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.
>>64727248Depends a lot on how tough the dragons scales are, if it can take pistol rounds it rules the skies of early WW1, if it can take rifle rounds it rules until the interwar period.As for the ground attack role it would probably get fucked by late 1600s cannon, hard to hit but it would be eventually.
>>64752212>were not put into mass production because there was no need for themnope, it had not yet been invented
>>64752228what was the Baker clockwork fuzewhy are you such a faggot
>>64747813>before the author started thinking with his dick and started making his characters bend over backwards to accommodate a bunch of useless lesbians anyway.I'm thinking gender dynamics would be way more traditional in this setting than even in the ancient past. Regular dragon attacks would squash any notions of equality across generations. Women can empathize with dragons but can't control them like men can, with dragons being more prone to bond with women but be overly protective; like a big angry chihuahua. Eventually they just kidnap the woman once they form a really strong bond, just like in the older myths. It's only through men that dragons can be kept in check (or put down). If you combine this with a dragon's (or dragon king's) inclination to burn your city down, then women would be valued for giving birth, as the losses from wars and dragon attacks would necessitate high-birth rates. A woman who hasn't had at least 4-6 kids by 25-28 is considered kind of "useless" to society as a whole. Women are expected to be mothers and nothing else but doted on and kept in luxury. Or at least as much comfort as a given suitor can provide. This would likely result in culturally universal "bride prices", where women are bought as a measure of the suitability of the potential groom. The prettier and more fertile the woman, the more a man must pay. Beauty/fertility standards would mean selective pressures emphasize thicc fertility goddesses. Skinny women work as prostitutes, weavers, and servants. Being infertile would be considered a great shame for women in this setting; akin to being cursed. A dragon-blood woman who is infertile would be the centerpiece of a nunnery and used as an informal "early warning" system for dragons, as they'd be drawn to these remote abbeys instead of cities. Yes, it's basically human sacrifice with religious trappings of purity and piety.Women in this setting would be perpetual damsels or hookers.

be me no guns in ny browsing for high power diodes at 8pmstumble upon this monstrosity "KX260 DIY Laser Cannon"claims 260 WATTS of optical powerfor reference a fucking 1W laser blinds you, and a 6W Sanwu burns wood instantlythis thing claims to be 260Wthat is literally a quarter of a microwave oven concentrated into a beam"Range: 50m" (probably the range at which it instantly ignites clothing and coons)"Battery life: 5 years" (nuclear diamond battery? or just lies?)"Fast charging" for when you need to melt a tank column at 8 AM and be home by noon.Is this actually real? The specs imply this is an industrial rust cleaning laser repacked into a handheld "cannon." If the 260W rating is even 10% legitimate, this is not a mere laser pointer, it's a war crime with a handle and possibly the most fucked up thing I can legally point at some mans eyes.Also I get ads for it on instagram 24/7. Should I buy it?
>>64754404i dunno
Good night and drunk dreams anons
>>64754404Good question. But they would be an easy tool to permanently blind optical sensors fast. I just know some retarded youths are gonna get their hands on them and blind 100s of people somewhere in Europe before they get caught. Powerful lasers are devastating and people aren't scared enough of them. I guess there's really no way to protect your eyes unless you viewed everything through a camera/screen interface
>>64754171>>64754183I'm not that anon. If I were, I would have just bought the thing...with a credit card, for my own protection. I would have also bought some protective eyewear because high powered lasers are not to be fucked around with, also for my protection.>prepaid cardNah, I like getting cash back on purchases and I feel safer making questionable purchases with someone else's money. You faggots truly are financially illiterate.
>>64754321I could see a big market for car-window shielding.
Anyone here actually use D-Lead products, or any leadremovers in general?I am currently looking at wipes, hand soap, body wash & shampoo, laundry detergent, and a lot more but theres too many to name...How many should I buy, and should I just buy all of them to be safe?I shoot a fair amount and I’m going to be shooting way more this year than I ever have, and I'm starting to wonder how paranoid I should be about lead exposure...Because I’ve heard horror stories about young dudes who shot their whole lives, never wore gloves, never washed right, ate at the range, reloaded bare-handed and endedup with fcknCANCER or straight up DEAD a few decades later from lead poisoning.>Is this a legit concern, or am I turning into a schizo?>What precautions actually matter (ventilation, washing hands, changing clothes), and what’s overkill?>I also have Pets, and I don't want them getting sick either.
>or am I turning into a schizo?Yes.General cleanliness and don't worry.
>>64754357>and don't worryThis Anon has lead brain. He is mostly happy but gets angry easily.
yes.Hygenall is best (ISML is better than EDTA, they have the patent made in conjunction with the CDC), D-lead is also good...I wear gloves when shooting, take a shower with EDTA shampoo afterwards, and wash my clothes in lead-removing EDTA detergent. I also refuse to shoot indoors and refuse to shoot unplated lead ammo. Every day I use ISML hand soap, and at the range I use ISML wipes and ISML hand soap after shooting.your health is important!lead like, literally directly reduces your IQ. It's awful stuff.
>what are you playing right now?>what are your favourite /k/ certified video games? I'll start, I've been recently playhing Read Or Not and as someone who played SWAT 4 back when it came out, I've enjoyed it so far
>>64754290Prototyping an indie wargame called "Overcommander". Turn based portion where you move around large groups of troops and resources (ammo, fuel, rations, materials, ordnance) on a hex map. Each hex can be "zoomed in" on to switch to RTS mode where you build bases and have hundreds of niggas fighting. Basically a boardgame with mini RTS battles, claim/win hexes until you finally besiege the enemy HQ hex.
Home sweet home. Also some SoC when I'm in the mood.

How come glocks frequently jam if you limp wrist them but other handguns don't? https://youtube.com/shorts/FYG4aNr-b8o
>>64715717you can absolutely limp wrist jam some other striker guns, i've done it on the range
JaredAF did a video on this as well. Basically, light frame has low inertia/ momentum, so not enough energy from the recoil to move the slide itself. Berettas also have this issue when limp-wristed, though they fail to feed when the Glock would fail to extract.Or you could get a revolver and bend your elbow to absorb the recoil. Just don't get one with engravings off the bat.
>>64717636X2Never been in real combat but I've done some fire and maneuver ranges that were real motherfuckers. You'd be shocked just how retarded you get when you're completely fucking gassed and still have to get the lead out.>>64717886I own a 17c. Never had a limpwrist failure. And I've definitely tried. Two finger firing the gun with the weakest ammo I can get my hands on and it just goes. I don't know if it's because of the porting or the slide being slightly lighter due to the cutouts but there you go.
>>64754205>bend your elbow to absorb the recoilI still don't really understand what this means. Granted, I don't have much experience with revolvers but I don't see how moving your elbow would absorb recoil.
>>64754448absorb, dampen. Twist, bend. It's a reference to a game.https://youtu.be/TIsgXnOlEM4?si=nrQo66XaIUTusiS3Point is, revolvers (usually) don't depend on recoil to cycle the weapon. A firm grip will keep it from flying out of your hand and/or into your face.
Writefag here, I’m looking for real “out there” firearms that are advanced looking but not too impractical for my sci-fi setting.
>>64754501The G11 is a shitpile that couldn't even match the M16's performance. So was the Steyr, but at least it doesn't look like ass.
>>64754501Are you specifically looking for guns that match the G11's aesthetic, it's era, ones that are novel like it is?Tell us a bit more about what you're going for.
>>64754528Sounds like he just wants guns that were weird designs and maybe are dead or hyperniche now but did work IRL, not FUSION LIGHTNING PLASMA STREAM nonsense?
>>64754528>Are you specifically looking for guns that match the G11's aesthetic, it's era, ones that are novel like it is?The latter, like my story is mostly set in the 2300's in a cowboy-esque setting within a divided galaxy of inhabited planets, each planet has dozens of nations and depending on the planet, you may encounter nothing more than a few urban crimes and bank robberies and for that I want more impractical, weird designed guns. Other planets are full-on warzones, and for those I want more practical weapons, along with more experimental tanks and vehicles
>>64754523It looks like a starting enemy grunt weapon that you grab from a bad guy, use for a short time, and then quickly discard because it’s awful.
Realistically, what firearm would you need to take down a rampaging Na'vi from the Avatar films? Nine feet of solid muscle and bone (reinforced with natural carbon fibre), extremely fast-moving and agile, fighting on their own turf with very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut it, would 7.62mm be enough?
>>64752979>t. shot placement KING/thread
>>64754363Having a teenager sound like a total grandma was weird as fuck. She didn't even TRY sounding younger.I'd still bang both of them, though.
>>64752947>very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut itWhy would it not cut it? Na'vi skin and muscle has to be so dense and strong that 556 wouldn't reach the organs and nervous system to injure/kill them and if that is the case then even 7.62 would struggle. IIRC in the first movie the humans used alot of guns that used some future 6.2x35mm rounds>>64753952>nuke the planet from orbit to get the unobtainiumThey dont need to do that to genocide them. They just need to fly high enough that no ikraan can reach them and just reenact the firebombing of japan or operation rolling thunder.The difference in technology is so different that there is nothing that can stop the RDA from genociding all the hostile na'vi tribes. The RDA should have in the second movie with ease 1000's attack helicopters. Send 10 helis per village to ballistically bombard them video relatedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Squ12m1Ewr4and you would with 1000 helis bomb 100 different villages at the same time.There is nothing that can stop the RDA from doing genocide the old school way. We are talking about stone age tech resisting space age tech. The na'vi resistance and their human allies did nothing for 14 years to prepare so the whole situation is hopeless.
>>64753336>>64753352Regardless of their physical capabilities, gunshot wounds are mostly outside the scope of Stone Age medical treatment. Any Na'vi you see take a bullet and shrug off the wound is more than likely a Na'vi that is going to die a couple days later.
>>64753537>>64753610It's kinda forgotten but Pandora only has 80% of Earth's gravity. Pound for pound humans should be noticeably stronger than Na'vi until muscle atrophy kicks in.

You keep fooling around like dat u gon make me acta fool. you gon make me do sum im gon regret. lowkey make me wanna tell AMD I founda new piece fr
>>64754529I made the mistake of getting the adapter before looking at the stocks. If you decide to go that route, the adapter can be yours. I decided to pick up a spare wire stock and have it sent off for the amdtech treatment. I probably should have just sent the original stock, but Im a sucker for spares/“custom” parts. Going to see if a masen pad or some other recoil pad will fit and then wrap it in something.

Going to stop there with a very nice shot of B-17s dropping>>64754143There's quite a few accounts that say that the bombers would bouy up as they dropped a few thousand pounds, yes
>>64754415Yeah, that's not very typical. I'd like to make that point.
I think the B-17 could also be equipped with fuel tanks for the bomb bay, but were they less common than those on the B-24?
>>64753587This plane starred in the movie "Toward The Unknown". Ironically in the movie, it played a failure of a plane. The actual plane ended up crashing.Good movie, btw.
>Original caption: Globe girdling coast Guardsman Stanley Mumford of wayne, Mich., knows what it is to load a pistol in a hurry. Mumford, a coxswain, had to reload the gun with one hand while operating a landing boat in the first wave at the start of the African invasion. He was wounded during the action. The Coast Guardsman has also seen service in the Southwest Pacific war zone.
Could this realistically work?
>>64754571Yep. On a technical level, if you look at stuff like the Typhoon you could definitely make it work, subs like ships can scale pretty well with nuclear reactors. But it's not really helpful vs a normal carrier. If anything having them underwater is flat out counter productive because part of the value of a carrier battle group is being a big fucking stick that stands out and exerts pressure just by sitting off the coast of some country we're unhappy with. Having it be secret spoils all that. Also really hard to do active defense underwater, the best protection for a carrier is its own aircraft, its escorts, and as a final line ship defenses (CIWS/RAM, probably DEWs before much longer). If somebody flies over a sub-carrier and drops a bunch of depth charges now what. Surfacing and submerging also aren't super quick operations like in games.So yeah lot of tl;dr to agree that the concepts aren't really compatible. Nuclear skycarrier you can actually sorta make napkin arguments for since it buys you entirely new capabilities for the downsides, and active defense can be even better, but subcarrier is a normal surface carrier but worse.

>>64754231Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow
>>64754438>so you really want to shoot them out of a vertical silo right into open air.That what the antagonists did in Macross Zero, except their planes had jet-rocket hybrid engines that could seal their air-intakes to work underwater. The show skipped over the issue of how to recover the planes however.
>>64754647Ah right, I vaguely remember that series, was kinda neat. IIRC the setting was before they figured out the alien thermonuclear engines that all the planes in the main series onwards used, but they still had overtechnology armor and shit that made them much tougher then anything IRL.
Need to know if I've been pooping myself with this, been using it for years
>>64754517I don't care about whatever meme oil of the month fags are pushing, but at the same time I don't understand this OH NOES THE PRICE at all. You're supposed to use a little bit in the right places, not immerse the fucking thing every day. A single tiny bottle can last for fucking ages. It's the equivalent of spending like, fractions of a cent per round. It wouldn't matter if it's $5/oz or $0.10/oz it's still effectively nothing either way. If one was even the slightest bit better might as well.
OG /k/'s recommendation ca. ~2007 was to buy a quart of royal purple or an equivalent synth. oil.20 years later I am unironically convinced we were right.The gun oil industry, to include the gay kommando lubeshit, is an absolute scam/snakeoil industry.>hurr but this oil protects against rust!>durrr but this one is for machine guns!Marketing retard bullshit.Buy lube/oil, expect to reapply it regardless. Simple as.
>>64754517>>64754594I think what we forget is how many noshoots there are though. If you use and in turn clean your gun regularly then anything decent is fine and cheapness matters. But tons of people buy a gun and it sits around 11.99 months out of 12. Maybe some of the lube shit makes more sense then. That farm youtube did show there were differences in rust and such between oils over long periods. Kind of a frustrating thought though. Just fucking shoot more.Also I think suppressors are an exception. Except for 22lr I don't clean them almost ever, they only need it after like 4000-10000 rounds. Shit is pretty built up at that point though. Feels reasonable it'll need something strong to soak in for a bit. Maybe I should buy an ultrasonic instead though?
>>64754550>OH NOES THE PRICEBecause relative to any other application that uses niche and expensive lubricating oils firearms have hands-down the highest profit margins in the industry. Go ahead and scammed though. Sorry for finding you a better deal.
