>>64703856BMP-2 has to be a contender, it's like it was intentionally designed to turn the troops it's transporting into charcoal
>>64704192I'll defend the BMP series' fuel tanks for a couple reasons: anything thats going to be able to get to the central tank, rupture it and ignite the fuel is almost certainly going to have fucked the guys sitting around it already, so its really just an expedient cremation feature of the vehicle. As far as the rear tanks, those were normally used for longer transit periods, they could resist rifle caliber AP rounds and if someone is shooting the back of your APC with an autocannon you have bigger immediate survivability issues

Which is better? Steam or Electromagnetic Catapults?
>>64700379>The current goes into the hull Not the argument, DC causes way more corrosion than AC and directly corrodes the rails and coils. It's a maintenance nightmare on top of a system that's already a maintenance nightmare.
>>64704032Yes, but I think the flywheel itself is a result of wanting AC for other reasons. I read a Navy paper on railguns a while back where they stated that capacitors are preferable to flywheels because they're safer. I think if they had gone with a DC design, it would have been much more likely to use capacitors than flywheels.>The big downside of LIMs is speed is frequency dependant so you need to ramp frequency up as speed increases.I think maybe the compulsator can account for this? I'm unclear on how exactly it differs from a normal alternator.
whatever china does is good. They are the most technological advanced civilization.

finally! Trump and Hegseth again drained another swamp! Time to revamp the entire USAF. No more Lockmart lobbying.
>>64704307they all look the same to me. I don't see any roundels on it. How do you know it is norge?

>>64704316Pod for the drag chute between the tails. I got curious too and that was the only standout feature.

Why did they killed it?
>>64697248I’ve literally never met somebody who owns one of these. Who the fuck has the money for a $4000 battle rifle? The few people who do own them seem to use them most as range toys anyway so very much a rich person gun like the HK416 only arguably less useful.
>>64701076Mechanical Engineer here I also made 11K on Ebay in 2025 I have 4K to spend on this rifle but no I'm not doing it
>>64699200>18% of the world population is jeets.grim
>>64697248Scars are cool but for the cost of a Scar, I could probably buy 2 or 3 AK platform rifles in different calibers. AKs are cool, and they cost less than a Scar so why would I buy a Scar? Don't Scars have reliability issues too?
>>64701246>Don't Scars have reliability issues too?No you stupid bitch. SCARs are some of the most reliable rifles on the market.

>>64704120By friend, you mean your penis, right?
It literally never got more accurate than this.
>>64703917You must have been really not liked if the guys in your squad/platoon were stealing from you. One of my boys almost threw hands on my behalf because someone accidentally drank my red bull I left out. Anyway, yeah it shows how you have to beg/borrow/steal/improvise in the show. Its one of the best, well researched and portrayed depictions of a military story. Better than BoB or the Pacific.
>>64703291The best way to kick a nicotine addiction is to never start. You won't regret not doing dip.Source: used to dip, can't stand it now
>>64703291I'm a former smoker. I never cared for dip, the taste, and spitting aren't my thing. Always makes me a bit nauseous too, probably because I'm like 60% retarded.
>>64703917the show is retarded and boring as fuck people will tell you it's realistic because they were in the military and did fuck all too just like these fucking retarded shitter driving around shitting in bags telling fart jokes who gives a single flying fuck actual brainless slop go read a fucking book
>>64704221>You must have been really not liked if the guys in your squad/platoon were stealing from you. I got stolen from once in four years, when another portion of a unit I was attached to handled our gear. So go figure myself and half the platoon got random shit stolen from us. White trash is as white trash does. In the workup prior to that another companies xo got his entire cif issue stolen in the field. Was he hated so much that he was stolen from? Actually no, the individuals responsible for it were caught and admitted that they did it for money. Disgusting that you make excuses for thieves.>Anyway, yeah it shows how you have to beg/borrow/steal/improvise in the showAh good, white trash being portrayed accurately. Better than the other way.>>64704251Oh I know the show is shit. As if Iraq and Afghanistan were hard or a real war lol. They were the equivalent of a child knocking over an anthill.

Guys…. I’m really tempted.. although honestly I think the 50 ae version would be equally interesting since the ammo is a much better match for the lack of barrel length…

Redpill me on the Glock 17L. Is it really worth it over a regular 17?
>>64704204A friend of mine let me shoot his. The trigger was awful and it did unnatural things to my wrist.
Is now a good time to join the US military? I'm on the fence... but I also don't have anything going on as a civilian. Any branch/job recs? I feel kinda burnt out on life, maybe a change of pace would be nice. I don't really care for the current admin but it's just a job.
>>64704077Imagine being such a genuine fucking loser that you not only have to grovel to strangers on the internet about how bad your life is, but that you keep making this same thread over and over.Enlist or don't, there is not a single person here that gives one iota of a fuck about your pathetic life. Literally just call a fucking recruiter. Thats all you have to do. One simple fucking thing and you're too stupid to even do that. "Hi Sgt recruiter my name is anon and I want to join your branch of the military. What are some cool jobs that you can offer me?"But you made this thread thinking you'd get your dick sucked off and have milfags fighting for the privilege of your time and attention, didn't you? Please anon, come join the Army! You can be an Option 40 11X and join the Rangers and be a hero just like in your video games! Please come be a Ranger, I know you can totally do more than 30 push ups and have the mental fortitude required to earn your tab, that's why you're asking total strangers on the internet to crowdsource your life decisions. You're so smart and cool, you can do it no problem!Fuck alllllllllllllll the way off and stop making these dumb ass threads. Don't bother replying to me because I won't read it.
>>64704077Trades or community college or something? Security is a good easy gig if you’re in school and pays pretty well for someone young. You have to remember that we’re all just pawns to these people and we serve their interests and not the American people. The military as a concept is badass but the reality is not.

>>64704077It's not nearly as cool as it seems. The ratio of cool guy shit to gay retard shit in the day to day is about 1/99.That said, you'll have some stupid fucking fun experiences if you're not a fucking antisocial loser.

Has anyone donated more low-background steel to the bottom of the ocean than Germany?

How would this movie play out IRL?>US Embassy under siege in Yemen>crowd of angry protesters shooting at the building and throwing petrol bombs and rocks>3 Marines killed by enemy fire during the evacuation>Marines return fire killing 84 civilians protestingI can't help but think this would be a total nothingburger if it actually happened. The USS Cole was bombed by Yemenis in 2000, and the 18 US deaths in Mogadishu was only 7 years earlier.
it's so contrived that it doesn't matter <</tv>>
The Secretary of State would tell you not to carry weapons, not to set up defenses, and not to fight back because it would look bad.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Benghazi_attack
Speech: http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/5ceed4f1eb2058145a9bbbc60fcf07dd.kcmsftl;rd: Basically they want a nuclear sub fleet and are building a Blue Water navy, new surface ships explicitly referred to as 'Attack Destroyers'1/4: It is large.
>>64700776>Russians who are good at building submarinesRussian submarines are quiet for about 5 minutes after being launched, but then become loud due to design faults.
>>64704174The report was an exclusive of laverdad.es in relation to the current ongoing investigation of the Spanish authorities. It has more credibility than all the russian media put together.https://www.laverdad.es/murcia/cartagena/barco-ruso-hundido-frente-cartagena-ocultaba-dos-20251228071129-nt.htmlAnd that is the update +1 year after the incident.
>>64704195there's no mention of any exclusive. no spanish authority has acknowledged this reporting. rag newspaper didn't even ask for comment.
>>64704207>El hundimiento del carguero ruso Ursa Major, ocurrido hace justo un año a 60 millas náuticas de Cartagena, ha dejado de ser un misterio gracias a una exhaustiva investigación revelada en exclusiva por el diario LA VERDAD.
>>64676448>troon voiceRuined, was honestly looking forward to listening to that. Learning about juche from some western transvestite who'd likely be summarily executed in north korea is just outright comedy, but not the actually funny type, the type that reminds you of how deeply retarded people are.
Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
>>64703801you ideally want the right TYPE of plastic. not gonna melt/become brittle in a year and snap off the rail/actually fits the hole in the first place. for 7$ though.. its not like its a life or death issue if they break or whatever on your rifle. ive seen plenty of PLA+ 3D printed VFG's/handstops and even printed them myself. good enough for fun/hunting but im not gonna take it to war.
How much quieter is suppressed 5.56 from a bolt action compared to an AR?
>>64703983There's an additional click-clack by your head in an AR, but that sound is only about 115dB iirc. There is port pop but a suppressed muzzle report is still 135+dB so port pop is negligible compared to that, and I think I recall from old suppressor testing videos that the supersonic crack from a 5.56 bullet is is ~140dB* so that would be the baseline in both cases, even though they "feel" and sound different enough to notice in person*yes I know AI has a different answer now, but "80-100dB" is obviously incorrect, a suppressed supersonic .22 crack is louder than that 100y from the shooter and that's barely supersonictl;dr It's noticeably quieter "to the ear" but not really elsewhere, or enough to matter
>>64704023Oh heck yeah I found it. .308 supersonic crack is just under 140dB, so still louder than a suppressed muzzle blast. And interestingly you can see that transient area from 1,100 to 1,300 fps where volume hasn't yet topped out--that's where supersonic .22 resideshttp://guns.connect.fi/rs/bulnoise.html
>>64703861yeah im expecting something more flimsy but the only part that might even see much action is the front part and im not planning to wack the thing on tables
wouldnt it be dumb to not double the manpower available to a given army in a time of war?
>>64703393army just calls those 'flat tops' its an m16a1 where they switched out the top with the carry handle for a top with a rail.
>>64703393i always liked these idf m16a1-m4 cludged builds they look like 1990s SOF car 15s>>64703345i would hate to be subject to a cbt torture followed by a sloppy cunnilingus at gun point...
>>64703330(but only if they're hot)
>>64703112The wrong person in a needed position will often only make things worse.
>>64703643You can't be subjected to both CBT and cunnilingus.>You know what I meant.I want you all to stop destroying the language by misusing it.
