I'm sure Ill get plenty of hate but when I think "DMR" I'm thinking at least 800 yards and out there I'd probably want 20x or even like a 25-30x
>>
>>64747887
DMR is like ~1km and in. you're not shooting exclusively at range and you're still part of a squad that's running around doing normal squad things.
30x is stationary sniper hide type shit where the targets are always super far away.
if you look at actual military DMRs, they're all medium power scopes.

Not exactly a new or controversial claim that VX-5's don't do well in drop tests, Rokslide testing shows as much. I haven't seen strong evidence for a different conclusion, mostly just anecdotes from people saying, "I bought 500 leupolds and every single one is perfect!!!"

The Mk series is well built, but it's heavier. Point being, claiming Eotech's scope isn't light is retarded.

How the fuck do you even make mechs make tactical sense?

They present a high as fuck target, have these thin chicken legs with a million moving parts, exert ludicrous ground pressure. They cost probably as much as a nuclear submarine, are limited by line of sight, would be fucked up by a tank, couldn't touch a modern jet that could kill it from 30000 feet high and 10 miles away etc.

Like how the hell do you bend the rules of your universe to make these

I wouldn't be sperging out about this if Battletech was lemonade sci-fi running on the rule of cool and the power of friendship, but its intended audience was milsim autists who willingly bought hundred-page pretend technical manuals for these pieces of garbage.

Tabletop tankfagging was/is real; it's perfectly viable to run a tank-only force in a standard game if people don't bring exotic ammo, and no-one hardly ever does

pssh, what kind of power gamer brings the ammo made in-universe to fight against the proper units?

Yeah cause no one hardly ever brings the vehicles they're made to destroy lol

Besides, these are all things they're specifically informing players about with regards to their options now. Bringing nothing but hornets to pick on unsuspecting players is just bad sportsmanship, bad for the game, and they're fixing it so now even little billy will be clearly informed by the devs he can just bring a rifleman and sweep.

Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason?
the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays
I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land

You can absolutely wingshoot with express sights, just ignore the rear sight. My first shotgun came with a 28 inch ribbed barrel with changable chokes and a 20 inch express sighted slug barrel with a fixed cylinder choke. I used that barrel for hunting grouse in thick brush for years before I bought a better gun (a 24 inch barrel double).

I know you're joking, but the T-80 is pretty much an upgraded T-64 and has similar road wheels to the T-72. Though, the T-64 beats both of them in cost and simplicity by a pretty wide margin.

to a certain degree I agree with you anon, nuggets are fun to shoot but most importantly having cheap ammo would be great.

Ill never make that mistake again, but thats what youth is for eh?

>>64748044
(in auto/forced reset around 1,200rpm) The bolt cycles downward and that inertia really does help with reducing muzzle rise compared to a .45 simple blowback auto ump45 or greasegun that have a slower rate of fire.
Still more muzzle rise and recoil than my FRT AP5 with a rof around 900rpm
And in semi the "super-v" system doesn't really do shit.
>>64748051
No just one part, the sear. Have to take apart the trigger pack, replace the sear and put it all back together.
I've been using the "RATL-R" sear successfully but it's sensitive to trigger pull for legality, if you pull the trigger too hard it reverts to semi and the success window is pretty small (gay and retarded)
They just released the "MAMBA" sear a few days ago, that one should have a stronger reset and near zero sensitivity (hopefully eliminating the gay and retarded aspect)
>>
>>64748060
The barrel being below the top of the hand adn inline with the shoulder is where the controllability comes from. The whole downward moving bolt thing is just a necessary step for getting enough bolt travel without having the bolt hit the hand.

we probably won't ever get actual numbers on that. it does seem like they are culturally less inclined to do fraggings than western militaries. based on those war e-blogs it seems a lot like they work on an assumption like as long as they do what they're told they should be fine, even when their comrades are getting sent to suicide missions around them. but then at some point the platoon commander tells them it's now their turn to walk up to the enemy line they go "wait a second there has been a misunderstanding". like a sort of willing ignorance. maybe that just comes with living in russia
>>
>>64748047
Impossible to know, but I think before they started wrangling weapons to specific trusted assault groups it must have been extremely high. Though knowing that its Russia, I also wouldn't put it past them that fragging was nearly non-existant

The miltary are doing a recuitment drive for 18 year olds in the UK and they send a para and a royal marine commando

Jimmy walks into the Para and the Para asking him why he wants to join the military
Jimmy Says
"I want to defend my nation, see the world, help defend our world against madmen and dicators and become the best I can be"
The Para looks at him and says
"Go next door to the Marine Commandos"

Billy walks into the Marine Commandos and the soldier asks him
"Why do you want to join the Marine Commandos?"
