There's no real need to rehash why mechs don't work but what is the ideal jungle support vehicle then?
>>64766351By cutting the jungle down first.
>>64766329>keep in mind there's several moments in both videos where it's guided through very tight spacesI can see that>Even with my X2 on reduced terrain avoidance I can literally just hold forward on the controller until it gets near thick groups of trees and it will slowly work its way through all the different branches, only really having issues if the branches are moving substantially from windthe issue I have is that your understanding of "thick" might not match with my idea of "thick"how far do you think a drone can force its way through this, before eventually snagging?consider both if the drone stays on-trail, flying down this cleared path; and if the drone ventures off-trail into the thick undergrowth you can see on either sidehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDSpvIOpiHsI'll tell you that 1 reason why even armoured vehicles in jungles don't usually use slat armour is because the undergrowth rips them offI don't have a drone so I don't know how resistant drone rotors are to that sort of thingand, going back to the original post? a drone is not going to be flying through this at 100 knots
>>64766376>how far do you think a drone can force its way through this, before eventually snagging?People are walking through it fine without being snagged so, effortlessly? People are bigger than SUAS quadcopters. Again, if people went off the trail they're be extremely slow due to rapid density buildup of the vegetation, even a "mule" mech wouldn't be able to trample through it effortlessly, it would make a fuckton of noise, and they're literally be destroying the only thing that could potentially interrupt the rotors. Again, drone food.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz2in2eFATE>a drone is not going to be flying through this at 100 knotsWhy not? AI controlled drones do stupid shit when properly trained, and the training is only going to get more effective with time.
>>64766308Yeah, I knew they were primarily used in the open areas of Vietnam and on the roads, but I had some vague recollection of them being useful for jungle busting. I must have made that up.
>>64766217Look man, if you never gone dirt-biking just say so. Hell, this doesn't even look like something a unfit human couldn't handle. And there's all sorts of ways to modify a vehicle to go up sloped and unstable terrain better, they just haven't been done because there's no need to do so.>He thinks his mech is going to be fastlmao

>>64762417Australia also has tons of Uranium and it's pretty easy to store decades worth of the stuff. It doesn't take a lot of space.
all the russian ICBM launches in ukraine are the best ad israel could ask for
>>64761267I serously doubt israel gave drone kill codes, maybe russians from 2008 were more competent, did not some indian israeli drones were captured by china?Maybe you need a competent armed forces to avoid such scenarios and you are giving too much credit to israeli vatnik alliance yes they do back door deals but i think destroying it's arms industry reputation is a no deal for israel in any scenario, they really do not have economies of scale to keep military autarky going on without exports hence why they export to anyone.>>64746852btw i just noticed from the photo that the german arrow battery has 4 missiles while the israeli version has 6.Why do i get the feeling this was some german autism thing about regulations of truck sizes and weight
>>64764672>some german autism thing about regulations of truck sizes and weightProbably a change added to make it easier for it to drive on more roads in Germany.

>>64766303It is really still cheaper to do sheet metal over cast in this day and age? They should be on par given the prices right?
>>64766303As my 8th grade science teacher put it, evolution is very lazy, it will never craft the perfect animal but just something that will survive in the current environment
>>64766303The AK74 was a giant fuck up. By the 70s it was pretty clear that firearms design needs were changing and things like having a loose top cover would be prohibitive to future proofing your firearms for optics and the like. The side rail was a fine cope in the 50s and 60s, but by the 70s everyone knew the writing was on the wall. After that it was just muddling along. Kalashnikov was a mechanical genius, undoubtedly, but his AK74 was unambitious and the USSR decided to save a dime today when it would cost themselves a dollar in the future and fucked themselves for 50 years on a gun that couldn't be modernized properly.
>>64766347It is cheaper when you have a factory the size of a city to make the guns. It took the Soviets over a decade to get it right, and once they did, they kept the system going forever.

>>64766266I wouldn't say the VT fuze was "irrelevant", but >>64763430 has a point: if the Germans had no counter at all to night-time strategic bombing, as was the case when the bongs invented thousand-bomber streams and chaff, the war ends in 12 months from obliterated factories, D-day or no D-daythat said,>>64766280>Even in if you include the Pacificthe Japs were too spread out and amphib invasions were necessary to roll up their Empire; without VT fuzes Allied carriers would have been too vulnerable to mass kamikaze attacks on every invasion operation

Any HAMboomers in the thread? I've been having a lot of fun with repeaters and satellites with a uv-5r mini and I'm wondering what would be a good next step for a handheld (can't do proper mobile setup cuz company truck so magnetic antenna with handheld is my aim) that's good at scanning and occasional tx? Digital sounds cool but there's all kinds of different shit I don't even know where to start with.
>>64765335>a good next stepGet your Technician Class license.
>>64764446I’ll have to search and make some calls to my buddies in Kazakhstan. I’m curious if pulled bullets can be mailed. Also gave me an idea… Wondering what velocities can be achieved from a .300bo super loaded with m2ap. I’m out in bumfuckistan at the moment and cant look up the finer reloading and velocity details, but could be interesting.
>>64766438Buffman got 1,758ft/s out of a .300 blackout in this vid. Still pierced a Militech RF2 ("III+") plate after several hits of weaker threats. Assuming the plate was somewhat spent at that point I'd say you need 2,000ft/s to reliably clear, but the plate had no difficulty with hot M855 / M193 afterwards so that's up for debate.Of course there's also the concern, since Militech is one of Buff's sponsors, that the plates he were sent got extra QC, so maybe the plates people are getting aren't exactly that tough. It's complicated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8afNznjj7AI'm not a lawyer, but you should be fine to send pulled bullets, subject to carrier policies, in all states except Massachusetts. Your Kazakhstan buddies may have a different case on their hands, and also we're talking tungsten core AP ammunition that is probably stolen government property.
Writefag here, I’m looking for real “out there” firearms that are advanced looking but not too impractical for my sci-fi setting.
>>64754501G11 but smells like waffles
>>64761839>There’s no reason the action/upper receiver has to be any longer than that.The bolt needs room to move you retard.
>>64764725Open your fucking eyes and look at the picture the other guy posted. Consider where the rim of the chambered cartridge is. There is ample room behind that for a 5.7 action to cycle.
>>64754501Which nations colonized outer space? Look into some of the old Soviet bullpups, or some Chinese designs if they have a presence in space, Mongolian space cowboys would be kind of neat. If the US or Western Europe does, there are a lot of options. Boberg/Bond arms bullpup semi auto pistols. Also maybe implement revolvers because they do not eject casings unless manually made to do so for low gravity environments, because shell casings getting lodged inside of components on vessels. That actually makes caseless stuff like the G11 make sense, could look into Metalstorm.
>>64765102from earlier itt sounds like some gay future option instead of "cold war became awesome" unfortunately.
Which btw is there to try to block the American one
>>64766386>Aircraft carrier>To attack insurgents on your own contiguous territory
>>64766372Literally nothing but an attempt to flex>Big boy countries have aircraft carriers>We are also a big boy country and need an aircraft carrier>It costs HOW MUCH??>uhhhhh what about this? It's basically the same thing
>>64766323"Aircraft Carrier"
>>64766477It DOES carry "aircraft" doesn't it
>>64766536Even the text in the screenshot calls it a Drone Carrier instead
Will we ever see a point defense system using a m2 maybe with slightly better cartdriges using doppler radars, thermal to find snd track incoming ordnance?
Yes but it will take awhile, the M2 will still be in service in another 50 years when cheap airburst fuses can fit in a 50bmg bullet.
>>64765180No. M240s and 30x113mm are the unofficial CUAS guns.
>>64765182Anon the M3
>>64765180Honestly I'm surprised like this hasn't been tested and publicized years ago, just as a cheap and ubiquitous counter for cheap drones.
>>64766486I can talk to you as to why in detail, but the tldr is that we don't have the Machine Vision AI tech to make it happen and the computer for it is fairly intense.I am sure someone has it behind the scenes, but there is no public dataset of drones OR people in camouflage to train models on for cheap.
>>64762688desert tech rifles are made out of pot metal and happy meal toys.1 degree removed from keltec. only buy from the GOOD military contractors.
>>64763878Fucking based. I think we'll probably see a .277 Fury WLVRN at some point seeing as they're producing that caliber.
>>64762688The buffer tube is where the recoil spring and the buffer tube go. Just remember that trying to go 14.5 P&W will result in an SBR overall length if you don't extend the length of pull somewhat, and you're never, ever, going to be able to fire that thing from your left shoulder. What you really get in exchange for that is the ability to use an 80% lower. >>64764514It'd like to see that, if only to see if someone can or can't prove the M7 was the wrong approach for achieving NGSW goals.
>>64764514I’ve asked a couple times in person deserttech reps and they’ve said universally there’s too much bolt thrust, but they’ve considered it for their bolt guns I think this reflects their public presentations as well, for instance they just had a video reflecting that 6.5CM out of a 20” barrel gives you extremely similar ballistics to the m7
>>64763878>There’s a guy that’s been posting for AGES that the mdr then mdrx then wlvrn NEEEEEEDS to come in 11.5 inch in 300 blackoutlol that's me>well they just announced that todayFUCK YEAH. It's been hinted at for awhile but gratifying to see it happen at last. That it won't cost an extra $200 anymore is nice too and also eliminates any reason to think about one of those extender shroud things or an integral barrel.Might give it a little time to see if they add any colors other than black (green would be nice) but can always not be lazy and paint it myself I guess. Thanks for the news though anon.
>this is all that remains of the cubans that tried to defend madurodamn, what kind of weapon could cause so much damage?
The Venezuelan forces are ten times the men the am*rican terrorists are. No ass, no air, no sigint, fighting the world's largest power. Honour, that's why they did it. For honour and for Venezuela.

When trying to destroy a stationary enemy surface drome, is level bombing like its 1943 really the most effective way to engage them, or is Russia utilizing suboptimal methods here?
>>64762780I mean it's not like they'll ever get another opportunity to use this shit. It's like if you have a stockpile of old socks you're never going to wear again and tear them up to make cleaning rags every once in a while. They used to keep your feet from getting blisters but now they have holes in them and you have no other use for them.

>>64766236forgot my ass-backwards webm. Note how it is "ass-backwards" because this may be ~70 year old tech and unguided rocket spam is terribly inefficient it was still created to do exactly this. Also it is just fun to yeeet rockets away from no matter how basic your rocket is.but Depth Charges for drones is a Through-the-Ass approach because it is goes against nature of the bomb. Just like homosex is against nature of man. Hence, inflicted through his ass. Not even saying "no homo" is enough here.

>>64765858Why not just buy an actual A3 stock?>>64764399KCI mags work from my experience, sold all of mine and got MKE mags when Atlantic had 6 packs in stock for relatively cheap.
>>64766105Because it’s like 1/6 the cost and mine is a Special Weapons cast receiver gun which will probably necessitate filing the stock arms to fit
>>64766273>Special Weapons cast receiver gunHoly shit I've never talked to someone who actually owned one. What's it like? Also, MKE A3 stocks are like $325 on Atlantic if you're looking for something that's meant for real guns but not $900>>64766076Agreed, it's also just attractive as hell. Flip your stock rails so the teeth are on the bottom though
What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
>>64764595>>64764593Go cry in your mom's basement.>>64764445Having guns in a place that doesn't have guns usually can help even out the score. It's not everything since you still need food, water, shelter and frankly, entertainment so you don't go nuts. But having a gun in a gunless wasteland can afford a lot of bargaining power and your choice of pussy.
>>64764747you need to be 18 or older to post here
>>64746392>what tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes downDepends on the country. Majourity of European countries allow proper firearms for sports shooters or recreational shooters. Tell me what country you are from and we can continue from that. If semi auto rifles are allowed, get an AR or AK or any other semiautomatic rifle that you are proficient with. If you are one of the lucky ones in Baltics or Switzerland etc, jump trough the loops and get a full auto capable rifle. >what should everybody own, not just weaponsRead trough your countrys recommendations, such as thesehttps://72tuntia.fi/en/https://rib.msb.se/filer/pdf/30874.pdf
