You're tasked with building a kit to help Iranian resistance against the Ayatollah regime, the kits you build will be airdropped into Iranian territory in large dufflebags and then picked up by chosen operatives. You have $3k per kit to try to arm an light resistance guerrilla fighter, you can only source items from the US civilian market. At minimum you should provide a rifle, a pistol, body armor, essential accessories and ammunition for both, as well as any survival or tactical implement you see necessary.What kind of stuff do you pick?
>>64757950However much dynamite and fused blasting caps I can get for $2,990, and stick it in a $10 tool bag.
>>64758158smallpox
>>64757950>riflegood idea>a pistol, body armorbad idea.Rifle, and either night vision goggles or perhaps thermal. And some ammo. For one out of every pack. riffle and ammo and some grenades or something for the rest.
>>64764664>>64764664>For one out of every packevery 5th pack. Batteries and more ammo for the others but a rifle in every pack. Fudd Fudd Six could be fine, but it would be better to pack the kind of ammo that is already there.So 30 cal ammo, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51
>>64757950Why would I do that? I would make Iran Sunni again and we would go to Israel and kill Israelis
I went to the Muncie gun show was not bad, they had a few guns some nice handguns kind of cheap 9 mm Sw for $250 with two mags I was going to buy it but I saw a rifle I wanted but the guy wouldn't come down in price. Ended up buying nothing and then a bunch of stoned black kids showed up and a black dude with a large scar on his face who was trying to buy a whole bunch of ARS and pistol variants. I might go back tomorrow just to see if someone's willing to make a deal I don't have much money

>nearly 80 years>barely any changesHow did they get it so right?
>>64766546genuine question, why cant they just "Modernize" by adding rails to furniture and dust cover?(fuck captcha)
>>64766844There is nothing positively retaining an AKM or AK74 dust cover. It is just held in place by sloppy spring tension at the rear and a bit of friction at the front. On the AK12 there's a pivoting locking cam that helps hold it in better on the front and a better hook up at the rear, but it is still imperfect and the zero is never held exactly between removals and reinstallations (good enough for government work, basically). The issue is that the AK was designed around a 'trench' style receiver for manufacturing simplicity. It holds all the important components and tolerances and operating bits, and all the other stuff is allowed to be less intense. But in this case a consequence is that the top cover, where you'd want to mount the optic, has to be removable to get the operating bits out and access to the chamber and the internals for cleaning. This inherently puts a limit on the potential repeatable accuracy of anything mounted to the top cover, even if you put effort into rectifying that problem - if not (like the AK74) the top cover is just unusable.
>>64766313Why would they even need to change it up? It wasn't as if Germany was going to get in a copyright dispute over the StG-44...Anyways, the AK-47 is internally much more similar to the Garand than the StG-44. The concept, form factor and ammunition, yeah, those are a direct response to the StG. The ammunition was even developed during the war, as a response to 8mm Kurz.>>64766347Yes, sheet metal is cheaper at scale. Hell, machining from billet is cheaper and more reliable than casting for small batches and high quality components (such as a trunnion).>>64766546Nope. Even in the 1980s the concept of optics on every rifle was not standard doctrine for all respectable armies. You can't fault a 1970s design for not having reliable optics mounting - you can fault the Russians for sticking to that design into the 21st century.>>64766844Furniture and dust cover on an AK are not designed to hold zero: you can mount optics there, but they won't help you hit much. This can then be solved with complex and heavy rails systems, that add even more weight and bulk to an already heavy base rifle.
>>64766303>62x39 mmSo the bullet just sort of rolls down the barrel?
>>64766932No anon, it takes a crane to load.
Are they good defense weapons against China and Russia?
>>64766732No where near Santa tier. More like Nanook tier.

What causes slavabooitis and how can it be cured?
>>64766422Slavabooism is caused by ignorance, of history, logic, and a lack of actual (non-propaganda) knowledge of the systems they're glazing. Considering that it's hard to get the average slavaboo a chance to actually have to work with the tanks/artillery/jets they love (which should cure it pretty much instantly if you then give them an introduction to western kit of the same role) just educating them. That's boring as hell though, and a bullet would be a lot quicker.
>>64766422Cause is the desperate need to be "special" and be a faggot contrarian, or a pathological hatred of the U.S./NATO/West. These two causes are not necessarily mutually exclusive.As >>64766430 has stated, only cure is a bullet.
>>64766422I guess that being the largest linguistic group in Europe and defeating the very Master Race itself does this to mothafacka.
>>64766422Like in many other aspects of life, there's a "grass is greener on the other side" lens that affects perception.In the West you're more aware of procurement failures, not only because there's a higher degree of scrutiny and transparency but also because of a language barrier, out of the people translating military topics from Russian to English there's more of them affiliated with state media or enthusiasts with a nationalistic bias. Machine translation has somewhat breached this wall because you no longer need to learn a foreign language to the point of being proficient in technical jargon or pay a translator.We also have a tendency to root for the underdog so we take Western technological dominance with a grain of salt - because we have fielded technology that had genuine flaws which needed to be ironed out, or made the wrong assumptions about conflict and weapon systems had their reputation stained by being used incorrectly. If you watched 2000s documentaries about the Vietnam air war or just followed the pop history narrative, missiles suck and fighter jets need guns. Big expensive jets lose while nimble and cheap fighters can dogfight them easily. It takes a lot of research to realize most of North Vietnam's success was in picking off fighter escorts flying in formation with strike packages and doing a hit and run, without even trying to dogfight. It's the pencil vs Space Pen fable all over again.Also Russians were stealing all the gear from storage and selling it to Westoids for cheap so """surplus""" was a neat way to get a kit to go airsofting with. Just like many people want to dress as Vader or Storm Troopers despite the Empire being the bad guys, there's an allure in playing RedFor. LARPing with Russian kit in the late 2000s and early 2010s was cool. If you showed up wearing a 2003 Iraq invasion loadout in UCP you'd be the biggest fucking dork.
Seeing Russian convoys just burning with supposed elite troops dead lying around them in groups in the early days of the offensive dispelled any notions I had of Russian competence.

>>64765157It's hard to beat honest-to-god film sometimes. I saw the Hateful Eight in the theaters twice, once on a normal modern (digital) screen and once during the roadtour where they brought film projectors and boy oh boy, the difference was amazing. 70mm Panavision on the Cine Capri (Tempe represent whoop whoop) just hits different.

You have a moderately sized military force and you have to deal with several hundred of these things. Here’s what you gotta remember about them:>Nearly immortal, body can be damaged but the only thing that can kill them is fire>sever a limb and it will keep coming after you >burning them isn’t advised because the gasses inside will reanimate any corpses around them, including animals >They do feel pain, from injury and their rotting bodies>eating brains relieves said pain>they’re very smart, able to fake calls for backup and set up ambushes>speed depends on the state of decay, fresher corpses run like a human>nuking them would kill them, but it would spread the trioxin gas further and make a bigger outbreak in the endWell, /k/? You gotta get creative with this one.

>>64758075>>64758133>>64758130>>64758135It depends on what your rules are, they got easier to kill in the later movies.

Bullets are cheap and people don't drop dead by surprise with no witnesses that often.
>>64765105Again, the threat of the Romero zombies was the paranoia they inspired in the human characters. Every single one of his movies has the humans wiping themselves out instead of being overwhelmed by the zombies.

Will it ultimately be a cult hit like the AR-15?
>>64765142>It's currently like $4.50 a round for training ammoHas anybody necked down 308 brass and made light training loads with .277 boolits yet? The spear is over gassed to hell and back, I imagine even light loads will run fine for training.
>>64765292It's an ar18 with big boy clothes on.
>>64765156Whenever I shoot any of those guns I am reminded they just aren't as good as an AR-15. Scar, bren, they're neat but worse to actually shoot. Punchier, fragile stocks, limited aftermarket. Also you forgot the XCR which is probably the best notanAR.
>>64764122That kind of thinking is why they're still paying for losses from wars past to this day, losing hundreds of thousands of capable men, repeatedly, is a serious drain on your society in the long term.And now Russia is doing it yet again.That shit is a fucking debt for the country and economy you're trying to build and operate, and it's a debt on future military efforts. Zergrushing and losing legions of soldiers is not sustainable strategy.>>64765156Charging handle is fine IMO, helps enclose the action from dirt, and you're using the bolt release most of the time.The only improvements I'd suggest is a handle with one of those foldout little paddles to give you a bit more purchase, along with some of that gas shield geometry for using cans.Folding stock I don't think is a very big deal, and you should think twice about mortaring ANY gun, I'd only really do that in a life and death situation.If you manage to get a bolt override, that's not great, and while you can mortar that clear sometimes, there's better methods which are about as fast, more reliable, and less abusive to the gun.>barrels aren't easily changedThey're not quick change, but it's not a support weapon so I don't care.Comment too long.

how to beat mongols/horse nomads?Fortifications?focus on range?heavy cav?hold out until the current khan dies?
>>64766779>For a short time.The Turks still control Turkey last I checked. Are they local to Anatolia? The Mongols controlled Iran for 300 years, and Iranians only took back control because a guy leading a warband of Turkish crypto-Zoroastrian Shia mystics put them in power to prevent giving his warband too much power.
>>64765773By living in a a humid and forested/jungle environment that limit their mobility and which also makes their composite bows fucking useless, due to moisture dissolving the glue holding their bows together. See Central Europe and Vietnam.
>>64766801The turks stopped being horse nomads very soon after they invaded anatolia.
>>64766247>what's with the tactical diaper?Its for when he shits himself after seeing the horde of cavalry charging him.
>>64766848Ahhh right. Central Europe. Famously devoid of steppe nomads. Except of course being one of the first places the Indo-Europeans, the original steppe nomads and inventors of the composite bow, settled. And the Scythians, they were there for basically all of antiquity. Hell, the steppe nomad thing was so effective other people picked it up like the Goths and Vandals, came all the way from Sweden then as soon as they hit Central Europe they started picking up steppe nomad customs. Must have been a weather pattern shift at some point that drove all these people out, right? Oh, no, it was the Huns, a different group of steppe nomads. Then there were the Avars of course, and the Magyars oh wow they're still there, and the Cumans, and the Bolghars passed through at one point too.So, no, I think that's pretty much completely wrong and you're a retard, and picked the place in Europe that has been a hotbed of steppe nomads since steppe nomads first became a thing. Literally the oldest bodies with evidence of deformities associated with constant horseback riding come from central Europe. You could not be more wrong if you tried.>>64766869No they didn't. Said crypto-Zoroastrian Shia mystics were nomadic bands of Turks from Eastern Anatolia. That was 500 years after they began invading Anatolia. They were still living as nomads.
