Are people who shoot traditional archery just trying to compensate for having no personality?

>>64700991I do archery, i think it's fun.
>>64701724deers munching on my flowers posted this. fucking vermin should all be shot.
>>64700991or you could get out of your weird headspace and just do things because they are fun?bow go twang, arrow go fhtuck, feels good.
It's almost time for $0 tax stamps. You can finally, legally, have fun. Buy a $400 P1S from Bambu, some Pa6-cf filament from polymaker, and get to work. Some 3dp2a guys released the FTN 5.0 suppressors recently. There are suppressors for pistols, pcc's, and rifles. Let's talk about the last one.To start out you will need ONE of these muzzle devices:>Breek threaded muzzle+ Castle Shield <-Best one>KAK slimline micro flash can>1/2x28 to 3/4x16 thread adapterNow you can print an insert that will attach the suppressor body to the muzzle device. The breek insert is a clamshell design. Put the two halves onto the castle shield and screw on the suppressor assembly. The other two will need some epoxy.IF you want the suppressor to be permanent, epoxy the threads of the insert and suppressor body. It'll help with the longevity and make a better gas seal.The main body will NEED to be supported by a sleeve. You can print the sleeve, but the lifespan is shorter with a lot of restrictions. You can use a 56mm ID and 60mm OD aluminum OR carbon fiber tube with jb weld. You can also use fiberglass and resin wrapped around the tube, but this is less effective.Comment too long.

>>64697826This is something I want to learn more about, just have not had the time so thanks for posting anon.Did anyone submit today? I did 3 sbrs that hopefully get approved, just the whole thing is weird like I thought they said January 1st was getting rid of the CLEO notification, but one of the application steps literally asked for which one, they also don't have a new RPQ form for trustees, and the old one has the CLEO notification, so hopefully they don't deny me and send me to the back of the line with their own messed up bureaucracy. Either way maybe we will get lucky and someone will sue for the whole 0dollar tax is a registry thing and we can just abolish it all.
>>64701325Lots of ARs here in Yurop and these aren't really a thing. You're going to put on a regular comp, flash hider or a suppressor. There are mini suppressors that do much the same thing though
>>64701431>hurr durr in yuop-Doesn't matter. The US consumer gun market is literally orders of magnitude larger than whatever euro shithole you inhabit. American consumers guide the industry. End of subject.
>>64701615Hurr durr yourself if you think American consumers are going to buy XM177 muzzle devices en masse. Retro enthusiasts will but I'm not sure companies like Brownells can be bothered to change up their production lines to actually make the devices work. No, I'm sure the vast majority will be various direct thread suppressors and maybe QD when you figure out direct threads are a PITA
>>64701398You are retarded and possibly gay.

>>64701059I want to sell holsters.
>>64701059I want to buy 50lb battering ram!
>>64701059Get my gear set up better, finally get medical instead of spending money only on the fun stuff, ie guns and nylon. Take medical classes. Stock some ammo since I don't have hardly any for my ar or pistol. Loose weight again, do more cardio, not hate myself as much. Or maybe more to motivate myself better.
>>64700718>Looking at plates that were recovered from UkraineLet me stop you right here with a picture all of y'all have seen multiple times.It's plates that WEREN'T recovered that you should get a really good look at. It would actually be incompetent and irresponsible for military authorities of respective countries to NOT run a constant analysis of survivors' plate hits and factor the results into future plate procurement.
>>64701843Survivorship bias doesn't work tho, because if you aren't recovering the peppered plates, you aren't recovering the once-hit ones either. Its not like you're picking and choosing which bodies to collect based off plate integrity, so regardless of whether the wearer lives or dies, the sample should be proportionally accurate.

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64642130>The Mesoamericans were pretty advanced when it came to agriculture, astronomy, and sanitatiomIncas had agricultural techniques at 18-19th century level Europe, including open field laboratories for plants
>>64698364I'll get to this in my dump (>>64698336) but the Mesoamericans also had experimental botanical sites like Inca ones
>>64680543>>64687468>>64688705It was loosely based on meso American culture.Mel Gibson says himself, that the movie is about American culture in the US. we lost our ways and became overly capitalist (jewish) and embraced human sacrifice (abortion(also jewish)) and we will be conquered by foreigners unless we change our ways and return to God.
>>64698336cont:Further down the spectrum of criticism we have Las Casas, who says also says blades fell out and broke easily, and that while they could "split a man's head open"(?), that they couldn't sever limbs (at least cleanly) and couldn't behead horses, because the wooden shaft would limit penetration into flesh:>Por armas tenian...espadas de palo y: hincadas unas navajas de las piedras que arriba dejimos negras como pedernales, y aunque con éstas pueden hender la cabeza a un hombre, pero no cortar cercén un brazo, puesto que le corten o quiebren o troncen el hueso, cuanto menos cortar cercén un pescuezo de un caballo con riendas y todo, como algunos dicen por engrandecer sus hazafias. La razon es la que arriba sefialamos, conviene a saber, porque no tienen tanta fuerza los filos de las dichas navajas, que facilmente los pierden. Lo que podran efectuar con aquella espada en el pescuezo del caballo, sera dalle herida cuanto entraren los filos en la carne, que no pasaran de un canto de real de plata, porque todo lo otro es grueso, por tener el lomo...Obviously some claims of their lethality and durability both on the Native and Spanish side are embellishments, but Casas was a missionary and I'm not sure he ever saw them in active combat, unlike Diaz, the Anonymous Conqueror, and Cordova, and as seen below, even poor replicas show it could in fact cut deep into flesh, and may also show they weren't one use weapons. Also, all that said, if they weren't effective, then the Mesoamericans wouldn't have used them and the Spanish wouldn't bother praising them.The Mesoamericans were not idiots or lacking good equipment: we're talking about urban civilizations that had cities (which could match some of the larger contemporary European ones in size and infrastructure) and complex governments for thousands of years before the Spanish showed up, and who had organized armies that used actual armor and specific and varied types of weapons, see pic2/?
>>64688704>the Aztecs also had fairly remarkably social mobility through military service. Which, hey, once again mirrors Rome!Also, they had slaves but you could not be born a slave, so it was possible to rise from literal slave birth to pretty high

>>64700758I'm guessing it's more for checking CNC'd dimensions than being actually used for machining but yeah it's horrible to read.
>>64700133very nice thank you fren
>>64701077Very dense and confusing. A lot of dimensions in the same viewsa. It's a style thing, not a technical one.
is there a way to make it work?
>>64700180>These were the arguments made:>completely misrepresents all arguments You're not even worth talking to
>>64698058>The tabletop rules are there to make shit simple but in the lore they have at least WW2 levels of integral combined arms.The opposite, actually. The Imperium STRICTLY enforces a zero combined arms doctrine in order to cripple any unit that might want to rebel. Any given unit has ZERO organic fire support, ZERO organic armor, ZERO organic air lift. If you are a tank unit, you operate tanks and absolutely nothing else. You might get ordered to cooperate with another formation for better effect, but everything is set up in such a way that any given unit if operating alone is intentionally crippled and incapable of dealing with a myriad of problems without cooperation.
>>64700626Here nigger>>64686483>Individual bottom of the barrel space marines should be a threat to a platoon, or at least a squad, sized guard element.And the post directly responding to mine here, you big fat ape>>64689967>No.
>>64700627>The Imperium STRICTLY enforces a zero combined arms doctrinein your schizophrenic headcanon maybemeanwhile in 40k your basic bitch prototypical Cadian infantry regiment is basically just a simplified version of a WW2 infantry battalion in most ways, with squad, platoon and company level support assets as well as some vehicles.the imperium also doesn't do anything strictly, on any level, because no authority is ever really fully in charge of it and at every level you've got people doing whatever the fuck they can get away withthe only real strict barrier is the separation between navy, guard and planetary/system defense forces. tactically anything goes.
>>64700627>Any given unit has ZERO organic fire support, ZERO organic armor, ZERO organic air lift.lmao nigger what the fuck is this, not 40k for sure
What’s the best gun for hunting polar bears?
>>64693492Maybe they should have adopted the Ruger instead. Comparing the two, I think there's a strong case for the Ruger
>>64678265I heard years ago that the Inuits that actually hunt Polar Bears use AR-15's. Hence, .223Win/5.56mm ammo.
>>64693479Immediately came to my mind too
>>64678265What these guys had was probably fine so any modern developments are probably better than that. Doesn't count if you're fighting a supernaturally charged man-bear (pig optional)
>>64700900Modern problems require modern solutions>tested to -42>>64701362Mag dumping is a thing, but that's more a defensive thing trying for a CNS shot
>>64700988MGs in general fuck, regardless of faction.The British, however, have the absolute worst AT and yet face King Tigers in the late game.
>>64701302They have 17 pdrs (if you can get them up there lmao)
>>64701313Nah, any kind of fixed artillery gets fucked hard. Tanks do as well.Any kind of tank combat in Bridge Too Far is basically laser tag. The AI has an accuracy advantage so the minute they can fire you're dead. Your best hope are infantry AT ambushes.

The brits did It with during WW2 to fight off German subs and Luftwaffe raiding their merchant ships, called CAM (Catapult Assisted Merchantmen, ship) and MAC (Merchant Aircraft Carriers): https://youtu.be/i6BqpInpZ2wSo nowadays with Steam and Electromagnetic catapults and CAA/UCAVs wouldn't that be much easier?
>>64696289Aren't they completely obsolete now that F35-Cs are around in large numbers?I can't imagine they are any cheaper to maintain either, given their age.
better to just turn them into cheap arsenal ships nowadays.
>>64695479The chinks actually made a modern day CAM ship lmao!
This is AI trying to cope with Clive Cussler's "Oregon" (don't remember if it was a USS or not). That fucking thing was a freighter/data center/submersible tender/missile truck/5 star restaurant... man Cussler was fun to read but his tech was REAL retarded.If I armed freighters it'd be with frogmen in peace time to plant remotely armed mines or something.The one good thing about the Oregon was it's drone swarm before drones were a meme.
>>64701738to expand: Patrick Robinson wrote armed freighters all the time, Alistair MacLean, ?Clancy? (I don't really remember), Frederick Forsyth, Don Winslow, all wrote armed freights (and like the AI thing, they are ALL super shoehorned).
