Would a working shrink/growth ray be the most dangerous and useful weapon ever created?Or would deviantart weirdos ruin it for everyone?
>>65082977I blame The Magic School Bus.
>>65083016Yeah I have noticed that as well. Was always getting shown on tv in the 90s and then poof come the 2000s it was like it disappeared from memory.
Miniature russian would make a good guidance unit for a shahed drone
>>65082268The implications of shrink/growth ray tech kinda make the device it'self irrelevant. Why shrink the target when you can shrink part of the object? Why not shrink a bomb and set it to explode right after the effect wears off? > deviantart weirdosThat's inevitable with any new technology.
>>65082621You shrink all the shit that's needed and expand it again once it's on site. How much food can you cram onto a space craft when you can fit a year's worth of shrunken rations into a space of a single normal one? How many pieces of machinery? If you can shrink a tank full of compressed gas how much reactive mass can you carry?
Should weebs be banned from owning guns? It's the second shooty by them in less than two months.
>>65083388Again are you young, dumb or both? School shootings happened before Columbine.
>>65083394Not anywhere near the same scale of frequency.
>>65083401Cut out all the inner city gang shootings that take place 2 blocks from a school between 19 year olds and its comparable.
>>65083361i'll take serial killers and the actual mafia coming back over these edgelord mass murders any day desu
>>65083401The media tries to make it seem that way but in reality they started happening with regularity shortly after the end of WWII.
how does one know who won a war when ceasefire is reached?
>>65083359300 head of beef cattle on 400 acres before working construction in several roles.
>>65083362And 300 head of beef is ranching, not farming and not feeding a nation.
>>65083035War is not a football match where there's always a clear winner and loser. Real world wars can be more complicated.
>>65083372Before Bill Gates and other corpo interests brought up all the farm land sub-1000 acre farms feed most of the world. It's only with investment firms now wanting to control the food supply that mega-farms are becoming common.With a turn around of ~12 months 300 cows was more than enough to get major supermarket contracts.
>>65083054True ties have happened (War of 1812 comes to mind), they're usually considered a minor victory for the defender.
Babe wake up, new war just dropped

>>650780141-life events in games like Mount and Blade reflect it perfectly.>99% of people just trying to skirmish, engage indecisively and poke at the other side with long sticks>99% of people basically just trying to avoid dying>dedicated shock troops with little regard for their lives will just ram into the enemy, opening up that point of the line for further exploitation by the ordinary troopsGreat fun.

Yes
So PLAN is a paper tiger and none of its ships can do anything?

I was just watching the navy admiral talking about the destroyers and he said they were powered by 4 gas turbine engines. I assume he meant petrol powered turbines, not nuclear. Why would they not give destroyers nuclear powered turbines? Gas powered turbines are very powerful and very reliable, but compared to nuclear powered turbines they would have to carry an enormous amount of fuel. I remember reading about 100 ft soviet ships that had a reliable dependable nuclear reactor on board to give it essentially limitless range. Why would the us not build destroyers with nuclear power?
>>65082636There's also the huge gaping morale problem that plagues Navy nukies.They atttend a intensely demanding school that rivals pilot training in complexity and time and vastly exceeds SEAL training in time, and they end up enlisted faggots who promote at the same speed as cooks, only rarely getting shore leave because their maintenance tasks are critical.If anything nuke power school and the Nukie rate is circling the drain then Navy treats them like red headed step children when they should be treated in the same way the Army treats special forces graduating Q course and moving to operational SF Groups - instant and guaranteed E5 or warrant officer only, when you graduate, easy AF transition to officer, fast promotions, elevated bonuses
>>65082824What manner of gorilla nigger reading comprehension is this? How does expense conflate with hippy bullshit in your brown mind? Stupid /pol/tard tourist.
>>65082916And that is why I ducked the Navy recruiter who tried to get me to nuke for six fucking months before I got out of high school. Worse, he wanted me on subs. Offered every bonus known to man. My granddad was a veteran surface fleet sailor, so he gave me the drill. Joined the Army instead and still got fucked. LOL
>>65082916The already established USN officer class does not want nuke people coming in as warrants and then going to officer school because the standard liberal arts skool officer is behind them by 20-25 IQ points and wont be able to compete for promotions. So nukes must stay as bottom rank enlisted and are then drummed out of service as fast as possible by having their duty station being extremely uncomfortable.

Chinese Y-9GX-18 gunship spottedFor the first time ever the Chinese are attempting to make a CAS gunship like the AC-130Are they planning to use it on Indians in the Himalayas? https://defencesecurityasia.com/en/china-y9gx18-gunship-ac130-105mm-cannon-pla-airpower-indo-pacific/

>>65080258>because clearly they also k ow where 100% of those are located with exact precisionunironically they dopicrel is one of the sat images of us bases in the middle east published by a chinese private company
>>65083327Lmao no the fuck they unironically don't.Just like the US despite having 10x the satellite coverage China has doesn't know every location of missile stocks in Iran.
>>65083330>in Iranbecause iran's total area is 1,648,195 km2taiwan's is 36,197km2
>>65083327What happens when American satelites start leaking data of sensitive sites for Taiwanese missiles?
Given this recent development, can the US revive the ASAT program? Or do they have a weapon system already available for that task like the sm-3?
>>65078689probably great for optical sensors, harder to do with synthetic aperture radar
>>65079408Well yes, but delta V requirements to go up further are a bitch.Also, you'll have to get even tighter with your networking because your launch window will be smaller.
>>65079435The shuttle could, theoretically, launch from Vandenberg, catch up to a Soviet sat the just came southbound over the pole, and have almost the whole orbit over the pacific, antartica and indian ocean to catch it, capture it or whatever.The Soviets probalby vastly overestimated teh practical uses of this capability.
>>65078412what development?as for ASAT the simplest way to do it is simply bomb the enemy ground stations if you're already bombing all their shit. you need sophisticated hardware to run satellites and tight control over the encryption keys
>>65078429Good thing the US has the ability to lift the most mass into orbit with a steady supply of rockets
Strategically speaking, how does Iran with no navy/airframes beat this? Why is it working so well, and why couldn’t we have done something like this in the Carter era?
>>65081195But it's not a war, anon. If it was, Congress would have voted on it.

>>65080594When I was in Air force tech school one of my instructor was showing us pictures of the incident that made that made the "don't eat blasting caps" warning necessary. We didn't even use claymores but he had them in the instructor gore folder and decided to gross everyone out. The dudes face was opened up like a flower or the predator alien.

>>65081954Do you know who makes a decent metal 10 round mag?
>>65023052is there something like this for scopes?
>>65082880Like a buyers guide? Not really.The link below covers the majority of combloc optics, but availability is very questionable especially with all the chink/airshit clones out there.https://russianoptics.net/
>>65082805I’ve never had my info stolen from them and the layaway is incredibly helpful on top of that I don’t know anyone else that converts the rifle to featureless so it can be shipped to my banned state. So yeah kikelantic been good to me. Now PSA has stolen my shit before.
>>65082805The only issues I've ever had with Atlantic were prices being higher than other retailers for the same items (Bulgy 45rd AK74 mags and an FAL). I've had no problems with my cards there, but I also don't buy frequently and didn't buy from them in the Obama years where so much of the CC compromising seems to have happened at all gun retailers.>>65082855The only metal mags I'm aware of for a Saiga 12 are CSSpecs, they have both 8 and 10 round mags. Their website says they only do the 8 round ones anymore with the 10s discontinued (the url still exists but the page doesn't), but Carolina Shooters Supply has old stock 10 round ones still.They're all like $55 each.
The picture is terrible but you get the idea. Why aren't there any beefier versions of this to sue as a snap caps or dummy round? It would make dry fire practice a lot more entertaining.
>>65078977Here's a picture of an unfired and fired 5.56 to give a better idea of the whole two-piece case piston thing.
>>65078977Airsoft with real guns is a disaster waiting to happen
>>65079776How? Militaries and police all over the world do it all the time in their force-on-force training.
>>65033527There are but I just pull a primer and cut a put from an eraser an stick it in the primer pocket. You don;t want to sit there ruining runs cycling them dry continuously, the execption is a new bolt action were you can have the joy (it is to me anyway) of cyvling the bolt continously a few thousand times when you first get it to make it butter smooth but you donlt pull the trigger just cycle the bolt. Same for some cheap semi autos. Part of break in after that run some heavy leads through the semi autos to kick out any burrs and then cycle another few hundred times but once the gun is right, don't fuck with it. As most cheap guns are now polymer crap it's not really the same deal anyway.
>>65083032Your guns are not toys anon. I've damage in one eye from extracting a round that was cooking off slow. I've also completed basic into different militaries and have qualified in 20+ weapon systems and seen a couple of wars first hand. I never have patroled in a contact zone with a round in the chamber, that only happens on order on contact. Relax yourself with weapons and treat them like toys and they will maim you.
