>>64680434>Yes, by changing it towards the original proto rejected by boomer generals in the peacetime.LOL, LMAO.Original AK-12 prototype is dead and not coming back.Newest variants of AK-12 are same AK-74M modernised, only thing that is changed is more reliable parts and removal of retarded stuff like 2 round burst, that was used by nobody but complicated fire selector and some ergonomis so gun is more comfortable to use.>>64680347According to ukrainian who have combat expirience since 2015 or se, who had used capture AK-12 gun is good, not western ergonomics but it works as intended.

>>64676403> The DPRK has a program to replicate the S-300/Patriot as a native system but it hasn't worked out well which they fully admit. It's a major source of frustration and annoyance for them, they are good at making missiles but an advanced long range AA missile is a problem.Creating a modern Air Defense system is no joke.It's one of the toughest fields for a nation to establish. If all the knowledge of building a modern AA system were comprised into books, it would likely be larger than most libraries.Modern AA systems are very abstract in how they work and is heavily dependent on chain of command, but not at the same time. Since it's designed to still function and defend even when multiple sensors, radars, and launchers are down. It's also extremely software heavy which is arguably even tougher than building the hardware, as with hardware, you can be guided by physics and other designs.
>>64680127If you arent american then who cares if we kill you. Go cry about it. Agree about the jews
>>64687519I wonder if the DPRK may be attempting to integrate large numbers of legacy systems into their modern IADS. There have been hints in that direction for years. I wouldn't be shocked if they took a page out of the Russians book and even integrated MANPADS. They already have radar guided 14.5mms.

Hello everyone. I know how to reload ammo but I lack certain mathematical concepts that are needed to work a load backwards from projected performance. I know you lot can be pretty smart so can you help me? I want to find chamber pressure. The cartridge in question is 7.62x25.Case:>7.62x25Bullet weight:>265 grainsVelocity:>1000 fpsI want 300blk but smaller and dumber.
>>64685673There isn't just one chamber pressure involved, there are infinite different pressure curves that could give the performance you specified.
>>64685673 Checking I understand you: You want to scratch-build a blowback semiauto, correct? If you would: Please state what you hope to make. Toolmaking Step One = Imagine what you want. Describe it in English.
>>64685899>>64685893For example, here's a list of loads Quickload generated. You can see the max pressure on this chart but that alone is not enough for doing any sort of design calculations. You can easily model the individual loads suggested here.
>>64685905>Please state what you hope to makeOP wants to make a super cool armor piercing subsonic gun. He picked the Tok cartridge to start with because he heard it had decent armor penetration, but he's not smart enough to realize that is only because of velocity, which is out the window for his *subsonic* project.

what 10/22 should i get? i like the wood carbine with iron sights but the slick one with receiver rail looks cool too. will i miss not having iron sights? is there any accuracy advantage to stainless barrel?
>>64681797The appeal of the Summit receiver is the parts commonality with 10/22s, I can add any 10/22 barrel and trigger, and chassis I want.
One day, maybe. Or at least whenever they sort the suppressor tax stamp stuff
>>64680810>>what 10/22 should i get?>One that you build yourself. A basic 10/22 is a solid gun but everyone ends up replacing parts - might as well cut out the middleman and build exactly what you want from scratch.Not OP but I just recommend finding the cheapest model you can and starting from there. A receiver, bolt, and trigger group will cost you what a regular 1103 would last I checked, even just take-offs (usually from builders who toss the OEM parts). Also what the FUCK did Ruger do to their catalog? There's only the 1103 left for the carbine tab.

What's the deal with the ISV? Does it make any sense? Is it retarded?
>>64681264No. Some signifcant percentage of parts for the ISV can be bought at NAPA.
>>64681460>>64681538That's with maintenance for life of vehicle.
>>64686365No, if that were real (some fixed price contract for x years) it would be itemized with its own code and price. Even upgrade kits have their own items.
>>64681140>>64681263It's a stripped down Chevy Colorado.The US Army's Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) is heavily based on the diesel variant of the ZR2, with 90% of the vehicle coming from Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components.[47]

Will laser guided missiles and Bombs still have a place or is it all going to be fire and forget
>>64687607>IMHO key step is moving from 2D tracking to spatial reconstruction. Missile should be aware of locked object in 3D space, it's speed, direction, maneuvering capabilities, 3D shape from database or measured during acquisition. Then most counter measures become apparently false allowing missile to track on expected path.Isn't this already a thing with recent missiles? Very important to implement and immediately makes any flares/chaff and everything that doesn't follow the same trajectory as the jet completely useless.
>>64687660>Very important to implement*easy
>>64687512Ukraine showed that GPS rounds are nice and all but you still want laser guided for direct fire support so laser isn't going anywhere.Also laser is cheaper than fire and forget and military love cheap eqiopment.Besides some militaries deployed laser guided manpads. Well mostly brits, and brits went full retard(more than once) and decided to make their manpad as MCLOS, so good luck hitting anything and somehow this piece of shit was more expensive than fucking Stinger.
>>64687660AFAIK only advanced system ground radar like PAC3 does that. The missile would only receive flight guidance and maybe do simpler terminal tracking. And nothing like it in simpler devices like man-pads. But they absolutely could. If 100$ smartphone with single camera can do 3D measurements there's no reason why 100k missile couldn't distinguish sideways falling fireworks from 20meter long 30Ton chonker moving at Mach speeds. Only greed at expense of western might and lives.

>In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that "Japan's leadership is attempting to accelerate militarization," with reference to increased defense spending under the Sanae Takaichi administration. Amid escalating Japan-China tensions, he expressed Russia's firm support for China's position on the Taiwan issue, inferred that Russia would provide China with military assistance in bringing Taiwan back under China's control, and made veiled threats about the consequences of Japan interfering.>This appears to refer to Prime Minister Takaichi's parliamentary response regarding a Taiwan contingency potentially constituting a "survival-threatening situation," the Japanese government's proposal of a record-high defense budget for fiscal 2026, and considerations to revise the three non-nuclear principles. Lavrov pointed out that the "acceleration of militarization" under the Takaichi administration "will clearly have a negative impact on regional stability."Source:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c5993ae64bfc1aa80ba17f8036e6546ea4030addI am under no delusion that Russia's much-diminished military could provide any meaningful aid to a Chinese marine invasion of Taiwan. Nor am I deluded enough to believe that this is anything more than lip service from Russia to China--probably directly requested by China--in relation to China's crashout over the Japanese PM stating that Japan would defend Taiwan from invasion as a matter of national self-preservation. However, I hope that statements like these from Russia convince Japanese that they have skin in the game, that it is better to kill Russians in Ukraine than in Hokkaido, and that Japan should start sending real military aid to Ukraine.
>>64687642i'd love to see in what state languishes the pacific fleet. if the black sea and north sea fleet are a bunch of undermanned rustbuckets good only for target practice, the state of the ships docked at vladivostok leave much, much to be desired.
>>64687647Does Japan have anti-ship missiles?>>64687654Are there even any dry-docks in the Russian Far East?
>>64687626>Russia will help China invade TaiwanOh god, the Chinese are doomed.
>>64687642Only threat Russian fleet possess are submarines. Most vessels are old and lacked maintanance for decades, you can see it with Moscow flagship of Black Sea navy that was barely operational. Russian surface fleet is a joke even in soviet times it was first place to cut funds. This is also why first ever hard kill APS was developed for Soviet Marines, because they had no money to switch T-55(steel armor) to T-72(composite armor), so hardkill APS was band aid solution so marines tanks won't get blown up by any retard with at weapon.Submarine fleet on other hand got multiple upgrades and is more or less well maintained(for russian fleet that is).Subs are great for sinking other ships but not much else. They can preform limited missile strike but that's it. And of course there are balistic subs.

>>64687053It got popular because for decades there was no real alternative to light beers. Mike's lemonade is full of sugar and sickly sweet, so getting drunk off it is something people usually do once or twice in college before they realize it's a terrible idea. White Claws are 5% (or 8%), they don't taste like shit, and they don't give you a brutal hangover. They're something that will please women at a party (not that anybody on this website would know anything about that), and they're just barely more expensive than bud light.>>64687358You pay $20 and immediately have drinks that will please pretty much anybody who might be at your party. We're talking about drinks for normies here.
>>64686402I had a dream that I had to operate a rickety old elevator that was made out of a metal disk that was held in place by only one cable, so it was constantly undulating around, and if you stood too close to the edge or didn't hold on to the single cable, the disk would flip like a Super Mario obstacle and dump you down the elevator shaft. I will be taking the stairs at work for the next month.
>>64687578I mean I guess. I just find it unpleasant tasting and worse, that it can bring on an unpleasant drunk.It might taste better than lite beer I guess, I can't remember what lite beer tastes like other than not memorable.Do most normies really drink lite beer if they're having beer?

Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever. We will be dispatching the Grinch Relief Corps (GRC) as needed to remedy. Send grinch relief applications to wendigohunter at protonmail dot comthread theme: https://youtu.be/HPdHkHslFIU?si=--taGzS1BwZ1KnRTold thread>>64643227

>>64686581The gold clips are Mauser pattern but I forgot what exactly. I think small ring.Silver/gray are M1903 clips but work for M14s as well.Magazines are .45ACP 1911 pattern. I didn't know if you have one but figured if you collect milsurp it was a safe bet. If not, you should probably get one!Some of this stuff was the result of trying to stuff the parcel as tight as I could so it's bonus items.I did have a target in Ohio before but it was a very small town and I think I was living in California at the time. The different years I participated in this are blending together so I can't recall 100%.
>>64686555Huh, I was wondering where that pen went. I turned that myself a couple years ago. Should make another one of those. I'm glad you enjoyed the gifts anon.
Anyone who has not received their gift yet, please go ahead and submit your Grinch Relief Request to me at wendigohunter at protonmail dot comWe will be checking tracking, etc, then assigning to the GRC as needed!
Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.
>>64687430An arm launcher is much better for survivability since you can armor the magazine, but worse for combat effectiveness since the firing rate is far slower.FFX (the Legend class; FFGX was Constellation) is actual garbage and I can't understand why it was ever even considered. It's less survivable than the LCS at double the cost and with double the crew and has zero additional capability to show for it. It's only 4,500 tons though, much smaller than Constellation.>The FREMM isn't a mess, it follows a new, modern doctrine where if you take a hit, your ship is uselessThat would be level 1 or lower, similar to the LCS or NSC. It makes much more sense in ships of this size, but people have spent the last 20 years looking for reasons to hate the LCS and this is the main one they latched onto.
>>64687430>The FREMM isn't a mess, it follows a new, modern doctrine where if you take a hit, your ship is useless.Where is this doctrine stated in the French or Italian navy?
>>64687558It's a revealed preference. FREMM needed to be completely reengineered to reach the USN's level 2 standard (should maintain mission capability after a single direct AShM hit), therefore it's level 1 at best (should hold together long enough for the crew to evacuate after a direct AShM hit)
>>64687381Three times the tonnage of a Chinese corvette. Ten times the cost. Half the firepower.If these were actually getting built, might get mad about that.
>>64687631Right, so you're just inferring. Not actually anything substantive to make such a broad generalization?Unless we have a line item on how the FREMMs were passing/failing we can't draw conclusions -- because to what to degree was it SEANAV changing for the sake of changing (no carpets in bunks) versus shock/firefighting etc.
