>French army testing the Hermione hydrogen-powered UGV that refuels in just three minutes, carries up to 300 kilograms of payload, and operates for 20 hours with all-wheel drive mobility (by Polish P.H.U. Lechmar and French H2X-Defense)
>>64757369Yeah, but mass matters to aircraft. For land vehicles it has inferior energy per volume.
The more things change the more they stay the same
>>64755723I don't how practical the frontline logistics of a hydrogen-based army would be in the current year, but the strategic/operational level advantages of being able produce fuel anywhere you have access to abundant electricity really can't be overstated, especially for a nation like France which definitely isn't afraid to use the n-word (nuclear power).
>>64757366you might not have coal either. and you probably won't liquefy enough coal to satisfy both civilian and military needs. With hydrogen you can switch civilians to another more abundant (but less practical) fuel source. Economically it also means you keep your money inside the country instead of exporting it.
>>64756979Hydrogen fuel cells are compact and extremely versatile.

Any recommendations for a sub 500$ 357 or if no good options exist for that a 38 special with a 6 inch or possibly snubnose barrel? Looking for something fun and not crazy. Have a crapload of 357 and 38 ammo and only a single action to shoot it in.. fwiw not worried about 38+p. Since I load for 357 I really only load 38 for plinking….
>>64745787
>>64757441I just got the email from them that it’s being shipped back today and will get here Friday. Says they replaced the crane, polished, and function/range tested it. Can’t wait to see how it looks and feels when it gets here.
>>64753271Damn man. Let us know how it turns out. The only gripe I had with mine was that it was a little rough feeling, and I solved that by taking the trigger mechanism apart and hitting all the sliding bits with 0000 steel wool.
>>64757807Yeah it was kinda like that when I bought it too, but I just slicked it up by opening it up and cleaning/oiling it first and then dry-firing it an untold billions of times while watching TV. I do that with every new revolver I buy, regardless of brand, because I’m too lazy to polish them.

>>64757704>holosun with a front facing sensorIsn't that just SCS
>>64757709Don't think so. They're doing what the chinks do best, copy good designs for half off. I'm sure it's going to mog everything on the market in its price bracket when it launches. If the sensor works as good as the HD, then it will probably mog everything on the market.

I have a Walther PPQ Q4 with those swappable grips. How do I tell when it's right for me? I feel like having the largest grip on is causing me to jerk the trigger more.Also, how do I stop jerking the trigger?

Shoot more. You can do little games like loading snap caps randomly into mags or alternate between live and dryfire on the range but ultimately you just need to crush through it with rounds fired. In the short term, next time you catch yourself flinching unload the gun and do some dry fires until you stop, then load and go. The goal being to cross-link your "oh shit it's going to recoil I'd better flinch" brain with your "it's empty and won't move so I don't have to flinch" brain
what are some memory holed wars?Did you know the US invaded the Dominican Republic in 1965 with around 22,500 troops, 100 M48 Pattons, over 1000 combat air sorties. There was heavy fighting where around 60 Marines and 82nd Airborne troops died with 400 wounded.

What’s your favorite gun? Mine is my Nighthawk Custom Predator in 10mm.
Tough call, but probably the USP series, particularly in .45. I also like the CZ75 series, Beretta 92fs, and Sig P226.

Should Japan also get one of those drone mother ships Singapore is getting? I think the izumo could carry lots of kamikaze drones.
>>64757511Why would they? They already have real chopper carriers. The MRCV is a waste time for a non-poverty navy. I could see other small countries go for the concept.

>>64754533Lack of pilots had forced the few available to work afterhours kek.And they were lying their asses off with allocating kills as well. There was a day where over 100 hundred German pilots shot down 22 British planes in Africa - 17 kills were given to Hans-Joachim Marseille and 5 kills to the other 100 pilots. kekA reminder that there is a serious lack of detailed statistics of German aircraft _losses_ during ww2 even (it was hot and they were having their asses beaten kek) - their claimed kills are pure fantasy.

Wait, so .380 is quite literally all you need?
>>64757664For self defense in a handgun? Yes.For missile defense? It’s a bit lacking, but it can work.
>>64757769correct
>>64757769The bore is roughly the same size for both, but the .22lr cartridge is far smaller than .223. 9mm and .380 are identical in all aspects except for 2mm of case length, which mostly just serves to prevent accidentally chambering the hotter 9mm loads in a .380 handgun, most of which are straight blowback.
>>64757690>John Moses Browning got everything right with .380 acp, .32 acp, .45 acp and .38 superHe didn't make .38 Super. He made .38 ACP to be weak because he liked low-recoil rounds, and after he died, Colt upgraded .38 ACP to .38 Super so they could get an extra 200 fps.

I want a survival drilling pistol with the following layout. The top to barrels are side by side: one is .357 Maximum (so it will also chamber .357 Mag and .38 Special) and the other is .410/.45. below that is a .22LR barrel that can be loaded single shot or fed from a magazine in the grip. The three barrel group breaks together as you would expect, and the .22LR barrel uses the same mechanism from the Beretta Bobcat to let it have a tilting barrel while still feeding from a magazine. The barrels should be 6" long to allow hunting with it in states that require that sort of thing, and the magazine for the .22LR barrel should be 10 rounds (though more would be nice if it can be done reliably. I would also give it a small rail on the bottom for a light as well as a rail or mounting spot for an optic on top. You could also have different flip up iron sights for the different barrels. Finally, I would sell this with a holster that features a flap and a spot to carry loose shells for the top barrels and an extra magazine for the .22lr barrel.

>>64757754>levelI am retarded. Lever. Also, I want a modern howdah chambered exclusively for 12 gauge mini shells.

>>64751337>>64751358I was fucking cackling when they announced Casey Hudson is directing a new KOTOR game. I wonder how disappointing it's going to be. It's like people completely memoryholed ME3 and what a fucking disaster Anthem was. I'm genuinely surprised this dude still has a career.
>>64757727>memoryholed ME3 and what a fucking disaster Anthem wasThe game he was working on before the new kotor game was cancelled and his studio shutdown kek
>>64757727>It's like people completely memoryholed ME3sadly its the opposite, people actually say the game is good now and that the ending isnt even that bad.
>>64757513>Rules about genetic engineering or cybernetics? That's for faggots and faggot aliensThe only rule the council species have regarding genengineering is no giving yourself abilities your species doesn't already have(also no creating lifeforms whole cloth, excepting medigel because it's just too useful), you are free to juice yourself up Captain America style. I don't remember their being any such prohibitions against cybernetics, Shepard himself is part robot following the opening of ME2, and Joker even makes mention of medical exoskeletons.
>>64757765It was never terrible, but even the patched in ending slides(not even Fallout style because the same ones play regardless of if you encountered or helped the characters depicted in them)only took it from bad to mediocre.
Any anons here ever been to ShootSmart? Its pretty much the only range I hear about in DFW, but they seem extremely expensive: Their prices put me off but their also the closest range to my neighborhood so their convenient...Would you say if I shoot at the minimum 2-3 times a month that a membership would be worth it? How much money would I realistically save? If you get their most expensive membership you get to shoot at the lanes for free and get a free FFL, which is tempting but I'm not sure if its worth it bros...their normal prices are as follows>Public Shooting Lane: $17>Private Shooting Lane: $32>FFL: $45And that's not even counting everything else. Like I've seen Holosun Sights easily going for $400+ there. I think that they upcharge everything to get you to buy a membership, which is pretty scummy, but I am tempted I'm ngl.
>>64757503Holy fucking shit that's absolutely fucking nuts I work for them lmaoMemberships are hit or miss with us cause all our stores have short ranges except one and it's the ghetto one that one has a 22.5 yard rifle lane it really comes down to how much you like indoor ranges
