>>64739235>this is the kind of "the villain is pure evil, let's show him drowning puppies" you see in dumb B-moviesThe current leader of the Rusih group posted videos on his social media pages showing him torturing puppies to death and eating them raw to show how "hard" he was.That's not even a joke. Some lovely fella allegedly committed some seriously horrendous crimes against humanity in Syria, raping and torturing random women and children to death, etc, for no reason other than that he could.
The pecking order for the Russian horde in Ukraine is basically Iranian advisors -> Chechen enforcers/barrier troops -> "European" mobiks -> Asian mobiks -> Wagner Remnants -> North Koreans -> Cubans -> AfricansAll besides the Iranians/Chechens are treated as expendable though
There’s been a noticeable lack of innovation in tactical gear for over a decade now. A Delta operator in 2026 looks nearly indistinguishable from one in 2016. Why are we in this gear plateau? Have we reached the maximum potential for development?
>>64746091No, that was just the peak of you giving a shit about fun things in your late 20s, yoomer. Ebikes are the rage now.
Because a soldier's basic needs of armor for the important bits and bags for all the important bobs haven't changed even if a bunch of the doodads around that have changed.
>>64748464Ebikes are pretty rad, my brother let me borrow his the other day and it made steep and long inclines feel like riding on flat ground. May have to get myself one

>>64747153The real doomer shit isn't adults, it's children. >The 2024 results show that fewer than a third of students nationwide are working at the NAEP Proficient level in reading at both grades. Scoring at the NAEP Proficient level means consistently understanding written text and interpreting its meaning.>Around 40 percent of 4th graders are working below the NAEP Basic level in reading, the largest percentage since 2002. Fourth graders scoring below NAEP Basic likely cannot recognize a reason for a character's action implied in a story. About a third of 8th graders nationwide are failing to hit the NAEP Basic benchmark in reading — the largest percentage ever.A third of 8th graders in the 2024 NEAP assessment can't explain a character's motivation from context in writing.

>>64745421>Knowledge is not intelligence.Choosing which skills to equip on your character absolutely is an intellectual decision.What are you going to do this afternoon: use the internet to teach yourself a new skill, solve a problem, etc? Or are you going to use it to learn silly slang or watch brainrot memes instead? Which of those is a better use of your time?It's clearly not a matter of intelligence. It's a matter of wisdom: many people today, especially the younger ones, are filling their skill slots with useless garbage rather than something practical. It's not entirely their fault either, it's what they've been taught by older generations. The difference is that older generations lived in a different world with fewer safety guardrails to catch fuckups, and with fewer opportunities for those fuckups to happen in the first place. Let's say a hypothetical boomer is obsessed was obsessed with cartoons: best case scenario, assuming his family could even afford a TV, is that he could watch them for a couple hours on Sunday AM. After that, our boomer friend had no choice but to get out and do something else. There was no smartphone, no nintendo, so circumstances forced this person into social situations and to learn practical skills. Maybe he goes and rides his bike with the other kids in the neigborhood, breaks it, then learns to fix it. Today a cartoon-obsessed kid can watch cartoons 24-7 on their phone or a computer. Maybe mommy and daddy made the problem worse by shoving a smartphone in his face to keep him quiet while they were out running errands. That person is freely able to indulge in their addiction with little to stop them. This person isn't less intelligent than the boomer--in fact the opposite is probably true. But the alphas and zoomers have been born into a world where it is very, very, easy to fall into traps that waste all your time and fill all your skill slots with crap.
>>64745640Yes, but the typical 8th grade education attainment of that era resulted in a person on average who had more in their heads than today's average high school "graduate"
How many armored soldiers from the late middle ages would you need to appreciably affect a bronze age battlefield?
>>64747465The Thirty Years War but without any firearm, just knights and man-at-arms fighting each other. In essence, everything I hate about fantasy and the reason why I can't get hook by it. A world perpetually stuck in the mid to low medieval technological period when it comes to warfare.I'm a sucker for 1700s men and women fashion and a sucker for 1400s and 1500s armours.
>>64746580>the first firearms made said armour obsoleteAnon, the first firearms did not make armor obsolete. Plate armor died in the 18th century; firearms started around the 10th-13th century as shitty fire lances became small cannons carried by hand (which then evolved to handgonnes and then arquebuses and so on).
>>64746615Bullet proofed plate was even heavier than the usual sort, generally only stopped bullets to the torso, and even still mostly from smaller firearms at the time.The full-sized handhelds usually could go through at anything but longer distances.
>>64747484off the top of my head they helped kick the Ottomans out of Italy preventing Rome from falling like Constantinople did, they were involved in a bunch of central European campaigns in Hungary and Bohemia >>64746214>It doesn't matter that they weren't widespread in one regionwhat does matter is that Han Chinese crossbows predated a shit ton of advancements in material science and design thus typically they had half the draw weight of a Medieval version if not less, they really wouldn't have much impact on late Medieval plate armor.
>>64747681Depended on range and even then it certainly want a done thing even by the 19th century, the arms/armor race was well in full swing in the 16th and 17th centuries.And even then, though it is night and day compared to older armor you have the likes of Ned Kelly or the WW1 breastplates that did function against even modern firearms

>>64740622I have both the M110 and SCAR. I prefer the SCAR. KNS discarder (13 pos gas selector) is a game changer for the weapons system. I can easily tune the gun to any silencer and any ammo type rapidly. The M110 looks sick but its a pig dipped in mud.

>>64746206Wouldn't it need to be almost infinitely strong to work? You could make clothing out of it, or infinitely durable armor.

Are the marines losing their magic? Seems less and less appealing to join the marines compared to every other branch nowadays. Was it ever good?
>>64747552All the Marines I met made a very good impression on me, funnily enough the same with ex FFL who were European, absolute gentlemen and honorable in the real sense of always repaying a favour or debt and being polite and not headbangers or bullshitters.There is a joke someone once told me thoughThe miltary are doing a recuitment drive for 18 year olds in the UK and they send a para and a royal marine commando Jimmy walks into the Para and the Para asking him why he wants to join the militaryJimmy Says"I want to defend my nation, see the world, help defend our world against madmen and dicators and become the best I can be"The Para looks at him and says"Go next door to the Marine Commandos"Billy walks into the Marine Commandos and the soldier asks him"Why do you want to join the Marine Commandos?"Comment too long.

>>64747552The Marines are rhe retard branch. Not sure what it is about them that draws the most retards, lower pay or worse conditions, whatever it may be but if you have 3 IQ points higher you go Army which is still a retarded life decision. I don't think any of the allure is left to join the military because it's basically just a bunch of Mexicans and dumb kids that flunked highschool who couldn't get hired at Walmart.
>>64747552Depends. If you actually want to do field stuff, they're more likely to get deployed in the near future than the army.
Why aren't ballistic submarines the backbone of world navies? Why haven't surface ships been relegated to carrier protection and amphibious operations? Why not make SLBMs out of RIM-66s and Standard missiles and Tomahawks and ASROCs? If you want force projection why wouldn't the ambiguity of the presence of submarines be enough to scare your enemies?
>>64741566>Why aren't ballistic submarines the backbone of world navies?They can't move men and materialThey can't launch aircraft.Badly made ones are suprisingly easy to track and kill.
>>64746755>the best asw is a hunter-killer sub.this and two of them are behind every Russian sub from the minute it leaves port.
>>64748257see lrasm. autonomous weapons are near.drop sonobuoys and the sub will kill you.
>>64748355I missed classic troll logic
>>64741566Because shooting at other navies is a relatively small part of what navies do, and it's the only thing submarines are really good at apart from vaporizing cities which is an even smaller part of what navies do.
There's a letter from Teddy Roosevelt that says he likes peep sights, but I cannot find a single example of a rifle he owned and used that has peep sights. I've seen an 1894 Winchester that the NRA has or had that has factory sights and a can he used for shooting varmints in his yard on long island so the neighbors couldn't hear (even more based because it was an 1894 and not an 1892 like a normal person, I guess Teddy wanted to feed those gophers .30-30). Cody in Wyoming has or had his 1895 winchester from Africa and that has factory open sights. Pic related is his bubba'd up 1903 with what looks like Winchester sights.There's an 1895 Winchester with a peep that was in a rock island and NRA article, but when you look into it it was a gift he gave to some other officer from the rough riders and not a gun he shot himself. there's an 1886 that was presented to him from winchester for the Africa trip but he never brought it with him so idk if he used it. There's a hawkens rifle that belonged to Kit Carson so I'd assume Kit Carson put on the sights and Teddy didn't add sights to some other famous guy's gun (though that would be based)
>>64748476That's one great way to shit up the board, make a thread for every single thought you have.

I just spent forever (fucking weeks) trying to buy fully legal parts for an AR15 in Washington so I made www.compliantarms.com over the weekend to make it easier for others.It aggregates AR15 parts listings that will ship to Washington from a few of the biggest firearms sites. For example, the only PSA listings on there are complete uppers since for whatever reason that’s all they’ll send.Have seen others having problems finding websites that ship as well so I figure it’s needed but do you guys think I should expand it to more states and more categories?
Please do NJ anon.
