is it really worth it or overrated ?i mostly see cringy redditors use it for they commute i'd like to know if their bags are really that good before i drop 1k to replace my rig with theirs
>>64698542>Ultimately my decision was simply a case of "poor mindset". I had the money but was afraid to use it due to living below the poverty line for 20 years.This is a big self revelation and I congratulate you. I buy less things myself, but for more expensive things, these days.

How effective have they been these last few years, are they legitimately on par with the f-35 and f-22?
>>64703794>They'd be vastly better off with more Su-30s.Not Su-35's?
>>64703784Pretty bad sign for your "advanced" aircraft if it can't fly over Ukrainian air space.
>>64703800My understanding is the two-seater Su-30 gives it better strike capabilities than the single seat Su-35. But truly what do I know. Few things are more inscrutable than Russian model designations.
>>64703778Seeing as how they've had massive sales with a decade long backlog I'd say pretty damned effective.
>>64703800>>64703923Su-30 is supposed to be the slavchimp Strike-Eagle. The Su-35 is mostly an air-superiority fighter, but it's also multirole. So maybe it's like a slavchimp land-based Super Hornet.
Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?
>>64680529>>64686202Kek, based Flips. If they could get their act together, they'd be a regional power.
>>64701754I mean they kinda already are. There's a reason the chinks don't go for direct confrontations with their navy and only ever harass their fishermen or lone RHIB then hightail it out when the bigger boats come rolling in.
>>64701859Someone should sell icebreakers to the Philippines for the lulz, or just show them how to build them and if ping pong wants to play bing bang with some 'fishing boat', just sink the cunts

Which is better? Steam or Electromagnetic Catapults?
>>64701540I hope they shoved them out a tiny air lock and they got cooked by space radiation.
>>64698390the bigger the better
>>64703822>AC gives you more bang for your buckHow? I get it's better for grids and generation because you can have brushless alternators and transformers but this isn't a grid it's a coil gun.DC is much better and pulsed DC produces the same flux pattern as steady DC unlike AC which alternates.The only downside is you need either a generator on the turbines or a rectifier but with AC you would need a big step-down transformer.
>impact on steam linesAny dipshit can fit and weld steam lines>impact on wiring and computers and shitComplete mission kill and return to port
>>64703894>>64703822I don't this is really an AC vs DC thing, that's just a result of the design. If I understand correctly, the American launcher is a compulsator powered linear induction motor, while the Chinese launcher is essentially a capacitor powered railgun. The American design uses AC power because the compulsator generates AC and the LIM consumes AC, while the Chinese design uses DC power because the capacitors store DC and the railgun consumes DC. I don't know much about the relative advantages of compulsators vs capacitors or induction vs homopolar motors, but I think that's where you'll find the reasons for the different methods.
https://nextgendefense.com/poland-invisible-shield/>Poland’s STRATUS system uses high-intensity electromagnetic pulses to disable hostile drones, creating an “invisible shield” without explosive or kinetic effects.

>>64690719>Gentlemen, behold: The Kurwa Kannon!
>>64701935A fiber optic cable wouldn't help in this case. The cable just stops jamming. The idea behind the tech in OP is to literally fry the electronics. Not just jam the signal...and what's pictured is decades old tech ironically.Look, most people are too stupid to understand what types of directed energy systems are currently available to the USA and many other first world nations.They are showing you tech that was developed probably back in the 80s.A horn antenna EMP gun is nothing new.Read the 2024 addition of High Powered Microwave Weapons (forgot the author but will try to find the link in a bit)We have microwave tech far and beyond what is pictured in OP.Laser tech is also more advanced than what is commonly described by the main stream.Comment too long.

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.
>>64703029Many of them will come apart. Some are hinged and use a locking mechanism, in others the breech face and striker/hammer components can screw out of the back of the gun, or the barrel screws off the front. In this case it looks like the barrel screws out. I've also seen quite a few open-bolt designs where you simply drop the round in the chamber, run it home with a finger, and then extract with a stick down the barrel - think the Liberator pistol or the GB-22. The really cheap tubular zip guns are usually meant to be disposable anyway
Tell me about swivel bore rifles. I could google it but I like it when you guys tell me things
So I want a handstop but I was wondering is buying these airsoft versions a good alternative compared to the more expensive ones by major firearm companies?plastic is plastic right?
>>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.

Today the Somaliland coast guard showed off its entire coast guard to celebrate Israeli Recognition I'm sharing every boat showed off. Seems to be 1 warship, a few patrol boats and 2 other boats
>>64698851Thank you. It is hard to be so consistent but i do my best to rush at Chollima speed from thread to thread keeping you all updated as to the almost Sung like wisdom of my very important dogshit opinions. I very much appreciate your praise but it is unneeded. I seek not glory for myself but simply to uplift our community, The People of /k/ until all share the benefits of proper thought.
>>64689964>Somaliland gets another state to recognize itIsrael is the only state to recognize it.
>One illegitimate state recognizes another equally illegitimate stateI kid of course. Somaliland has far more legitimacy than Israel. Also if you have an IQ greater than 80 you may recognize this as a very basic move to butter them up to accept Palestinian refugees. Israel doesn't do anything for free and have never once done anything that wasn't for their benefit and at someone else's expense in their entire history
>>64692640Oh? Was it ever going to be normal then?

>>64703938They just care about the whole Palestinian conflict, and pretty much ignore absolutely every other abhorrent thing that Israel does and what its leaders will just flat out admit out loud in front of cameras because they know no one who wants to fit in/keep his job will be looking that up.

>>64703271>https://utahgunexchange.com/author/grizzlyarmament/He's just selling off a few guns from his dad's collection since he died a few years ago. They have the old West Jordan address on them. If this was a legit operation they'd have real pictures of a production facility, parts, machines, or something real. Even CAD renderings would be infinitely more than they have now. This is a couple bro vets and a son of a guy attempting to defraud boomers.
>>64703399>Some other gunsmith tried making a modern Bren Ten as well but the ATF fucked him over before he could even put one together.lmao I can guarantee they didn't. "Da ATF won't let me make 'em! Sorry folks!" is the #1 excuse for every single fucking scammer who promises a reproduction of some hard to get gun, takes a bunch of preorder money, and then fails to actually deliver a product. And gun owners are retarded enough to keep falling for it.
I have a big boar 50 that is a nice gun (I bought it because of tremors and jurassic park). I have wanted to get one of their 1911s but prices went stupid on them around covid and even a beat to shit 45 win mag was around $1500, and i'd rather not have a 45 win mag just because that's a pain to find evaporate.I was told freedom group bought out grizzly for their equipment and then sat on them because they were cancer. Not sure if that's true but fuck them anyway. If it's under 2500 i'd probably do a 50 or 44. No idea what the price will be if it isn't vaporware.
>>64701184Looks cool but I'm more interested in those big revolver rifles behind it.
>>64703380>The bipod on the barrel was supposedly to improve handling of a hot tubeso that's why they issued an asbestos glove for barrel replacement?
>>64702856Based on what you wrote it seems to fulfil a recurring theme with US service weapons - generally nice to shoot, often very innovative or employ some advanced technology, but also kinda overcomplicated and more difficult to maintain than it really needs to be...
>>64703179In practice, spare barrels weren't carried into the bush. Do I think that's good for the gun to be fired a lot on 1 barrel? No. But it's how they did it, and from what I've been able to tell, historically speaking, no one actually changed barrels out as much as they were supposed to in combat. >>64703198I'd only ever heard about benchrest guys worrying about that. Not coping, but maybe the barrel is thick enough to not flex much
>>64703483Not him, but maybe it could if you absolutely had to? I'm brainstorming
>>64703897You had me until>but also kinda overcomplicated and more difficult to maintain than it really needs to be...I would say more that they're sometimes kind of odd internally, as a side effect of being innovative and cutting edge as you were saying
