>>64772139Well, the implication is that we are using a vacuum binefringing laser to pull positron pairs directly from the vacuum, so there is no intention of storing them. Also, in the presentation (an by Positronics Research LLC patents), that they are indeed storing non-trivial amounts of bound state positronium in magnetic and photonic bandgap traps. They even have a slide in the original presentation that shows some of the dewars being assembled at ORNL. If I was going to trap antimatter at a national lab, ORNL seems like a great place because the entirety of TVA serves as a backup generator to the lab. Always nice when your UPS has 3 hydroelectric dams and multiple nuclear power plants.

Alright /k/I’m working on a game that has you up against machine human hybrid soldiers that are heavily influenced by the following.>Strogg from Quake 2 and 4>Virus 1999>Borg from First ContactI should note there is no nanoprobes stuff for the Borg or Strogg.If you had the chance to arm the common soldier against these creatures, which can range from crabs that move around and collect materials, to humanoids built from the flesh of the fallen employing the same loadouts, to large tracked cyborgs that tower over humans and tear open doors and corridors like it’s nothing,what loadout would you give them, and why, to counter this?

>>64771428How do your cyborgs work? Do the implants function as backup organs that can keep the enemy gunning for longer so if they take enough damage they turn into robo-zombies? Are they like the Cybermen where there's so many implants they're virtually bulletproof save for weak spots? One thing I think would be neat is if each particular model of troop had vulnerable implants you could target to quickly disable them.

You already have a thread up >>64762634
It basically has every /k/ino gun I could ever want to shoot. Shame the enemies are bullet sponges and the weapon sounds are a bit weak.
>>64775698>RE4>/k/ approvedCome the fuck on!Even classic RE1-3 are more /k/ than 4, since they use real weapons and names.Excuse me while I post THE original Innawoods game ITT:
I love RE4, but how /k/ is it really? It's pretty standard action fare with its weapons, no particular emphasis on realism or real life operating.Pic related was a tactical and (relatively) realistic action game with a first person shooting segment, where you rescue hostages from terrorists occupying an embassy in France, and it predates Counter-Strike and Rainbow Six by a decade.
does it even make sense to not have a fighter jet HUD on every gun sight?
>>64768973that looks awful. all that cluttered bullshit would get you killed

>>64774208yep, hardly any changes at all.
>>64774208The javelin evolved in more interesting ways, from sharpened sticks to medieval fletched javelins with giant barbed heads.Fletched javelins are incredibly common in medieval art, almost as common as bows and swords, so they were likely common weapons of war and hunting.There were also later variants for use on horseback up into the 19th century in Asia.

Hello /k/, I am writing a story and would like some feedback please if my idea is feasible for a firearm. In the story a small number of people have to start out from scratch, they have their modern theorethical knowledge but nothing else. The goal is to make a firearm that is reliable and can take down big game. They are a couple years in, currently they can manufacture iron and low quantities high grade steel.Current constraints are the inability to manufacture mercury fulminate or lead azide nor can they draw thin-walled brass cartridges.My idea was they come up with an anachronistic rifle: single-shot, lever-actuated falling block action with a flintlock. .60 caliber, the barrel would be rifled, 32-inch long, for now wrought iron. Steel is used only for the mainspring and frizzen spring. For munition a paper cartridge. As far as I understand they would need to add a gas seal on the face of the block to mitigate leaks from the breech.Could you tell me how retarded is this for a first gun for a budding civilisation that needs force multipliers against megafauna? Feel free to suggest upgrades to be implemented at the start/down the line.
>>64770005>>64770049I plan on including primitive grenades before guns, hollow clay then bronze balls to be thrown, filled with jagged things. Thanks for your effortposts. The iron used in its base form as shot is clever.>>64770194Lathe is being worked on, I wanted to explore how could they make a functioning gun in what is basically a medieval smithy, they did it by hammer welding then finished the barrel with hand reamers. It is slow and wasteful but gave them invaluable epxerience working with iron, a psychological anchor and motivation to build a water mill powered lathe. The timeline is still quite fluid, I have only vague notions how the story would go. After the lathe is done the main block for proper cartridges would still be the chemical components required for primers, for a while.
>>64766072The idea of a breech loader predates metallic cartridge casings by centuries anon. The reason why it never took off in small arms prior to metallic cartridge casings is that there's really no other good way to do it. When humanity historically reached the point of technological development that you're talking about, they settled on the muzzle loading flintlock because that was the best way to do it under those constraints. This is unfortunately your best answer for this scenario.>>64770194Of what use would metallic cartridge cases be if primers aren't available?
So its just Doctor Stone. But with dinosaurs.
>>64772685Thanks for your feedback. I will make the first ones muzzleloaders then.>>64772904Basically, more city building and wrangling a sea of children as well.Additionally, should they bother with armor? I was entertaining the idea to make some sort of overlapping lamellar or scale armor for the ones heading out to expeditions or going into caves, would it be worth it? I apologize if this is off topic, just don't know where to ask, I do not think /lit/ is weapons savvy enough to be helpful.
>>64770194Probably like this:https://youtu.be/L7rG3TL0PTw>>64766072>more advancedIt took people a pretty long time to figure out Minié bullets, your guys would know about them already. Combined with a paper cartridge, they would give a flintlock rifle the reload speed of a smoothbore musket. Also reducing the number of grooves speeds up the rifling process while still keeping accuracy acceptable.

Do standard fortification and entrenching method counter onky artillery or also air strikes?
Not entirely, but it does significantly reduce their effective radius
>>64769203Alas, I am from binland. I had the sim system on. and heard a jet in the air. I hugged the ditch. The jet dropped a virtual bomb. The sim system told me an explosion had happened within 100m (it can't go any lower) But I was alive. For artillery it's much the same. I think the virtual bombs obliterate anything within their line of sight, so if you are in a ditch you are obscured/ lower in elevation, and only die from a direct hit. Didn't really matter since a few minutes later the enemy assaulted and I got my head blown off by a machine gun. But I delayed an entire enemy company for like 5 minutes all alone. In conclusion it's all laser tag basically and explosions are simulated/calculated in the simulation.
>>64768136No. Today you need machine dug trenches at speed, or they won't exist long enough to provide you the short term solution they are. They mitigate but no they don't counter anymore. It's more like the aircraft in revetment theory really.
>>64773726sorry about your head finanonif it's any consolation, i'd like to go out to a JDAM to the forehead
>>64773726I played airsoft as a kid and got my head removed by my brother's friend. The only reason that particular death stands out is because he popped out of ferns right in front of me. I think if a real war kicked off I'd be dead within 10 min but it's strangely comforting to think that.Now none of that was to say I should become a fat slob. I still train and want to be better.
Okay, now XJ you can send me money.
>>64775426Implessive posting
>>64775426EO/IR can see Albert degraded through the plasma sheat, higher radar frequency like Milimeter radar can pass through.Gps can pass through so you guide the missile in the general direction of the carrier, then have it manuever to lower temperature to increase accuracy.
>>64775459can you repeat that in english? I don't speak thirdie.
>>64775421>yes, if you slow down from hypersonic speeds you can see through the plasmaimplessive
>>64775459All that is gibberish to say the missile needs to slow down to interceptable speeds to see its target.
>The mujahideen numbered 1,000 according to Soviet intelligence or no more than 200 according to Afghan sources. They were armed only with antiquated rifles and had not constructed any defensive works, but laid mines on the only road.
I went to the Muncie gun show was not bad, they had a few guns some nice handguns kind of cheap 9 mm Sw for $250 with two mags I was going to buy it but I saw a rifle I wanted but the guy wouldn't come down in price. Ended up buying nothing and then a bunch of stoned black kids showed up and a black dude with a large scar on his face who was trying to buy a whole bunch of ARS and pistol variants. I might go back tomorrow just to see if someone's willing to make a deal I don't have much money
>>64766854Like, Muncie Indiana? That place sucks a dick, anon. Do you like live in Delaware county or something, or did you actually get in a vehicle and commute to Muncie?
>>64771530Is turkey good for you?
>>64775083Oooof. I grew up in Anderson right before the bottom fell out of Delaware and Madison counties. It used to unironically be a good place to live. I can't talk, I live in a nigger adjacent neighborhood in near East Indianapolis. Don't drink drive in Daleville or Yorktown, my cousin is a dick and he's high up in the Daleville PD.
>>64775291It's a weird place that used to be very nice then became very shitty, very quickly. NAFTA killed it. They used to make all kinds of automotive parts in Muncie. Now I don't even think Saint Gobain makes boxes there anymore, and I don't think Ball Corp has any presence in the city outside it's namesake Ball State. Do they still sell Penny Pitchers at Dill Street? Is the Heurot still open?
>>64775392>>64775392Basically got retail and then you got medical, law enforcement. It's not bad it's temporary for me I'm hoping I mean I was in other parts of Indiana and some places are real bad. Not to say we don't have our gang problems one of my friends got shot at because they thought he was someone else still has holes in his car. When I was at the show I saw a lot of guns that were clearly sketchy and origin also the mods did not like my Pokemon

>>64767866 Well for example it's mentioned in Death in Venice that Tadzio's sisters were raised in severe nun like strictness while he as son and heir was indulged in every regard by his mother like his long curls, his outfits and his lounging posture Vs his ramrod stiff sisters. That's a common theme in European aristocrats of the period. Then there's all male boarding schools where romantic friendships were so common as to be a known thing that a blind eye was turned to it. Another literature example Brideshead Revisited has a Italian character talk about the "strange British and German upper class custom" that a boy's first and most innocent love should be with another boy.Such over mothering and softness was to be counterbalanced by being toughened up in the army or colonial service. It's also important to note that in India young men just out of school would be parachuted into high up positions by modern terms due to being part of a ruling minority.so you would go from boarding school straight to being an Assistant District Commissioner in Afghanistan, a railway supervisor or commanding a precinct of Native Police so you had to put aside your romantic friendships and love poems.
