Good or bad idea? Got really into the modern minute man concept last year and built a rifle around it. >18" Barrel>69gr match points (reloading my own)>1-8x LPVO Great for the range and a lot of fun to shoot at paper with, but when I went to LARP with it, it wasn't what I hoped it to be. A hair below 8lbs fully loaded and long enough to catch on stuff, I realized what I thought and what I wanted were two different things. Now, with SBRs (and Suppressors) having free tax stamps I can do different things. Shortening the barrel as much as possible to save on weight, make it handier, and save space for a can seems the way to go. 300AAC also preforms best in 10" barrels. I also realized min-maxing for targets out to 600yds was kind of stupid too, as it's a bit excessive in the dense areas I play pretend. The shorter effective range a heavier, slower 30 cal projectile would be fine, as well as a non-magnifed/fixed magnification optic to lighten my load. Would 300AAC be the round for fantasies well I stomp around in the local national forest? I'm also interested in not having to get new mags, I acquired the loading dies in an estate sale, and I do like how well it lends itself to suppression.
>>64706616>>64706990They have been forever. The last "cheap" SKSs were back in like 2019 when we got a bunch of Norinco ones. Even then they were still like $300 and a poverty pony was only slightly more. The good times were a long time ago. Anyone who was under 18 in 2020, sadly, a good portion of this board, missed out completely.
>>64706286>7.62x39 but ARI'd wager .300 Ham'r has more claim on that than Blackout. Fags focused too much on subsonic SBRs.
>>64707056yeah i mean you could get an SKS and 1000 rounds of ammo for under 100 bucks in the 90's. An SKS for under 500 dollars, regardless of country of origin, is kinda rare right now.
My favorite rifle right now is a 300 blk PSA ar. Built as a woods gun with a primary arms slx non-micro gen III with ACSS. I use 157-150 grain supersonics. Nicer recoil impulse than 5.56, and way less concussion just making it more enjoyable to shoot.

>Rapechink got the Qing thread deletedUh oh, his Japanese grandfather wouldn't like it!
>>64707441Using these ships would make it way easier for the US to win a war against China since it would give them a justification to completely shut out Chinese shipping instead of doing the "okay, you can buy food and fuel but not guns and ammo" shit they usually do.
>>64707319I don't hate the idea of them being used in extreme proximity to China's coastline to project an A2AD/ASW umbrella relatively cheaply. The PLAN & PLANAAF will have to move to open Malacca, and they'll have to do it in strength because it's too far away to be supported by most of the PLARF's inventory.On second thought, the PLARF and PLAAF should have no problems handling A2/AD and ASW operations within 200mi of their own coast. So these ships only make sense if for some inexplicable reason TEL manufacturing is your bottleneck but you have no problem cranking out missiles, UASs, and VLS cells. But in that case, why wouldn't you emplace a shitload of them in a distributed bunker network? It's not like they're fast enough to keep up with the fleet or out-maneuver threats, and a PLARF bunker network would be more survivable than concentrating the cells onto a civilian hull.
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.

>>64708366Are the delivery vessels military ones with escort? I would think lighter stuff could be flown in.
>>64708382it really is weird, you'd expect the people with the biggest genocidal hatred towards kikes to at least make sure they check themselves and make sure they actually do a good job, instead they chesthump about a few burnt down buildings and minimal casualties, it's bizarre. never have i seen a a mindset so completely out of tune with it's populations actual desires.>we want TJD>a-actually losing way more than they did is good enoughthese sandnigs sadly aint got the grit to look themselves in the mirror honestly.
>>64708390Looks like US military exports are handled by the DCSA with one of the main delivery methods being the General Frank S Besson class of ships if it's the army doing stuff or the Bob Hope/Watson/Gordon/Shughart classes if it's Navy Sealift Command. In any case attempting to board them means you are attempting to board a US military vessel not a random contracted Ro/Ro
>>64708314Well yes but Xi's CCP has been purged of any opposition and all of Hu's associates or literally anyone who isn't willing to publicly declare Xi a literal God. Xi IS the CCP and all of the economic, military and cultural fuckups are all basically Xi's direct decisions. If China had just continued with Deng's policies of being an economic superpower that didn't need a big military or bother bullying their neighbors then China would have genuinely been on track to replace or ribal America. Instead Xi made China into the world's bad guy and declared open hostility with literally everyone because CHINA STRONK! Now China is in an economic toilet flush, their military is an embarrassment and everyone has caught on to China's real intentions.
>>64708511Ironically very true. Even assuming trade wars and export controls from 2018 to today, a Li China would've been with still much more healthy economically and with double the leverage on the West, with the same CCP view of global hegemony by 2049 just hiding under the bide your time veneer. Xi saved the wect by chimping out in 2015 and going all in on the military lol.
The ultimate sci-fi rifle. Bullpup and helical mag.
>>64708360So just a VHS with a magpul D60 and a UBS-12? I mean I fuck with it hard, I'm 2/3rds to being there but it's not peak 'pup
>>64708360I prefer the ISA rifle, more accurate
>>64708360Is it a helical "mag" or more like a belt box? I remember there was a LMG-like feed tray you need to open to reload it, and I suppose one way to make a reliable helical mag would be to just... not make it a mag at all, but a cylindrical belt box.Also, for me, it's the OG KZ1 version with the rectangular silhouette and uncomfortably low integrated optic.

Was Flak useless or just a bad choose against bombers? The window to shoot them was tiny and the fragmentation radius was too small, it need almost a direct hit with time or proximity fuse.It only make sense when you don't have fuel and aluminium for your interceptor planes.
