Last one dead. These threads need to be more common.Between a Mossberg 590 and a Remington 870, which should I keep? Recently was given an 870 and I don't really care to have two shotguns.
>>64689230I mostly teach others how to shoot. They're a lot of fun on the flat range.
Does anyone have any experience with the composite stocked Browning Cynergy models? Wicked Wing or CX.I have a piece of shit Mossberg 500 that no longer fires reliably, and a piece of shit 870 Express that doesn't feed or eject reliably. I have maintained and troubleshot both but I'm done with cheap pumps. I want a gun that works with any shell, in any weather, after any period of storage, will never be shot out, will never be banned (lolcanada), etc. I'm tempted by the A400 line, but a quality OU will never completely shit the bed or be picky.
>>64689230they're putting them in the closet and never using them or blasting trash
>>64689230Nothing, I've had her for 6 months and I haven't shoot it yet.
>>64687606Jesus fuck, I just broke my ejector racking it during a chamber check

>>64687021War isn't a game where you just min-max stats, sit on your ass for two years, and autowin. You need to have contingencies incase something goes weirdly wrong and you're caught completely off guard by dumbfuck shit. This goes from nationstate level down to individual's level. >>64687230 covers it just about perfectly, pistols are just barely versatile enough to help in certain weird scenarios and soothe the minds of those who have them.The mark of a military that is both civilized and competent is that they attempt to do tricks to boost the morale of the average soldiers and infantrymen on the ground, even if the tricks have near-negligible impact on the battlefields, because Good PR by treating your boys with some extra respect does fucking wonders.
>>64690007>very video will be someone doing a CHEEKI BREEKI with an rpg into an adjoining room down a hallwaythats not room clearing thats just urban combat i think that video was from bahmut in 2023the only rifle combat i seen in cqb is from trench combat but even then both sides tend to use grenades

I need a safe for muh gunz. It needs to be able to be wall stabilized or not a tipping hazard. Needs to be able to fix six rifles, and around a dozen pistols. Other room for bullshit like mags and ammo, and bullion would be ideal. It doesn't need to be high end, it's quite literally only being purchased so small children cannot access it with ease. I am not worried about burglars.
>>64685849Save until you can get a good fireproof/waterproof one that is very large and you know you aren't going to ever move again.
>>64689740On this layers thought I've always thought you would be better off stuffing everything in the back of a closet behind an easily removed but well disguised piece of drywall. Nobody breaking or visiting children, and even cops doing a sweep because your bitch ex red flagged you, are going to look at the wall at the back of a closet stuffed with old junk and think they oughta try to bust through it.
>>64691093If your being targeted by that level of thieves it’s already a lost cause…. That’s what homeowners insurance is for… which you should also check the coverage requirements and limits of btw…
>>64691784this is a correct way of thinking but remember the second part of post also talk about OPSEC and loose lips. You can have a super hidden cache behind drywall. But if you blabbed about it to a crazy ex then it was all for nothing.

Hey anons, I’ve started getting interested in weapons, militaria, and artillery. But I have no idea how to study or research this topic. Does any anon know or have resources for that? I always look at /k/ threads, or some messages in militaria channels on Telegram, and I get completely jealous of people’s knowledge. They can identify weapons by name, know about calibers, understand military history, etc… I wish I could have the background to join those conversations.
>>64688213Thank you for the text, it was very informative. I will take notes. What did you mean by 'Hopefully you don't end up as a PDF hoarder like me.'?
>>64688382It takes minutes to recognize the value of a text book, download and flip through, days to plain read hundred page, and more to take notes and do practices. After all it takes half a year of 5 hrs a week to finish a book when your parent paid money for someone to nag you into finishing. The powerful feeling of getting a valuable book that feels like would answer your problem deminishes when actually invest time reading it as you don't actually have a problem at hand or would take on the problem. Retard like me just keep adding more book to the harddrive for that hit of rush.
>>64687976First understand the system, e.g.>artillery>tanks>armored cars>etcThen understand the components of said system,>cannons>armor>electronic modules>engines Finally, after mastery of understanding some simpler, earlier systems, read about more modern weapons and tactics. It is useless to try and understand tactics if you dont understand the equipment used same for vice versa.WW2 era tech would be a good start, as most systems (disregarding digital ones) were in use, albeit simpler precursors. Analog is much simpler to understand than electronic voodoo, starting early and working up is the way to go. Truthfully, other than some books from the library/digital downloads, Wikipedia has a majority of whatever you need to understand. Books will contain anything more specific you want to know, I would recommend New Vanguard books, they are detailed, but also relatively light reading with plenty of illustrations.Comment too long.

Bump. The premise of this thread is very interesting. We can concentrate information here and turn it into a "/k/ guide for dumbs".

would a starship-based gunship or dragon-based gunship work?
>>64678625>wallanot sure if belter or ESL ground-dweller.
>>64687787>>64687834deorbiting still needs Δv. so you not only need to put the rods up there but also a deorbiting motor.The only advantage I can think of is less warning time than a ballistic launch.
>>64685647BS. Dragon 2 is the most modern and arguably functional, of all flying crew or cargo capsules. Starship is still in heavy development but mostly works as planned.Still waiting for Ithacus.>>64688119>>walla>not sure if belter or ESL ground-dwellerLurk moar.>>64688185If it's a payload on a ballistic arc, even if travelling orbital velocity, it's still going to reimpact the launch point in 90 minutes without a circularization burn. This is an advantage, as the booster or payload for a point-to-point attack can thrust at apogee to do things like plane changes. Apply some REDACTED crossrange tricks and you've got a non-nuclear strike weapon.
>>64688852they could also use dragons as the crew section of the larger spacecraft. like have a 2 docking ports for dragons and always have on attached for rescue operations if the main spacecraft has problems
>>64691402Look into the fascinating history of the Soviet's Almaz and Salyut space station programs, and the unflown US Manned Orbiting Laboratory. Much of the development work for small military stations has already been done, and some of it has flown.

>In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that "Japan's leadership is attempting to accelerate militarization," with reference to increased defense spending under the Sanae Takaichi administration. Amid escalating Japan-China tensions, he expressed Russia's firm support for China's position on the Taiwan issue, inferred that Russia would provide China with military assistance in bringing Taiwan back under China's control, and made veiled threats about the consequences of Japan interfering.>This appears to refer to Prime Minister Takaichi's parliamentary response regarding a Taiwan contingency potentially constituting a "survival-threatening situation," the Japanese government's proposal of a record-high defense budget for fiscal 2026, and considerations to revise the three non-nuclear principles. Lavrov pointed out that the "acceleration of militarization" under the Takaichi administration "will clearly have a negative impact on regional stability."Source:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c5993ae64bfc1aa80ba17f8036e6546ea4030addI am under no delusion that Russia's much-diminished military could provide any meaningful aid to a Chinese marine invasion of Taiwan. Nor am I deluded enough to believe that this is anything more than lip service from Russia to China--probably directly requested by China--in relation to China's crashout over the Japanese PM stating that Japan would defend Taiwan from invasion as a matter of national self-preservation. However, I hope that statements like these from Russia convince Japanese that they have skin in the game, that it is better to kill Russians in Ukraine than in Hokkaido, and that Japan should start sending real military aid to Ukraine.
>>64693515>No ?When the whole blockade fantasy started:>>64690834
>>64693499>there was a guy claiming you'd need 1700 parallel tracks.Yeah, that anon >>64692391 >>64692506 probably messed up.Trans-Siberian is doing 180 millions tons of freight so that's indeed 0,5 million tons a day, which is about 16.666 TEU but that's per day.Should China build a 9000 km railway, it would be like handling one (1) big container ship per day. China is handling 270 millions TEU per year. That's forty four (44) big container ship per day.Then there's the bulk carriers, the oil tankers, the LPG tankers,... So I can see the rational of saying "you would need hundreds of Trans-Siberian lines to carry all of China's freight".
Chinks are so bad at blending in Jesus you bugs make Slavs look like Brits. Chingchong!
>>64693548Nta but you keep calling it a fantasy, asking when the blockade will start. But it seems you are truly of chink (re:mongrol) blood as blockading is an act of war in all but the most gutter oil guzzling glass houses (re:chyna). We all understand chyna doesn't give a damn about international cooperation or law but most countries do.The reason war hasn't come is because chyna knows that if they did, they will loose. Shipbuilding capacity is impressive, but not the only metric you should look at. Xingaling clearly knows this, otherwise a year ago would have been the time to spring his insidious twap.No, there is no blockade because chyna will not declare war and they will not declare war because they know they will loose. Cope, seethe etc.

Thoughts about using TELs for transporting an EMALS catapult so It can launch full size UCAVs from anywhere?
Implessive!

is EMALS the new fotm tech that thirdies will obsess over?
>>64691450Yes, because the USS Ford still can't launch F-35's, and the USS JFK is still AWOL
>>64691459but american hedge money relies on F35s!what do I, John Q Public, do about this?
Lets settle this once and for all /k/.Using the charging handle to reload is better than using the bolt release on the AR-15, to always ensure a properly seated round, correct? Using the charging handle doesnt take that much more time either.
>>64686846>picatinny rail on the stock
>>64687919this
>>64686846no, you are completely wrongbolt release is repeatable and predictable, charging handle introduces variability, plus if the bolt is locked back from emptying the mag you have to hit the bolt release anyway
>>64686846No, not correct. The bolt release is one of the biggest reasons AR15 has one of the best manual of arms.God and Eugene worked together to bring you thumbs and the bolt release. Use them.
