>>64751491I have a weird gun in my collection that I sure as shit would never fire again. It's basically a very old Smith j frame in 38special but it is stupid lightweight. It feels like a toy. It literally weighs as much as a 43C. The cylinder is not magnetic and it was made well before scandium and titanium cylinders were a thing. I can only assume that it is a grenade with an aluminum cylinder. I've shot it before and it kicked like a motherfucker with standard pressure low recoil hydrashoks.

I just got a high paying job and in celebration I'm going to update my arsenal. Pls give input on my choices for these roles and let me know if there's something better:>Ruger SFAR as main DMR rifle, open to other short receiver .308 ARs or a .308 bullpup>M&P9 or 10mm Witness as handgun, I do live in grizzly country and this will be my primary HD/clearing gun>Kel Tec RDB as building clearing/HD rifle>KSG as HD shotgun>Mossberg Aftershock as drone gun to be worn on a scabbard, can also double as bear gun with slugs>300WM rifle as sniper (undecided but either a cheapo Savage bolty or go all in and get a Desert Tech SRS for $6k)Already have my carry guns set and most of the common rifles for range funs but want specific ones that best fill those roles. What are your go-to's?
>>64750963Get a 308 Jakl, if you like bullpups they have the Olcan kit for the 5.56 but not the .308 "yet." PSA typically does deliver on their promises though.>t. been waiting for a 308 RDB from lel kek for a decade now and it ain't gonna happen
>>64751210Anon what alternate reality do you live in where Glocks are bad? They aren't sigs
>>64751264The MWS is a heavy gun but it's more than worth it for the accuracy and reliability imoMy sister-in-law has an RDB-C and it's a fun little gun. The C and S models are sleek and easy to carry, real handy innawoods. She likes it because it's easy to hide and her parents are furiously antigun but I'm guessing you're not living at home with mommy and daddy. Triggers good, the gun's surprisingly reliable and downward ejection is nice. On the other hand, it feels like a cheap plastic dollar-store toy to hold, one of the screws backed itself and disappeared into the grass (might wanna loctite em all) and the thin barrel is very temperature sensitive. I love my AUG though. It's a joy to shoot, it's more accurate and way more robust. It's a gun I'd actually be happy to rely on in a shooting. The stock trigger is a gritty and mushy but not to the extent that it ever impeded my ability to shoot. I've got the Ratworx 2020 sear in it now and that's made the trigger a lot crisper.
the goyim are craving their funkopops
>>64752272I mean it's 6 rifles, not exactly a collection. Currently it's just AK, G3, and AR15 which is for work. But those two first choices are becoming less and less viable. AKs are not as common as they used to be and it's a fucking nightmare to clear with the G3. It's difficult to mount stuff to them too, the G3 currently doesn't have a non-janky way to mount a light. Can't blame a guy for wanting to modernize and have short guns that actually work with my tactics.
Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.
>>64749742
>>64731902The answer is the FN Five-seveN. I basically use it for exactly what you describe.>Subsonic rounds22lr sub equivalent with the benefit of being cf.>Supersonic rounds22wmr (rifle barrel) equivalent good for whitetail on down.It's honestly the perfect gun and I wouldn't really need to own anything else except where state laws steps in and requires certain bore diameter for the type of game in question.I chose it over 9mm because a woods gun needs to be lightweight, it's quieter than anything else out there in cf except a 4.6, penetrates better than basically all commercial pistol rounds aside from meme shit. It's basically the perfect gun tbqhwy.
>>64743991Also a good option if you're too poorfag for a five seven. Well done anon.
>>64751990Okay I know you are bullshitting. 5.7 absolutely does not penetrate better than normal pistol rounds and 5.7 is loud af. 5.7 is a good round, but I sure as hell would never use it as a woods gun unless the biggest thing you may run into is a stray shitbull.
>>64751990> it's quieter than anything else out there in cf except a 4.6Doubt. It’s a higher pressure bottleneck round. >penetrates better than basically all commercial pistol rounds aside from meme shitAgainst hard targets like mild steel, aluminum, or kevlar vests. Not against flesh. It’s too light and it’s wounding mechanism is upsetting and tumbling in flesh. That’s not conducive to penetration. Post your 5.7. I doubt you own one.
Taiwan might be alright.
>>64721873I know the thread has devolved into useless shit-flinging (as usual) but how old were these radars and what missile systems were they paired with? You can't shoot anything down with radar alone.
>>64749322Go read up on the radar in question and you'll understand what's wrong with your question.
>>64749827What does reading about the radar have to do with knowing what SAMs were in place?
>>64751410>What does reading about the radar have to do with knowing what SAMs were in place?If you read up on the radar, you'll know what's wrong with that question. You could have already done that.
>>64749169Agreed. SIR, ANOTHER 10 BILLION TO ANDURIL.
Presumably they're not going to use an homme with a good throwing arm for the production version.This provides the exact same benefits as for air-launched cruise missiles, right?
>>64752034More that that the say>fly birdie, fly!In a sexy french accent baby voice. Hon hon hon!
>>64752037>French officials involved in the trials emphasized that such testing is essential to refine numerical models. Multiple physical and mechanical parameters must be understood and controlled, including separation dynamics, aerodynamic behavior in the aircraft’s wake, impact forces, and the structural resilience of the drones themselves.

Russia has for the first time deployed new strike drones, the 'Geran-5' and 'Geran-4'.>Russian forces first used the new strike drone 'Geran-5' during attacks on Ukraine in early 2026, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. The drone is a large jet-powered UAV with a classic aerodynamic design, differing from earlier models.>The 'Geran-5' has a length of about 6 meters and a wingspan of about 5.5 meters. It is equipped with a Chinese-made turbojet engine, capable of carrying a warhead weighing about 90 kg and hitting targets at a distance of up to 1,000–1,050 km. Its navigation system includes a 12-channel 'Comet' satellite system, a microcomputer-based tracker, and 3G/4G modems.>According to Ukrainian intelligence, the design of the 'Geran-5' contains elements similar to the Iranian drone Karrar. There are discussions about the possibility of launching this UAV from aircraft, such as the Su-25, and its potential equipping with 'air-to-air' missiles.>As for the 'Geran-4', it is known that it is an intermediate jet version between the early 'Geran' models and the new 'five'. According to preliminary data, this drone may have a warhead weighing about 50 kg, a speed of 350–500 km/h, a range of up to 950 km, and can also be launched from the Su-25.>Thus, the 'Geran-5' is a new jet-powered long-range strike UAV, comparable in its characteristics to a cruise missile, while the 'Geran-4' is considered its less powerful predecessor

Are there any videos/articles that predicted, either horribly or eerily well, how Russia's war in Ukraine would go? Especially concerning the military campaign.This popped up in my feed for some reason and think it made some good predictions but completely missed the drone warfare aspect and overestimated how well the Russians would do, but atleast captured the fact that it wouldn't be over in days/weeks like some did during the time. https://youtu.be/Z9c_HhpvBpg?si=23WNr_6ZRtzhcFqM

>>64742485>ommentating how much smarter Putin would have been if he'd just had the military practice on the border and that was itIt absolutely would have been. Not only does he avoid the humiliation and casualties, he would probably successfully communicate to Zelensky: "You're all alone, NATO isn't coming to save you" and then strongarmed him into whatever sort of deal he wanted, while at the same time diminishing american credibility and making NATO look impotent.
>>64725916Binkov had a prediction video that was more or less spot on, that he released just before the invasion.

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?
>>64749409Going back 80 years to find a counterexample only proves the point.
>>64741566I bet in the future we will have submarine carrier either drones only or planes too. The only issue is that they wouldn't be great for scouting since it would reveal their position and ruin their greatest strenght.Also submarine lack the presence of surface ship, how can you patrol and show force if it's all hidden? Maybe better for war but not as useful during peace.
>>64741566Something no-one has said yet: Submarines are inherently slow. They wall out much, much faster than surface ships. They need vastly more horsepower-per-knot and each extra knot takes exponentially more power. More power and/or speed = more noise unless you spend absolutely appalling amounts of money and even that won't save you after a while.Boomers are expensive as fuck. Only a handful of nations have ever built them. Subs that can surface to launch are a little bit easier to make, but lose their primary advantage. Naval reactors are even harder to make than a subsurface launch platform. Not only is a sub expensive as fuck to make, it's incredibly hard to maintain. Unlike a surface ship, you can't do a bodged patch job on a weak section of hull and make it home, and any one of dozens of systems failing is a death sentence rather than an embarassing limp home.>>64746693>Or join the USN and get drunk on toilet wineYou act like the good ol' boys can't make a proper fermentation lock, source a food-grade bucket, and build hidden stills in the engineering spaces.>bunkieEw, no, you have to smell his fucking feet every night. At least swap berthings. >>64749484Yes, because any evidence for that is classified higher than Minuteman design. Russkies are jumpy as shit about it, always have been.
>>64749484>There is no evidence we 24/7 track every Russian sub in the world.other than all the personal testimonials and memoirs by Cold War sub captains and crew and ops staff
>>64751205This>Submarines are inherently slow.Should note that this is a feature, not a bug. Submarines are deliberately made with a slow cruising speed to minimize noise. It's not something that can or even should be fixed. >Not only is a sub expensive as fuck to make, it's incredibly hard to maintainUnlike a surface ship, you can't do a bodged patch job on a weak section of hull and make it home, and any one of dozens of systems failing is a death sentence rather than an embarassing limp home.And the anechoic tiles are always falling off, the hull HAS to be made of steel and steel rusts in seawater, cookiecutter sharks are always trying to take bites out of the hull, and it's not like you can send out a bosun's mate and two seamen first class to scrape barnacles off the hull whenever you like.
