>>64697586>I think the reason they want the "unobtanium" from Pandora is they can use it for better spacecraft.Yeah it's a room temp superconductor and somewhere in one of the screenplays or notes or something it says it's used to build superconducting magnets that contain antimatter for the ship engines. The first ones they sent out had to use liquid helium cooled magnets and were much bigger and bulkier. It's also mentioned somewhere that the company owns and operates a planetwide maglev transit network on Earth that makes use of it. I don't know why they don't just drop a few lines of dialogue outlining this stuff for viewers instead of leaving it scribbled in the margins of a script or notebook somewhere.

A dragon has claimed your city and is snatching up citizens to be part of its treasure hordeHow would you, an ordinary citizen, take it out with only the weapons available to you? It has tough scales, can fly, spew fire, and is large enough to swallow a person whole. What can you do with the weapons and ordinance of a single civilian to kill it?

Why isn't the 5.56 RDB more popular? I shot one at the range today as it was extremely pleasant to shoot. Nice trigger and adjustable gas system
>>64694215>the ejection system isn't finnicky. it's an AR-18. It just goes down.>Saying it's "finnicky" just means you've never looked inside one.Ejecting behind the magazines is a finicky solution. It requires the bolt to travel all the way back. If it doesn't quite go all the way back the case wont be ejected but a new one will still be stripped from the magazine.
>>64692845>The downwards ejection likes to shove hot brass down your shirt or pockets.I would have to assume they make something like picrel for the RDB, this was the best accessory money I spent on my KSG

Just get one of these

>>64697356You're trying extremely hard to put words in my mouth and then argue against them. Are these strawmen in the room with you right now? The tabletop rules are what's canon, because they're not subject to powerwankery (primarily from space marine authors) with varying levels of individual autist-narcissism, because the armies HAVE to be mechanically balanced against all the other factions. There is a natural regulator in the rules development that prevents one autist on the dev team from declaring his faction as the coolest and is better than everything else. 3rd edition rules are the peak and best, but whatever the rules are currently, that's the actual power level everything is, relative to each other. Space Marines aren't walking tanks. Dreadnoughts are. Terminators have the armor that everyone *thinks* standard marines have, and even then they're still not walking tanks. And all the insane bullshit that people apply to marines, like Jedi levels of perception and whatever, only Primarchs could possibly possess that amount of ability. And even then, nah. The fuckin God Emperor couldn't do half the bullshit that are attributed to standard marines in some of the books.
>>64692724>>64697623accatran is OP you just level it at head height and sweep across the enemy horde
>>64690590>>64692047Guardsmen have krak grenades, vehicles with heavy bolters and multi lasers in mechanized units, and may or may not have mortars, heavy weapons teams with heavy stubbers (M2 machine guns, apparently) and rocket launchersThe tabletop rules are there to make shit simple but in the lore they have at least WW2 levels of integral combined arms. The main exception is that you don't see a SAW equivalent in guardsman squads, but 10 guardsmen with lasguns probably mog the firepower of a modern day rifle squad quite substantially.

>>64696645it has always bothered me how the Tornado isn't a true multirole aircraft and you had to order a model specifically for the role in need
Amazing thread OP thanks
>>64695544Not true at all, there were many contemporary gliders during the Wright Brothers time, they were mainly large kites. The brotheres were actually in contact with one of the more successful designers. It was powered flight that the Wright brothers pioneered, as before them no one had an engine light enough to put on a glider of the time. They also invented the controls that made the aircraft steerable, rather than just a kite in the wind.
very cool anon, thank you.
>>64696204>>64696235Is it true that this was supposedly an excellent fighter on par with other fighters at the time
I'm a brainlet when it comes to acoustics, but are there reasons other than price/difficulty as to why a monolithic suppressor made of sintered titanium or stainless steel wouldn't work ? Think of acoustic foam with insane weight to structural strength.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2AM9x80nA&t=63s
>>64697605>Some cans are close to what you are talking about, they are filled with nothing but scrap metal shavings. For a long time, one of the best .22 Ruger cans on the market was filled with what looked like shoe grommets. Just a ported barrel, an outer tube that matched the profile of the original heavy barrel, then a bunch of brass grommets.
Acoustic foam works by scattering the sound waves in all directions, thereby diffusing it. Suppressors work by redirecting and sequestering the noise into little compartments. Metal foam topology would likely impede this redirection, I think, and I don't think the bonus of diffusing the sound would make up for it.
>>64697430Sounds kind of like a glasspack muffler for motorcycles
>>64697430Use this as a wipe, it might work for flash instead of sound. The mesh will catch unburnt powder and act as a heat sink
>>64697612>Acoustic foam works by scattering the sound waves in all directions, thereby diffusing itUsually this type of treatment is used for absorption. The sound enters the material and gets turned into vibration and heat. You'll also get diffusion for the waves that don't get absorbed, but that's a secondary effect.
What's the minimum standard to train to if you are going to carry? I am not talking SOF, I am not talking some mercenary company standards. Just something that a person can't do after 50 rounds, but 100% of people can do after 3-6 months. Think 2 plate bench / 3 plate deadlift.I am guessing it's 2 rounds on target from rest or holster in x time. What's that x?What's the best way to train for it?
>>64697540>>64697534Thanks anon, I am really looking for something super retarded to use as a standard.Like 2 shots in 2 seconds from low ready within a 3 inch group at 15 yards, or something SUPER basic. I don't know what that standard should be.Also, I find target transitions on the same target to be useless. Better than nothing, sure, but much nicer to have a couple targets outside or a steel tree. Though I likely won't have time to go to an outdoor range anymore.And also need a good timer recommendation, like the glock/honda civic of shot timers with a random start beep component.
>>64697471I have nothing to base this on other than feels, but I think a 2 second draw and 3 accurate hits in 3 seconds at 7 yards is a pretty achievable standard for carry without expecting too much. A two second draw means you have at least gotten consistent with your grip and know how to draw without snagging on everything, and one shot every .5 seconds shows that you have acceptable trigger control and probably won't be pulling shots into the dirt if you get attacked. Realistically, even that's probably beyond the point of diminishing returns for carry, but if a person is going to carry a gun, they should at least put some goddamn effort into it.
>>64697471Get a mantis or similar dry fire system. Everyday before you got to work practice drawing, dry firing, and holstering your gun 5 times. As you get faster and smother, reduce the size of the target. If you have to shoot someone for real, you'll be doing a bill drill or similar. You'll have to shoot outside every once in a while to validate your dry firing.You should also carry a dagger on your non dominant side so you can create space to draw your pistol. You need to practice drawing your knife, creating space, then transitioning to your pistol. Go into the eye if you can. Congratulations, you're better trained than 99% of people you will encounter. It will cost you about 15 mins a day.
>>64697471Take a concealed carry course, goddamn you kids really don't have a hundred bucks? Courses are very cheap and you can learn from people with more experience, not retards on the internet or trying to figure it out your retarded self. Sorry you decided to be a gay faggy unsworn so you only have access to civilian training, you'll just have to figure out what training schools are good.
Fist size group at 25, time doesn't matter. Practice draws until you can do it with eyes closed while wearing different pants and jackets/no jacket.Run

I am very curious to know what /k/ would use in the zombiepocalypse. What would actually be best? I always thought that the writers for the show had a lot of missed opportunities for /k/ino guns, gear, armor and weapon concepts both from history and modern times they could have applied to the show. A lot of stuff just felt like it was missing. Every time there was an actually big faction it seemed like they didn't equip their grunts with the most effective choices. Keep in mind, it would still have to be things that you can continue to use well into the future. There is no military supply chain in the zombie apocalypse unless you are with an utterly gigantic group of survivors.
>>64693730>TWDTotal Walker Death?
>>64697757Bayonets would work in a pinch but they are not nearly as useful against zombies as they are against people amd horses because they lack reachA full on pike phalanx is simply untouchable because the zombies can't get through the pikes to reach the delicious humans beyond whereas a bayonet leaves you practically within biting distance
>>64695319You have to consider the skills and materials available in such a scenarioFull plate is bespoke and cannot be produced by anything less than a specialised expert in the field (simpler armour designs like curiasses and chain mail are more doable) and require large amounts of high quality steel. A new model style army on the other hand has the bulk of its metal in gun barrels and pike tips, which are both easier to make and less material intensive.Remember that we are fighting an enemy whose primary tactic is mass, and we are doing it without the benefit of a modern defence industrial base behind us so our best tactic is likewise to mass as many soldiers as we can and have them fight as efficiently as possible
Two full sized handguns that have commercially available 30rd magazines and can accept lasers. Get good at eyeballing when your laser is on a shambler's head and pop them, 60~ rounds at disposal, suppressible, subsonic an option, can have one hand free and other completely capable of combat. 9mm or 5.7 if you're swanky.For 'armor' motorcycle gear can cover full body and offer flexibly, light enough certainty against bite or scratch. But thick denim also is probably fine.For a base, prefer a wooded area, something at the top of a steep slope maybe that leads down to a creak. Even if it's not drinkable water all the time just having water has a lot of other applications. Construct a 'maze' of sorts by using fence wire around tree trunks with only one actual zig-zag way in that you know, and otherwise hinders zombie movement without being obvious. Have an implement that brains them when they get tangled/tripped.
