New Caledonia, a French overseas island territory in the Pacific, is currently facing a borderline insurrection by groups of pro-independence Kanaks (native people of the islands). They are protesting against a law that would allow non-natives to vote if they lived in the territory for more than 10 years. This seriously diminishes any chances at independence from France, as the newcomers are mainly from there and loyal to their home country5 people have died until now, including 2 gendarmes (militarized law enforcement). The gendarmerie and army are attempting to regain control of the situation, while Kanaks and Caldoches (descendants of French immigrants living on the islands) are forming militias to fight each othersHere are a few pics and videos showing the weapons used by the different belligerents, beginning with gendarmes entrenched behind various vehicles
>>61655928If they didn't like it then they shouldn't have lost the Seven Years War.
>>61652954This will never be a W for leftists, get real. Right wingers absolutely LOVE the fact that Mugabe won and turned Zimbabwe into a shithole, it literally just redeems everything they claimed would happen, it's a big ole' fucking embarrassment to every decolonial movement out there and a ringing endorsement of Rhodies rhetoric.Right Wingers real fear are people like Mandela who are competent and not "based" (retards) whose policy success ends at killing and failures start to pile up when it's governing time. Same reason why Israel loves Hamas (i.e a gaggle of bronze age retards) and are terrified of actual secular and moderate Palestinian leaders who could convince moderate Israelis to side with them.
Better the frogs than filthy chinks or russians, everytime you guys lose a colony it becomes the bitch of the russians but they should feel at home in Africa among their people because they are niggers born the wrong color.
>>61652925This is literally the first time this happens anon. A very strange case. Most probably something different than the detainee asking his buddies to free him since he seemed bewildered to be freed on the footage.>>61652932Mange ma baguette.>>61653159>don't give a shit, I hope chang boils them all into soupSo another Covid? Great plan buddy.>>61654955I don't know where you got that idea. France has only 288 to 300 nukes according to available figures and a written down stance of "strict sufficience". Having a first strike ability supposes having a second strike ability once you're struck back, and France don't have enough nukes for this. Also no individual or collective bunker programs to protect the people.>>61655022I have nothing against them. They're nice enough to buy us weapons which in Europe is a rarity.Comment too long.

>>61656089You forgot:>Russians: giga nazis wearing SS tatoos and so on create the Wagner PMC and call it this way because he was Hitler's favorite composer.>Also Russians: claim to fight against nazis in Ukraine.>Africans: demonstrate against France and in favor of Russia with banners pretending to fight against nazis, pic related, because the French refuse to genocide the local enemy tribe.>Russians again: claim to have denazified Wagner. Still rename Wagner's African operations into "Africa Corps" as part of their rebranding strategy after Prigozhin death.What did they all mean by this?
Could Ukraine extend the range of their drone attacks by turning some of their naval drones into aerial drone launchers / takeoff platforms? Why is this not a thing yet? It would also give the Russians less time to react to the incoming strikes. The naval drones could then head back to base and be re-used. What's the downside to this idea?
>>61654854Yeah but think about it - they could even use the drones launched from the naval drone to attack the helicopters that come to attack the drone boats. Don't even necessarily need an AA missile.
>>61654849No, the effective range of a fucking drone isn't dependent on how hard you can chuck it. Come on, man.
>>61654849They need suicide de-mining ground drones to clear lanes for their ground vehicles.
>>61654849Yes they could even attack Russia from Neptune with top secret laser guns splitting Russian skulls in two using 5th gen Blackbirds
>>61654942How hard you can chuck it? That's not at all what I said. If they can launch a drone from a droneboat, the range of that aerial drone remains the same, except it gets to be launched from a place way closer to the target.
Why don't they have a magnetized tanks that can draw all gun fire away? Or just drive it in the vicinity of enemy positions and vacuum up their guns and bullets, and let infantry support sweep up afterwards.
>>61654886thats not how magnets work, do your homework ethan

What does /k/ think of Anduril?
>>61651602It's good to see another serious competitor to the big defense contractors but I think some of their concepts are a little dumb.
>>61651954>do they actually sell anything or just concept videos/products for investors?they sell surveillance equipment to the military and US border patrol. their AI surevillance stations all all over the southern US border. they got some DOD drone contracts too: armed and surveillance
>>61653809supposedly the secret sauce is a unified API/messaging platform and central hub processing, so you can plug whatever device in whereever and it will feed back to the system so they can SIEM the info from every location at once, or make dumb PFCs watch the streams 24/7, or both
>>61651706probably. Definitely connected at the top levels politically.

>>61654292Exoskeleton technology and metallurgy techniques will continue to evolve until firearms and melee weapons are equally matched again or even surpass small arms fire for a while.>>61642825>I support IndiaSame, fuck Communist China and fuck Pakistan too. Maybe one day Pajeets and the Taliban will team up to wreck their shit for good.
>>61637990they look like savage apes. Technology winning wars favors smarter
>>61641839quick, we need to bring cavalry back just to see if it worksit's worth a shot
>>61637990would arrows/polearms/swords be allowed?
>>61654457There will never again be a balance between meelee and missile or weapons and armor like there used to be.Carrying an energy source with you is the game changer that has tilted the tables forever. Armor obviously isnt obsolete of course but it will never be as powerful again as it used to be.
Russia is conducting missile tests near the coast of California. There's nothing to worry about right?
>>61648891Please hit BC and wipe out the entire fucking province.I will personally buy the operator responsible 10 large bottles of stoli should this happen.
>>61649416False. They do perform ICBM tests from time to time, and most are successful (as much as I'd prefer they didn't work). However the most recently introduced ICBM had a rather lacklustre test sequence in both number and results.
>>61652806Don't you have a painkiller to be overdosing on about now, flyover cuck?

>>61650891Wumao. You said you couldn't wait to park your tofu dreg carrier off the west coast. It's a perfectly reasonable response to such an idea to sail a real carrier down the strait. Now if you can't figure out why that's a reasonable response then you're an actual retard.
I PUT IN A P365X MAG IN MY M&P 9c BECAUSE I LET MY INTRUSIVE THOUGHT WIN AND IT CLICKED INTO PLACE! IT FUCKING CYCLES TOO!!! (You have to hold the mag up with your hand) LMFAO!!!!!!!!!
>>61653141Its so bizarre that it worked. I own a regular P365 (i think its a 5 or 6 rnd) mag too. I might try that later and report back. This might be a perfect survival/last-resort idea because the pistol cycled the rounds with the mag.
>>61653165Burt in /hg/ has experience modifying mags, he has a magazine that works in 5-6 different handguns
>>61653052yeah
>>61653195yeah but he's a turbofaggot
>>61653165Basically everybody's just copying magazine angle, round presentation angle, and feed ramp angle because there's no reason to fuck with things that work.
3d printed AK receiversit'd be cool to have a $500 Polish parts AK but not if I have to redo it every thousand rounds
>>61653360>Not him but from what I understand early pioneer arms AK's made from Polish parts used to have a lot of QC issues and or wore out fasterPioneer is a shit company that makes their stuff in Poland, but they are a far cry from "Polish AK quality". When someone says a former soviet country makes good AKs, they're talking about the old former soviet arms manufacturers (FB Radom, Cugir, FEG, Zastava). These plants pump out good parts and good guns, at least generally speaking. Hammer forged parts, correct welding, riveting, chrome lining, etc. It's all soviet spec.Pioneer on the other hand is not a former soviet military arms manufacturer. Instead, they use cheap parts, have cheap QC, cheap cheap cheap. You are not getting a good quality AK for the prices Pioneer offers. Even PSA makes better AKs than them. If you look at WBP, which is also in Poland, they are not a former arms manufacturer BUT they do make their 7.62 AKs to correct soviet spec and they use FB Radom's high quality, cold hammer forged and chrome lined barrels.tl;dr when someone says "polish quality" they mean FB Radom lol.
>>61653883but pioneer is based out of radom!?! They are a legitimate company!
>>61653922yeah dont get me started on how they plaster that fucking name on every square inch of the box it comes in. Legitimately gross.
>>61651446>>61652829>>61653418>>61653532Theoretically, 3d printed weapons are for firing once and claiming a better weapon off of whoever you ambushed. Everything they do better than that is just a bonus.
>>61653418It's cool, and work on one AK pattern gun may yield interesting projects in the future. I think a better example are the MP5 variants and P90s. The MP5s genuinely have some advantages over the factory models: they're way lighter. The P90s are mostly just cheaper right now, but there's some work being done to develop a 9mm variant so they don't cost such a ridiculous amount to take to the range.

what does /k/ think of this guy
>>61654031
>>61650472>>61651508>Nathan Bedford Forrest (died 1877)>Neo-Nazi (a spinoff of an ideology that was founded in Germany in 1920 that itself only came into being after the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945)Leave and never come back nigger.>>61653869Based>>61653932While that is true, the time to do that was in 1861. By 1862, Maryland was firmly under the Union's yoke and everyone who opposed it was either in jail or had fled and joined the Confederate Army.
>>61653869Even as a yank I still appreciate and honor confederates. The people on /pol/ are all brown and their ancestors are ellis islanders or who came in the 1980s. Most real seethe is from people whose family came 120 years after the war.
>>61654248I think highly of you and your ancestors as well.The South had never been humbled before and I'm glad that it was your ancestors that finally did it and not some other nation. Your people have always been just and pragmatic and you displayed those qualities to us afterwards.
>>61654248>>61654564Autism. This wasn't a war about honor, and it wasn't two different peoples. The South and the North were brothers. And the North betrayed and destroyed them. Humbled? How can you call "reconstruction" just a humbling?
Do gun marketers call plastic stuff "polymer" because it sounds better?
>>61647919Possibly, but its not a lie. Polymer is just a repeating atomic chain, wood and rubber are both polymers. Calling it polymer is just an umbrella term that covers all your bases.
>>61647919It's actually made of nylon which would sound horrible in promotional materials.
>>61648476best answer itt
>>61647919Sure, why not?Do you own a firearm?
>>61647919This has always bugged me. It's all marketing and stupid people eat it up. "Polymer" sounds more space age than plastic, nylon, glass reinforced nylon, etc., which sound cheap. Same reason they say "synthetic stock" instead of "plastic stock" and "alloy" instead of aluminum. It's amazing how many gun owners don't see through that shit.
Have you completed any advanced military training?
