The real scout rifle is a suppressed single shot SBR, in particular break-opens that can be stored in a bag like the Henry (and not e.g. falling blocks or rolling blocks). They should also have a 1x-3x prism scope for light weight (I think most people agree Jeff Cooper's "scout scope" was the worst part of his failed meme). A scout, who will mostly be hunting and not engaged in prolonged firefights (but instead utilizing sniper and/or gorilla warfare tactics in the very rare chance he does have to shoot at humans) has no use for a repeating rifle nor needs the compromises that come along with it. A rifle will always be carried at least 99% of the time, and shot 1% of the time. Rifles essentially just like these, without the ability to be packed and without a suppressor (like rolling blocks, muzzleloaders etc) have served frontiersman and homesteaders for centuries just fine. These same people only ended up switching to bolt actions because of military surplus making them cheap and available, not necessarily because they were better for their needs.
>>65173495Sooo. If you miss your target, how do you reload while staying on target/adjusting? Sounds annoying.
>>65174243You reload and aim the gun again, sort of like how people killed with firearms for the first ~300 years of their existence.
>>65173599>>65173599We're all LARPers you complete mong retard nigger. Nobody needs anything aside from a cheapo home defence piece. Everything past that is fantasy wish fulfillment and would be better spent on stocks or PMs or whatever faggot shit you think will benefit most from imminent and ongoing hyperinflation. You don't need an ultralite packable scout rifle in case of SHTF because1) nothing ever happens and SHTF is an incoherent pipe dream for losers2) when the grocery shelves are empty all the game will be shot before your retard ass sees a single doe3) you'll be dead anyways because you're a fucking retardBy the way, you can kill anything in north america with a 9mm plastic pistol

Let's talk about old aircraft. Some of these stats on wikipedia and in pop-media don't make a lick of sense. I was on Youtube and somebody posted a comparison of aircraft and their relative max speeds and it listed the P51 Mustang as the fastest from that area at 481 mph. On Wikipedia, that number is much humbler at 440 mph. Clearly there was some inflation going on- but actually Wikipedia is inflating too. The numbers bear that out. Compare the Lavochkin 7 to the P51D Mustang:>La7 Empty weight: 2,638 kg (5,816 lb)>P51 Empty weight: 7,635 lb (3,463 kg)>La7 Gross weight: 3,315 kg (7,308 lb)>P51 Gross weight: 9,200 lb (4,173 kg)>La7 Powerplant: 1 × Shvetsov ASh-82FN 14-cylinder, two-row, air-cooled radial, 1,380 kW (1,850 hp)>P51 Powerplant: 1 × Packard (Rolls-Royce) V-1650-7 Merlin 12-cylinder liquid cooled engine, 1,490 hp (1,110 kW) at 3,000 rpm;[175] 1,720 hp (1,280 kW) at WEPDrag should be nearly equal. The Soviet La7 is using a slightly more bulbous radial engine against the P51s slimmer counterpart, but the wingspan on the P51 is longer. Notice the WEP for moment being listed. Also notice that the P51D is given a range of "1,650 mi (2,660 km, 1,434 nmi) with external tanks"- the non-drop tank number is not listed in the stats block while the La7 is given "Range: 665 km (413 mi, 359 nmi) (1944 model)". This happens constantly with WW2 craft online: American planes are given the optional drop tank number, sometimes even using more modern post-war fuels, while other nations are left with maximum load combat ranges weighed down with armaments.
>>65169505>via the Meredith effect through clever design.>That's to compensate for radiators adding to dragNo the meridth effect is literally a radiator powered ramjet. The hot radiator causes a pressure increase in the air flowing through the radiator which accellerates the heated air to the rear which produces thrust. Waste heat is producing thrust.
>>65173369>literally a radiator powered ramjetYou're a fucking idiot.
>>65173376How do you think a ram jet works? Gets a pressurised stream of air from an air inlet. Burns fuel in the air to heat and expand it. Allows the expanded air to go out at a lower pressure behind the jet engine. The difference here is that instead of from fuel, the heat is waste from the engine so it works at a much lower speed and pressure with no need for ignition.

why would the Germans even care about Norway (being fooled into thinking D-Day was planned for there) at a point that late in the war? i've heard that it was all about "muh iron ore" and "muh u-boat pens" when logistics meant the ore didn't mean shit, and remaining u-boats were essentially floating targets (no, your slave-built schnorkels won't save you) carrying precious amounts of remaining oil. while they performed... fairly well, given the circumstances at normandy, that was mostly because of fucked up allied coordination & an all-or-nothing strategy of stopping it at the beaches. i am sorry, i'm quite stupid.
Even Odessa, which was besieged in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa, became a meat grinder for the Eastern European Axis forces. The resistance based in cities with well-stocked supply lines was tenacious and not to be underestimated. They should have focused solely on cutting off the railway lines in the south, rather than being greedy and trying to capture Murmansk.
>>65172679>Even Odessa, which was besieged in the early stages of Operation Barbarossa, became a meat grinder for the Eastern European Axis forces.That's because it was the Romanians. Yes, their contribution was huge to the eastern front, but it was an extremely low quality contribution
>>65166066>why would the Germans even care about NorwayHitler didn't and wanted to stay out of there which is precisely why Churchill forced his hand by trying to invade it.He called it "expanding the front" or some shit like that.

>Ukraine vs Russia>Iran vs the USDrones have made it impossible for large and powerful conventional militaries to achieve decisive battlefield success even with overwhelming firepower. In the recent cases where it has (such as Azerbaijan vs Armenia and Israel vs Gaza/Lebanon), this was entirely due to the complete and total lack of support for the defender by other countries.This means that any thirdie country, no matter how large, incoherent and dysfunctional as Ukraine and the IRI, are basically unbeatable. Western style conventional militaries are unable to succeed, leverage their expensive airpower assets, and must blow millions on interceptors against drones and missiles that cost thousands, all the while their armored vehicles and infantrymen are killed by FPV drones with hand grenades.It means that no superpower can compel a thirdie shithole to do anything even with the threat of direct military invasion unless it agrees or was pre-arranged to capitulate first like Venezuela.We are basically stuck at the point of 1914/15 with no answer for trenches and machine guns

It is day 1549 of the American Special Military Operation in the de-cartelization of Mexico. The US army had to retreat from the outskirts of Chihuahua. Despite being bombarded everyday since the beginning of the war by Sherman Calliopes, Tijuana was only recently liberated by the brave fighters of the 2nd tanks battalion of the US Marines, fielding the M60 sepV2 edition.The USA continues its terror campaign over mexican cities thanks to the supply of suicide drones by Afghanistan, as it’s too dangerous for the USAF to operate its F-4 Phantoms and F-105 Thunderchiefs above mexican airspace.As per Bloomberg, the US Armys MGM-52 Lance ballistic missile has proved itself to be a "silver bullet" to the Mexican HQ-9 SAM launchers donated by Cuba and Venezuela, allowing for some much needed breathing space for USAF pilots.The deathrow volunteers of the penal bataillon of BlackWater continue their offensive on San Rafael de las Tortillas (185 inhabitants) for the 5th month in a row despite enormous casualties, and successfully recaptured Miguel’s farm for the 8th time.Following the repeated losses from Mexican ballistic missiles and cartel semi-submersible marine drones crippling its forces, the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet doesn’t dare leaving its port in Honolulu.Swarms of Mexican FP-2 "Enchilada" long range strike drones have repedeatly struck Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri with the help of Jamaican intel, as the US MIM-23 Hawk batteries are critically low on ammo due to succeseful mexican strikes on Raytheon manufacturing facilities.From the White House, President for Life George H. W. Bush announced 3 months ago the recruitement of 40’000 mercenary fighters from South Vietnam to support the liberation forces of the Peoples Republic of Baja California, but none have been spotted on the front lines so far.Stay strong! Victory is near!

Hard to beat the companion for the price, but let's say I do want an actual high quality camping knife (no saltwater fishing), what steel do you reckon would serve me best? Magnacut? Something I can actually put a beating to and have it keep going. Mostly on wood, but let's say I needed to dress game with it or something
>>65161637old timer sharpfinger
>>65174202depends on how much you are willing to spend. 3V, MagnaCut, Cruwear are all very similar and you cant go wrong getting one of these steels as the "best" outdoor steel knife. Cheaper options are AEB-L, 14C28N, 8Cr13MoV and AUS-8 are really good entry level steels. I actually don't like 1095 steel. all these steels i just mentioned are better than 1095. Id say the main attribute you want in an outdoor fixed blade is toughness. which 1095 is kind of weak. another good attribute for outdoor steels is corrosion resistant which most the steels i mentioned above are stainless or "semi-stainless". and edge retention is kind of subjective because some people claim that >well i want something easy to sharpen in the field so fancy supersteels are not as good as budget steelswhich is true, but also supersteels edges last so long that you probably wouldn't need to resharpen a lot. which also 1095 dulls super easy. Lots of people shill esee knives, but I think that 1095 is just barely holding relevance. why would you choose a 150 dollar Esee when other companies can do 14C28N for under 100 which is objectivly just better. like if you want something under 100 bucks, there are a several knives in 14C28N or AEB-L that are going to be really good. but if you have money to spend, 3V, Cruwear, or MagnaCut. Which the Demko FreeReign is around 200 in 3V and is probably one of the better things to buy. Fallkniven are pretty overpriced and IMO overrated as well. people buy them like gucci bags, just to say they own one. there are tons of good outdoor knives, but I think its more about what you want.
trust me too. dont listen to a boomer fudd trying to cope over his 1095 steel. it rusts like a mother fucker, it dulls like a mother fucker and its decently strong. just so many knife steels outclass it, the only reason why it hasnt been pushed out of the market is because if you are getting a 10 inch chopper or a machete, well you either spend 200 on a 1095 for one, or you spend a 1000 on a nicer steel. its barely holding relevance.

https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/b1a57529aa574e8ba220e0311434733e/view>USSOCOM is seeking a carbine system to act as a replacement or upgrade for the current URG-I. The goal is to integrate advancements in material science and weapon design to provide operators with a technically superior individual weapon system capable of firing both legacy 5.56x45mm NATO and emerging hyper velocity ammunition.>HICAR shall fire and function with M855A1, Mk262 as well as Government supplied M855A1+ hypervelocity ammunition loaded to 82kpsi (T); with future hypervelocity ammunition designs optimized for projectile velocity and terminal effects on target (O).Fuck Siggers we're doing M4s on Mars and I will be first in line for surplus M855A1+
>>65173990Zero yet, unfortunately, except for the 82kpsi pressure, fitting in a standard 556 chamber, and M855A1 bullet. The rumor mill says its in a Federal PEAK case.
>>65173937yeah, you
>>65174046It's good they're making a dedicated upper for it at leastI know Chris Bartocci dislikes current M855A1 because of the increased wear on current AR15 rifles from the bullet design and pressure, so this should be a win all around
>>65173701My idea of my 5.56 super only half done.Largest downside of legacy 5.56 is short ogive and bad firm factor as result.Better velocity is fun but good ballistic coefficient is much better. Together - perfect.Well another opportunity wasted by boomers who don't know what form factor is.
>>65173701Sounds utterly pointless. Shouldn't they design this "future hyper velocity ammunition" before the gun that's meant to fire it? Also the fact that it's going to be able to fire 5.56 as well means that this theoretical new ammuntion will work just fine in an AR. Just more MIC grift.
