I like your rig, easy to put on, not too deep, can easily attach hydration on the back or a backpack, all you'd really gain from the caf is an extra row of grenade size pouches on the mags and the small gp on the utility pouches. Probably not worth, maybe you could ghetto rig an extra pouch on your current setup.

About when we get to 7th gen fighters & the like ... maybe? Current designs would probably be impossible to retrofit, but no telling what alien tech will be around come 22nd century. Even some kind of rudimentary "force field" (maybe with some kind of super magnetic fields) combined with a more streamline manta ray like or saucer shape would seem to put it into the realm of theoretical possibility. If people started playing with drone designs now it might even be possible in some form right now on a small scale, or perhaps a micro scale. No real need to have living pilots when drone tech is evolving so fast right now. Think in terms of something the size of a hubcap, and a sub mothership that can launch several thousand of them.

Not necessarily. Have a surface carrier group for show & intimidation, have half a dozen subs underwater so when you do launch there's suddenly ten times more force in the air than previously imagined. Plus, subs can launch cruise missile, also, in support of all the aircraft.

A surface carrier group is vulnerable to nukes &/or MOAB. But from the burning wreckage floating on the surface suddenly a few hundred drones, planes, and missiles burst forth. Bit of a plot twist.

Only if it's somewhere that'll bother a random passersby. You could probably get away with it if the area affected is entirely on your property since it's not inherently dangerous and if someone loses a drone you can ask why they were flying a drone over your property without permission.

People don't need your permission to fly over your property. You don't own the airspace. The only time they might run into legal issues is if they're recording or loitering over your yard or house.

Germans literally organized their air force around the creation of aces. In every squadron, there was one pilot everyone else supported. They flew to funnel kills to their designated ace. Also, no one else really dealt with the full force of American strategic bombing. Japan absolutely did, but by the time America was bombing the mainland, they essentially had no air force left. Also, the German obsession with aces backfired as well. If that one hyper-competent pilot got shot down or killed, no one else was really able to fill his position.

nice story bro

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 control
Yes, 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.

> It's actually half that weight at double the velocity.
>subsonic is 2000fps
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt you misread my post. I sure hope that’s the case.

What you keep describing is a small game hunting pistol. “Woods gun” usually means something for self defense, not to shoot squirrels. You can have a different definition, that’s fine, but it’s why everyone is calling it not a woods gun.
>better penetration
You said this earlier and mention deer and hogs. Against those and humans a supersonic 5.7 isn’t penetrating deeper and isn’t going through bone like a much heavier traditional pistol round. It doesn’t have the mass, and doesn’t have true rifle velocities.

Post your 5.7.

>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45
Plinking with .45ACP sounds ok but it's >1.5x the price of 9mm and almost 10x the price of .22LR. Not a great choice for "plinking"

>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest control
Hogs are dangerous, hunting them with handguns is not recommended because it is harder to hit moving targets accurately with a pistol than a rifle. As a method of defense that you can easily keep on you? Sure. But I wouldn't actively seek hogs with a pistol because a miss or non critical hit can mean severe injury.
>>
>>64742365
I exclusively use ball or hardcast lead in pistol calibers. Pistols do not create enough energy to cause catastrophic tissue damage from fragmentation or raw energy transfer like rifles. Pistols suck for killing, because they are only lethal by either hitting CNS or heart, or by causing bleedout. CNS and heart are both inside bone/muscle armor. Ball/hardcast lead maximizes penetration, meaning it is more likely to reach CNS or heart. Bleed rate is primarily determined by the number of holes blood can leak out from. Ball/hardcast lead is most likely to completely penetrate and create both entry and exit wounds. This means there are 2 holes for blood to leak out of instead of just 1. Hollow points are meme bullets designed to reduce liability for police who have to worry about their department getting sued if they shoot someone they shouldn't, so they have special bullets that don't penetrate properly to reduce the chances of shooting a bystander on the other side of their target. The best pistol bullet is hardcast lead with a broad, sharp-edged meplat that can shatter bone and shear through tissue. Ball is the second best, as the round nose is more susceptible to deflection off of bone. Hollow points are the worst as the have the least pentrative ability.
>>
>>64755543
I use hollow points in 357 mag. 357 is potent enough that you can expand a bullet and still get an exit wound if you use 158s. There is no downside to using hollow points in sufficiently powerful handguns.
>>
>>64755623
>there is no downside
except the inherent high cost of hollow points, or when the hollow point fails to expand, or breaks apart.
this is why the 45 wins.

Can you guys please help understand what the post-service employment landscape is like for officers who join at an older age? I posted here a while back asking if it would be a mistake to join the army as an officer at 33 as I’m working at a university and struggling to advance. I see veterans with otherwise similar backgrounds to me getting accelerated career tracks because they are veterans but they all served right after college or right before. I’m really having a hard time figuring out if I can still get the same boost at this point or if that ship has sailed for me. FWIW I’m working in research, no PhD, a lot of this stuff is DoD funded. All of the department heads and supervisors are vets. All of the super high wage high skill employees under them are vets. All the people on the path to high level university leadership from here are vets.

M84 hasn't been in active service for years, and wearing it sterile is unlikely to get any frowns, let alone fines. Wearing the desert M01 under any circumstance is autistically frowned on by the vets unless you got it issued
IIRC, fines are only issued if you can reasonably be thought to be impersonating a soldier (so presumably full uniform with insignia). I've never heard of anyone getting fined for wearing a pair of M84 pants while hiking or his Arktis jacket off duty or whatever.

During the 30s and 40s the Soviet Union more or less did that, having ~.311 diameter 7.62x54mmR, 7.62x25mm and later on 7.62x39mm.

It has been said that they did this specifically so they could use the same tooling for pistol/SMG barrels as their rifle/MG barrels. Or even recycle worn rifle/MG barrels for SMGs. They do have similar twist rates so this is theoretically possible and maybe something along these lines might have happened in WW2 given a dire need for weapons and a shortage of everything. There is hearsay of this happening during the Siege of Leningrad but not much actual documentation that I can find.

Either way I don't think it was intentional. 7.62x54mmR was a holdover from the 1890s.
7.62x25mm was adapted from 7.63x25mm Mauser (soviets really liked the C96 and used them in large numbers during the interwar years).
7.62x39mm was cut adapted from 7.62x54mmR much the same way that 8x33mm was derived from 8x57mm Mauser.
Perhaps the thought of tooling cross-compatibility or recycling barrels was a bullet point on the list of reasons to keep the bore diameter the same, but the leading reason would have been convenience. There wasn't a strong reason to alter the exact bore diameter since it was close anyway and it allowed them to work with what they already knew for better or worse.

Later on when developing calibers like 9x18mm and 5.45x39mm it would not have made sense to restrict themselves to the same bore diameter across different weapon systems. They had their reasons for developing each of the above, and maintaining the same bore diameter across different calibers with different roles was just not important. That said, I think the thought remained in their heads. They designed a 5.45x18mm pistol cartridge for the PSM pistol alongside the AK-74, but it never saw much use.

I fail to believe .03 of an inch can make that much difference so why did they end up on their decision? Why not .310? Or .309?
