Poland has 96 Apaches on order, while some number of them was needed to replace Mi-24s, buying that many is widely considered a retarded political purchase here and a waste of money that would be better spent on combat jets and transport helos. That being said what can be done to mitigate the losses at this point? Both current and previous governments won't renegotiate the contract.
>>65497006They are using them in Hormuz extensively
>>65497006Apaches weren't designed for combat in wide open spaces. Their main purpose was for fighting soviet armor pushes via hiding just beneath tree top height with sensor cluster exposed then popping up to throw a hellfire at them then disappear beneath the canopy again. They rely on concealment to be effective.

>>65498122The Marianas Campaign included the largest naval air battle of all time and several amphibious assaults. Okinawa saw over half a million American ground troops committed, in addition to a massive fleet and colossal amount of aircraft. I forgot to include it, but the retaking of the Philippines saw over a million American troops and the largest naval battle in history by displacement. Oh, and there was that time the still very raw and inexperienced Americans and the British collaborated to take 350k Axis prisoners in Tunisia.
Holy fuck this looks cool

>>65500352We have good reason to belive that 92G definitely was real and in the military. He posted a picture waiting for his dd214. Everything about his final months and backstory was documented and discussed. He even comes around once in a while to enforce or give the backend of something that might be being discussed. Such as >>65496179
>>65500551But if 92G isn't Robert, that means Robert really does exist! We can't ever let that be true because then it would mean everything said about Robert is true, especially the embarrassing backstory of why he is here
Frankly, I think it's hilarious that Robert has no choice but to eventually start posting in the new thread that wasn't created by him because he was buckbroken enough times to know that his threads get deleted.

>>65498157Image limit reached. I’ll try and come up with something new for next time. I’ve just been posting stuff I have on my phone.
>>65498481Sure. It's great to have more historical photos from the 1940s of these aircraft for discussion
Do you guys like the 5.45 or is 7.62 superior? 5.45 is a smaller round with less kick but it has less recoil and is more controllable. 7.62 packs a greater hit but has greater recoil also. To clarify, by 7.62 i mean 7.62x39mm, not 7.62x51mm. and by 5.45 i mean 5.45x39 also.
>>65496681>5.56 fragments often when meeting a barrierit doesn't. it only fragments in liquids so unless your barrier is a human shield, it won't.
>>65497990Sure, I should clarify - I'm wondering why they'd include ".02" in the name when it's common to round the name of the cartridge to the nearest tenth or even whole millimeter
>>654823475.45x39 runs out of gas versus armor real quick. The premier AP load, 7N39, lacks authority against many Level IV or DSTU-6 plates fielded by the Ukrainians. Stiletto Systems has a more potent BS5 77gr tungsten AP but it's unproven.q7.62x39 has larger potential core mass so it can run a beefier tungsten penetrator than those same plates can defeat.
I prefer 7.62x39 just because I find it more fun to shoot.
>>65497082SEO, unironically.There are about 9000 different cartriges called "6mm" and exactly one called "6.02" so the chances of someone fucking up and ordering the wrong thing are slightly lower.
What more do you need?

chest rig, bandolier, side saddle, flashlight, sling (I like the surplus AK ones), plenty of 00buck shot, lots of target shell and range time, high-vis front bead, cleaning kit, eh maybe some slugs if you want a variety of shell options.
>>65493363full power at minimum should be a .308, preferably a .300 winmag so you have authority versus hard body armor, especially if you reload M2AP or can source the real hard tungsten .300win Swiss P AP.M2AP at 3,350 gets you through most Level IV plates with the exception of about a dozen specialty models.
>>65498201killing/stopping an animal is different than hunting it, you want to get a clean, quick kill to make sure the animal doesn't dump a bunch of adrenaline into the meatit's the same principle behind kosher slaughter (ideally, cut the animal's carotid artery and make sure the animal never sees the knife) versus strangling the animal to deathand yes there are plenty of 5.56 loads that can do that to an animal just fine if they hit the heart or brainstem, but these laws were mostly written in the 1950s or earlier.
>1998>red dotI know they existed and were used during black hawk down 5 years prior and umbrella would have the resources to give their guys red dots, but the gun decisions in RE2make and 3 make are really soulless. Kind of weird how they made all the guns in 2make and 3make modern but they made like half of the guns in 9 unreasonably retro for 2026. A beretta M1934 for a "standard issue" handgun for security, a sig 232 for concealed carry in 2018 or 2026. I guess the Uzi must have been in Racoon City since at least 1998, but BSAA using a M1A over a SCAR or AR-10/AR308 is weird, I've never seen an M1A get through an entire high power match without malfunctioning. Also kind of weird that Victor had a Winchester Model 70 sitting in his office that in theory could be as old as the first game since it's from a 1992-2006 production run. Grace joins REmake Claire in being very /k/. RE2make Claire was open carrying a revolver Chris must have bought her because, presumably what ever state racoon city is in lets 18 year olds OC but only 21+ get a ccw. The Sig 232's description in RE9 said Grace spent her first paycheck on it for self defense

I've had this idea in mind for a couple years to make modern shotgun barrels for older models (Ithaca 37, Auto-5, etc.) so they could use steel shot and have changeable chokes. Any thoughts on this?
>>65493760If you could make good aftermarket Beretta barrels with Steelium Plus and Steelium Pro type tapered bores, there's probably a market. Paying Beretta $1200+ dollars for a freakin spare/replacement shotgun barrel is nuts.Also making overbore barrels for 12ga 3½ supermagnum shotguns - except for a couple of Mossberg models, these guns are underbore for the loads they shoot. Mossberg was right to give their 3½ 12ga a 10ga bore.
Being able to shoot ducks with steel shot in a Remington Model 31 or a vintage Winchester Model 12 would be awesome.
>>65493448No.Ideas are bad.Ideas lead to thoughts and thoughts cause problems.
browning bps is essentially an ithaca made in japan
>>65497993Not anymore - they stopped making them multiple years ago.Last I checked the new Ithaca still makes the 37, but they're very expensive for a pump shotgun.
