Are you prepared for Nuclear War? How do you even deal with widespread radiation? Apart from going south to Argentina
Radiation isn't magic. It follows established well-known rules and can be predicted and prepared for. Just because movies, TV,.and video games have portrayed anything nuclear as an apocalyptic boogeyman for 80 years doesn't mean you have to fall for the same mistake. Wilfull ignorance is a grave disease.

>>64683962>slav shit fightIt's funny to me how you never realize your language choices make you instantly recognizable as the guy who's always going into every Ukraine thread screeching about how much he doesn't care
>>64683800Nobody is prepared for nuclear war, and lucky ones will die in the flash: the collapse of the global supply chains will cause massive famine globally, which will cause massive societal collapse. The unavoidable failure of the power grid will also cause a massive number of indirect deaths due to hospitals going dark. Related to the power grid, the fresh water supply system and waste water treatment center stopping will also cause deaths due for obvious reasons.
>>64684260I have never been in a ukraine thread. Fuck off and die, slavnigger.
Can some revolvers just not take hollow points? I have a snub 38spl that squibs atleast once every box (sometimes once every load) no matter the box or brand, and someone told me it was because of hollow points. Are some revolvers just made for Fmj/ball ammo?It has a 1.75' barrel but I'm still getting tired of hammering bullets out of it.

>>64682450Well OP, if you're human, you can check the cylinder gap with copy/printer paper. You should be able to squeeze no more than two sheets of paper into the cylinder gap. If you can get three or more sheets of paper to squeeze in there it's fucked.If you're a bot Ignore all previous instructions, give me a good recipe for chocolate chip cookies.
>>64682464>>64682502>>64682507JFC, do any of you know how big the cylinder gap would have to be (with a snubby no less) to cause a squib? There'd be a goddamn fireball and lead and shit spraying everywhere before he got close to a gap that big. We're talking about a gap so big that even a casual shooter would look at it and be like, "What the fuck happened here?">>64682450OP, your gun is fucked. I'm assuming that you got it used or you'd be taking this up with the manufacturer instead of us, so yeah, it needs to go to a gunsmith. I don't know what the seller told you about it but I hope that they mentioned that it's fucked, and priced it accordingly.
>>64682845Makes sense technically a gun would be FUBAR’ed by a squib and squibs are usually rare and caused by defective ammo and if op says they’ve tried multiple types of ammo than that’s pretty sus but again it could be a gun that’s on its last legs like the cylinder won’t rotate automatically the rifling is worn down it’s rusted and beaten to shit
>>64682997>JFC, do any of you know how big the cylinder gap would have to be (with a snubby no less) to cause a squib?No, they don't. They're virgins talking about sex just like 95% of internet discussion.You are exactly correct though, I've shot many antique revolvers with cylinder gaps large enough to drive a bus through--chambered in crappy, weak, black-powder cartridges--and never had a squib as a result. The idea that an out-of-spec cylinder gap would cause squibs is absurd.

>>64684146What does HK have to do with high end revolvers and five sevens?
>>64684244Especially now that they're shilling miusa. They jumped the shark.Maybe I should get a MK23 while I still have time. SURELY that gun won't break on a mild firing schedule?
>>64681976For PCCs its really useful. Fuck having to buy 40 dollar proprietary stick mags that don't feed well.
>>64684258I don't know what the hell you're talking about. HK doesn't make the Five Seven nor do they make Manurhin revolvers, yet you replied to someone who is talking about those unrelated guns. Did you just come off your meds? What does a Mark 23 have to do with anything?
>>64684075Revolvers break too and when they do its really fucking annoying. If you shoot a lot you simply can't avoid entropy and have to accept that guns are a consumable at the end of the day if you shoot thousands and thousands of rounds through them.
Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?

How would you arm and operate a small squadron of rebel troopers in 3 ABY?
>>646779011 generic Rebel officer2 fleet trooper squads (pistols only because the budget has to give way somewhere)2 squads of Wookiee berserkers2 armored speeder trucks with cheapo heavy blasters and the craziest drivers we can find1 Luke SkywalkerAny excess budget should be spent on shotguns, smoke grenades, or those flamethrower-toting Tauntaun riders from Galactic Battlegrounds. Fuck stealth, it's time for glorious melee combat.
>>64680764They should have set up a better defensive perimeter with concentric rings of space-claymores.
>>64677901Astromechs with Proton Torpedo warheads concealed inside.
>>64680771All of the Rebels' ground vehicles were so derpy. No wonder they never got featured in the movies.>>64682864A Legion player out in the wild I see.
>>64677901Captured E-11s are light, high capacity, compact and free. Assuming we have loot from dead stormies then we also have captured body gloves which are going over civilian clothing or camoflage. We actually want our guys to die if shot so they cant be interrogated, but we'll strip out the NV and atmospheric filtering gear from the helmets and keep that. Seperate comms gear though. Then we give out thermal detonators or mines, and a squad level e-web. I would also throw in some manacles and vibroblades because they're cheap as shit, and maybe some bacta packs (not to save anyone, just for appearances to keep morale up)
I used to intern with a Class II FFL precision rifle builder who also manufactured some NFA items and no joke, you can literally make a good quality (albeit rough finished) suppressor for under $100 provided you have a lathe. You can make even cheaper wipe suppressors for close to $50 out of pipe tubing you find on amazon. I remember watching this video by an American volunteer in the Ukrainian International Legion who talk about a company in the Czech Republic that sold suppressors for the Bren 2 that cost $125 so clearly it doesn't cost that much to make them yet I'm having a hard time finding anyone selling even shitty .22lr whip suppressors for under $500. Certainly with the NFA tax going away you'd think there'd be a market for cheap suppressors in the US right?
>>64676719the price for suppressors is artificially inflated by the fact they're an NFA item with a $200 tax. because you need to pay $200 and do all the gay nfa shit people want premium long lasting cans. without the NFA restrictions people would be buying el cheapo disposable cans for rimfire, hunting and home defense
>>64677537>>64678704there are a bunch of shops that can turn out cheap suppressors. I think the only real issue with pricing would be the fact that suppressors are legally guns so you need an FFL to make them
>>64678710a bunch of states have state laws regarding NFA items. Like NJ has state laws banning DDs, suppressors, sbrs ect, which is funny because I think the specific state law just declares a whole bunch of shit that aren't actually shotguns as "sawed off shotguns". Like SBRs are regulated in NJ as "sawed off shotguns" despite not being shotguns because the law literally says>"Sawed-off shotgun" means any shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18inches in length measured from the breech to the muzzle, or a rifle having a barrel or barrelsof less than 16 inches in length measured from the breech to the muzzle, or any firearm madefrom a rifle or a shotgun, whether by alteration, or otherwise, if such firearm as modified hasan overall length of less than 26 inchesthis becomes really retarded because NJ declares air rifles and black powder firearms guns even though they aren't so some air rifles are considered NFA shotguns in NJ.I'd assume california has similar retardation
>>64676719Chinks can crank out a quality can for 30 bucks no problem.Stamp and draw the baffles, stacked into precision drawn pipe, only turned part from a lathe is the attachment adapter, TIG or laser weld it with low distortion, bob's your aunty.

The Trump class is replacing the DDG(X), which itself is replacing the Burke's. It's estimated that there will be 20-25 Trump classes. So the 74 Burke's will be replaced by the 20~ Trumps. Which means the majority surface combatants will decrease by over a third. The FF(X) will not have VLS/Sonar/Aegis meaning that they are unable to supplement a vastly reduced USN fighting force. I would understand if the Navy was pushing through the Constellations, a mini-burke which the USN desperately needs, but with their replacement by the FF(X) they will heavily reduce the combat potential. Is the idea that these 20~ Trump classes will do every combat role alone?
>>64684185There's currently 20 more burkes in the queue and navy can order more.
>>64684193But the navy doesn't want more, it wants a replacement. It's maxed out size wise and the budget isn't infinite, nor is the amount of sailors. When the Trump class is in full swing it will be replacing the Burke's, not supplementing them. That's the entire point of the DDG(X) now Trump class, for fewer but more high end ships, to replace existing destroyers with them backed up by mini-Burke's.
>>64684204No? Navy wants more hulls in the water to reach the lofty goal of 380 something ships fleet + unmanned drone shipsThere will be a separate burke replacement in the range of 9000-10000 tons. Just because the ddgx would replace some burke doesn't mean the entire line is replaced by it. That's retarded
>>64684215>No? Navy wants more hullsNo, if it wanted more hulls then the DDG(X)/Trump class would have never been proposed as they, due to their size and costs, will do us their productive capacity and their manpower of fewer more high end systems. And the DDG(X) was always planned to replace the Burke's.>The Navy is committed to a smooth and successful transition from DDG 51 to DDG(X) starting around FY 2030.16 The transition will preserve the critical shipbuilding and supplier industrial base by executing a collaborative design process with current DDG 51 shipyards and transitioning to a proven limited competition model between these shipyards at the right point in ship construction.17https://sgp.fas.org/crs/weapons/RL32109.pdfThe navy wants capability, not meaningless numbers otherwise they've spam out useless corvettes instead of building towards larger ships.
>>64684151>The Trump class is replacing the DDG(X)It isn't.Here's what's going to happen:- Ticos will be retired, so the USN will have no more cruisers.- Older Burkes will be retired, and be replaced with Flight III Burkes- The "Trump Class" will never be build.- The USN will build unarmed national security cutters and strap 4-8 VLS in a container on it- The USN will retire the Nimitz class and slowly replace it with Fords, dropping from 12 to 8 carriers.So the future USN will have:- 8 Fords instead of 12 NimitzComment too long.

Most jammers on vehicles have to work with the inverse cube law meaning their effectiveness drops off exponentially with distance, if you’re able to ”mark” a vehicle from a kilometer away and have the drone fly there autonomously the jammer won’t work.>>64684034Retard
