Call me when someone revives Coonan. Those guns were big, but not as retardedly big as the LAR. And they looked nice too.
Greetings pol,Ever wonder what Trump actually meant when he said we had Jet aircraft that could literally disappear? Not just from radar, but from optical light too. The media called him crazy, here's what he meant.Now let's consider this, do you know what a Luneburg lens is? It can be used in devices that under certain conditions act as phase conjugate time reversal mirrors. Especially if a Bose Einstein Condensate is used as a buffer. Anyway, a configuration such as this can probably me used as a type of "Active Cloak" or "Broadband Cloak" for an aircraft (as Luneburg Lens's are already installed upon most US stealth aircraft for supposedly different purposes). Probably functioning in a way similar to how acoustic time reversal mirrors cancel unwanted noise.A properly made luneburg lens antenna would be of a layered metamaterial, with a gradient refractive index from the outside surface, to the innermost point. By it's nature, it's already designed to reflect EM energy back along the path that was taken to reach the antenna/lens...combined with a BEC acting as a buffer material and with a negative refractive index, we can create what is a perfect time-reversal lens.Officially, these types of devices are only put onto stealth planes to make them more observable to radar during training exercises. However they can also make their radar profile much larger than the plane itself (obfuscating radar)...but what if it was used to either bend light around the craft? Or create destructive interference around the craft in order to eliminate any radar return?

>>64663259>>64668521A26's were ridiculously effective and efficient, but suffered from airframe fatigue.I worked on an "OnMark" that flew out of Goodyear back in the 90's, and the owners said they NEVER used the full power of the 2800's just to try and reduce wear on the airframe. Not the engines. The airframe. They could replace the engines.
>>64699456>airframe fatigueBecause they were manufactured in the mid-1940s(also, the 1950s and later remanufactures/modifications had already been the subject of STCs and rebuilds; see the recent A-20 Havoc thread)

His reviews turned into something that felt like a guy talking about guns as himself and more into a parody of himself with "how do you do fellow channers" type lingo. Y'know buzzwords and idk a slur in between here and there. Getting through his review of that metal framed canik was unbearable. I fucking get it roach gun blah blah blah brown, blah blah blah [insert something about being turkish here]. Maybe I like content that actually dryly talks about whatever they're talking about and im not a guy that scoffs at someone throwing out a slur here and there but at least sound like you actually mean it.

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
Okay, i'm starting now re: >>64647358 / >>64654060 / >>64690132 etcIt was probably pretty effective, but how much so is debatableOn the Native side, both codices and textual accounts have them severing necks and limbs (see the Florentine Codex in >>64647358 and in pic related). The Spanish also praise it's lethality, Diaz states:>and two-handled stone edged swords, which cut better than our swords...made with stones which cut worse than knives, so cleverly arranged, that one can neither break nor pull out the bladesThe chronicler Baltasar Dorantes de Carranza also states Macuahuitl cut better then Spanish swords ("...las macanas, espadas de navaja que cortaban mexor que las nuestras...") but he may just be parroting Diaz (tho Diaz's account wasn't widely published yet at the time). Meanwhile, Diaz himself I suspect is also pulling from another Conquistador, the "Anonymous Conquerer", who said>They have swords...of wood... like a two-handed sword, but with the hilt not so long; about three fingers in breadth. The edges are grooved, and in the grooves they insert stone knives, that cut like a Toledo knife. I saw one day an Indian fighting with a mounted man, and the Indian gave the horse...a blow in the breast that he opened it to the entrails, and it fell dead...I saw another Indian give another horse a blow in the neck, that stretched it dead at his feetWith this likely being the origin of various other Spanish claims that Macuahuitl could behead a horse in a single stroke. As you can see here, the original claim is not quite as impressive, but still attests to it being effective. Francisco Hernández de Córdova, another Conquistador, claims it could split a man in two, but in contrast to Diaz, states that after one use the blades broke or came off:Comment too long.

>>64642130>The Mesoamericans were pretty advanced when it came to agriculture, astronomy, and sanitatiomIncas had agricultural techniques at 18-19th century level Europe, including open field laboratories for plants
>>64698364I'll get to this in my dump (>>64698336) but the Mesoamericans also had experimental botanical sites like Inca ones
>>64680543>>64687468>>64688705It was loosely based on meso American culture.Mel Gibson says himself, that the movie is about American culture in the US. we lost our ways and became overly capitalist (jewish) and embraced human sacrifice (abortion(also jewish)) and we will be conquered by foreigners unless we change our ways and return to God.
>>64698336cont:Further down the spectrum of criticism we have Las Casas, who says also says blades fell out and broke easily, and that while they could "split a man's head open"(?), that they couldn't sever limbs (at least cleanly) and couldn't behead horses, because the wooden shaft would limit penetration into flesh:>Por armas tenian...espadas de palo y: hincadas unas navajas de las piedras que arriba dejimos negras como pedernales, y aunque con éstas pueden hender la cabeza a un hombre, pero no cortar cercén un brazo, puesto que le corten o quiebren o troncen el hueso, cuanto menos cortar cercén un pescuezo de un caballo con riendas y todo, como algunos dicen por engrandecer sus hazafias. La razon es la que arriba sefialamos, conviene a saber, porque no tienen tanta fuerza los filos de las dichas navajas, que facilmente los pierden. Lo que podran efectuar con aquella espada en el pescuezo del caballo, sera dalle herida cuanto entraren los filos en la carne, que no pasaran de un canto de real de plata, porque todo lo otro es grueso, por tener el lomo...Obviously some claims of their lethality and durability both on the Native and Spanish side are embellishments, but Casas was a missionary and I'm not sure he ever saw them in active combat, unlike Diaz, the Anonymous Conqueror, and Cordova, and as seen below, even poor replicas show it could in fact cut deep into flesh, and may also show they weren't one use weapons. Also, all that said, if they weren't effective, then the Mesoamericans wouldn't have used them and the Spanish wouldn't bother praising them.The Mesoamericans were not idiots or lacking good equipment: we're talking about urban civilizations that had cities (which could match some of the larger contemporary European ones in size and infrastructure) and complex governments for thousands of years before the Spanish showed up, and who had organized armies that used actual armor and specific and varied types of weapons, see pic2/?
Chile sending Marders to Ukraine, possibly Leopards.Chile has sent an initial batch of 30 Marders to Europe as part of an extended ringtauche scheme. They will be refitted and sent to the Ukrainian frontline. Chile will recieve Skyranger equipped vehicles in return.It is likely that aging Leopard 1s in Chilean service will be sent along with more Marders.Chile planned to refit it's Leopard 1 fleet as missile destroyers and smart mortar carriers as Chilean Leopard 2s and Marders are upgraded by FAMAE and Turkish partners to totally replace all Leopard 1 tanks and M113 remaining in service. Now it seems that the Leopard 1 and YPR76 vehicle pools may be done away with entirely at a rapid pace, sent abroad, as the Leopard 2A4CHL and Marders become the reserve units at an accelerated pace.A staunch NATO ally, Chile has flirted with purchasing new build Leopards over the years as well as Puma and Lynx infantry fighting vehicles with German arms makers even proposing domestic production. The time for that may come soon. With the sometimes hostile neighbor Peru set to soon induct the K2 MBT and an 8x8 IFV variant of the K808 into service and rival Brazil likely to acquire the CV90MKIV and a new yet announced MBT soon, it is likely that Chile, now with a new pro-military cabinet elect will choose to acquire new build modern armor.

i see no point in bullpup rifles, i mean they go trough all that work, only to provide miniscule results, all because they keep recirculating AR derived slop design. the only guns i have seen as a viable solution is either KRASA or the "grip repeating rifle", and not for its name sake.. only the bolt design. anyhow, this is my take on what a bullpup should be.. it feeds from behind magazine, so you obtain 3 more inches of barrel, mix this with the bullpup setup and suddenly what should be a 10" barrel gun, can become a 20"..
>>64700903>>64701053i think most of the AR15 domination stems from the fact that it is light and has intuitive controls. grunts have to spend slightly less time figuring it out and they don't get annoyed with lugging it around. and the actual combat meta has been to magdump in the enemy's direction for the past 80 years so any ballistic benefit you might get from a bullpup barely matters.and i think now you have other countries switching to something similar because no one wants to risk an L85 situation by reinventing the wheel. just use what works and have a pint. etc.

>>64701113so how does it eject if there's no new case to push it out?you'd need a rod, which would require you to make the stock longer to fit the rod. way too long.
>>64701359I thought about this. Basically, 4 cylinder drum, feed at 6 o'clock, fire at 12 and eject at 9. Magazine directly under the barrel and in front of the 6 o'clock chamber. You would need some sort of sleeve to bridge cylinder-barrel gap as to have no gas bleed off. Most complex thing is the op rod because it will split bottom left and top to do 3(4) timed/staggered functions in one go (feeding, ejecting, rotating and locking the sleeve)

It's almost time for $0 tax stamps. You can finally, legally, have fun. Buy a $400 P1S from Bambu, some Pa6-cf filament from polymaker, and get to work. Some 3dp2a guys released the FTN 5.0 suppressors recently. There are suppressors for pistols, pcc's, and rifles. Let's talk about the last one.To start out you will need ONE of these muzzle devices:>Breek threaded muzzle+ Castle Shield <-Best one>KAK slimline micro flash can>1/2x28 to 3/4x16 thread adapterNow you can print an insert that will attach the suppressor body to the muzzle device. The breek insert is a clamshell design. Put the two halves onto the castle shield and screw on the suppressor assembly. The other two will need some epoxy.IF you want the suppressor to be permanent, epoxy the threads of the insert and suppressor body. It'll help with the longevity and make a better gas seal.The main body will NEED to be supported by a sleeve. You can print the sleeve, but the lifespan is shorter with a lot of restrictions. You can use a 56mm ID and 60mm OD aluminum OR carbon fiber tube with jb weld. You can also use fiberglass and resin wrapped around the tube, but this is less effective.Comment too long.

>>64697826This is something I want to learn more about, just have not had the time so thanks for posting anon.Did anyone submit today? I did 3 sbrs that hopefully get approved, just the whole thing is weird like I thought they said January 1st was getting rid of the CLEO notification, but one of the application steps literally asked for which one, they also don't have a new RPQ form for trustees, and the old one has the CLEO notification, so hopefully they don't deny me and send me to the back of the line with their own messed up bureaucracy.
