>The Americans can no longer be trusted>Russia is threatening>China is threatening>The Americans are threateningWhy don’t all countries just acquire nuclear weapons? If sufficient numbers of countries take this step then all threats of sanctions from non-compliance lose their significance. Israel already set the precedent by showing how nuclear weapons inspections and the sanctions tied to them have no meaning.First one should build a large stockpile of nerve agents and genetically modified biological weapons so that deterrence remains in effect while the bombs are being built. Olympic pools of VX being pumped to cheap drones with spray tanks would be enough since the poison will remain in the terrain as microscopic droplets for months thus neutralizing enemy population centers even if the vast majority of launches are intercepted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGE_oMVJ50I
>>64754354Sweden is like 2% of Europe, I applaud its success, but going from a poor irrelevant country to a rich irrelevant country doesn't change much. Obviously what I'm saying is an exaggeration and I apologize for being overly conclusory, but the broader point remains, Europe, especially its major powers, have been in relative decline on the world scale for a long time.This is a problem for the U.S. because every day our friends become a smaller share of the world economy, military power, and population. If in the long-run, Europe goes to zero (and the trend has been Europe consistently lags behind global growth rates) we do need to think carefully about how to safeguard American interests.
It's crazy how treacherous euros are and the moment they're asked to do anything (which would be in their own interest) they throw a fit and double down on their treachery. I always knew this was their nature, but the real eyeopener was when they screech about supporting Ukraine while completely undermining US sanctions. I'm 100% convinced that heavy US military presence is the only reason western Europe hasn't snaked itself and started another war (not with Russia, with themselves). If the US packed up and left, the continent would devolve into another war within a decade because it's a continent of backstabbing, selfish, evil creatures. The european populace are genuinely the worst allies in the world, fortunately for them, they're ruled by bureaucrats that allow the US to tard wrangle them.
>>64754425This is a little harsh. However, as a former NATO fanboy I've been a little turned off by how quickly so many Euro's reaction to Trump II has been "fuck you America we're going to dump all your treasuries and ally with China." It made me realize we really are nothing but a paypig to a lot of Europeans.
>>64754425That might actually be better since it would force them to be racist and kick out all the darkies, which might have the knockon effect of letting US do it. Globohomo is shit and everybody who isn't a libtard(cuckservatives are also libtards) or a jew hates it. Ironically those who benefit the most from Globohomo are the collective forces of Gulaghomo, the Ruskies, Chinks, and assorted muds. They are deliberately treated with kid gloves and in the case of Chinkland given preferential treatment for decades. I really hope the US hegemony falls tomorrow only to be replaced with a genocidal white nationalist American Empire just to see their faces when they get what they wish for.Lets be clear that GDP is bullshit because you have claim to have a giant GDP by selling hostess cupcakes to obese niggers who buy them with food stamps. China's GDP is 20% ponzy schemes and 50% subsistence level slavery for example. The USSR was considered very stronk back in the day, but both the shit we got from their archives in the 90s and the more recent revelations about Rusky gear and organization make it abundantly clear they were vastly overestimated at the time. Europe could be a major player and the US could solver essentially all its problems just by being racist assholes, its really that easy.
>>64752497Since all of Europe has shown itself to be an enemy of the US, including Britain, we should leave nato and no longer fund any of them or supply and of them with protection or weapons of any sort, we will see how they like this

Sorry your thread’s getting no traction bro.I like Ron Spomer. Something about his channel is real comfy, and I share his autism for cartridge minutiae.
If I wanted to run black powder through a shotgun for innawoods larp; should I do it with my mossberg shockwave, my 835 ultimate mag, or would should I buy a cheap maverick 88?
Do with whatever is easiest to clean, if that means getting a cheap break action do that.
>*shits up gun culture forever*
>>64753903Is till wish that Cold War had come out with an actual 1980's selection of weapons instead of... what he fuck was that? It was the same as ever other shooter. Do these assholes have sponsorship by Heckler and Cock?
>>64754283I went and looked it up and I hadn't realised that instead of the modular weapon system that the MW games use, they were still just using discrete guns. No fucking excuses then jesus christ, why is there a QBZ-95 in a game set in the 80's?I also don't understand how the carbine AR is an 'assault rifle' but the M16 is a 'tactical rifle'. Alongside the Aug, M14 and Norinco nugget clone.Looking this shit up made my day worse. Treyarch used to have a lot more fun with this stuff.
>>64747549last i checked there's only a map for like 3 of the zones and they're all from the original unexpanded forms of the areas
>>64748109just play SPT. its cheaper and moddable
>>64754311It would have been amazing if they'd just put in some Uzis and Mac-10's and .38 revolvers, vanilla M-16s, and maybe licenced some music of the period. Instead, it was just Call of Duty with more smoking in the cut scenes.
Anyone here actually use D-Lead products, or any leadremovers in general?I am currently looking at wipes, hand soap, body wash & shampoo, laundry detergent, and a lot more but theres too many to name...How many should I buy, and should I just buy all of them to be safe?I shoot a fair amount and I’m going to be shooting way more this year than I ever have, and I'm starting to wonder how paranoid I should be about lead exposure...Because I’ve heard horror stories about young dudes who shot their whole lives, never wore gloves, never washed right, ate at the range, reloaded bare-handed and endedup with fcknCANCER or straight up DEAD a few decades later from lead poisoning.>Is this a legit concern, or am I turning into a schizo?>What precautions actually matter (ventilation, washing hands, changing clothes), and what’s overkill?>I also have Pets, and I don't want them getting sick either.
>>64754353D lead wipes are good if you can't wash your hands right after shooting but otherwise soap and water is fine.This is very exposure dependent. If you just shoot outdoors now and then it's really just about wiping stuff down and washing your skin and clothes. God forbid you work at an indoor range or shoot at one regularly though.
>>64754755soap and water is like 5% as effective as ASML/EDTA.
Get a heavy metals test done at quest, its $120 on jason health. I had one done after 20 years of shooting and I'm fine. I'm always amazed at the amount of people that just get in their vehicle after shooting at the range without washing their hands.
>>64754353get tested anonI have been shooting prone indoors for 3 years, but cleaning hands 2x before getting out the rangemy lead is very concerning, almost at the alert levels for lead workers. ive seen my level rises over the yearsi am noticing that i am more irritable than before. i will be trying chelation therapy to remediate itdont be a paranoid fuck for no reasons, get data. ask a doctor. maybe you are fine, but maybe you are not
>>64754811yeah me too.ive been asking around my range if people had been tested before, im the only moron who did over almost 200 pplsno hand washing after cleaning, hravy shooting indoors...im wondering how much of the bad rep we sport shooters get is from leaded retards.
I just ordered a .308 CZ600 range for 1100 yurobucks (they usually go for 1300), did I fuck up
>>64753604or perhaps the dominance of humans lead to extinction of cave lions and the other megafauna. who knows
>>64753700>the dominance of humans lead to extinction of cave lionsSorry, I implied this and was not clear.>>64753267>would hunt Megaloceros>While most abundant in Eurasia,fossil evidence confirms its presence in North America, though it was a distinct species within the same giant deer lineage, not a direct ancestor of modern North American elk.In NA, also. Plus we had Megathierium, the giant ground sloth. And Priodontes maximus, the largest living armadillo. About like a 6 foot round ball, with bones that have revealed clear human predation in Central America. Surelu a .308 would have been good enough for all these, perhaps excepting the cave bear (short faced brown bear) and the cave lion. .338winmag for those guys, if not .378 Weatherby.

>>64754726lol 30-06 is obsolete shit doubt you even use it

Russia is 100yrs ahead of USA in HMG design, and tactics.USA lost in Afghan War due to use of vintage Soviet HMG for sniper and long range harassing fire that ended any "hearts and minds" and Civil Affairs, as well as FUD and PTSD in NATO troops.

What backpacks are you guys using?
>>64754522The only part of it I disagree with nowadays (speaking specifically as a milfag to milfags) is the part about your 1st Line being strictly what's on your belt. Nobody strolls around with nothing but a micro belt load on except cops. What we will walk around in casually in a """"tactical environment"""" is just our armor sans any of our fighting gear. I can't even take a shit without my armor on. They'd make me sleep in it if they could. I'd amend it to be a less specific on what kind of gear it is. 1st Line: The shit you EDC whether you're in a TOC or in a trenchline. What's in your pockets and on your mostly-slick armor vest. 2nd Line: The shit that comes on when boss man says it's time for a raid and to leave everything behind but water and ammo. Your actual combat load to include team and mission gear. Belts (big or small), placards, assault packs, etc. 3rd Line: The shit that lives in the glorified duffel bag you call a rucksack because all it's for is sleep gear and extra clothes. Or an actual duffel bag because let's be real: nobody walks more than a few miles anywhere anymore. Even the 82nd gets handed vehicles the second they show up in a real warzone.
>>64754640A TNF 27l bag. I’ve found 30l is the sweet spot for about 75% of everything. If you need more, scale up accordingly. Finding a proper 30l with a good hipbelt is something though.

What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
>>64746990mpre funkopops = less empty inside
>>64753815Because we weren't meant to live like this
>>64746392start engineering your own weapons
>>64746392Fucking get an actual gun with a license. You're not some kind of lowlife whose preconvictions stop him from that, are you? Make friends with people who have guns too.>>64746405>>64746414Get a sword and maybe a spear. Real, historically accurate replicas, not mallninja bullshit. There are plenty of options for a few hundred eurobucks, and they blow repurposed tools or homemad shit out of the water. Get a shield too, and pepper spray on top. Mind you, the most likely use for this is giving it to a friend who has no gun. While you carry a gun.
>>64754215Buy a lathe, a drill press, and a bunch of quality tooling. If anyone asks sperg out about d.i.y. miniature steam engines. They will never mention it again.
Realistically, what firearm would you need to take down a rampaging Na'vi from the Avatar films? Nine feet of solid muscle and bone (reinforced with natural carbon fibre), extremely fast-moving and agile, fighting on their own turf with very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut it, would 7.62mm be enough?
>>64754822I think Varang grabbing him is most likely. Na’vi women seem to be super loyal to their husbands.
>>64754667Does that mean if one sits on my face I won't die?
Oh boy another thread of people taling braindead masses slop seriously.It's a movie with a sole purpose of telling a story.

>>64753352I remember reading reports from Mogadishu of Rangers mag-dumping into a skinny and they were still running around and firing back for a while. Try doing that to a 9ft 600lb Na'vi.
>>64753610Plus the muscles would be very dense like those of a chimpanzee.
