I've never seen a portrayal of samurai or medieval Japanese soldiers with shields. Why? Did they not invent the most obvious thing ever?
It was hard to find a good one-handed weapon.

Why don't modern uniforms have some sort of leaf suit strips sewn in by default? A few strips of laser-cut camo on the shoulders would help break up the silhouette a lot, and I can't think of any major downside.
>>65350341awful bait try again !
>>65348581>heavy>gets caught on shit>will never dry in the field>barely breathesAnd the most important part:>it's expensive for something which for the average soldier is useless past some simple scrim on your helmet
>>65348581>on the shoulders would help break up the silhouette a lot, and I can't think of any major downside.You don't carry many backpacks, do you?
>>65352911>heavy>will never dry in the field>barely breathesleaf suits are made of the same shit tents are and have a mesh base, they're practically weightless and don't hold any water. thats part of the reason why traditional ghillie suits are obsolete boomerslop that have been basically irrelevant in ukraine, and are going the way of the dodo even among western countries observing the conflict. obviously theres a kinda ritual aspect to having your snipers make thier own suits in training to learn the principles of concealment, but when actually deployed, factory made leafsuits and viper hoods will have totally supplanted them before the end of the decade IMO.

What makes a gun 'tactical'?
>>65350054The FNC DNA in the old SCARVGH...
>>65349625when you want to market something to mall rats you use qualifying adjectives. People who buy tactical things are the same people who buy modern jeeps and $300 knives.

With the US Navy SEALs the S stands for Sea, the A stands for Air and the L stands for Land; but what does the E stand for?
>>65351143It does not apply in any significant way to the marines nor navy, for obvious reasons both practical and historical.
>>65349686Embarrassment. Not that any seal would be able to read, write or pronounce that word.
>>65350836And then the Marines create their own special forces as well

Drones? A passing fad
>>65354778Yes, deep discharge should be avoided.Which is why 'empty' Li-Ion batteries are not actually at 0% charge, and can still burn.

Since fpv drones have shown logistic truck become easy prey since they have no armor and cant go off road.Is it time to return to tradition?
There is a reason obsolete things are obsolete.
>>65352715What were they limited by? Today APCs are just tin cans with big wheels.
>>65352588That's a really good idea actually. You take an open topped vehicle where the armored sections are several times thinner than an M113, then you cram it full of energetic supplies like gasoline or explosives. That should be pretty much impervious to a mid-strike drone with an 10 pound warhead.
>>65352588Drones will replace all

Here's a shit ton of depictions of spears in prehispanic Maya artwork me and a friend have been assembling It's not quite comprehensive, but it's nearly so, at least for Classic period stelae and monuments (there's def a lot missing from vases and ceramics though, and maybe Postclassic or preclassic monuments)

How well could would a shotgun loaded with slugs function as a replacement for a rifle?
>>65351385>You still aren't hitting shit past 50 yardsThat’s weird, I can swear I was shooting slugs out to 300yds, but they must’ve mis-marked the range.
>>65351439That anon must be a no-shotguns.
>>65351439i've never had great luck shooting saboted 50 caliber bullets out of a smoothbore, they're all over the place. Rifled slugs, sure.
>>65351676Saboted slugs need a rifled barrel to spin stabilize them. That's why you're not getting accuracy with a smoothebore. Rifled slugs rely on diabolo principles to stabilize, so they work better from smoothebore.
>>65350864Yes
The>everything is useless now that drones existMentality is the most retarded shit I've seen so far.We said the same fucking thing about attack helicopters and they didn't discontinue any weapon type whatsoever.Tanks will be useful no matter how much you droon
>>65342410NTA.I would make parallels with more specific gunpowder revolution in 1500. Gunpowder, cannons and hand cannons were known for centuries but they didn't affect field combat much (changed siege warfare though). Similar we got guided weapons in WWII but first they affected only expensive targets, ships, aircrafts, soldiers continued to shot bullets are each other like it's 1525.But then revolution happened. In 1460 first arquebus appeared and it spread extremely quickly especially for that era. In 1500 top military powers were armed with arquebus. We had sultans and HRE emperor making edicts literally banning bows among their elite Janissary and Landsknecht shock troops and demanding that they arm themselves with novel guns. In 1525, 1526 happen famous Pavia and Mohak battles where novel weapons triumphally defeated old school power of the knights. Historically for the era it was extremely fast, within one lifetime war changed completely.Same thing today, "gunpowder" guided weapons were known since 1944 but in 2023 advances reached critical mass to change war for ordinary troops and every tank within one year.
>>65350126Talking about parallels with carrieers and battleships. Were need "land carriers". Today drones are very effective but their launxh points lack mobility. Drones are launched by dismounting troops. And that undermines maneuver warfare and makes defense stronger. If you advance you quickly leave range of your "bubble" of drones and face enemy drones without your own drone support . Military needs land carrier. AFV that can control and launch FPV and other drones on the move (compromise launch form short stop). Some APC with cargo storage of drones and drone "loaders", who can prepare drone for a launch on the move. And drones operator and stabilized communication antenna that can maintain control of the drone when vehicle is moving.Such vehicle is absolutely necessary to conduct maneuver warfare in the drone era. Drones are extremely potent weapons, and you need to have capability to use them when you conduct maneuver.
>>65347376>retard believes drones are to tanks what guns were to swordsLMAO, they have entirely different roles to begin with you fucking idiot. A sword is a personal use weapon for a single soldierA gun is a personal use weapon for a single soldier.A drone cannot perform the roles that a tank does. Unless it is a drone in the shape of a tank, in which case it would still be called a tank
>>65351563Think of sword armed knight. Swords is a close range weaponTank is a close range weapon Gun to sword a is long range weaponDrone to tank is a long range weapon
>>65342171Drones replace everything
