Theoretically what’s the smallest ranged weapon that could be equipped by someone that could still reasonably incapacitate a regular sized person?

>>64758301I don't understand *why* pazu decided to take up prospecting for financing repairs when it is literally stated that they have a small fortune. Though I can understand wanting to build the house with his own two hands. I do wonder how the baby will be affected by the drugs she drugged her husband with and took herself because there is no way something that incapacitate a full grown man and reduce his mind to a mere haze is not going to affect the child. She must have gotten some bad info.

>>64767872I think the smaller ground robots will work better for stuff like demining, recon and surveillance, medivac, resupplies, rather than using them as dedicated weapons platforms. Use the bigger robots with 50 cals as dedicated gun platforms and the smaller ones as support units. >>64767923China also does shit like training soldiers to shoot while riding a motorcycle and using bayonets to knock down FPV drones so I wouldn’t take anything China does seriously until proven effective in combat.

>>64767904>>64767937Neat, but those clips are making me realize why LMGs suck.
>>64768002What, the recoil? That guy clearly has no full auto experience, those things are so heavy they're actually pretty controllable.
2 more weeks CZ and mossberg patriot trannies btfo'dhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMXQ5_jTfYMthat is the loosest and most useless hasty sling I've ever seen. On the one hand, plastic sloppa stock, but they put and adjustable comb and length of pull knobs in the stock so that's cook
>>64764983Also Mossberg is a garbage brand so not even sure why you're comparing them to CZ or Savage. They only have their shotguns which are 1:1 copies of old expired Remington patents, which were allowed to expire because they were inferior designs which break or fail easily. Non captive shell stops coupled with a wobbly ass pump bar is bad news. But this board loves cheap hot garbage and not actually knowing shit.

>>64767833The M60 copies the bolt and piston from the FG42, and then the feed cover from the MG42.The original proof of concept was outright a modified FG42 with the belt feed from an MG42 added to it, but they weren't gonna do literally that, they were gonna redo it from the ground up and in a new cartridge.>>64767838Stg44 has a long-stroke piston, but otherwise you're correct. The Stg44 copies the piston and bolt from the Czech Zb.26 machinegun, like very closely.The AK copies the rotating bolt from the Garand, and the long-stroke piston from the 1918 BAR, and that's by Kalashnikov's own words. He never mentioned the Remington Model 8, but the double hook sear and braided wire in the fire controls are extremely similar (same double hook sear is also seen in the Garand and its descendants), but the manual safety on the Remington rifle doubling as a dust cover behind the charging handle is conceptually identical, so either Kalashnikov copied that and didn't mention it (or forgot), or it was one of his assistants providing that aspect.Kalashnikov denies the Stg44 influencing him, and maybe that's actually true, or maybe it isn't, but the resulting AK is highly structurally and mechanically dissimilar to the Stg44.The closest direct descendant which the Stg44 has was a rifle submitted to East German trials, and which was straight up the Stg44 design but in 7.62x39mm, using 20rd mags, and featuring a 3rd burst setting.
>>64767954The Model 8 connection is something I've wondered at for a long time, especially now that I have one to compare to my AKs. I can't figure out how anyone involved with the AK would have seen one since Russia never bought any in WW1 like the French did. The FN 1900 was around, but less than 5000 of those were ever made and I doubt any could have been sent to Russia after 1914, leaving only 4 years in which one could have arrived.
>>64766988the new ones look so ugly
Does it make a difference? If so, how?
>>64765865Smaller vs larger ejection port cuts on a 1911
>>64765755Weakened in a meaningful way? No.
>>64765921You are most likely right. And with modern metallurgy and some fancy nancy alloy, the slide with the larger ejection port is probably still more rigid than the old one made from some inferior alloy.But if someone is using Bobbas pissing hot hand loads™ at the end of this slides life span, it will most likely crack at this exact spot.Fun fact. That's the spot where some pistols of the first version of the P8 (Germanys version of the HK USP) cracked. And this was a gun that was designed around the .40 S&W while only shooting some 9mm FMJ +P. Wikipedia says that it was due to pressure spikes in the ammo. I've heard another story from someone. Let's call him swim and he just made it up and he definitively never looked into confidetial records.Story goes something like this. After training and before putting the weapons back into the armory the soldiers usually oil the barrel and chamber to prevent rust. Now before going to the range they should run a couple of cleaning wicks through the barrel to get it dry again.If the barrel and chamber are still oily it would greatly reduce the friction of the empty case in the chamber during opening. Resulting in a faster recoiling slide and a drasticly reduced life span of the gun. My memory might be wrong on this one, but we are talking about <1000rds for a gun that should have a life span of >10.000rds.
>>64765755As anon writes, I believe it is primarily done to make ejection more reliable.>>64765921As anon here mentions though, it probably does not change the durability of the slide. I cant speak for all 1911s but Colt makes the slide out of a pretty thick piece steel. Slide cracking was an issue on CZ-52 and TT-33 but that was mostly due to poor metallurgy and manufacturing and overall design. Even then most TT-33 pistols will last probably 8-10k before this happens.Newly produced 1911 will definitely be more durable anyway due to improvements in metallurgy and manufacturing.I like to check the recoil spring strength on surplus pistols and replace them if needed and not using too much +P ammo.The recoil spring part is important as that is the part that minimises the impact of the slide slamming into the frame of the gun when firing. Weak spring could cause the slide to crack eventually.
Slides were not hardened the same way back in the day. A flared ejection port will have ZERO effect on longevity now. The frame is way more likely to crack near the safety/slide stop plunger.

>>64766263He's married to what seems to be a girlboss leftist lady. I'm surprised he remained in the firearm industry after she drove a wedge between him and the company he founded. He made the mistake of onboarding his wife to his company and the obvious happened. That being said, I respect Lucas a hell of a lot more than most in the firearms industry who keep silent about Israel and our ZOGged ass political system and foreign policy.

Guy on gun trader has a stock KR9 asking for $1900, what are the likely chances that KUSA comes back and starts making them again? Or should I jump on the deal?
>>64766907Used to shoot my AKs every weekend but currently recovering from a pretty serious workplace injury. I’ll try and go tomorrow if I can get transport because I undergo surgery on Monday and after that probably won’t be shooting any real guns for about a month or two.
>>64767798what the hell happened to you that you need surgery?
>>64767887I’m a heavy equipment mechanic, got drug underneath the rear deck of bushhog in a freak accident at work, fucked up my whole left upper body, partially collapsed my lung. Already got my ribs and arm fixed but the collarbone isn’t healing properly so have to get outpatient surgery for it. I’m just glad I’m alive. Also thank god for workers comp. Moral of the story don’t trust retards from another department, don’t be retarded, and if you work in a risky career make sure they have good medical benefits.

There's no real need to rehash why mechs don't work but what is the ideal jungle support vehicle then?
>>64765513I had to work with Sora a bit to get the same idea, I can't find the fan book about the Chi-Town/Old Chicago bike/car scene in Rifts earth. This is close enough, Glitterboy/Motorcycle troopers. There was a whole spec sheet and shit I wish I could find a copy.
>>64766659Maybe it's a greek thing?
>>64754746The Indonesian p8 light tank
>>64766650>the difference between primary and secondary jungleWell, I certainly can't speak for any US tankers, but this American wasn't even aware of such a distinction, so I'll concede the point.
>>64766125The real answer is robot/cyborg horses, the only reason we stopped using them is they're not bulletproof enough for their size. That can, in theory, be fixed.>But also these three jungle images posted so far look very traversableIt's hard to capture on a camera due to the optics. I live in a temperate rainforest biome up north so literally as sparse as a rainforest can be and I promise if you ever visit one in person you will immediately see the problem with trying to move THROUGH one.

>>64767608During most of its life the StuG wasn't used for that.
>>64765594Y'know, if we would bring back integrated platoons or companies, like armored cav did back in the day, there would always be plenty of crunchies hanging around to help with some of the manual labor...
>>64767718Okay, but the original reference to the StuG was to assault guns. Just because it spent much of the war as a ghetto tank destroyer doesn't negate the fact that it was conceived and built as an assault gun. Nor does it negate the fact that the StuG is probably one of, if not the, most recognizable and iconic assault gun.
