How does this happen, picrel?
>>64692677Dehydration and high blood pressure are the most common reasons
>>64692677Global warming
>>64692856Fuck, thanks for reminding me I have 3 of these in the freezer.
>>64692677Actually it's pretty common, 1 out of 3 artillery pieces will suffer it at one point in their life, same with ERA pattern baldness. It's a shame we as a society don't invest more into research to prevent such issues

>>64691752The new CAPs look so much better, though. Guess it goes to show that if you make something mandatory, people will find a way to make it decent.
>>64693199Even the cheap inflatable AA Shield CAPs reduce BFS by 60% or more with soft armor. You can expect similar performance with plates.GOST, the Ruskie armor standard, is anal about BFD with a limit of 17mm vs NIJ 44mm. Some differences in measuring material aside, they need to use CAPs to consistently get there, or the new, rarer, but quite effective TAPs.The Ars Arma HEXS CAP reduces BFD against 5.45 threats to nothing with certain plates. Zero.

>>64693339Botach probably needs these gone before reddit wakes up and realizes they're probably the exact fucking plates Hesco recalled five years ago. I'm sure the price is negotiable for a bulk deal.

Here is how tanks can win.The chain doesn't need to be very thick, just strong enough to support a very high RPM, and also collision against drones.Even if the chain breaks, the spool can just release more chain.There should be some dynamic counter weight to keep things balanced.
Here is my wunderwaffe.
OP how about shut the fuck up about the spool, like yea, it might be the most brilliant technical idea I've ever heard, but it sucks and we're gonna shut this down and bury it so hard that the world will never know about your fucking spool
>>64684913Ah yes chap the good old whirling dirvish of death and destruction.Carry on.
>>64689260An a chain will never be as fast as a Katana spun by a true master.
Why are people here so butthurt about OP's idea?You don't need much to destroy a drone, a chain could work.But not any chain, it would need to be a bycicle chain, with it would could transfer the energy more easily into the rotation of the chain.

>>64685601Extreme ball busting while being forced to eat them out.
>>64690370It works well everywhere, but that doesn't preclude a tailored solution being more effective for a particular environment. Hence why hunting camos like realtree tend to blow the fuck out of any military camo when used in their intended environment and season, but outside of that circumstance tend to perform worse because they're too specific. Multicam is generalist enough that it works well in most places, which makes it perfect for an internationally deploying military force. This is a very basic principle, I cant believe this even needs explaining.
>>64690534I think he just want to hate on the pattern.
>>64684747Yes retard. The real question is if camo matters in the brightly colored armband age.

What are the strategic implications of Russia deploying (literal) cavalry wave attacks against Ukrainian positions and drones in the last month of 2025? Has the eyebrow been raised?
>>64687436We could have stopped this even before in 2014. Instead the whole West behaved like faggots thx to the German and our stupid French president at the time. It really drives me crazy to think this whole mess could have been put to a stop 10 years before. Russians and Ukrainians were still fighting hard but because it was limited to the Donbass and Ukraine never imagined retaking the Crimea, nobody gave a fuck and acted like it was normal behaviour for Russia
>>64691305>and acted like it was normal behaviour for RussiaTo be fair, it was. Whether said behavior should be accepted by western countries is another matter.

Ruger has a shotgun now.
>>64678985Shooting a Glock is like riding the town bicycle; everyone has done it and the experience itself is often totally underwhelming.
>>64690359>its like watchesSpeaking of watches...
>>64690483Poor people always get so bent out of shape when they think they deserve attention from their betters. It's really quite sad.
>>64690529Depends on the watch, though. It's one thing to wear a vintage Yachtmaster that nobody but other watch appreciators knows is worth $20,000 and it's another thing to wear a watch covered in platinum and rubies because you want everyone to know how much money you spent on your watch.
>>64690529>>64690483>>64690359most over unders are retard priced because they need to regulate the barrels which involves a lot of labor and anyone buying an O/U, especially a 20 gauge O/U is already a special class of gun buyer because it's a shotgun and if they were price sensitive they would have bought a single shot or pump. most semi auto hunting rifles and shotguns are retardedly priced because if someone was price sensitive they would buy a pump, single shot or bolt. Same thing with lever guns, retard prices because someone who is price sensitive would buy a bolt
Change my mind
>>64691105wanna do a krasa bullpup with long stroke piston..krasa system ads 3 inches of barrel length, bullpup ads 7 inches.. drawing is just for basic explanation, the barrel is actually going past the magazine internally.
I don't have strong opinions on this matter, and neither should you.
>>64691105really a delayed mechanism is best because you don't need a gas system at all, resulting in a simpler and lighter gun.(assuming the people making it didn't have a bizarre fixation with copying HK's overweight guns)however, lazy engineers rould rather rip off stoner for the umpteenth time than develop anything new.
>>64691105>Waiter, waiter! More reciprocating mass!

Why don't modern rifles have a cleaning rod along the barrel anymore with a cleaning kit in the stock/grip?Seems like a pretty inelegant solution to give the soldier these separate maintenance packages when it all could be mounted on the gun, easily and quickly accessed when needed, and never misplaced/lost.
>>64690177You got the memo on hand? idk for sure but assuming you're talking about infantry with rifles and not backline dudes with carbines the army that initially went to Korea was underequipped, badly trained, poorly conditioned, and not terribly well motivated. Pull thrus are easy enough to improvise.
>>64690203it looks like m1 garands were issued with pull throughs in early WWII and segmented cleaning rods by late WWII.found the thread >>57536567and memo https://lmharchive.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Use-of-Infantry-Weapons-and-Equipment-in-Korea-1952.pdfthere's other funny shit like how none of them sighted in their rifles or used their sights
>>64690234I can believe that their supply failed to provide them with adequate tools to clean their weapons with. Happens today.

Would a sleeve gun actually be viable in real life?
In the early 1970s there was this family that lived down the block in our middle class neighborhood. Their Vietnam vet son was a real bad seed so to speak. He had a Vietnam vet buddy and together they moved a lot of drugs. One of them shot a fellow drug dealer between the eyes with a 1911. All while everyone was seated at the dining room table. The other one fled to a house out in the woods. He got surrounded by the local Sheriff's department guys. He came out wearing a big trench coat. An old timer deputy gunned him down. The guy had a sawed off shotgun up his sleeve with some wire device to pull the trigger. My dad asked the old timer deputy how he knew the guy had this shotgun up his sleeve. Did he see the wire in the guy's hand? The ole deputy said, I had no idea about the shotgun, I shot the bastard because of the way he looked at me.
>>64692526>I shot the bastard because of the way he looked at me.this needs to be a legal precedent.
>>64691003>thought i was thinking hard because i had a revolver in each pocket so I don't have to pick one when shtf>i'm not double suitcase conceal carryingdamn it I'm behind the curve

What, you’re telling me the Derringer in Dr. King Schultz’s sleeve was a work of fiction? Lies.
