Navy shouldn't have stealth, but that they should really only have two types of jets: Stealth multi-roles & fast, powerful interceptors. Stealth jets, ie F-35's, are able to get in close to the enemy and can guide long-range missiles launched by the interceptors into the enemy jets.\n\nBasically, exactly like what the F-14 was supposed to do: take off, climb to altitude, launch 4 Phoenix's (or 6 if they know for absolute certain they're going to be launching everything), stealth jet guides missiles in with AWAC's providing overall awareness, and bada bing bada boom. It seems really silly to trust the role of intercepting a potential horde of incoming Chinese spam jets with the F-35 that can only hold 4 AMRAAM's in its stealth configuration.\n\nFuck me though, nothing gets me harder imagining an updated F-14 platform potentially being used into the 200X's, with an updated radar, modern electronics, a newer AIM-54, enhanced engines... fucking Navy and their multi-roles man, took my baby from me without at the very least giving me a new one.

Which should tell you a lot about the moral of the rest of the Pact.\n3. The Russians then already sold off ammo and fuel for cigs and food.\n4. The security apparatus of the Eastern Bloc by this point lived in a complete fantasy world. The people figured out what to say to not be suspected. The KGB and Stasi had no clue how HUGE the discontent with their governments actually was.\n\nWhatever revolutions occurred in the Warsaw pact were already simmering by then. So instead of peaceful revolutions you'd now have full descends into Civil War due to the Warsaw Pact's citizens unwillingness to fight for the Russians. The USSR would be pretty much instantly forced to fight a war against their own Warsaw Pact. At best the rest of the pact would pull a Belarus and just watch from the sidelines only offering their countries as staging grounds but not actually send any soldiers. A complete mutiny of the East German army and turning coat to their brethren from the Bundeswehr would have been fairly likely.\n\nAnd seeing how modern Russia can't even properly supply an invading army a few hundred miles into enemy territory, this would be even worse by a HUGE margin.

Both sides are stuck in forever proxy wars but the USSR now has enough resources and farmland at their disposal to delay the collapse that happened to them in our time-line.

Push button magazine releases are bad for CC/HD. We've gotta look at police footage as the main parallel for self defense as there's a larger sample size & they're analogous to the general population of gun owners in terms of range time (if not more). We see a lot of limp-wristing leading to stovepipes from Glocks, due to specifics of the design. The second most common malfunction you see is people dropping the magazine due to a poor grip. Both of these are issues unlikely to happen on the range as it's a low stress controlled environment but in the moment they seem to occur with some frequency - definitely not rare.\n\nThe push button has trade offs, it allows for faster reloading but as a consequence is easier to accidentally hit. Heel or paddle release is slower, but harder to accidentally deploy. If you don't carry a spare magazine for CC/HD you get no benefit from a push button release - if you need to drop the mag to clear a malfunction you'll need to retain it anyways which means your hand is already at the magwell making heel/paddle nearly identical in speed.\n\nIf you don't have a second magazine with you you're accepting all of the risk of dropping your one mag in a self defense scenario and getting no benefit."}, {"id": 205, "content": ">>201\n>adrenaline lets people tank a shot\n\nany shot that would 'drop' someone is not going to be tank-able with adrenaline"}, {"id": 206, "content": ">>196\nWhat does that have to do with my point that the mob mentality human wave self defense scenarios that tons of posters here psyched themselves up for never happened because self preservation overrides that?\n\n>>197\n>So a guy\nWho had been to the range exactly once and fired most of his shots at contact or near distance, only faced as many attackers as he did because he put himself into a situation where he was surrounded, and despite all that only needed to fire 4 rounds with a 50% hit rate.

There is an anecdote of a police union petition a city council for a Smith and Wesson double action handgun with an external safety because of cops being disarmed and killed with their service weapons, a revolver, and due to being outgunned by criminals. They proved their point by showing people unfamiliar with that handgun took a while to figure out which lever/button made the firearm operable, sometimes ending up dropping the magazine. The city council accepted the proposal and police deaths caused by their own service weapons being taken away dropped to near zero.

You aren't doing rapid reloads in a competition setting or burning through mags clearing your home - if you heard a window break and grabbed your bedside gun reload speed isn't a factor in that situation, accidentally dropping your magazine because you got a poor grip due to only handling the gun twice a year and the first shots recoil jostles you is both more likely and more catastrophic than a half second faster reload."}, {"id": 223, "content": ">>222\nThis is also actually the best argument I've found for explaining why magazine restrictions are flawed.

Only one of them (Phillips) had body armor covering most of his body (notably excluding the shoulders, upper arms, and head), with the other only wearing a vest. What really fucked the police is they were standing by their cars around the bank at 60+ yards, outside of effective pistol/buckshot range, when the robbers came out of the bank and started shooting. If the cops were able to respond with accurate fire that would at least hit the robbers somewhere, they would have reasonably scored hits that would have taken the robbers down rather quickly.

As others in this thread have pointed out, people will train with what they like shooting. Most of the people who just see guns as tools are the people who aren't getting to the range as often, because 3 years of shooting 100 rounds every other month will already match the cost of a $450 pistol at current 9mm prices before considering range fees, and spending that much money on practicing doesn't appeal to most people who just see guns as tools.

Knives actually have similar “success” rates to guns in self defense technically speaking, but it would be stupid to carry one instead of a gun, even if you love knives and want to train with them.

They had good reason to allocate those to aviation:\n\nhttp://behavioralscientist.org/psychologists-go-war/\n\n\"One of the striking findings of the Army Testing Project was that around half of the Army recruits tested at or below the level of “moron.” The term moron had been introduced by Henry Goddard to classify adults with the mental age of a child between 10 and 12. Individuals judged to have a mental age between 4 and 10 years were classified as low-grade, medium-grade, or high-grade imbeciles; those with a mental age of 3 or under were classified as idiots. These classifications were based on Goddard’s translations of the 1908 and 1909 Binet-Simon intelligence scale, which Terman revised in 1916. Terman’s revision, which was later known as the Stanford-Binet test (after Terman became professor of psychology at Stanford University), became the standard American intelligence test.\"\n\nMy AF recruiter sent his low scorers down the hall to the Army who were glad to get them. Years later my bros who became recruiters to homestead prior to retirement did the same and everyone was happy.\n\nMost of any career is spent under peacetime conditions so serving wisely makes sense.

These are just some ways to get maximal leverage.\n\nThere haven't been many mags I couldn't load this way by hand, but if you don't want to use a loader in those instances you can bounce the mag against a desk or something to help. Hold the mag in one hand with your thumb pressing on the top cartridge and bang the mag bottom against a desk. The columns of rounds will shift due to shock and you'll feel the top round sit a little lower. Keep doing this in combination with your other hand trying to force another cartridge in and you'll get it in there.\n\nMags need a little extra room room in order to be seated against the bottom of the slide and sometimes this engineered headroom will let you FORCE an unintended extra round in, so don't do that! I'd be inclined not to force things at all, even in your situation. Just let the mags break in for awhile rather than start scratching up cartridges.\n\nWhat gun is it btw?

It's also tough to vet them, because a lot of their glowing reviews are just given to them by other instructors who are in on the incestuous grift, quid pro quo style. If you get someone who is good, though, then your shooting will likely improve much faster than had you just been practicing on your own.\n\nWith that said, world class shooters like Ben Stoeger and Charlie Perez and Bob Vogel and Doug Koenig and others have hours and hours of classes up on youtube for free.

I'm not sure what stuff you'll have to mold the holsters with but my tips are based on the stuff I had when I molded custom double layer competition holsters.\nTape blocks over anything that sticks out if it is not covered by the plate your attachment piece rests on (e.g., safety) and anything thicker than whats behind it (like lights). Metal blocks, like erector strips are best, but two popsicle sticks taped together will probably work. Block off the spaces in your rail (for non-light bearing holster) if you have one. Make a channel for your sights with a square wood dowel by taping it in between or over your sights. Cover both sides of the slide with two layers of blue painters tape, do the same to the light. When taping on the plate that your attachment pieces will lay on, level it as best as you can with pieces of something underneath the plate (I used small pieces of kydex scraps). Exact placement of the plate depends on the gun but general rule of thumb is slightly under the top of the slide and back edge a little bit behind the mag release. Line up the attachment piece with the back of the mag release. Don't put any tape on the trigger guard for non-light bearing holsters as thats where most of your retention comes from.\nFor mag pouches put 4 layers of tape and separate the edges of the kydex that are stuck together before the kydex cools completely, makes it much easier to remove the mag from the molded kydex."}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nI highly recommend it. I got into it a few years ago when the only holsters for my gun started at $85, and now I can make holsters set up exactly how I like for about $15 material's cost and a couple hours of work. I toss the kydex in the toaster oven and slowly heat it up to 300-350 degrees, wrap it around the gun, and squish it between a couple slabs of foam until it cools. Of course, as the other guy said, tape the shit out of your gun and keep in mind parts that won't be able to slide right out of the holster without an additional form in the molding process."}, {"id": 5, "content": "I'm less experienced then other anons and my initial attempts have been pretty amateur, but I'm still glad I've started getting into it. In some cases it may essentially be the only way to do something short of extreme pricing/effort, like if you've got an unusual gun or attachments. Getting foam and ideally a dedicated toaster oven (I started with a heat gun and while I can see that being useful for a bit of tweaking definitely not recommended in general) is a bit of upfront investment but worth it. And particularly when colleges let out often there are tons of ancient old toaster ovens up for sale for a song, doesn't matter if they're pieces of crap in this application."}, {"id": 6, "content": "I've made quite a few. A Dremel with sanding drums and cutting wheels is clutch. Get quality clips, and I preferred Chicago style screws instead of rivers for adjustment and cleaning. Foam and a good press go a long ways.

It's fun if you don't mind putting in a few hours of work, and of course you will fuck up a bunch in the beginning. It's nice tho, if you fuck up, reheat the kydex and try again.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song.

From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics.

Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG.

Things are more likely to be covered if they have a clear diagnosis. ICD codes for general pain do exist, but insurance companies really don't like that. So what you need is to be pretty specific with the type of pain you have. A lot of people don't get their benefits specifically because somewhere a doc doesn't actually have a clear diagnosis and the insurance companies aren't willing to cover them guestimating.\n\nNeurological? That's your burning or needle pains, or weakness and numbness. It can be pretty hard to actually fake weakness, because you can't make your muscles tremble like real weakness can. Look up a dermatome map. Pick whichever one best fits. Oh, you have sore shoulder? Well, have you heard of your axillary nerve?\n\nMusculoskeletal pain tends to be exaggerated by exercise. It is often rather deep. It tends to be dull and aching.\n\nPain that wakes you up at night tends to get regarded with extra clinical suspicion, because usually pain DOESN'T wake people up, believe it or not, unless it's pretty severe. Dull pain tends to keep people awake. Debilitating pain tends to wake people up. However if you go too far with this, some docs may be inclined to put you through a lot more studies and exams.\n\nI hope you get any benefits you rightfully deserve anon."}, {"id": 12, "content": "If you aren't happy with the status they give you talk to a law firm that does VA resubmissions.

The complex interplay of eyes and lens vs camera lens and seeing it through a screen really is magnified (harhar) in LPVOs as opposed to a lot of other optic options.\n\nIf someone just wants to try to start getting into them without having used one before and gets some basic <$350 or a perfectly solid <$700 option maybe not worth stressing about much. But once you get into the $1500+ category absolutely worth trying to see some stuff in person. Pictures/video can give some idea of basics around reticle etc, but once spending that kind of money someone should be getting very picky around specifics and exactly what they're after.

For example, the NX8 has this extremely short length of space near the close end of its eye relief range (being: full FoV can be acquired) where the eyebox is quite good, and I haven’t seen any video display it. But if you move even just a tiny bit back, like a millimeter, then it shrinks dramatically.\n\nThe 4x ACOG also has this deal where its eyebox changes depending on where you’re at in the eye relief range, in the first half or so it’s amazing and in the second half or so it’s pretty small. Said eye relief range is also, despite being close to the ocular, absurdly long as a front-back measurement. (For most LPVOs it’s a fraction of an inch in my experience, the ACOG is like an inch+.) But another caveat, in certain lighting conditions the eyebox shrinks regardless of where you are.\n\nGranted these are all things that require some experience and reflection.

According to a press release from Finnish defense contractor Patria, Germany today signed the so-called Technical Arrangement (TA) of the multinational CAVS program. \"With the signing of the Technical Arrangement, Germany has now officially joined the program,\" the company wrote in its release. In addition, Sweden - which officially joined the program in 2022 - today ordered 20 CAVS vehicles, the first of which will be delivered to Sweden before the end of 2023.\n\n>The purpose of Germany joining the program is apparently to examine the extent to which the aging fleet of Bundeswehr Fuchs transport tanks could be replaced by a vehicle that is available on the market. At present, the Bundeswehr still has around 900 Fuchs transport tanks in use in some 30 different variants.\n\n>CAVS is a multinational program for a 6×6 transport vehicle, which is under Finnish leadership. Finland, Latvia and Estonia have been participating in the program since 2019, and Sweden since 2021. Germany is now the fifth nation to participate in CAVS.

According to well-informed circles, the company is currently in talks with several German tank builders on how licensed production in Germany could look.

When the Spanish colonizers set up shop here, they ended up in conflict with many similar pirate bases. In this specific incident, the Spanish Captain-General in the colonial capital- Manila- sent a small combat force to root out any pirates in the region and the meme skirmish between the Spanish forces & the Wokou happened.\n\nAfter defeating the 200-strong pirate force, the Colonial forces proceeded upriver to investigate where the hell the pirates came from and encountered a bigass Wokou fort with a lot of cannons and a thousand pirates (which is where the 1000 number came from).

Yesterday—St. John’s Day—in the afternoon, there arrived six soldiers who had gone with Captain Juan Pablo de Carrion1 against the Japanese, who are settled on the river Cagayan. They say that Juan Pablo sailed with his fleet—which comprised the ship “Sant Jusepe,” the admiral’s galley, and five fragatas—from the port of Bigan, situated in Ylocos, about thirty-five days’ journey from Cagayan.\"\n\n>While rounding Cape Borgador near Cagayan one fair morning at dawn, they found themselves near a Japanese ship, which Juan Pablo engaged with the admiral’s galley in which he himself was. With his artillery [186]he shot away their mainmast, and killed several men.\"\n...."}, {"id": 62, "content": ">>59\n>>61\n>The Japanese put out grappling-irons and poured two hundred men aboard the galley, armed with pikes and breastplates. There remained sixty arquebusiers firing at our men. Finally, the enemy conquered the galley as far as the mainmast. There our people also made a stand in their extreme necessity, and made the Japanese retreat to their ship. They dropped their grappling-irons, and set their foresail, which still remained to them. At this moment the ship “Sant Jusepe” grappled with them, and with the artillery and forces of the ship overcame the Japanese; the latter fought valiantly until only eighteen remained, who gave themselves up, exhausted. Some men on the galley were killed, and among them its captain, Pero Lucas, fighting valiantly as a good soldier.\n\n>Then the captain, Juan Pablo, ascended the Cagayan River, and found in the opening a fort and eleven Japanese ships. He passed along the upper shore because the mouth of the river is a league in width. The ship “Sant Jusepe” was entering the river, and it happened by bad fortune that some of our soldiers, who were in a small fragata, called out to the captain, saying to him: “Return, return to Manila! Set the whole fleet to return, because there are a thousand Japanese on the river with a great deal of artillery, and we are few.”\n\n>Whereupon Captain Luys de Callejo directed his course seaward; and although Juan Pablos fired a piece of artillery he did not and could not enter, and continued to tack back and forth. In the morning he anchored in a bay, where such a tempest overtook them that it broke three cables out of four that he had, and one used for weighing anchor. He sent these six soldiers in a [187]small vessel to see if there was on an islet any water, of which they were in great need. The men lost their way, without finding any water; and when they returned where they had left their ship they could not find it.\n...."}, {"id": 63, "content": ">>62\n>>59\n>They met with some of those Indians who were in the galley with Juan Pablos, from whom it was learned that Juan Pablo had ascended the river two leagues and had fortified himself in a bay; and that with him was the galley, which had begun to leak everywhere, in the engagement with the Japanese. The Indian crew was discharged on account of not having the supplies which were lost on the galley.\n\n>Most of these men went aboard the “Sant Jusepe.” They said that the Japanese were attacking them with eighteen champans,2 which are like skiffs. They were defending themselves well although there were but sixty soldiers with the seamen, and there were a thousand of the enemy, of a race at once valorous and skilful. The six soldiers came with this news, and on the way they met a sailor who had escaped from a Sangley ship which had sailed from here, with supplies of rice for Juan Pablo.\n\n>These enemies, who have in truth remained here, are a warlike people; and if your Excellency do not provide by this ship, and reenforce us with a thousand soldiers, these islands can be of little value. May your Excellency with great prudence provide what is most necessary for his Majesty’s service, since we have no resource other than the favor your Excellency shall order to be extended to us.\n\ntl;dr a Spanish force of an indeterminate number fought 200 Wokou on the Cagayan River, went upriver, encountered their base of 1000 pirates, and then withdrew.

And besides that, superior in what regard? If you're talking small arms, small arms don't have an impact on the big picture unless it's a very lopsided situation like cannon and repeating rifles against spears and bows. If you mean tanks, you have a valid point after 1942. Aircraft, likewise is not until mid-1943 when Hellcats and Corsairs enter the war. The A6M and G4M were excellent aircraft when introduced, the real failing from the IJN was not improving on them sooner.\n\nIf you're talking ships, Japanese carriers and battleships other than the Yamatos were generally comparable to US ships of equivalent age. Japanese heavy cruisers generally carried more armor and more weapons than their US counterparts. Japanese destroyers were also far more heavily armed than their American counterparts, though were optimized for surface warfare. Japanese submarines ranged from below average to excellent, and their weapons were far superior to the American torpedoes. The subs were let down by doctrine more than anything else.\n\n>Doctrine too... Saying that the US' victory* in any theater of the war was based entirely on quality over quantity is a gross oversimplification\nIt really isn't. Show me any battle in the Pacific after Guadalcanal that the US could have conceivably lost. Even when invading the Philippines, if Kurita actually destroyed the transports off Leyte it would have been a setback for the US that wouldn't have changed the final outcome. There's no instance where Japanese island garrisons weren't outnumbered 4:1 or more, and the US also has naval and aerial dominance the whole time. The Japanese were trading pretty evenly with the USN at Guadalcanal despite heavy disadvantages, and King literally said he followed an attritional strategy because he could make up his losses and the Japanese couldn't."}, {"id": 135, "content": ">>134\nUS frontline troops had higher levels of support weapons and artillery to say nothing of armor and mechanized transport than anything the Japanese did. US Wildcats were slower than the Zero but had far more armor, and often times the Japanese took off things like radios and armor in order to increase speed at the cost of dying to near misses. Later on while on paper the Japanese still had good planes like the George, they also used stupidly unreliable engines like the Homare that required American levels of quality control to be functional (spoiler: they didn't have quality control). This was compounded by the fact that the elite Japanese air corps was attritioned at a high rate and the high recruitment standards meant that losses could not be replaced, eventually leading to the use of greener pilots that suffered drastically against increasingly veteran US pilots.\nJapanese ships were also pieces of shit since half of the carriers were adopted from battlecruiser or battleship builds or just flat out converted from civilian vessels. The battleships were fine since they were based off of British builds, but the carriers for instance took nearly an hour to launch strikes because they didn't have non-dogshit elevators on the carriers and so the whole strike had to be brought up plane by plane, one at a time, to prep it for launch, while American carriers could launch in half that time. Not to mention that Japanese crews were hyperspecialized and many had no idea how to do damage control while on American ships everyone did. Japanese surface combatants had better torpedoes (assuming the long lances didn't just explode due to being incredibly volatile) but their gunnery sucked and their fire control in particular was terrible compared to the American ships.

He offered his daughter's hand in marriage and learned how to bore barrels from one Portuguese merchant. Within a few years they had hundreds of thousands of Tanegashima matchlocks that were comparable to European ones, and they became one of the per capita most heavily armed nations on earth.

You are literally making my point for me.\n\n>armor and mechanized transport\nThis is of limited utility in the Pacific. Also, the US started with M2A4s at Guadalcanal, and only had Stuarts at the end. All are roughly equivalent to their Japanese counterparts, the Type 89, 95, and 97. Beyond that, you're in the midwar period which, as I said, it didn't matter what the US fielded.\n\n>Wildcats were slower than the Zero but had far more armor\nThe armor advantage is overstated. The only \"armor\" the F4F had were small plates the front and back of the cockpit, and a bulletproof windscreen. Nothing that would stop a 20mm. Most of the Wildcat's success in 1942 was due to early warning by coastwatchers in the Solomons, and even then they traded about even with the A6M. 115 F4Fs to 106 A6Ms lost from all causes from August 1 to November 15. If they didn't get early warning to get airborne and above the incoming strike, you get the Oct 2nd experience\n>On 2 October 1942, a Japanese air raid from Rabaul was not detected in time and the Cactus Air Force lost six Wildcats to only one Zero destroyed\n\n>the Japanese took off things like radios\nRadios were removed in 1942 from A6Ms only, because radio shielding was one of the things that had been cut to get the A6M to the range and maneuverability desired. This made them nigh useless due to magnetic interference in the South Pacific, so most pilots removed them. Other aircraft types had shielded radios which worked fine.\n>and armor\nThis never happened.\n\n>the elite Japanese air corps was attritioned at a high rate\nI already said this, you are agreeing with me. US pilots, while less skilled overall than the Japanese in the early war, could be rotated out and rested. The Japanese were forced to keep flying because recalling them means no pilots at all. This is a quantitative advantage for the US."}, {"id": 144, "content": ">>135\n>half of the carriers were adopted from battlecruiser or battleship builds\nSo were Lexington and Saratoga. Hiryu and Soryu, along with the cranes, were all built from the ground up as carriers though. Hiryu and Soryu weren't much different from Wasp.\n\n>converted from civilian vessels\nThis was a feature, not a bug. This was Japan actively skirting the naval arms treaties to have jeep carriers and auxiliary fleet carriers already built that, in event of war, only required a short period in the yards to convert them to flattops and supplement the big fleet carriers. Note also that the US equivalent escort carriers (Sangamon) were converted oilers.\n\n>but the carriers for instance took nearly an hour to launch strikes because they didn't have non-dogshit elevators on the carriers and so the whole strike had to be brought up plane by plane, one at a time, to prep it for launch, while American carriers could launch in half that time\nWhat the actual fuck am I reading? Please, for the love of God, read Shattered Sword. The US was a fucking basket case when it came to deck operations in 1942. The IJN pioneered this before the war even started. They got strikes off far faster than the USN did. The US was not at any point in 1942 or 1943 launching full strike packages in 30 minutes.\n\n>Not to mention that Japanese crews were hyperspecialized and many had no idea how to do damage control\nThis is partially true, but it's more true that what killed the Japanese carriers at Midway (taking hits with armed and fueled aircraft onboard) would kill any carrier. Franklin and Bunker Hill both took far less serious hits with aircraft on board, but both were gutted and out of the war. On the Japanese side you have Shokaku taking 4-6 much heavier bombs, yet still making it home to be repaired and returned to action in 3 months. The only carrier in the war I know of that was hit harder and lived was Illustrious. There's other IJN ships that suffered heavy damage but made it home."}, {"id": 145, "content": ">>135\n>assuming the long lances didn't just explode due to being incredibly volatile\nYou're behind the times. Chokai's torpedo launchers and facilities are all intact and pristine. They could be detonated by bomb hits or extended exposure to fire, but literally what ammunition or fuel source wouldn't have been? Long Lances did pretty well in the Solomons attriting basically every heavy cruiser in the US and Australian inventory.\n\n>their gunnery sucked and their fire control in particular was terrible\nSounds like all you know about the IJN is what you read in Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors. Essentially, when sailors that haven't slept and have been subjected to constant air attack and submarine attack for 3 straight days finally find enemy surface forces. In that context, it's a miracle Yamato hit Gambier Bay to begin with. Compare to the Solomons, when they were doing time-on-target attacks and landing main battery hits on US cruisers simultaneously with their torpedoes hitting the US formation. Even at the end of the Solomons campaign, they were still better at night-time gunnery than the US was. Surface radar was not yet at the point where it could provide the entire firing solution to US guns. It could give range, but bearing still had to be determined visually to be accurate enough for a gun solution, and US fire directors regularly blinded themselves with their own gun flashes.\n\n>>136\n>Also Japanese AAA was godawful\nComparable to the US in the early war, which is really the only period that mattered. By late war (the US didn't have proximity fuzes until the Guadalcanal campaign was decided), even if the Japanese magically had USN-tier AAA on their ships they would still lose.

Think about that, $4.6k fee to get any of this stuff. $1000 can becomes $5600. So it mostly killed the market dead for decades and decades. But one fortunate fuckup of a LOT of stuff back then is Congress didn't really get inflation (we were still on the gold standard actually) and didn't do any inflation linking. Usually this fucked the American people over. But in a few cases the opposite and this is one of them. $200 is set in hard law, it's not up the executive and doesn't auto adjust. Which means inflation has been steadily shrinking it, until the situation today where what was originally meant to restrict it purely to the upper class is now mostly an irritation, and dropping every year.

The radar is today considered the third most powerful in the Russian inventory of those integrated onto aircraft built for air to air combat, with the Su-57 fighter’s AESA radar and the MiG-31 Foxhound’s much larger Zaslon-M phased array radar considered to be more powerful.

During 1981, work commenced at MBB on developing a design for a viable stealth aircraft; the effort was supported by a contract that had been issued by the German Air Force. Also known as the Medium Range Missile Fighter (MRMF), it had been conceived that a fighter could be both lighter and cheaper if it was so superior at mid-range combat as to allow it to discard the requirement to perform close-range combat. Having been developed independently of other stealth aircraft, such as the American Lockheed Corporation's Have Blue technical demonstrator and its follow-up F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft (which at the time were still highly classified projects), the Lampyridae nonetheless used a similar approach to achieving its low-observable characteristics.\n>After determining the Lampyridae's design to be viable, development activity proceeded to the construction of a single three-quarter scale piloted aircraft. During 1985, wind tunnel testing of the design, including at transonic speeds commenced; two years later, a number of manned 'flights' inside the wind tunnel were performed, during which the favourable high-quality aerodynamic properties of the design were documented. During 1987, the existence of the Lampyridae project and its design was revealed to the United States in the form of a group of United States Air Force (USAF) officers, who were shown the piloted model, which was kept in a closed-off section of MBB's manufacturing facility at Ottobrunn, Bavaria, Germany. That same year, the Lampyridae project was terminated for unspecified reasons; diplomatic pressure on the part of the US has been attributed."}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>13\nYou only have to protect it against 30mm.

Then you take another analog receiver and calibrate it until you can hear your voice through it. This guy in picrel made it push-to-talk, but basically it'll let you tap into any unencrypted radio transmission (like a police CB radio) and yes you can even communicate with others provided that they have one themselves.

There were other POW hackers that weren’t so fortunate, but still needed the connection to the outside world that radio provided. With the same mortal stakes at play, these hackers built radios from almost nothing. Take the case of one Lt. Colonel R.G. Wells, a British officer interned in a Japanese concentration camp in Borneo. In 1942, he created almost every component of a superheterodyne receiver from found objects. Capacitors were made from the foil lining of a tea chest and the few precious scraps of newspaper that weren’t horded for alternate duty in the latrines. Resistors were pieces of string impregnated with burnt cinnamon bark. Bare wire was insulated by rubbing flour nicked from the mess into palm oil and caking it onto the wire. A chromic acid wet cell was concocted of potassium dichromate “donated” by the camp pharmacy and zinc trouser fly buttons. When that proved insufficient to power the radio, Wells built a chemical cell that both rectified the camp’s AC supply and dropped the voltage to a usable level.\n>The only components Wells couldn’t conjure out of thin air were the vacuum tube and the headset. Wells’ detailed oral history of the radio doesn’t say much about where the tube came from, but it does record that the headset was smuggled into the camp. Given enough time, the resourceful Col. Wells no doubt could have manufactured a headset; indeed, a Vietnam POW named Richard Lucas built the headset for his foxhole radio using a core of nails wrapped with wax-insulated wire in a bamboo resonator with a tin can lid for a diaphragm. He reported that it worked well enough to hear several stations, but that the headset would have worked better with a magnet to bias the coil.\n\nhttps://hackaday.com/2016/04/21/hacking-when-it-counts-pow-canteen-radios/"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>2\nPicture of a US soldoer listening to a self-made foxhole radio made out of spare items."}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>3\nA self-made spark gap transmitter."}, {"id": 5, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nCan someone explain meshtastic and atak to me?\nIt inevitably comes up in radio threads and now one of my autistic friends irl has started talking about it.

It sent 190,000 of them including all the best equipment and all the professional soldiers on contract into Ukraine. Do you understand? However Russia only made marginal gains and all of them are dead, wounded and all their equipment is gone. Due to this Russia has had to mobilise 439,000 reservists (possibly more). Many of them are now also dead as are most of the criminals and desperate who joined wagner. This is not a matter of any doubt. Russia is down to deploying MBTs that are 70 years old. Do you understand? 40+ nations are supporting Ukraine militarily (there are only 31 nations in NATO) do you understand? The economy of Russia is smaller than that of Italy. Ukraine has the economic and diplomatic support of the USA, EU and G7. Do you understand? Russia has lost most of its gas and oil sales to Europe and is now the most sanctioned nation in history. It cannot even buy car parts, electric motors, modern electronics. Do you understand? I mean what level of complete delusion do you have to be operating on to not realise that Russia has lost this war. There is no suffering it out or slogging it out or persevering it out.

An enemy-centric approach focuses on destroying the insurgent military forces, political networks, logistical hubs, financial resources, and other targets that make it difficult for insurgent groups to operate. For example, using raids on insurgent bases/areas, patrolling, dismantling logistical networks, assassinating their leadership and key members. A population-centric (aka hearts and minds) focuses on protecting the local population and gaining their support so that the insurgents are denied the support of the populace (which is vital to the vast majority of insurgent groups). This can be done through many different ways, like instituting social programs, strengthening the local government's capacities (e.g., local and national police), economic development, propaganda campaigns, etc. A punishment approach involves deliberately and often indiscriminately targeting and killing noncombatants. The goal is to decrease civilian morale by exposing large portions of the population to terror or by causing severe shortages of consumer goods and services. A decline in civilian morale, it is hoped, then produces internal turmoil, which causes grassroots opposition against insurgents. Unlike a population-centric approach, the focus of a punishment strategy is not to gain the support of the population, but to use indiscriminate violence to force it into cooperation. Unlike an enemy-centric approach, the goal is to punish the population rather than the insurgents."}, {"id": 43, "content": ">>42\nI'm genuinely curious but how did we lose in Afghanistan?

Conversely, when the insurgents are already receiving suitable amounts of civilian support and the support will likely grow, a population-centric or punishment approach will generally work better. The punishment approach will likely only work for an already severely repressive government where the punishment won't galvanize the populace into supporting the insurgents, otherwise it significantly risks the chance of strengthening the insurgents.\nThe stage of the insurgency also plays into this. In their infancy, insurgent groups don't have much public support and are much more vulnerable, thus, enemy-centric frequently works better early on. In the later stages, the insurgents have already gained a substantial amount of civilian support and much less vulnerable to an enemy-centric strategy, therefore, a population-centric or punishment approach will often work better."}, {"id": 48, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nyou subvert the underlying ideology of the insurgency"}, {"id": 49, "content": ">>45\n>You just start purging the population until they give up, but make sure to use mercenaries or something so that you have plausible deniability when you're caught.\n>You just don't let people know about it\nThis isn't even HOI4 levels of armchair generaling.

Thus, most Afghans don't have a strong preference for the aspects of Western societies/liberal democracies (that we tried to implement in our population-centric approach) and the nationalist identity necessary to view the Taliban as an enemy of the state. Additionally, in rural Afghanistan the social system revolves around tribes for organization and decision making, meaning if the tribal leaders see aligning with the Taliban as more beneficial they'll choose that and the rest of the tribe will agree and follow along. The Taliban could more easily sway the tribal leaders than the US by playing tribal politics, offering them better incentives than the US could, and directly coercing/threatening them. Further, even when the US troops thought they had the support of a tribe/community, it was common that it was just a ruse.\nIslam plays a large part in the popularity of the Taliban. Religion is arguable the best ideological base for insurgents when they share the same religion as most of the population of the area. The Taliban could easily recruit and gain civilian support by appealing to Islam without having to do much radicalization because of how popular it is. Furthermore, the Islamic structure (mosques, mullahs, etc.) is easily exploited for indoctrinating the populace towards their particular extremist viewpoints and recruiting members covertly."}, {"id": 70, "content": ">How do you win against an Insurgency?\nDon't let one fucking form.

It covers a lot of the Red Cross POV alongside the POV of \"rear line\"(I say that because the Japanese liked walking into places with live grenades) troops. If you want a book that goes into the consequences of having good logistics, it really covers it well. I can go further into it if other anons are interested. Not to be forgotten however:\n\n>American civilians selling their food trays to local Filipinos for their valuables(with a story of an MP swearing he saw MacArthur beat an American after seeing that)\n>MacArthur orders anyone selling their food to the starving locals for their valuables is to be arrested immediately\n>An American nurse in tears watching released POW children playing tag with a Filipino child with a blown off leg while Al Jolson plays on a projector\n>The American kids purposefully slow down so the kid with one leg can tag them"}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>15\n>An American nurse in tears watching released POW children playing tag with a Filipino child with a blown off leg while Al Jolson plays on a projector\n>The American kids purposefully slow down so the kid with one leg can tag them\nSTOP CUTTING THOSE DAMN ONIONS!!!"}, {"id": 17, "content": ">>15\nSerling went through Luzon and it really made an impression on him.

Do you always carry your gun with that light around with you at home, or do you have guns staged in other rooms for the much more likely event of a break in when you aren't where your home defense gun is normally staged, requiring you to have multiple lights? Since you must have a wife if you're worried about IDing family members, unless you're single with kids or something, should she not also have a gun to defend the home and therefore a light for IDing an attacker if you aren't relying on night lights, or is she just going to scream like in a movie while you come running to the rescue? Once you're getting into multiple X300s as a backup, you're better off looking into whole home surge protection like a Siemens FirstSurge (that will run you less than an X300 and protect all your expensive electronics rather than just your night lights) and keeping your generator at least protected enough that you home will stop being livable first (such as having it at least at floor level in case of floods). Even if you're worried about running out of gas or your generator breaking down for some reason, they sell battery backed night lights that use swappable batteries and you can keep a couple spare sets like you recommend keeping for a WML, and that will easily last you until you'd be evacuating and staying with family because the area you're in has stopped being fit for human habitation."}, {"id": 81, "content": ">>8\nStreamlight HL is objectively better than any surefire option for pistol range engagements.

This is due to the Spanish simply never having moved away from throwing spears due to how useful they were in mountain terrain, specially for the Almogavars (light infantry) and Jinetes (light cavalry) which is why the Spaniards would call them \"Lanza Jineta\" (Light Cav's Spear).\nAs to their tactical use, they were much the same as halberds/pollaxes/greatswords, infantry troops meant to support pikes, be effective at urban and difficult terrain combat and in general be elite melee troops.

First, it was defeated by Roman formations. You could chalk this up to strategic factors, but in any event there was no rush to adopt the tactic in later eras by Rome or her enemies. It kind of became moot with the advent of the stirrup since the knight with couched lance and the horse archer became dominant until major advances in metallurgy and armor making began bringing pikes back in the Renaissance (plus fire arms eventually making them go main stream)."}, {"id": 179, "content": ">>168\n>Thinking Spanish Squares were just pre-gunpowder pike spam.\nAlright so, first thing. The Spanish Square was a combined arms formation.

The gunmen were its \"teeth\", the pikes were the defensive line for the guns to run behind if cavalry or light infantry came by, and finally the smaller detachment of heavy infantry would deploy if another pike formation or heavy infantry came by, or they came across a terrain feature that would possibly hide ambushers.\nBy comparison the Phalanx did have some heavy infantry but lacked the ranged support abd was far worse organized and less flexible. That said, they had 2 things in common.\n1-The massification of warfare. These were periods where unit size bloated due to the appearance of their respective state types, the early nation-state for the Tercio and the combination of city states into early federations for the Phalanx.\n2-The need for a defensive formation for combined arms.

The Tercios also sheltered Skirmishers and Cavalry btw, it just wasn't its main goal.\n3-And lastly, both were brought forth by the massification of the very innovation that birthed them. As guns got better pikes became useless for the Tercio, as for the Phalanx, the very armor that made such a formation viable would, when smithing got good enough to massify it further, eventually give rise to the Legionnaire, which better used it to break the greek formations.\nSo in a way you can say it is akin to \"crab warfare\" in that despite the meme it is simply adapting to a very specific set of circumstances."}, {"id": 180, "content": ">>128\nI'm pretty sure he means medieval tech but all of what in retrospect we know about it and the tactics we've elaborated since.\nStill tho I would say for the most part, the best tactics for any given time period's tech level were often found within them, with maybe issues based on societal differences or just cultural issues blinding some armies as to what works best.\nEG: many muslim factions refusing to adopt the crossbow due to the Quran mentioning Allah guiding your hand when you shoot from a bow, and interpreting that as Crossbows somehow being heretical. No, seriously, they even got the nickname \"Christian Bow\" in the Iberian Peninsula because of this and the way the Christian Iberian factions would respond by abandoning the bow earlier than anyone else and focusing on Crossbows instead.

It needed the Swiss-Burgundian wars were \"a few peasants with pointy sticks and guns\" DESTROYED a massive army of professional knights.\n\nThe ultimate advantage of Pike and Shot is not in their quality but the quality relative to the quantity you can recruit them in. A medieval handgunner is worse in every measure to an archer (and it stayed that way well into the mid 17th century). However it can take 2+ years of training to get a decent archer.

Moreover not only was the Spanish force considerably numerically inferior but it was mostly made out of ranged troops, light pikes, and light cavalry, with only a small contingent of landsknechts and some spanish hombres d'armas, and on top of that the spanish were forced to do forced march and build hasty entrenchments by night so they were exhausted. Meanwhile the French had a numerically superior force made up mostly of swiss pikes and french gendarms (both known as the best on their kind) and were well rested. By all accounts they should have won if you followed european logic at the time. And not only did the Spanish win, it was one sided as fuck. And there were no fancy ambushes either.

That explains instant animal drops whencl hit with powerful rounds. Spinal cord is caught into area of temporal cavity and this causes paralysis, animal drops and then bleeds out.\n\nSo there is some admission of it's effects. But it in his crusade against temporal cavity Fackler never explored this area.\n\nSoviets had studies about temporal cavity effects on muscle and found that it can cause temporal paralysis of muscle tissue (studies with shooting live piggers into thighs then letting them walk). BTW in martial arts it's known effect when strong blunt force can turn off muscle thus tactics of low kicks into thigh, or application of police buttons against muscles.

Fackler actually revised his position after an experiment where he fired a small caliber brass bullet -backwards- at high velocity into a pig so it impacted flat base first. He also more or less refers to temporary cavitation damage in his comments about the THV bullets (though remained dismissive of the THV design in particular due to overall inferior performance).\n\nTemporary stretch cavity CAN cause permanent damage - situation depending. The magnitude of temporary cavitation appears to be primarily dependent on a bullet’s instantaneous velocity, frontal area, and form factor (I’d call this the tissue drag coefficient although I don’t know if that would be strictly accurate). The temporary cavity must continue to overcome the resilience of the affected tissue as it radiates away from the main track in order to continue causing damage.\n\nSome tissues are more flexible than others. Muscle, lung, and large blood vessels are much more resistant to stretch than such organs like the liver, kidneys, brain and pancreas. Organs that are full of fluid (e.g. filled heart) can be much more vulnerable even if they would resist TSC well when empty. Small masses of tissue don’t resist TSC as well, there’s not as much flesh to contain the stretching and an equivalent force will move a smaller mass more.\n\n*Effective* fragmentation reduces the resiliency of tissue considerably. Think about it like poking holes in a rubber band or cutting holes out of a sheet of paper. The same TSC can do far more damage in conjunction with good fragmentation."}, {"id": 13, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>tissue suddenly and instantaneously compressed\nNo biggie"}, {"id": 14, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>12\nCont.\n\nWhat does that mean in practice? 12 gauge shotgun slugs absolutely do cause heavy TSC damage, this is not hard to figure out. Large frontal area, adequate form factor, and good maintenance of velocity cause broad wounding even in the absence of high impact velocity and fragmentation.\n\nRifle rounds that expand generally cause a degree of temporary cavitation in flexible tissues, in fact it’s of prime importance as their crush cavities tend to not be all that big compared to handgun JHPs, but rifle rounds that only yaw have much more limited effects. In the case of intermediate calibers I would expect little to no TSC damage from yaw-only projectiles. Rifle rounds that fragment well usually cause very extensive TSC damage. Practically all rifle rounds that don’t just travel point forwards (i.e. must at least yaw) can cause very broad wounding in inflexible organs.\n\nService caliber handgun rounds generally do not cause noticeable TSC damage in flexible tissues unless they sacrifice in areas of their design that make them effective crush wounders. They can still cause some stretch damage to inflexible organs.\n\n.357 Magnum is more of an edge case out of a revolver, it can reach into the area where it causes some noticeable TSC damage but this requires a pissin hawt loading (Dr. Roberts, a colleague of Fackler’s, claims ~1600 FPS+) assuming good expansion and maintenance of velocity. Obviously handgun cartridges significantly more powerful than .357, like .44 Magnum and .454 Casull, can cause plenty of TSC damage with good bullet design."}, {"id": 15, "content": ">>12\n>Okay, time to speak as someone who researched some of this shit.\nCan you cite some of his research?

Overall projectile penetration capabilities seemed poor.\n\nFackler in a nutshell comments that this isn't new but also isn't really enough to merit serious consideration.\n\nI believe this is the base-forward bullet pig study:\nhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3339702/\n\nFrom what I recall, Fackler says yes it turns out SCHV can produce temporary cavitation damage with an appropriate shape, even without fragmentation. However he also states this isn't relevant for a pointed projectile.\n\nLack of temporary cavitation damage with a yawing intermediate caliber round can be seen here:\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/20090219104944/http://ammo.ar15.com/project/Fackler_Articles/ak74_wounding_potential.pdf\n\nMercifully this is not paywalled.\n\nHere are some of Fackler's comments on the wound profiles of various military rifle FMJs - searching up \"Military Assault Rifle Wound Profiles\" will give you photos of some of the corresponding wound profiles.\n\nhttps://uthr.org/SpecialReports/spreport30%20Addendum.htm\n\nKeep in mind again that knowledge of wound ballistics at the time of the creation of this document was not as complete as it is now - M855 for example seems to be less consistent than M193.\n\nExplanations of TSC factors are found, I believe, in the IWBA articles and MacPherson's Bullet Penetration, I have access to both but don't feel like poring through them right now, you can pretty much just look up the equation for drag resistance for a quick summary of it.\n\nTBC"}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>15\n>>17\nCont.\n\nI believe this is where I found Dr. Roberts' statements on the approximate TSC threshold for .357 Magnum, though it might have come from another thread that I happened upon where he said something to similar effect:\nhttps://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?34904-Temporary-Cavitation-Wounding-Rifle-vs-Pistol&p=841160&viewfull=1#post841160\n\nPicrel is the first google image I found for \"12 gauge slug wound\" (in this case 2 of them). Wound channels end up being much wider than the projectiles themselves.\n\nHere's an example of wounding from a monolithic copper .223 hollowpoint. There was some notable bone fragmentation in the first which may increase wounding, but the bullet itself does not usually fragment.\n\nhttps://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/Wound+Database/.224+cal+-+Barnes+TSX.html\n\nFunnily enough I was just using this earlier as a demonstration of how minimal rifle wounding can be, it really doesn't look all that much better than a top tier .45 JHP to me. That being said, these holes are still considerably larger than the bullet itself at their widest, the TSC would be the obvious explanation.\n\nYou can find other photos and anecdotes of TSX and bonded soft point performance too. I remember a picture of RA556B wounding through a deer ribcage, I think the entrance was about ~1.5-2\" at its widest, so much wider than the bullet even if slightly modest as a whole. By the time it was exiting the wound had shrunk down to expanded bullet sized. Ribcage entrances are not necessarily indicative of lung wounding but can provide a clue. Unfortunately I cannot find this photo again but I do have several other accounts of modest but wider-than-bullet wounding from 64 gr BSB (bullet used in RA556 loading).\n\nTBC"}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>9\nthat's really fuckin weird because 400 grain projectiles fired going like 1400 fps from a 45/70 causes some truly gruesome wounding that goes far beyond what merely creating a 45 caliber hole would do"}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>18\nCont.\n\nHere is 77 gr TMK wounding at less than 100 yards from a 16\" barrel. Similar or slower impact speed, same caliber, but the different qualities of the bullet allow it to inflict far more damage than the 55 gr TSX I posted earlier. This example is a bit extreme but 4\" wide wounding at 16\" barrel impact velocities are pretty much the norm.\n\nHere is an example of TSC wounding from a ~.44 Magnum level hardcast bullet, actually a .45 Colt here.\n\nhttps://www.shootersforum.com/attachments/45coltlungs-jpg.10431/\n\nThe permanent wound channel in fact seems pretty modest, be careful to make the distinction between the lung bruising and the actual tissue destruction, also a bullet that hits at an angle can make the wound look larger in one dimension when looking at the exit on the surface of the organ. This is a bit hard to explain in words but should be pretty self evident if you take a moment to visualize it. Nevertheless the holes made are still larger than the non-expanding bullets.\n\nWhy? In this case the impact velocity is relatively low (~1300 FPS) and the frontal area is not *that* great, however the bullet has an extremely good form factor (flat point is about as good as it gets) so it can still do something.\n\nHopefully this has been a good demonstration of some levels (yawing small rifle, expanding small rifle, expanding + fragmenting small rifle, shotgun slug, magnum class handgun hardcast) of TSC wounding. I can find even more pictures if you are interested, I just don't want to run halfway across the internet and back right now since as I mentioned I don't keep most of these photos saved and pretty much just have to work off of memory alone."}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>19\nTo continue on, let me address some other comments, starting here. Yes, clearly if 300 gr non-expanding hardcasts from a .45 Colt at 1400 FPS can cause temporary cavitation damage to elastic organs, than 400 gr bullets at 1400 FPS from a .45-70 can also produce larger-than-projectile wounding. Your perception is not inaccurate.\n\n>>4\nI believe I am familiar with the IWBA article you are speaking of, a police officer posed this question about immediate incapacitations.\n\nYes a sufficiently strong temporary cavity can disable nerves, up to and including the spinal cord. I suspect (but have yet to prove) that a nonlethal shot to the bones of the face might also induce concussion through bone conduction, rather akin to knocking someone out with a punch. However I do not consider incapacitation through temporary nerve concussion to be remotely reliable in a general manner of speaking, I'm sure there are plenty of documented cases and anecdotes that bear this out. Note also that JHPs and JSPs produce the widest temporary cavity at shallower depths and by the time the bullet has penetrated deeply the TSC will have tapered down considerably.\n\nWhat Fackler really should have been questioning instead though was his sacred rule that the brain still has enough blood in it to allow for 10-15 seconds of effective action after the heart stops delivering any oxygen. Honestly I don't know exactly how this supposition was devised, the earliest source that I can track it back to was some ballistics workshop where no actual evidence or testing results were presented; there was one example given as support where a man's heart was destroyed by a shotgun and he still ran 60-65 feet, but the big fucking issue here is that it does not take 10-15 seconds to run 60-65 feet (especially when considering the distance through simple momentum he might have traveled after falling forward forward at the end of his run).\n\nTBC."}, {"id": 22, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>4\nCont.\n\nSo I don't know how they actually reached this \"10-15 sec\" conclusion, there is seemingly no experimental or practical evidence to support it and quite a lot against it really. Honestly what I think they may have done, and this might sound insultingly simple, is that they simply calculated how much blood is in the brain at one time, figured out the amount of oxygen contained in that volume of blood, and divided that by the brain's oxygen consumption per second. Do that and you get about ~13 seconds.\n\nExcept there are several really big problems with this. First only about a third of that blood is actually in the capillaries of the brain where it can be immediately used, about a third is in the veins (it's gone) and about a third is in the arteries where maybe some of it could theoretically flow into the capillaries with residual flow, but probably usually doesn't.\n\nAlso, only about 60% of the oxygen in blood can actually be effectively used as I recall, once it drops to about 40% saturation it stops being transferred effectively. Furthermore the blood already in the capillaries is going to be at varying stages of oxygen depletion.\n\nAdditionally consciousness =/= effective action, stuff like vision, coordination, and general awareness appears to start going downhill really fast as soon as oxygen perfusion of the brain decreases. On that note, even if the blood still has usable oxygen left in it, I would expect the transfer rate to decrease as the oxygen is increasingly used up.\n\nNow what I just said above is maybe for relevant for incapacitation in regards to humans, I suspect deer and most quadrupeds are somewhat more resistant to hypovolemic shock due to their smaller brains and more horizontal body structure (blood column doesn't necessarily have to fight against gravity as much), on the flip side perhaps more vulnerable to temporary CNS shock as previously mentioned."}, {"id": 23, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nUnless your temporary cavitation is massive or inside something quite weak and sensitive like the brain( but at that point you have other problems) it shouldnt do much but rupture capilaryes."}, {"id": 24, "content": ">>1 (OP)\ntemporary cavity in ballistics gel is irrelevant\neviscerated and hemorrhaged external tissue that extends from the initial bullet cavity doesnt happen until you get to rifle velocity above 2000fps, old english african big game hunters had a standardized velocity limit that whatever cartridge you use, from 9.6 to .375 or 505, the heaviest bullet you use has to have a muzzle velocity of at least 2300 fps in order to maintain its wound abilities within 100 yards"}, {"id": 25, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>>11\nCont.\n\nStatistically significant would imply that someone has actually conducted a study and performed multivariate analysis, then isolated the effectiveness coefficient of caliber alone and adjusted for standard error and uncertainty, etc.\n\nNow has this been done? Eh kind of, I'm aware of one study that evaluated lethality vs caliber (Ellifritz does not count it's not a proper study), unfortunately it's pretty bad. It does find that .45 ACP was more lethal than 9mm and .380 but the individual coefficients of the calibers are not given, although one can probably infer that .45 ACP's coefficient was likely greater than the smaller calibers. That being said, the study also missed a lot of important variables like bullet design - there is often much more difference WITHIN a caliber than between calibers - and exact organ struck and was conducted by anti-gun retards, I would not consider it a fantastic piece of scientific literature.\n\nI should also point out that .380 bullets are in fact actually ~.355\" wide so the .45 ACP starts out with a ~60% advantage in area. But what really matters is the frontal area after expansion, and here .380 accomplishes an average diameter (petal distance + valley distance /2) of about 0.45\" out of standard pocket pistol barrel lengths with Hydra-Shok Deep, we could be generous and say 0.5\" out of a longer barrel, while 230 gr HST +P expands to about 0.8\" out of a 5\" barrel. So that's ~2.5-3x the frontal area.\n\nIs that relevant? All logic to me would suggest that it is, is a .45 HST better than a .45 FMJ? Clearly, so it should also be better than a .380 JHP.\n\nNow with 9mm vs .45 it's more like 0.6\" vs 0.8\", so about 75% more area for the .45.

Damage as seen to Grosskreutz's arm was the effect of temporary cavitation, in this case also acting in concert with bullet fragmentation on a smaller mass of tissue (the bicep muscle) which results in even more severe wounding.\n\nFragmentation-assisted temporary cavitation damage is well known and repeatable (or about as repeatable and consistent as the bullet itself is, anyway). It was observed that M193 used in Afghanistan frequently inflicted more grievous wounding than the nonfragmenting 7.62 M80 ball that US forces used. Another article in an IWBA issue actually directly analyzes and compares fragmenting 5.56 FMJ vs nonfragmenting 7.62 FMJ wounds seen from a single unfortunate incident (Port Arthur massacre) and finds the 5.56 wounds to be more severe. In Kyle's case, it's likely that the 55 gr FMJ bullets used fragmented in all 3 targets and caused that kind of extensive wounding.\n\nHydrostatic shock is a completely different theory, basically that the bullet's shock is transferred through blood vessels and ruptures organs far away that neither the bullet nor its immediate temporary cavity ever even touched. This is something that is much less proven.\n\n>6.5 creedmoor has the desireable flight pattern of 5.56 and desireable terminal ballistic effects at farther range\nYes, 6.5 Creedmoor designs can be made to expand (and perhaps fragment depending on the design) out to long ranges, which allows them to inflict substantial temporary cavitation damage out to quite some distance. That and they also maintain velocity pretty well.\n\nAbsent any kind of fragmentation and/or expansion, TSC damage is drastically reduced in flexible tissues. At close range, yaw-only M80 bullets do seem to cause some TSC damage but they're markedly inefficient, I expect nondeforming 6.5 may be similar.

It had turned off its AIS transponder so that its location and other data were not visible to others.\n\nThe Danes managed to find out the location by intercepting information that the ship sent to a Russian naval base. The broadcaster sent a journalist and cameraman to the Vladimirsky in a fast boat. When he arrived at the ship, masked men appeared on deck and a heavily armed soldier in a bulletproof vest.\n\nA journalist from the Norwegian broadcaster NRK discovered a connection between the destruction of an internet cable between Spitsbergen and the Norwegian mainland due to the movements of a Russian fishing boat. They were strange. \"The transponder signals show that the Melkart-5 passed over the cable more than 130 times. More than 130 times, there and back.\"\n\nThat cannot be a coincidence, said a Norwegian shipowner. \"This is totally illogical for a fishing vessel. Even if there are an insane amount of fish.

In December last year it was on its way to the Barents Sea, almost a month before the start of the fishing season.\n\nAccording to the broadcasters, over the past ten years, the movements of more than fifty Russian ships should be considered suspicious.\n\n\"In the event of a conflict with the West, Russia knows where to strike to paralyze Danish society,\" the counterintelligence chief of the Danish intelligence agency PET told DR. According to the head of Norwegian intelligence, the Kremlin attaches great importance to the operation and it is being directed directly from Moscow.\n\nThe information that Russians collect is stored centrally, according to the DR. To be able to do this, a special software program called GUGI has been developed for Russian naval, fishing and merchant ships.\n\nThat would mean that all Russian ships could be deployed for underwater warfare.

It's not that I can't carry that weight, but it substantially alters the balance and feel of a rifle. I actually had to switch to a low mount from a 1.93 because all of that weight so high up made it feel like the gun wanted to tip side to side like a double decker bus. That said, it has a very simple and easy to use reticle, a decent 1x and acceptable (if not amazing) glass. I use it mostly to hunt deer in the eastern woodlands and it's totally adequate. My main defensive gun has a red dot though.\nI don't know all of Primary Arms' 5 gajillion SKUs, but one thing you need to keep in mind with a BDC reticle like PA uses is that's ultimately going to be set up for a specific barrel length and load. For example, a lot of BDCs on cheaper optics nowadays are set up for 16\" guns with M193 or 55gr 223, because that's what poorfags shoot.\nYou can still use it with your gun if it's not the same setup, but you need to use something like Strelok and practice at variable distances to get your various holds down, because it won't match the manual.\n\nLike other anons mentioned, you may really want to consider an ACOG. They are expensive compared to cheap LPVOs like the PA stuff and my Viper, but I can tell you from experience that you are getting way more optic for your dollar. They are seriously light and the glass is fantastic for the price. Your classic ACOG, the TA31, does have a very small eyebox, but what it gets from that sacrifice is a fucking massive FOV that IMO makes it easier to use out to like 300-400yd than my 6x, especially paired with the BDC and the glass clarity.

Accordingly, there will be no normal air support, which, moreover, must be synchronized for a successful counteroffensive.\n\n2. Untrained personnel.\nAccording to Ukraine, the personnel are trained according to NATO programs, or according to some European programs. But is it really so? The fact is that many videos from the telegram channels from the Armed Forces of Ukraine tell us that they are not properly trained, but thrown straight to the front line, and they are treated there like meat, respectively. But even if, nevertheless, at least half of the staff is trained qualitatively, then we have already seen how they are only capable of defense, and they probably do not teach them the offensive, because all their last offensive attempts in a few months turned out to be unsuccessful and futile. Quality education alone is not enough, but they will realize this too late.\n\n3. Lack of the above synchronicity and work together.\nA successful offensive requires constant communication with commanders for a conditional request for reinforcements or the delivery of ammunition to the battlefield, as well as for reporting on new enemy and equipment concentrations. Khokhols by nature are not coordinated people and are more egoists, because they don’t care about the death of their people, as well as commanders and Zelensky, unlike the Russian army, where work is always done together and you can always count on the hand of a comrade.

In Ukraine, the entire mobile resource is literally almost the entire male population + a certain number of female volunteers, which is savagery for Russia to take women on the battlefield and means that there are not enough men.

Technology is technology, but you still cannot replace people with technology.\n\n5.

Within a year, 12% of all newspapers, 8% of all publishing companies, 13% of all social science periodicals, and more than 150 films were either banned or shut down.

I have bought my first pistol so I will post some of the notes from the process. It helps me to summarize my experiences, and hopefully it might prove useful to others that are facing the same decision. Remarks welcome.\n\nMy requirements were pretty straightforward. I wanted a concealable striker-fired handgun in 9x19 Luger primarily intended for self-defense. Realistically, I will not be carrying it every day, but I want it to have that capability. One possible addition to this standard formula is that I want it to be optic-ready. Also, I intend to keep this my sole handgun for the foreseeable future.\n\nAfter an on-line search, I have limited my options to Glock 19, Walther PDP, and CZ P10C. All of those I was able to test next to each other on a firing range to properly compare them.\n\n> Glock 19 Gen 5: Straightforward and utilitarian. It didn't really fit well in my hand compared to the other two options. The stock trigger was long and kind of mushy(?). One thing that is definitely a plus is the outline of the gun and its dimensions. It is \"skinny\" and must be easy to conceal with no edges to get caught in clothing. Surprisingly for me, the 5th Gen MOS version was the most expensive of the three options.\n\n> Walther PDP 4\" Compact: Having it sit next to the Glock, it is apparent that it is a significantly bulkier gun despite the dimensions being pretty much the same on paper. Something to consider if you expect to carry it every day for 8+ hours. Great grip, nice trigger. Objectively, the most accurate out of the three (for me anyway). The gun definitely felt snappier compared to the other two, but once you expect it and modify the grip of your non-dominant hand, it was much better. I have liked the paddle slide release."}, {"id": 167, "content": ">>166\n\n(2/3)\n> CZ P10C: Somewhat of a middle ground between the previous two. More concealable than the Walther, but not as good as the Glock. Better trigger than the Glock, but not as good as the Walther. On paper, it has the lowest bore axis so it should be the best for fast shooting, although the difference was not noticeable compared to the Glock. It has an ambi mag release if you care about that thing. The only gun of the three with metal sights (lol). I have not found the supposedly aggressive grip texture to be an issue.\n\nAt the end, I have decided to go with Walther due to it having\n> a very nice grip and good fit for my hand (a subjective, but frequently seen opinion)\n> the best trigger out of the box\n> no need to make any immediate upgrades. I understand that the G19 can be run as-is, but if I were to buy it, I'd get an aftermarket trigger straight away.\n\nI did try to make the decision somewhat objective, but one important reason for me to go with the PDP was that I have really enjoyed shooting it. Using it really does spark joy and I am looking forward to my first time taking it to the range. Neither the Glock nor the CZ compare. If training really matters as much as people say it does, this is IMO an underappreciated point as I am now likely to spend more time with it.

If you like a CZ get one, if a pin breaks replace the pin, it's not a big deal. Triggers being \"bad,\" I mean it depends on you I guess, these HKs aren't bad enough to be a hindrance like a VP70 or P64 triggers are but they're certainly not SAO 1911s. For that matter CZ triggers are equally poor out of the box, but they have a higher potential for correction with aftermarket parts than an HK P30, USPc or P2000. IMO P30s have the best DA triggers of these guns being discussed and USPs have the best SA, but P30 SA isn't bad just a long reset and some amount of creep. You'll get used to it, if these guns otherwise check your boxes.\n\nThe problem is compact HKs are not cheap anymore, so for equivalent money you could get a CZ75 compact variant, replace a pin with a hardened one less likely to be damaged and upgrade internals with CGW parts to improve the trigger for the same or not much more than a P30, USP or P2000 would cost.

At some point the driver had the extra vents in the back opened to get the engines running properly again.\nThis helped, and might have been ok if the thing had been loaded a bit differently, and hadn't already taken in some water. Once some water splashed into the vents and onto the engines, there was a sudden burst of steam and the vehicle capsized.

To be honest, the days could have been made shorter, and after a while, they did exactly that. The shooting range is close by, and while the class rotates through the shooting course you can learn in a little building right next to the range to make use of your time. I'd say the 'hardest' parts were the mündliche Prüfungen. However, all of the Prüfers are very kind, and they will reach you every olive branch they can to let you pass. Only 2/21 people failed with us. One old Priest that couldnt shoot, and one woman whose husband dragged her with her to the course although she was clearly mentally handicapped. Overall it was a fun experience, and if you can afford it, do the hunting course, because sports shooters will continue to get fucked hard by regulations. Regarding future hunting opportunities; I was very young when I completed the course, and A LOT of boomers are super happy to take you out to their Revier, show you around and let you hunt.

NYC just felt more fetid and disgusting whereas LA was and remains the biggest modern proof of why gun ownership is invaluable.\n\nBut to put it into context:\n\"Today\" (past 4 years too lazy to get exact date) St Louis MO is the most dangerous city with a crime rate of 70 per 1,000 residents. Chance of a victim of violent or property crime is 1 in 14. Crime rate per 1k residents is 14.96 for violent, 55.05 for property.\n\nhttps://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/Papers/LevittUnderstandingWhyCrime2004.pdf\n\nNYC in 1990 was the peak of homicide. Homicde rate was 30.7 per 100,000. In other words:\n>St Louis 2020s = Chance to suffer violent crime - not necessarily murder\n14.96 out of 100,000\n>NYC 1990 = chance to suffer murder.\n30.7 out of 100,000.\n\nSo, take St Louis Missouri today and double it. While we're at it I am too lazy to crunch numbers but safely assume for the worst behavior of Seattle and Baltimore and Portland and let's double or triple it.\n\nThat's NYC in 1990.

I think only dipshit crime-apologists can argue against broken window policing (Even if I defended mild jaywalking earlier). Stop and frisk is a more complicated one because I can see the merits of being against\n>\"You're walking while black now I get to frisk you for no reason other than being a nigga\".\n\nBut in any case the going was good and gentrification was making lods of emone during Guiliani and the slimy wannabe-Emperor-Xi we all know and loath, Bloomberg.

Doesn't seem like it though. That'll be another useful lesson, because they want to do most of their launches now in Florida when it's in full production, or eventually on ocean platforms. So they can do their next serious launch platform better. Obviously this will be an advantage of ocean platforms, they can just have the thing aim straight at water and it won't matter.

Everything is on the table. People have mocked orbital resupply drops the USAF started looking at for example, but really why not study it? Orders of magnitude cost reduction with more mass/vol and cadence too has never happened before like this, everything needs a fresh look to take mass advantage even \"stupid\" stuff. Like, you can spend 50 fucking tons just on making and armoring a dedicated drop pod, by itself more than anything but the most ultra heavy rockets can do until recently (Delta IV-H was the best in US for awhile and was $450m a pop), and then STILL have 100 tons left over for cargo!

Things did work out in the end but they really got lucky FOD only took out as many engines as it did. Rockets are really a dime a dozen for them at this point, but they only have the one pad for now. I am still of the opinion that it was too much risk, but that's probably part of the reason I'm not high level management at a multi-billion dollar aerospace company. I really shouldn't be that surprised at their gamble though. It fits with SpaceX's high risk high reward, fail hard fail fast and iterate methodology. Realistically I know that the flight data is worth more than all their material assets combined, but it's still a hard pill to swallow. Regardless there's no sense in me quibbling further.

The three that were stopped at the start never lit at all, which is far more likely to be an igniter issue. And that was 100% a known challenge, because they're doing the first ever electric torch ignition system which itself is super hard, lighting a rocket is actually a huge challenge all by itself. Previously they used TEB/TEA chem system, but that isn't good for reuse and has a limited number of relights, you have X \"shots\" and then it's done.\n\nThe other ones that went out went out later, and if you replay the stream you'll see they actually got some of those back online before MECO. None of that reads as FOD at all, and indeed it'd be very surprising if FOD were able to go back up through the full power rocket stream and hit the underside of the nozzles anon.\n>Rockets are really a dime a dozen for them at this point\nNo, F9 isn't that cheap, and more importantly it simply can't do what they need anymore. They really, truly need full size V2 Starlink sats up ASAP, and F9 physically is incapable of carrying them (not weight, fairing is too small). And they have the big NASA HLS contract. They need Starship moving along at a steady clip.\n\nI don't think we're in real disagreement here, I just think the calculated risk wasn't that bad, and if nothing else they've definitely been very deliberately building up to this moment as well as possible. But at any rate yeah, Stage 0/Stage 1 test done successfully with a lot learned. I think their only real true sadness will be not getting to try a Stage 1 landing. Stage 2 was whatever.

Total empty mass for Starship is only around 300 tons, which is then loaded with 4600 tons of prop. At $15k/ton that'd still only be $4.5m in raw material.

Either I happen to discover something I want right on the final day or made a note earlier, and think that even the Buy Now price is perfectly reasonable so I just do it. Like, you're not talking much spread there, $3500 is really close to the $4k cap already. If it was me and I wanted it at all I'd just assume you as a bidder would bid up to $3750 or something at least, so I'd be paying $250 premium to not have any uncertainty and just buy it. If it's got a Buy Now of $4k and bidding starts at $1.5k or something THEN yes I'd expect a normal auction. But starting only $500 below buy now? That's basically a set-price item that they offered a small discount on just in case nobody was interested.\n>>6\nThat's a little weirder. A lot of people use auctions for price discovery, then find out that it wasn't worth as much as their hopes and dreams, and even if it didn't meet reserve then go back to those who bid and go \"actually would you want it anyway?\" If it went over $15k though I'd kinda expect them to go there first.

Will you accept that instead?\nThat kinda thing is not unusual. If the high bidder doesn't agree then they might offer it to the 2nd place bidder. But what's puzzling me is how the price went down that far. A final price of $11,400 represents an actual bid of $9500 plus the buyer's premium.

I recently upgraded to a Crossfire 2-7 and use the same rings because it is also a 1 inch diameter tube.\n\nThe rings will mount to any rifle with that style of dovetail, and any scope that is one inch.

Not that you should avoid it for that reason, just irks me that everyone sets 1000 as the benchmark for long range shooting. Tikka is very good, but inevitably no matter what rifle you go for it's going to be a compromise between weight/cost and how many shots you can fire before it starts losing accuracy to heat. Yes even a $500 Savage Axis can give you 1moa out of the box these days which is very impressive, but it'll only do that with the first couple of shots. This is why dedicated long range target precision rifles have thick barrels and weight a fuckload, but you obviously aren't going to want to run around hunting with something that heavy.\n\nFor most purposes I recommend keeping it simple/light/cheap. I think you are on the right track, just keep in mind what limitations the rifle you get have and set your expectations accordingly. 1\" groups off a cold barrel and ~800yd practical accuracy with ammunition you can easily find and afford to shoot out of a rifle that's easy to carry is a great combination that'll do 99% of what you will ever want to do.\n>>32\nAn old gunsmith put it very well when explaining it to me years ago.\n>\"Barrel fluting tactically makes the customer's wallet lighter.\"\n\nThat is to say yes, it is lighter and because there is more surface area it cools faster but the difference is minor relative to the cost. Most people do it because they have money to burn and think it looks cooler.\n>>26\n590 is a bit more beefed up. If you want it for HD or as a beater gun there's no reason not to. You can get tube extensions on it as well which the 500 and 88 can't accept.\n\nPersonally my biggest recommend is the 500 combo deal where you get the 28\" and 18.5\" barrels which you can swap back and forth as necessary.

The Glock gen 5 in 9mm is the best duty/defensive handgun out there. It has the most robust and safest striker design on the market while being the most reliable/durable option due to the gen 5 improvements. The Gen 5 Glock is the most reliable handgun the FBI has ever tested, which is why it won't their contract. Furthermore fully precocked and essentially single action striker fired guns are a mistake, particularly when combined with IWB carry. To be a reasonably safe choice they NEED a manual safety, even then they still aren't mechanically as safe as the Glock as the manual safeties on them simply block trigger movement instead of sear or striker movement leaving a single point of failure required for potential ADs while the Glock maintains at least 2, and that's ignoring the increased ND potential of a hair trigger with zero meaningful safety features. Even Glocks new attempt at mimicking SA striker fired designs is significantly superior to the competition, locking the sear in place unless the trigger is pulled. The Gen 5 9mm Glock with a SCD is the best option out there by a notable margin when it comes to a carry gun, combining the safety of a DA/SA gun and simplicity of a striker fired gun.

SMIC, who isn't yet producing 10nm at scale and didn't actually design a single piece of 10nm tech, now needs to start from scratch on EUV while also being trade embargoed from EUV machinery and know how.\n\nSlightly ahead of SMIC 10nm cope scale manufacturing TSMC and Samsung reached 3nm commercial production (after actual 7nm and 5nm nodes), and who knows what the fuck Intel is actually doing with their process nodes at this point. EUV also doesn't plateau until roughly 1-2nm once you factor interference patterning like was used for DUV shrinks so EUV won't plateau this decade; there are some good comments on this by Keller, Weiss and Hinton.\n\nSMIC is slightly more than 3 generations behind on existing foundary operations, and seems to be about 5 behind on foundry development and IC architecture or integration. The last is the elephant that no one is touching. Having a foundary is fantastic and all, but it's a necessary condition for making useful chips, not a sufficient one. China has never produced an indigenous CPU, let alone APU, let alone drivers or an ISA. China is still freeloading off all of the actually difficult fundamental work (lithography, process engineering, architecture, integration, drivers, ISA) and has demonstrated zero ability to do their own shit in these areas.\n\nEven if the free world plateaus in lith and fab development I think we're still extending our real gap on China right now, so the plateau will need to be very long for SMIC to scale the EUV cliff and then learn other shit well enough to produce competitive or superior chips."}, {"id": 250, "content": ">>79\nThey have the capability but peaceful reunification is always preferable.

If you're paying some engineer $250k a year in salary and a $10k CPU would make them 5% more productive, it'll pay for itself in a matter of months and make money thereafter.

Someone using it in different circumstances could easily find others much superior, unironically it really truly does on how you weigh the varying tradeoffs between everything. All the modern widely recommended bullpups, Aug/X95/Tavor 7/RDB/RFB/MDR/Hellion(VHS2), are solid guns that can be great fun as well as workhorses. All have their own weaknesses and sort of unique qualities too which could be critical or completely worthless. Like to take an example from the MDR, it's incredibly modular, you can even get it done in a straight wall like 350l or 450 bushmaster. Nothing else does that. If you live in a state with laws about bottleneck use, or even travel regularly to one, that alone could be an absolute killer app right? But on the flipside if you don't it could be utterly meaningless and purely academic, you'll never use it. And it's very expensive and has other downsides like bad block.

Is one group, or one brand only getting moa, as good as \"moa\"? Good question.\nThere is definitely some ammo component to accuracy, that's true of all guns. It's one of the three big principle reasons for reloading, you can almost always get better groups with carefully tuned reloads than factory and do a more consistent job. But (again as MDR enjoyer) I feel that spread is way too wide to call it a moa gun. A moa gun should be able to use off the shelf high quality match ammo and perform reliably, even if sure reloads could squeeze out a little bit more. No gun is going to do great with random steel case bottom barrel cheapshit, but that's not what's pictured there.\n\nBut yeah exactly where the line is has some wriggle room. Only doing it with ONE kind out of dozens isn't remotely good enough to me for sure, but what if it was 50%, 20%? Dunno. Another strike against the MDR that is objective instead though is tunability, which maybe should also factor in. Yes its gas block is a very respectable 6pos, you can tune the raw system for suppressors and such well. But since it's completely fixed, no float, you lose that whole dimension. With other guns you'd have that extra degree of freedom to tune the system to a given brand of ammo you liked. So even if they only could do moa 10% of brands \"at a time\", you could change it to a somewhat DIFFERENT 10% if that makes sense. Can't do that with MDR.

Even the really awesome best hard data reviewers still face the limit of their sample size (which is often 1, once in awhile 2-3).\nAnd a lot of those reviews rarely put serious time into the rifles, combined with unfamiliar ergonomics it makes accuracy vary wildly between shooters. If you just pick up a x95 and expect it to feel and shoot exactly like an AR, especially with a not great trigger, you're going to get 4 MOA groups and think they're all like that.

If I'm wrong, please correct me\nBasically it depends on what you mean by \"anemic\". The most common \"generic ethical hunting\" recommendation is 1000 ftlbs, and by that mark NONE of these are enough in subsonic. However, that measure is ultra conservative as a generalism, mainly because it's easy with normal centerfire supers and helps raise the chance that even total newbie shits who shoot like, twice per year, and are lucky to do 5moa, can hopefully get an animal. Tons of hunting is done in 22lr let alone more. Also, SUBsonic anon:\n>Assuming 1100 ft/s\nNo, that's not subsonic lol. 1050fps is the typical target.\n\nAnyway actual measured numbers here, official data not calcs. For 350/450 I'll use Hornady Sub-X, it's a common quality entry brand without getting into super pricing. Both are 1050 muzzle:\n350l: 612 fpe@0yd, 521@100, 457@200\n450b: 967@0, 837@100, 744@200\n\nFor 300bo, I'm picking one with sierra matchking 220gr, the common quality rec.

Shorter reqs probably have more to do with accuracy for most and just being really sure. With a 100yd zero all will be 33-35\" drop or so at 200yd. They fall FAST after that, but within 200 it's reasonable and one could always pick a 150yd zero instead. 450bush gives a lot more margin. In the, well, bush, 450 should have a little more leeway for minor foliage.\n\nAs far as your \"max range\" again, by 300yd you're looking at like, 100+\" of drop.

And yes, militaries have machine guns, and even service rifles do have times when they may be used full auto, or sustained. Do you?\n\nLet me give you another perspective: even during WW2, an average of 45000 bullets were fired for every single kill. By Vietnam that was more like 60000, and I saw a GAO report a few years back stating an average of 250000 bullets were fired per insurgent killed during the hotter parts of Iraq and Afghanistan. This is fine. For the military, bullets are cheap. Soldiers and advanced weapons and tactical position and strategic gains are expensive. It makes lots of sense to lean on their absurd logistics and spend tons of bullets. Standardization is incredibly important for the same reason, logistics.\n\nAnother example: US military has simply standardized on JP-8 for essentially everything, even though it's much more expensive per gallon. That's because a single fuel still makes more sense.\n\nNone of this applies to us. Their way isn't wrong or worse, but it's made under different incentives, with different strengths and different goals.

Now, about that second part: It won't be the current occupied territories since they are likely to make some acceptable gains during the next counter offensive and it won't happen any time soon. We're talking about 10-15 years in the future, if whoever is in charge in Ukraine is offered a guaranteed entry into NATO if they sing a peace deal and if the population is okay with that plan at that point.

However, in the meantime, Ukrainians are trying to reciprocate the damage and are also identifying and destroying Russian warehouses with ammunition and equipment.\n>It looks like the same action is going to take place very soon in the Orikhiv direction because Russian reconnaissance recently reported that Ukrainians are actively demining significant clusters of land. Another indicator of the imminent Ukrainian offensive actions here is the fact that certain elements of the 71st Jager Brigade and 46th Assault Brigade recently arrived at Orikhiv, according to Russian sources.\n>But while the soldiers around Orikhiv are just preparing to launch an assault, the famous Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade conducted a series of assaults near Vuhledar. Previously, I told you that Ukrainians counterattacked Russians from the north, undermined Russian defense in the eastern hamlet, and then cleared it. Recent reports suggest that now they mostly focused on the south and attacked Russian positions in the remaining tree lines in front the town, and, most importantly, they attacked the northern part Pavlivka.\n\nPt. 2"}, {"id": 4, "content": "Source/proof/links or fuck off"}, {"id": 5, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nstill too early, if anything only shaping attacks\nand if neither, this is a russian post hyping it up so anything short of a complete end to the conflict is a 'failure'"}, {"id": 6, "content": "Pt. 3\n>Many analysts have noted the intensification of fighting along the whole southern line, but today, the Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Defense finally confirmed that the counteroffensive operation has started.

Russian analysts predict that Ukrainians will make at least two huge attacks during the last week of April to test new tactics and then launch a full-scale counteroffensive during the first half of May.\n\nhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vcIhH1Vmz8I [Embed]\n\nSauce:\nhttps://euromaidanpress.com/2023/04/20/frontline-update-ukraines-counteroffensive-has-begun/"}, {"id": 7, "content": ">>2\n>>4\n>>5\nGoddamn, be fucking patient.

Its also containing activ sulfonate but the sulfonate grease got its sulfonate bonded to a carbonate which makes it not nearly as effective as free sulfonate. I also need a way to work around that problem for my sulfonate grease, it needs a free in base oil rust inhibitor able to booste the sulfonate grease. The other problem is that sulfonate grease needs a unrealistic layer thickness to play out its Pros, that layer is unrealistic besides internals. For that reason Eezox and CX are stronger than sulfonate grease. The PT1a shrinks down by 60% and gets solid so the layer of protecting cant be sucked up or washed out with capilaric effect. Its around more than 5-10times stronger than Eezox under lab conditions but IRL the customer habits only strike the oil products which makes it even stronger. And contact with a foam or fabric case sucks of oils, PT1a stays and pitted spots are filled solid making them even less prone to eust more deeper. Invisible rust (porous) sucks up PT1a and than it evaporated and makes the rust hydrophobic down to the reactiv metall, also problem solved here. 1 wipe with break cleaner and pre rusted parts are able to get a special problem solver :) big ass test on 3 year rusted steel is on the way.

In a company there are three platoons, each roughly 40 guys. Within each platoon, there are three regular squads of nine, and a weapons squad with the platoon's medium machine guns. Each platoon is commanded by a fresh lieutenant, and the senior NCO for the platoon is the platoon sergeant (PSG -- usually a sergeant first class). The platoon leader will draw up a plan, at the direction of the company commander, for his platoon's role in the assault. The PSG and the squad leaders will advise the PL on the best method of execution for the end state he wants. All of them will usually have been in the infantry for at least six years, most for much longer. They've all done numerous training cycles at every position below them, they understand the specific logistics of managing soldiers and using them tactically (e.g. tie down your NODs and PEQ so they don't fall off, pack enough water, X number of rounds will provide Y level of suppression for Z time, casualty evacuation management, etc.). These are all specific details the officer can't (and shouldn't try to) micromanage."}, {"id": 27, "content": "Attached is a picture of your company's attack. First, you need the support by fire to open up and suppress the enemy forces in the city while second platoon secures a foothold in the first building. But as soon as second platoon breaches the village, you don't want the SBF to be firing at them, so a shift fire command will be called by the CO. When he does that, the two weapons squad leaders -- very experienced NCOs -- who are managing the guns will direct their guns to adjust fire, and call up that the command has been followed so the CO can send second platoon into the building. When second platoon gets into the building, if they take casualties, it'll be the PSG that triages and evacuates them to the company casualty collection point, where the first sergeant will take responsibility for them. All of the movement in the building will be managed by fireteam leaders and squad leaders -- NCOs. Once the building is secured, it'll be NCOs that emplace joes in security positions so they can cover the other platoons' advances to their buildings. It'll be NCOs that take accountability of all their men, equipment, and tally ammo and water. It'll be the PSG that requests resupply from the company XO. It's not practical for officers to try to manage all of these details. Without NCOs acting independently to fix problems, nothing can get done efficiently. All of those actions require specific expertise and experience that an officer doesn't have, because he was never a private."}, {"id": 28, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nFun fact, russia does not have a concept of NCOs\n\nThe situation described here >>2\nIs literally how the russian army functions"}, {"id": 29, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nan NCO earned their rank. a commissioned officer is some rich kid who went to school to get his command.\nThis is the reason why the hero of old war movies is always 'Sarge' and why 'the lieutenant' is always a prissy little faggot kid with a mustache that's too old for his face.\nCaptain is also a rank that is earned through experience so that's why you hear that one sometimes too."}, {"id": 30, "content": ">>29\ncaptain is a time-in-service promotion, and in my battalion alone I've been around to see numerous utterly retarded company commanders"}, {"id": 31, "content": ">>30\nit's also less commonly used in said movies than 'Sarge'.

Elon always wanted big for Mars, but there was a time before Starship when he was seriously looking into recovering F9's second stage. He determined that there would be no margin left over for payload, even *if* you could pull it off (you might recall the SSTO craze of the 1990s, and the impossibly-tight margins that those designs worked with). The only way to stop throwing a stage away was to use a much larger rocket than even FH. And if he's doing that, he might as well make it big enough for his dreams of a Martian colony.\n\nThe cost projections are probably too optimistic. However, the key is to evolve the design to a point where engines are replaced about as often as engines on a F9, and none of them are ever just thrown away (like the second stage always is, even on the F9).\n\nAs for feasibility? Well, fifteen years ago, who believed that this private startup created by a nutty dotcom guy on a proverbial shoestring was going to come out with a first stage that could be recovered and re-flown over a dozen times with minor maintenance? Or that it would spend years trying to catch falling fairing halves in nets in order to save a few million bucks a flight, only to find a way to re-engineer them so that they could survive an unassisted splashdown and a salt-water bath until a boat could fish them out of the ocean?

Or shot it with another missile? Or like a bunch of Flak Cannons since it has to land in a vertical line and can't maneuver much as it lands. Seems like an easy to hit target.\n\nWouldn't the rocket be extremely vulnerable on the ground? It would be easy to surround the forces inside or guarding it's perimeter. Divide their attention and probe the defense circle for weak spots. Likely no heavy weapons on the rocket as weight is a huge issue Vs fuel consumption. Then any explosions near the rocket will tip it over, top heavy. So even a near miss from say a tank or rocket blast could still score a fatal blow on the rocket. Does the rocket even have enough fuel to land then take off again, is it refuled in space for the final attack or is it UP-down-UP again?? Seems like a lot of expensive fuel for a small attack force. Once the attackers come out of the rocket can't I just unleash like 30 military killer dogs from all directions and just let my murder pack rip them up and distract them as my commandos sneak in to mop up?\n\nWhy insert your forces via complicated Starship when the same basic results can be had by a HALO jump of commandos which is common practice today. The only advantage the Starship would give a force a possible egress vehicle. But having a vehicle on site means someone has to defend it and it's a giant hard to hide target sitting in enemy territory. It'll be a beacon for enemies to assemble on your only way out.

None of his stated actual interests involve launch, it's about doing stuff WITH launch, and in particular space stations/colonies. That completely different, and in fact incredibly complementary, with what SpaceX wants to do, which is launch and planetary colonies. Musk has repeatedly stated (and shown) zero interest in space stations and space colonies. On the other hand, SpaceX would be delighted to have another big partner to help increase demand and cadence for Starship, which would help more quickly bring down prices for both.\n\nSo if it wasn't for Bezos just having to do the big dick swinging \"I can do everything\" the intelligent thing to do would be to take all those billions getting pumped into BO and turn it into billions worth of stuff ready to launch on Starship and actually DO things. BO could be in an incredible position in that case, with tons of stuff ready to go. In 2-4 years it could have the biggest most advanced space station ever, get money from NASA that way (rent them an area), and off to the races. Like, they clearly are good at just building stuff on the ground, at building structures. That's what they want to do. They've been shit at the rocket part.

Each style of living would appeal to different kinds of people too.\n\nAnd as far as launch Bezos \"losrt\" forever ago anyway, even if eventually BO does actually manage to get to orbit, nobody is going to think of them in the history books vs SpaceX.

You keep bringing up that word, but the entire thing here is that no sharing is involved. Musk is flat out disdainful of O'Neill Cylinders, or maybe that's too strong, but he's just not interested. His focus is Mars. Not even the moon actually. He's not stupid, he can see how someday they could offer advantages, how asteroid mining could matter etc, and he's perfectly willing to offer infrastructure services, but he has zero interest in it. It's not a race, if someone else doesn't do it, then it just won't happen at all. \"Sharing\" would be if Bezos wanted Mars too and they were combining efforts to that. But there is ample room for people who want to do orbital hotels and colonies and moon people and SpaceX's Mars efforts all at the same time. They don't trample on each other's toes in the slightest.\n>Elon is currently massively in the lead\nIn launch, sure, but that only matters if you care about launch. Bezos has no reason to care about launch though by his own words.\n>I can't imagine there is any real inclination from musk to have anything to do with blue origin\nOf course there is, if they were a space hab/moon company.

The more they can make, the higher the cadence, the better they can amortize capital expenditure, drive down costs and refine it.

They'll need enormous volume for that, they can't do it 100% solo.

Walter's savvy was crucial to Glock breaking into the American market. He gave Gaston Glock, his employer, several important pieces of advice. First of all, the gun is manufactured very efficiently at the factory. The factory was built brand new to make this gun. So Glock has very, very high profit margins.\n\n>Gaston Glock was inclined to sell it at a relatively low price, retail price in this country, and Karl Walter said no, we're going to set the retail price relatively high. We don't want people think this is a junk gun. We want them to think that this is a high-quality gun, and the price will indicate that.\n\n>But then when he went to police departments, he said, look, I'll give you a huge discount from the, you know, the recommended retail price. Basically, you tell me what you can pay, you give me your old guns as trade-ins, and I'll outfit you with new Glocks.\n\n>And this was smart because the point was not to make an early profit on the police departments. The point was to get the police departments to adopt the gun, and that would give the gun credibility in the much larger, much more lucrative civilian market, where you can charge full price and get your full profit margin.

It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.\nIn the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.\nThe missile guidance computer scenario works as follows.

All of those issues you've pointed out have been issues for centuries, some for literal millennia. They continue to be relevant, but those are problems that have at least been started to be solved or at least discussed.\nMeanwhile cyberpunk explores issues that many people haven't even acknowledged yet. The digital age alone is such a pivotal moment in human history that it will be discussed by historians and reluctant college students for the next few thousand years. There will be entire schools dedicated to the study of this era, not even joking. The human body has not had time to evolve to comfortably adapt to this new world and there are a shitton of new problems that appeared.\nMeanwhile at best steampunk is an exploration of an alternate history of an era we've already lived in and understand or an outright entirely alternate world. While interesting, it doesn't really bring anything new to the table. New tech concepts, sure. But amplifying the old world changes very little. Steam may have turned farmers into factory workers and men into railroad kings but the human spirit remains the same. They are still people.\nBut the advent of the digital age has turned normal people into something truly different, a people who's existence was unimaginable a few short decades ago. To see them casually walking around, adapted to survive in a world both familiar enough for us to understand but foreign enough to make the madness interesting. Ever seen that video of that kid playing minecraft on an ipad with one hand and mindlessly scrolling tiktok in the other? Cyberpunk is filled with his grandchildren, generational gap included with each step. It's meant to make even him feel uncomfortable with how far things are going.\nSteampunk just doesn't have that cultural appeal. There are workers, kings, hookers, and priests.

This makes steampunk merely a medium.\n\nAnother litmus test: is cyberpunk utopian or dystopian? Easy answer: it's supposed to be dystopian, at least from the POV of the main character, the \"punk\". Is steampunk utopian or dystopian? No conclusive answer: because steampunk doesn't mean anything. It's merely an aesthetic, a setting. It's like high fantasy. Is high fantasy utopian or dystopian? Answer: could be either.\n\n>I blame not having a strong flagship\nThat's part of it.

The industrial revolutions were already what steampunk is, the unrestricted progress of technology and the madness of the culture change that followed. We already got marxist uprisings, the poor spilling their blood to build great techno-wonders for their suited emperors, those who despised technology, and so on. If you turn our clock back a century and your steampunk story still works it's not steampunk.\nSpeaking of tech, while the industrial revolution changed society massively it doesn't hold a candle to what the internet did. Steam and steel replaced or supplanted muscles, but the humanity went untouched. In cyberpunk the humanity itself is being eroded away. There's no real way for steam to match the effects of cyber on human culture, at least not without getting into the truly meaningless steam-flavored magitech. While some kind of leeway has to be allowed so that the creators don't have to kill themselves when you get into the \"it's steampunk, I ain't gotta explain shit\" your steampunk setting loses all justification to be used at all.\nBut that's fine, steampunk was born as technowank and it's what it's best at. IMO it's is at its best when it tells stories about the power of human innovation, the progress of technology and the discussions around its good and evils. Western Cyberpunk was an exploration of its many cultural issues at the time, hell you could even say that the tech isn't even driving the story.

Ukraine is at max capacity in terms of manpower and supplies from the west. Ukraine has to strike as early as possible before russia becomes even stronger. Russia needs to withstand the upcoming offensive, and if they do, they will start pushing when the odds are in there favor. bahmut is just a political battle for the ukrainians and a use of expiring resources (contracted 6 month prisoners in wagner) for russia. Honestly, I don't think that ukraine will succeed in their offensive. Russia probably knows where it's going to be and are very likely preparing for it. This will be the grand battle that decides the war. If ukriane doesn't cut off crimea, they will try to sue for peace, but I doubt russia will agree due to the sunken cost fallacy. It looks pretty grim for ukraine. Now I don't how good the political support for the war in russia is, so they could collapse but that is just guesswork. No doubt the west is trying it's best to support unrest in russia. Putin is pretty competent as a leader, but there are still a lot of uneasy oligarchs that he has to keep in line, those who have a lot of resources and connections in the west.

China's shipyards use modern construction practices that enable true mass production of ships. They heavily subsidize their yards to make building cheaper, so they get plenty of commercial orders to keep their workers employed and sharp. The same happens with their navy ships. The US shipyards by comparison are in famine mode and barely get enough orders from the navy and government (Jones Act orders) to survive. I'd also argue it's a Bad Thing for us to be relying primarily on foreign ships and shipping companies when our wealth as a nation depends on overseas trade.\n\nThe other problem the US has is that we try to stuff far too much future weapon vaporware into our designs, and when those projects encounter issues or have to be completely redesigned, or worse scrapped, it fucks with the hull procurement as well. The iterative improvement philosophy on designs that we practiced up until the '90s is just gone. Instead we built the Zumwalts for railguns that never worked out, we built the Ford for EMALS when EMALS was still being developed and subject to change, we built the LCS for \"modular mission modules\" that didn't exist and then feature-creeped the hell out of it because everybody wanted it to be a Burke. The Burkes are basically the last thing we've done that have been incremental improvement on existing designs without trying to cram in experimental shit that hasn't been finalized for actual production.\n\nFWIW I think the LCS could still be a decent vessel for officers getting their first command, it can run FONOPs and save the wear on the Burkes, and it can do mine warfare .

If only because it's been so long since the US did that. But assuming for some reason he was taking it seriously, it'd take a solid 15-20 years to see results, they'd build up just like at SpaceX, do trainer jets and so on first. They didn't do Starship day 1, they did Falcon 1. To be designing an ASF now they'd have to have started doing jets in the mid 2000s.\n\nAnother issue would be the need to manage a lot of subcontractors and integration. SpaceX and Tesla have both gone big on vertical integration, but that doesn't work for fighters at this point. Nobody can do it all. He doesn't really have the right personality for that.\n\nStill would be interested in theory to see what designs they came up with using a SpaceX (ie, US in general in the 1950s and 1960s) development methodology, with the aim of mass producing and ironing stuff out in real flight early.

It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.\nIn the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.\nThe missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error."}, {"id": 37, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nStink pigs are fun"}], [{"id": 1, "content": "Would you /k/ommandos trust this cat?"}, {"id": 2, "content": "I woof trust this fine indogvidual."}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nHe seems like an upstanding fellow."}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nLooks completely retarded\nwould give a senator title to"}, {"id": 5, "content": "Around black cats, never relax.\nOne day they're your friend, the next they take a nap on the stairs at night and send you off to cripplesville"}, {"id": 6, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nNo"}, {"id": 7, "content": ">I touch kot\n>kot begins to rumble\n> (:"}, {"id": 8, "content": ">>5\nThey are a force to be reckoned with."}, {"id": 9, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nHe's black and looking at me funny.

Minimum 1.5 years. Usually around 5 years. Canada, Finland will still need their own Hornets for around 5 years because they are frontline countries. Ofcourse, volunteers from US, Canada, Finland would be a realistic option. But you need more than pilots, you need trained crews who know every ins and out of the plane. For every pilot there is around 10-20 crew. And then you need the spare parts, more on that later.\n\n2. the Hornet is a difficult plane. It's designed to crash every time it lands. The landing gear has a built-in \"weakness\" with the planing link to assist in these rough landings. The downside is that the landing gear can get damaged if the plane flares before landing and touches down too softly.\n\n3. This also means that the Hornet airframe is always beaten up. A Hornet usually lasts for only 20-30 years in operational service. That means current Hornets will be cannibalized for spare parts, since relatively few Hornets were built compared to F-16s. The Hornet can't be compared to the legacy F-15s at all, which are basically treated with extreme care, and even the F-15s are starting to show cracks in the airframe.\n\n4. the Ukrainians right now need a better air superiority platform to cover more territory. Both the F-16 and the F-15 can sling missiles from a better distance than the F/A-18 Hornet.\n\n5. operating from highways with the F-16 should be no issue. Ukraine has shown that their highways are of standards of which the F-16s have been operated from before.\n\nIMO, the Ukrainians will get the F-16, and they are already in the process of doing just that...

Norse sources of the High Middle Ages, most prominently Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson, also give a Polish princess as Cnut's mother, whom they call Gunhild, a daughter of Burislav, the king of Vindland.[11]\n>Among the allies of Denmark was Bolesław I the Brave, the duke of Poland (later crowned king) and a relative to the Danish royal house. He lent some Polish troops,[25] likely to have been a pledge made to Cnut and his brother Harald when, in the winter, they \"went amongst the Wends\" to fetch their mother back to the Danish court. She had been sent away by their father after the death of the Swedish king Eric the Victorious in 995, and his marriage to Sigrid the Haughty, the Swedish queen mother. This wedlock formed a strong alliance between the successor to the throne of Sweden, Olof Skötkonung, and the rulers of Denmark, his in-laws.[25] Swedes were certainly among the allies in the English conquest.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnut"}, {"id": 142, "content": ">>136\n>>137\nNot the fucking point retard.

The Swedes only opportunistically decided to invade in 1655 after Poland was already engulfed in a huge civil war and the Muscovites/Russians decided to invade 1 year prior in 1654. Invade an almost undefended northern and western Poland because most of Poland's professional Crown army was fighting in the east, mostly south-eastern Poland aka Ukraine against the cossacks and Muscovites, so the Swedes could basically waltz through core Polish territories and plunder because they were at first mostly opposed by an disorganized and unprofessional levee en masse aka pospolite ruszenie...\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_(history)\n\nBasically, Poland fought simultaneously like 10 different enemies/armies (rebelled cossacks, Crimean Tatars, Russians, traitor Radziwiłłs, Swedes, Prussians, Brandenburgians, Moldavians, Transylvanians and Wallachians) all invading Poland-Lithuania between 1648/1655-1660/1676, but somehow against all odds, Poland still managed to kick out the aggressors and quell the rebellions in the end and save itself from the planned partition (Treaty of Radnot), but pyrrhically...\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Radnot\n\nP.S.

At first there were plans to modernize the MAG-98 with the help of Works 11, but this idea was soon dropped.[4] Work on the development began in 2009.[5] The design was to be in accordance with the requirements of the Polish military, which were outlined in a tactical-technical document published in 2014. The project's head designer was Piotr Dygas, who was supported by an engineering team which included Paweł Madej and Marian Gryszkiewicz. Both of whom were related to the development of the MAG-95/98 pistol. Despite external similarities to the MAG-98, the PR-15 was actually designed from scratch because FB Radom did not have the technical documentation of the pistol, which was owned by a different company that was bought by Works 11.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FB_VIS_100\nhttps://youtu.be/tYLMdyFK5hM?t=493 [Embed]"}, {"id": 269, "content": ">>268\n>However, the initial prototypes did feature some components from the MAG-98.

In reality, the designs are largely incompatible, including their magazines.[4] Preliminary and qualification tests began in 2016.[7] Development of the pistol ended in 2017 and it passed military qualification tests at the end of the year.[5] In December 2018, a contract was signed for the delivery of PR-15 to the Polish army, and name of the gun was changed to a VIS 100.[8] In 2019, the contract was extended to a total of 19,900 pistols.[9][10]\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FB_VIS_100#Development\nhttps://youtu.be/tYLMdyFK5hM?t=610 [Embed]"}, {"id": 270, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>yet another 5.56 rifle, functionally the same as any other 5.56 rifle\n\nwow"}, {"id": 271, "content": ">>unknown\nLearn how to shoot, faggots (more FB shilling for ya);\nGrip.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8ew4V2Yg6I [Embed]\nPosition.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EXsnt6cDZ0 [Embed]\nTrigger-finger.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVBjObv5ulU [Embed]\nReset.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1roJwiWQkA [Embed]\nIPSC.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfzIwAuR3pU [Embed]\nVIS 100 M1 Tactical.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKvqunvaGbk [Embed]"}, {"id": 272, "content": ">>unknown\nVIS 100 vs VIS 100 M1 - military vs. civilian.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKTndvaCkSM [Embed]\nBurger overview and review of VIS 100 M1 (civilian):\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEVmlk6hStA [Embed]\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpQENNpnRQ4 [Embed]"}, {"id": 273, "content": ">>253\nYour choice. ;)\nhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/8cHt2FHXzp0"}, {"id": 274, "content": ">>269\nSome more MAG 95 shooting range footage:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/jzFRi6dXp6I\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIsdJV1KOZ8 [Embed]\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAgjHxT_-GY [Embed]\nhttps://youtu.be/Qxg74SGLZ_g?t=133 [Embed]\n\nP.S.

Okay. now you're just left with absolutely mentally broken people who are completely unable to cope with reality and integrate into society.\n\nI have a theory that the real cause of these shootings is a complex combination of overmedication and the autopilot, emotional unavailability of society at large, the widespread culture change that has taken over from the 50's to now, Unironically nigger culture corrupting america. Economic disparity, multiple recessions and rampant corruption in politics and banking, across every sector of the economy and industries.\n\nThis is what people refer to when they talk about the collapse of america. Your people going out and mass shooting totally random strangers doesn't inspire the idea that you're living in a healthy society and country with bustling opportunities.

The only reason people don't shoot .22 lr through a .22 mag is because the accuracy is degraded by the tolerances between the bullet and the bore. For a micro-snub like that, the reduction in accuracy at about 5 yards or under is so insignificant that you can use .22 lr through it for self-defense, even plink at close range. You'd need to be attempting 15 or 20 yard shots for .22 lr to make any practical difference that you would notice over shooting from a 3/4\" barrel. Even then, I have my doubts up to ~15 yards you'd detect a measurable difference. The main reason I wouldn't have it loaded with .22 lr is the loss in performance; .22 mag from that gives a significant edge in damage inflicted when you're trying to stop a threat.

It was far too severe, and I very seldom fired it, but it is a curious fact, that I never fired a shot with that rifle without bagging: the entire practice, during several years, was confined to about twenty shots. I was afraid to use it; but now and then it was absolutely necessary that it should be cleaned, after months of staying loaded. On such occasions my men had the gratification of firing it, and the explosion was always accompanied by two men falling on their backs (one having propped up the shooter), and the \"Baby\" flying some yards behind them.

They don't tell you fuck all about the power of a cartridge except in a vague sense.\n\nThe mm is about the bore diameter. Caliber is roughly about the bore diameter in inches, where .45 = .45 inches, but naming is all fucked. Gauge is even more retarded. It is about the bore diameter relative to the circumference of a spherical pound of lead. A 12 gauge shotgun has the bore diameter of a 1/12th pure lead ball. This is why a 10 gauge is larger, it is 1/10th that size.\n\nAnyhow, it doesn't mean much without knowing the cartridge. 5.56mm NATO is an intermediate cartridge used in many assault rifles and far more powerful than 9mm. But 6.8mm and 7.62mm are more powerful than 5.56mm. .30-06 is larger, and slightly (or a decent amount more if pissing hot) powerful than .308. There are many .50 cal cartridges, which is 12.7mm. there is .50 Smith and Wesson, a round used mostly in gigantic revolvers, which while powerful for a hand gun, isn't more so than a rifle. There is .50 Beowulf for a retarded .50 assault rifles, which is a dumb cartridge. But what most people mean when they say .50 cal or 12.7mm is the Browning Machine Gun round, which is very large and used in anti-material sniper rifles or heavy machine guns.\n\nLarger bullets are effected less by wind and tend to have straighter ballistics if they have enough power behind them. This is why they are ideal for belt feds, because you might only get a short window to hit the adversary as they move between cover, e.g. a chance for traversing fire, but this is harder with 5.56mm because it has rainbow arc ballistics at greater distances. Also, you can generally engage at longer distances with a belt fed anyhow and penetration is more important for the automatic rifleman. But it's too heavy except for mounting in vehicles or setting up in a fixed position.\n\nSoviets and their successors use 14.5mm for heavy machine guns, which is even more powerful. At 15mm+ automatic weapons are \"autocannons.\""}, {"id": 34, "content": ">>33\nAlso, for artillery there isn't a linear relationship between bore diameter and size.

The anti-personnel mines were often just bullets or grenades hidden in a hole in the ground, or repurposed munitions from the enemy. It was difficult to navigate the dense jungle while dealing with guerilla tactics, including traps laid and hidden bases used for night raids and ambushes.\n\nThis allowed the insurgent forces, who were defending and entrenched in the local area, to passively take out invading forces. Some traps were the same as those used for large animals. For example, a tiger pit trap would be a large pit with a loose cover filled with spikes, which was the punji stick trap used in Vietnam. The spikes were covered with infectious material, meaning that an infection would kill even if the wound were healed.\n\nThe cartridge trap was a small hole with a bullet sitting upright inside on a makeshift firing pin. When stepped on, the bullet would fire, going through the foot and up the side or into the torso. It was an extremely cheap and effective trap that would at least go through the foot to disable a soldier and occupy a medic, at worst killing the victim.

I believe Malaysia has a bunch of Su27s or 34s or whatever.\nThere are multiple countries that use variants of the flanker (usually the Su-30), including India, Algeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iran, Angola, Uganda, Venezuela, and of course China has its own knock-off flankers which are arguably better than the Ruski’s. However something you’ll quickly notice from that list is that while some are openly hostile to the US (Iran/Venezuela) and others not, they are all developing nations. Geopolitically, they simply have very little to gain from potentially damaging their relations with Russia by handing over some of their jets to Ukraine. Not only could Russia cut off logistical support to any remaining Su-30 aircraft in their fleet and leave a big hole in their defences, but some of those nations are dependent on Russian imports of gas, fertiliser or grain. Even for those are not, third world countries are not going to be convinced to treat Russia as a major security threat like Eastern Europe does because Russia can’t really project globally (outside of Syria or shithole Sahel countries). It’s an irony of Russia’s diminishing power, but their relations with third world countries are far less controversial for those states since the end of the Cold War because they don’t have the baggage of trying to forment revolutions against these governments. Since Russia expansion into Ukraine is no immediate threat to them, they can be a lot more dispassionate than European countries in their reaction to the war.

I don't know why the OP is pretending S-300s are immune to HARMs since they're \"theater level assets\" or something. HARM has 60-70 nmi range depending on model and an S-300V/PMU is going to be firing at about that range, if less.\n\nOh yeah about that another interesting thing about SEAD. If you have the SAM site located you can fire at a lot longer percentage of range than the SAM site can fire at you, as the SAM site needs to account for you maneuvering to defeat it. You can just fire max range at it and get the same result, shut down of its radar or it attempting to engage your ARMs.\n\nSo you might be able to find some specs and claim HARM has 80% the range of a particular SAM model, but in reality the HARM is firing at absolute max range while the SAM is firing at 75% of its max range, so it balances out or comes out in favor of the HARM."}], [{"id": 1, "content": "FUUUUTURE Edition\n\nPost wood (furniture)\nFuture Is Looking Bright\nReasons To Keep Living: Battle Rifles\nFrogs Helping Frens\n\nThread Theme:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6120QOlsfU [Embed]\n\nAs always; No Trips, No Traps, No Airsoft ~\nPrevious Thread: >>unknown →"}, {"id": 2, "content": ">>unknown\n>XM7"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nThank you, op."}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>2\nOptical illusion, probably just the table bending under it.

High end modern battle rifles can hit 1moa, which is more than enough to hit at 800yards. What is a Sniper rifle anyway? It's a rifle with high accuracy that can consistently hit at ranges. If a Sniper Rifle with half MOA went up against a Battle Rifle that can shoot 1MOA, they would still hit the target at 600yards consistently.\n\nAs you increase distance, bullet drop off will be greater with the battle rifle, but it's not unreasonable to say that a high end battle rifle can hit at 800yards without much affair.

Even a shockwave held at mid-arms length actually protrudes further from the body than the muzzle of a shouldered KSG. Pair that with more than enough capacity to get through virtually any fight you'd reasonably encounter and there's actually an argument for it being superior than conventional manually operated shotguns. It is heavy and the action is rougher than your run of the mill rem 870 or mossberg 500/590, but that is definitely in the skill-issue category of problems.

As for shortstroking, just don't try to run the gun faster than you can during range practice and you'll be fine.

Purges in some of the national regions, such as Ukraine, had occurred already in the early 1930s. Before the turnabout in Ukraine in 1933, a purge of Veli İbraimov and his leadership in the Crimean ASSR in 1929 for \"national deviation\" led to the Russianization of government, education, and the media and to the creation of a special alphabet for Crimean Tatar to replace the Latin alphabet.\n\nAfter Stalin, an ethnic Georgian, became the undisputed leader of the Soviet Union, the Russian language gained greater emphasis. In 1938, Russian became a required subject of study in every Soviet school, including those in which a non-Russian language was the principal medium of instruction for other subjects. In 1939, non-Russian languages that had been given Latin-based scripts in the late 1920s were given new scripts based on the Cyrillic script. One likely rationale for these decisions was the sense of impending war and that Russian was the language of command in the Red Army.\n\nBefore and during World War II, Joseph Stalin deported to Central Asia and Siberia several entire nationalities for their suspected collaboration with the German invaders: Volga Germans, Crimean Tatars, Chechens, Ingush, Balkars, Kalmyks, and others. Shortly after the war, he deported many Ukrainians, Balts, and Estonians to Siberia as well.\n\nAfter the war, the leading role of the Russian people in the Soviet family of nations and nationalities was promoted by Stalin and his successors. This shift was most clearly underscored by Communist Party General Secretary Stalin's Victory Day toast\n\n>I would like to raise a toast to the health of our Soviet people and, before all, the Russian people.

Certain areas of Ukraine were targeted. They killed intellectuals, cultural leaders, and destroyed art and monuments while carrying out the mass killings. Food was expropriated in huge amounts. A natural famine did contribute to the deaths, but it was as much cover for them.\n\nFirst huge food quotas were set. Then armed men came for extra food quotas while people were already begining to starve. Then when these could obviously not be met, as was already known as evidenced by parties coming with the means to transport livestock, all livestock was taken. People found hiding food were killed, and then their entire settlement banned, on pain of death, from trading with any other settlements, meaning they could do nothing to get more food.\n\nThe last order was to make it a death penalty offense to gather up left over grain from the harvest. That is, you were to be killed for not letting scattered bits of grain rot on the ground. Such a move was obviously intended to depopulate Ukraine.\n\nAt the same time, Stalin moved tons of Russians into Ukraine. This period is why Eastern Ukraine and Ukraine overall is so ethnically Russian. The Russian share of the population more than doubled, becoming a large minority due to the genocide. Somehow, there WAS plenty of food for these new settlers, and tractors as well.

The author is just trying to find ways to shit on American capitalism because he is a filthy commie, but because Americans have a \"no-holds-barred\" mindset, he lies, disassembles, and contorts the argument to incite racial tensions and cast aspersions on America's history - even as he acknowledges repeatedly that historians disagree with him in his own damned article. The Times will never apologize for this article or any other like it, for example another by the same author called \"America Is in a Disgraced Class of Its Own\".\nIn a sense his behavior is fine, because the US is one of the most multi-ethnic societies on the planet and it's important to grapple with racial issues, even if they are literally made up.\nYet this isn't a paper being published for review in some college magazine, it's published online to the world-wide-web and now there are dozens of anti-American state media rags in China and Russia plagiarizing its talking points, used to demonstrate the invalidity of American ethics. Ignore their own heinous ethnic cleansings, even to the modern day, of course. These articles are then paraphrased and re-shared on social media to incite workers and ethnic minorities in the US to hate their white (and even Asian) peers, and then the same actors often run alternative media accounts that play the exact same game but on the other side, to tell the majority that the minority is their enemy and coming to take their lives and guns and so on.\nThat effort was supported by the NYT's reporting, even though their intent was to win votes - not to start a race war.

Now take the relevant parts of Egypt as well.\n\nNow perform a SEAD action against every single one of them, while your army is forced to stand and fight, while your navy isn't immune to 'some' reprisals, and your airfields are under bombardment.\n\nJack off all you want about Desert Storm, but it wouldn't have meant anything if Saddam had launched an invasion before we had time to place our army there and bring our Super Carriers into position.

This isn't discussed often, but when the F-4G was retired and the SEAD job given to F-16s, the squadrons had a mix of F-16 pilots and former F-4G pilots retrained to fly F-16s. The guys who were already F-16 pilots didn't go through the SEAD school the F-4G guys did.\nBasically if a nation is given the resources the US has, SEAD is going to start with volleys of cruise missiles, ADM-160 MALDs, stealth, electronic warfare, the works. After giving the enemy a rude awakening and taking out critical radars and command & control, the F-16CJs can start to do work. If a nation only has American donated F-16CJs and AGM-88 HARMs, things are not going to be simple. The US has to write a syllabus that not only has to give the recipient training that the US hasn't focused on since the 90s and that also omits some information just for the sake of not revealing everything we know, but the whole thing has to be done in a vacuum without air superiority or a bunch of Tomahawks."}, {"id": 133, "content": ">>111\nNot opposed."}, {"id": 134, "content": ">>84\nIt's not just some magic weapon, it's also tactics and training.

Thing honestly works great reliability wise even out of the box which is cool. Just liberally apply some CLP to the moving parts and it's running like a swiss watch with CPRN. Been firing 5-10 rounds of M193 clone through it after every 150-250 rounds and haven't had any issues reliability wise with 5.56 from using it. Negatives wise the .22 gets all sorts of nasty sandy gunk in the action and even in to the lower receiver parts so you're doing a mildly detailed clean after every range trip. Even the bolt release and shit is getting gritty quick. Gonna run a couple hundred more through it without cleaning tomorrow hopefully as a stress test and see if it'll still run .22/5.56 reliably despite the gunk with just BCG cleaning. Other negative is that .22 obviously has near zero recoil in this setup so it could result in bad habits recoil control wise. You pretty much need to act like the things gonna recoil like a 5.56 while shooting the .22 to avoid that which seems to be working fine as 5.56 is low recoil anyways. Recommend holding it TIGHT to the point you can feel the .22 bolt reciprocating so you aren't surprised by the 5.56 when switching back. POI is similar enough to be fine for closer range work.

The needs of boots on the ground SF drove innovation for the last couple decades, especially in the field of performance synthetics- the PCU system is manufactured almost entirely by outdoor brands ranging from patagonia to arcteryx and the cheaper ECWCS components are just off-brand materials sewn together by federal contractors.\n\nIn terms of noticeable changes, cotton is out everywhere but pants and the outside of shirt arms that still use 50/50 ripstop because you just can't beat cotton's durability and fire resistance. Base layers are all synthetic or synthetic/wool mixes. Socks are FAR better designed & require incredibly complicated machines to knit. Tops use wicking synthetics under body armor as well as heat mapping. Outer layers are almost entirely synthetic, use Polartec and primaloft's cutting edge fabrics & and built to properly manage heat and moisture over minmaxing waterproofing and durability. Load bearing gear has advanced exponentially in utility but that's a whole other topic.

The fusion core issue I really don't mind since it's clearly put in there since they decided to give you a free suit in the first 15 minutes of the game and once you get the perk that increases your core's lifespan it's not an issue. As for the lore side of things, Fallout 4 and Bethesda did an amazing job of contradicting themselves in their own game. You read the loading screens and they tell you how the T-51b was the peak of pre-war power armor yet in game it's worse than T-60. The loading screen tells you that the X-01 is a post war design but you find a whole suit locked away and quest line where it's shown that it was a pre-war design that was more or less in early production. 76 did a good job of fixing the mess that Fallout 4 made by making the T-51b one of the best power armors and making it better than the T-60.

It would have made more sense of the T-60 was a brotherhood design which is basically all of the T-45ds that they had but upgraded by addeding more plates and extra protection which explains why the design is more bulky and not as clean as the pre-war armors. The brotherhood would be able to make and produce power armor especially since they captured all enclave bases in the capital wasteland (Adams air force base etc) which the enclave used to make power armor. 76 once again comes in to fix the lore by making the T-60 into a service upgrade for the T-45d. The US military had a whole stockpile of T-45ds that are considered \"outdated\" by 2077 so instead of letting them go to waste they just upgraded them to extend their service life therefore making the T-60.

Clutch rounds would become much more common, which is far more interesting and inherently provides a higher skill ceiling. The counter strike design stems from the early 2000's where the devs both did not understand how firearms worked and were lazy with animations. Many of the guns in the early game (even into early CSGO) shared the same exact animation, The community only defends it because they hold onto concepts from the earlier games and always seek ways to defend it. I.E. balance/timing. It's a rot killing the game. Go watch any pro match now compared to the early 2000's. Far less clutching and interesting round turn outs. Everything is top down 2D map control with clinical timing. This is not a good thing especially when you consider that so many maps are so clearly one sided.

Why? Because in the early aughts Purdue Pharma lied and stated that Oxycontin was safe for use and shockingly non addictive. They then leveraged the (now banned) pharma industry sales pushing to have docs overprescribe the drug. As a result an entire generation of Americans have been addicted to narcotics. Many of these new narcotic addicts were then unable to secure any oxy due to cost and scripts expiring. The withdrawal from these drugs is so strong that many preferred the cheaper option of heroin. This created the early 2010s heroin epidemic that absolutely rocked the Midwest (where I grew up became the heroin capital of the nation and it's a suburb town of less than 80k people). Why did these addicts switch to heroin and now fentanyl? Because they are the cheapest oxy like drugs that are the most widely available. The people responsible for this were called by Congress to testify a year or so ago. The main culprit refused to even show his face on zoom during the testimony. During this testimony Americans then described watching their daughters, mothers, fathers, brother, sisters, brothers, etc undergo withdrawal and eventually killing themselves via od'ing on fentanyl laced drugs. These testimonies even include a family describing how they had to get their six year old daughter through a narcotic withdrawal that would have put Ray Charles to shame. The major drug users of the USA at this point are not beyond helping, but you need to understand the chem cocktails that get them to that point and who the responsible parties are. As these cartels continue to use fentanyl to create a more lucrative highly addictive black market they have also been killing more Americans.

The issue is that there are few safeguards preventing the fake nucleotides from escaping the cells they are meant to target - whether the coof or cancer - and ending up all over the body, or preventing the fucked up DNA copying inatructions they're making cells produce from ending up in the environment, where they can be picked up by another organism.\nSimilar drugs were found to have significant carcinogenic risks during trials, leading to them being prescribed in limited cases, and Molnupiravir from what I can tell is no different.

The split comes from House Goodmen's ancestral belief that good men, godly men, would be the saviors of the realm. Fairly early in their history, however, their cadet branch which had taken up residence at a castle called the \"Goodkeep,\" northwest of the Dreadfort, came to believe that the Prophecy of the Goodmen actually referred only to one man, the Goodman, and not multiple good men - though some say that the Goodmens of the Goodfort were the cadet branch and the Goodmans were the original. The feud grew and grew for a thousand years, and the two branches of House Goodmen grew farther apart and more bitter towards each other. It finally culminated in the splitting of the house during Aegon's conquest, when Lord Goodmen bent the knee to Aegon. The Lord of the Goodkeep would not abide, and declared that his house was foreverafter separate from House Goodmen. Thus, House Goodman was founded, and not a fortnight later the forces of the Goodkeep and the Goodfort met and did battle beneath the snowy boughs of the Goodwood. It was said that the Goodstream ran red that day, the spilt goodblood of thousands of Goodmen and Goodman bannermen flowing out into the Shivering Sea. It is said that Lord Goodmen and Lord Goodman perished on each other's swords, cursing their foes' families for generations afterwards with their dying breaths."}, {"id": 94, "content": ">>90\nOh, I don't mean the execution is perfect, it's scholck.

Firstly your soldiers get less bored. Militaries already try to steer smart people out of MOS that are inherently for dumb people or which are set up for dumb people for practical reasons, because smart people in boring jobs become disruptive and tend not to do the job properly. Secondly it neuters the coup risk.\n\nFighting wars, even leading small units well in them, doesn't need much intelligence. The truth that no one wants to trumpet is that the combat arms enlisted cohort is already significantly dumber than the general population. The ASVAB or your national equivalent is designed to ensure that they are. Army/USMC enlistees are broadly representative of general society, maybe very slightly dumber accounting for the officer streams and Air Force soaking slightly more than their fair share of slightly more intelligent than average candidates. In peace time, the Army/USMC then needs to devise a system that ensures the jobs that need smart people or which have demanding training leads (eg EW) are filled with smart people, and that as few smart people as possible go into very boring jobs (eg gun number). In war time, it's even more pronounced since you will absolutely avoid wasting intellect on high mortality combat jobs. Either way, if you take an average cohort, then take as many of the above average people out as you can, you're guaranteed to be left with a below average remainder. That remainder is the combat arms, and unsexy logistics jobs.\n\nEvery MOS has a minimum IQ that the occupation tasks, levels of supervision, training methods and training durations are designed to be achievable by.

I guess you go into every interaction expecting everyone to hate you and tell you to fuck off, and when that doesn't happen, you feel the need to prove everyone wrong.

Adjustable gas regulators on piston guns are all you need to switch from suppressed to unsuppressed use - it's simpler. And to keep this as short as possible, surely you know that adjustable gas blocks on ARs are anything but recommended for a good reason.\n>Better for regions with varied climates.\nI've shot my ARs and piston guns enough to know which gets caked in carbon and which gets a light dusting; ARs can run dirty, as long as they're lubricated, that's part of the design. But in regions where there can be massive temperature and humidity changes, the effectiveness of a lubricant can be severely diminished, possibly bringing an AR to a hault. Piston guns run dry but want to be cleaned, ARs run dirty but want lube. Again, this makes a short stroke gun a simpler solution for most countries.\n>They're simpler to design around varying barrel lengths, multiple calibers, and different cartridge loadings.\nTake the SCAR as an example, from a 10\" barrel 5.56 to the 20\" barrel 6.5CM, the gas block is in the same spot and all that changes is the little gas jet within the gas block. This maximizes parts commonality and simplifies production, lowering costs. Not the case on ARs, where a simple barrel length change (not to mention caliber changes or subsonic vs supersonic ammunition) requires a different gas block position, gas tube length, different buffer weight... again, the short stroke is the simpler option.\n\nThis isn't to convince you that SSGP > DI.

Squirrels will go down even with a Daisy 880 or Crosman 2100. The modern ones have plastic receivers unforunately but they have harmonica clip \"mags\" which make loading them a lot less of a hassle, especially with a scope. Gamo swarm is available at Walmart for UNDER $150 with a scope. You can have Daisy Red Ryder speed with the power of a break barrel since it's a mag fed break barrel. Just cock it and don't worry about the pellet. I may be biased but I think of it as filling a gap in the market. You have 10 pumps, you have break barrels and underlevers, but to go mag fed with something powerful and somewhat quick to ready another shot, you have to go straight to PCP. The Swarm is the same price as a bunch of other break barrels and is nearly as quick while being much cheaper and easier to use.\n>medium game\nSee that's where my knowledge drops off like a rock.

They're broadly the same although you can save yourself a little bit of hair pulling by getting one that has a built in trigger guard and a threaded bolt release roll pin (knocking in the roll pins for bolt release and trigger guard is annoying as fuck), Aero M4E1 stripped lower is a good cheap example of what I'm talking about although it won't look \"correct\" if you are trying to make your rifle look like any specific M16/M4 setup.\nYou can save some money putting the lower together yourself. It is relatively easy, requiring a buffer tube wrench and basic tools.\n\nUpper matters. Stripped upper receiver not so much, but for a beginner you're better off buying it already completed and the upper is where all the important stuff is. The quality of your barrel, bolt, bolt carrier, features like free floated barrel and ambidextrous charging handle can help too depending on how fancy you want to get.

Here is a good example. Watch these fools try and shoot a super hard recoiling revolver. Note the young guys are trying to \"death grip\" the gun--you can really see their arm muscles bulge out when they grip the gun, yet they still can't control it for shit and they nearly lose hold of it on more than one occaision. Then watch the old man shoot. He's got noodle arms by comparison and he's not trying to death grip the gun. But he can shoot it much better and he never loses control over the gun because he allows the gun to rise to absorb the recoil rather than trying to fight it with a death grip. Raw strength or \"death gripping\" the gun is never the answer.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XEsamEcJn0 [Embed]\n\nThat said, I think airguns are excellent for learning marksmanship. They are cheap to shoot so you can get a lot more time behind the trigger. Also, because their muzzle velocity is usually a lot lower than that of a real gun it's much easier to pull your shot off target if your hold isn't correct. Shooting airguns really forces you to get your fundamentals correct. This is especially true if you pick up one of those super accurate match pistols or rifles like they use for olympic competition. Those will put the pellet in the same hole every time so ANY sort of deviation from that is 100% to be the shooter and there's no blaming anything on the gun or \"group size\". You still need to train with a real gun as much as you can as airguns aren't giving you the whole experience, but I do think they are great for learning fundamentals."}, {"id": 87, "content": "Im stupid and haven't ever been to an indoor range before.

I finally lucked out got a copy of “Swordsmen in the British Empire” as a birthday gift thanks to my son. There is a wealth of info there and I seriously recommend the book for a number of reasons. There is no way that I can sum up the 630 pages here, but here are some exerts regarding sharpness of British and US blades. The British swords during the Indian campaigns were sadly lacking, not good for much more than knocking a man off of his horse, as were some of their theories.\n\n\n>“I have heard that, in some cavalry combats in Spain [during the Napoleonic Wars], the French dragoons were bruised and contused by our men, without being severely wounded.”\n\n\n>“Nearly four decades later, ... observed that most sowars or Indian cavalrymen were “far better swordsmen than our own troopers, whose cumbersome sabres, that won’t cut and cannot point, with their heavy steel scabbards, are not to be compared with the native tulwar...””.\n\n."}, {"id": 38, "content": ">>37\n>“One point among others in which they differ from our regular cavalry is that they are allowed to keep their swords always sharp: ...”\n\n\n>“I had one squadron which I always kept ready for service at two hours’ notice in India, who sharpened their swords in that way, but the Ordnance came down and said I should have to blunt them again at my own expense.”\n\n\n>Here is the reason for not sharpening. “It wears them out too soon, before their proper life; it is a more expensive job”.\n\n\n>“... thus incurring what was officially considered to be an unnecessary replacement expense, they were to be sharpened only before a battle or during a campaign, ...cut was often useless; because, as Maj. Gen. J. P. Brabazon (former colonel of the 4th Hussars) noted, “”They get blunt in two days with the steel scabbard.”” “”Moreover, many officers and troopers were opposed to sharpening at all,”” arguing they were dangerous.\n\n\n“... and why was government-issued British military swords were generally blunt; here is a pertinent commentary of a former U.S. volunteer cavalryman."}, {"id": 39, "content": ">>38\n>“”I wish to say a few words here for my justification about the cavalry saber. If the officer who was the victim of thirteen saber cuts at the second Bull Run battlefield had been struck by a scimitar or a Damascus sword, he would soon have died from lose of blood, ... This razor-like sharpness [referring to the blades above] is not resorted to by civilized nations like Great Britain and the United States. I am officially informed by our Navy Department that it has never been the custom in the United States Navy to sharpen cutlasses or swords before battles. Some readers will doubtless remember the horror which was felt, not in England only but elsewhere, when Admiral Napier signalled to the British fleet in the Baltic Sea during the Crimean War, ‘Sharpen your cutlasses.’ The well-known fact that Admiral Napier belonged to a family renowned for fighting proclivities was held to be no excuse for the issuing of a brutal order. >There was a well-grounded fear in our Civil War, both in the Southern and the Northern armies, that a captive who had a sharpened weapon in his possession was in danger of being killed on the spot like a captive wolf.””\n\n\n>There was also a reference to King Richard’s reputed fascination in watching Sultan Saladin placing a silk handkerchief on his blade and then slicing it in half by rapidly drawing the blade, to give some idea of European blades during that time"}, {"id": 40, "content": ">>39\nwhat was the reasoning behind this?"}, {"id": 41, "content": ">>40\n>the reasoning\nOfficers.\nRich comfortable lifestyles unaccustomed to honest violence.

Also troopers weren't known for taking care of their gear, and a sword could be doing duty as a meat spit, latrine digger and backscratcher as well as battlefield implement\nThe idea went in and out of fashion, I've seen historical swords that were very sharp indeed, right next to ones about as sharp as any modern military sword today"}, {"id": 43, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nThe Changs actually still issue swords as field equipment.

Think 1796 light cavalry sabre - it, along with its predcessor was the standard sabre for only some 30 years and heavy cavalry was still using straight swords. Every other time, before and after both the British cavalry and infantry were using mostly straight swords that were often thrust focused, although some somewhat cut focused swords were also prevalent, like the infamous Scottish broadsword, for example.\n\nFor the French, Italian and Spanish swordsmanship they all broadly favoured the thrust and point work, however during the Napoleon's campaign in Egypt they encountered a lot of cutting weapons and swordsmen and picked some things up from them, gradually switching to a better cutting cut and thrust style sabres, although a good number of officers still favoured thrust centric swords nonetheless.\n\n>>42\nThis honestly isn't true, definitely isn't since high middle ages. Chinese metallurgy reached the levels of high middle ages several centuries earlier but the crucible steel of the middle east wasn't actually that great and its hype is a late early modern meme. The bigger reason for these accounts is the fact that swords stopped being a widespread military weapon of the common soldier in Europe some time in the 17th century onwards, being replaced by the firearms supported by dwindling number of pikemen and then muskets with bayonets, from which point on it was relegated to being largely an officer's weapon and you know the way most pre-modern officers were.\n\nWhile the rest of the world was still regularly fighting in melee with military swordsmanship being both common and in demand this period reached its peak in 16th century in Europe and had been in a fading decline ever since, relatively speaking."}, {"id": 46, "content": ">>45\nNot to pick nits but the Chinese had normalized, diff-tempered high carbon steel 2000 years ago- the Japanese learned it from the Chinese- and wootz steel was of such a higher quality than what was commonly available that it was the reason swords from Damascus and then Toledo became bywords for quality, it simply wasn't available other than through those trading/industrial hubs. Pre-Mughal India had steel so good they made hunting bows out of the stuff instead of wood. Portuguese traders in the Congo in the 1500s couldn't flog their shitty pig iron to the natives since the Africans produced better bloomery steel than anything Europe could export for centuries.\nHigh quality ferrous metals existed in europe but they were exclusively the province of the ultra-rich, and swords were carried by regular troops off and on well into the late 1700s, it didn't become exclusively the province of officers until the 19thc, Thomas Page and and Henry Angelo come to mind.\nthere's no shame in admitting Yurop was technologically deficient in many ways, they still managed to pull it together and conquer the world etc"}, {"id": 47, "content": "Katana buying advice?

The German gunsmiths working in America were very familiar with German rifles, which seldom had barrels longer than 30 in., and were large-caliber rifles using large amounts of lead. Hunters in the vast and sparsely populated new world forests had to carry more of their supplies with them. The smaller caliber required less heavy lead per shot, reducing the weight they had to carry; the longer barrel gave the black powder more time to burn, increasing the muzzle velocity and accuracy. A rule of thumb used by some gunsmiths was to make the rifle no longer than the height of a customer's chin because of the necessity of seeing the muzzle while loading. The longer barrel also allowed finer sighting. By the 1750s it was common to see frontiersmen carrying the new and distinctive style of rifle.\nIt turns out that when the supply lines getting you ammo are extremely long, it helps to have something that uses consumables more efficiently while still getting the job done."}], [{"id": 1, "content": "Is there seriously any reason why these sights are worth $70 when a poverty pony AR is selling for $400?\n\nI hate the factory sights but $70 seems steep"}, {"id": 2, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nI have them on my SKS, I like them a lot.

Again my first tip would be to have the saw be at an angle where it won't get flipped, tho no need for hammer this time since saws are round so just don't make it horizontal, and I guess I'd make it turn so the serrations go downwards when colliding with the enemy to maximize grip, tho that may make you more vulnerable to flipping...

We could still have washing machines/dryers, even fucking dishwashers if we want (but we'd have wives). With the talk of smart cities where you are tracked 24/7 and facial recognition that recognizes you through a mask, digital wallets/currency, digital proof of vaccination, electric self driving cars that will self drive you to the police station for driving through a yellow, and basically being human QR Codes, etc I think internet free societies will be the only option out in the future. We could live off the land (mostly) and trade jam, fish, etc with normies who live in pods, eat bugs and spend their lives in the virtual reality.

I'm not a fan of factory shotgun stocks in general, even for hunting or clay sports the average factory stock is a compromise. IMHO there needs to be more focus on the fit of shotguns. Yes it's less important for tactical style shooting than it is for hunting or clays but it still matters. And with modern technology there's no reason it shouldn't be. There are many ways to make adjustable or replaceable buttpads for changing LOP. Angled shims can be used between the action and stock to adjust cast and drop.

MOA scales linearly, for example if you double the distance then the diameter of the dot should be twice as large. But shotgun spread doesn't necissarily follow that rule, it really depends on what choke is in the gun and what the wad is.\nFor example, this is some test data from The Modern Shotgun by Burrard (vol. 3, pg 80).\nIt is diameter of shot pattern in inches vs. distance for various different chokes. Range is 10 thru 40 yards in 5 yard increments.\nCylinder bore: 19, 26, 32, 38, 44, 51, 57\nI.C.: 15, 20, 26, 32, 38, 44, 51\nHalf: 12, 16, 20, 26, 32, 38, 46\nFull: 9, 12, 16, 21, 26, 32, 40\n\nIn this particular case the \"full\" choke happens to perform fairly close to \"MOA\". If we go from 10 to 20 yards we'd expect the pattern to double. It goes form 9 to 16\", that's pretty close to double. Taken out to 40 yards we'd expect it to be 4x9 = 36 inches, we get 40. So that one is kinda like MOA. But then take the Cylinder bore for example, it's 19 inches at 10 yards. We'd expect 38 inches at 20 yards and 76 inches at 40 yards but we only get 32 and 57 respectively. So you can't really assume that it always spreads like normal \"MOA\"."}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>15\nInteresting, thank you for the high effort post anon.

The characters in the first movie are space truckers who are treated as disposable objects. The second movie plays with this some more, in that the Marines act like badasses but that's a kinda cope for the fact that they're also disposable tools. Everybody is basically being used as a means to an end on behalf of the megacorporation. There's also a feminist theme, but I think it's a real kind of feminism here and not the fake kind, since Ripley is initially dismissed and not taken seriously, but she uses her empathy to figure out how fucked the situation is and pushes the lieutenant aside to take control, and she's also tough and has some muscle and can work alongside the Marines but isn't dependent on them. Hicks is also tough guy who is gonna waste Burke (the slimy corporate guy), but he's also empathetic and has a thoughtful side -- he's not a total jarhead -- and understands Ripley is onto something. Then you see Hudson who goes from being the ultimate badass Marine who talks about how the Marines will \"protect\" Ripley, but then turns into a blubbering baby screaming \"game over, man!\" Which has a hilarious effect but it's also because of the sudden reversal of roles. By the end of the movie, it's Ripley who is the ultimate badass because she's a mother and protector but also a warrior.\n\nDamn I love that movie.\n\n>The other main through-line is that Man's hubris is their downfall.\nA bit like Dante's Inferno or something like that.

No. Even at their height they never could and that's why they never tried. BUT they could have caused catastrophic damage to Europe in a Cold War gone hot scenario, even without nukes, likely causing extreme amounts of economic damage.\n\nLikely how a war with the USSR would have gone, is that their initial push would have easily swarmed West Germany and taken it quickly. I don't think they would have advanced further, but if they did, they likely would have been able to get into the East of France before their supply chain was stretched too thin. The ensuing NATO counter-attack, once organized however, would have likely pushed the Soviets back out of the territory they had initially taken and could have probably pushed into Western Russia and even threatened Moscow itself before nukes came into play. But I don't think NATO would have advanced into Russia in such a situation and would have likely just retaken all of Germany and reinforcing the fuck out of anything that borders Russia. The rest of Europe not aligned with NATO would have likely joined it at the first sign of a Russian invasion, and I bet even Switzerland wouldn't remain neutral.

The trigger is easily moveable as it has no tension on it but the sear wont return to the \"unfired\" position unless I force it with my finger. In other words the trigger will not reset. In the pic directly above the trigger is the trigger pin, the next pin to the left holds the sear in place and allows it to rotate in and out of position as the trigger is pulled. This pin will not budge. I originally thought it was a broken sear spring that was causing this, but now I cannot even budge the sear pin even though it seems like it should be removed quite easily.

High beams were on bc its dark innawoods and nobody else is on this weird backroad. All of a sudden my dad slams on the brakes and yells out “what the fuck” … some big animal cleared the entire road only touching the pavement once. I caught a glimpse of it for a second or two but it was BIG. Long tail, black fur, ran like a cat. My mom thought it was a big dog but she didnt really see much of it. My dad was spooked and said thats a fucking big cat , there’s nothing else that can clear a whole 2 lane road by touching the ground once etc etc… kind of got forgotten about until a few years ago when an uncle said he thought he saw a big cat in the same area… did some research and there’s actually a bunch of big cat sightings in western md/WV… pretty cool.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one.

These are safety to bystanders and increased blood loss in the person you shoot.\n\nFirst, safety, hollow points are safer to use because they are almost universally designed to stop within the thickness of a human torso. To do this they dump their energy by deforming the bullet. As the round accomplishes expansion by the fluids of the body pressing against, translating it's movement into deformation and coming to a stop. You are less likely to kill someone behind the person you shot. They also are less prone to ricochet.\n\nSecondly is blood loss. If you fail to hit the central nervous system, then you have to use blood loss to the brain to incapacitate the target with a firearm. People die from lack of blood flow to the brain, simple as. Hollow points, create a larger wound cavity and some have talons to cut as they go. This will increase blood loss and give you a better chance of having them lose conciousness before they kill you.\n\nFMJ on the other hand are cheaper and offer superior penetration. If your ammo is excessively weak for your target, such as using a handgun against a bear or carrying the weak .380 in the winter where people have the added armor of layers of clothing, an FMJ may give you the needed penetration to reach vital organs. It also feeds more reliably in cheap and outdated guns. It's common among gang bangers to use FMJ mostly because the ammo is cheap. It is less effective.\n\nLastly, military is prohibited by international agreement from using hollow points. Tumbling fragmenting armor piercing incendiary rounds are fine though."}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nFunctionally nothing.\n9mm-.45, regardless of jacketing are all going to perform roughly the same.\nShot placement is king.\nYou're not going to be discussing actual difference in pistol calibers until you get into meme cartridges."}, {"id": 17, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nwould make out whatever you are"}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>15\nYet people forget that hollowpoints have a big downside as well, which is a potential to mushroom up when imposing bone, which results in a complete failure to penetrate.\nScrewdriver bullets are probably the way to go.

This is preferable in many DGUs because 1) it keeps that energy from hurting someone else and 2) it maximizes your likelihood of causing a wound that forces your attacker to stop.

FMJ will also generally do a fine job at stopping an attacker if you can actually hit what you're aiming at; it's a fine option if it's what you've got.\n\nA JHP expands when it hits a person, which means it carves a wider channel through said person, which means it's more likely to turn an edge hit or near miss of a vital organ into a hit which actually damages that vital organ and stops the fight. The difference is minor, but it might be the difference between rapidly crashing someone's blood pressure due to lung involvement and shutting their body down before they get a knife into your butthole.\n\nUltimately, when we're talking about handguns, shot placement is the #1, #2, and #3 factor in whether you're gonna win the fight or not. Having a shitload of really great ammo but zero practice won't save your ass- buying a shitload of cheap shitty ammo but shooting a lot in practice will save your ass.\n\nThe best thing to do IMO is buy a box or two (~100 rds) of good JHPs, shoot about 50 of 'em to make sure they work in your gun and hit what your sights are aiming at, and then practice with standard FMJs that are roughly the same in terms of ballistics (i.e 147gr federal hollowpoints at 1,000 fps for carry, 147gr federal flat nose fmj at 1,000 fps for practice) so the recoil impulse and point of impact are similar.\n\nAlso, dry fire you lazy fucks"}, {"id": 27, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nCute eye pls be a boy"}, {"id": 28, "content": ">>17\nThat's a dude, you sure?"}, {"id": 29, "content": ">>11\nTumbling rifle bullets are a thing"}, {"id": 30, "content": ">>unknown\nMan I really want grapefruit now."}, {"id": 31, "content": ">>25\nWhat?"}], [{"id": 1, "content": "I'll start with one that still makes my blood boil\n\n>be me\n>2014ish\n>browsing r*ddit (hey nobody's perfect)\n>stumble across zoomer post\n>apparently his grandad was a legit Chad in Vietnam\n>rifle malfed during a VC ambush and he fought his way back to camp with his good old 1911\n>Ho Lee Fuk\n>entire family owes its existence to St. J.M.

It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.\nIn the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation, the variation being the difference between where the missile is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was.\nThe missile guidance computer scenario works as follows. Because a variation has modified some of the information the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice-versa, and by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be, and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error."}, {"id": 90, "content": "America even used one Apache lmao.\n\nHellfire naval version when?"}, {"id": 91, "content": ">>39\nPlease understand we need museums.\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_museum_ships_of_the_United_States_military"}, {"id": 92, "content": ">>3\nI'm pretty sure you're just mad because you're too stupid to have actual comebacks.

There's plenty of books, YouTube videos, hell even milsim vidyea out there that gets deep into these things. Granted having been infantry in the Muhreenes doesn't make me the most knowledgeable guy in tactics, but we did a lot of tactical training when it came to small unit tactics. Which is good for infantry style warfare but has no application in my civilian life. When it came to CQB (which has SOME application for home defense) there's only so much you can teach and practice. Past a few basic principles, tactics are basically dynamic concepts that you apply to your shooting skills which should be high to begin with. As a civilian I am not double stacking behind barricades with my equally trained buddy where I have to be careful about my knee/leg positioning so that I don't kick him out of cover. I have no need for that info anymore unless I believed I would be fighting groups of armed men with my groups of armed men.

Here's what USPSA can do for you:\n\n1. Gives you an objective, brutal, uncompromising standard to judge yourself against purely based on speed and accuracy (you're not likely to run into any of the more complex scoring rules outside of classifiers, and classifiers generally don't matter that much)\n\n2. If you don't have access to an outdoor range, it gives you a public, easy way to show up, do full 160 degree transitions, move and shoot, and work on the clock under the supervision of other people who are probably better than you and can give you real advice for improvement.\n\n3. It forces you to shoot a series of CoFs which you didn't design, on the clock, and cold. You can't retry it over and over again because you fucked it up- you have to actually perform on demand. At a normal range it's easy to shoot a drill ten times and cherry pick your best run to make you feel better about yourself, but at a match if you fuck something up, that's your score.\n\n4. You'll meet other people who are serious about guns and shooting in an environment where it's easy to make friends and back each other up. The USPSA community (here in MN at least) is fucking outstanding and extremely welcoming. I've made a ton of friends I wouldn't have otherwise met, dudes who had my back and helped me out when one of my guns got stolen, for example.\n\n5. It'll give you a much more realistic picture of the actual performance you're capable of. It's easy to shoot a drill, hit a par time, and decide you're good- getting beaten at a USPSA match will show you the level of performance which is actually humanly possible, it'll show you how much faster and more accurate it's actually possible to BE. That's rough at the start but exciting as you get deeper into it.\n\nPretty much any 9mm or more powerful handgun can be shot in USPSA.

I know that’s not the best answer but it’s honest. Barring mechanical defects, any of the big four (being M1a, FAL, AR10, G3) are going to be at least accurate enough to hit a man sized target out to 400 meters.\nYou said battle sights, so good iron sights? I don’t think you’d find many here that complain about a G3’s iron sights. I love them, and think they’re the best iron battle sights out there. People also like the FAL iron sights as well. AR will have whatever you put on it. Do you want soul vs pure function? Function: get an AR10, 16 or 18 inch barrel, then find BUIS you like. For an optic, a prism like an ACOG is a good choice, but I would personally prefer a MPVO for the magnification options.\nIf you want soul: you can’t go wrong with an 18 inch FAL pattern rifle, folding stock, and a railed dust cover. Mount the same optic options on there and call it good. Same with a G3 rifle: get a PTR with the welded rail (or one without and a rail mount if you don’t like the aesthetics). I’ve heard using a prism optic like an acog is a little unwieldy on a G3, due to the shorter eye relief. M1as are nice, have good iron sights, but I don’t have much experience with them.

Seem to be the best options for someone starting out that wants an off the shelf AR10. M&P is just less upgradeable, and needs more upgrades than the other two. If you don't like ARs, then a PTR, but they aren't as good.\n\nIf you're comfortable about building your own AR10, take an Aero frame, and get a Criterion barrel or Faxon barrel.

This is wrong.\nThe difference in point of impact from a slightly incorrect sight alignment, say from a shaky hand, is sometimes (especially with pistols) even bigger than the difference you’d get from a slightly incorrect sight picture.\nWhen using a red dot you effectively eliminate the issue of sight alignment, allowing you to focus completely on the sight picture. Theoretically there is parallax but it’s nowhere near enough to make a difference depending on how you look through the red dot assuming your red dot isn’t trash.\nWhen you’re laying down and are able to hold the rifle completely still and have perfect sight alignment there is no major advantage to red dots over iron sights though"}, {"id": 187, "content": ">>183\nI had a G33 liked it; and the more I thought about an LPVO I realized 3x with the benefit of taking it off when I want is a good fit for me and my distances.

Liebgott wasn’t even Jewish. Everyone in East thought he was due to his name and how he spoke a funny dialect of German.\n> Liebgott was born in 1915 in Lansing, Michigan, the oldest of six children. His parents, Joseph Sr. and Mary, were immigrants from Austria. Joseph Sr. was Catholic, and raised the children as Roman Catholic and attended in Catholic school. He grew up in Oakland, California. He finished 2 years of high school and worked a variety of jobs, mostly helping his father in their barbershop. He listed his occupation as \"cook\" in his enlistment records.\n> After the series aired, his children made contact with Bill Guarnere and the rest of Easy Company, attending a reunion in Phoenix in 2002. There they revealed that their father had raised them Catholic. Moreover, they reported that, unlike the memory of their father given in the book and series, Liebgott had never hacked a cab in San Francisco, and did not go back there after the war.\n> Instead they said their father had gone missing after the war, and remained missing for three years, never even telling his parents where he went or that he had even come back. His family believes that he suffered, like many veterans, from PTSD (post-traumatic stress syndrome), and decided to \"bum it\" for a while, dropping out of society.\n>He turned up in California's Great Valley, got married, and raised a large family. He worked as a barber until his death. He never told his 8 children about being in the war. They only found out after the book and series made him known. Digging through his things in the attic, they discovered the 506th regimental scrapbook, and his jumpwings.\n> While Liebgott is said to be Jewish in both the book and the miniseries, there has been much confusion over this point now that his family has been found and contacted. They were raised Catholic, were told their father had been, and his dogtags were stamped Catholic\nSeems Ambrose didn’t do enough research"}, {"id": 97, "content": ">>12\nSh-shut up!"}, {"id": 98, "content": ">>13\nOne of the most soulless, beady-eyed, bloodthirst men in England, which is saying something."}, {"id": 99, "content": ">>98\nHe gave Germany a taste of its own medicine.

As squad leader you can set your own spawn point; drop it down about 200 meters from your objective and it will be mostly safe, then you usually run about 50-100m in to the actual combat.

Placement of your squad spawn is VERY important in HLL so I basically play SL 99% of the time. Like I said before, place it down about 150m or 200m away from the frontline and you will be good.

God forbid you don’t understand a 30-year old reference to Father Ted. It’s honestly quite ungrateful given how much they owe America. Their development from a rural backwater to a wealthy modern state was built off the back of US investment, and tax-dodging big-tech companies helped them recover from the Great Recession. US diplomatic support kicked off the good Friday agreement and ended the troubles on arguably favourable terms for Irish nationalists. US support was also critical during their original war of independence, providing money, diplomatic support and also somewhat deterring Britain from going full Cromwell out of fear of US backlash.\n\nWithout America’s charitable support, Ireland would probably still be quite poor or possibly not even exist as an independent state. I think the reason that they indulge so much the usual third-wolrdist/leftist anti-American narratives is that they have a bit of a moral superiority complex.

And when BOTH of them are breathing down your neck in the 1940s-50s you really don't have many options there.\n\nBy the mid 20th century, the colonial empires were pretty much all blown the fuck out anyway, what with two world wars and a drastic rise in anti-imperialist revolutions. Their economies were largely shattered, and maintaining the colonies was just too great a burden on what was left so the logic went.\n\nNow, by this point the only real remaining old colonial powers of great note were the Brits and the French. The Brits decided to basically just ask colonies if they wanted to be independent or not, with a few exceptions. Most of them chose to leave, at which point the Brits went \"Aight, peace\" and just left them abruptly. This led to a massive wave of power vacuums.\n\nThe French... well, they decided to go down kicking and screaming, and waged two back to back colonial campaigns in Algeria and French Indochina/Vietnam. Both of these wound up being expensive boondoggles, happening at the same time the French were really unhappy about America assuming a strong leadership position in NATO. America may have been the tip of the spear liberating France in WW2, but post WW2 the US was very unwilling to support France in its remaining colonial ambitions.\n\nA more charitable read of French actions post ww2 was them being scared that their former colonies would collapse into the same frantic African genocide sprees that many of England's did, that they wanted to GRADUALLY downsize their colonial empire. A less charitable view is that they really wanted to reassert themselves in all ways--an independent nuclear program, military adventurism just a few years after being occupied, etc"}, {"id": 29, "content": ">>27\n>quisine\nThe irony of having so much of your vocabluary being bastardized French that you can't even spell"}, {"id": 30, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nFrance never left NATO you ignorant swine"}, {"id": 31, "content": ">>29\nit's still better than being forced to speak bastardized English for people to even listen to you, don't you think?"}, {"id": 32, "content": ">>31\nouch\na palpable hit"}, {"id": 33, "content": ">>3\nLuxembourg as well.

Much of gear thought process is based off of what works for the military, which makes sense to a degree, but when you are removed from their logistical network, some of the logic falls apart.\n\nFor example, if you are shot in the gut, you are FUCKED if you do not have access to a trauma center. Within the military, they can just stop the bleed and stabilize before getting them to a surgeon, but for us, that wouldnt always be an option. I think that one should assume that if society breaks down, any major surgery is a no go, and therefore getting shot in the abdomen is just as bad as being shot in the torso, perhaps even worse because of the infection issues. Wouldnt it make sense to cover the abdomen as well? How bad could a dangle pouch really be? Wouldnt the flexibility issues be nil since it can flex between the main plate and lower plate? I know that if I was shooting at someone who looked like they were well equipped, I would be aiming for their abdomen (or head if they were close range) not their center of mass, because I know damn well they probably are wearing plates. A center of mass shot wont kill them, it wont even take them out of the fight.

The green standard army, a heavy hitting infantry unit, used the zhan ma dao as it's primary weapon. A very large two handed single edged sword similar in many ways to the nodachi. The bei dao by comparison is the \"back sabre\" and is half the overall length of the zhan ma dao, but with the same blade to handle proportions. It's either really hard or incredibly expensive to buy a full size, traditionally made, zhan ma dao in the qing dynasty style, that is also sturdy and practical enough you can go chop some shit with it. So I settled on the bei dao. It's overall length is about the same as a normal chinese dao (single edged sabre). Albeit with a much longer handle.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shonen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young Japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favourite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one.

The selection phase is designed to put you into a state of weakness physically so as to make you question your motivation for wanting to stay, you have to be mentally strong to make it through, but they don't necessarily want you to fail.

The passage states the following\n>I’d say there were maybe thirty, maybe forty or fifty, zombies spread out all across this half mile stretch of freeway. The opening bombardment took out at least three-quarters of them.\nAn MLRS battery should have 6-8 M270 MLRS. Your M270 MLRS can carry 2 M39 ATACMS Block I missiles. Each M39 shits out 950 M74 APAM bomblets. Each M74 has a 15 meter kill radius. Assume a singular full strength M270 battery has deployed, and is firing at once. Let's do the math. 8 M270 x 2 M39 x 950 M74 APAMs = 15,200 M74s dropped on the field. Area is pi x radius squared. Area of a single M74 would be 706.5 meters squared. So total that's an area of 10,738,800 meters squared, or about 2,654 acres. The area of Yonkers itself is 12,970 acres. A single salvo from a single battery could kill any zombie in a fifth of the entire city. A battalion has 2 batteries, so lets double those numbers and say it could wipe 5,308 acres at once, or almost half the city at once. And the author said that would at most kill under 40 zombies.

What we do see is the artillery and MLRS fire becoming less effective against the increasingly-dense hordes before running out with a miles-long stream of zombies still coming.\nIf I'm rewriting it, I'm emphasizing that the military response at Yonkers is a clusterfuck of whatever military units were available in the immediate area. Supply lines are fucked due to the country being three months into the Great Panic, with manpower severely limited and the highways clogged with people trying to flee the cities. Some journo just leaked that the zombie vax is a placebo and the government wants a win right now.\nHave Yonkers be a half-cocked propaganda operation that suffers from a fatal dose of assumptions. The military assumes that rockets and artillery will be effective, which they aren't due to zombie biology. The command assumes that they'll be working with proper logistical support, which they won't because the supply lines are absolutely fucked. Everyone assumes the soldiers loaded down in MOPP gear will be perfect marksmen and kill every zombie with one shot, which they won't because MOPP gear reduces effectiveness and zombies are scary as fuck. I'd then finish it off by having all the shooting draw zombies in from other areas aside from Manhattan. Maybe make the battle last a day and night with the situation becoming more and more fucked as swarms are drawn in from Connecticut to the east. Have zombies cross the river from New Jersey to the west as well, since zombies have no issues crossing water.

Or semi-round nose/semi-wad cutters, some sort of hybrid design ... assuming the flat nose assists in the impact/energy distribution. Wonder what a small hollow point cavity in the tip would do?

Great stuff, OP."}, {"id": 37, "content": ">>35\n>plastic\nThat's an entire specialty to dive into. Teflon uses fluorine in the polymer, which gives it incredible toughness and heat resistance. Also, teflon basically doesn't react with almost anything. The \"slickness\" is just a by-product of these other properties. eflon is going to become more expensive & harder to find because it's recently been revealed that du Pont covered up major environmental contamination issues in its manufacture. If you find some cheap now, might be a good time to stock up if you think you'll be using it a lot.\n\nWhat is important is how incredibly tough it is, which probably is what allows it to spin and survive being fired at all. It will deform to engage rifling and form the most perfect seal imaginable. In guns without a cylinder gap, you will get the best efficiency imaginable, and the teflon cannot block or damage the barrel. Due to it's \"slickness\" factor.\n\nAlso, it is fairly dense for an organic polymer, which helps bump the weight up a bit. I'm even more curious now what the fragmentation looks like. When you shoot meat & bone targets, try to recover pieces. Teflon shouldn't vaporize, it has a huge tolerance for heat.\n\nOne reason I suggested Nylon 66 is that it has structural integrity and is fairly dense (maybe less than teflon?). Which may make it a possible substitute.\n\nHOWEVER, I didn't think of it in the original post, but the glass fiber filler that gives Nylon 66 its strength might also have negative effects on the barrel. Glass might abrade steel, even though contact is minimal. Or, in a gun environment, what little glass is in contact might just powder before it can do damage? Chrome & nitride barrels might be even more resistant. If this happens ... it should be minimal? Possibly not even a measurable effect, but it would take research.\n\nMaybe Kevlar is a possible alternate? It's also abrasive, but I'm not sure how much or how aggressive, or if it can abrade steel ... maybe just softer metals like copper."}, {"id": 38, "content": ">>36\nYou know what kind of polymer is it?

It is the densest polymer of those listed on the above chart, part of it screencap'd in picrel.\n\nAny experimentation will want to be the densest shit you can find that will also withstand the brutal physics of being fired out of a gun. It's possible that Teflon might be the only practical option available. At least to normal humans.\n\nI suggested Kevlar:\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevlar\n\nNot seeing it on that list, at least not on the dense end. Kevlar fibers mixed into a resin (epoxy) might offer enough added structure to allow some resins (once they set) to be fired without shattering and retain their mass until impact. Looks like a lot of room here for experimentation.\n\nIf you look into resins, the basic start is that they should not be too brittle or they'll shatter upon firing. They need to be \"rubbery\" enough to withstand being shot and retain their shape. Kevlar or some similar fiber (carbon fibers?) might give a resin enough of that flexibility/cohesion once it sets.\n\nIf I was casting resin bullets, I might consider placing a BB or lead pellet in the tip of the mold to increase weight and possibly increase penetration physics. Like a single-aught buckshot? BB or #1 shot? If the mold is designed correctly, a spherical pellet *should* center itself so the spin physics don't get completely out of whack. I'm also suggesting here that a slight increase in weight, like bumping to ~50 grains from ~30-ish, might be desirable.

Soldiers hold the streets, controllers send in droids to clear buildings. 2-4 droids per building (or more if the need arises). They could be remote controlled from US soil, so no threat of operators getting killed. They'd basically just be ground based drones.\n\nMOUT would get extremely complicated for Opfor. In a combat environment I'm assuming that these things would be covered in bullet-resistant materials. You'd need anti-material weapons in every Opfor element just to stand a chance of not getting killed by operators piloting drones like they're playing Arma. I could see Opfor covering buildings in materials that block signals but that's variable and could be successful (or fucked up) in many different ways.\n\nOnce logistics are solid you'll probably just have 4 droids attached to each unit; although realistically only 1-2 would probably be operational at any given time. Hell, if you run out of droids, your platoon or element might be pulled off the front to lower risk of soldiers getting killed.\n\nI don't see them replacing soldiers completely, much like how drones haven't replaced aircraft. Such robots would be heavy as fuck and might not even be usable in certain scenarios where they have to enter a building. Example, a bombed out multi-story building in Ukraine that isn't structurally sound. Cluster your droids to close and they fall through the floor and become rendered inoperable.

I have encountered several people on reddit talking about how awful it is and suggesting that sort of thing only happens to blacks, and always at the hands of whites.\n\n...trouble is, that sort of thing happens to whites all the time. Right before it happened to the black kid, it happened to Connor Mullins, a 13 year old white boy who was shot and killed for playing in an abandoned lot. The black lady who shot him fired across the fucking road (nice shot btw) so Mullins clearly wasn't a threat.\n\nThen it happened to a white girl about a week later. Her name is Kinsey White. She's six. She was playing with a ball in the street and it went into a neighbor's yard. She went to retrieve it and was shot through the cheek. Her father was shot in the back and killed when he tried to rescue her.\n\nMy point is: normies on reddit didn't even know these events had happened. They are ALREADY shielded from knowing about this stuff by the efficiency of human censors. AI censors will be even better.

It's enough of a security issue that major governments and institutions typically do not allow too many key people to fly on one plane at one time.\nSimultaneously, a very wide range of things can cause a plane to crash so in lieu of solid evidence showing exactly what manner of tampering occurred where any kind of malfunction is going to be assumed either as bad maintenance or even worse luck by default.\n\nOn the flipside, because this is such an obvious method of killing a target any time a plane with anybody that somebody would want to kill crashes or even experiences a serious malfunction an investigation gets launched. Foul play or terrorism is often one of the very first things investigated and ruled out. So while bringing the plane down may be effective, doing it in a reliable way is difficult to hide.\nThe other half of that is bringing the plane down in a reliable manner. There are all sorts of very minor mechanical or electrical bugs that CAN cause a plane to nosedive into the ground and turn into the world's largest 3d puzzle, but they don't always have that result. There have been many cases of pilots recovering from sudden and catastrophic failures, bringing the plane down either safely or at least in a somewhat controlled crash where not everyone is killed. They are trained extensively to do this, and are highly motivated to save not only themselves but the passengers that they feel responsible for."}, {"id": 15, "content": ">>7\nI saw an article yesterday gay boi aaron carter died by blacking out and falling into a bathtub lmao.

Handguns are generally prohibited in GB (but not NI, IOM, channel isles), apart from collectors and, depending on how strict the licencing force is, hunters etc using them for humane dispatch or vermin, semi auto and pump action centrefire rifles are prohibited (apart from in Jersey), all full auto stuff is prohibited apart from full auto handguns held by collectors, and aside from those everything is legal. However, as mentioned before, you have to prove a reason (shooting club membership etc) for everything apart from shotguns with a maximum capacity of 3 cartridges.

For example, most militaries stick to standard small arms which often consists of intermediate cartridges, while civillians will simply use any small arm and cartridge available to them.

This is particularly hard for state backed forces as they are usually in a foreign land if they are in conflict with civilian-backed forces.

So most US trucks could not be used in areas with such bridges.\n>The assumption was that the railroads in France would be 100% intact. In and by itself already ridiculous as the Allies themselves bombed them in advance of the Normandy Landings to prevent the Germans from moving troops and supplies. In reality, only 10% was available.\n>It was assumed all canals and rivers could be used. In reality, these were blocked on average every 10 kilometres in France and Belgium.\n>It was assumed most major ports would fall into Allied hands intact, in reality, if the Germans couldn’t hold a port, they would thoroughly destroy it.\n\nSo the lack of rail and riverine transport meant more trucks were needed which meant much more fuel would be needed. That meant tankers needed to be able to unload in French ports which was not possible as these were either still in German hands or destroyed.

At the end of the day it's only a tank. This war exemplified very patently that people who thought tanks were hot shit have basically just been drinking their own kool aid, and factually tanks as a whole fill a niche that doesn't actually exist.\n\nThere's no scenario in which tanks make a difference. They don't outrange anything other than RPGs. Their firepower is inferior to plain old field artillery. Their protection can't reliably save them from anything more substantial than a bullet, and even then it can be crippled by machinegun fire. They're huge and unwieldy and you can hear them coming from literally several miles away, and the same weapons used to destroy clumps of infantry can be used to destroy tanks.\n\nThere are niches for mobile artillery, for light IFVs, for ultralight MANPADs, for lightly armored medivacs, for completely unarmored trucks. But there is no nice that a heavily armored limited range mobile cannon fills. Tanktards will insist that it is, based on some textbook strategy bullshit that is as detached from reality as cringey corporate memes are detached from comedy. Tanks don't have a niche because its entire gimmick - heavy armor - is just that, a gimmick. It's readily bypassed even by hand-held weapons, as per their modern state.

It lets go of 360 degree protection for more rounds on the frontal arc, the interceptors themselves are non-articulated and predicated on turret orientation meaning you can still be hit frontally if your turret rotated too far to one side. It has no hard-kill capability against top attacks so it relies fully on soft-kill for those, I can't find sources on what the soft-kills are but I'm assuming IR smoke/chaff.

The ship was subsequently dry docked in Rosyth inspection and repair. It has emerged the coupling break was the result of vibration caused because the shaft was out of alignment, something that was known about long before the carrier first left the shipyard in 2019. Experts advised the shaft misalignment was “within acceptable tolerance levels” and should not be a problem. The ship was certified by Lloyds inspectors and steamed several thousand miles before the accumulated stress from the misalignment broke the coupling. There is an argument that reliance on the advice of a single expert when the shafts were known to have issues was taking too much of a risk and was the result of a rush to get the ship to sea for political reasons, precisely who bears responsibility is unclear.\n\nOn arrival in Rosyth, the port shaft was also inspected and showed similar signs of misalignment damage, requiring sections to be replaced. A new starboard propeller and shaft sections have been supplied by an overseas manufacturer. The initial plan was to complete the shaft repairs in Rosyth and then return to Portsmouth for a Capability Insertion Period (CIP) that includes aviation-related electronic upgrades. Since the shaft repairs have taken longer than expected, the CIP was started in Rosyth so as not to cause further delays. The CIP is now the greater part of the work and the remedial work on the shafts is likely to be completed ahead of the CIP.

Equipment is not “ripped out” in haste, rather it is very carefully removed and transported to the sister vessel.\n\nMany of the parts manufactured for the aircraft carriers (and indeed most naval vessels) are bespoke designs produced in very small numbers and it can be very expensive or impossible to obtain replacements at short notice. It is a prudent use of limited funds to remove the part from a ship that does not immediately need it and move it onto a frontline platform. The replacements will then be cheaper as the supplier has more time to manufacture them. In the case of some particularly expensive items such as parts for the Type 45 destroyers, new spares will not be purchased at all and they are cycled between ships of the same class as they move between operations and upkeep. This kind of STOROB is not a permanent long-term solution for the two aircraft carriers when it is planned to have periods when both ships will be operational and new spares will have to be purchased."}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>17\nIn the case of QNLZ, the two main items transferred from her sister ship were fuel coalescer filters and the chains used in the aircraft lifts. The filters are used to coalesce very fine water particles that may be present in the fuel into larger droplets than can then be removed more easily. The MT 30 Gas Turbines require fuel of extreme purity.\n\nHMS Prince of Wales will return to Portsmouth in the next few months for some final maintenance work and the RN is confident she will be ready to begin her programme in August. This will almost certainly include the Westlant23 deployment where she will cross the Atlantic and conduct the much-delayed final round of flying trials with US-based F-35 jets. The DT-3 programme will include more advanced testing of shipborne Rolling Vertical Landing (SRVL) which will allow the F-35B to land on the ship with unused weapons or heavy fuel loads.\n\nHMS Queen Elizabeth will sail in mid-May ahead of the CSG23 deployment in the summer.

It's not because it is a fun thing to do, but a way of life. Rifles are certainly very cool, but you should have a good reason to own one.\n\nThe purpose of a rifle is to kill, that's what it's made for. Shooting a deer humanely and killing it quickly in a single shot requires accuracy and skill, as well as knowledge. This provides meat to feed you and your family for a long time, just like nature provides deer for the wolf.\n\nIt's pretty simple when broken down into parts. You have the lower receiver, which is the most based part of the gun. It's consider a 100% legal firearm by the ATF, but an 80% receiver can be purchased for under a hundred bucks just like anything else as a non-FFL item. Wisconsin does not prohibit this, so you can build your own rifle without even registering or licensing the gun.\n\nThe lower receiver holds the trigger, magazine, and fire controls. The upper receiver cycles and fires the round into the barrel, which is surrounded by these barrel shrouds you see. The upper receiver can also be mounted with optics like scopes. Then there is the grip, self-explanatory, and the stock, which is the butt-end for resting on your shoulder.\n\nSo, you can buy a 80% receiver for pretty cheap and go from there, but a rifle is just a simple machine made of parts. Even if you buy it complete, it can be disassembled and reassembled. I would really consider learning proper gun safety for safely storing and operating a rifle before buying one.

The government didn't actually genocide the injuns, we did. And I mean \"we\" because not a drop of my blood got here after 1680 and my family actively participated in driving Indians out of Pennsylvania and Ohio and we are not sorry. We even chased them to Ohio and then came back to PA afterward, we didn't even want the land we just wanted to fight. When Ben Franklin was colonial governor he engaged an expedition to stop us from geocoding Indians, and failed. Then his town house near what is now State College burned down and several prominent men who accompanied him where killed or disappeared under curious circumstances. The Federal government tried to stop us from driving them out of Ohio and failed. The Indian Wars were prosecuted in part to keep the Indians away from whites permanently because conflict inevitably lead to whites enacting reprisals on the Indians which wiped them out. Ironically the Indian Wars preserved them from total extermination.\n\nWhat are you a freshman english major?

While the Spanish and Portuguese were Iberian. The way they conquered was different, deriving from differences in culture and natural predisposition. The Iberians interbreed with native populations while we did not, to their detriment given how their countries turned out.\n\nI mean my family is explicitly derived entirely from Englishmen exiled for stealing cattle on behalf of the King and Germans who burned down half the Cantons. So my inclination toward killing people and taking their shit is eminently natural.\n\nYou'll also see in the historical records that elites are always more accepting of ethnically foreign populations, probably because they see them as a potential source of revenue, and cooperate with alien elites. While those of only moderate affluence see land and children as the primary way to secure their interests and thus are more likely to be genocidal. It's all very logical of self interest is accounted for.\n\nWhich probably had influence on the Spanish and Portuguese campaigns because there were government supported campaigns conducted by those of relatively high status. Whereas those conducted in North America weren't government approved until almost the end of the conflict. And there even local elites had much more interest in acquiring land as a raw resource rather than a population to work it as that had never been their culture unlike the remnants of feudalism in Spain.

He was fleeing the crown who was trying to get him jailed for his massive debts along a bunch of poor fucks and literal convicts whom he promised a cut of the gold they found. Which is why indeed the Spanish army would at one point interrupt his campaign to try and jail him again, and why the soldiers he left behind were so ill disciplined they immediately chimped out as soon as their wrangler was out of sight.\nThe \"Conquistadors\" were litterally the weakest troops you could find on the Spanish payroll.

Disease was only one of many, many causes of death counted there, of which the largest was getting stabbed by a very angry spaniard.\nEstimates from everywhere else, and the Missionary hospitals were fastidious record takers, set the deathtoll at a bit less than 30% of those hospitalized, which were over two fifths of the population so lets put that at 50% and we get an upper limit of 15%, most scholars put it lower.

During trials, the gun was only tested against surface targets using the EO/IR sensor and the joystick.

The manufacturers went through massive layoffs and multiple rounds of consolidation at the same time. Most of the folks who knew how to properly manage a procurement program were let go, and most of those skillsets have never been properly replaced.\n*After ODS, DoD had no idea what to plan for next. There was a general assumption that it was \"the end of history\", and that threats would be limited to mostly minor powers (particularly, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, or \"some darn fool thing in the Balkans\", all of which were active threats in the '90s).\n*There wasn't a lot of perceived need for blue-water naval power, so the USN got asked a lot of pointed questions (including by Congress) of how exactly they planned to contribute to the small, land-based wars that were anticipated. With the final retirement of the Iowas, Congress mandated that the USN find a way to replace their shore bombardment capability. Tomcats were retired in favor of more Hornets; TLAMs became ubiquitous. Emphasis was placed on supporting expeditionary warfare (years before 9/11).\n*As a result of all of the above, Rumsfeld and his bean-counters came in and rolled the dice on using advanced new technologies in order to reduce costs (particularly, head-count, because people are *expensive*), so that the US could still somehow manage to maintain its commitments on an ever-shrinking budget.\n\nThe result is DDG-1000. LCS. FCS. Comanche and its replacement programs ARH and AAS all being cancelled due to budget cuts. Crusader being cancelled for FCS NLOS-C, which then got cancelled without replacement, leaving the US with aging M109s for another 20+ years.

Once you start cycling most people will eventually get to the point where they're using heavy doses and/or strong anabolics. It's difficult to not let the psychological aspect of wanting to get bigger/stronger lead you into taking more (or stronger stuff) and cycling constantly. With higher doses and stronger anabolics the side effects and health risks go up significantly. Further, if you reach the point of surpassing your natural genetic limit, it's very hard mentally to stop or reduce cycling due to shrinking down in size and strength. Therefore, many people who start taking steroids will be on it for years or even the rest of their lives, which obviously is terrible for your health longterm if you're using anything more than lower doses of test (which you probably will be).

The development has already been done for them and the soldiers are using roids of their own volition and on their own dime.

Gerasimov, Lev V. Oshanin and V. Ia. Zezenkova. Gerasimov reconstructed the likeness of Timur from his skull and found that his facial characteristics displayed \"typical Mongoloid features\", i.e. East Asian in modern terms.[140][141][142] An anthropologic study of Timur's cranium shows that he belonged predominately to the \"South Siberian Mongoloid type\".[143] At 5 feet 8 inches (173 centimeters), Timur was tall for his era. The examinations confirmed that Timur was lame and had a withered right arm due to his injuries.

He explained the highly gendered nature of statistics for global firearms related deaths and violence and the need for disaggregated data. In 2020, 76% of victims of violent deaths by firearms were men, mainly young men, where in some contexts they are the leading cause of death. Before possessing this type of disaggregated data, the broader picture may not have incorporated men as vulnerable when discussing SALW.\n>As well though, Mr. Watson highlighted that men are also the majority of perpetrators noting that “firearms-related violence is often directly related to male gender roles”.\n>He further explained how these gendered roles, bias and expectations, varying by location, context time and culture could drive violence in different ways and create lack of trust in authorities and law enforcement.\n>When organisations like NATO partner with other countries therefore, it’s important to address discrimination in the security sector and to highlight the importance of responding to the different security needs of women, men, girls, and boys in the population as part of building trust with the civilian population and maintaining a monopoly on the use of force"}, {"id": 7, "content": ">>3\nOuchies"}, {"id": 8, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>using the made up leftist political term assault weapon"}, {"id": 9, "content": ">>4\nStory time.

In reality, denazification was largely abandoned outside of top layer of German leadership by both the Western Allies and the Soviet Union fairly early on because it was found to be almost totally unworkable with rebuilding the German state. Hitler's autistic screeching about how the German people did not deserve to live because they had failed his vision probably did more to denazify the German people than any policy the Allies enacted ever did.\n\n2. The Ba'athist government of Iraq was legitimately responsible for gross crimes against humanity with a death toll ranging well into the hundreds of thousands (over a million if we count the Iran-Iraq War, of which Iraq had been the initiator of hostilities). Just because Iraq didn't tear itself apart under Saddam doesn't make him a good leader. He if anything laid much of the groundwork for Iraq's social collapse by pitting Sunnis and Shiites against each other and cultivating a political system that couldn't function without an autocrat.\n\nThat said, the fact that Iraq had been ruled by a Ba'athist government for nearly 30 years by the time of its overthrow should have been taken into account when it came to the question of De-Ba'athification.

With their entire air force as well as C&C destroyed, the enemy has been reduced to purely decentralized guerilla warfighters waging a hopeless asymmetrical campaign which is effectively impossible to stamp out with conventional military. The conventional military's job here is done... for now; there's no telling if they'll be needed back there to deal with a likely invasion by neighboring countries inspired by the power vacuum of both our withdrawal and Sadam's elimination.\n\nSo, now that we've realigned American military presence to a much smaller and concentrated footprint -- Kandahar plus three or four satellite airbases, each ringed with layered fortifications surrounded by miles of killzone closely watched and patrolled thoroughly -- with a new mission agenda shifted away from playing police to simply securing airheads in-country from which to provide close air support & logistics within the surrounding theater.\n\nNow comes the time for a *new* vision. This is where the fun begins...\n\nFirstly, know this: the continuous conflict between Iran & Iraq is largely doctrinal, as that -- pre-9/11/2001 -- Iraq was ruled by a Sunni minority, while Iran was taken over by hardcore Shiites when all that jazz with the Shah happened. Sunni & Shiite muslims are doctrinally opposed; if their Jihad against all infidel ever culminates in the total eradication or enslavement of all non-muslims, then the Sunni & Shia factions of Islam would fall upon one another like mortal enemies and savagely war until only one or the other remains, inshallah...\n\n...that is, of course, unless one arrives who was prophecied in scripture: the \"Madis\" or something suspiciously like \"Muad'Dib\" (Dune) -- which translates roughly to \"truthspeaker\" -- who shall speak such deep wisdom as to unite Sunni & Shiite!

I start this cult in Iraq (and parts of Iran and surrounding countries, lel Israel), clandestinely supported by the CIA, which \"organically\" wanders around the country with an ever-growing band of followers, this almost hippy movement, man, like Jesus Christ Superstar.\n\nSo, this on-demand prophet surreptitiously uses CIA mind control techniques (LSD, subharmonics, directed energy, subliminal holograms, you name it) in order to build a FUCKING CULT! Holy shit, you ain't NEVER seen a cult like THIS since back when early Christianity was going hard BLM-style!

You have zero humanity if you enjoy watching Moeshitter shows. For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shounen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favorite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one.

It was a more radical development of the same idea, except that it drastically sacrificed armour for speed. He believed that it could hit battleships from a distance while sailing fast enough that it wouldn't be hit, itself. It was a bad idea of course, and eventually they packed on armour so battlecruisers evolved into fast battleships.

If Pearl doesn't happen, the battle fleet is still intact from the start. No repairs, no lengthy transfers from the Atlantic needed. Kimmel, not Nimitz, is still in command of the Pacific fleet. The USN's institutional bias towards the battle fleet as the decisive arm of naval combat is not brutally and violently checked. Carriers are still considered raiders and scouts for the main fleet.\n\nThe only real question is, would the logistical reality of only being able to operate a few carrier fast task forces, or the battle line, push Kimmel into favoring carriers for their flexibility until more oilers become available? Also worth wondering, does the US carrier force and overall intact Pacific fleet cause the Japanese to advance more cautiously outside of their initial conquests? Do they no longer go for Wake Island, or New Britain, and instead build up forces in the Philippines and Marianas due to the threat of the Pacific fleet? A lot to mull over there.\n\n>>60\n>>63 is correct here, battlecruisers were just as expensive if not more so that actual battleships.

If Pearl Harbor doesn't happen, the wakeup call for the US that massed carrier air power can both be effectively coordinated against an enemy and be effective enough against battleships to supercede their role as the decisive arm of the fleet has to happen elsewhere. Also worth mentioning that aircraft development was improving by leaps and bounds at the end of the 1930s. What was top of the line in 1939 was obsolescent in 1941, and the most experience that flag officers had with carrier aircraft was the early-mid '30s biplanes. US carriers were still carrying biplanes (albeit newer models) for the final Fleet Problem in the Pacific prior to WWII.\n\nSaying the world recognized the importance of carriers is incredibly reductive and glosses over a lot of stuff. It's not as simple as airplane > battleship shell. For the Japanese, naval air power was heavily pushed because they couldn't build battleships at the rate the US or UK could, and even though the US hadn't built to its treaty limits pre-war the Japanese battle line was horribly outnumbered. So both carrier aircraft and land-based naval strike bombers were developed to close the gap, along with submarines, torpedoes, and night-fighting tactics. In Europe, a mix of weather and geography greatly reduced the efficacy of carriers, and as a result battleships remained incredibly important for control of the sea lanes as they were both more survivable in the face of land-based air power and could operate in all weather."}, {"id": 68, "content": ">>30\nNakadashi French BBs and BCs"}, {"id": 69, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nNot really a fan."}, {"id": 70, "content": ">>32\nSap are good, the biggest problem for me are the fuckhueg citadels.

The only actual ship added by the 1938 Act was Hornet, because the USN already possessed 15 battleships. The Iowas would have replaced older scrapped battleships.

I've worked in joint service environments and have interacted with every service extensively. What it really comes down to is quality of life, versus pride in your service imo.\nI've spent a ton of time on Air Force Bases, including being stationed on one, and they live way better than the other branches. When I was a private on an Air Force Base, I had my own room with a walk in closet. Hard to beat that kind of privacy. That being said, I personally could never be Air Force, just a point of personal pride for me. I think they're pussies, and having worked with them, the culture is way too whiny/ PC.\n\nNavy is a hard pass for me. Your living conditions are the worst, and the food is ass. Combined with extremely long hours, and a near medieval caste system, it's a recipe for misery.\nMarines are also a miss. You get the worst parts of the Army, combined with the worst parts of the Navy, with no real upside. Air Force I already covered. Coast Guard is actually a really good choice, but it's barely military. Higher quality of life than Air Force. Lastly, there's Army. The Army is so vast that your experience can vary with what you do. If you go combat arms it's probably going to suck, but intel affords you a lot of opportunities.\n\nGoing back to Air Force, I once \"deployed\" to an air base in the Middle East. The airmen there complained that it was the hardest deployment that the Air Force can get. They had better living conditions than most soldiers do stateside. 2 man rooms, a bar, a pool, better food than army DFACs stateside, parties, a movie theater, etc. Picrel was their showers.\n\nIf I could go back in time and do it all again, I'd still pick the Army.

For most of human history, the stories passed down for generations have largely been epics in the form of religious prose, poetry, or song. This is because people enjoy hearing a good story of heroes and warriors triumphing over evil, getting past obstacles and going on a long journey like the Odyssey or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From these old stories came derivations which birthed genres like comedy, tragedy, satire, romance etc. These ancient stories have persevered in the modern era and has given forth new stories in the anime industry. Shonen as a genre is as big as it is because it has the same themes that make it comparable to an ancient epic. Romance and comedy come after because they too share these characteristics. But with Moetrash, you don't get any of that historical tradition. You have a group of cute girls doing nothing for as many chapters as possible. They do normal life activities like school or hanging out but contextualized with terrible satirical writing from a 40 year old otaku mangaka who never had a social life and thus can only guess how a young Japanese girl would act. You as a reader are only observing boring and ordinary people and come away with no sense of awe or wonder. Really, you just consume a fictional character's life like a mindless normalfaggot browsing their favourite celebrity on IG. And while every reader has vicariously lived through the characters they enjoy, what does the moeshitter worship? A hero? A villain? A tragic character? No one. Just a retarded 14 year old chuuni girl written as a terrible overused trope.\nI will never watch a single episode of moeshit ever in my entire life.\n\nYou are literally, objectively, unironically, not human."}, {"id": 81, "content": "GOOD NEWS!

Soldiers at Carentan and other major artillery duels would setup multiple sets of foxholes and move between them so the enemy wouldn't know which ones they were occupying or where the line really, and they'd constantly move between them. This also gives you the benefit of add improvised traps to the holes, such as a grenade with the pin tied to a shoestring hooked upto a stick buried under some leaves, or putting caltrops or sharpened sticks or shrapnel from detonated casings dug out of tree's and from the ground, etc so when they hop in they get cut up or stuck up.

What exactly degrades in the plate?\nProvided the plate isnt using something like Zylon, and provided its stored in reasonable conditions, first thing liable to go is shitty glue.

When said punks gather in crowds, cops can and do plant agent provocateurs in their ranks to escalate confrontations so they have an alibi to make arrests, but anarchist-type groups also go looking for confrontations with cops, so it's like cats and dogs really.\n\nAnarchists also live in their own inner world and believe getting into it with cops will suddenly \"wake people up\" about the cops being meanies.

Once this cycle sets in, it's impossible to escape from it. It happens in left and right groups.\n\nAlso I think it's particularly common (to the extent that this is actually common) among people from a middle-class background.

I'll have to give it a better read, but from what I remember:\nDue to the moving mass not absorbing much of the actual recoil upon firing, and instead moving independently from the rest of the gun, a semi-auto gun's perceived recoil can be much higher than a bolt action *of the same weight*\nA 17lb BAR has half the felt recoil of a 9lb Springfield firing the same bullet. But a 17lb BAR with its bolt locked would have significantly less recoil than a standard BAR.\nBullet fires, gun hits shoulder, bolt unlocks and also hits shoulder.\nThe reasoning is weird, but most noticable with early pistols. You have to take the reciprocating mass out of the equation. A revolver will kick much less than a 1911 that weighs the same and shoots the same bullet. A semi-auto 9lb gun with a 4lb bolt will recoil like a 5lb gun. A bolt action of the same weight will recoil like a 9lb gun. If you've ever gotten the chance to fire a pistol with a slide-lock, it's ridiculous how little recoil it actually has.\nThis discounts the next 70 years of arms development though, new gas piston systems and springs and recoil mitigation tech means that a properly tuned system should have almost no recoil. And since Semi-Auto guns are almost always heavier than bolt actions even without the BCG, the recoil is reduced even further.\n>TL;DR: a light bolt action in .308 will have significantly more recoil than an AR-10.

But here we are. On /k/ of all places and nobody mentioned it yet. I saw this exact thread on tg and they got it in less than 10 replies.\n\nThe reason drop pods would be a core part of any hypothetical orbit to surface troop insertion is tømanyfold, but most importantlyfor the same main reason which prompted MIRV's development. Shooting down a Mach 15+ object is feasible only with missiles as it stands, which turn it into a simple numbers game. Can you outgun their gun? It would take a single missile to blow up 50 infantry troops on some kind of shuttle dropship, it would take 50 missiles to nail a dispersed swarm of drop pods. Even if they all impact within a minute their velocity would put them hundreds of meters apart in spacing. This figure can be skewed even further in the infantry's favor by deploy XX additional dumme drop pods that do not contain live soldiers.\nThe second advantage is speed. Big things slamming into lower altitude atmospheric densities might as well hit a brick wall if they move at 8k mph. They'll KABLOOWIE. A drop pod has better resistance and could more economically be produced as partly being composed of an outer single use shell of heat shielding material that sheds and ablate during reentry. Thirdly. Square cube law actually dictates that smaller objects are in fact straight up better and more efficient at using atmospheric resistance to aerobrake. So spreading a reentry load across several units is pretty smart if you aim for unpowered ballistic aerobreaking trajectories. Which you should. Any digital or remote system would be liable to be the target of enemy jamming and other e-warfare. Worst case they reveal which pods were dummies and which hold meat. Also, drop pods aren't as problematic g forces wise as some thing. Submerging in tissue-density breathable liquid inside the pop allow momentary 150-200g survival and continuous 30-45g.

And also amazing medicines, unique materials created by magic.\n\nThe magic of their world after crossing the Gate weakens sharply but does not completely fade away, in general, the law of squared distances works. The rule does not apply to monsters created by magic, the dead, ghosts.\nEach country received as a \"gift\", the Gate copes as best it can and tries to get the maximum benefit.\n\nThe second story, the Gate is created by an almost accidental coincidence of experiments on some unique high-energy machine and a similar magical experiment. The gates are small, require synchronous operation of both sides, high energy and mana costs. Gates are limited in weight and teleport size. At the same time, the Gates are secretly and monopolistically owned on the one hand by the guild of magicians who use technological artifacts to increase their power and wealth, and on the other hand by the corporation using the same unique materials of the magical world.\nHere the plots are very different, but one of the global ones - another catastrophe-invasion of monsters is approaching the magical world, and the corporation seeks to preserve its assets by providing assistance through these extremely limited Gates."}, {"id": 143, "content": ">>57\nsauce ?"}, {"id": 144, "content": ">>143\nRetarded animu series 10592"}, {"id": 145, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nGo watch Stargate"}, {"id": 146, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n>portal to the past opens and we stream tanks through to fuck up knights\nCool as shit\n>little girl with an oversized axe shows up and fights the tanks\nI fucking hate anime so much"}, {"id": 147, "content": ">>146\nReddit might be more your speed"}, {"id": 148, "content": ">>125\nWhat's the range on those spells? 30 feet?

The top pic is what it originally looked like. It's not all put together yet as I'm waiting on a pistol grip locking nut, because I forgot to take the bolt and nut off the PG when I sold my dong furniture set. The handguards haven't been mounted either because I'm getting the extended 4pc pinned and welded on Friday and with them on they wouldnt have a good area to clamp down in a vice besides on the handguards.I've got an Eotech XPS2-2 coming as well on a rear biased Master mount siderail. I'm fairly pleased with how it's shaping up. Aesthetically, wood is probably still my favorite, but being able to adjust the LOP with the AR style buffer tube(which is alien to me as I've only owned slavshit) is a nice quality of life upgrade as well as vertical grip placement.\n\nThe handguards are the barswarus Alpha-1 Zenitco B-30/B-31 clone. So far, they feel solid. There does look to be either some rough tooling marks in areas. Of what little info there is online about them currently, it seems like they may be cast aluminum instead of billet milled. They advertise it as 7075 aluminum. If anyone can determine if that gives any insight as to whether it's billet or cast, I'd be grateful for the insight. So what do you think /akg/?

A very insignificant difference on the scale of billions of years makes for a preposterously massive difference on the scale of our current technological progress.

Larger stars have shorter lifespans. We go with the \"a percent of a percent\" thing again for how quickly we get this planet with all the heavy elements of Earth (possibly even more of the heavier stuff thanks to the bigger supernovae even) from the beginning of the Universe, and now the aliens have almost a million year head start on us, and that's without any extra rate of progress once the planet has formed. hell, let's take the entire time from the Big Bang to our current level, but now we only speed things up by a percent of a percent of a percent.

That won't happen. Russia can try to hold current lines, but the 2014 lines are worthless for continuing the fight. Further, while holding indefinitely is unlikely given current projections, going back to 2014 lines is unlikely to change the defensive potential of the Russian forces.\n\nGiven current projections for Russian losses vs. Ukrainian losses and Russian production vs. Ukrainian production/donations, Russia's combat power compared to Ukraine is rapidly dwindling if it hasn't already swung in Ukraine's favor. Russia was losing 3-to-1 in OSINT located heavy equipment vs. Ukraine when they heavily outnumbered them, parity isn't going to improve their loss rates. Neither will defense. Ukraine has completed three major offensives since the war began and it hasn't dramatically changed the loss rate. If anything, new western equipment might actually make things WORSE for Russia. Russia will also eventually reach a point where their combat power will fall and Lanchester's law will come into effect. Russia will start taking more disproportionate losses due to the combat power differential, and even a turn to the defensive won't fix matters. This also ignores the fact that Crimea can be easily isolated and besieged (Kerch Bridge) if you fall back to Crimea. Russia has no way of countering this eventuality unless they come up with a wonder weapon of some kind or there is a sudden loss of support for Ukraine COMBINED with a dramatic equalization of equipment losses between them.

It's more about shot placement, capacity, and sinking multiple rounds into them. So with 9mm, recoil may as well be nonexistent, and you get a lot of capacity, and anything 147 grain and up is subsonic so its quiet. Use some good ammo and you'll be dropping even the most roided up violent, pcp ridden ape niggers in a self defense situation in 3 or 4 rounds. If you're good enough a simple headshot will suffice, which is doable with a good optic and training.

What gives a round its energy is mainly it's velocity then weight. Because pistol calibers are going so slow compared to rifle calibers, designers tried to improve the effectiveness by coming up with hollowpoints so they expand and crush more tissue as they pass through causing more bleeding/tissue damage. If you look at ballistic gel tests of pistol calibers they have a straight wound channel through the gel where as rifle calibers have huge wound tracks caused from massive rapid expansion due to hydrostatic shock effect. Basically the bullet is traveling so fast that tissue doesn't have time to get out of the way, so its blasted apart explosively.\n\nThis is why when you shoot a water jug or liquid, it literally explodes, where as with a pistol shooting it, it just makes a hole and water drains out.

Even assuming the idea that India will be able to deploy more men, it will need to cover it's border with Pakistan, deal with Naxalites and other internal insurgencies (including both Kashmir AND stuff like PREPAK) as well as insurgencies in its sphere of influence which can all be financed by China and have there heat turned up when its needed.\n\nBut the real fight will be in the Indian Ocean and around the Malacca strait. It's where either side could strike a devastating blow and where any lasting victory will matter barring India imploding. Assuming India is alone it will depend on how well India can defend the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which in itself depends on how well India can maintain a strategic balance between the army and navy that China and Pakistan can periodically knock off by starting shit.

The war will create an entire veteran class that nobody knows how to handle, since this is the bloodiest war since WWII for russia. Afghanistan and Chechnya produced little enough veterans to sweep them under the rug, but Ukraine alone has created so many that it would impossible to ignore them. My friends, who are mostly in IT, are afraid that they will lose their social status because they “neverserved” and some local drunks and deadbeats will be publicly praised for getting mobilized and sitting in a trench all day.

Korea basically was in middle ages, or most of the peasants in the 1940s were living in conditions equivalent to England in the 14th century. Also true for most of Russia in 1917. Communism is a modernist ideology that fits the logic of the industrial age though, but started sweeping over these backward countries a century ago, and where communists took power, the ideology soon adapted to the environment.\n\nSo the contradictory thing about Stalinism is that its modern and industrial part symbolizes a victory over that feudal backwardness and both the USSR and North Korea developed industrial economies, while also representing the victory of that feudal backwardness over socialism with the enormous God-Emperor figure much like an emperor in the Middle Ages who was seen as appointed by divine providence. But these places had basically no pre-existing tradition of democracy as you or I would understand it. That's how people were used to relating to leaders. Also this kept going in North Korea because it was basically cut off from the rest of the world. Russia is still shaped by this history but you can't imagine a cult of Putin on the level of Stalin or Kim.\n\nI think the Kim cult has its origins in that. This is a Stalin birthday song composed by Prokofiev, the illustration is a socialist realist painting with a painting of Stalin within the painting as a God-like figure in the sky over a peasant village. The lyrics are like \"He hears all! He sees all!\"\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Net9YgT7qMM [Embed]\n\nAlso on the modern / industrial part of it, the intros to North Korean propaganda videos can look like the title text for Star Trek: TNG.\n\nhttps://youtu.be/ZLI4NuNd6qE [Embed]\n\nAnd there's a bunch of production happening. And this all seems crazy. Totally bugnuts.

Additionally, it is challenging to provide an exact inflation-adjusted cost as it would require detailed information on the specific time period, model, and other factors. However, I can provide you with approximate estimates for the unit costs of each aircraft in 2021 USD, based on available information:\n\nF-15 Eagle: The F-15's unit cost varies depending on the specific variant. The F-15EX, the latest version, was estimated to cost around $87.7 million per aircraft in 2021.\n\nF-16 Fighting Falcon: The unit cost for an F-16 Block 70/72, one of the latest versions, was approximately $64.3 million in 2021.\n\nF/A-18 Super Hornet: The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet's unit cost was about $70.5 million in 2021.\n\nA-10 Thunderbolt II: The A-10's unit cost is harder to estimate in 2021, as it has not been in production since the 1980s. However, if we were to adjust for inflation, the unit cost would be roughly $20 million per aircraft.\n\nF-22 Raptor: The F-22's production was discontinued in 2011, with a unit cost estimated to be around $150 million. Adjusted for inflation, this would be approximately $173 million in 2021.\n\nF-35 Lightning II: The unit cost for an F-35 varies depending on the specific variant (A, B, or C). In 2021, the approximate unit costs were as follows:\n\nF-35A: $77.9 million\nF-35B: $101.3 million\nF-35C: $94.4 million\nThese figures should be taken as rough estimates and may not reflect the exact inflation-adjusted costs for each aircraft in 2021."}, {"id": 14, "content": ">>13\nI wonder what the F-22 would have ended up costing per unit if they kept the original order numbers."}, {"id": 15, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nSpreysisters"}, {"id": 16, "content": ">>10\na-10s once adjusted for inflation and upgrade packages are tens of millions lmao"}, {"id": 17, "content": ">>1 (OP)\n\nHALF PRICE OF A J-20 CHINKSHIT, and twice as good\n\nLearn globalization, chinkshits"}, {"id": 18, "content": ">>2\nWe're buying them."}, {"id": 19, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nAbsolutely ridiculous, RIP everyone else's aircraft industry."}, {"id": 20, "content": ">>unknown\n\nfucking ridiculous, even Finland has bought them and they are very hardnosed about performance\n\ncontinue to believe MIC lies about their equipment and then proceeded to get wrecked by American tech in the next war\n\n- Himars has longer range than reported and has unknown features like rocket gradient adjustment\n\n-Javelin can defeat every countermeasure on tanks and is so reliable and spot on design its a 1 for 1 kill\n\n-M777 has much closer CEP than reported even without guided munitions\n\nand these are 30 year old tech\n\nEat shit chinkshit. go back to masturbating about copies"}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>unknown\n>slow\nWhy do you need to be fast when you outrange any enemy missiles\n>limited capacity\nYeah but you hit more and can’t get hit\n>can’t turn\nWhy would it need to, it outranges anything it’s fighting except SAMs and you aren’t out turning a modern SAM\n>no drop tanks\nMid air refueling drones\n>can’t fly high\nAgain, why.\nI guess the SR-71 sucked ass because it couldn’t dogfight and had terrible bomb capacity and no tail gun.

It makes guns rights activists look disingenuous or uniformed. While this is true based on how the data is reported, over 42% of gun murders don't have any weapon type reported. Assuming none of those are rifles is baseless. We should assume that rifles are as represented as they are in the murders that do have a type. Also, PCCs end up in \"Other Guns,\" being the most common type there (shotguns have their own category).\n\nThat makes rifles and pistol caliber carbines more like 8-9% of homicides, which is still low.\n\nThe problem is that this missed what reformers and voter have cared about, which is spree killings. Most murders are domestics or gang bangers and people don't see themselves or kids being involved in that segment. A classroom of children getting killed is more salient. Also, with domestics, people rightly assume many of the murders might occur anyhow with other weapons.\n\nWhat IS a good argument is that crime is way, way down over the past thirty years, even with the pandemic bump. This isn't true everywhere, but it is true most places. Which begs the question \"why do we need new laws when crime has plunged in places that haven't done new gun control or even made it easier to get weapons?\"\n\nVermont, Idaho, and New Hampshire have the lowest murder rates and aren't particularly strict on firearms.

Many existent hunter gatherers have homicide rates such that 1 in 5 to even 1 in 3 males who make it to adulthood die due to homicide.\n\nOxford, a university town filled with clergymen, had a homicide rate higher than the worst Latin American shit holes today at 110 per 100,000 people. https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/23/us/historical-study-of-homicide-and-cities-surprises-the-experts.html#:~:text=A%20study%20of%20the%20university,per%20100%2C000%20people%20per%20year.\n\nEngland as a whole averaged a homicide rate higher than Baltimore's worse year for the entire 1500s.\n\nHumans in a state of nature appear to have had a homicide rate of a whopping 2,000 per 100,000, higher if infanticide is included. This is 40 times higher than high crime US cities or Latin American states today.\n\nhttps://www.nature.com/articles/nature19758\n\nWars likewise have become less deadly. While WWI is seen as having crippled France for a generation, but it killed far fewer people than the Huguenot Wars, which occured when the population of France was far smaller. Scaled up to the WWI population, the wars would have killed 11-12 million.\n\nLikewise, if one scales the Thirty Years War's death till to the WWI and WWII populations of Germany respectively, it killed 2.5 times more people than both World Wars combined. The Thirty Years War also killed a larger share of all of Europe's population than the Second World War by a substantial margin.\n\nBoth homicide and war deaths have been declining, albeit in a chaotic way. Good governance and peace appears to be a strange attractor for our chaotic systems.\n\nIn essence, Hegel was right about everything and we should embrace his political philosophy.

Got my Ruger during the COVID panic for about $675. I find the SP101 2.25\" barrel to fit very well in just about any pocket. The real issue is the weight of the SP101. While the weight helps with recoil absorption and melee (eg glass breaking), the sturdier, heavier construction of the SP101 can be annoying to heave around. This revolver has a steel frame, unlike many similar sized revolvers with aluminum frames. So, the SP101 can handle the hottest 357 loads easily (or whatever other load it's chambered in). Unfortunately, the SP101 only has 5 shots in 357.\n\n>SP101 vs competitors\nI think the main gun people compare to the SP101 is the Kimber K6. The consensus is that the K6 is better than the SP101 overall, except it's less reliable and has more kick. The main advantages of the K6 is that you get the extra shot with that 6 shot 357 cylinder. Also the Kimber weighs less. Meanwhile, the SP101 has a couple advantages. Compared to the Kimber K6, the Ruger SP101 cylinder is lower-profile for when stealth is a priority. The SP101 also has a much sturdier construction, a variety of barrels to choose from, and a superior safety. The Ruger is about $200 cheaper than the Kimber, and parts for the Ruger are easier to obtain.

You can see it mirrored somewhat in the M16, if not as bad in most ways, and far easier to fix.\n\nThe INSAS is designed to cost more money to make than it'd need to, and then it gets the everloving fuck fleeced out of it during manufacturing, so there you have fucking industrialized corner cutting."}, {"id": 13, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nWhen are the Brits choosing a replacement?"}, {"id": 14, "content": ">>13\nProbably not soon, fucking up the SA80 program costed them a retarded amount of money (I think the total development cost skyrocketed up to over £350 000 000 000, again, should have just stuck with the original engineers), so they want to get as much worth out of the things as they can, especially when the L85A2 actually works like it should.\nTo move away from the SA80 now, it would have to be either some very significant advancement in small arms technology, or they'd have be vastly increasing the size of their army to the point that they need to procure far more guns than they currently have.

The old optic is the SUSAT, which is a 4x illuminated one with backup irons on top, and it was actually good for what it was back in the day, particularly in durability, but therein lies one of the drawbacks because it's very overbuilt, adding about 1lbs to a rifle which already is heavy, so in the past decade they've been slowly replacing those with nicer and lighter ELCANs and ACOGs, which they put a little backup red dot on top of. The MOD said something about keeping the thing going to 2025, but realistically it's probably gonna stay in active service at least until the 2030s.\n\nIt's still chunky for 5.56mm, has awkward controls, and lefties better learn shooting it right handed, but unlike an L85A1, where if I had to depend on one in a life and death situation, I'd be praying I only need a couple of shots, while if I had to depend on an L85A3, I'd be perfectly confident in the thing performing."}, {"id": 15, "content": ">>12\nHakim, despite being a fairly solid rifle, was a horrible design for its time since it entered production in the 50s when the big 3 battle rifles and the AK were starting too.

Remember that the reason Saddam was so overconfident in invading Iran was because he thought the public would turn fast against the Ayatollahs given they had everything going wrong for them, only for the Ayatollahs to politically turn it around after Khorramshahr. Russia has yet to get to that point, but when it does, whether Russia collapses or successfully doubles down will be something we have to witness for ourselves.

The facade that individual soldiers lives are important, I think individual lives are important because fellow soldiers make it so- not because the DoD decided so. Not even because the president, institutions or the education system or church decided so. Without your battle brothers valuing your life in combat, it has no value. You're incredibly lucky if someone far above you truly values your life, in some cases it is true and in more cases than not it is true compared to the Russians and especially the Chinese or North Koreans.\n\nFor example I would say that the entirety of desert storm is evidence that Schwarzkopf valued every last coalition soldiers life, down to the smallest and least valuable person there. When you have more friendly fire incidents than enemy inflicted casualties or kills, you essentially did too well. Your men were too good, your men were too on the ball. And yes we had more friendly fire incidents but ultimately it was within reasonable expectations for the operation- it certainly wasn't come silly number that would indicate incompetence.\n\nAn infinitesimally small number of coalition soldiers lost their lives to the enemy in desert storm. Anyway, I digress- the is changing. We'll likely never have a guy like that that high up again. It's more ossified and more corrupt now than ever before. If we truly valued the lives of our soldiers we would make different decisions in the acquisition of equipment and that is a fact. It's not perfect but it is probably the best in the world. I would still argue that based on what I've seen the overarching institutions do not create that feeling of being valued and being cared for as an individual, it is the man sitting beside you who would run directly into enemy gunfire to come get you- because you are brothers."}, {"id": 21, "content": ">>20\nThis entire post is garbage, amazing."}, {"id": 22, "content": ">>12\n> shithole countries\nEnough internet for you for today, go to bed please"}, {"id": 23, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nwhat russian footage have we seen of this conflict that hasn't been taken from a ukranian drone?"}, {"id": 24, "content": ">>21\nZumwalt Class Destroyer with no missiles (because somehow we built something that not even more money than god could finance)\nNew IHPS helmets (that have fatal backface deformation)\nHigh speed low drag (doctrinal compensation for below)\nLack of focus on developing more advanced personal protective equipment for soldiers\nForcing the F-35\nAbsolutely destroying the bodies of soldiers before they ever even enter combat\nRucking 100-150 lbs of poorly prioritized and designed gear\nFielding armored vehicles which cannot stand up to man portable anti tank weapons, relying solely on your MBT\n\nI could go on but these are the big ones off the top of my head, need I continue?

In our society, in our culture, our soldiers are not thought of as disposable meat bags. Human lives are generally thought to have some intrinsic value at an individual level. That is not the case in Russia. And in fairness it is not always respected here to the degree I think most agree that it should be. But we have some consensus as a society that there should indeed be a respect upheld. In Vietnam our young men were dying and being maimed and we felt outrage. Sure it hampered the war effort, but the idea of mobilizing a draft and taking young men in their prime and throwing them into the jungles of southeast asia for a hazy objective sparked outrage. In Russia, their young men are being torn from Counter-Strike and DOTA lobbys and their mother's homes and being sent to die pointlessly in Ukraine. And there is no mass outrage on their behalf.\n\nAnother example. You have already mentioned insurance payouts. But in the US military if I am wounded, if at all possible I will be casevac'd and will recieve the best medical care they can give me. If I am killed, more than likely my body will be recovered, sometimes at great risk. All because of the value we place on our people. The russians just leave their dead to rot or be buried by the enemy (although their poor military performance is partially to blame for this). Our VA falls short but we have one and there is work being done (too slowly imo) to try and fix the system and give better long term care.\n\nWe have a fundamental difference in our sense of humanity.

We are currently still forming our first 500 years of history and cultural bedrock.

Fucking Karate Kid is hispanic and everybody wants to be him.\n\nThe 2000s still has a niche for it that isn't castrated with culture of numetal, jackass kinda antics, early internet culture or that kind of 'creative spark' in shit like Mythbusters and flash artists and so on that survives to about 2012-2014. Important to note because decades as a cultural expression do not start and end neatly on the dot, they tend to bleed over such that the '90s' really ended with 9-11 and the 2000s to me end not with the recession. More 2012-2014 being the start of the activist-decade. And in that decade what the fuck is there to lean into? Hipsters? Self-flagellation and self-loathing? Neo-Nazi frog worshippers? Wow, great fucking choices. Obviously there's more than that, obviously jocks or techie shit still exists but we're naturally influenced by the culture around us.\n\nAnd then there's the based stuff vets posting here about how shoddy the GWOT was for experiencing it. Unless you did some skill-building POG shit that lets you make good money afterwards it was trash.\n\n>>32\nThe level of officer malfeasance and corruption going on is really kind of concerning me.

By comparison a friend I had years later said (In sacramento) her family had to do on hotdogs kinda diet with her dad doing some local government job or some such.

So as a result, war broke out in the 60s in all of Portugal's mainland African colonies. Both the U.S and Soviets supported factions fighting the Portuguese. However, the Portuguese totally kicked the ass of the rebels in Angola and Mozambique by the late 1960s, only leaving Guinea-Bissau left, which quickly turned into a Vietnam-esque war for Portugal that was extremely costly in lives and materiel. Eventually, the soldiers that fought in Guinea-Bissau got tired of the regime and the war and decided to overthrow the government back home, which they did in 1974. All while Portugal had zero international support apart from Rhodesia, South Africa, and a couple obscure countries.

The Democrats also split into northern and southern parties which helped make this possible.\n\nThere's also an argument that halting slavery's expansion would doom the enterprise anyways due to a sorta economic logic that happens where you can't really grow our own domestic economy anymore with slavery, and thus have to expand so you can convert states like South Carolina into exporting slaves to new slave states in the west... basically turning the more built-up states into slave-breeding factories... yeah.

The personnel of the Polish embassy in Beijing denied the Chinese request of entering the premises of the embassy to scare away the sparrows who were hiding there and as a result the embassy was surrounded by people with drums.

Engagements would proceed as any other air engagement nowadays: detection would occur either by shipborne radar, or by smaller dedicated detection systems displaced around, the latter allowing non-LoS detection. In case of kinetic weapons, the only chance of survival of the defender would be active countermeasures as it's likely that no ship would carry enough delta-v to outmaneuver a missile; in case of energy weapons, like lasers or EM radiation the only defence would be a shielding with a surface that would reflect or scatter the vast majority of the incoming radiation, and a significantly oversized thermal management system. Assuming that the attacker had the capability to collimate the beam on the target (range is a factor), then probably sacrificial ablative shielding would be the best solution.

So unless your boarding vessels have the same mass as the missiles, any competent point defense system will differentiate between 2 separate threats.

That's the point.\n\nAlso, what makes you think that CIWS fire is perfect and can never be penetrated?

We can see great distances right now with our current equipment, but the speed at which we receive that information is in fact limited and it must take time to be developed and worked with before we can get any simple and reasonable conclusions out of said imagery. Of course this process would be sped up and materialize much faster if we were to the point where we were conducting true space warfare.\n\nThe next limiting factor would be how fast you can get your projectile to travel, and how effective you are at predicting your enemy vessels position in space. I'm assuming that the limiting distances would be quite grand, but how do you really know where your enemy is going to be without first making some kind of guess based on their current trajectory?\n\nThat trajectory can change depending on how long it takes that ship to adjust its course, how agile it is, how it is designed, etc. Sounds like it'd be a guessing game at best without self correcting munitions that have their own sensory equipment on board to see the enemy vessel, even hundreds of thousands if not millions of miles away.\n\nBut the issue with that is that if your projectile can course correct, it's going to be easier to spot. If it can't course correct and it is a dumb projectile, think giant rods made of heavy metals and it can be sped up to such a speed that it will outpace the enemy vessel, then I would bet that it would have an easier time getting through.\n\nMaybe super massive volleys of telephone pole sized tungsten rods sped up to % speeds of the speed of light?

Just really heavy fucking rods being used in a massive volley to make sure that regardless of if the enemy ship changes course or does anything to try to evade the attack it will be hit by something. The distance is so great, and the enemy could go in so many different directions that you'd really have to fire a retardedly large volley in order to score a hit no matter what.\n\nDesigning a destroyer that could launch that many projectiles at that speed, it would have to be absolutely humongous and have a tremendous engine, power plant for the projectiles, etc.\nOtherwise, perfect defensive systems would just stop regular missile attacks, no matter how big they are.

If you just throw softballs they get shot down. But your boarding pods either have the option of: 1. being a simple target to hit for the CIWS. or 2. turning the boarding teams into mush by pulling Gs. Those options are both shitty.

With certain designs for ship engines and enough fuel we could get close to the speed of light, but we may never actually want to go that fast.\n\nTo speed a human up close to light speed would require tremendous amounts of fuel, as it is right now. It would have to be some kind of nuclear engine or nuclear fusion engine or something wacky like that. Or anti-matter or something but that's more theoretical at the moment, I don't think they have figured out a way to produce stable and usable anti matter. Research is needed to study the possible gravitational effects between matter and antimatter, However research is difficult considering when the two meet they annihilate, along with the current difficulties of capturing and containing antimatter.\n\nWhat makes the most sense with today technology is nuclear thermal propulsion, that you'd activate after the ship has left earth. With nuclear thermal propulsion you could, given enough time, reach speeds that are considerable % of the speed of light. The main danger to human beings inside is of course cosmic radiation and having to accelerate or decelerate too quickly. That's what will get you killed, with our technology, once you get going you cant stop too easily- otherwise you're fucked.\n\nSo course correction would be difficult for space combat, to say the least, especially if you were trying to get anywhere in any meaningful amount of time.

Until you've got deathstar lasers the size of moons or casaba howitzers that can shoot projectiles at 30%c a light second is more than enough, and even in those scenarios a light minute would suffice for direct combat engagement.\n\nSo overall I'd say being able to track anything within ONE AU or ~500 light seconds would be more than enough tactically, and even strategically into the far future assuming we're not talking about FTL. And this doesn't have to be a single ship either, a network of satellites could easily keep track of eachother on that scale and even wrap around planets and moons to avoid any blindspots.

Furthermore, statements by Soviet soldiers and DRA officials (\"We don't need the people, we need the land!\"; \"if only 1 million people were left in the country, they would be more than enough to start a new society\") and the actual effect of Soviet military actions suggest that depopulation of rural, predominantly Pashtun areas was carried out deliberately in order to deprive the mujahideen of support: 97% of all refugees were from rural areas; Pashtuns decreased from 39% to 22% of the population.

The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi (29.3 mi; 47.2 km) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.\n\nIsrael apologized for the attack, saying that the USS Liberty had been attacked in error after being mistaken for an Egyptian ship. Both the Israeli and U.S. governments conducted inquiries and issued reports that concluded the attack was a mistake due to Israeli confusion about the ship's identity.[6] Others, including survivors of the attack, have rejected these conclusions and maintain that the attack was deliberate.\n\nIn May 1968, the Israeli government paid US$3.32 million (equivalent to US$25.9 million in 2021) to the U.S. government in compensation for the families of the 34 men killed in the attack. In March 1969, Israel paid a further $3.57 million ($26.4 million in 2021) to the men who had been wounded. In December 1980, it agreed to pay $6 million ($19.7 million in 2021) as the final settlement for material damage to Liberty itself plus 13 years of interest.\n\n>Just pay em off!\n\n>That'll fix it!\n\n>Don't forget to account for interest, like a loan, but blood!"}, {"id": 170, "content": ">>166\nSir, there are no carriers in that picture, merely a destroyer and cruiser."}, {"id": 171, "content": ">>169\n\nLet's run a quick calculation.\n\nHow much is the life of 1 (one) American life according to the godless zionists?\n\nLet's account for inflation as well.\n\n$25.9 million / 34 American soldiers\n\n$761,764 per American life\n\nAs long as they have enough in the bank, they can kill as many American as they want!\n\nThat's our zionist occupied federal government."}, {"id": 172, "content": "Interesting design for a destroyer.\nI'm no naval expert but maybe the Japanese should have used some of that deck space for VLS?

My biggest issue is that in the scenarios they tested, there was no shot timer nor a failure condition for the participants. The only thing tested was accuracy, and considering surviving a real shooting is dependent on speed and accuracy, we're missing a really important piece. Yes, the red dot showed much greater accuracy, but without the speed component, we can't be sure if that greater accuracy came at the expense of spending a significantly longer time lining up the shot/finding the dot.\n\nAs for the failure condition I mentioned, I mean that there is no stated way in the which the person defending themselves could fail the scenarios. On pages 42 and 43, Scenarios A through D are described, and high attention to detail is given to how the \"threats\" should act, such as advancing toward the student with a melee weapon, or pointing their simunition gun at the student. However, there is no way for the defending student to \"lose\" the scenario, which, in combination with lack of recorded times, could possibly mean that the \"threats\" would just continuously advance or stand there while the student lines up their shot. We don't know the details, but there doesn't seem to be a stated need for urgency from the students.\nLastly, and this is just my opinion, the holes in the data are at risk of seeming deliberate when you learn that Mr. Cowan teaches handgun optic classes, and thus is in a position to profit from more people buying red dots."}, {"id": 35, "content": ">>34\nAh, so you're just wilfully retarded."}, {"id": 36, "content": ">>32\nGeorge Soros funded this study"}, {"id": 37, "content": ">>34\nProof in optic superiority is a lot simpler than looking at a paper or some bullshit.

The problem there is that even 17th century navies need a lot of admin to keep them running, and the men doing the admin would never be deployed so could not be paid under those rules. So the navy just gave their admin offices and other shore establishments warship names and listed their admin staff as deployed on these fictional ships so they could actually get paid, and nobody asked any questions until the government realised that it actually had to pay its servicemen on a regular basis even if they weren't actively fighting. It's continued until today, with most Royal Navy shore facilities still being given HMS names\n>HMS Excellent - training base at Portsmouth\n>HMS Gannet - naval airbase at Prestwick\n>HMS Caledonia - naval docks in Fife\n>HMS Jufair - Overseas naval base in Bahrain\n\nI don't know if you'd consider them warships, but simply going by the armaments carried and complete immobility they'd have to be the weakest if they qualify.

That's five different armed groups running around and each would be decked out differently (and the dumb ones, distinctly).\n\nIn fact, I'd imagine the dumb ones (we all know who that group is) would seek to stand out as much as possible; red armbands, berets, red-star pins, bandannas, and distinctly soviet-bloc armaments.

I'd also look into reading up on the Balkan wars; lots of people went to war in plainclothes with whatever gear they could scrounge. Referring back to the previous example of the PNW; everyone in this region everyday dresses like they're about to go camping so, you'd see a lot of carhartt, fjallraven, weatherhead, etc.\n\nYou'd also have trends that gradually rise and fall.

Maybe some fall back on stuff like M81, maybe desert regions out west decide a dedicated desert pattern will work better for them than trying to appeal to the retarded universal camo meme.\nLeave the justification as just that: that universal camo is a stupid concept because nothing is going to work everywhere. The jack of all trades is a master of none, and if these guys are going to be fighting in primarily one environment then they don't need something that's just meh for where they are, they need something that's great for where they are. Further, most of the universal camo thing is also to ease up on the logistics of a world-spanning military force, easier when you have only one real uniform to distribute around.\nAnyway, play around with that idea.

But I think one theme would be an echo of the first civil war with the theme of centralization vs. decentralization. Not an exact repeat but a repeat at a higher or more developed level. With the political right being for decentralization, but that also being a mask for minority rule, like in the 2020 election where Trump and some of his allies were trying to get electors in Republican-controlled legislatures in states that voted for Biden to abrogate the results. A civil war did not happen because there wasn't a split between elites, big business, the military. It's not because people are just \"angry\" or \"people are in the streets\" or whatever, even if that's a precondition. In Sudan, you see an elite-level split between those two generals who control actual armies with organization.\n\nFor that to occur, I think it'd take a significantly harder and stronger left than what actually exists. The elites are fine with Biden if the alternative is Trump starting a civil war. I just don't think he has the allies. But if Bernie had won?

The main function of a longer barrel on a hunting or sporting shotgun is the longer sight radius and changing the balance which affects how the gun swings. There is a velocity increase but it is minor. Also, velocity increases with shotguns are seriously into the area of diminishing returns. Spherical shot and most slugs have abysmal aerodynamics, and remember that air resistance goes up by the square of velocity. Consider a pretty standard 1 1/4oz @ 1200fps hunting load. You could load that to 1600 fps pretty easily even in a short barrel.

It was an all in hail mary to destroy the Western Allies on the beaches and it failed utterly, nearly wiping out 2/3rds of Germany's AFVs in the retreat and destroying some of the best German divisions. When Bagration started, the best, most well equipped, and heavily mechanized formations were busy retreating across France or regrouping in Belgium. As such, the remaining German formations in Army Group Center, which had the most formations and mobile reserves pillaged to go West, was all but annihilated as the Soviets completely overran the flanks.

Now many of these divisions were quickly rebuilt in the following months. Sure. But that was because the fragments of the formations that did survive were mostly from command and rear echelon forces, and while it did allow for quick reorganization with fresh conscripts, these divisions were never even half as good as they had been prior to Normandy. While they did retain highly skilled organizational staff, they suffered near annihilation of any frontline infantry. So the divisions were rebuilt with what amounted to untested conscripts with barely any cadre and not nearly enough training time besides.\n\nAnd this is all to say, those deep armoured thrusts the Russians pulled off were in large part thanks to the destruction of Germany's mobile forces in Normandy, and the severe beating German industry and logistics Germany had been forced to deal with thanks to the air campaign. About 50% of all of Germany's guns were turned upwards at the sky, had the German's not had to dedicate so much of their industry to protecting their industry, those Soviet spearheads, which were already close run things where armored units suffered 90%+ tank losses in some divisions to force breakthroughs may well have ended in 100% losses and outright failure to breakthrough.

The “Bakhmut meat grinder” continues for both sides, but the enemy has solved his tasks, but our side has not. 2) Near Avdiivka, our troops failed and now - due to heavy losses - they are forced to retreat again, leaving part of their previously occupied positions. In Marinka, on the whole, without changes, the bloody street “push-pull” continued throughout April with varying success. On the other fronts, local battles were fought and artillery and air strikes were exchanged. The general conclusion is that the enemy again managed to carry out the April battles successfully for himself (as part of gaining time in the strategic defense). In May, the summer campaign and the “go after the Ukrainians” will begin, since our generals were unable to do almost anything during the winter and spring, except for the disposal of the shock corps in the Donbass."}, {"id": 92, "content": ">>87\nMost people can't into math."}, {"id": 93, "content": ">>91\ntl;dr"}, {"id": 94, "content": "The beat part of this is Russia gains literally nothing from taking the city outside of Ukranian troops dying in the process\n>holds no strategic value\n>no industry or resources to control\n>doesnt even work as a good buffer zone"}, {"id": 95, "content": ">>unknown\nYet\nIf russia actually got the means and resources i guarantee you they're gonna do it, and it's going be way worse.

Alright, I'll try to at least explain the most important parts. Ultimately, body armor is about leaving the warrior combat capable after suffering gunfire or shrapnel hits. Survival is actually secondary, but a damned close second. There's no one size fits all theory when it comes to body armor, but there are general truths. You see, everyone fights differently. Ask anyone who's been downrange, each guy you work with is great at XYZ but can suck at DR&K. And every other variety possible or occasionally impossible. Mission and situation can drastically affect what is the best body armor for the moment. Remember, there's no such thing as bulletproof, but there is combat effective. Ultimately the best answer is not to get fucking hit. But if you are hits, the best answer now is to keep fighting. More than anything, body armor gives a psychological edged. \"I can survive and keep fighting if hit, so aim true and kill that sonofabitch.\" So you aim well, move aggressively and hit them before they hit you. It's definitely an advantage. You may go without armor if dedicated and confident you are fast and focused enough. Like that nigger that took out all those cops with a battle rifle in Dallas they finally ended with C-4 and a bomb drone. Watch the videos of that shit to understand true high speed low drag. Armor can definitely keep you not just alive but in the fight, it can give you an edge. It can also slow you down or trap you. Armor doesn't help if you face flames or tight snag prone spaces. Slippery inclines can also turn armor against you. Look, you're not a fucking tank. Try not to get hit, hit thd other guy first. Wear enough armor to help but not so much it fucks you. How much armor that is depends on you, your abilities, strengths, fighting style and the situation. Hope this helps."}, {"id": 89, "content": ">>80\nThe Oxide vid was just showing the helmet is not LVL 3A let alone 4 because no one is making helmets to be LVL3A but as special threat such as shrapnel and 7.62 from 300 yards away.

Bosniaks benefited from Croatian assistance by several orders of magnitude more than they suffered from the short Croat-Bosniak conflict, militarily, politically, and even humanitarianly, as hundreds of thousands of refugees from war in Bosnia were sheltered in Croatia during the war.

There is no legal or moral grounds for what the nationalist elements of the Croat people in Bosnia are pushing in Bosnia (as well as the neighborhing state of Croatia depending on its government). I was surprised when I read about the recent law change implanted by the OHR, its my personal and professional opinion that the US risks losing a key ally and friendly regime in the region because of Croat autism and screeching and their German Cathcuck helpers. There is no other word to describe what has been implemented but apartheid. It was a mistake to allow the OHR to be appointed by the European Council, and a mistake that will bite US foreign policy in the ass. We should've never allowed the Germans or any European to influence the political happenings in Bosnia as they have at numerous times shown their lack of objectivity and impartiality. The state department of the US should've been the sole supranational authority in Bosnia. We can blame Clintons foreign policy for this mess. Croats to a lesser extent and Serbs to a greater extent have breached the Dayton peace agreement numerous times and there have been no repercussions. They have politically done everything in bad faith in regards to constructing a functional and prosperous state in Bosnia. What amazed me the most in Bosnia is the amount of self sabotage Croats and Serbs are willing to commit, to make their lives poor and unbarebale just to spite some fictitious islamist central government.

That is because when concealing, any hard edge can stick out under clothes. A larger grip sticks out more thus increasing surface area that it could print. Thickness doesn't matter as much, but it does determine how much your profile bulges out especially at the hip where you have to account for the holster too. The thickness will increase the amount of depth there is to the hard edge making it potentially print harder.\n\nThis goes out the window with a revolver. You get a massive profile bulge from the cylinder. This is such an irregular shape it's hard to not see it causing potential issues. It might be mitigated by having it at belt line, while above seems like it won't work well. Also the grip is centered around that so instead of being able to press the grip flat against you, you will be digging the cylinder in you long before that happens.\n\nThis is all before we consider the disadvantages of a revolver. Being limited to 5 or 6 shots and when you need to reload it's slower (and harder to conceal more ammo). Sure shot placement is king but when your adrenaline is pumping it's sure better to get more chances to hit something vital. Even when you hit something vital they might not go down right away like that Brazilian bank security guard who hit the guy in the neck."}, {"id": 151, "content": "Was looking for a smaller gun for summer carry.

Got married a few months before Covid, she lived in Canada for a while and got very sick of the nanny state government overreach. Once the plan by the Canadian govt to implement vax restrictions on flying were announced we knew we had to leave so I gave notice at my job(sadly as I really liked working there and they liked me), didn’t renew our lease & rented two shipping containers to send most of our things down to the US where we bought a house.\n\nOverall I like it down here even though I can see some of the shortcomings of the US(seed oils in everything, fractional reserve banking, terrible federal government, poor urban & suburban design, nepotism in government, Epstein not actually dying in prison, ect) but there are a lot good things about the US, most of the people are polite, Gun culture is strong, the natural landmass is beautiful, the history is fascinating, it is more affordable than Canada, there is more earning potential, the death penalty exists in this state, as does constitutional carry.\n\nThe only things I miss about Canada are my friends and family, crown land shooting, the physical geography, the history & some of the music that Canada has spawned.

Even the ones that aren't overtly unpopular are still divisive among people who aren't in either camp: Covid measures + guns.\n\n2. United Left: The UCP won things last time by uniting the right under one party, but the net effect has been that the Liberal and Alberta parties are now virtually dead. Which means very little vote siphoning from the NDP now too.\n\n3. Danielle Smith: Keeps making an asshole of herself. Possible illegal interference to get vaccine tickets quashed, CBC lawsuit threat (which she never went through with), \"the phone call\", fuck ups/redrafting the Alberta Sovereignty Act, mistakes about her legal authority as premier, bad photo ops, etc.. When you've been Premier for such a short time and there are a dozen or more \"scandals\", it isn't good.\n\n4.

It suggests possible independence or separation from Canada which is not especially popular. Alberta separation sentiment has growth significantly, but outside Smith/Take Back Alberta/A few Yahoos there isn't a ton of support. The vast majority of Albertans are pro-Canada even if they get often get mad at Ottawa. This is especially true among non-UCP voters who are more pro-Ottawa than the average UCP voter. It plays to their base, not the guys on the fence.\n\n2. As much as Albertans dislike Ottawa, they often trust the Provincial government even less. Any act that gives more power to the provincial government over Ottawa will be distrusted, ESPECIALLY when lead by an unpopular premier like Smith. It might have gone over better with a different premier without all the baggage.\n\n3. It was initially VERY poorly written and looked like a naked, unconstitutional, power grab to allow orders-in-council outside of provincial jurisdiction.\n\n4. It was completely unnecessary. Any Act that is \"unconstitutional, violate Albertans’ charter rights or that affect or interfere with our provincial constitutional rights.\" could be voided/challenged anyway. Also, the next government could void the law or ignore it. So why pass it to begin with? Makes Take Back Alberta happy, but they're voting UCP anyway.\n\n5. After Covid + new gun laws, it looked like an anti-Covid / anti-gun law measure which, again, is divisive among people who aren't UCP voters and who still might dislike Ottawa.\n\n6. It might be illegal. Kenny called the first draft a \"full-frontal attack on the rule of law\"\n\n7.

Here's my short summary of Alberta/Smith:\n\n1971-2008 :Cons were in complete control. Liberals fucked over Alberta and their name became mud, the word Liberal evokes anger.\n\n2008-2015: Wildrose Party starts up around 2008. Even with weak leadership, Cons won 72/83 seats. By 2009 though, people were getting mad because of the economy. Smith took over the Wildrose and they started polling well. 2012 election happens and Wildrose faceplants. Cons win 61/83 seats. Cons are a disaster, Con leader, Redford steps down and gets replaced by Prentice in 2014. 4 by-elections happen, Cons win all 4. As a result, Smith's leadership is harshly criticized, MPs defect to Cons, resolution in WIldrose passes against equal rights for gays and minorities, \"lake of fire\" speech, etc.. Wildrose is a hot mess, Smith turns her coat and defects to Cons.\n\n2015 Election: Smith can't even get a nomination to run as a Con candidate because of her bullshit. A few things happen. New Wildrose leader, Brian Jean, was not a crazy moron like Smith, the Liberal support completely collapsed, voters were mad at the Cons, and the NDP ran a strong campaign. As a result, 40% of the vote went NDP, but because of vote splitting the NDP ended up with 54/87 seats.\n\n2017: Jason Kenny, manages to convince the Wildrose and Conservatives to merge. 2019 election happens and it works. That said, NDP still get 33% of the vote. By 2022, Kenny resigns because and Smith wins the leadership ballot going into 2023 election. As a result, the NDP is now polling ahead of Cons/Smith.\n\nSmith is an incompetent loser who is going to lose an election to the bucking NDP in the most right-wing province in Canada because: She's unlikeable, her policies are unpopular, her main supporters are nutty, and she's got more baggage than the Toronto Airport.

Russia can’t outnumber NATO because the US alone has more manpower than the entire Pact, nor can they afford to produce tons of good shit. But what they can do is produce a ton of cheap shit to supplement the good shit so when war breaks out the T-80s get replaced by T-72s which get replaced by T-62s which get replaced by T-55s.

This is essential in modern protracted ground warfare with no air superiority especially, anywhere with trench warfare and static defensive lines.\n\nClass IV plates have come along nicely and wearing front, back, side and dick plates makes perfect sense. Kevlar shoulder pauldron's and encompassing thigh pads make perfect sense because you do want to protect those areas as well from shrapnel. There isn't much point to protect under the shoulders or thighs though, because tourniquets can quickly and easily be applied to these areas regardless of what happens to them.\n\nThere is a point to protecting the neck, at least from shrapnel- but I think the most important thing moving forward is a full faceplate designed to deflect enemy small arms fire coming from 12 o-clock at least.

Here's my short summary of Alberta/Smith:\n\n1971-2008 :Cons were in complete control. Liberals fucked over Alberta and their name became mud, the word Liberal evokes anger.\n\n2008-2015: Wildrose Party starts up around 2008. Even with weak leadership, Cons won 72/83 seats. By 2009 though, people were getting mad because of the economy. Smith took over the Wildrose and they started polling well. 2012 election happens and Wildrose faceplants. Cons win 61/83 seats. Cons are a disaster, Con leader, Redford steps down and gets replaced by Prentice in 2014. 4 by-elections happen, Cons win all 4. As a result, Smith's leadership is harshly criticized, MPs defect to Cons, resolution in WIldrose passes against equal rights for gays and minorities, \"lake of fire\" speech, etc.. Wildrose is a hot mess, Smith turns her coat and defects to Cons.\n\n2015 Election: Smith can't even get a nomination to run as a Con candidate because of her bullshit. A few things happen. New Wildrose leader, Brian Jean, was not a crazy moron like Smith, the Liberal support completely collapsed, voters were mad at the Cons, and the NDP ran a strong campaign. As a result, 40% of the vote went NDP, but because of vote splitting the NDP ended up with 54/87 seats.\n\n2017: Jason Kenny, manages to convince the Wildrose and Conservatives to merge. 2019 election happens and it works. That said, NDP still get 33% of the vote. By 2022, Kenny resigns because and Smith wins the leadership ballot going into 2023 election. As a result, the NDP is now polling ahead of Cons/Smith.\n\nSmith is an incompetent loser who is going to lose an election to the bucking NDP in the most right-wing province in Canada because: She's unlikeable, her policies are unpopular, her main supporters are nutty, and she's got more baggage than the Toronto Airport.

Its main decay product is helium-3, which is among the nuclides with the largest cross-section for neutron capture. Therefore, periodically the weapon must have its helium waste flushed out and its tritium supply recharged. This is because any helium-3 in the weapon's tritium supply would act as a poison during the weapon's detonation, absorbing neutrons meant to collide with the nuclei of its fission fuel.\n\nTritium is relatively expensive to produce because each triton - the tritium nucleus - produced requires production of at least one free neutron which is used to bombard a feedstock material (lithium-6, deuterium, or helium-3). Actually, because of losses and inefficiencies, the number of free neutrons needed is closer to two for each triton produced (and tritium begins decaying immediately, so there are losses during collection, storage, and transport from the production facility to the weapons in the field.) The production of free neutrons demands the operation of either a breeder reactor or a particle accelerator (with a spallation target) dedicated to the tritium production facility."}, {"id": 104, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nsomewhere between zero and none"}, {"id": 105, "content": ">>73\nDo you have proof that isn't from MSM?"}, {"id": 106, "content": ">>26\n>How can a giant tube of solid fuel go bad or be stolen\nHaha.

The idea that Russia maintains 33% weapons on 1.8% of the budget is laughable. All their launch vehicles are now past retirement and they made a vulnerable liquid fueled rocket to replace them. This bespeaks serious problems with brain drain and lack of technical knowledge.\n\nI wouldn't say they have none, but they likely have a much more limited amount in usable vehicles than they do on paper. This doesn't really matter when anything more than 20 is a huge risk to the US's limited interception capabilities between the dedicated interceptors in Alaska and Aegis and just one can do so much damage. It's only relevant to the idea that an attack might be effectively thwarted by counter force attacks, and this still required that their C&C is so degraded that a launch order is given but its execution is so slow that very few weapons are launched before counter force destroys the arsenal.

Instead I'm gonna just talk about the zum-chan. The Zumwalt is a really awesome ship but got fucked hard in a lot of ways. One of the biggest ones is the dual-band radar. The current gimped SPY-3 X-band has to compromise hard in a lot of areas. IIRC it can't do CWI which isn't great for older missiles (but can be circumvented by just giving it all active missiles). It relies solely on VLS cells too, which means no canister NSM or Harpoons so it will have to carry the modified Block IV tomahawks or the newer Block V MSTs. That said the PVLS is a cool concept, but less so in ship survivability and more so in the fact that they are actually bigger than the Mk. 41 and can potentially except newer missile designs with bigger boosters and such. The guns have been discussed to death, the hypersonic payload modules is a great idea however so IMO the gun issue will be solved.\n\nThey COULD integrate a SPY-6 on the zum and together with the SPY-3 X-band they would outclass Flight III burkes pretty easy in terms of sensors. The issue is that zums don't use Aegis so the cost of trying to integrate all that horseshit together on a production line of three ships is likely why you'll never see it. In a perfect world, Flight III burkes and the DDGX would replace the Ticonderoga's and Flight I and II burkes and they would make a Flight II Zumwalt to specialize in very long range land attack and surface warfare. Flight II zums would keep the hull form, benefit from lessons learned on the previous 3 with design tweaks/modifications etc, integrate Aegis this time and SPY-6 with the existing SPY-3 or upcoming FXR."}], [{"id": 1, "content": "so a shirt is a weapon?"}, {"id": 2, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nMan I can’t keep up with these Soundcloud rappers these days"}, {"id": 3, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nEveryone in this webm needs to go and learn Spanish"}, {"id": 4, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nJail Jitsu"}, {"id": 5, "content": "Man, watching that mutt getting knee'd in the face was satisfying.\nYou just know he's a prick from the ghetto getup."}], [{"id": 1, "content": ">Ukie drone drops grenade on vatnik hiding underwater\n\nwhat the fuck?

The machines only check for grain depth on the cartridge as far as loading go and you might see 5 rounds tested every bucket to see if they’re within 20 grains of the desired charge. Then there’s how far the bullet is being seated and those have loose tolerances as well in most cases.

If they ask about your work experience, say the pandemic had you out of work for a while (the sooner you do this the better, this will probably wear thin at some point) and maybe bullshit about having worked some odd jobs for people here and there like mowing grass or pressure washing driveways. If need be, recruit a friend or cousin or something to be your point of contact for said bullshitting and tell them to say good things about you.

Working on weekends and having your off days being sometime during the week is also great, because night shift and weekends are the two things normalfags hate doing. For me, it was great. Nobody does anything on weekends so your shift is a breeze. New people seemingly don't get put on the stricter sites, so you might be able to bring a laptop or something to work with you, or at least a phone. If you were on a stricter site, you'd be limited to non-electronic forms of entertainment like books or whatnot.\nAs for after that, do what you're told by your on-site supervisors and don't question them too much, there's a handbook but shit changes day-to-day. Don't fraternize with your coworkers too much, by which I mean DO NOT try hitting on any females. You can make friends, just don't push it further unless one of you leaves that site, then it's fair game. Be polite to clients, don't fraternize too much with them either.

If you go for an armed cert, you're probably required to carry what you're issued, and you'll probably be on a site that's actually dangerous enough to warrant having that gun. On top of that, you have to do a yearly training session to prove that you're competent enough with a gun, but they'll schedule those training days for you when it comes up.\nIf you go for the unarmed cert (easier) you won't be allowed to carry on duty, but you'll be in a safe place where it's unlikely you'll need to have one anyway. Your job will likely consist of either unlocking the doors when the building's getting ready to open or buzzing trucks in for their deliveries. You also only need refresher training every 2 years rather than annually.\nIf you are concerned about being unarmed, you can have other kinds of weapons on you as long as it's fairly ambiguous. I have a pocket knife on me, and it's considered a tool rather than a weapon. You can also get away with carrying a maglight. I also keep my gun in my car anyways, mostly because any real danger I'd have to face would be during my commute at some point (like when I stop to buy coffee) rather than the site with locked doors.\nIf you feel you need to be armed more than anything, go ahead and apply to be an armed guard, but they probably will demand a bit more of you, and it would probably help if you were an unarmed guard for a little while anyway to prove yourself to them first. If you're unbothered and think being in a locked building where nothing ever happens where you can dick around on a laptop all night is good enough, then go unarmed.

Nothing ever happened, nothing dangerous anyhow. A pipe burst on an upper floor once and nearly flooded the building, but I caught that and shut it off at the main. CEO's fancy meeting room was fucked for a while though. Other than that stuff, it was good for me. On weekends I didn't even need to unlock the doors because they were closed on those days. Weekdays were busier, unlocking the doors and people coming in for a couple hours, got on my nerves man.\nMy assignment now is at a manufacturing plant. Mostly I let trucks in, they call me on the keypad out there and I push a button to let them in after they ID themselves. Sometimes I need to let people in, not always. I only work a little on Saturdays now, and it's only marginally less busy than the weekdays, but none of them really are anyway.\nIf I only had a GF I'd be fine with life, honestly.

A bear in springtime is thin and weak, they would likely be stopped with a few rounds of 5.56 or at least scared off.

Russia cannot do this because they lack mechanized units, and foot infantry can be immediately addressed by the Ukrainians if they start pushing on the flanks of the city. You can just shell the city and hope the enemy runs out of men before you run out of shells. Prigozhin wants to do this, but diverting that many resources to one area can leave the whole front ripe for a counterattack. It also isn’t ideal because the main goal of the defender is to delay.

We might as well give the Japs a good fight if we’re going to destroy the vehicles.” “Where is your platoon leader? Go ask them. I cannot make this decision.” I replied. I wanted them to go with us, but the two drivers became impatient and said “We will take responsibility. We’re leaving.” I then said hastily “Alright. Choose your weapons, and enough ammo.

[According to the soldier’s story, their] company commander already retreated from the front lines, so they had no leader. [Thus], they took it upon themselves to hide in a destroyed vehicle. They did so until 4PM, when the Japs came. Seeing the Japanese forces approach, they came out of the tank and threw grenades at the Japanese soldiers. The survivor recounted hearing his friend shout “Motherfuckers! I will trade my life for 10 of yours!” while throwing grenades. They then quickly scavenged the Japanese soldiers for their guns and held their positions for many hours. Around dusk, the two soldiers exhausted all their ammunition and decided to escape. One of the soldiers, unfortunately, died during the escape and the other soldier escaped successfully and told his story to me.\nAfter I heard his story, I simply congratulated him. I was still doubting the authenticity of his story. However on November 15th, 1939, during the battle of Kunlun Pass, we wiped out an entire Japanese company headed by Zhongcun Zheng Xiong. While looting the defeated company, we found a Japanese war log. Inside the war logs, it accounted the details of the Battle of Nanjing. While I was reading the logs, I stumbled upon a detailed accounting of an ambush of Japanese troops by two Chinese soldiers hiding in a destroyed AFV. This was the time when I realized that these two soldiers were truly heroes of China [and that the survivor’s story was true]. I set out to look for the surviving soldier who told me the story.

It's big. Huge. Largely undeveloped. A nomadic people can grow pretty large out there, but survival requires learning horsemanship and archery (e.g., \"While you studied the plow, I studied the bow\"). So, you end up with a large manpower pool of men who are good with horses, archery, and more often than not archery from horseback.\n\nThe problem is, mass horse archers don't work well off the steppe--logistically. Each Mongol had something like a dozen horses on campaign. Once you get off the steppe, finding enough grazing for them becomes difficult, and the farther west you go, the worse it gets.\n\nFoot archers also have an advantage over horse archers: you can pack them in a lot more densely, which means that each Mongol could be facing several archers. Of course, the Mongol could always run away, but if the objective is to take the land the foot archers are holding...\n\nAnd, finally, because of its geography, western Europe was castle-happy. Horse archers don't do well against fortifications. The Mongols were able to take *some* fortified cities thanks to siege experts they picked up as mercenaries or slaves, but besieging castles in rough terrain that couldn't provide sufficient grazing for millions of horses was very challenging for them.\n\nRecommended reading: The Art of War in the Western World, by Archer Jones."}, {"id": 44, "content": ">>31\n>euoros\n>3 times less muzzle powe, 1.5 times less muzzle velocity\n>ejustven\nChink bugman detected, micropenis opinion discarded"}, {"id": 45, "content": ">>38\nSays the guy who never made it west of Hungary LMAO.\n\nAlso\n>using compound bows in europena climates\n\nLMAO, have fun with your bow literally falling apart within a couple weeks."}, {"id": 46, "content": ">>45\n>using compound bows in europena climates\nYeah, like the Romans, ancient Greeks, Russians, Hungarians,... basically everyone but the inbred islanders, really.\nSelfbows are easy and quick to make just requiring non-shit wood.

Mongols would eventually just stay and adopt the culture of the people they conquered instead of the other way around.

Russian authorities have recently taken steps to increase Russian domestic air defense capabilities, including within Moscow itself, and it is therefore extremely unlikely that two drones could have penetrated multiple layers of air defense and detonated or been shot down just over the heart of the Kremlin in a way that provided spectacular imagery caught nicely on camera.\n...The Kremlin’s immediate, coherent, and coordinated response to the incident suggests that the attack was internally prepared in such a way that its intended political effects outweigh its embarrassment.\n...If the drone attack had not been internally staged it would have been a surprise event. It is very likely that the official Russian response would initially have been much more disorganized as Russian officials scrambled to generate a coherent narrative and offset the rhetorical implications of a clear informational embarrassment. The Kremlin has notably failed to generate a timely and coherent informational response to other military humiliations not of its own making, including the falls of Balakliya and Kherson City in September and November 2022\"\n\nI don't know about that...

I am confident that within 12 months we will be able to increase our production capacity to 1 million rounds of ammunition per year for Ukraine.

This would make for both fixed lines of contact that are hard to get out of stalemate, but then also spontaneous breakthroughs that are a disaster for one side.\n\nArtillery would be allowed to support units to hold or advance from several spaces away, or they can cut enemy batteries support with counter battery fire. MLRS would just have more range.\n\nI had it center around making it take more than X hexes to connect your units to the nearest supply depot. Unsupplied units slowly lose effectiveness, and due to the simultaneous orders making it so that a lot revolved around supporting a stalemate line to hold, encirclements become every bit as bad as real life.\n\nI never found time to program it though. I even had rules where a defender could have a % chance to hold if dislodged, but only at the cost of severe losses that made the unit significantly less effective the next turn, guns could be spiked instead of captured, MANPADs let infantry cover a few hexes from air assaults unless their defense was cut by an attack or artillery barrage, or instead of those you could have mortars, which let an infantry unit support an advance two hexes away, etc."}, {"id": 26, "content": ">>25\nGet to work anon."}, {"id": 27, "content": ">>25\nProperly supporting a surprise amphibious landing in Diplomacy feels great.

This would force teams to coordinate in putting their orders in, which is often hard to do even just by yourself. Many a Diplomacy game has been lost through botched orders that let an army through a stalemate line. This would make the difficulties of executing a battle plan when many people have to understand it more realistic.\n\nYou could even have a mission commander who then had to get good at delegating to his team since he doesn't have time to write the orders for every unit effectively.

They rely on the super cheap rail and insterstates but the hubs the of the rail networks would be badly mauled since they do reside near large cities and are likely designated targets.

After that, at most there's one or another random target in US or europe that gets nuked by a lucky surviving missile and it's the end of it. US might not even need nukes for this as their conventional strikes were designed for this role as well and are very vast.

Obviously a high brick wall topped with roller spikes and hedged with barberry is going to be much harder for some random nigger to climb but it also means that if they do make it into your yard then they're free to take their time prying at the doors/windows without worrying that they'll be spotted. Another downside is that you'll be delaying the entry of police/fire bridge/EMS in an emergency.\nI went with a wall despite these trade-offs because I liked the idea of stopping police at the property boundary if they fuck up the address on a warrant or some shit. Also, in the event of a serious disaster I like people not being able to see my house or into my yard from outside the property.\nIf you don't go full brick wall/spikes/autism then I'd at least put up a white picket fence or something to delineate your property from the street. If someone wants to case your property then they have to jump your fence and obviously be where they're not supposed to be. Just make sure the fence is open enough that anyone in your yard is exposed. The worst thing to do is put up a fence or shrubbery that's too low to prevent anyone jumping over it but dense enough that once they're inside it provides concealment from your neighbors.\nIf you do go with a higher wall/fence consider placing cctv somewhere that overlooks the fence - if somebody breaks into your house you'll want to get their license plate.\n\n>Defensive gardening\nLook up thorny plants appropriate to your biome and consider planting them along the fence line or under windows.

Beyond that you'd be better served putting your effort toward managing risk from house fires, natural disasters or civil unrest, and there's a limit to how much you can prepare for those sort of things unless you're building from scratch. There's no sense investing a wild amount of money in home security if your house is built from sticks and fiberboard or if it's in a location where there are even odds it'll be wiped off the map by a hurricane within 20 years.\n\nShatterproof security film and hurricane shutters are probably the first thing you should do regarding natural disaster prep. Then assess the risk of water entry in the event of flooding. There might be some relatively simple renovations or landscaping you can do to provide at least some protection there.\nSolar panels are worth it if you've got the money.

I really dreaded my own rifle, although I had been accustomed to heavy charges of powder, and severe recoil for some years. None of my men could fire it, and it was looked upon with a species of awe, and it was named \"Jenna-El-Mootfah\" (Child of a Cannon) by the Arabs, which being far too long a name for practice, I christened it the \"Baby;\" and the scream of this \"Baby\" loaded with a half-pound shell was always fatal. It was far too severe, and I very seldom fired it, but it is a curious fact, that I never fired a shot with that rifle without bagging: the entire practice, during several years, was confined to about twenty shots.

When you reach a point where you have to be close and aren't inflicting big wounds (some of these calibers have bounced off people's skulls at close range without pen, a famous serial killer took one round of .22 to the head without pen before the second one got him, Dean Croll).

Ukraine's drones are ever harder to find and they can be launched from a wider variety of locations, doesn't have to be airbases for some models.

While it was never produced in large numbers, it was designed to compete with contemporary American, British, and French tanks. Here is a brief comparison of the Osorio with some of these tanks:\n\n- M1 Abrams (USA): The M1 Abrams is considered one of the best main battle tanks in the world. It has a powerful 120mm gun, advanced armor, and a highly effective fire control system. Compared to the Osorio, the Abrams has superior protection and firepower.\n\n- Challenger 2 (UK): The Challenger 2 is another highly regarded main battle tank. It has a 120mm gun, advanced armor, and an excellent fire control system. The Challenger 2 is generally considered to be more heavily armored than the Osorio and has better protection against modern anti-tank weapons.\n\n- Leclerc (France): The Leclerc is a modern main battle tank that entered service in the 1990s. It has a 120mm gun, advanced armor, and a highly sophisticated fire control system. Compared to the Osorio, the Leclerc is considered to have superior mobility and advanced electronics.\n\nOverall, while the Osorio was a well-designed tank with some advanced features, it was not considered to be on the same level as contemporary American, British, and French tanks in terms of protection, firepower, and advanced technology. However, it is important to note that the Osorio was never produced in large numbers or tested in combat, so its true capabilities are difficult to gauge."}, {"id": 43, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nNo"}, {"id": 44, "content": ">>12\nYou're a faggot, but not because of the reason you specified."}, {"id": 45, "content": ">>41\nwrong thread anon"}, {"id": 46, "content": ">>45\nalso, no they didnt"}, {"id": 47, "content": ">>46\nhttps://www.aereo.jor.br/2023/05/04/chegam-ao-brasil-de-navio-mais-dois-cacas-saab-f-39e-gripen/\n\nKys"}, {"id": 48, "content": ">>13\n>one of the most advantageous geograpgies in the world"}, {"id": 49, "content": ">>25\nBurgers have a short memory.

This is a very hard and waxy substance, not a stand alone inhibitor (only a chemical within a formulation).

Maybe these are company level, IDK, cost is an issue and interception will get expensive.\n\nNew smart shells and internetworked battle spaced mean you can use these to get munitions on target very quickly. EFP shells also offer the ability to hit armored vehicles with relatively less firepower, and it allows you to hit moving targets much easier due to the terminal phase being very high velocity. Newer munitions can even target weak points somewhat reliably.\n\nI also like the idea of mortar or field gun launched recon drones.

Many people post their entire spec sheet to the public, technically it is against ITAR to do this but I haven't heard of anyone getting busted by the feds for doing it but some forums/website (arfcom) will get rid of the picture to adhere to ITAR.\nMy L3 spec sheet is exactly like that reddit post where not everything has a value in the min or max and instead it has \"---\".\nIf you want to find out more of what values these can have there is the Omni classification for military contracts for NVDs, they will list minimums and maximums but there are many Omni classification and the current contract is VIII but XI is out there but last I checked there is no official release of this classification values to the public yet.

However, there are a few possible scenarios:\n\n1. The nuclear weapons could be taken over by a successor state or a newly formed state. Depending on the stability and governance of these states, the nuclear weapons could either be safely secured and maintained, or they could fall into the hands of extremist groups or rogue states.\n\n2. The nuclear weapons could be dismantled or destroyed. This would require a coordinated effort by the international community and would involve significant logistical and political challenges.\n\n3. The nuclear weapons could be left unsecured and potentially become a danger to the region and the world. This is the most concerning scenario, as unsecured nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of non-state actors, terrorist groups, or other rogue actors.\n\nIt is important to note that the likelihood of any of these scenarios occurring is highly uncertain, and it is impossible to predict with certainty what would happen to Russia's nuclear weapons in the event of a collapse or fragmentation. However, it is clear that any disruption to the secure storage and control of nuclear weapons poses a serious threat to global security and stability, and it is essential that all efforts be made to prevent such an outcome."}, {"id": 85, "content": ">>72\n>but no one has cried >NOOK harder than strelkov\nHuh?

Giangreco. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4uDfg38gyk [Embed]\n\nHere's the basic situation: Japanese leadership didn't care one bit about Japanese lives; as far as they were concerned, all civilians could just go and die for the dynasty at their command. But... internal police had produced reports by mid-'45 that if half the population of the Home Islands (40 million out of 80) died, there was a non-zero chance that enough of the survivors would rebel that they would be strong enough to overthrow the government, and *that* was not acceptable. Some generals, of course, were convinced that they could fight to the last civilian.\n\nThe strategic plan at that point was to kill a million GIs, wounding several million more in the process. They still believed that Americans were \"weak\", and would never be willing to sacrifice half their population like Japan could. A million dead GIs, the thinking went, and the American public would demand that the US negotiate, at which point Japan would get most of what it wanted simply by threatening to continue the war. Honestly, dragging out a conflict and inflicting American casualties has worked pretty well against the US ever since; Japan just completely misunderstood how angry they'd made the US public.\n\nJapan guessed (correctly) when and where the invasion would begin, because they'd seen a dozen previous operations and could read a map. They had heavily-reinforced the correct areas, and had plans to launch an onslaught of kamikazes of all types, plus forcing women and children into suicidal attacks. The firebombings, submarine warfare, and aerial mining campaigns were bad, not enough to make them blink. US propaganda claimed that they had a devastating new weapon, but the US claimed lots of stuff."}, {"id": 40, "content": ">>39\nAnd then Hiroshima blew up. A single bomber did that, rather than a thousand. That's a problem, right?\n\nWell, not so much. Japan, it turned out, had possibly the second-best nuclear program on the planet. By analyzing the damage and taking samples, scientists were able to not just determine the strength of the Bomb, but to determine the amount of HEU it had used and correctly(!) estimate that the US would only be able to produce enough HEU for ~2 Bombs a year.\n\nNot a problem. That's far less than the firebombings were doing. Japan could hold out easily until the expected invasion, at which point they'd begin the killing in earnest and win the war at the peace talks. Stay the course.\n\nAnd then Nagasaki blew up. Problem? Problem! That's about 6 months too soon. Worse, samples indicated that the US had figured out how to make a Bomb out of plutonium, which is much, *much* easier to produce in bulk than HEU. Nobody else had any clue how to do it.\n\nSuddenly, there was a very real chance that the American claims that there were \"hundreds\" of Bombs ready to go didn't sound like a bluff; it could be real. And suddenly, there was a chance that Japan could lose 40 million people *before the first GI landed*. The government could be overthrown. The dynasty could be ended.\n\nHirohito had a secret golden parachute from the US, despite the official claims of \"Unconditional Surrender\". You see, no IJA unit had *ever* surrendered en masse. It was believed (probably correctly) that the *only* man on the planet who could get them to stand down was the Emperor. So he was secretly offered a guarantee that the dynasty would continue--possibly even with him leading it--if he would issue that order. And, looking at possibly being the Emperor who *lost* the dynasty forever, Hirohito *blinked*.\n\nIt was a partial bluff, but he didn't know that. There was a third Bomb almost ready, and after that, one could be made every 10 days or so. But the bluff worked."}, {"id": 41, "content": ">>39\n>>40\nInteresting.

And don't forget that he almost got overthrown in a coup and placed under house arrest by generals who were convinced that they could *make* the Japanese people fight to the last drop of blood (ironically, while the coup never had much chance of succeeding, it was stopped in part by a nearby bombing raid that put the sentries on full alert). Japan had a plan to deal with the USSR, by luring them in, and then counterattacking from northern Korea and cutting off their supply lines. Would it have worked any better than trying to kill a million GIs? Hard to say. But, it's not hard at all to say that it was a combination of factors that convinced Hirohito to stab his generals in the back, or that the second Bomb was his breaking point.\n\nI always wondered if he ever found out just how few Bombs the US had, and if he ever second-guessed himself over that."}, {"id": 43, "content": ">>41\nThe plan was to hold the next three nukes in reserve and drop them at the same time as the first amphibious landings, to fuck up the defenders."}, {"id": 44, "content": ">>41\nProbably Kokura, which was *supposed* to be the second target, but which was obscured by smoke, leading to a switch to Nagasaki as the backup target."}, {"id": 45, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nHiroshima was most wood buildings that got knocked over by the shockwave them set on fire.

So, you can't get from megatons to gigatons just by changing the technology.

People who survived the bomb for the most part didn't talk about it after except in private to family members, they tried to put it behind them. He said that if you didn't have family members randomly come down with leukemia, you never would've known it happened because Nagasaki was completely rebuilt within 2 years and people chose not to discuss it.\n\nOh also, he found humor in the fact that his mother never directly experienced the bomb and its aftereffects since it was dropped inaccurately and the city was mainly just hit by the shockwave, so she got smacked in the head by a roof tile and her family put her to bed to recover while they went out to burn bodies, and by the time she woke up they already came back home."}, {"id": 61, "content": ">>7\nout of gas"}, {"id": 62, "content": ">>1 (OP)\nPretty good during that meta as a flat damage dump but the cooldown was kinda long.

To legally buy a machine gun, you must follow a strict process that involves obtaining a special license and adhering to several regulations. Here are the basic steps:\n\n1. Determine if you are eligible: To buy a machine gun, you must be at least 21 years old, be a US citizen, and have no felony convictions, domestic violence convictions, or other legal disqualifications.\n\n2. Obtain a Federal Firearms License (FFL): Machine guns are classified as \"Title II weapons\" under the National Firearms Act (NFA), and therefore can only be sold by individuals or entities that possess an FFL. You can either obtain an FFL yourself or purchase a machine gun from a licensed dealer who already has an FFL.\n\n3. Complete the required paperwork: To buy a machine gun, you must complete a \"Form 4\" application through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), which requires you to provide detailed information about yourself, the firearm, and the transaction.\n\n4. Pay the necessary fees: There are various fees associated with buying a machine gun, including a $200 tax stamp fee and any additional fees charged by the dealer or FFL.\n\n5. Wait for approval: After submitting your Form 4 application and paying the necessary fees, you must wait for approval from the ATF. The approval process can take several months, as the ATF conducts a thorough background check on the buyer.\n\n6. Take possession of the machine gun: Once your application is approved, you may take possession of the machine gun from the licensed dealer or individual seller.\n\nIt is important to note that the process for buying a machine gun is highly regulated and can be time-consuming and expensive. Additionally, some states have their own laws and regulations regarding machine guns, so it is important to research the laws in your specific state before attempting to purchase a machine gun."}, {"id": 5, "content": ">>4\nHe said new, not pre-86.\n\nHonestly OP, since you have enough acres just make one yourself."}, {"id": 6, "content": "You don't.\n\nYou just shoot a semi auto really fast.\n\nWith a hard reset trigger, or some bump fire mechanism.\n\nCheck out this redneck, you can shoot \"full auto\" using just your hand.\n\nGuess we gotta ban hands now.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RdAhTxyP64 [Embed]"}, {"id": 7, "content": ">>6\nOr, get the proper tax stamp, buy a normal modern full auto weapon or NFA legal full auto conversion.

The Chinese develop Africa, try to industrialize sugar production here, try to industrialize coltan mining there; but also creating a class of Africans that are wealthy enough to purchase foreign goods as a result of this development. Since all these endeavors are Chines companies, and the Chinese have their greedy little fingers in everyone's pie, it's only natural that the Africans purchase their consumer goods from China. But the kicker is, they are sending their materials to China, working as China's own miniature factory or farm or mine or whatever the Chinese need, then China takes these unfinished goods, processes it, slaps a made in China sticker on it, and ships it back to Africa at a massive mark up. Obviously this plan isn't going to completely shield China from the sanctions, but that's why China is leaning so hard into BRICS, the Belt-and-Road, etc. as well.

Specifically, the National Firearms Act (NFA) and the Gun Control Act (GCA) both regulate the manufacture, distribution, and possession of firearms, including restrictions on certain modifications to firearms.\n\nFor example, under the GCA, it is illegal to possess a firearm that has had its serial number removed, altered, or obliterated (18 U.S.C. § 922(k)). It is also illegal to manufacture or possess a firearm that is not detectable by metal detectors (18 U.S.C. § 922(p)). Under the NFA, it is illegal to possess certain types of firearms, such as short-barreled rifles and shotguns, without proper registration and taxation (26 U.S.C. § 5845(a)).\n\nIn addition, state laws may have their own regulations and restrictions on firearms, including modifications or alterations.

Even stealthier is 120 rounds, 2x30 on the gun, 2x30 in pockets/waistband.

The plan was simple, get about 3 companies worth of troops along with some engineers and a few artillery pieces, find a decently defensible position, dig in, and use the zombies' propensity to chase sounds to lure them in. Since sound only travels so far you've got a finite number of zombies to deal with. Once you're no longer getting attacked, you head up a couple miles away, dig in, and do it again, keep it up in a grid pattern and slowly build an area relatively zombie free to stage major operations. Of course on the ground shit goes wrong. Number of local zombies is underestimated, meaning that they're thrown into full battle before a defensive perimeter can be fully constructed. While swarms had been encountered before, Yonkers was the first recorded instance of mass herding behavior by the zombies which pit the troops against several orders of magnitude more zombies than anticipated. And because they weren't able to effectively create fortifications, eventually the zombies were able to breach the perimeter and did so on several occasions. However, the fire base was never overrun, aerial bombing and artillery was highly effective against the horde, and when the mission was called off due to logistical issues they were able to evacuate everyone with only a few dozen casualties to thousands of zombies killed. But that was irrelevant, the public didn't see a successful evac of a mission that managed 1000:1 k/d ratio despite things going sideways from the outset, all they saw was some private getting chewed up on camera and a miles long horde of zombies, and freaked. Desertion skyrocketed, cohesion broke down, and everyone started panicking that the government couldn't help them.

No need to have the tanks loaded with sabot ammunition, have them loaded up fully with canister rounds like anyone with half a brain would, just make it nowhere near enough to deal with what they encounter. This is a great place to introduce the concept of the chain swarm and have it be what causes the operation to fail. Have the command base their operation based on the number of zombies expected to be drawn in by the sound of gunfire, but not consider the knock-on effect of the zombies attracting even further zombies with their moaning. They've planned for thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of zombies, but their operation unintentionally concentrates the entire Eastern Seaboard's worth of zombies onto an ad hoc firebase of three companies worth of dudes. To fuck things up even more, have the operation start eventually drawing zombies in from the rear, which eventually cuts off ground-based supply and forces the soldiers to evacuate via helicopter once their position becomes untenable. It'd be the perfect opportunity to have a Fall of Saigon-style moment with the survivors being evacuated, complete with the soldiers boarding a Chinook from the rooftop of a 7/11 as the now-abandoned perimeter starts crumbling.

I'd also work it in to some of the later elements of the book. Why did the US Army bother adopting all the retarded weaponry instead of telling troops semi-auto only? Because a bunch of think-tank suits desperately trying to avoid getting assigned shit shoveling duty kept pushing that it was an equipment issue that caused the loss at Yonkers.

The evacuation centers would be pure chaos, making Saigon and Afghanistan '21 look orderly. With the military unsure how to ascertain what constitutes an infected, and some NY National Guardsmen/LE specifically choosing their families to pick out of the crowd in order to get them out first(I'm thinking along the lines of I Am Legend). This causes more chaos and in the confusion, LE and mil end up firing into the crowd. This scenario repeats itself as people don't know if the military's there to clean up the area or if they're actually there to evacuate the uninfected.
