>>64886602let's go back to the original claim being made and explain how your post debunks itthe claim being that you need manned ships so they can get shot at and have crewmen killed so you can then get congress to declare war.if the US is currently blockading Venezuela without approval by congress. then the US can carry out acts of war without approval by congress. hence you don't need to put men in harms way to get approval by congress in order to carry out acts of war, fight a war. you don't even need approval by congress to go into said country, bomb military installations and kidnap/ arrest it's sitting civilian leader and his wife.the US isn't blockading Venezuela, it's enforcing sanctions against Venezuela. you can get on a ship and sail to and from Venezuela without any issue. provided you aren't carrying any sanctioned (or illegal) cargo.now sanctions enforcement is a whole other can of worms and would take us very off topic.
>>64886616>just EMP it browith what? and how are you going to board it, sack it and get away with it without being noticedbecause doing so would cross several thresholds for a kinetic response. if the chinks think you won't do shit if they EMP your ships what to stop them from simply EMPing you manned ships? is the crew going to manually acquire, lock, track and engage aerial or naval targets targetswill they send out distress calls and send out evidence that they are being attacked by the chinese by shouting it very, very loudly?
>>64886616Wouldn't most electronic systems on a ship be resistant or immune to EMP on account of the ship's metal hull effectively forming a faraday cage?
>>64886826Why are you entertaining the retardation of a brown ESL who unironically thinks EMPs are a thing and that having a crew is the difference in stopping hostile action or not?

Why did they make the Leo 2A4 look like a modern Tiger? It must have been on purpose, right?

I’m interested in buying a nice piston rifle in 5.56. What is the best piston rifle on the market right now?I’m interested in the MCX, but I’m open to other options if there is anything better. I’ll probably go 11.5 because it will permanently have a suppressor
>>64885303That's awesome, you literally just picked the first negative video you could find about it, skimmed through until you found the accuracy test, and posted the first number where they got a bad batch of training ammo (113gr nonetheless) and closed it before they said the next batch they tested gave them 2 MOA.The fact you are allowed to buy a gun let alone vote is frightening

Interesting video from a guy doing actual work in Ukraine explaining his rifle setup, some of the interesting highlights towards the end of the vid he explains that zigger body armor regularly fails to stop 5.56 and 5.45 rounds. I also know from another channel on YouTube that dives into Russian gear that a lot of Russians are now running Chinese plates so there could be a correlation there: Some Chinese plates rated to level III+ and IV may not be all they are cracked up to be.
>>64886427>Terminal ballistics of M855 out of a short barrel through a BR3+ all-PE plate are probably shit, hence the issue you describe.makes senseinteresting stuff though, thanks
>>64885867The guy who replaced his plates with a looted Mac Book
>>64885927Which is why you parrot leftie talking points
>>64886432Glad to help. Pic related is the current "state of the art" for Russian body armor. Note that this does not reflect the state of play for their regular dudes (not even remotely, they've often got cardboard and sheet metal you can bend with your hands) and is more an indication of what the very best units are running in terms of plates.
>>64885463Those pictures are Ukrainian, yes.
Will Large Scale 3D printing be used more in defense manufacturing?
>>64884403>https://www.nasa.gov/missions/station/iss-research/3d-printing-saving-weight-and-space-at-launch/>article about concepts and fucking around with 3d printing IN SPAAAAAAAAACE>no mention of actual realized weight savingsJFC I hate clickbait. That having been said, when it costs upward of $1000 per lb. to get something into orbit, the idea of printing a tool out of filament, then turning the tool back into filament makes a certain amount of sense. Down here on planet Earth though (where the vast majority of production takes place, both defense related and otherwise), it's simply a slower way to make a more expensive tool and generally lower quality tool. I'd classify this with my earlier assessment of hobby use, rapid prototyping, and niche applications.
>>64882906Why do you make this assertion?CAD merely designs the geometry, the step one after having an idea. The behavior using the geometry like the strains and movement given forces has to be analysed by mathematical model (simulation) and prototyped by physical model (test), which ever cost the least for the most fidelity and truthfulness for the stage, and each successful stage ramp up the standard and budget. Eventual goal is to produce physical objects in high volume for mad bucks for years. Perfect FEA cannot rule out the false premise given to it and FEA by itself cannot test its own logic.
>>64883961Pretty sure you can, but it's a bit harder than with steel. There's some alchemy and the occasional blood sacrifice involved.
>>64882083I sure want to see the price of small boats going down, hell I would love to have money to setup a operation and start making cheaper boats for the small guy.Making rich people stuff affordable for poor people is always a gigantic market
>>64884416I mean either high quantity or just large parts.I'm doing a Uni project on this topic (well a tangentially related one involving printing) at the moment. The tl;dr from most papers is that below 50 units (we are talking for small parts here) 3D printers offer a lower per unit cost than injection moulding or similar. I can't remember the exact numbers for SLS metal vs CNC machining but I think it was similar. CNC costs rapidly drop with multiple parts whilst SLS is pretty much constant per unit cost no matter how many you make (since the cost is 90% materials rather than jigs, tooling, machine operation etc).For larger stuff most of the cost of 3D printing is materials. Ship production is already an extremely mature process and it's one of those situations where because it's so big 3D printing actually takes similar time to making it normally except with much worse physical properties (3D printing via any method is pretty much always weaker than normal methods) and expensive materials/finnicky tooling.>>64883236This is effectively the use of printing in naval industry. Stuff breaks on ships all the time and half the time it's made by a company that hasn't existed for decades. >>64883432It's not about replacing anything but complementing it. Things like seals (except gaskets) can't be manufactured easily with the workshops and if something like a pump gets clogged and breaks the parts inside aren't always convenient geometries.>>64883743You can just do this with sheet metal fabrication 99% of the time.Comment too long.

>There were repercussions for No's defection, according to Captain Lee Un-yong, a flight instructor with the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force who defected to South Korea two years after No. In the 1970s, General Wan-yong, the top commander of the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force, was demoted, and five of No's comrades and commanders in the air force were executed.

2nd time shooting in like 4 years. Also first time shooting muh new (to me) CZ po7. Love the little sucker. Distance is in feet, and also I was firing around a little over a round a second at the 75 ft groupings. I think I did well. Need to work on my trigger pull though.
use yards like a normal person, stop inflating numbers for your ego
>>64886114You're anticipating the gun firing and tensing while pulling the trigger. That's why you're moving higher and to the left the further you go out. Stop being a faggot and relax.

The people here saying frag will be the killer CONUS are hallucinating some kind of bomb-making capability that isn't endemic to the US. If clowns knew how to make bombs they would have tried to ambush ICE already with them.
>>64886082>If you live like this already then you can't afford plates or armor and should fucking move.You want people to move (which costs thousands unless you move in with family or skip town and leave everything behind) but are saying they can't afford plates? A bottom barrel but still workable pair (TitanXP, used Protech 2014Gs) is under $250. Add a Yakeda carrier, antifa approved, for $50 with pouches included on Amazon.
>>64886113Effective fragmentation attacks are usually carried out with captured military supplies. One crate missing in an armory could cause a lot of terror. If the ICE protestors were actual revolutionaries they'd be trying to raid National Guard armories that would carry military explosives.
>>64886193and they are not so the prime threat remains armed ruffians with ARPs and M855 that will clear IIIA like butter.Ergo, rifle threats CONUS are still supreme. Active shooters are rolling rifles. Gangbangers "rifles", preppers, rifles, crazy carl in the back, rifles.Soft armor isn't useless, it has major coverage advantages. But you need plates. A BALCS setup is excellent CONUS.
