It is my contention that military uniforms should be designed with one primary purpose - to make the wearer feel that he is attractive to women. This would boost morale an increase recruitment. Actual practicality should be secondary to this. Consequently we should return to the peacock uniforms of the 17th-19th centuries. There, I said it.

BRAINSTORM SESSION. Pic related thinks a drone equivalent of a mass terror attack will happen using a drone, on par 3,000 dead body count of 9-11.https://youtu.be/6Y8TaAPih-4?t=1199Fucking how. Flying a fast attack drone up a turbofan at most gets you a kill count of 300.
Drones are way too technical to do more than infrastructure attacks at this moment, which if done nationally could result in thousands of deaths potentially if you consider vulnerable people that absolutely need a constant supply of electricity.
>>65292684Guy is not wrong.Medium IQ ape can test and build 50 drones packed up with semtex(or any other high propellant) + ballbearings, drive a truck 10km from big open air concert(50k people) and let it roll towards the concert site.If your aim is pure terrorism, these things are not hard to accomplish.
>>65292794For all that technological complexity you’d be better off just using the truck itself as a VBIED, drones are actually pretty bad at mass casualty events unless you’re using something that’s practically a cruise missile.
>>65292924>unless you’re using something that’s practically a cruise missileStop thinking drone == quadcopter.
>>65292924>For all that technological complexity you’d be better off just using the truck itself as a VBIED, drones are actually pretty bad at mass casualty eventsFairly sure that flying claymore mines blowing up in stadium above peoples heads is pretty solid mass casualty ROI with little to no defence or direct risk to assailant.Im no drone expert but taping some explosives and nails to a drone does not seem unreasonable technological complexity.

practically a wizard is very vulnerable to an average infantry man, and would typically have shorter range that than a rifle for their "offensive" magic. This is why canonically in the Harry Potter universe, all the witches offered themselves to be fucked by muggles as a peace offering after firearms were developed. that said, wizards would be best utilized in logistical role, R&D, or specific SF roles

>>65283384B-1s as employed by the Trade Federation were basically mall cop droids rather than labor droids. They were legitimately security droids pressed into service as war droids by the Trade Federation and later the CIS (and upgraded). The best way to look at the B-1s is in universe prior to the clone wars it's a "California legal" army. Aside from the "labor droid" part you're right on the money about them, the Trade Fed DID make a bunch of kit allowing them to do labor, firefighting, and all sorts of things. Same mindset applies to the Lucrehulks playing games with tonnage and gun count to say they're not battleships and stay a tenth of a cunthair in regs with the Ruusan Reforms (in universe London Naval Treaty equivalent).The B-2 was a legit purpose built war droid rather than just a "heavy unit". Their problem was Darth Sidious and Sheev Palpatine being the same person.>>65284858The threat from B-1s is sheer force of mass. Yeah you and your bros might be the best 1,000 trigger pullers in the galaxy by a wide margin, but those asshole Nemoidians can comfortably send a thousand droids for each of you. B-1s legitimately do still suck even when they're not being fucked with by a Sith Lord trying to prolong the war he runs both sides of. The thing is they come in absolutely overwhelming numbers and no matter how many you scrap if the computer says march they march. The CIS giving them operational independence was a blessing and a curse because there's no single thing to destroy to shut them down, but there's no hive mind driving them forward regardless of losses.
>>65288206the wookiees worship the force too, the jedi dont have a monopoly on it.
>>65288186That doesn't mean anything, the rebel alliance existed long before luke showed up and the weird samurai bullshit he engaged in in his personal life was largely incidental to his successes.

I own semi auto variants of all three and the fal is at the bottom of the heap for me.My G3 clone feels more fuck-you rugged, like I could toss it off a cliff and it would be perfectly fine and my Polytech M14 is lighter. Both have nicer triggers, better sights and are more accurate. I generally prefer the recoil and ergos of the G3, from a bench or prone the m14 ergos are a bit better. Reliability has been about the same and they all sling and carry about the same when I'm out in the woods larping.Is it just because of Rhodesia and the Falkands?
>>65292354SCAR-H doesn't count because it's basically an AR-18 chambered in 7.62 natoAR-10 was too pure for this sinful earth
>>65291834You think I'm brown. I think you're nogunz, and not a particularly smart one at that. Let's see who's closer.
I remember when I was a kid, I really wanted an FAL, because I thought it was a big ass gun that shot a big ass bullet. This logic was also why I considered the AK to be superior to the AR, because 7.62 > 5.56.My friends told me the FAL was a piece of shit but I kinda still want one
>>65293271Get one. They are fine rifles. The good days of quality brazilian and austrian parts are over, but I don't think you'll regret it. Its not even my favorite battle rifle.
>>65291834Pathetic.>>65292477Doctrinally Australia had a DMR from around '92 onwards and it was always a planned part of the small arms replacement program where they went from 7.62 to 5.56. F88S fitted with 3.4x optics were issued to lead and second scouts in infantry battalions, who were doctrinally capable of the function of designated marksmen (ie, extending the range for identification and effective fire against point targets past that of which riflemen could achieve). Lucky units (ie teachers pet infantry battalions in Townsville) often had enough spare rifles and scopes that the secco also had them. The rifle, the basis of issue and the concept of employment is kind of obscure and mostly lost to history, with very few references to it on the internet. In a lot of ways the rifle, and Australian prototype Minimis with rails that were floating around in the same 1988-1992 period, is extremely interesting because they're almost certainly the immediate predecessor to US Picatinny rails and their adoption. Basically the US guy from Picatinny who would later develop and push mil std 1913 into existence did an exchange posting to Australia while they were doing their small arms replacement program and saw how handy having standardised rails based on basically a commercial pattern on everything was for rapid iteration and swapping shit around and generally nigger rigging stuff, then went back and immediately went ham on it. None of it is officially recorded, but I spoke to a lot of people who were there and confirmed it, but the actual American dude ghosted my emails chasing him up about it lol.
Unobtainium that you would literally suck dick for. (If you would not literally suck another man's fat sweaty hairy fuckin weiner for it in a back alley way, it quite simply does not fuckin count.)>Mine is the Walther mpl btw. Pic related.
>>65293274Honestly I don't get why most men see sucking dick as some arduous act, worse than skinning a child or eating a tire. Sucking dick with the explicit intention of getting a reward doesn't make you gay, same as killing someone that tried to kill you doesn't make you a violent sociopath. Then again I'm gay so what do I know?

Shouldn't the only purpose a SHTF kit serve is to have a basic fighting load that can be used until you inevitably raid the national guard depots or get directly supplied by a state sponsor during a civil war? It just seems so retarded to me watching Youtube videos of all of these guys setting up multi-thousand dollar kits when in an actual war, not only would you need to be apart of a large fighting force but a fighting force that is actively getting supplied with weapons and gear. Why not just have a chest rig and a basic bitch AR15 and a granola bar for a fighting kit? It'll soon be replaced by the weapons and gear from the depots or from your sponsor anyways?
>>65281816bicycles basically stop working in under 10-15 years without new rubber. Rubber is the weak point for bikes. We probably will still be able to make rubber but its definitely going to not be as prevalent.1. In a local emergency the risk is that the government either flees or they have more important fish to fry so you are stuck with more or less your neighbors and family to keep things functional.2. Local government breakdowns are also pretty much unpredictable. The issue isn't if you want to leave its being stuck in place because you cannot leave. See Transnistria or other frozen conflict zones during a conflict.3. Worldwide conflicts and societal collapses are a bigger issue. The issue is that the front can move rapidly and you find yourself suddenly in the middle of a warzone one month and then completely pacified or under a warlord the month after. We are never likely to fall so completely backwards through the energy intensity schema that we go to amish land.
>>65281795The chilling fact about left-behind cells is that they are all presumed to be dead. It delays a conventional force so that your guys can reorganize while you shoot them in the back or blow up their ammo depots. That's why there's spec ops, and line regiments.
The thing about Katrina is that even though the Government lost all order during it they still have the authority to proesecute after the fact.If that's the case - it's best to just not even use your firearm, fuck dealing with all that legal bullshit it's a complete coin flip whether or not you get off
>>65293324Katrina taught that if you shoot a tree in the woods, does anyone hear it fall? Or as the eco nuts say, "Shoot, shove, and shut-up."
>>65293370Sure but I also think a lot of those stories were exaggerated, like Chris Kyle saying he shot 50 niggers from the roof of the superdome.I'm sure there were a lot unsolved murders/killings from Katrina & there is such thing as an overloaded police force just having to let cases go cold.
I just don't like this shit, and I won't buy or own it. It's not ergonomic whatsoever, no matter what cope you can muster. No rifle before used this style of charging handle, and no rifle after did, and in fact Stoner himself didn't even design this ergonomic disaster. I will not accept any arguments that this is a suitable place for a charging handle because it isn't. You can tell it isn't because the Magpul BAD lever and "gas busting" and ambidextrous charging handles are more or less considered necessary first modifications, and even they can't solve the fundamental problem that the charging handle still interferes with your face position on the stock and is not in the right place to comply with human anatomy.Being an adult is realizing that remaining willfully ignorant with regards to rifle design and ergonomics is simply pathetic. I should be able to completely manipulate the bolt forward and backward (and also lock it) without breaking my firing grip or moving my face on the stock. With the AR-15, this simply is not possible. Humans do not have enough hands to use this ergonomic nightmare. Supporting the existence of the top rear charging handle is supporting the federal government bureaucrats who designed it, which are (ironically) in league with the ATF. Top rear charging handle supporters are no better than literal gungrabbers and don't forget it.>inb4 "who cares" or "nice blogpost">inb4 "why do you need to charge the rifle while cheek welded">inb4 "why do you need to manually lock the bolt back when it'll happen automatically on last shot">inb4 "it's the most popular rifle therefore all flaws are irrelevant and not worth discussing"
>>65292222More importantly, what fucking utility does it offer? None. Absolutely none. It's just notraining retard seethe.>>65292243This.The AR charging handle may not be perfect, alternative solutions all have their own problems desu.
>>65292497>More importantly, what fucking utility does it offer? None.this. There is absolutely no scenario in which you need to or better yet, *can* keep your sights directly on a target while manipulating the bolt via charging handle. The AR can at least allow you to quickly drop a mag, insert a new one, and send the bolt home while shouldered with one hand on one side of the rifle, which is plenty good enough. The AK for example requires some cumbersome nonsense like using your fresh mag to knock out the old one while reaching your left hand all the way around the gun to manipulate the charging handle. The AR is so much nicer than this.
>>65291814Rack with palm of support hand, keep dominant hand on grip
If you refuse to shoot off-hand, hip fire, or operate controls with your firing hand off the grip, you are a complete and utter faggot.
>>65291814what a shit hill to die on
