This is an extremely kino sighting arrangement. not necessarily a lyman made peep, but a peep with a ramped bead is pretty based. peep and post is probably way more accurate but this is top level comfy

1. I don't understand how spoofing GPS "wreaks havoc". Can't terminals just say "ok, I'm stationary at these GPS coordinates" at the first sign of fuckery in GPS signals? Or are they spoofing the satellites' own GPS somehow? What are these "satellite jammers"?
2. Why can't ziggers use the same technique in ukraine? As far as I understand, Starlink is one of the crucial things that enables Ukraine frontline to hold. This question makes current post weapons btw

By the way, this is a necessity. Most of the currently operational starlink satellites have thermal management issues and have to shut down frequently. The service not being available in a huge country like russia is convenient for spacex at this time, because the constellation is not yet mature enough for real global service.

I'm not gonna bother reading russian propaganda.
It either corroborates the facts I wrote or it lies.
Starlink literally cannot be used inside russian territory by anyone because the sats shut down for cooling. But it can be used by anyone on the ukrainian side. You can look up the active cell map on spacex website.

我々がこの島に上陸して一カ月と経たないうちに、百名に近い兵隊がモロに殺されてしまった。いずれも「コムパニー、コムパニー」(友達の意)と近寄り、油断を見て蕃刀の抜討に会ったのである。一番多くやられたのは歩哨であった。
最初の間は、彼らは少人数を狙って来たが、日本軍与し易しと見るや大胆となり、毎日定時に一定の道を通る部隊を待ち伏せるようになった。ある部隊の命令受領者九名は、毎日定時に命令受領に通る道を待ち伏せされて全員戦死。私の部隊の一コ小隊は山の分哨に出ていたが、毎朝麓の部落まで野菜の買出しに行くのを待ち伏せされて、一行十二名全員戦死。ある部落では日本兵を歓迎して毎日御馳走を出し、空腹の日本兵が大勢で招待されているところに、手榴弾を投げ、首を切って廻った。またある部隊の一コ小隊は山の陣地に糧秣運搬中、協力していたモロに突如背かれて皆殺しにあった。(中略)

頻々たる分哨襲撃事件に業を煮やした兵団は、一日、歩兵一コ大隊に山砲を配して大討伐を行ったが、ジャングル戦に馴れていない日本軍は、弓と槍と蕃刀と小銃による神出鬼没の肉薄攻撃に、小児の如く翻弄され、著しい犠牲を出して逃げ帰った。帰り路には、すでに先廻りしたモロが、多数の樹を路に並べて山砲の進行を阻害、これを踏み越えるのにまごついているところを突撃されて、あわや山砲を奪取されるところであった。それ以来、遠方の分哨を引き揚げ、ホロ町付近の警備だけにやっとの形となった。そのホロ町の飛行場すら、白昼襲撃を受けることもあった

That's Japanese text from the diary of Japanese soldier Fujioka Akiyoshi who admits Moros slaughtered the Japanese on Jolo.

He said Japanese morale totally broke down, Japanese soldiers fought each other for supplies and he and other soldiers desperately tried to find the Americans to surrender as Moros massacred them.

Totally different from weeb and nip incel fantasy of Japanese warriors fighting to the end.

Fujioka says he and the other Japanese survivors desperately tried to surrender to the Americans since the Moro Tausug were slaughtering them.

The chain mail and segmented plate armour Stannis Baratheon wore in Game of Thrones is from Moro Muslim armor in Sulu archipelago and Mindanao. The Bangsamoro Tausug-Suluk, Maranao, Maguindanaon, Bajau-Sama Muslims.

Moros used carabao horn for the plates.

>is from Moro Muslim armor in Sulu archipelago and Mindanao
I tuned out for most of your schizoing but no, it's very much not specific to them. That style was spread all over by the Turks primarily, but likely invented by the Persians. Of course mixing maille and plate was nothing new at all, the main innovation was directly attaching plates to a maille shirt. It was very widespread, every flavor of Turk (Ottomans, Mughals, etc), Russians, Persians, even Koreans and Japanese all used this style of armor. This is likely because solid plate armor interferes heavily with archery, while flexible maille does not.

Yeah, that's true. You're right. Honestly, there are security guards in major cities rolling turkshit magfed shotguns and ARs at gas stations. If Level IV plates continue becoming more and more mainstream you're going to need a .50 cal to punch through heavily armored gangbangers at overwatch distances. Would be one hell of a meta change though to have dudes with fifties on top of gas stations. Maybe more for public speaking events or special response.

Debatable; while the fact that it's in .308 means it leans toward the GPMG role, the first guns to be used as SAWs (in the West) were shortened and lightened GPMGs, like the Stoner M69W (replaced by the Stoner 63) and the MK 48 (replaced by the M249). A case could be made that it is both a GPMG and a SAW depending on how it's used by the unit (I suppose this only highlights how useless the SAW designation/term was).
>>
>>64770703
(as other anons posted upthread) SAW is a debatable category to begin with, it's a U.S. designation for the M249
whatever it is/means, it refers to the squad's dedicated full-auto fire support weapon chambered in the infantry rifle's caliber.
(back in the 1959-1964 era when the U.S. Army's infantry rifle was the M14, you could ? have gotten away with—if they'd existed back then—calling a Mk 48 or HK 421 a 'SAW')
this "new class" of MGs, like the Mk 48 (just an up-calibered Minimi with relatively few other changes) or HK 421 yes do have the ability to also be tripod-mounted as a 'GPMG' would be, but for that task a unit's procurement would select an actual GPMG such as FN MAG or HK MG5 (<--of which there exists a kurz variant, pictured upthread)
They're light machine guns, deliberately lighter in weight (for portability) and construction, reduced OAL dimension than the GPMGs they may have taken components, design elements from
hence the neologism 'assault machine gun' /similar

Hey /k/, third-worlder noguns gamedev here, I'm prototyping an FPS game where your only weapon is a pump-action shotgun. You have to manually cycle the action after each shot. In the current state of the game, the reload button inserts a shell through the ejection port when the foreend is pulled all the way back, so you can load the chamber directly with whatever ammunition you want. I'm allowing this to be done even with a shell sitting on the elevator, which makes me wonder how plausible it is, since I (virtually) push the shell in the elevator back into the magazine tube as the foreend closes the action. So, my questions are: how plausible is this behavior? and which shotguns facilitate this?

Ghost loads are a thing but not really, it's you could do it but you realistically won't. Or you do it when you have minutes to spare and not the I need my gun loaded now to shoot that guy of videogames.
>>
>>64772124
Got it, thanks. I'll just teach the player to load the magazine and cycle the action if he wants to "quickly" feed a specific ammo type then.
>>64772131
Yeah, I want to implement ghost loading at some point, it should definitely take some time to perform.

After doing some research, perhaps something like a Benelli M4 would be better suited for the interaction I described in the OP. The player would have to pull the bolt back, ejecting an unspent shell, the magazine tube does not put a shell in the carrier/elevator, now the chamber has enough space to be fed directly with a shell (plus an optional ghost load) and put into battery when the action closes. With an open bolt, if the player closes the action without loading anything into the chamber, I assume he only wanted to eject and keep feeding the gun from the magazine, so the character will automatically press the shell release lever right before closing the bolt.
Am I on the right track here?
>>
>>64772937
A solution would be to have the shotgun feature a magazine cutoff. Off the top of my head Auto5 has one i think.
Would let players swap to a seperate ammo type for a single shot and would also give them another mechanic to play with, e.g. did I remember to turn the cutoff off?

I am interested as a big fan of the Receiver series.
