Previous:>>65367016What are FRTs:Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) are firearm modifications that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly by automatically resetting the trigger after each shot, while still requiring a trigger pull for each round. They increase the rate of fire without converting the firearm into a fully automatic weapon.List of platforms that offer FRT/Super Safety support or are currently in development, footage and recommended distributed sellers.https://kg2g.github.io/FRTINFO/webpage/FRTINFO.htmlRecent News:- Texas Trigger's P320 FRT is released- s3igu2 teases 3 position SCAR FRT with uncut trigger and OEM housing- FS2000 3 position FRT announced by Izhmash Arms - MAC 11/12 3 position FRT announced by Advanced Reset Tech- Walther PDP/PPQ FRT announced by Advanced Reset Tech- Taurus RPC FRT announced by Duality Arms CoComment too long.

>>65427199is there yet to be an FRT for a PLR-16/SU-16?it has yet to be done
>>65478023not that i am aware of
>>65477199If your gun is running dry due to heat you need to be using a high temp grease or a high temp machine gun grease like Slip2000/EWG or TW25B.

The world has gone to shit, world militaries are stretched thin. Governments have started issuing Letters if Marque, what boats are you getting and how are you loading them out. We're taking back Tortuga!
>>65474288Depends on my ship's size and if it has sails. If small and no sails, then recoilless rifles and a mortar with computerized targeting. Obviously .50cals for cqb and MANPADS and 12ga rws for anti-air. If my ship's rather big, then a few torpedo tubes, a howitzer and dual-purpose 30mm+ autogun.>>65474375Actual 0IQ.

Why weren't revolver rifles more common in late 19th century/early 20th century armies? Why ditch them for single shot bolt actions?
>>65476148Fuck off shitskins
>>65477696>Wikipedia
>>65477521>>65477508>>65472022One solution.
>>65469937>BP ones chain fired>Longer barrel for higher velocity was made moot by cylinder gap>Tube magazine-fed repeaters made them obsolete.
>>65469937they break easily because percussion loading means the barrels are generally held in with wedges and are awkward to shoot due to gasses leaking at the cylinder gap, they are lower power/velocity than mussleloading designs being derived from a handgin design and for example in killing a horse you need something with more energy>>65469953They are fine if hamdled correctly but that's always a lot to expect from ordinary soldiers in the first half of the 19th centuryA single shot bolt action is greater energy, greater range and greater accuracy the side with them will kill the opposition with shorter range lower energy less accurate weapons and the revolver rifle side will have less chances of killing the opponents horses A decent musketrifle is good in volley to 500 yards and up as are single shot bolt actions.
Should the Navy SEALS go through a complete restructure and culture change? Looking at their past they get many things wrong and some things right, they have a team culture but with all the negative traits .Do they still excel in amphibious operations or have they been completely misused in their purpose as a unit and lost their edge?
>>65476489The entire point of the SEALs is to serve as a recruiting tool to get people who sign contracts where when they inevitably fail, they are able to be put into whatever the Navy needs; paint chippers and other shit jobs that recruitment can't fill but don't require highly competent people like the nuke pipeline which justifies the insane bonuses they pay to try and fill said slots. SEALs don't need to do anything productive other then build their mythos for the Navy to want to keep them around, and it shows in how even SpecWar officer candidates are largely allowed to skate through OCS because they'll either wash out in BUDS or not, though I am unsure if they sign a contract with the Navy after completing OCS like all other officers other then the nukes who're already locked in which would allow them to be moved to fill the eternally gaping SWO shortages or if they don't sign until after BUDS because the Navy normally assigns your designator at the time of signing and you have to be accepted by the designation's community to be allowed to do so.
>>65478328Yeah but consider, to actually build that mythos, they need to succeed at their job. You can't just pretend when the other SF are getting shit done and expect to be held on the same level as them.
>>65476164Just go to /hm/.
>>65477807>Rangers, Delta, Marsoc, PJs, fucking Combat Control are INFINITELY more respected and disciplied than the Seals>MarsocIt was a MARSOC Raider and a SEAL who murdered that Green Beret in Mali because he threatened their drug trafficking side hustle. MARSOC is basically “SEALs but for the Marines”.

Has anyone turned their Beryl fire selector into an ambi safety? I'm thinking about chopping the sear dingus off and welding the selector axel to the safety lever so I can flip the safety with my thumb. I don't think there's enough meat on the axel to pin it or use a set screw.

How are Starfleet science and exploration ships on the level of or superior to dedicated warships of other factions? These ships for science and diplomacy full of kids and classrooms are regularly used as full fleet combatants, yet apparently Starfleet doesn't have actual warships. Imagine if US Navy survey ships were better than dedicated destroyers of other navies and you see why this is bullshit.
>>65477999>>65478059Shit I missed the digits, nice.
>>65477999>set Starfleet back yearsSHELBY: We'll have the fleet back up in less than a year.
>>65478026>FootfallTotal let down after the likes of Mote in God's Eye and Lucifer's Hammer. Hell, even Pournelle's rather weak Oath of Fealty was better.
>>65477200I like how all their conflicts can legit be boiled down to them encroaching on the territory of their neighbors then after several genuine attempts at being told to respect the borders act completely surprised as they get attacked for ignoring said warnings. It happened with the Klingons, happened with the Cardassians, happened with the Talarians and then it happened with the Dominion.>>65477440They really should have stuck with the original version of the Dominion which was to be a dark mirror of the Federation. They were meant to have way more species fighting for them and were doing so willingly.
>>65470848Officially starfleet wants to be seen as peaceful as the show runners are hippie dippie socio communists who think the future won't be ubi and job lotteries so the best they have is the Defiant class and quantum torpedoes but primarily photon torpedoes which are boring as shit in fiction.
Let's fucking go, we're finally doing this shit. https://news.usni.org/2026/09/01/japanese-south-korean-turkish-warships-under-consideration-for-new-u-s-frigate-competition
>>65475519I feel sad for the guy that does vibration & fatigue analysis for this mast. This shit and installed electronics won't survive for long once the ship goes full ahead in sea state 5 or above
>>65475081>FREMM is too expensive and fragile.kind of a retarded statement considering its never been into combat, like 95% of modern navies.italian naval engineering is good.>Burgers need something reliable, survivable and cheap.in the land where the contractors keep scamming the US govt with overinflated bills and a military leadership that changes specifics depending on how they wake up that day no such thing will ever happen lolthey'd need 200 pearl harbors to unfuck their procurement and realize the MIC is a scam
>>65478162>America withdrew because of changes made to appease Europe, making it a Euro frigate instead of a NATO frigateWhere is the lie?

Suppose the US didn't step into the 2025 India-Pakistan conflict, and the war continued to escalate. Who would've won if Pakistan or India attempted to take control of the entire Kashmir region? Based on military equipment, known capabilities, etc
>>65476366India has such a massive logistical advantage that it'd be insane if they lost against Pakistan. Considering both are societally fucked but not completely inept militarily, it'd probably be real bloody but I can't not see India winning on size alone.
>>65477868As i already mentioned an Indian nuclear first strike would probably lose India 1/60th of it's population over a decade and result in total Pakistani obliteration, they are idiots for not having done it already. India has bad leadership, no one beside Pakistan will respond to an Indian nuclear first strike. The moment they blast Pakistan with a couple of H-Bombs the world would quietly applaud them.
>>65477456>verified ability to use hydrogen fusion devicesI thought that was in question and they might be stuck at boosted fission like the pakis are.But ofc when it comes to any information on subcontinental shenanigans there's a huge amount of skin right way.I generally agree though, possible institutional incompetence aside, india looks to be on a better footing for nuclear war than pakistan.But I think China might get a little freaky at night over an Indian first strike
>>65476366>Who would've wonHumanity
What happens if I said India has no chance in Hell of winning any conflict it gets itself into, especially with Pakistan?
So have we basically returned to medieval times where nations just raid each other?Has open warfare been outclassed? There's no point to holding territory first anymore, you basically drone or missile the enemy's infrastructure untill they can no longer out-produce you and only then do you invade. Armies and drone swarms do not seem to go well hand-in hand like artillery or air assaults and i imagine the third world will see more of these on-off drone matches as they don't threaten the military juntas those nations rely on. The civilians are the ones that matter and assemble the drones now, and they can't really use those against the government like with guns
>>65472987>is to move more / all of the decision making onto the drone itself, which is in motion nowand then because the drone is complex, requires custom hardware and is more expensive you go ahead and put a jet engine and more fuel and a bigger warhead on it to make better use of it.then you make it launchable from planes or ground trucks.and then you realize that you've already had the exact same thing in service decades before you were pushed to develop your "long range strike drone".
>>65472661>The allies genocided the axis powers during carpet and firebombing operations under the excuse they were trying to hit infraestructure and industryIt didn't happen but should have.
>>65475211Not really, stuff like this exists off the shelf today and an can run models locallyhttps://www.modalai.com/collections/all-fpv-components/products/voxl-2-mini?variant=44246380577072The push to run AI in cell phones and such will continue to improve and commodify such capability. The actual executive logic is very simple, the heavyweight stuff is perception and navigation and those are here in an "80%" capacity as of like 4 years ago

>>65474492Damn looks nice
>>65471106I reload my shotgun ammo with DIY steel shot. Just cut wire to pieces about as long as the diameter of the wire, then tumble them for a bit to make them round-ish. It's very cheap and adequate for clays. I got a shotgun proofed for steel shots just to be sure.
I haul old appliances and furniture in the woods like pappy used to and shoot 'em full of holes
