>PDWWhose retarded idea was this? Why not just give everyone M4's?And if that's not small enough, cut the barrel down to 10''
>>64738085Technically, 5.56 is a varmint cartridge. Turns out you just have to shoot someone a lot.
>>64738125The difference is that 5.56mm NATO cavitates in ways which made it an even better killer than 7.62mm NATO (at the expense of barrier penetration and longer range performance, mind), while 5.7mm is lucky if it doesn't icepick.
>>64738220Icepicking is a meme. Shot placement is king.
>>64738765Both are a meme, dumping 2/3 of your mag into the enemy is the only tried and true method.
>>64738791this. It's a fight, not precision surgery.
can iranian forces win? while they have the numbers they seem outgunned by irgc/basij so far. ive seen shotguns,pistols.. any automatic weapons are rare and the enemy has tanks and artillery they have not yet deployed.i think if they just take over key cities,roads and choke the enemy of supplies they have a shot

>>64738760What do the Muslim groups in Russia think of Iran?
>>64738783They'll probably "muh muslim solidarity" post online, but the Shite-Sunny split will give the Ayatollah a tougher time finding an audience irl.
>>64738490>planesExtensive experimentation with SAG is being done, usually methane, hydrogen or ammonia based, which is mostly made through electrolysis or chemical separation, using quite a lot of energy.>shipsAlso just use nuclear. Or the same SAFs for the planes. Shipping is already experiment8ng with ammonia as well.>carsEVs are the future.>plasticsCan be made from biodiesel.
>>64738563>psyopLow effort.
Why isn't Russia putting explosives in their "advanced" super sonic missiles? This is the second time the "oreshnik" missiles have been used and they were empty again. I read they're very expensive, limited. People theorizing they were out of them already.
>>64738675Shouldn't Ukraine be using its precious and rare US rockets on military targets instead?
>>64738675>shot down 6Press X to doubt
>>64737981>expecationAll you can eat buffet of AIDs flavored Russian pussy.>realityHorrors beyond human comprehension.
>>64736731I'm sure the point is to convince their supporters that Russia still got it and that the gloves are coming off any second now. As evident by the comments under this clip.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9GRHpWWqOvE
>>64738737AFAIK it wasn't even HIMARS but ukie crap (drones or missiles), it's just that they can't acknowledge that some hillbilly retards which they make fun of actually made their own weapons and hit back.

>>64738685Excellent Karen obliterator setup
>>64738585>IMO the weight and cost savings in general outweigh the learning curve to apply the product correctly. Yes from a pure design standpoint they're inferior especially from the human UI UE perspective.They are rarely the cheapest, lightest, best at transmitting clamping force or best looking.Really no reason to buy the subpar product>>64738621XCR a series of bad ideas, sall good>but then you'd have people complaining that it crushed their rail or they broke the mount using tools to close itAh yes but this is a failure condition thats readily apparent and doesnt give a false state of readiness on the product.>>64738650>people are using it to pop sentriesWe looked around, people are infact not doing this either>>64738769How much money do you want to spend?What are you trying to accomplish?
>>64738785>We looked aroundI don't believe your tranny harem is conducting combat missions.
>>64738785I have a $1,500 budget for weapon, optic, accessories. That's the easy answer. The harder answer is that I think I'm looking to use it to teach my wife and family how to shoot, I'd like to maybe use it in shooting competitions if I want to get into that type of thing, and I want it in the event I need to express my 2nd amendment rights. And I want a fucking badass gun. I'm aware that's a wide net and I do apologize
So what will the generals buy with the proposed 50% increase on defense budget?
>>64738709>following the law and adhering the the constitutional separation of powers is libtard now
>>64738715Laws that are fucking bullshit to begin with (like the NFA) should be forgotten and violated. It’s what this country was founded on. >b-b-but muh rules based society!Take your bullshit rules based society and shove it up your kester fucking no-guns euro commie trash, USA is no.1 because we play by our own fucking rules and no body else’s. Now post your guns and/or cats or GTFO my board commie.
>>64738715blah blah laws rules regulations How about getting shit done? Trump's tariffs were going to be voted on as illegal by Congress today but they didn't even bring it up.
>>64738751>the control of the purse being explicitly laid out as belonging to Congress by the founders should be forgotte >it's designed that way for precisely this reason, to keep an executive from acting entirely on their own without oversight>it's retarded for the US to follow its own founding documentFound the clown.
>>64738751>I trust the government to do what's right with no checks or balancesGod, you people are stupid.
Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.
>do everything pistolIt's .44 Magnum. It's always been .44 Magnum. It always will be .44 Magnum.
>>64738695No reason for 44 Magnum to exist anymore when 45 Colt exceeds its performance in guns of the same size and era, and offers a better selection of bullets. Let it die.
>>64738702
>>64733430>ObsidianHow many warranty claims have you made for end cap strikes so far?
>>64732833i think they should just make the stock mount to the picatinny rail on the nose of the frameit would look awkward and stupid but it would come off and on pretty easily and if you make it to a reasonable standard of quality it will be merely mediocre instead of outright bad.
How the fuck do you even make mechs make tactical sense?They present a high as fuck target, have these thin chicken legs with a million moving parts, exert ludicrous ground pressure. They cost probably as much as a nuclear submarine, are limited by line of sight, would be fucked up by a tank, couldn't touch a modern jet that could kill it from 30000 feet high and 10 miles away etc.Like how the hell do you bend the rules of your universe to make these I wouldn't be sperging out about this if Battletech was lemonade sci-fi running on the rule of cool and the power of friendship, but its intended audience was milsim autists who willingly bought hundred-page pretend technical manuals for these pieces of garbage.
>>64722373>How the fuck do you even make mechs make tactical sense?You don't. Now shut up and enjoy the mechanical weapons pornography.
>>64738055>And the unloaded launcher is 450,000 C-bills.With basically no chance that the enemy will be able to return fire so it's way cheaper than a mech that will just end up getting blown up.>So it turns out an ASF pilot would need a MechwarriorNot a mechwarrior, TAG infantry are a thing, a single infantryman in the woods can provide TAG services and go unspotted the whole time.
>>64738472Technically Battletech has magic cables.
>>64738692>With basically no chance that the enemy will be able to return fire so it's way cheaper than a mech that will just end up getting blown up.Assuming the TAG carrier doesn't get blown up >Not a mechwarrior, TAG infantry are a thing, a single infantryman in the woods can provide TAG services and go unspotted the whole time.Only sorta. While mech fire control is garbage mechs do carry pretty good search and detection sensors. It also doesn't help that TAG systems are listed as a full ton. TAG infantry aren't going to be as stealthy as just a man with a rifle.
>>64738692>With basically no chance that the enemy will be able to return fireIncorrect. Also, irrelevant.>TAG services and go unspotted the whole timeLiterally not possible against any combat vee or Mech. Everything has warning receivers against TAG.
Are living suicide bombs a viable strategy in an open war? I thought that suicide bombing was only good for terrorism at checkpoints/markets but not for a frontal assault to a fortified enemy position.Banzai charges barely worked...
>>64738295They lure poor people with no future from Africa into their war machine, not just men.
>>64738570White men carries many but a nigger only onewhich way western world...
>>64738161i think 1 issue is at least the fact that south asians are physically quite weak on average
>>64738012They obviously lied to him.
>>64738592poor bastard, going to russia for a better life...
Theoretically what’s the smallest ranged weapon that could be equipped by someone that could still reasonably incapacitate a regular sized person?
so we've had a giantess thread and now it's time for the minigirl thread?

Post wheelgats. Just bought this 3rd change hand ejector dated to roughly 1912
>>64719202So, the fence sitting faggot answer is to run both and just strap on (kek) whatever you feel like on a given day. Just remember black powder is corrosive, so clean whatever you shoot properly and mind the holster wear. Also, clean off any sweat immediately. It's insane, but it will rust stainless guns if left unattended.
>>64734464I'd be happy with one in .44 Special.
So... Revolver Autists. I recently inherited this. I know shit about revolvers. Pretty sure it's a model 10 has mod 10-5 on frame inside the wheel. Who can school me up on these?
>>64738591Is gud gun
>>64738591.38, snubnose. Otherwise the same as a service revolver. The kind of thing that will kill anything that moves. Some of these other guns, they're like toys. This one, you can go out and hammer nails with it all day, and it will cut dead center every time.Now, would you like some meth? How about a Cadillac, with the pink slip?
Why do fantasy armours focus so much on pauldrons? It's even quite common to see characters having a bare chest, legs, head and neck but always wearing these massive, useless chunks of steel on their shoulders?
>>64714604Now post the epic scale nids
>>64723654the way Gerry Grace depicts the red paint on the terminator armor, giving it a texture that perfectly captures the way the light reflects off the semi-gloss enamel surface created by the paint, is just amazing. Like, you can perfectly imagine just how that armor would feel to touch.the funny part is that it makes the picture look and feel uncanny because none of the other details of the painting are done that perfectly, nor are they intended to.
Videogames largely popularized it because its easier to read at lower resolutions. Same reasons why plumes on helmets are popular in fantasy. Its useful for a commander when hes looking down on his forces from above. Because its videogames you dont have to go with practical visual markers on practical armor.
>>64733259Most people don't even know that the Chaos Space Marines are supposed to be Americans, and the Daemons are supposed to be the French.
>>64733877Yeah that kind of uneven painting was one of the hallmarks of pre-2nd Edition Warhams, like how 2nd Edition's thing was the artists showing off how well they can detail shiny metal.
Kalashnikov might be the only more-used firearm in history.
>>64737339It was good but the real game changer was that Samuel Colt basically invented firearm mass manufacturing.It was the first time in history that you could find standard parts. That alone would have made it ubiquitous.
>>64735743I always thought the kalashnikov and the G3 are the most used firearms in history.
>>64735756I feel like we're going to get some kind of Reddit stereotype applied to us soon, but being a Taiping Rebellion appreciator is
>>64738730Waldo was eaten by Jesus' brother.
>>64738766Dubs confirm.
