How well did it perform in combat?
>>64757612It was on-par with the T-34...Which was pretty bad in the 50s when the Soviets were using T-54s in the same role.
>>64757808M41 is a light tank, you obnoxious asslicking vatnigger troglodyte.
>>64757612It was flawed and because it was flawed it wasn't really used much. >>64757827It was too big to be used in the reconnaissance role it was intended for and too poorly equipped to do much else. It did see combat against T-54s when they were used in Vietnam/Laos with mixed results.
How would you defeat this?
>>64757772>It was never terriblelol
>>64750872Make the fight interesting

>>64755337To be fair on Vigil it's not that he was literally hours away from powering off, it's that he finally accomplished his final task.I suspect he was sitting in an extremely low power state until Shep showed up and probably could've sustained it longer, but then used every drop of juice left to communicate the message.>>64756442There's some echoes of similar themes in the final game too. The Reapers say they're harvesting to preserve a trace of the uniqueness of species each cycle, and the purpose isn't just to control organics as they could but to allow different ones to spring up over time. Jarvis talks about how the Prothean empire being so dominant also undercut them, because everyone had roughly the same culture, equipment, technology and doctrine. You cut them all off from each other by turning off the relays, figure out how to deal with one pocket of them, then you've basically figured out how to deal with all of them. I suspect the original idea was that the Reapers were trying to see if new civilisations figured out a way around it, harvest any science they did that might've pointed to something or make their own collective's thinking more diverse through adsorbing them as new reapers.Biggest problem I can see versus the final story is that there's really two conflicts now, the Reapers themselves and the dark energy entropy death of the universe and there's not really a neat way to combine them. Just showing the Reapers that you built the first ever solar powered mass relay and them turning off after or something wouldn't be satisfying. Maybe reworking the Crucible into 'the power to stop the Reapers', but you still need to sell why everyone's building this thing without knowing what it even does.Only thing I could think is making it about finishing an ancient prototype that takes combining a bunch of cutting edge innovations from around the galaxy, everyone thinks it's a fleet-killer energy weapon instead of a tech demo.
Reapers fighting the entropy of the galaxy from Dork Matter is a more suitable reason appropriate to the mystery and cosmic scale of the setting compared to AI plotline which the geth and quarians already address.Its also appropiate that the main antagonist of the entire trilogy refers to the core theme and title of the series .... the Mass Effect>M4 Faunts II
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.
>>64757215>I'm not posting anything btw. Because you don’t own it. Kek every fucking time. Act like the superior know it all if you want. You can’t even prove the most basic of statement. It would take less effort to do that than you other replies and it would have made me look dumb. But you didn’t. Because you can’t.
>>64757412You don't have the mental capacity to participate in a discussion. You're lost bro. Threw my response into chatgpt. Even a dumb mlm could follow it. Maybe check with it like dementia patients do.Yes—it does answer the post, and fairly directly.The original post mocks an alleged spec (“62gr bullet at 1000 fps”) to dismiss the concept.The reply corrects that factual claim (“half that weight at double the velocity”) and explains the intended use case (modularity via magazine change from .22 LR–like to .22 WMR–like performance).So the response:Engages the core claim (ballistics),Refutes it with a counter-assertion,Comment too long.

>>64757447>Threw my response into chatgpt. Kek that explains everything >The reply corrects that factual claim (“half that weight at double the velocity”)Oh so you ARE doubling down that a subsonic round travels 2000fps. Neat. I assumed you misspoke. Now I see you are completely retarded. You put your reply in chatgpt because you’re a noguns faggot. Normally I’d say this was excellent bait but you are far too serious for that.
>>64757621>2000fps subsonicWell now hang on, maybe that anon lives on Venus.

>>64755622Fun fact: the bullet of a .308 and a .30-06 have the same diameter.
>>64758079They laughed at the idea of using tungsten for the standard loading and knew it would languish in obscurity for decades before appearing on Forgotten Weapons and then being forgotten again.>>64758179Fun fact: the bullet of a 7.62x51 and a 7.62x54R do *not* have the same diameter.
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?

What’s your favorite gun? Mine is my Nighthawk Custom Predator in 10mm.
>>64757746It’s an absolute beast
>>64757553no you dumb bitch
>>64757642Unironically, in my experience. I've found M14s to be better in it's soft features. I prefer the sights, and historically, they have been more reliable. Though my FAL builds are only built by me.

>>64758141Smith
>>64758142I have an FN, you scared me when you said that issue with the mag
>>64758147Sorry I wasn't clear, I thought it'd be apparent because I mentioned the tempo barrel and the other stuff. As far as I know fn and ruger's don't have any issues like that.This is what the magazine looks like, for comparison to yours. It is an actual piece of shit.
>>64757822I should clarify it hasn't been in stock for distributors I have access to, but thank you>>64757977Really can't beat the pricing of the holosuns. An enclosed optic with a forward facing sensor would be even better.
Writefag here, I’m looking for real “out there” firearms that are advanced looking but not too impractical for my sci-fi setting.

>>64756879>its round recoiled as much as a .308 while only delivering the power of a 5.56.Where do you noguns retards get stupid fucking ideas like this?
>>64758167He might be thinking of the various flechette guns or something, though those were just loud and disorienting to fire with no substantial recoil
>>64757658This is literally not possible, and even if it was, the recoil would be entirely from the muzzle jet and could be completely eliminated with a muzzle device.
>>64755468I’m not really into Firefly and I meant to write Cowboy Bebop. You can have a place for space westerners in my setting, while urban centers I picture more like Miami Vice or Police Story across most Chinese cities
How effective are the Japanese Self Defense Forces? Could they be as bad ass as the Imperial Japanese Army? How do they stack up to the PLA, Russian or Western armies if Japanese is allowed to fully re-arm?
>>64756493That doesn't change what I said. The JSDF is not looked at as a respectable career nor something aspirational. Both the Liberal party and the Leftists both oppose military expansionism and military culture.
>>64758123>The JSDF is not looked at as a respectable career nor something aspirationalI don't think it's a welfare organisation in Japan either, so anyone joining probably really wants to play army man.There's worse stock to recruit from.
>>64755052Japanese Imperial Army was a conscript army that relied on poison gas to win battles against technologically inferior armies, whenever their conscripts got beaten up on combat.Japan had to use poison gas dropped from bomber planes against Taiwan Aboriginals in 1930 after the primitive iron age Aboriginals kicked the asses of the Japanese army in ground fighting.Japan used poison gas and lost at Taierzhuang, Wuyuan, Shanggao, Wanjialing to a technologically inferior army
>>64755052>>64755063>>64758206Numerically superior Japanese used human waves against outnumbered Russians at the land battles of Port Arthur and Nanshan and they got slaughtered by the Russians.Japanese lost more dead than Russians in both battles.Japan was only saved by the Jew banker Jacob Schiff's loans and the British built Meiji fleet in the naval part of the war.Japan sold over 100,000 Japanese teenage girls as karayuki-san prostitutes to Chinese coolies and Western colonies in the Meiji restoration to modernise their military and pay for that fleet.
>>64755052>Could they be as bad ass as the Imperial Japanese Army? Moro Muslim fighters with keris (daggers) and bolo (machetes) annihilated the Japanese army at the battles of Tamparan in 1942 and Jolo in 1944-1945.Japanese soldiers like Fujioka Akiyoshi admitted to being slaughtered like animals by the Moros and their morale completely broke down and Japanese soldiers fought each other.Taiwan Aboriginal soldier Buyan Nawi said he saw Japanese Yamato soldiers kill each other and eat each other.Not eating dead corpses, but killing fellow Japanese for food.The Yamato Japanese starved to death and dehydrated and begged the Taiwan Aboriginals to use their skills to find food and water for them.
>>64757362nope doesnt matter if its 1/3 behind the trigger or 2.9999999/3 behind the trigger. behind the trigger is behind the trigger
>>64757453Good thing then that the bolt is ahead of the trigger when closed making it not a bullpup. Good bye.
>>64757968because you moved the goalposts i win automatically
>>64757974I moved nothing. Your dumbass thinks semiautomatic handguns are bullpups because the magazine is behind the trigger. What a retard lol.
>>64757992They are dummy, they bullpupped the original handguns.
>880,000 dog attacks in the US of A requiring medical attention last year>Cannot be reasoned with in any capacity as opposed to most criminals that usually just want to steal your shit and will back off if they decide they can victimize someone else easierWhat calibers and firearms do you carry to protect against the pitter scurge? Shot placement?Keep in mind you may be in situations where you have to stop a loose shit bull from tearing some bystanders face off and over penetration is an actual concern when it's lockjawed onto that poor soul.

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?
>>64743611NO! NOT T3H /k/OT!!! MONSTER!>>64742593Having read so far, some top ideas.I'll add:- sell here on /k/ marketplace, give is a special deal you can afford for a couple weeks or the first hundred you sell here or something- set price at $75/$80 for a single unit, but price break for people who buy 5 at a time, like $250 or $300(You) CAN document these are virgin, original 1959 manufacture, right? That makes them unusual collectables, so don't undersell yourself too far. If you're not getting action, put some on temporary price reduction every now and then at random shake up your market and get your buyers looking & waiting for discounts. The raffle idea is pretty solid, too.>>64745145WWJJD?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
