Israel can't take over Gaza and purge out the pop or even take south of Lebanon, Russia can't take over the full donbass even after years and not Even russians want to move there, US is scared of boots on ground in Irán since don't have full confidence they can make it.Is war of conquest a failure nowdays? What did you guys think it happend? For exemple during ww2 Germany achive to move more germans to conquered zones in eastern europe or Japan to move japaneses people to manchuria, but now seems that can't be done anymore.
>>65420382>waaahh, that’s genocide! >waaahh, you can’t just slaughter your fellow *human beingsUhmm… the Jews are bad because…they are stopping genocide and have respect for humanity? Why are they bad again?
>>65426275>The israelis actively launched coups, terrorism, and outright annexation of their Arab neighborsFTFY
>>65426845Now name some things that actually happen.

>>65426832US is definitely not ready for a ground invasion. We’d need to 5-10x our military in terms of boots to successfully occupy and keep the peace and that would almost unquestionably mean a draft. No one wants to get drafted to go to Iran for… some general outcome we aspire for? No tolls I guess? Not a great reason to be forced to leave my job and family.Best strategy at the moment is hope we can hurt their economy more than ours and last longer but Americans don’t want to deal with this anymore and Iran is happy to play whack a mole indefinitely even if everything goes to shit.
I heard many times that Battle of Yonkets from World War Z was written pretty badly and i would agree, even knowing it was fiction and i should overlook it but i couldn't because us military acted too retarded in that battle. How would you change it so biggest us military fail in war against zombies looked more believable. or would you scrap it and replace it with different scenario?
>>65415975>Russians>Raping womenNot very believable tbqhwyf. I'm sure there would be lots of rape but I doubt the repopulation would go as well as planned.
>>65427203>you can't have a handwave while also writing extensively about how the handwave works in a way that is heavily grounded with realityso you find the entire SF genre not up to your requirements for believability, that's alrightlots of readers do, for the past hundred years of popular fiction
>>65428034>so you find the entire SF genre not up to your requirements for believability, that's alright>lots of readers do, for the past hundred years of popular fictionDescribing a fantastical technology that may or may not be possible is different than a "virus" that magically reanimates the dead and turns them into killing machines that don't need to breath and are invulnerable to any attack that doesn't hit them in the head for some fucking reason.
>>65428209Don't forget they get all the benefits of being dead as they don't need to breathe and their coagulated blood makes them immune to shock, but don't worry about how they power their muscles. The trick with writing far out scifi is leaving some things unspoken and working around it with the bits you do want to speak about. Just don't bring that bit up! Maybe the humans don't know how they function and we're not sure. But then you confirm that, yup, they don't breathe and their blood doesn't move. This is not a good thing. You're answering simple questions with things that beg more incredulous questions.
>>65428209>Describing a fantastical technology that may or may not be possiblethere is no "may or may not", dipshit, so far as we know FTL is magic, period>a "virus" that magically reanimates the dead and turns them into killing machines that don't need to breath and are invulnerable to any attack that doesn't hit them in the head for some fucking reasonart thou mad? tis long past mortal ken that man shouldst extend the span of life fourscore and more years upon this earth! nay, methinks this necromancer consorteth with demons, whence camest this unnatural long-livedness! burn this sorceror at the stake!you may find zombies unbelievable, but many were happy to suspend disbelief enough that WWZ was actually a popular and much-demanded sequel to ZSGadmittedly, both our lines of reasoning may be fallacious, but on the fallacy hierarchy, appeal to popularity trumps your personal incredulity every time>>65428231>Just don't bring that bit up!lolevery single FTL SF media brings it up. readers and viewers just all agree not to question too deeply.Comment too long.

Except the mandatory AKs being inaccurate, mine is don't drop a pistol slide on an empty barrel because the gun will blow up and get damaged by doing what it does every single time it shoots anyway
>>65428114STG was famous for this, it was stamped out of whatever sheet metal was available and was designed to last about one or 2 missions then get replaced
>>65426004The fucking .50 cal FM calls out this fuddlore as bullshit, but nobody hardly ever sits down and actually reads the goddamn thing, so this just keeps getting recycled. My own platoon sergeant tried to say this was true, but in what fucking world can you tell a war crimes tribunal all about your dumb semantic loophole and they'll just throw their hands up and say "golly gee, you're just too clever for us, off you go, then!"
>>65426158Semi-subtle b8
>>65428180There was a standard for the metal used, it simply may or may not have been chucked right out the window to meet production figures.I'm simply amused at how many have lasted as long as they have, considering the garbage they have been fed post WW2.
>>65426158What is the best carry option varies by individual but for some people a revolver is the best option. Most civilian involved self defense shootings are ended with six or less shots. The higher the count goes the rarer the scenario becomes. For most people it won't be necessary to carry more than one reload worth of ammo for self defense. And all calibers can be effectively used for self defense so long as the shot placement is accurate. That doesn't mean that something like .22 or .25 is the optimal choice, but they're better than nothing and can be deadly. The biggest factor in a person's favor is their level of preparation and training. A expert with a small caliber pistol has the edge on someone carrying a large caliber that they can't hit the broadside of a barn with.
So does a SBS have any strategic advantages other than weight and maneuverability that a full 20” barrel doesn’t? For example- say you have a 14” memewave, and a 20” 870 or 590. Would have any less velocity, or any more spread with the 14” barrel where you would’ve been much better off with a 20” barrel?I wish Paul Harrel would’ve made a video on this.
>>65428183>Would have any less velocityOne woud tend to imagine that a longer amount of time with higher pressure pushing behind it would tend to result in higher veocity. There will be a limit ofc to how fast you can get it...>or any more spread with the 14” barrelOne would tend to imagine the more turns it's forced to make the faster it will be spinning on exit, hopefully resulting in more uniform trajectories. But again, there will be limits...Shouldn't the question be ' Is this 14" barrel gonna be *good enough* for what I want to do '?Are you advantaged by the reduction in weight and increase in mobiity more than you are disadvantaged by aquiring it? Pretty sure the answer to thattun situation dependant, and outside of a few edge cases both options functionally identical to the end user.
>>65428183Notraining question.
>>65428200Oh, you're talkin' splattergun? Well, sans rifling barrel length will severely adjust spread over distance. But that should really be obvious. Erryfink else: Same rewls apply
>>65428210So longer barrel with a shotgun still equals better?>>65428205What if my shotgun doesn’t have rifling? Therefore the balls cannot turn.
>>65428205>>Would have any less velocity>One woud tend to imagine that a longer amount of time with higher pressure pushing behind it would tend to result in higher veocity. There will be a limit ofc to how fast you can get it...its approximately 5 fps per inchits almost insignificant.>>65428210>barrel length will severely adjust spread over distance.this is choke not barrel length. its wrongly correlated as shotguns get less accurate when sawed off cause the choke would be in the part of the barrel you cutoff. if its a double they were regulated at the front that you cut off so now the barrels are pointed in random directions. then it depends how nicely they did the cut. short doesnt mean spread increases.

At what point do you get diminishing returns for the amount of training someone receives? There's obviously not much benefit to training someone for combat from birth or else everyone would be doing it.

>>65426821Leadership roles would be fine, you need to know a lot about everything to be good at warfare and be adaptable.
>>65427863>I never thought about it, but how much of this would a knight actually do himself?They had people to do it for them unless they were quite poor but they also needed to know exactly how it worked and what to do if nobody else was there.
>>65427293Of course its relevant. When your whole purpose in life is to be in life and death situations its in your own interest to spend every space second in training to give your best chance of victory.
>>65426821this question has been answered by pretty much any country's boot camp system. In the U.S. you throw some mutt into a torture camp for a few months or something and then send that newly indoctrinated mentally broken idiot to some FOB where he can play catch with bullets with whoever the government doesn't like this week
I just like revolvers more
>>65421941I had two sides but I lost them in a tragic ylyl thread.
>>65423644500 bushwacker converted 10 inch BFR. The three inch brake adds some length, it’s an absolute monster of a round and you can still run regular 500 mag through it if you want lower power.. it’ll take a 510 gn hardcast up to about 2150 fps with the 10 inch barrel.. that things sweet anon, 410/45? Haven’t run into that specific one before.. is that the revolver shotgun cut down to be a “normal” revolver without the stock? Cool gun. Personally other than a mateba, the weird revolver gun I’d like to get is the lever action version of the circuit judge… it’s like someone asked chat gpt to make a “Wild West gun” lol
At less than ten yards out of a 2" barrel, is the ballistic difference between .357mag and .38+p completely negligible?>>65423644 (checked)This guy fucks.

I wish they made the 627 in blued steel
Pile in and post shotguns, frens.
>>65427223>mixed wood and polymer furniture>red anodized part accenting the lookSomething about this look just does it for me. Something about the old-meets-new look captures how I feel "cyberpunk" should look to me, without resorting to speed lines and barcodes on every-fucking-thing. How do you like your shotgun, anon?
>>65427223Seems like a lotta fun taking a shotgun into the woods.
>>65427260>How do you like your shotgun, anon?Real fun. I built it from scratch, started with one spring and kept adding pieces from there. It's a straight pull, combined the receiver for a semi with the barrel from a pump, has no gas system. Can fire it as fast as a pump with practice. 4+1+1 capacity.
>>65426364I don't think we'll ever have action stars like Arnie or JCVD again. The Street Fighter movie spawned multiple lawsuits because JCVD was actually kicking the shit out of stuntmen because he was doing all of the cocaine that Stephen King hadn't already hoarded for himself.
Guys is 10 gauge even worth it as a meme? Some part of me desperately wants the "fuck you stick. "

Atomic bombs aside, what was the second-best means the US had to force a Japanese surrender in 1945?Say the Manhattan Project got its funding held up by a few years, or Little Boy and Fat Man were both duds, or the Japanese leadership gets its moderates purged by another coup and they steadfast refuse to surrender, what's Plan B? Blockade Japan? Invade Japan? Use biological and chemical weapons on a massive scale? Secretly agree to serious concessions while maintaining the public fiction of "unconditional surrender" (which is kinda what happened anyway in reality)? Gamble on Soviet entry into the war being enough to force a surrender anyway?
>>65402496Starvation
>>65402496I would say that 1000 fire bombs dropped in a campain equal a nuke and they had alot more than 2000 fire bombs.Nukes were hard to make, fire bombing was actually number one and nukes number 2, it was just the prospect that we could produce way more nukes that got them to quit.
>>65402496Rice is a grassThe original Roundup (agent orange) was invented in 1945.You can stick a lot of Roundup in a bomber or even a fighter.
>>65402496There wasn't any -- the invasion was already a go. Our guys landed exactly when and where they were supposed to; it's just that nobody was shooting at them.

With the proliferation of FRTs, does it mean that PCCs would become viable again? They're much more controllable in full aut... forced reset trigger mode than 5.56 guns, and nobody even with armor will be able to stand upright after taking 30rnds of 9mm onto the chest
>>65423867Every urban and suburban area in nearly all red states are democratic hellholes, fags like you always want others to take the risk and will constantly shill for others to use frt's to illegal dias's but seldomly ever follow what you preach. >>65423872Because it's 10% better in most areas and that's worth the price for home self defense, you can get them in the same form factor as a pcc as OP asked about and it's only plusses besides price. If you have only a handgun, then yeah 45acp is good for you.
>>65423322just keep a spare trigger if you're this neurotic about it
>>65423213no we're skipping to magnetically propelled one pound slugs made of "real fuckin dense steel"™ going relativistic speeds
>>65423867No, FRTs are more prone to breaking and have reliability issues compared to regular full auto packs. This isn’t even up for debate
>>65423213So I've heard numerous guntubers say, but apparently only the MP5 is worth bothering with. Nothing else comes close to being as controllable.
