How would you use classical mages in modern day militaries?
>>65293231>slopekaiPick something that's not shit.
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
>>65293386is this the same canon where they shit on the ground and teleport it away?
>>65293359Anon that was me making fun of it. Look at the picture.
>>65293386>classical wizards>Arry PorrerPick one.
>TF2's "Panic Attack" shotgun has a drum barrel in the wrong place>But the gun loads like a normal pump-action>The drum is literally just a decorative ornament at the end of the barrel>Literally just there to troll gun nuts
>>65292473>>65292795>>65293040Fuck you. Shit's always posted to excuse >>65292410 & >>65292876 .
>>65292410I think you could do this, where the pump action also indexes a round from the drum into the underbarrel magazine, so it works like a stendo mag
>>65293377Truth hurts, don't it?
>>65292832Family Guy has a remarkable level of dedication to historical accuracy for its bits. For god's sake they used Mycenaean armour for their Troy sendup. Not even Nolan did that.
>>65293523That bit is also one of the very few times I've ever seen Greek statues shown as painted instead of just bare white.

>>65292685Even if Russia wins, you’ll still be a fat, sexless loser, Robert.
>>65293260>if Russia winswins what? According to them, they aren't at war because admitting that they are 5 years into a 3 day special operation is even more humiliating than what happened to Putin's roommate Bashar al Assad
I think recruitment is fine its never been not fine. Only scaremongers are making it seem like Europe is in trouble. The only countries at war are Ukraine and Russia. It's not going to spread to Europe for the time being so who cares if muh german army doesnt have 3 million people in it.Counter to this and in line with the thread topic recruitment in the US is stellar but it's due to: >the numbers getting lower year by year as the quotas were not met and now suddenly theyre being met beyond expectation>poor entry level job market
>>65293388To address both points>quotas are lower than previous yearsDo you mean to tell me that the military needs fewer people when it is NOT at war or occupying multiple countries? I could've sworn we were expected to be at maximum capacity at all times no matter the circumstances!>poor entry level job marketThe military has always offered young men the opportunity to accelerate their careers and find success in the job market, but what we saw in the past couple of decades was an attempt to subvert that by the pay-to-play universities that now have 2 generations indentured to soul-crushing student loans they took in a failed attempt to get a leg up without making any sacrifices.
any Aussies here that are in the RAN? What's the culture like atm? Would you recommend someone join? Looking to join in a technical trade role.
Think fast! There is a large dog running at you and barking and its owner is a fat black lady that isnt paying attention. You have a handgun and a taser. What do you do?
>>65290805>if it bites you jthen its already too late, they are fast and the first bite already causes damage. just shoot it when it comes at you. thats what you have a gun for, to not have to put up with shit like aggressive dogs and their "i may bite or i may not, i might bite a little or not, just let me circle you and get close to you while i growl and bark like im going to maul you, which i may or may not do" bullshit.
>>65290840everyone in america is armed and america is crime central. its only reasonable for an american police officer to be ready for combat at all times. dont want to end in the grave or worse permanently disabled with chronic pain 24/7. its not fun not being able to move your hand anymore because a dog has ripped your forearm.
>>65290990>the first bite already causes damage>>65290996>permanently disabledMaybe if you're made out of tissue paper. Anyway dealing with the cops and legal system afterwards is more dangerous than the dog itself in the event you start shooting in a city, it better be undeniable and taking a little bite solves that easy

what does /k/ think about 3d printed silencers?
what are the chances Russia decides to do a modern take on Linebacker II and throws whatever support aircraft and bombers it can spare?
>>65293180The ability to do so
>>65293498>ballistic missiles en massHonestly, i think that is enough. Why endanger your remaining bomber when you can launch missile that just as accurate.
>>65293546>just as accurateBallistic missiles are not as accurate as guided bombs or cruise missiles that Russia doesn't have enough of.
>>65293232>I'm actually shocked neither of those things have happened yet to be honest.Well, someone tried
>>65293556>doesn't have enough of.Hate to be that guy but, is there any concrete evidence on this matter?
what do be it dough
>>65289830anon i know about this however read what i said again this doesnt apply to research papers
>>65291015The government absolutely has and frequently exercises classification authority over civilian research, I have no idea how you’ve arrived at the conclusion they don’t. On top of that, the major contractors very jealously guard their IP. It is one of the major reasons McDonnell’s A-12 was such a disaster. Technical information on ATF was so heavily classified that they were completely siloed away and not allowed to disclose any relevant information on stealth technologies to the ATA team. Perhaps the greatest intelligence coup of the Cold War was that the Soviets allowed the paper on radar reflection equations to be published internationally, which formed the initial backbone of American stealth research. To prevent that happening to us what is allowed to be published is very closely vetted. You are never allowed to hear about the interesting work being done until it is no longer of interest.
>>65291049It's really the opposite. You hear shitloads about interesting work, then one day you just stop hearing about it. Boeing's metamaterial coating I mentioned earlier in the thread is an excellent example of this. You could read quite a bit about it, and PhantomWork's research partners at Duke and Purdue published a fair bit...until one day it stopped. Stopped and slow light would be another, but then again it's sort of the same thing because they were hunting for materials with specific optical properties and supported scattering modes for (((reasons))). What's funny is everyone credits LockMart for "discovering" the implications of Method of Edge Waves, when in reality it was some well-read desk monkey at the Department of Commerce's Office of Foreign Technology that called LockMart (and apparently NG as well) and said "hey, I have something you'd be interested in". You can also add gaseous phase conjugators and metamaterials to the list of things we cribbed from PUBLISHED Russian research.
>>65291361Sure, you get funny high concept stuff that doesn’t seem at all achievable outside a lab and won’t be militarily relevant published. But then some breakthrough happens, or someone with the right authority suspects it might soon, and then we never ever ever hear about it again until 40 years after whatever project it was integrated into retires. Probably poor phrasing on my part, I meant the “interesting” part as more of the part where they start operationalizing it since those are the bits that personally interest me.
>>65292514>But then some breakthrough happened Reminds me of a book I'm listening to. You have to wonder what they can do with the cyclotron in the sky nowadays.
>see obvious killzone littered with the charred remains of dozens of your fellow ziggers>should we find a different route?>nahbut why?
>>65293434If these were American soldiers they'd get a bunch of medals, a presidential visit and relatively good healthcare (VA is sadly shit in some cases).In Russia they just give them a bag of cheetos and one of those weird skateboard looking things to sit on, and there's no collective transport for them either unlike Soviet Afghan veterans.
>>65293481More sanctions?
>>65293465>"you-know-who"who does this actually refer to? Zelensky? NATO? perfidious Albion?
>>65293484this is like something from a 90's movie like trainspotting before the superhero bullshit took over
That's the different route
Here's your modern infantry combat, bro.
>>65290238If you can't run at 60 miles per hour then you're not getting away from it. At least shooting gives you a small chance.
>>65290272>having less accuracyDrones are not bullets but explosives, they don't need to be accurate to kill you, retard.
>>65290219Welcome to the future, boomer.
>>65293330Evil HATO techno-necromancy!
>>65292886There's a clip with someone asking them why they enlisted, and all of them say something like 'I was drunk'. It's likely they got played.
Why are they so fucking cool?
>>65293134They were likely going pretty fast when they hit it.
>>65293127And you, presumably, know how much noise a generator makes in the woods. In a stationary position, it would be useless in ambushing.
>>65293154Yeah. Lithium batteries are pretty light these days but you still have the ammo issue. I can't really image a use case for it.

On a random YouTube binge the other week I kept seeing this aussies buying FMTVs to convert into campers. Now after two weeks in the field I gaze lustfully at the medics and their ambulance hmmwv compared to my shitty fox hole. Anyone thought about converting a military vehicle into a camper? While I think that the ambulance hmmwv would be hard to beat something about gutting a contact truck speaks to me. Totally enough room to set up a bed on one side, toss some cooking stuff on the other ect. Sure as shit not getting the up armored version though.
