Let's say the US military decided to adopt a bullpup rifle. Do you think they could improve it to a point that it could surpass the AR15 platform? I get the impression that it's just a few innovations away from achieving that status. If they could make the triggers match the AR platform it would be difficult argue that it isn't superior.>inb4 slow reloads, etc.
It occured to me that CT could enable a rifle with all the benefits of a bullpup, but none of the shortcomings except maybe the trigger. Externally, the rifle would look like a conventional one, with the magazine placed ahead of the grip. But internally, the cartridges could be pushed backwards and feed into the front of the moving chamber, so the chamber could be placed further back, close to where it would be in a bullpup (relative to the pistol grip)>>64662984> electronic primersHow does this work? What are the benefits? Could they be made vertically shorter to permit greater case capacity? Could case heads be stronger and withstand greater pressure before expelling gas out the primer pocket?
>>64663031NTA. MP7 doesn’t count. It is a semi-bullpup. A pistol with an upper receiver.
>>64663966> Aside from light, LAM, and optic, the fuck else are you putting on it?Five pounds of photonic instruments, triple redundancy, a telescope, floodlights, cup holder. Get with the program, old man. I paid for 30 picatinny sections. I’m gonna use 30 picatinny sections.
>>64662995> The long barrel is useless because they are all inaccurate garbage.Which has fuck all to do with the inherent qualities of a bullpup. Desert tech proves this
>>64664686>completely different concept and design>this is somehow comparable Ok retard

Last one dead. These threads need to be more common.Between a Mossberg 590 and a Remington 870, which should I keep? Recently was given an 870 and I don't really care to have two shotguns.
>>64668914So how do I acquire these without driving for 90 mins+ or paying more for shipping than a box? They've been out of stock almost everywhere for like 5 years.
>>64680070If you like shooting the clays, but want to do it cheap, just buy the flats of shells that go on sale during Dove season. They're usually the #6~#8 shot. It's not til you get really good that you need to worry about buying specialized trap/skeet loads.
I really like side by side shotguns and always got talked out of them by bad men that didn't have my best interests at heart. Finally got one and I'm complete.
>>64681015I love a sxs for clay shooting. Nothing quite feels as clean and crisp as getting 2 clays back to back with a good sxs. I don't own one myself because I have pumps and don't want to add anything until I have another safe though.
>>64681046I blast pigs and clays. Had a few shotguns for business but this is the first ever home shotgun.
>holy fuck I LOVE driving through traffic somewhere and paying 20$ to the tired and sad gun shop wagie who will finger fuck my guns and check all my ammunition, to go inside a poorly ventilated and dimly lit room to shoot at paper targets, next to one of America's future doctors magdumping his muzzle brake'd "not real full auto, it's FRT" fully automatic 5.56 "not a real SBR, it's a pistol" SBR!Has anyone ever actually had a FANTASTIC experience at a public indoor gun range? It seems to me that it is literally not worth into guns as a pastime if you do not own your own land, or at least have access to a good public outdoor range.

Which caliber is better? Does the shorter length of the .308 while being mostly the same ballisticly make it better, or does the slightly longer length and ability to use heavier grain bullets of the 30-06 make it better?Or is 30-06 better because it sounds cooler and is an American classic?
>>64678893Yes. Anons claiming .308 is equal or better are fabulously unaware that handloading exists
>>64677636fish gun!
>>64666510The deer I ahor with 140gr 6.5 creed took one step before he flopped over and by the time I had walked up to him (75yds) he had slipped onto the afterlife. 6.5creedmore is plenty for a deer. I find it to be an excellent intermediate between 243 and 308
>>64678868>using outdated and hard to convert units of measure just to spite the Euros
>>64664630First of all, the caliber is exactly the same .308; it is the cartridge that's different.That said, .308 is cheaper and gives very close to the same performance as .30-06 in their respective factory loads. So for the vast majority of shooters .308 is the superior choice.However, .30-06 has a greater case capacity and therefore greater flexibility for hand loads and boutique rounds. So for those shooters that hand load or are chasing niche performance; .30-06 is the superior choice.If you are a military or police force, the savings in weight and material in both the cartridge and the gun that shoots it makes .308 the vastly superior choice.tl;dr : depends on who you are and what you're doing with the round. Mostly .308, but sometimes .30-06.

I got a sex doll for Christmas and it's really shitty. It's 80 lbs and you have to wash it after every use or it gets moldy. Fuck it, sticking to my hands.

Ruger has a shotgun now.
>>64680974>it's a conspiracy!!!!!!!!You laugh, but there are people out there who will actually think this. Ruger, a publicly traded company with no secrets in terms of company assets, has a hidden luxury gun company that they started decades ago and has it's own well known history, is a secret plot to sell unsafe guns for less money than they would get by selling those same guns through the secret subsidiary that they set up 50 years ago.
>>64681004Sounds legit. Citation not required, because they (Hunter Biden) hid the documents in a Ukrainian shell company and Putin is really on a fact finding mission for Truth, Justice and The American Way!>>64678926The Red Labels were high in '94, nothing has changed.
>>64680984You can get a single barrel break action shotgun for $100. No ones crying you disingenuous little girl, its not a rich mans gun, its a fools gun.

Realistically speaking what are the mechs even contributing to this military force that you couldn't get by just swapping out the APCs for IFVs instead?
>>64613101It's not quite as fun as these direct-fire mechs shooting and punching each other, but is a more credible niche I can imagine legged-vehicles fulfilling.
>>64678172>And of course the setting is just much better at depicting combined armsHammer's slammers has uncombined arms. Everything is a hovercar with a supergun or it's getting nuked by a hovercar.>>64678268>and have specialist equipment forYeah, goofy wacky cartoon grappling glue sticks that they use to climb up a jogging metal humanoid in motion... somehow!Infantry physically attacking mechs in motion is less realistic than mechs in motion. You could just shoot at it you dingus.
>>64678307>>64678363People will seriously look you in the eye and say "legs are unrealistic. They should use a more feasible method of movement... like hovering!"

What you want is to use them for self-propelled artillery.If the advantage of mech legs is that they could reach places that treads can't, it doesn't make sense to bring them to locations where wheeled/treaded vehicles already are.Instead, you might use a mech up at high alpine elevations, on a canyon floor, etc. to hold your MLRS/field gun.

Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.
>>64679411>They're both for air defenseDifferent aspects of air defence>RAM is mostly just used on vessels that have no VLSIncorrect, all modern major combatants use RAM. Burke's and Fords.
>>64679411>in exchange...so you're say its a tradeoff and one is not strictly better than the other?
>>64671752They're the Navy's Soak Off attack against China. And I wish I was kidding about that.
>>64671857Because, who needs VLS anyway. Who would dare attack the mighty US Navy? What with out superior damage control.
This navy is finished man. At this point I'm just hoping we win the second war against China, the first one is already decided, Formosa is theirs.

i am still amazed how totally braindead the jeets were in that engagementthey just flew straight towards the enemy without any sort of plan or anything
>>64676123Egyptians have some and Iranis are in the process of getting them too. It'll be fun to watch how these perform vs Israel.
>>64677555From my understanding, the Pakis made good use of their J-10s thanks to their AWACS network & full suite integration. It's not just a matter of having the plane.
>>64676123Even if they were only killing jets, impressive

A dragon has claimed your city and is snatching up citizens to be part of its treasure hordeHow would you, an ordinary citizen, take it out with only the weapons available to you? It has tough scales, can fly, spew fire, and is large enough to swallow a person whole. What can you do with the weapons and ordinance of a single civilian to kill it?
>>64679169I'll always be thankful I'm a 'fly on the wall' type and uninterested in imagining myself as pred or prey.
