How are Norden submarines so stealthy?
>>64759465The exercise would be pointless if the surface commander were to issue a directive stating "German sub entering search area from S-SW". The idea is to detect it starting from a completely unknown position. In an actual combat situation, the enemy won't be courteous enough to announce their approach vector.
>>64759625Sure. But the nature of exercises gives submarines, and specifically diesel submarines, a huge advantage. This goes double for international exercises where you might not want to show every card in your hand, even to allies
>>64759635That's because those types of exercises are intended to replicate a surface action group or carrier battlegroup operating closer to the coast, where SSKs might be lurking. So some provision is given to the diesel boat, in order to actually reach the staging point.
>>64759635The old type 206 doesn’t have much endurance in them, being traditional diesel electric, so their chance of catching a CSG in the open ocean, or even anywhere that isn’t right off the coast is slim.That said, an exercise like this is still valuable, since the modern DE with AIP engine will likely be much faster with longer endurance overall, so you can’t rely on the same trick of waiting until the sub battery is fully exhausted, as the case with older DE anymore
>>64759322Shhh there’s no room for nuance in 2001 + 25, just shit flinging

So I’d like one of the recreator Ak 12 pattern rifles, my first choice would be the 15 but they are out of stock so that leaves the 5.45 or 5.56. I have an m85 but I don’t think the mags are compatible. Any thoughts? I figure the 5.56 is the obvious choice, I could just wait for the 15 to be available again.
>>64759825Meant to include https://www.recreatorblanks.com/online-store/Firearms-c125246080
>>64759825All I can speak on is the magsM85 mags are based on the Galil mag so they won't be compatible with that rifle, yes. You need 74-footprint mags like for an AK-101.All of these I'm listing here I've used and work fine for me for AK-101 pattern mags.>AC Unity waffle mags for the AK-12 aesthetic, might be tight in your rifle though>Bulgarian ones from gunmagwarehouse>Circle 10 mags if you want to pay $50+ per mag>5.45 mag follower swaps if you have a 3d printer and are willing to print in ASA or nylon, fuck Podarms pricesThe Bulgy ones from gunmagwarehouse are probably your best bet in terms of quantity, price and reliability for 5.56.Ymmv, of course. I see no issue directly with the rifle itself either, assuming you can get the rest of the parts easily.

Wait, so .380 is quite literally all you need?
Proverbially as well.
>>64757664No. .380 is roughly equivalent to .38 Special, which beat cops figured out was NOT enuff back in, like, the 30s. Their solution was .357 Magnum, which in theory IS quite literally all you need, except putting a rimmed cartridge in an automatic makes engineers cry tears of liquid dimethylmercury. 9mm and .38 Super (basically the same thing) are close enuff when you factor in rapid fire out of an automatic plus big magazine.
>>64758934Ooh, I have one of those! Check it out!

>>64756634.35 rem is like 120 years old and you can get a henry 336 in .35 rem (I think it's only in the all brass receiver though).marlin made 336s in .35 rem since like the 50s or something. it's been a meme for a while. marlin guns also just look better than Henry guns. for some reason henry just makes the ugliest guns known to man. the only Henry gun that looks nice is the engraved? wildlife model that's only in .30-30 with the gold deer or .45-70 with the elk and bear and even then the stock on the .30-30 looks worse than a marlin 336 stock.
>>64756670>the only Henry gun that looks nice is the engraved?The one I saw is not engraveed, it's a "fancy" rcvr cover with roll embossing, that adds bulk and rattles. Not worth the price and looks gaudy.
>>64756815I'm pretty sure the steel wildlife version is engraved on the receiver. Granted the only part that looks nice is the receiver
BASED I love 35 caliber cartridges.

There is a rescue boat waiting for you on the coast. Between you and the boat is every carnivorous dinosaur from Jurassic Park films. You have one gun and all the ammo you can carry for that gun. What gun would you use?
>>64756921>One of the things I liked about the ending of the Mist is that yeah, big fleshy monsters vs army is going to end really badly for the monsters not just because the difference in firepower but the strategic planning to bring that firepower to bear with minimal casualtiesyou'd probably like dog soldiers as well
muh dik
>>64756921Based. Yeah that was one of the better reveals against viewer expectations, normally the way these things go is natives get overwhelmed and the military experiment dooms the world unless maybe one hero stops it or shit like that. Muh despair muh postapoc. Honestly was pretty damn cool and more refreshing then I would have expected to have it instead just go>"actually no, military is competent and mops these little shits up no problem, what's that you civvies panicked and murdered each other or anheroed or something rather then just run or hang tight for a bit and trust in the US military? wow sucks to be you retard."

>>64759500Honestly, you guys need to exert control over your continent (IE, sphere of influence), and its unnerving that the EU that is incapable of this. The EU has x7 the population of Russia, and what, x10 the economy? It should be posturing against Russia, testing Russia's airspace, funding and supporting separatist elements in Russia. Russia should be terrified that the EU will deploy 250,000 troops into Eastern Ukraine and rout them under the safety of a Franco-Anglo nuclear umbrella.....but this is not the case. The EU needs to become dangerous. In the words of a LA gangster, "You can't be safe here, safes get cracked. You gotta be dangerous".
>>64759824fear only works when the opponent has something to lose.putin and his cabal do not care how many russians die, as long as they remain in charge.
>>64759862Then I suppose Russia has already won.

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?

Back in june italy was pondering about the possibility of developing a nuclear carrier. Back then it was still considered too ambitious of a an endeavour and quite hefty on the navy budget, but with the current increase in tensions between europe and the usa i believe it will be accomplished. Now, what i wonder is: will the nuclear rearmament of italy influence other nations as well?https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/navy-news/2025/italy-evaluates-nuclear-powered-aircraft-carrier-under-long-term-naval-modernization-strategy
>>64752911you can't blame US when italy got psyop'd into ending their civilian nuke program through "activists". and if they don't have civ nuke program, they aren't getting nuke aircraft carrier
One of the few times that working with the F*nch would be worthwhile.
>>64752911Buddy back then if you had the slightest idea how Italy was you would have been antsy about them having anything more than surplus Carcanos. Place was absolutely riddled with pinkos from top to bottom.

>>64759704I had a "gunsmith" do a total hack job on a 1911 I gave him once. All he was doing was switching out novak sights for tritium novak sights and when I got it back from him it was shooting way off and ftfing all of a sudden. I think the front sight he used was too short but that doesn't explain the ftfs
>>64759767hmmm was it a high dollar 1911?can any anon confirm if some gunsmiths sometimes do the jeweler switcharoos? maybe he replaced some of the components on your gun?
