The dragon is the size of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you can do a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk and junk.
>>64749339Alright!>Slavery/SerfdomCommon, accepted, and a sign of status. Those with low/mid IQ will happily sell themselves into servitude if it means they can eat and are under protection.In terms of societies, most will resemble ancient Sparta in social demographics with an elite (5%-10% of the population), a core of skilled people (25%), and the rest are basically serfs, slaves, or expendable labor. Being born with dragon blood can instantly catapult you into nobility, even if you were born destitute. Naturally, infertile women may find servitude preferable to being a social outcast, so sex slaves would be common (and also improve the chance of random fertility "miracles"). In fact, culturally/religiously it would be seen as a divine blessing for a prostitute to get pregnant after being deemed infertile. Kind of like ancient Sumerian Ishtar cults (holy prostitution). Even with our advanced medical tech, 1 in 7 women are infertile. This means that roughly 7-13% of women would be socially pressured into such niches. This would be a cultural touchstone, regardless of geographic location.Societies that can organize their slaves/serfs thrive, those that brutalize/misappropriate them will suffer routine revolts. This doesn't mean that all women are destined to be mattress warmers though, as high-IQ is also prized in this setting. Smart women (alchemists, mid-wives, doctors, scribes for example) would be valuable in their own right.>DrugsOpiates/Drugs would be needed in such a setting, what with the constant fear of death and all that, as well as for medicinal purposes. It would be seen as a way to placate slaves and keep revolts to a minimum when you need vast amounts of slaves for mega-structures. A delicate balance between legally doping your population but not so much that they become useless.
>>64727248Really depends on the size of the dragon and scale of it's breath. IIRC there was a book series about dragons being a thing in the 1700s or 1800s and being used for military use. Wasn't exactly amazing or anything but the concept of some dragons being massive as hell and having the ability to just straight up torch a a chunk of a city or half a harbor in a couple of seconds by belching out a shit ton of napalm breath was a thing. something like that would be relevant a lot longer than a big lizard thing that flies and spits out a shitty flamethrower.
>>64727248I believe Temeraire made a reasonably good argument for the answer being "somewhere vaguely in the early industrial age".By my own theory crafting, I have them being uniquely useful combat assets in at least some capacity right up until the first really effective purpose-built fighter planes come on to the scene, think late WWI/early interbellum-period, at minimum, possibly still being useful as primitive gunship-analogues until actual helicopter gunships are developed. This is for just your bog-standard fire-breathing big lizard, tamable and trainable but just a (very implessive) animal. Actually WWI fighters were admittedly kind of ass but an interbellum-era fighter would be a credible threat to that kind of dragon, not to mention you can build fighters a LOT faster than you can breed and raise dragons, so from that point forward dragons will inevitably be in decline. There are still some niche roles they could potentially fill, especially non-combat, which other anons have already covered.It gets more complicated of course if you introduce things like magic usage, supernatural strength/durability/speed (especially if this gives your dragons really high max payload, because now you may be able to armour them way more than planes and/or carry more weapons), non-standard breath weapons, etc. In those cases, they could potentially remain combat-relevant even into the modern day, depending on the fine print.Also, I'm using this thread as an excuse to post my favourite dragon. Post yours.
>>64755365>just a (very implessive) animalImpressive.With this most recent achievement, fate has in a single stroke, marked the decline of the land army and spelled a new era of wondrous prosperity and peaceful global dominance for the dragon, which promises to firmly stand in sharp contrast to the historically bloody ascent of land-based powers and the cruel subjugation it brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of draconic sustainable bio-fuelled fire-breathing, draconic air travel and draconic scales and talons will be the instruments with which dragons affirm their noble stewardship of 20th century world politics and offers the non-terrestrial world a different option; an draconic alternative to the depredations of ground-bound leadership and the opportunity for a more equitable and dignified multidimensionalism.
>>64754734in the world you are describing I think that assassination would be a very prominent part of both politics and warfare.the "crew" of a dragon being the softest part of the weapons system would encourage dealing with them over the dragon.if the number of people able to control a dragon is limited they are a very valid way of denying your enemy a key resource. so assassinations would have a larger impact than in IRL.if you kill a king and he has an of age successor, the crown passes on. if the king is controlling dragons and he gets got you have dragons without a master and probably close to your court/capital.even if the dragons don't go on a rampage. someone has to go and claim them and that someone might be from a different house shifting politics or even a different country.

>>64739162>>64739444Both Mesoamerican and Andean civilizations smelted bronze, but in both region stone and wood tools still dominated over bronze ones. Bronze tools and weapons were still a thing to some extent in the Andes though and in Mesoamerica so were bronze tools. If the Mesoamericans had bronze weapons is a bit contentious but I don't really agree with the hesitation around it, I think the evidence strongly suggests they did have them, even if they weren't particularly common.In any case, both the Mesoamericans and Andeans had far more in common with "Bronze age" and "iron age" or Classical or even Medieval civilizations then they did "Stone age" societies, including in warfare. ("___ ages" are dumb nonsense anyways)>>64738519>>64739383>>64743002There were way more then 10,000 local allied soldiers that worked with either Pizarro or the Cortes expedition, there were 200,000. There were more then 200 Conquistadors too, Cortes launched with around 500 and by the time Tenochtitlan fell more like 2000-3000+ had been involved due to reinforcements that arrived over the course of the expedition. These figures (probably) don't include porters, cooks, etc either.1/2
>>64754580cont>>64754295Got a source on most forces in the Philippines being Mesoamerican rather then just some of them? Or any being Texcoca specifically? I've always doubted that it was just Tlaxcalteca forces there but I haven't found anything citable for there being other groups present>>64754314>>64754453The Tlaxcalteca and many other Nahua groups all claimed to come from Aztlan too, not just the Mexica, so it wouldn't be insulting for you to call them Aztec. It'd probably still get you weird looks through since Azteca/Aztecah was an archaic term for themselves before they settled down and founded their own city-states and adopted more specific ethnic labels. For the Acolhuas, including the Texcoca, it might be less appropriate since some Acolhua sources claimed they didn't come from Aztlan IIRC, but others still said they didMaybe you meant it'd be insulting if you called them Mexica (the group in Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital), and yeah, maybe, because it'd be incorrect to, but if you're implying it'd be insulting because the Mexica were widely hated, that's mostly a misconception. Mexica rule was loose and hands off, not oppressive, and everybody did sacrifices, not just the Mexica. The reason Cortes got allies against them is because their hands off political system enabled opportunistic side switching, for the most part, though Tlaxcala in particular probably really did resent the Mexica since they were at war at the time and had been for a whileSee pastebin.com/h18M28BR and arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/640670498/#640679139 and desuarchive.org/his/thread/16781148/#16781964 and desuarchive.org/k/thread/64434397/#64469714 + the other posts I link to within that /k/ post and the two posts of mine directly preceding that one>>64739202Comment too long.

Need to know if I've been pooping myself with this, been using it for years
>>64754610I bought one and it helps but if I had to do it again I'd just stick with soaking in CLR and brushing every so often. Obviously check compatibility with your materials first.
For me it’s G96 for everything. Cleaning, oiling, lubricating. Then they sit in a climate controlled safe. If I was leaving them in a cabin or in a basement or anyplace with lots of fluctuations in temperature in humidity id probably line the barrel with some ATF and use some sort of rust proofing goop on the steel parts.
>>64754416rem oil is perfectly fine, except for the fact it evaporates easilyif you keep a regimen of oiling, its actually a very good oil thoughone thing to keep in mind, it has teflon in it, great for guns - terrible for you i wouldn't worry about it though, just don't drink it or whatever>>64754479>Clenzoilsame, its legitimately just a great one, especially if you're in a humid state i just wish it didn't cost so much, but its not like i shoot 24/7 either
>>64754416It's adequate for most applications. I bought it for years before I knew any better and it didn't cause me any trouble. That said, it performs much worse than many other competing products in corrosion testing so I see no reason to keep buying it.IMHO most people overthink their firearms oils. It's like women arguing over which brand of Mascara is best. Over the years I've used tons of different gun oils. Rem Oil, Kroil, Super Lube, RWS Airgun Oil, some Italian shit that came with a Benelli shotgun, 3-in-1, various Lucas products, Vactra #2 way oil, motor oil, Yamaha 2-stroke oil, ALG "go juice", Frog Lube, some little packets of something I got free from Optics Planet, WD-40, Tri-Flow, LPS industrial spray lube, LPS gun cleaner, PCL, Eezox, and probably a half-dozen others I have long forgotten. They all worked just fine. Barring some special niche exception, it really doesn't matter which product you use, what matter is that you are using SOME kind of product now and then.Washing your hands is way more important than gun oil, but do you overthink what brand of handsoap you're using?
>>64755244>rem oil is perfectly fine, except for the fact it evaporates easilyIt's supposed to. Rem Oil, and many other gun oil products, are formulated with a solvent that's meant to evaporate leaving behind a thin film of lubricant. In the case of Rem Oil, that includes Teflon particles. Most aerosol gun lubes work like this.Depending on what you're doing that can be a good thing or a bad thing. It's good if you're using the product as a cleaner-and-lube. It helps for penetrating down into built-up dirt, stuck parts, or areas that are difficult to access without taking the gun apart. The solvent lets the oil run down into all the little gaps and cracks, then it evaporates and leaves a thin layer of oil behind.

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.
>>64753899>5.7 is one of the best cartridges ever made for woods carry.What are you doing with this “woods gun”? If you’re using subsonic 5.7 just use a fucking .22. If you want actual protection against animals, it’s worse than any of the other regular service calibers.
>>64754206I guess your definition of a woods gun is different from mine. I had animal defense in mind more so than varmint and small game hunting. I guess that is also a legitimate definition for "woods gun". I just pictured someone trying to shoot an aggressive black bear with a 5.7 and thought the idea was ridiculous compared to using a 9mm for the same purpose. I suppose for your definition of a woods gun, 5.7 is actually a pretty good choice. I would just use 9mm FMJ to not blow up varmints personally, but I don't own a 5.7. Do you handload it or buy it all? I only use cartridges that I can handload and I have heard that 5.7 is a major PITA to deal with in that regard.
>>64753899>9mm is irrelevant as a woods gun>meanwhile 9mm has been successfully used for bear defense numerous times innawoods
>>64754233Although as a practical matter>but nearly no states will allow you to pop off a 9mm at a squirrel up a treethis is effectively impossible to enforce unless someone is being really, really blatant about it. There's a billion squirrels around, most people here have homes innawoods with no visibility from the road or against the woods and go back to shoot anyway and people shoot on their land year round. Blapping some squirrels with whatever isn't going to be on any warden's list if you aren't rubbing their faces in it. When I was a kid buddy down the road got his hands on his dad's 30-06 instead of the normal 22s we had and we all took turns with 2 rounds each trying to hit squirrels with it. One guy managed it and holy shit did that thing explode.
>>64754332It's actually half that weight at double the velocity. You keep ignoring the point of being able to switch between a 22lr game getter round to a 22wmr equivalent deer capable load with a magazine change.>>64754343>Just use a 22lrAlready pointed out why 5.u is better.>All service calibers are better at defenseIncorrect. They're roughly equivalent.>>64754345>would just use 9mm FMJ to not blow up varmints personallyAgain. Not a legal caliber.>I had animal defense in mind no varmint huntingNot what OP wanted. Specifically points out small game, varmints, hog, and deer.Ive killed hogs with it btw it works great. No deer but only because my state requires larger caliber. Lots of handgun hunters use 5.7 though. It's kinda a popular gun for woods use if you actually talk to people who own them rather than tactical Timmy's talking about how their pet 9mm load totally does the same thing to body armor.>>64754359Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Truthpill me on 5.7. Is it good? Is it bad? What's the use case? Are the guns good? Is the ammo good? Is it really more lethal than 9mm? I don't care about the price.
>>64755242>a handgun round to be ideal for defensive purposes, and doesn't have to rely on gun counter fuddloreSo you're a 10mm guy. Yeah fits.
>>64755368Counterpoint, in a perfect world, .22lr replaces everything.
>>64755034>5.7. Is it good?Yes>Is it bad?No>What's the use case?PCC and pistols. 5.7mm benefits more from longer barrels than other pistol calibers, making it somewhat like an intermediate round. In a pistol you can have a ~50% larger capacity magazine at the cost of needing a longer grip due to the longer cartridges. The whole reason the Keltec 5.7 pistol was a toploader without a magazine was to shrink the grip size.>Are the guns good? Is the ammo good?Sure>Is it really more lethal than 9mm?About the same. A long barreled 5.7mm PCC does have better hydrostatic wounding than a 9mm PCC.>I don't care about the price.5.7 prices are reasonable.
>>64755368>In a perfect world 22LR becomes centerfire
>>64755380Correct. In fact, in this hypothetical perfect world, production of all rimfire cartridges is stopped forever.

>>64753379OP clearly said the largest, not the smallest, anon.
>>64753044Yeah the story behind it is interesting. An American was working in Slovakia and found a hobo sleeping inside the statue at a junkyard. He liked it because the artist actually made it slightly out of spec by including guns and bayonets on it (see bottom right). Lenin was supposed to be presented in art as an intellectual, not a warmonger. He bought it and had it shipped home so he could use it as a curio in front of a restaurant he was going to open. Sadly he died soon after this and Lenin never got to promote a diner. The family tried to sell it to a foundry but they declined and so it went up in the hopes that somebody would buy it. It's still for sale, so if anyone really hates Lenin, just buy it and turn it into Funko pops or something. It's not even that expensive, like $250k.
>>64754031>purchase home on decently-large tract of land>purchase Lenin statute>place Lenin statute in front yard>make a little park around it, with several flag poles in a semi-circle behind it>make sure the central and tallest pole is flying the Stars and Stripes>make sure one of the other poles is flying the Confederate battle flag>leave all future visitors and deliverymen forever mystified by your political leanings
