How would you defeat this?
>>64751463>a monthThis ain't Desert Storm, galaxies are very large and have a lot of places to hide. Also their standard MO is to come in right on top of the citadel, seize control of it, and shut off all the mass relays, thus crippling galactic infrastructure and isolating every star system.

>>64752338I'm sure no one in 37 million years has ever tried that and as such the super ais would have no defense against that. They don't just have better guns and numbers, they are old enough that any potential clever trick you can think of, has already been thought of by someone else a thousand cycles ago, and guess what, it didn't win them the war when it was new to the reapers, it isn't going to win you the war on the fiftieth time it's been tried on them. This is explicitly spelled out in the games by the greatest military minds across every race in the setting: they cannot be beaten in a conventional war.

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?
>>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.
>>64752327>the hull HAS to be made of steel and steel rustsWell you can also make it out of Titanium, which is more resistant to corrosion.If you absolutely do not give a shit about the budget that is.
>>64752501>Titanium subThis both terrifies and intrigues me.

I am about to import 80,500 of these indian hesbee 22 short single shot handguns. They are currently in transit being shipped from India.They have sat in storage as they were built in 1959 as gunlaws became more restricted in India. If you were in my shoes, how do I make this business venture successful. I purchased each pistol at 2160 rupees (around 24$) and they cost me ($1500 for import and $5000 in shipping) so i am in for abit under $2mil. Do you think people will actually buy these or should I put my house for sale ASAP?
>>64751296>?si=fGrT5quex9ntrVkkthank you glownigger
>>64742593Put indian flags and a little cowshit on them and market toward call centers
>>64742593Brand them as the SAAR Redeemer.
>>64742593if you make a combo pack where each gun is a slightly reduced price but comes with a pirate holster id buy 3. Definitely agree with anons you shouldnt mark these above 70$ though at the VERY most.
>>64752071that or just translate liberator into hindi since these are glorified "take your opponents gun" machines
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?

Well, I found this thing in the Ahnif forest in Bouira province, Algeria, in an abandoned area that was a stronghold for armed groups. I think it's a mine, but I need more precise information
Another image
Also, i found this in a place where they filmed a terrorist video called "جحيم المرتدين في الجزائر 2"
>>64752550kind of looks like a grenade without its spoon
if it's a grenade it was likely a smoke grenade
Its not a grenade mostly, maybe an IED but im not sure
Hello everybody, Bonkanon here. Today we'll be making a morning star from exotic African hardwoods.Most of the materials are in picrel. Wenge for the head and shaft (hehe), a piece of black-and-white ebony for the handle, and some African Blackwood for handle accents & pommel.
>>64749158I'm doing this on a wood lathe. I do have a metal lathe and a lot of metal shop experience so I could make turned metal fittings, but I'm specifically focusing on woodwork with these projects. The point is to get experience *out* of my comfort zone. I do agree with you that metal collars where the different woods join would look cool though. Something else I've been meaning to fool with is nice-looking thread wrapping, like you see on pool cues and fishing poles. That is incredibly strong too. I've used that method to reinforce tool handles but never tried to make it look nice. That could be a good solution to the issue mentioned in >>64730086
A Turks Head knot would be a simple addition.
>>64713236When I was a kid I used to have a shitty wooden morning star toy and I remember the wooden spikes on it were simply glued to the thing and they would fall off. I wonder how the original medieval morning stars had their spikes attached. Did they also screw it like you did? Or is it your original idea? Great thread btw.

>>64749181>look morty, i turned myself into a 50 USD drone
>>64752613this.what's your dumbass jet man gonna do when i put the same cost of drones in the air to counter him? it'll be 1 against 10,000 it'll be fun to watch them get exploded by drones after taking off, lookin forward to those videos.
>>64749199They were suggested to take naval vessels quickly and to get into rough terrain quicker than foot troops. Indians and Chinese could do with them to go up mountains and stuff. As far as I am aware the only place that actually uses these are mountain rescue medics in Bongland.
Hey /k/, favor to ask. I have to run a quick errand, mind keeping an eye on this Horton Ho 229 for me? I'll be back in 30, 40 minutes tops. While I'm gone, don't you mess with my Horton ok? OK. Thanks.
>>64747845looks pretty modern. Is this another german fake weapon made up in some 50s sci fi book?
>>64748562Man,i just went to take a piss in the shop, not even 5 minutes, wtf?!
>>64748512I do
>>64749026>>64748489How'd you guys mess this up? Fuckfuckfuck, Anon is going to be back any minute.They didn't have any hortens at the store, but I found this. Just act cool and maybe he won't notice.
>>64747909ah hell nah my nigga just nutted from simply looking at some bitched :skullemoji:
Tanks are not obsolete they just haven't been updated.Abrams introduced- 45 years agoThe first ironclad to the first dreadnought was about 45 years in comparison.Roughly 45 years between the wright brothers plane and the introduction of combat jet aircraft.>fights in an area of eastern europe over the course of 5 years that was covered sometimes in a day in ww2>tanks are obsolete

*Hits the crack pipe* Ok get this shit hear me out Tanks On Mars Bitchin'
>>64751843>>64751848Because the zoomers are right.From an asymmetric warfare perspective shitty hobby drones would be a hell of a Fuck You from whoever is using them. We didn't have to deal with the Taliban or the Iraqi militias using hobby drones with explosives duct taped to them dive bombing convoys with explosives. We had to deal with suicide bombers and IEDs, sure, or niggers dropping grenades from overpasses, but those you can somewhat mitigate with shaped hulls or by shooting the grenade dropper. An MATV can survive an IED because the whole damn thing is designed to survive a blast from below. Plus, those IEDs were stationary. It's a mine - you have to be the one to get close to it, not the other way around.Meanwhile you can see the fate of the MRAPs that went to Ukraine. Some nigger rigged drone with a duct taped RPG warhead crashes into the windshield. gg no re.>But muh vehicle mounted jammers on my MATV!That assumes they're only attacking the MATV and not the foot patrol. Maybe they fly their hobby drone over Kandahar AFB and drop a few mortars on the motor pool, only way more accurately this time.The "War" on Terror was such baby tier shit it can hardly even be called a war on our end. It was a failed occupation/nation building experiment. It's easy to beat the shit out of the local browns when all they had as a major ally was Iran or Pakistan and black market Khyber Pass reproductions.You tell me. What did we gain from going into Iraq? We didn't gain shit. Halliburton and KBR and all the other private contractors we paid to supply our bases made a fortune, but the average American shouldered the taxpayer burden of toppling Saddam. And we didn't even win in Afghanistan. I could understand revenge for 9/11, we did do that. We killed one of Mullah Omar's sons in an airstrike and killed a shitton of Taliban. Then we waste 20 years in a middle eastern shithole for no fucking reason and have to beg the same Taliban to not attack us as we leave.
>>64752692Only works against third worlders/Russians. Everyone else just jams you or is watching you from the skies.

Over the past century, technological changes have come about which would actually make the Ratte a viable platform.>miniaturization of nuclear reactors>miniaturization of nuclear warheads>lasers for defense against drones and missiles>improvements to computers for fire controlThere is no better time than now to build the Ratte.
>>64748081Realistically speaking so long as you have nuclear weapons or even something more devastating, the eternal argument ends with sword>shield. Consequentially being a fuckoff huge target would simply end poorly for you as missiles, typical artillery, or even nuclear landmines would mean more agile and attritable, not to mention pre-existant forces would remove you from the equation. Unless you address many or all of these factors its not really feasible enough people give the OK to dedicate the necessary engineering expertise to design this and then filter resources away from the front to arm and protect this thing.
I don't understand why Hitler, Dr. Porsche, and others continued to downplay the importance of the ability to recover, repair, and re-equip stranded AFVs. The only trailers I know of in Germany capable of carrying heavy tanks were a few examples used at test sites.

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.
>>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.
>>64747440This. Cans are not half as useful or cool as people make them out to be. They don't really add much to shooting after the hype wears off somewhere between a few range trips to a year. Even with subs you're loud enough anyone immediately nearby is going to identify a gunshot, or at least investigate, and any range or facility is still going to require you wear earpro, poa/poi shift on and off, etc.If your typical range trip is holster work, the can becomes a novelty almost immediately.
