> see pic related with my kids> expect whimsical adventure movie about sky pirates with plane autism> it’s a meditation on surivor’s guilt and ptsd from the perspective of a WW1 pilotThat shit had no business hitting so hard. Felt gutted all day. Absolute S tier film. Ghibli’s best imo
>>64754609> I saw where it was heading, and I don't necessarily dislike itThats how felt about it. I dont hate that kind of ending but it happened very abruptly, felt like the studio said we need to make it two hours so they cut it off the end. Also if thats where they wanted to go they shouldve kept it closer to the heart of darkness/apocalypse now story as far as the crews fates, but that also mightve happened and been cut for time. Wasted potential
>>64759182You need to watch Who Dares Wins, sometimes on websites as The Final Option. Its a fictionalized account of the embassy siege that was made immediately after to cash in on the raid, its an okay spy thriller until the end when you get one of the best raid scenes ever filmed. The sas advisors offered to just do the scene themselves instead of bothering to train extras because they were wearing gas masks anyway.
My Ghibli favorite and a legendary movie and I dont even like anime
>>64761559Yeah, the same creator has an OVA series coming soon that he finally got commissioned by a non-hentai studio.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQM3UWBgD0Good for him.

>>64765157It's hard to beat honest-to-god film sometimes. I saw the Hateful Eight in the theaters twice, once on a normal modern (digital) screen and once during the roadtour where they brought film projectors and boy oh boy, the difference was amazing. 70mm Panavision on the Cine Capri (Tempe represent whoop whoop) just hits different.
>An F-4 Phantom II aircraft, outlined in lights and pulling Santa's sleigh, decorates the aircraft carrier USS AMERICA (CV-66). Lights suspended from the island of the carrier form a Christmas tree. The display won first place in the large combatant category during Operation Decorama `85Now thats what i call christmas spirit!

>>64760976Sorry I didn't see this, probably around 40cpr depending on how much you buy. I'm trying to work out how I'd handle shipping to have the overall cost not be too much.
>>64762760>depreciation you enduredThat's the thing I've put 2 mags through it and it's sat in a safe for 10 years. Take it out every now and then to mess around and never had rust issues. The thing is pristine and I don't like to rip people off so if I sell it I'm not gonna take too much profit. It's a real-AK wanters dream, plus 1k storage and handling costs ofc.
>>64765343NTA but I'm also interested in that Golden Tiger. If you don't end up selling it all, I'd buy anywhere between 200 and 2000 rounds of it at 41 CPR not counting shipping.

Why were the British still using the Bren gun well into the 90's despite the fact reliable belt feds were pretty much a solved issue by then and other nations were already making LMG's by just beefing up normal rifles and give them big magazines?An over 20Ibs gun with a measly 30 round magazine seemed pretty obsolete by that time.
So is this gonna be just another thinly-veiled thread to keep the spam going.
>>64766740Two main reasons: 1. The BREN still worked2. Britain never economically/industrially recovered from the devastation of WWII, they've been on a slow downward trajectory ever since then.
>>64766740Because they had fuck tons of them leftover from WW2Because it was still quite nice to carry and shootBecause it was insanely reliable and accurateBecause there were no "beefed up normal rifles" that were as controllable as itBecause fuck you that's why!

>nearly 80 years>barely any changesHow did they get it so right?
>>64766303As my 8th grade science teacher put it, evolution is very lazy, it will never craft the perfect animal but just something that will survive in the current environment
>>64766303The AK74 was a giant fuck up. By the 70s it was pretty clear that firearms design needs were changing and things like having a loose top cover would be prohibitive to future proofing your firearms for optics and the like. The side rail was a fine cope in the 50s and 60s, but by the 70s everyone knew the writing was on the wall. After that it was just muddling along. Kalashnikov was a mechanical genius, undoubtedly, but his AK74 was unambitious and the USSR decided to save a dime today when it would cost themselves a dollar in the future and fucked themselves for 50 years on a gun that couldn't be modernized properly.
>>64766347It is cheaper when you have a factory the size of a city to make the guns. It took the Soviets over a decade to get it right, and once they did, they kept the system going forever.
>>64766330It's AI slop. Those guns are hideous abominations as well... but I guess that the iPhone posters don't even spot such things these days.
>>64766546genuine question, why cant they just "Modernize" by adding rails to furniture and dust cover?(fuck captcha)

How are Norden submarines so stealthy?
>>64759919If anything you and >>64759322 are the ones getting pissy, considering that the post you're responding to DID take into account the nuance that different subs are better for different tasks>good enough for coastal defence but would be useless for long range power projection

Reloading generalMy press after sizing/depriming/cleaning primer pockets of over 6,000 pieces of .45 Auto brass.My die is an undersized die from EGW. They have Lee custom make dies .003" undersized to eliminate Glock bulge on brass. With my RCBS dies I had some rounds not fit in a match chamber.
>>64762156>a wood rodYou many have done this by now, but a 2x4, or whatever you guys have over there would likely be cheaper and probably work better.
>>64766066True, let me check hardwarestore later

Thoughs on the seating depth for these .45 SWCs? My last batch were seated at this depth and worked, but looking at commercial loads I'm wondering if they're too deep?Cartridge overall length averages 1.214" with these X-treme plated 200 grain bullets.
Just how powerful can you make one of these if you put it on a bigger warship?
>>64765835NGL that laser gun that he built is actually military grade, you can blind dozens of combatants if you fire it into a window of an enemy held building
>>64765264Materials science has minimal impact on cooling engineering. Basic copper fins with active cooling is as good as it gets. You can get more expensive materials for marginally better cooling but the cost effectiveness is miniscule.>>64765775Truly, Japanese battleships were ahead of their time.
>>64765031yeah but with a huge nuclear reactor how strong can this laser get? >>64765867It's not military grade until the Munitorum starts issuing lasguns to the newly-founded Imperial Guard.
>>64766459>Materials science has minimal impact on cooling engineering. Basic copper fins with active cooling is as good as it gets.lolno. monoisotopic diamond has ENORMOUSLY larger heat conductivity than copper. And for big systems it's worth to use liquid cooling instead of air.
>>64765775Building something as strong as Excalibur is probably not possible but for point defense on a base, wouldn't an installation with bigger everything work swimmingly compared to the portable vehicle variants?

Tell me about the insecure mentality that constantly has to belittle the efforts of the allies by demanding that the Third Reich's military efforts and capabilities be downplayed at every opportunity. Both were competent and industrious unlike jews, russians or poopjeets.
When trying to destroy a stationary enemy surface drome, is level bombing like its 1943 really the most effective way to engage them, or is Russia utilizing suboptimal methods here?
>>64766236forgot my ass-backwards webm. Note how it is "ass-backwards" because this may be ~70 year old tech and unguided rocket spam is terribly inefficient it was still created to do exactly this. Also it is just fun to yeeet rockets away from no matter how basic your rocket is.but Depth Charges for drones is a Through-the-Ass approach because it is goes against nature of the bomb. Just like homosex is against nature of man. Hence, inflicted through his ass. Not even saying "no homo" is enough here.

>>64762802there were nato generals on that field
>>64766603Keep this close to your chest, but I heard from an authoritative source that at least five Boris Johnsons were conducting exercises in that field at the moment of the strike as well. All five are confirmed lost in action -- NATO is currently scrambling to send more.
