It’s wild to think of zoomers eventually being middle aged men with wrinkles and beards. It’ll be much worse for women
The dragon is the size of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you can do a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk and junk.
>>64746238A reasonably old DND dragon isn't viable because you have no way to make him give a shit about your objectives and worse, if he really did care he'd just take over your country and win your war by teleporting demons into your enemy's leader's bathrooms.

>>64727248>1300's-1400'sIt would be a YUGE factor. In our timeline, gunpowder was discovered by alchemists searching for an elixir of eternal life. In this timeline, gunpowder is invented specifically to kill dragons. Black Powder would be a game-changer and Smokeless Powder can be made as early as the 1500's if there is enough incentive and people working to discover it. The various ingredients to make gunpowder were known to Classical civilizations, it's just no one had the depth of knowledge or incentive to create it. Dragons change that. I'd wager we'd have gunpowder weapons sooner than in our current timeline. Armies would be smaller in number, lighter, and more elite units, as soldiers would have to be VERY well-drilled to handle dragon attacks.>Missile infantryUsed to distract or possibly even get a lucky kill and to harass/suppress enemy infantry>Pikemen/SpearmenUsed to protect Combat Engineers and a last ditch anti-dragon formation. The sarissa is the primary anti-dragon infantry weapon.>Combat EngineerA cross between Missile and Skirmisher infantry; well trained at crewing animal-drawn weapons like Catapults, Ballista, Trebuchet, and other artillery weapons. Later, they get cannons. Able to also engage in siege works, build camps, and even conduct engineering operations for the marching army.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>64747377It gets wilder. >EducationYou can't afford to have an uneducated populace, as you need a sizeable portion of your population to be smart enough to increase the pool of recruits for your engineering corps. Knowledge would be a powerful tool for building dragon-proof fortresses, anti-dragon armor/weapons, mechanics for engineering, alchemy; the list goes on. Literacy would be higher overall, in this timeline, because it would be necessary for survival. In the event that a dragon torches your city, you'd need everyone to be smart enough to help rebuild, or at least capable of following written instructions and institutional knowledge. Libraries would be even more valuable than they were in the ancient past, with a book on geometry or construction being worth its weight in gold.Dragons would be an evolutionary pressure for mankind, as we would no longer be apex predators but one rung down on the food chain. It's only due to dragons not seeing most humans as a territorial threat but simply another edible thing in their world, that we are able to co-exist with them at all. >LegitimacyA ruler without the ability to control dragons is at best, just a warlord. If a dragon begins causing trouble, they're fucked. A dragon-blood king on the other hand could simply walk up and tame the beast. A practical version of "divine right". >Religion and GovernmentDragons form a universal yin/yang concept across mankind. Able to wreak havoc or create a time of plenty. With a dragon, you can institute whatever kind of government/social structure you want. With a large royal family of dragon riders, you can conquer nations. Dragon Feudalism would be the standard government structure, with Monarchies, Republics, Tyrannies, Patron-Alliances, and Free-Holds/Cities, and Marches everywhere. Comment too long.

Sp101 or gp100 for my first wheel gun? I'd like to be able to just pocket carry which is why was leaning toward the sp101 but the big fuck off look of a gp 100 is pretty tempting.
>>64747234The SP is just a little too big for pocket carry for most, I'd prioritize a LCR or 442 in that case. For high round counts at the range and OWB in the field, you can't beat the GP
>>64747265Nah, I pocket carry my DAO SP101. It's in my pocket right now. Just get a decent pocket holster and you're good. I like my Alabama Holster Ambi Pocket. SP101 is a great do it all revolver. Small enough to easily conceal and heavy enough to enjoy shooting at the range. That being said, GP100 is a really nice range gun. I wouldn't bother even trying to conceal carry it though.
>>64747234Funny seeing someone else ask the same question I did the last thread. I'm quite happy with the Security Six I found just need to get a holster and some speed loaders. Not a whole lot of options of IWB carry but whatever.
My dad handed off his collection to me a few months back, and I added it to my own. This is just the wheelguns. The Italian black powders haven't been fired in like 30 years. The Colt Navy clone is jammed. The Remington clone is functional but has 5 old loaded balls. Best way to get them back in order? Soak them in oil and drill and yank out the old shots? I really don't want to go in from the cap end. Honestly, a cartridge conversion would be my happy place.Also, probably need to get handloading the Mk VI Webleys. He never used anything but standard .45 ACP when I was a kid, and it worked great except he blew a barrel about 10 years ago. My really nice one is in the holster. I haven't used new ammo on it, but she is shaved just like his old one.Also need new grips on the old .38 Special police revolver. Replacements? Wood? Resin repair? What do you guys think would work best? Also got another couple .32 shorts I need to repair that are near identical to the Iver Johnson and the HR in the top shelf. Grips are the main problem, other than the nickel coating shedding. Mechanically, they seem to be solid.Just looking to get all the old girls running again. Things were so much simpler with my old IJ .22 and my Rhino.

>>64747288Wait, so you want Power armor to just be another armored vehicle? Why not just make another AFV? At least then you don't have to worry about being knocked over from recoil.
>>64747288>Make the suit biggeryeah, let's make the suit bigger, more armored, more capa... ah shit we have an AFV. Heat engines don't scale down well, turbines are awful at scaling down due to the importance of tolerances in their operation.
>>64747404The Fallout 4 power armor really is in the sweet spot.>Small enough it can still fit in (purpose built) APCs/helis>Large enough to carry a meaningful amount of armor/weapons that would not be practical without power armorThe fact it's basically just a frame you can slap whatever modular parts on is a good idea too.

It simply isn't seeing mass adoption because of ridiculous levels of corruption and cronyism.>>64747395>Wait, so you want Power armor to just be another armored vehicle?Conceptually, that's what all powered exoskeletons are, just in a smaller form factor. A suit standing between 76-84 inches would still be significantly more compact than a wiesel while needing only one operator and being able to carry fairly heavy weapons.>>64747404>Heat engines don't scale down wellAnd yet somehow motorcycles and mopeds still exist.
>>64747430>And yet somehow motorcycles and mopeds still exist.Those engines weigh anywhere from as much as a small asian woman to as much as a lanky sunstarved software developer, and their power-to-weight ratios suck. That's without even factoring in the alternator you need into the weight. If it were as easy as shoving a motorcycle engine into a backpack someone would've done it already you tard.
What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
>>64746392You guys really think you're going to war with the US don't you?
I really don't understand this because that amount of ammunition in OP is never going to be enough.You'd need so much for it to be a pragmatic amount in an apocalyptic scenario that you should really probably just commit to a single kind of ammunition and tailor your guns around that round instead of trying to just get some ammo for a bunch of different calibers.
>>64746392I break my preps into categories>Water. Water is life. Store as much as you have the space for. FEMA guidelines are 1 gallon of water per person per day. I've got a couple of hundred gallons stored inside the house and up to another 1000 in a tank outside depending on recent weather. Even in an apartment you should be able to find space for two weeks of water.Alongside your stored water have a means of purifying more. Boiling is an option but slow and energy dependent. Unscented bleach is an effective treatment option against bacteria and viruses but has a shelf-life of 6-12 months, powdered calcium hypochlorite (pool shock) is equally effective and lasts for a couple of years depending on how it's stored (both are ineffective against cryptosporidium). Water purification chemicals for camping (aquamira, micropur, iodine) have a longer shelf-life and depending on the chemical may work on crypto but are more expensive. Camping store water filters (e.g. Sawyer Squeeze) are convenient but most won't do anything against viruses. UV purification using either a Steripen or the SODIS method (pic rel) are arguably the best options.>FoodIf you can just buy in bulk what you normally eat day to day then that's the cheapest and most convenient option, but it's dependent on you eating a lot of shelf-stable foods like rice, pasta, oats, etc. If not, then you'll have to buy a few long-lasting foods to keep in the back of your pantry. MREs and dehydrated camping meals are great if you're going to be on the move but unnecessarily expensive if sheltering in place. >ShelterHow do you plan to heat or light your home?>SecurityGuns obviously but also shit like reinforcing exterior doors or security film over the windows>Medical>Comms and informationGet a Baofeng radio, print some local maps off, etcComment too long.

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.
>>64743505GT used to carry ball because that's what he trained with, and I guess he thought JHP maybe hitting half an inch from where his dot is zeroed just isn't worth it. Regardless, he fucks troons so there's clearly something wrong with his judgement.

>>64731902Suppressed pistols are pointless. Too big to store, too small to be effective. You can't holster them so you need a lanyard and at that point you might at well have a stock.
How effective are these guys? They look well equipped and their training is supposed to be quite good.
with this in mind how would you outfit the army for the next one?. urban warfare is essentially solved but in an improvised manner how do you scale this?
>>64713687Oh really? Was that ever a threat? That says a lot about the weakness of the Jewish people, they have enemies other than Bedouins without logistics to manage

theres too many to name but just plain 1911 if talking about semi auto pistols is one of them, dont know really why? it just feels like real gun in hand and also soft recoil
>>64746538Hard to name one like anon said, so many are fun for so many reasonsBut this is the one I most look forward to shooting
Bought it as a meme, now it's my daily carry. Most of the problems with jamming come from using the wrong ammo and not cleaning your gun very often. The ol diggle rarely jams on me.

>>64717812roger.
nah, future is drone warfare, everyone is just flying drones and theres gonna be flyers and catchers with extended lacrosse bats trying to catch drones
>>64744383>Tanegashima use cheek for contact and not shoulder because of that exact issue.wrong on several counts. for 1, helmets were not the issue that necessitated a cheek weld nor is a cuirass, its largely the massive pauldrons (which modern armor does not have) that get in the way of a traditional stock. More relevant though is 2, Japanese muskets simply had not progressed at all from the original Portuguese designs they were copying, as such they were stuck with an obsolete design. At the time that was the only way the japs knew to sight a rifle, basically by holding it right under your eye. and for 3, "cheek" arquebus /muskets were essentially a civilian hunting design by the 17th century, only suitable for lightweight and light recoiling guns. A western musket intended for battlefield combat are much heavier (both in general weight and in caliber). You simply cannot adequately shoot a full power war musket with a cheek weld. it'd be like taking the stock off an M14 and trying to hold it to your cheek.For 4 what the fuck are you talking about magnets for. Modern armor isn't magnetic and I doubt super duper space armor in the future would be either. If you did have excessively bulky armor (say like the OG interceptor body armor) that did actually cover your shoulder pocket, then you can simply add an angled buttstock w/ a rubber pad to your gun.
>>64745623>civilian hunting design by the 17th century, only suitable for lightweight and light recoiling gunsJust a heads up, Japan basically didn't fight anybody for the 1600s and 1700s. Firearm development was basically banned.
>>64739850Because you need to feed 1 million Russians. Don't feel your peeps and they die or desert. Sure, some will die in combat but if you lose most of your army before you need to feed them you're losing that war.
