I love 7mm-08 and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
>>64703476What this (>>64703922) anon said is correct. If zeroed on MPBR, you can just pretend gravity doesn’t exist within that range. However let’s say you’re zeroed for MPBR on a 7” target and your MPBR is 300 yards, meaning you can allow +-3.5’ in any direction and still make a hit, wind drift can easily exceed this amount and cause a miss. 5.56 for example drifts IIRC something like a foot by the end of its MPBR. Wind is a real bitch and the only counter to it is short flight time and high BC.>>64705572Can’t be +50% or you’d need at least 1.5x the velocity (same flight time but with a 1.5x increase in average velocity). .243 would have to be pushing ~4000fps for this to be true.
>>64696693Based. I don't own one, couldn't see myself buying one, but I always hope to win one at a gun raffle.
>>64703928>case to bore ratioCan you think of a more imaginary statistic?
>>64705856>doesn't understand overboreAdmittedly, I should have stated case volume for just (you).
>>64705856What he means is case capacity to bore diameter ratio (“overbore ratio” or “relative capacity”), and it is perhaps the most important metric of a cartridge that carries with it vast amounts of information about a cartridge’s performance. It’s predictive of.>barrel life>appropriate barrel length>external ballistics potential>penetration characteristics>max practical rangeThe last three are obvious once you realize case capacity divided by bore area is just sectional energy, so anything that scales with SD*V^2 (trajectory, penetration) will also scale with overbore ratio.
Now that the Chink chimpout over the $11B Taiwan weapons deal and most recent numbers print from their imploding economy has wrapped up, I want to tally some numbers for the 'explicitly presented as the largest-ever military exercise around Taiwan'. This exercise was also explicitly stated as a blockade exercise vs the strike exercises of 2024.Taiwanese sources have reported that >6:00 a.m. Dec 29 - 6:00 a.m. Dec 30, 130 PLA aircraft detected. 14 PLAN warships + 14 CCG vessels.>6:00 a.m. Dec 30 – 6:00 a.m. Dec 31 Aircraft: 77 PLA aircraft detected. 17 PLAN warships + 8 CCG vessels.What's so damming to me is that the area of operations for the exercises were 2x larger than that of the 2024, and 3x that of the 2022 Pelosi chimpout. Yet there were less aircraft than in 2024, 130 in a single day vs 150 in a single day. The sorties also started slow, taking till the mid afternoon to get to peak detection rates as per Taiwan MOD. So this is where I really get to the main bit. A blockade requires substantially more sorties, I'm talking 48 sorties just to get 8 planes on CAP for 24h. Yet the PLA did only 130 in a day, barely enough for a dozen planes to be on 24h CAP. There's just no excuse. You NEED to have CAP or else US and Jap planes can just sneak in and rape you. The second day is so pathetically bad with 77 aircraft so I don't even wanna talk about it, just assume it's 2x worse.So you've got what is >supposed to be the biggest exercise ever>covering an area 2x bigger than previous ones>supposedly have 1600 aircraft stationed east of Beijing>yet can only muster up 130 sorties 6 hours laterImplessive. My theory is that the PLA airforce not only has a low readiness, but the logistics are so fucked that they actually can't turn around airplanes fast enough with things as basic as fuel.picrel is taiwan missilehttps://news.usni.org/2025/12/31/china-wraps-justice-mission-taiwan-blockade-drillsComment too long.

I've seen several videos of russians getting fried by their own grenades or land mines when these take red hot fragments from exploding drones. They do not detonate, just conflagrate in a manner similar to a lithium battery fire.

Scar newfag here again - does anyone have any recommendations for slings? Not looking for anything crazy or tacticool (necessarily), just a solid 2 point that would be comfortable to carry it around with.First batch of google-fu turned up BFG Vickers being well reviewed, but the mounts are really throwing me off. Would prefer something that isn't going to unduly scratch shit up.

>>64703997The clinging to solid colors uniforms is something pleasant. Nice to see a Western army with something other than Multicam.
>>64699960>>hamas fighters come out of hiding eager for a fight against vehicles with a reputation for vulnerabilityIt's cute that Israeli drones come up with this fanfiction to cope with their constant military failures.
>>64703997Well the last couple years has shown the IDF to be WAY too inept to actually defeat any of their enemies so these retarded propaganda stunts and baby killing is really all they have left keeping their national identity alive.
These movies don't even try to have internal consistency with their combat and power dynamics.Movie 1: Navi have superior genetics and bodies but 3 different battles demonstrate that the training and tech of humans gives them a massive advantage. In the final battle Navi get a decent surprise off but then start getting whooped, it's only when nature itself turns against the humans that the Navi win. Movie 2:Recoms now exist, with the the superior weapons and tactical training combined with navi genetic superiority they should be unstoppable.NoNeyteri goes angry mom mode and kills them even easier than she did normal humans in the last movie. Not one recom or normal human scores a kill in this entire movie outside quaritch killing jake's son.Movie 3:See movie 2James Cameron is a fucking idiot.
>>64704641They know the climate shit is a grift though.
>>64706540Yes and no. There's been an observable shift in the past 15 years, I remember when there was snow and ice by mid November and the rivers froze, now we get rain and the odd bit of frost and maybe a flurry of flakes in January, and summer heatwaves of 50+c in the sun are the norm now, as opposed to freak weather back then.But there is a question as to if the doomsday prophecies will actually come true, and how much of thus is the earth naturally coming out of the ice age (we are technically still in one) and how much human activity is accelerating it.And then, there's the hard truth the lefties say away from that is the fact that muh precious turdies are the biggest polluters. India, China, and sub Sahara count for roughly 70% of global carbon and pollution output, but the lefties balk at decrying their actions.

>>64706796I’m a huge proponent of No.1 buck. Even Dr. Roberts noted in his research that it caused 30%-35% more tissue damage than the same weight of 00 buck. It’s not as common and federal discontinued their No.1 buck flite control a few years back which is kind of a pain, but in general it’s an amazing load in my opinion. 16x .30 cal pellets at 1300fps is no joke.

Why is there so little media about this conflict? Americans fighting actual reds with WW2 tech is badass even if it wasn’t a total victory but I guess frostbite and getting swarmed by human waves doesn’t make for good recruitment propaganda.

Mao Anying died in the Korean war.
>>64705049Here's a topic I actually know something about from college.The Korean War is a mixed bag of colossal fuck-ups and brilliant victories by the United States in both tactical and strategic senses.Task Force Smith was an utter mistake by the American government. Those troops got their asses kicked for extremely obvious reasons. MacArthur corrected that with a masterpiece at Inchon. And then he went full-retard threatening China with nuclear weapons, right up against their border on the Yalu, against Truman's orders. China invades to self-protect with zillions of cannon fodder, which America isn't prepared to deal with. It ends with an uneasy armistice. MacArthur got fired for making a very obviously stupid fuck-up. He was a raging Republican, btw. And Truman got ousted by Eisenhower, a Republican who had 10 thousand percent more political sense than Mac ever had. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

So im working on a worldbuilding project inspired by the war on terror and im curious how /k/ thinks ground combat will look in like 200 years. Will armored vehicles have their own drone support systems? Will AI lead militaries? Will we have D-Day boat style dropships unloading soldiers in the middle of warzones? Will we finaly get mechs or will the square cube law still be a MASSIVE faggot?
>>64706506These are my ideas but i want to make them authentic. That's why i asked this board.
will the marines be using multicam or aor?
>>64705588Why don't you use your own imagination you absolute boring ducking faggot
>>64706526200 years is a long time for technology to develop. The internet is only 35 ish years old. And only really mass adopted for at most 20.
>>64705588>So im working on a worldbuilding project inspired by the war on terror and im curious how /k/ thinks ground combat will look in like 200 years.Due to dysgenics (see Helmut Nyborg, double relaxed darwinian selection paper) future average IQ of just about any country in 200 years will be sub 70 or even lower. I've read a lot of modern american scifi and americans have these ideas of the future that are completely incompatible with the present. If you just make up things, it isnt scifi, its fantasy. F.ex Star Trek isnt scifi, its fantasy, in a non magical setting.

Hello? Grandson? I heard in another thread that you were here.
What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
>>64705784>primer stake/crimpPrimers are fine anon, I'm talking about the crimp on the case mouth (or lack thereof) that's so poor you can re-seat the bullet.You add initial pressure by reducing volume a touch, and a good consistent collet crimp means a higher and more consistent pressure before that light bullet starts moving down the barrel (if it goes "early" that's increasing volume again and giving you a shittier burn).There's only so much you can do because the powder weight is a bit inconsistent, but WWB etc can certainly be improved and it'll take you less than an hour to do a 1k case.
Gen6 predictions?
>>64706893I fully forgot the reduce the seating to increase pressure a bit. Does a shorter 9mm feed better without canting between magazine and chamber? I run into enouth problems that even 124gr Fiochi gives me a malfunction every 2-3 mags and i dont know why. I ended jp getting a 11lbs spring this week to get a wider ramge of springs for testing the 12rgr copper plated rounds.
>>64706958>Does a shorter 9mm feed better without canting between magazine and chamberDepends on the bullet and gun. Generally with RN and Glock, yes in theory but not so's you'd really notice. Sounds more like you're having mag problems desu, when was the last time you wiped the crud out of them? Springs and followers still good?
>>64706981I got 3 here and never shot more than 100 rnds without cleaning them. Maybe i should remove the fat compensator and see if its still keep happening. But why should somebody sell a comp when its vausing many malfunctions. Should i buy some flat nose 124gr to check out,too?
