People like them because they're cheap, reliable enough, and run steel case. I have a SCAR, but if I didn't and had to get a .308, I would get an AR, or wait for the SCAR 2.0/ARKA to come out and just live with the fact that it's going to be expensive. Either is going to have better ergos and be easier to mount optics to than a PTR, FAL, or M14 clone.

What? That happens all the time, with people all over the world. It's certainly not going to be easy for you.

My strongest suggestion is for you to not to pursue a military career path for now. You are not your childhood, and the military is not the only place to remake yourself. You're already ahead in understanding that you should be different in the future from the you in the past.

STATE DEPATRTMENT OF REHABILITATION or equivalent.

Then maybe he shouldn't tell me he's "working on it", but I'm still in the process of seeing psychs and therapists that I can't really afford just so it looks good, anyway. Of course, I don't think I need it anymore, but obviously I'm not supposed to be the one to judge that for myself. At least I'm not the only one that agrees that I've actually been doing better without medication. I guess I just need more paperwork that essentially says "he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine he's fine, etc.", before the military actually considers that I might be fine.

Believability is high.
In power rankings, they have pretty similar tech levels but RDA is formed from washed up or failing-at-life marines so the colonial marines should curbstomp them.

they can't even keep their story straight: if, for example, Orks believing that the color red makes vehicles faster, why doesn't every single non-Ork red car or tank or plane or jetpack or what have you go faster in the mere presence of Orks?

forgot which book it is in but the Tau also do gene research of Orks and discover that their genes responsible for intelligence are being suppressed and that without said suppressed gens Grots would be extremely intelligent.

>>64706748
Ork shit is fun in that in order to work it has to look like it works enough to convince orks that it works. For the original tabletop miniature painting game that's beautiful lore. If you don't paint your ork vehicle it's canon that it's literally no good because it doesn't look fighty enough.

they have enough intelligence to recognize Gork and Mork grant holy boons to them. Why would Gork and Mork enhance enemy vehicles? And yarrick is obviously recognized as part ork or honorary ork because how else could he be like that.

>>64706748
It actually works like you said, in that it smooths the rough edges. An ork can't pick up a carrot, go pew pew and have it shoot lasers. But if he picks up a shoota, that is loaded with bullets, it will shoot those bullets, even if when examined by a non ork, said non ork would be amazed that the shoota is firing at all.

Only if you can evade for long enough to out-manouver missile. Bleeding edge systems run literal 3d flight simulators that will calculate probability of all possible future flight paths and steer the missile where it can intercept most of them.

At some point the systems will get so smart and interceptors so maneuverable a firing solution will contain any possible target path with 100% intercept. At that point the only solution would be similar system onboard calculating path where you're 100% outside of missile range or hard-kill counter measures.

>>64706896
>drop chaff and actively maneuver. This breaks lock for a second
Ackthually you put the missile on your 3-9 line and pump chaff. By travelling perpendicular to the seeker you defeat Doppler filtering.
>>64707430
When going terminal the missile has limited energy budget for maneuvers. If the radar re-acquires and has to turn to continue pursuit the missile slows down and that increases your chance of survival. Obviously you should actually fly outside of gimbal limit and make sure it can't reacquire but if it were to happen just turning a lead pursuit into a pure or lag pursuit can defeat a missile kinetically.

>>64707484
>Bleeding edge systems run literal 3d flight simulators that will calculate probability of all possible future flight paths
That makes no fucking sense.
You simply have to measure target acceleration and you can adjust to any maneuver without relying on predictions.

>>64707565
No but if you loose the sight of the target you need to simulate the most likely position of the target so you can calculate the optimal trajectory.
Doesn't require a very complicated program. Could probably run on 8-bit.

>>64707537
The re-acquire will happen very quickly if you maneuver, the seeker can pretty easily tell if it's a valid target or not when it sees the chaff cloud come to a grinding halt while a different signature is busy pulling 9 gs, right back into view of the seeker, which is gonna have a pretty decent gimbal limit and your chaff cloud is not gonna obscure that large of an area unless it's like right in front of the seeker. Sure you could potentially defeat a missile at max kinematic range that way, not saying it can't be done, but if the missile has any range left it'll still bite you. Also modern seekers use more advanced spectral and track-based methods than just doppler filtering, we can fit a ton of processing power into a smartphone, even with ruggedized equipment we can fit a lot more electronics on modern seekers.

>80kpsi fabrl = 75gr@2600fps, or 90gr@2300fps

What? Regular 5.56 can do that out of even shorter barrels. I forget which company it is but they load 5.56 NAS3 cases to 1500ft*lbs, I must assume without breaching max pressure limits, or if they are, no more than 70kpsi. and since the bullet length is the same, the powder charge will mostly (save for a small donut around the bullet) be the same as well. 80kpsi FABRL should be capable of 1600ft*lbs atleast, and this would mean 75gr@3100fps, or 90gr@2800fps. The biggest gains would be in retained energy at 300/400/500/600 yards.

>new 6.2ARC
Like a 6.8SPC vs 6.8SPCii paradigm.. Yeah I think technically this would work, and it would avoid liability. But I’m sure someone will stick it in a 6 arc gun and blow it up. Maybe if there were some way to visually differentiate the two, like case material/color or meplat paint/polymer tip? What shell shock does with their pistol cases is perfect for this, they can anodize the base any color they want. But this doesn’t work with the rifle cases unfortunately,

>>64707220
>I forget which company it is
Badlands; their 77 TMK and 55 loads are incredible. The latter gets 3000 fps out of 11" barrels. The 77s hit 18" velocities from 14.5" barrels (IIRC), and the TMK is a very nice projectile, probably the best short ogive .22 around. Badlands SST seems to be the best ammo on the market right now and I really want to shoot it.
But yeah, with them in mind my numbers are likely way off. I played it safe because of the potential influence of case capacity on MVs. I don't know how the internal ballistics work for NAS3 cases, but they seem to have similar bolt thrust despite the improved performance.
>>64707220
>But this doesn’t work with the rifle cases unfortunately,
I guess, to the court at least, it would be like putting .300 Blackout in a .223 gun, as they're legally distinct cartridges, and I don't think anyone has been sued over this. Shooting "6.2 ARC" in a 6mm ARC gun won't be as destructive anyway, the worst that could happen is a bolt shearing off after three successive magdumps.

>>64707428
>badlands
I thought it was, but I googled around and found the outlet I was thinking of. It’s these guys, and I was thinking of this load in particular:
(73gr@3040fps=1500ft*lbs)

https://blackarcmunitions.com/product/nas3-73gr-eld-m/

G7=0.2 and 1500ft*lbs is a massive improvement over G7=0.15 and ~1250ft*lbs. this is a difference of almost 300ft*lbs at 300yds, or around +45% more energy. And obviously with shorter flight time, less wind drift, less drop, longer MPBR.

If you really want to weep, consider that Hornady makes a 62gr .224 with the same G7 of 0.2. That extra energy could have gone into velocity, if only the case could accomodate the bullet. And that bullet doesn’t even have the finest form factor for its L:D.

I know who you are. I recognize you by your claw. Let’s see if I get the caliber right this time. Was it .183? Or .186?

>>64707465
>https://blackarcmunitions.com/product/nas3-73gr-eld-m/
It's awesome that so many companies are coming out with NAS3 loads, and with such great bullets. Don't know if they're finding customers, but the passion is there.
>62gr .224 with the same G7 of 0.2
Looked it up, ELD-VT. i7 ff ~ 0.89 for a sub-70 gr. And you can just buy it. Form factor ubermensch are winning, anon, don't be so dejected, even if the general public isn't familiar with the term yet, but it's a massive improvement to when the lowest FFs you generally saw even for large-caliber ELR bullets were in the 0.95 range. And by the way, I remember replying to a similar comment of yours, where I praised the M855A1.
>Was it .183? Or .186?
3 thou hardly make a difference, but I prefer .183 nominally. ;-) It's a pleasure to meet again, anon. We seem to run into each other very often.

Handgun for close combat, if you can't hit a shit from 10 - 15 m using iron sights, go to fucking range and train. Also handgun ammo ballistics ain't so good. Need a scoped gun? Get something starting 308. Need reflex sight, put it on CQB 5,56 - 12 gauge gun for 0 - 100 m combat, need middle range, same 5,56 with 4x optics for ~200m. Need to use pistol, like civilian self defence, never put on hollosight on it, this shit will ttangle in clothes, hang on shit, make gun bulky and you don't really need hollosights on that kind of gun period, just fucking train to hit target in 0 - 20 m range. So, scope on handgun is meme, hollosight nice to have GIMMICK. It's usefull but i personally hate it for carry gun.

They are popular within that niche. Requires a handgun like/skill and reason.

Game hunting with pistol is challenging. Most faggots reading this board masturbate to plastic long guns with zero hunting application.

Silhouette gonging is fun, but again, a niche sport.

My mentor carried one of these in a cross-draw during deer season back in the day. It always seemed too much hassle for me. If I'm taking game with pistol, it's iron sights, or nothing. And mostly, I'm using a rifle.

But not gonna lie, pistol gonging is fucking fun!

Eh, the ratio, sure. I just compared sectional energy, which is what actaully matters, and what OR is trying to approximate. The difference is attributed to the .358’s higher pressure.

>>64707614
What is sectional energy if not the ratio between the amount of powder and the cross sectional area of the bullet?

>>64707620
I’m not actually positive. I think you can compress more powder in the same case volume, and it will run at higher pressure. Also, grain size and shape affect pressure, things like that. I won’t pretend to know for sure, but I do know there’s obviously more to total energy than just case volume. If there wasn’t, changing pressure would have no effect on velocity.

One year is nothing. You people really need to realize this and look at a much bigger picture.

From a more zoomed out view we can see that both countries have actually enjoyed on average similar sort of growth after covid, ie. in the past five years with Taiwan being more erratic likely due to it being a much smaller and less diversified entity compared to the Chinese giant economy.
