How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>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/?
>>64688704>the Aztecs also had fairly remarkably social mobility through military service. Which, hey, once again mirrors Rome!Also, they had slaves but you could not be born a slave, so it was possible to rise from literal slave birth to pretty high
Thoughts about the Sedgley OSS .38? Could a modern day version be made in 9mm?: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedgley_OSS_.38
Sure, strap a P320 to your wrist and run around punching people, its basically the same thing.

Post some cool stuff.
>>64700758Why is it bad?
>>64701077Oh nvm I'm a idiot I reread it
>>64700758I'm guessing it's more for checking CNC'd dimensions than being actually used for machining but yeah it's horrible to read.
>>64700133very nice thank you fren
>>64701077Very dense and confusing. A lot of dimensions in the same viewsa. It's a style thing, not a technical one.
Will we ever get another one of these or will all wars be 24/7/365 slaughterfests going forward?
>>64701257>>64701284people will come together because of shared values, god doesn't exist and thus has no effect on these things, sorry you had to find out about it this way.
>>64701752Values based on what?
>>64701752religion, especially abrahamitic cults, are extremely dehumanizing. you can't possibly be a good person if you're not christian, and the good values of men are there only thanks to god, which means humans are nothing but worthless flesh puppets animated by a superior being. it's so fucking miserable and i wonder why people genuinely believe in it.
>>64701774Literally the opposite of what Christianity teaches.
>>64679623self inflicted isolation, sexual deprivation, profound insecurities, below average intelligence, sheer contrarianism, weak will, compulsive desire of belonging, narcissism, fatalist mindset, cynicism.overall the people pretending to be christian in this site are extremely unsavory and i wonder if they even manage to talk to anyone without being immediatly labeled a nuisance.
is there a way to make it work?
>>64700180>These were the arguments made:>completely misrepresents all arguments You're not even worth talking to
>>64698058>The tabletop rules are there to make shit simple but in the lore they have at least WW2 levels of integral combined arms.The opposite, actually. The Imperium STRICTLY enforces a zero combined arms doctrine in order to cripple any unit that might want to rebel. Any given unit has ZERO organic fire support, ZERO organic armor, ZERO organic air lift. If you are a tank unit, you operate tanks and absolutely nothing else. You might get ordered to cooperate with another formation for better effect, but everything is set up in such a way that any given unit if operating alone is intentionally crippled and incapable of dealing with a myriad of problems without cooperation.
>>64700626Here nigger>>64686483>Individual bottom of the barrel space marines should be a threat to a platoon, or at least a squad, sized guard element.And the post directly responding to mine here, you big fat ape>>64689967>No.
>>64700627>The Imperium STRICTLY enforces a zero combined arms doctrinein your schizophrenic headcanon maybemeanwhile in 40k your basic bitch prototypical Cadian infantry regiment is basically just a simplified version of a WW2 infantry battalion in most ways, with squad, platoon and company level support assets as well as some vehicles.the imperium also doesn't do anything strictly, on any level, because no authority is ever really fully in charge of it and at every level you've got people doing whatever the fuck they can get away withthe only real strict barrier is the separation between navy, guard and planetary/system defense forces. tactically anything goes.
>>64700627>Any given unit has ZERO organic fire support, ZERO organic armor, ZERO organic air lift.lmao nigger what the fuck is this, not 40k for sure
What’s the best gun for hunting polar bears?
>>64693492Maybe they should have adopted the Ruger instead. Comparing the two, I think there's a strong case for the Ruger
>>64678265I heard years ago that the Inuits that actually hunt Polar Bears use AR-15's. Hence, .223Win/5.56mm ammo.
>>64693479Immediately came to my mind too
>>64678265What these guys had was probably fine so any modern developments are probably better than that. Doesn't count if you're fighting a supernaturally charged man-bear (pig optional)

Why were the huge Qing Dynasty armies so ineffective in the Opium Wars? They have to be the most one-sided wars in history.

>>64699390It's hilarious how you're checking this thread and 4chan every minute if your waking life while I don't respond for hours I've been off of 4chan why you insta reply to most of my posts seething Nafri rapebaby.Chinese in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Kokang, Kunming in Yunnan, Guiyang in Guizhou, Huaihua, Fenghuang in Hunan and Meizhou in northeast Guangdong don't even know what Japanese soldiers look like since they were never occupied by JapaneseMy home town was never occupied by Japanese while every inch of your land was raped by North Africans and USSR Mongoloid soldiers.Your Filipino, Korean, Indonesian and Vietnamese "allies" ALL have Japanese in their 23andme while I have zero Japanese.Seethe and die in your rage.

>>64701600Jesus, you're still here? Are you this booty blasted that several people can see that it's still you Rapechink? I'm not even the guy you're going schizo about but I can and will call you that since that is what you are. The fact you came back after the thread was dead for several hours to still keep schizoing out is fucking pathetic. Genuinely, just stop using the internet for a while and touch some grass.
>>64700988MGs in general fuck, regardless of faction.The British, however, have the absolute worst AT and yet face King Tigers in the late game.
>>64701302They have 17 pdrs (if you can get them up there lmao)
>>64701313Nah, any kind of fixed artillery gets fucked hard. Tanks do as well.Any kind of tank combat in Bridge Too Far is basically laser tag. The AI has an accuracy advantage so the minute they can fire you're dead. Your best hope are infantry AT ambushes.

Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?
>>64697813
>>64689399They don't, they probably reduce the chances of survival given you're wrapping your apc in flammable shit. He said it gives you 10% more peace of mind, basically emotional support up-armoring.>>64686289They tested it during WW2, it doesn't
>>64680529>The trashbags help to keep them waterproof.I used to burn cardboard because it wouldn't fit in my trashcan. Then I learned it could just wet and mold it.
>>64699436I submit to you:>>64677112>>64677114>>64679731
>>64680529>>64686202Kek, based Flips. If they could get their act together, they'd be a regional power.
The brits did It with during WW2 to fight off German subs and Luftwaffe raiding their merchant ships, called CAM (Catapult Assisted Merchantmen, ship) and MAC (Merchant Aircraft Carriers): https://youtu.be/i6BqpInpZ2wSo nowadays with Steam and Electromagnetic catapults and CAA/UCAVs wouldn't that be much easier?
>>64696289Aren't they completely obsolete now that F35-Cs are around in large numbers?I can't imagine they are any cheaper to maintain either, given their age.
better to just turn them into cheap arsenal ships nowadays.
>>64695479The chinks actually made a modern day CAM ship lmao!
This is AI trying to cope with Clive Cussler's "Oregon" (don't remember if it was a USS or not). That fucking thing was a freighter/data center/submersible tender/missile truck/5 star restaurant... man Cussler was fun to read but his tech was REAL retarded.If I armed freighters it'd be with frogmen in peace time to plant remotely armed mines or something.The one good thing about the Oregon was it's drone swarm before drones were a meme.
>>64701738to expand: Patrick Robinson wrote armed freighters all the time, Alistair MacLean, ?Clancy? (I don't really remember), Frederick Forsyth, Don Winslow, all wrote armed freights (and like the AI thing, they are ALL super shoehorned).

Somewhere, sometime, a man in a crystalline tower throws a switch and Armageddon is both triggered and avoided.Now time itself switches direction.The same sunshine we've basked in will warm the faces of our descendants generations to come.
>>64700218>>64700386>>64700698Schizos may not like it, but the US is 6 million years ahead in military tech. The US military & government holds the keys to the meaning of life & death, has both friendly & evil alien helpers (ET/FNORD), psychic "remote viewing" spie's, time travel tech, fleets of reverse-engineered antigravity alien tech "TR-3B Black Triangle" flying ship's powered by element 115, communication with ghosts the afterlife & the unborn, triple-barreled M551A666 PsychoSheridan tank's, 75th Rangers exoskeleton-hip-fired gyro-stabilised 120mm infantry mortar's with pinpoint accuracy during 25mph sprint, access to other "parallel" universe's, NSA/DARPA GGGQEP quantum ∞(±6^∀)Petahertz miconpossessors to eavesdrop on every single electronic & non-electronic communication in the world even sign language underneath 1km of EMF Kevlar, "Rods from God" (just 1 orbital tungsten telephone pole = two Czar Bombas), the 300,000-strong "Fighting Molemen" U.S. SUBTERRANEAN FORCE, FT LEE VA (the secret "7th branch" existing since 1899), quantum IFVs, "phase-shifting" Armored Recovery Vehicles, new "Stealth" tech that makes jet's invisible to Radar. Shoulder-fired ASAT missiles. Stealth field kitchens. This is publicized in Stargate SG1, scientific research publication Popular Science, only a fraction of the more spooky & shadowy stuff not listed above is merely hinted at in Marvel Cinematic Universe™, history documentary Red Alert 2, French time travel documentary Life is Strange (David Madsen was a rogue DIA test subject), but the pardoned parcel is the US of A is at least 6 million years ahead in military tech even without the help of alien's. It is 6 million years ahead though the exact number fluctuates due to the activities of the US Military Time Travel Program underneath Barksdale AFB, L.A., this 6 million years ahead is a universally agreed-upon average by the world & intergalactic/ET scientific communities.
>>64700386they were talking about shit that's considered cutting edge today back in 2003, including using plasma as control surfaces and shit like that. At the very least they were two very highly educated engineers in the field making shit up for fun, because all the technobabble checks out under close inspectionif they WEREN'T making it up... the war with china is going to be very funny and very short
