How do officers in the modern age resolve personal differences?
>>64742609Relentlessly talk shit in front of superiors and undermine each other's ability to do their job. Bonus points if your shitflinging manages to make lives miserable--or maybe even actively endangered--for as many enlisted soldiers as possible.
>>64742671You'd be the first to shit yourself and feign illness the day of the duel, cowardly knave.
>>64742612
Lawsuits and weaponizing courts.
>>64742609Like fucking functioning adults. Yes, I know, crazy concept.
How the fuck do you even make mechs make tactical sense?They present a high as fuck target, have these thin chicken legs with a million moving parts, exert ludicrous ground pressure. They cost probably as much as a nuclear submarine, are limited by line of sight, would be fucked up by a tank, couldn't touch a modern jet that could kill it from 30000 feet high and 10 miles away etc.Like how the hell do you bend the rules of your universe to make these I wouldn't be sperging out about this if Battletech was lemonade sci-fi running on the rule of cool and the power of friendship, but its intended audience was milsim autists who willingly bought hundred-page pretend technical manuals for these pieces of garbage.
>>64742982They do?
>>64742982Because it is better than most of them? The only two of any cultural influence or sheer volume of content that come close are Gundam and Macross, and the grand irony of that is that they're all in exactly the same self crippling dilemma. They're trapped placating grognards literally dying of old age who refuse to accept their settings moving past shit published in the 90s. Old fucks are killing their favorite franchises because they refuse to leave UC00XX/30XX/Space War 1 in the fucking past.
>>64742982The better question is why do tranime/mech/40k faggots insist on shitting my board up when they have their own containment boards? They're almost as bad as the hohols who think spamming a Mongolian basket weaving forum with gore will get the US to send them more gibs
>>64742982What I dont get is how their fictional bullshit isnt instabanned here. It belongs on >>>/tg/
>>64742530Yes battle armor can ride on friendly mechs. Antimech trained jump infantry can also ride on friendly mechs, that's 21 dudes with jetpacks holding on. I always laugh at battletech threads on /k/ because the game has so many autistic rules to let you do anything. There's even a bridge-to-far infantry game where you play angles to move your dides with machine guns and rocket launchers and satchel charges to ambush mechs. Those rules are amazing, but also you have mechwarrior rpg and Solaris rules where you go from 6 second turns to 1 second turns and you start having weapons reload at different intervals letting AC/2 fire faster than they would on the normal tabletop. There's also alpha strike where mechs become like warhammer figurines with wounds.
On your journey to becoming a weapons merchant, is there any advice you'd give to anyone at the beginning of their journey.The urge to keep your fellow man armed is an admirable one but its better to also make some money in the process.

Brothers,long time lurker here. I‘m from Germany and a hunter. Currently own a G19, and am split between getting a CZ 75 and a Beretta 92. Which would you get and why? Don‘t want to spend too much so it‘s going to be a used one!
>>64743169I couldn't tell you because I am a diehard 92Fag but the CZ-75 is also cool too
Alright anons show your favourite wheeled IFVs. Just know you will always have to live in the shadow of the bad boy that is called the Boxer. Your inferior dingy shitshacks will have to do for you guys i guess.
>>64741555She kwai
>>64742938Namer has a 30mm turret.
>>64741997And yet, Australia still chose Boxer over AMV. Either would have been fine though. In fact, I'd have chosen AMV because it's lighter.Lots of Boxers getting bogged in the mud in northern Australia.

>>64742872christ if you are going to ram the guy then just shoot him in the leg the trauma of getting rammed, never mind crushed between two cars is just as bad and it's not like it's going to go down better in a court "yes your honor we had to incapacitate him but because he was wearing a down jacket we couldn't taser him. so we decided to try and crush him between two cars"

Lads I NEED more guns I would give my left testicle for a rollback to pre-2015 laws.
Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.
>>64736917Kek, you’re not kidding, I remember seeing a vid of that troon here a couple weeks ago. Boy, troons sure do have some manly hobbies like guns and machining and murder. What’s up with that?
>>64742365There are guys who only use ball because ball feeds most reliably, most notably Clint Smith, but there are many others. The idea being your magazine might contain extreme shock triple gaylord trocar of death RIP grim reaper ass clown gimmick marketing bullets but they aren't particularly useful if they can't feed. It's more important that the gun goes bang every time and you get 75% lethality over an expanding bullet.
>>64742894In today’s world there is no excuse to use a gun that can’t feed HPs. Either get one that does, replace the barrel, polish the feed ramp, whatever. I’ll carry FMJ with my .32 for penetration. My Tok doesn’t feed HPs but I’d never carry that.
>>64743046It's not that HPs wont feed. The argument is that ball always feeds more reliably than an HP. Therefore, feeding reliability trumps one shot lethality. A thought experiment for you. Is your gun jamming more frequently worth whatever improvement you get in lethality from a hollow point? Clint Smith, who has trained pretty much everyone, rejects the tradeoff.
>>64731902Mk 23 in .45 Super.
What should I do with this old junky 38 s&w? I got it years back for like 100 bucks. Never shot it. Pretty sure the timing is off, it rattles, the barrel is really rough, the hammer was broken and welded back together, and 38 s&w is expensive.
>>64739907sell it there is always a market of underage noguns pretty much sovereign citizen morons looking for guns like that. the felon whos thinking about getting blackpowder would buy it. those fucking idiots buy anything in a grey zone.
>>64739934Just pic rel on the barrel and an sn
>>64740073They are smaller than the SAA. I've never handled one, but I think they are around the size of a Ruger Single Six or Colt Lightning. .
>>64739907Get hardware store parts and make break action conversion. If youre posting here, you should know how to do this.
>>64742545how is this supposed to work?is it still blackpowder using percussion caps or cartridges?
We all know what a typical chamber pressure plots look like, pic related.We also know that the bullet energy is basically the area under the plot.Now, why don't we make a combination powder with fast + slow powder so instead of a triangular shape the pressure curve looks more like a rectangle? This way we can maintain high chamber pressures all the way until the muzzle. We could achieve significant area under the curve increases with this, as much as +50% compared to traditional powders that have very little pressure left over by the time the bullet gets to the muzzle.
>>64742015Sure, but it would also help if we could retain some more pressure for those last six inches.
>>64741819Yeah that’s why I was asking for clarification about energy being the area under the curve
>>64741755...explain?
>>64742026how about my million dollar idea?t.noguns
>>64743092That is exactly what the various other anons discussing duplex and triplex loads have already discussed. It doesn't really help to layer the powders because they all ignite more or less at the same time.something like picrel might work where you start with a slow powder, then have some kind of delay element (the capsule) which retards the ignition of some booster powder. However, its effectiveness and safety depends highly on the delay of the capsule. Too slow and you get shit performance. Too fast and the gun blows up.
on one hand, probably a dumb idea against near-peer, and even worse with MANPADS, but on the other what is the replacement?
>>64742705Super Taco or start making Skyraiders great again.
>>64742871This anon understands. US can do CAS with strategic bombers. Whether we should or not is a different question.
>>64742705For a peer war it's completely uselessFor slinging dick in an uncontested airspace, it's pretty goodThe question is whether the latter use justifies the cost of keeping and maintaining them. For the middle east adventures, probably yes. But whether it'll get any use in any upcoming conflicts? I wouldn't say it's too likely, unless our next war is in Iran
>>64742705>>64742712Unironically it was replaced by the Reaper decades ago.
>>64743021Came here to say this. I would add that it does the CSAR (Sandy) role better than any other airframe. With our capabilities, a permissive environment is just a couple of days away and the A-10 would not have any problems. Would be good to have in a National Guard squadron.
>going in RAWWhat are some of the most batshit attachments ever considered for use?
Metal Storm is the future of shotguns, too groundbreaking to even be recognised. Roman candle loaded shots, electrical ignition. It allows you to hold five shots in a tube on your plate carrier (you remove the barrel each reload (the magazine is the barrel)) No giant box magazine thay only hold 5 rounds, no single loaded shells to contend with. Truly remarkable idea and was super light weight too.
>>64740129Originally it used M203 style mounts which were actually secure.
>>64742393Barrels strong enough to withstand the pressure required to propel a proper load to proper speeds for even 5 shots are too expensive to be considered disposable. That's the catch.Otherwise, truly one of the ideas of its age.
