>>65100896Allying with Jeets to undermine China will destroy the western world
>>65100960Seems to be working for Japan. Their real wages have been increasing, their auto companies have a bigger market (chinese cars are banned in India), and they're becoming a regional power again.
>>65100970have you seen what happened to canada after importing jeets?there is nothing to be gained from them, they are the human equivalent of goblins.>>65100891jews have colonized india, to nones surprise jeets are banned from the premisehttps://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-811135>>65100915its going to be another kosovo, but globaly, and civilians will march with the military to turn jeets into fertilizer
>>65100970Short term gains for a long-term fall
>>65100856It's wild how they are everywhere. I was in Texas awhile ago and I saw more indians than mexicans while i was there
Do fudd style weapons have any practical advantages other than looking "dignified"? I've been looking at the accuracy discussions on some of the more popular fudd rifles and they don't seem noticeably better than what people report for their "tacticool" rifles. Am I missing something here? Are they all just e-statting and so the numbers should be ignored?
>>65063448If I'm hunting and I want to kill a deer, a bolt action rifle is a great choice, can choose caliber, no magazine underneath that can interfere with shooting prone, I'm not swapping optics regularly...a remmy700 series in 308 is just about perfect. you don't get mag dump endorphins but you get a deer.I don't know what the tacticool answer to shooting quail or pheasant would be, but I've got a winchester 101 over/under that's a better option than a AR platform.
>>65099325>shooting proneWhy are you shooting deer on freshly mown grass?
>>65099343I'm in arizona, its open desert, no grass. Some long shots though because there's no cover for you or the deer.
>>65063605>gun shoots multiple sub moa groups>no you gun doesnt actually do that this is cherry picked!!!
>>65087455Honestly true. The 16 inch m4gery is the 30-06 model 70 of our time
The picture is terrible but you get the idea. Why aren't there any beefier versions of this to sue as a snap caps or dummy round? It would make dry fire practice a lot more entertaining.
>>65037684the WHAT practice round?
>>65085565>trained personnel who's entire job is to make sure nobody accidentally brings in live ammoNo they don't. The ammo detail isn't checking anyone and making sure the training bolt is in is basically just a buddy check. I have literally done this IRL, it's fine. The UTM specific system can't even fire a centerfire round because it's set up for rimfire blanks.>>65083325>guns are not toysYou're entire post is bait, but toys are literally what 99% of this board and the vast majority of gun buyers use guns as.
>>65037684>.55 cumOh yes, with these, certainly
>>65033635>mom said it's my turn to play with the brocock
>>65101011What is this? Why all those posts that are deleted later?

>>65061525Damn didnt the Ft. Hood shooter literally kill more American Soldiers then the entirety of the Iranian military?
>>65070350no need to cope about your retardation
>>65059045>chariots?all the Aryans did yeah, they were pretty mid when not fighting people who had no idea what they were. The second it was people with chariots fighting people with chariots, they disappeared. >Cataphracts? These were a very big deal and there's good reason Rome copied them.>Who came up with Iron first?The Hittites (probably), long before there was such a thing as a Persian.>>65059440>later on they were better known for their disciplined elite cavalry and adopting the horse archer meta via the Parthians who lived in the Northeast part of the Persian Empire.This is likely entirely untrue as two of the three things Herodotus notes the Persians were famed for were riding and archery. Herodotus of course lived centuries before the Parthians existed. And the Parthians were just one of the Scythian peoples, similar people settled west of Iran centuries prior after expanding beyond the Caucasus. The Achaemenid Empire held dominion over numerous nations of them.

Hypothetically if you had a relatively prominent and defensible hill on your property and an unreasonable amount of free time how would you fortify it against an attacking force that could best be described as determined and crafty methheads. Kind of like modern equivalents to medieval brigands. Bonus points if it isn’t just First World War trench systems.
>>65025068Automated laser cannon defense system, autogyro air defense, and a legion of goons with missile fingertip and blade gauntlets in full platemail.
>>65076429You did it.
>>65025170Pretty sure this is a war crime, but meth heads can't declare war. This way you get to keep a nice lawn or vegetable garden or something, too.
Ideally a bunker with some sort of radar calibrated to the local terrain for drones, IR/optical cameras with remote weapon system mgs, some form of launching port for my own drones, assuming this is for protecting against arms available to civilians.
>>65025068Entrenched stone walls, 45 degree angle ditch drainage, iron fencing. A drawbridge. Hooks for concertina wire.
>A video, along with the plans, has recently surfaced showcasing “Project Canard,” an open-source, 3D-printed guided rocket system that recalculates its trajectory mid-air using a $5 sensor and some piano wire>The entire launcher and interceptor frame are printed in standard PLA and run off an off-the-shelf ESP32 microcontroller.... The system even creates its own local Wi-Fi network, allowing the operator to monitor live telemetry and arm the “MANPADS” (Man-Portable Air-Defense System) prototype from a laptop. It uses a distributed camera node network to triangulate targets and update flight paths in real-timehttps://thefreethoughtproject.com/solutions/decentralizing-defense-a-96-guided-rocket-just-put-precision-warfare-into-the-hands-of-the-people
>>65075994>a misfiring gun was legitimately used as a reason to genocide an entire culturesir, blacks are rampantly "misfiring" their guns in broad daylight right in this moment
>>65063323how much do you think would cost to meaningfully deploy thousands of these toys where they might have a chance to do something?bonus points for comparing the cost and effect to a basic guy with a machinegun or a shotgun firing basic ammo compared to the cost of your boondoggle.
>>65082941well there is no explosive inside of it so it isn't going to intercept any missles basically like throwing a 3d printed pla dragon at a missle in flight won't do anything also since a bunch of slavs in ukraine used toys with grenades ziptied to them in war, now everty VC MBA bro thinks every single toilet paper roll sugar rocket is now cutting edge defense industry developement guys i can assure you the future of warefare is not sold at hobbytown usa
>>65002174Pretty sure you just can't A) Have an explosive payloadB) Launch in certain areas/altitudes. That's usually it. The latter is honestly more pain in the ass one.
>>65093128Can’t exceed 400 ft, can’t weight more than 249g, can’t fly in any TFRs and no near airports, need to maintain visual line of sight, yield to all manned air craft and not take off near an airport and get a trust certification
>French forces are arriving in Sweden for the Swedish-led military exercise Aurora 26, designed to strengthen Sweden's national defense and NATO integration. With over 18,000 personnel, it focuses on rapid reinforcement of the Baltic Sea region.That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. The wiesel can fuck off.
>>65096661There's the Otokar Cobra too which is very aesthetic, especially if it's got the spare wheel mounted
>>65096399>Russia has enough nukes to hit Industrial parks and mines as wellnah, most of russian arsenal only exists on paper and serves no purpose other than to pad the numbers so that russian brinkmanship diplomacy and nook threats sound more credible while their up to date arsenal is only minutely larger than that of France, UK or china, not large enough to outweigh the spotty maintenance and unimpressive track record of recent launches that cast doubt over even their readiness.
>>65096653soft ground?
>>65096490That thing must be made out of 3-4 mm steel plate to be able to float like that.
>>65096377Because Trump is a terrible negotiator, he was high as fuck on his own farts after the success in Venezuela and there's no actual adults around him.
>extremely elaborate, heavily decorated armor, exudes an air of status>plain, unadorned helmet, same style as foot soldiersWhy were they like this??
>>65099344>you mad i'm styling on you bro?
>>65098517Might be a hand-me-down helmet.
>>65099223that's also why Dark Souls and Elden Ring have such a clunky coop system, where once you've defeated a boss you can't coop in an area anymore.They literally don't have friends. So they couldn't understand why someone would want to play in an area with the boss already defeated.
>>65100048Try fingerbut hole
>>65098517>>plain, unadorned helmet, same style as foot soldiersYou see. Thats just plain wrong
Bought a <50 rounds shot through it ruger mark III for about three fiddy. Did I make a shitty impulse purchase? I just want a handgun with cheap ammo.
>>65090534Why are you so bitter lol
>>65097043Thank you, anon
>I bought a high quality firearm for a low amount of money, did I make a shitty impulse purchase?
>>65090301You did good Anon, go shoot it
I love my MK4 but I had to loctite all the pins and such because they kept falling out.
>billions of dollars in fragile, irreplaceable hardware which provides a massive economic boost plus civic pride in having modern, First World transportation infrastructure>Ukraine refuses to attack it
>>65099452Same difference, they're all desert people
>>65098929>but attacking a civil airport is terrorist tier.Like what's happening on civilian airports in Iran? Oh wait, then they're reclassified as military airports with regime airplanes of course.
>>65100078>trump's war is shit, news at 11Everyone knew that, yet you faggots managed to stoop even lower.Also, make your own thread.
>>65099341>Blowing up a refinery or port is infinitly more damaging to the Russian economy.It's not, though. Loss of prospective profit is NOT the same as loss of current possessions. Note how everyone was crying "genocide" over Israel bulldozing a few hundred million dollars in Gazan housing. We could also say that the Gazan women not prostituting themselves to their foreign neighbors is also the "loss" of hundreds of millions of dollars, but is that the exact same thing as them going back to a bulldozed house? Their not making money through prostitution is not the same as them losing their houses, and the destruction of their houses is more meaningful.If someone were attacking Texas oil refineries right now to the point where US oil exports dropped a bit, would that impact you more than if someone bombed a bridge you need to cross to go to work every day? Even if the loss is more in dollar amount than the bridge costs, the dollars are just going into the Exxon/Mobil CEO's pockets while as long as the bridge is out you don't get to eat.The bridge is more important to the bedrock functioning of the economy. Selling excess oil is a luxury. Attacking Russia's airliners means that a meaningful transportation network is destroyed. There's a reason we are willing to spend billions on airliners, because they're worth the cost. Airliners are more of a military target than the oil refineries since Ukraine isn't putting a dent in their domestic oil supply while airliners support the weapons manufacturing infrastructure. Airliners provide more to Russia's military than Kiev's power plants do to Ukraine's, and Russia hits Ukraine's power plants on a daily basis. They're a valid target.
>>65099666>>65099690Pozzia can't nook ook in a chimp out because their chink overlords banned the idea you stupid cunts. Not because chinks care about ukraine, lol no, but because they dont want nuclear taiwan. Because proliferation happens the minute westerns predictably cuck out. Who is going to retaliate for a MIRV carpeting downtown kyiv? Sent with the explicit purpose of acking as many ukranians as possible. Frenchies that always talk big shit and always underdeliver? UK lead by bureaucrats like stahmer that have the intimidation factor of a baby lamb and warheads on US missiles? Trump? Lol. He would blame ukraine for bringing it upon themselves and then ban brits from doing anything. As that threatens the bribes him and his trailer trash family want from muscovia
It just smells so good
>>65100415>LebensmittelechtOh shit, it's actually food save.I'm going to fry up a Schnitzel in Ballistol, I'll be back with results.
>>65099080>>65099127Actshually - the original one makes me cough violently when inhaling its nice odor. I am probably allergic against the perfume.Or because I also need to cough when I eat super ripe bananas or inhale paint stripper fumes it might be the butanol content. Who knows, but it's makes me avoid all of the above.
>liquid paraffin (methane, propane, butane etc.)>potassium oleate (a salt naturally found in vegetable oil, very mild irritant but recognized as food safe)>ammonium oleate (another emulsifier and known irritant, is used IRL for repelling deer)>benzyl alcohol (non carcinogen and very low toxicity, fatal to infants, which cannot digest it)>amyl alcohols (not a lot of testing apparently, it is mildly toxic but technically so is the alcohol you drink)>isobutyl alcohol (grain fermentation alcohol, extremely low toxicity)>benzyl acetate (no evidence of being carcinogenic, orchid bees love it as a pheromone and it smells really good)>anethole (a flavoring 13 times stronger than sugar, is associated with a slight increase in liver cancer but not definitive and is generally recognized as safe)>methylpentane in aerosol form (what makes the other shit actually blow out of the bottle, fucks up your nervous system which is why most aerosols these days typically have a bitterant do you don't try to get high off of it)It's not going to do anything to you if you ingest it but I still wouldn't recommend making ballistol a part of your diet
>>65099080I use it exclusively as my clp.In fact, instead of doing a deep clean after every range session, I just spray some down the barrel and let it drain out.For any high wear areas I use a designated lube thats also none toxic.Idk if ballistol is the best product, as tests show some other products are superior, but it certainly does good enough and those other products are likely very hazardous in order to be so effective.Since I like to finger my guns, it just feels good for my ocd to know that the oils are generally none toxic.
>>65100783Basically just avoid the aerosol version it's about the safest gun cleaner around
Anon was asking about her the other day. It does in fact appear like she is still with the fleet. The USN maintains significant MCM as a result. That just means the question remains, why isn't she being utilized? Is it because there aren't any mines or because they can't enter the strait to commence operations?https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/2045464604688384243
>>65094913It's total shit and can only be used after the war is won. Once again stunning American ship design, imagine if it was spent on a real ship.
>>65094913I think the "mines" are a fabrication of the MSM tasked with building public support for the war.If the strait was mined the US wouldn't be blockading it because no one would be using it.
>>65098610derp they mine the middle part so they can force traffic to go through their little island straight where they get tolled
>>65098718If you mean Qeshm island I have serious doubts a tanker of cargo ship can pass through there, you got any AIS data track to prove it?
>>65097913Can you point to an in-service MCM ship that would perform better in these circumstances?
When is this gay shit going to be over?
>>65096333Checked and the answer is *never*
>>65096496I hope dronefag countries like china watch as their millions melt in an instant then the operators get captured and fucked in the ass
Dont mind me just passin true
>>65100760Still, quarter mill low estimate is fucking absurd for the so called second military on earth. I do hate how normies think casualty=kill when casualty can encompass anything from being in bed with the cold to being vaporized
>>65100788This is Russia we're talking about. A casualty is basically KIA.
>shotgun slugs have shit range because they aren't aerodynamically shapedI don't get it, can't they just load shotgun shells with spitzer type projectiles instead for longer range? Why do shotgun slugs strictly NEED to be these Brenneke-style rifled projectiles? I know shotguns are smoothbore but how much worse can the accuracy possible be otherwise?
>>65099118>>65100081Some shotguns actually do have rifled barrels, they are known as slug guns and are usually for hunting.
>>65099118Foster slugs are designed the way they are because chokes dummy.
>>65100552That explains the ribs aka "rifling". The rest of the design is for drag stabilization.
>>65100586A full choke is smaller diameter than a rifled slug. To make it safe to fire a rifled slug out of any choked gun the slug has to be able to deform. This is why the slug has a concave hollow inside, so the sides can deform before pressure makes the gun kaboom.
>>65100685>A full choke is smaller diameter than a rifled slug.Correct.>To make it safe to fire a rifled slug out of any choked gun the slug has to be able to deformYes.> This is why the slug has a concave hollow insideNo. That's why it has ribs. The concave hollow is for drag stabilization. Its presence shifts the center of gravity in front of the center of mass. Compare to other slugs that have ribs yet are much thicker than a rifled Foster slug, like BPI Thug Slugs or Brenneke. Hell Brenneke's website even explains what the ribs are for.
Lmao.https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-turns-ukrainian-counter-drone-tech-after-iran-attacks-sources-say-2026-04-22/
>>65100457USA signed a treaty with Ukraine and eventually backstabbed them of course that will piss off people.
>>65101453Even if what you said is true (its not), my comment said nothing about people being upset. It was about people having inappropriate entitlements while also criticizing behavior they advocate for. So, I have no idea what point you are trying to make by replying to me.
>>65099761They haven't for all of 2025 my g
>>65100948Oh, I see, so he'll give sloppy blowjobs to just about everyone who's nice to him, thanks for clarifying that up.
how did I miss this amazing cope and seethe thread. like how butt blasted is the third world, e.g. China and Russia, at Ukraine getting access to massive amounts of resources and new leverage because of US action. apparently this thread much.
