Now that the dust has settled... Its time to apologize. Join me in an apology for a pistol was betrayed by its country despite its years of service.. A perfect embodiment of the GWOT era. Dear Beretta, we regret replacing you with cheap malfunctioning trash. Dear Beretta, we apologize for feeding you with substandard magazines which caused failure to feed issues. Dear Beretta, we regret mocking your lack of modularity despite 99% of troops never actually putting modular crap on their service pistol. Dear Beretta, we apologize for saying you were too big for womens hands, we realize now that women should never have been in the military or even the workplace. Dear Beretta, the weight of our transgressions stays our /k/ feet. We do not wish to be left behind. Amen.To all men listening now, this week, head to your local sports and outdoor and purchase a Beretta M92 variant. Clean it, train with it, learn its functions and maintenance as your own, it will take care of you as well. But do not apologize, as we have all apologized in solidarity here today. Comment too long.

Why didn't soviets develop their own 6.5 ammo so they could continue producing Fedorov?
>>64652748If you do manage to reproduce, any "Russian" cultural aspect or Russophone knowledge of your line will still evaporate from your kids. Russia will still die at your point in the line.
>>64653680I laffed. This war is as funny as it is morbid because of the internet and meme culture.
>>64653811anon I want you to pull up just about any full-power rifle cartridge from pre-1900you'll find maybe a handful of cartridges that fit your definitionyou are a certified actual retard for comparing a cartridge made in 2003 vs a cartridge made 106 years prior
>>64653734>Same bullet weight, same pressure, same action lengthExcept it isn't, why are you lying
>>64652342They already had a gorillion rounds of 6.5 Jap in inventory, and by the sounds of it, the Fedarov was kinda meh anyways.

>>64660296Read the SF86 linked in the OP, sections 21-24 (iirc) deal with psychiatric history. The tl;dr is that if you were never committed, declared mentally incompetent, diagnosed with sociopathy or schizophrenia, or court-ordered to an institution or psychiatric care, you're probably fine.
>>64660328>never committed>never schiz/socio>never court ordered just highly recommended by the school for psychiatryMan I really hope so. I should have never gone on anti depressants. I was just a low impulse control kid who didnt understand the weight of my words.
>>64660359Do note that the questions are only for adjudicating a clearance. MEPS has different requirements and will care a lot more about your psychiatric history, regardless of whether you were committed or not, than the CAF or OPM will.
>>64660365Just so I'm clear, I have the report and the initial page says I had suicidal thoughts but no plan, which is true.My past kid self is nothing like the man I am today.It sounds like it will be a goddamn miracle if I make it through though.
>>64660359>>64660387You might have to go back to the original psychiatrist who diagnosed you years ago and get him to write an official letter saying you’re good to go and not suicidal or anything. You also might have to get letters of recommendation from your previous bosses saying you’re a good worker and have a good attitude or whatever.
It doesn't seem like it happens anymore
>>64660053>that whole fucking letterThis retard deserved execution purely for his stupidity alone
>>64659842My co fled to hide at his parents house during rona. He got promoted and posted to Ottawa if that counts.
>>64660053>>64660089If he was honestly too scared and couldn't will himself to fight, and just showed integrity by repeatedly incriminating himselfdoes he really deserve to die?
>>64660398Yeah. It's like the bit from Starship Troopers (the novel not movie) where the recruit private (forget his name) that socked Zim was given every out to avoid incriminating himself but he just doubled down until the disciplinary action grew legs and was beyond the control of the officers in charge.
>>64660398Deserters aren't executed to punish the severity of their offense, they're executed to discourage other soldiers from deserting. In many cases in war, it is necessary to send a unit into battle that you know is going to suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out, and it is important to the broader outcome of the battle that they continue to resist the enemy as long as possible even if they're doomed. If you punish desertion with anything less than death, most soldiers would just desert in the face of a hopeless situation, and the enemy would overrun their positions to the detriment of the war effort.
Why do they need that big anchor, and also a plank?
There's>the right way>the wrong way>the Army wayI was told this by a buddy in the army years ago. I assume they still operate the same way
>>64653460Ok, I'm going to be the retarded one to actually ask the question. Seems like it's not under much tension if he can just haul it back without a snatchblock. Is the concern that the cwire will uncurl? I would assume it would be just like clipping a stretched slinky.
>>64652087One man gets the anchor, the second, OSB.When the first is tugged, the second man takes the plywood and flops!
>>64652419Because for training they only use a single wire, if they are stacked in layers of 3-5 like we see in Ukraine then you can't just lay the plank on top and walk over it. It's just to not waste excessive resources during training.
>>64658739Those are marines, an 11B or army engineer wouldn't throw that anchor so pathetically
That brief intermediate of paper or metal cartridges with an external priming source. My favorite bit of esoteric weaponry.
>>64657070Did you read my mind and started a musket thread? I was just going to post something. Basically I’ve started actually reading historical books on the revolutionary war. Now I’m getting interested in muskets. What would be a budget friendly repro from that time period that I could learn with or research?
>>64657091I remember reading somewhere about a group of frontiersmen who went into gold panning. They used the barrels of their old Hawken rifles as pry bars when they bought Sharps rifles.
>>64657074Love me some slanty boys.
AlcoholTobacco& firearms Post em, faggots
>>64660060Well if your buddy brought them back from Cuba then they're legit. Unfortunately fake labels and "a guy I know in Miami' are fooling a lot gullible people.Never had a Cuban. How is she? Pic related, the most expensive cigar I've got in my humidor at the moment.
>>64658519Damn Bulleit is good but one time I ordered a Bulleit and coke and felt like a faggot.
Stopped drinking a month ago but my defecations still look like miscarriages.
Old but it's what I've got.
It's called soul. Some have it, others don't.
All the time, I hear "it's really difficult to invade islands using weapons." But Japan invaded like every island in the Pacific except Hawaii and Australia, and obviously succeeded just fine, and the US later did the same to Italy. Why was this the case?
>>64660351>THIS TIME the UN will do something against the errant permanent security council memberSure pal.
>>64656095>every island in the Pacific >except Hawaii and Australia,Alert, alert!! Australia is now an island!
>>64656095It's good to remember in the whole Pacific war, the only amphibious invasion to turn back to rethink the plan was Wake island, after that the planners made damn sure everything went to the book the necessary men and materiel needed.
>>64660371>The UNOhohoho, now that's a good laff. Yes, you are correct that you can basically just ignore whatever finger wagging those ineffectual pencil pushers dare to muster up the courage to do. But I suppose it's merely a coincidence that the US is basically telling Europe to kick rocks and moving 99% of their military to the Pacific? Perhaps they're worried Japan is going to decide to try Pearl Harbor 2? Surely the US is just going to sit around and watch as China tries to steal their semiconducto- I mean, uh, sovereign ally's rightful clay?
>>64656095The US nuked Japan so they wouldn't have to deal with the difficulty of invading the mainland.
How did he and his friends manage to beat the US military with some shitty norincos and sks?
>>64657027Because every generation of American soldier after Korea have been massive pussies. It's pretty embarrassing to think how badly we got defeated in Vietnam and the middle East and it's 100% the fault of every pussy soldier and marine that couldn't get the job done (eg all of them).
>>64657056chang
>>64657027Because we never invaded his home for fear of escalation with China like 15 years earlier. It’s embarrassing but we should forgive ourselves and them. It’s far in the past and marxism will die in our lifetime.
>>64658721>Chinese invasion from the north.I mean that sounds like the fears of the US were merited and the CCP absolutely would have lied and said the chink conquest into Vietnam had been a noble defense against the imperialist US
>>64657027>beat the US military These normie memes have to stop.
>Belligerents: Roman Empire | British tribes (Iceni and allies)>Commanders and leaders: Gaius Suetonius Paulinus | Boudica>Strength: ~10,000 (legions and auxiliaries) | 100,000–230,000>Casualties and losses: ~400 killed, similar number wounded | ~80,000 killedHow does this happen?
>>64655886Boudicca focused more on slaughtering unarmed native brits instead of organizing an actual army
>>64655886No special tricks, the Romans just got in a position where they couldn't get flanked or surrounded and then stood there until they got sick of getting killed and ran away. The Iceni were so confident because of their overwhelming numbers that they eschewed any tactics at all, and even brought their families along to watch.
>>64655886Women in command
>>64655886There might be the slightest possibility the Romans sometimes inflated their kill counts and how overwhelmingly outnumbered they were. Just maybe highly populated and developed areas like the Roman Empire and Mediterranean in general were better able to raise and use manpower than the British Isles.
>>64655886Bloodiest day of British history btw.
I've got a tx22 toro with FRT and it'll run everything unsuppressed. Once I put the can on, it absolutely will not run. I even bought the weighted backplate and a lighter spring. I've tried high velocity, cci subsonic, cci quiet semi auto and cci quiet. With and without factory recoil spring.It will fire, extract, eject and load the next round into the chamber but the trigger is dead every time. When I rack the slide a live round comes out. When I take the can off, it runs like a scalded dog.
>>64660067get a different can/put a red dot on it
Maybe the shitty plastic and pot metal autoloading pistol made in a sweatshop firing a shitty cartridge from the 19th century wasn't meant to function as a suppressed machine pistol?
>>64660412Doubt. I saw a ripping video with a skinny gay guy prancing around shooting gangsta style! It does rip.
This is the largest ever arms package to Taiwan.Of this $11B, $4B will go towards 82 HIMARS launchers and 420 ATACMS. The ATACMS has more than enough range to hit all the ports and factories in Fujian, and can hit ports in Quanzhou and Guangdong.>The proposed arms sale covers eight items, including HIMARS rocket systems, howitzers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Altius loitering munition drones and parts for other equipment, Taiwan's defence ministry said in a statement.Anduril also copped a win with $1.1B for their ALTIUS drones. PrSM production isn't nearly fast enough yet (400/y) to fill in the gap by the shrinking ATACMS stockpile so the fact that they're being sold to Taiwan means business.
>>64653226>anyone got the jav code for this one?If you find it, keep it to yourself. I'd hate to gouge out my eyes but I might not be able to resist morbid curiosity.
>>64653701>The US starts 99% of all wars globally
>>64657096To me she almost looks like pic related but older and tan.
>>64653822>What would be the guoyu equivalent for Based, Basiert, Basado, and so forth?NTA unless it's already been translated then you'd need to decide what your priorities are in choosing a translation. Aesthetic? Literal meaning? Proverbial meaning? Meme value?I like 踏實 but it's not a meme, it just means grounded/sensible/calm.
>>64660311>4 trianglesThose are clearly NGADs, they're just high up keeping CAP over the rocket artillery.
tactical implications?
>>64659472
>>64658971
>>64657305>Build vehicle around a big ass gun>Never ever EVER, EVER ever shoot it because it can cause this to the dismounts it was supportingNo wonder it's shit. Other militaries, like Italy, France, used wheeled guns fine. American doctrine was just retarded because they gave it to mechanized infantry who didn't know how to utilize it or were attached to NCOs that didn't allow them to.Can't really even call it a training issue more of a policy/doctrine issue.
Huh
How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64659601He's the artist of the furry pieces I was asked about there, OHS688 is his twitter name, (maybe on furaffinity it's something different?), apologies if that was unclear
>>64659848Eat shit faggot, what do you want a fucking dissertation? There is a character limit. An career activist who provides no physical evidence of his claimed which are based entirely on biased testimonials of interested parties means shit. I'm a genocidal white nationalist, I wish that the colonialists exterminated local populations like my own forefathers did despite the Crown and Republic obstructing us at every turn. Unfortunately the colonial authorities and conquistadors directly opposed that policy. They wanted money, while some colonists themselves benefit from eliminating the local population which generates wealth for distant elites. We all have biases, but I don't even want to defend colonialism because my desired policies were a thousand times more harsh than whatever delusions a bunch of political activists gave credence to. I just like war, if the local darkies were peaceable victims I'd actually think less of them than I already do.
>>64634477This is scholarly cope to find politically correct explanations for how 500 mercenaries could kill 50,000 South Americans in a plain after losing their artillery.
>>64636184>yeah we always lose 50:1 against the Spanish but is not fair, our weapons are for show and their weapons are for killing. Too bad we can’t manage to invent real weapons over the entire campaignCope.
