>>64687005>This is just a gigantic molle rectangle.It's not a ranger rack dumbass, the mags are held behind the molle webbing. And even if it was just purely just molle webbing, you do realise molle pouches other than mag pouches exist, right? You could set it up exactly like the temu shit except it isn't dogshit quality and it's infinitely more versatile.My advice? Learn more about gear before you waste money on some airsoft tier bullshit

In the 3 cells I'm going to have 2 USGI mags, a radio and my Glock 17. Everything else like my water, food, rifle cleaning kit etc, I can keep in my backpack.
>>64687005>I'm locked into only carrying what the pouches are designed to carry.Protip, a single mag pouch can fit a pistol. It could easily fit your dildo and anal bead collection. If you add a couple more.>>64687005>The FLC just looks like a pointless waste of fabricYou're not really to bright, are you?

Russia launches 50-100 EACH DAY and waves of 600 drones accompanied by missiles every other week. What have they resulted in so far? Absolutely nothing. These are drones are comically easy to shoot down even with smalls fire and they're extremely prone to EW
>>64687119Seems to be successfully prolonging the stalemate. That's not nothing.
>>64687121Russia's terror attacks have nothing to do with the ongoing stalemate, it's not like ukraine is producing its own weapons or ammunition in any significant number. These attacks only serve to terrorise the civilian population which they have failed at
>>646871191. Massive pain in the ass to deal with. Ukraine has an extensive layered defense for handling them and it has to be maintained since if they lapse it will result in huge losses. 2. They periodically hit something and do extensive damage. 3. Killing a trickle of people has undue economic impact that is not apparant. I remember early on some lady doctor was killed. The cost to replace her and the lost wages is around one million. 4. It scares enough Ukrainians from coming back home - depriving them of their economic input.It's the go-to way of warfare from here on out even if it doesn't achieve strategic aims. You can be sure China is gonna drone spam Taiwan if it ever gets into a fight. >Year 5 of China's 3 day invasion of Taiwan results in 1000 drones hitting nightly
>>64687130>4. It scares enough Ukrainians from coming back home - depriving them of their economic input.Ukrainians abroad are far more valuable to ukraine than Ukrainians living inside ukraine. The Ukrainians living abroad can help pressure foreign governments into taking action and the money they send back is far more than they'll ever make working In ukraine
Let us list military hardware that we think is both effective and well priced. Italian Centauro:>1.6 million Euros (1.88 USD)>stabilized gun>105 rifled barrel>or 120 smoothbore barrel
>>64685733The Centrauro is a straight upgrade on the French AMX which does not have a stabalized gun at all.
>>64685733acquisition is merely a fraction of TCO
>>64685733>>64685738They're both beautiful and that's what mattersI guess the AMX-10RC was intended to camp rushing Soviet tanks more than anything else
>>64685738False comparison Centauro is a dedicated TD, hits hard and fast from a stable platformAMX is a cheap, light scout vehicle with a gun, you want it for long range patrols in Africa where logistics is a serious concern
>>64685733There is no fucking world in which a Centauro is 1.6mil euros, maybe back in 1991
Is this the most accurate portrayal of BMD in anime?
>>64686979This. There's at least two other guys in the facilities room that could help redeem the launch key.
>>64685441>designated launch areas>for submarinesBull fucking shit. There's no way they'd build in a weakness that big when they could make the missiles calculate their path to X target after being given latitude and longitude co-ords for its launch position.
>>64687097Lol no dude, maybe today that's trivial but a lot of these launch platforms are so old the information is fed to them by magnetic tape.
>>64685227But she's also not a Burke. She may well be expected to be force air for a JMSDF task force and need the additional LSDs.

Thoughts about Baofeng radios?
>>64684744Local PD and brown people cant interfere or intercept your AES256 DMR channels so just know the what and why of what you're doing on comms. Don't ever fuck with feds you are not and will never be him. If the feds want you they will have you no matter what radios or software. Back doors or EW stuff should not apply to you, I wouldn't worry about it.
>>64680976Hand helds are only work line of sight. You need an amplifier and an antenna to get range. I guess you can sit on a hill to go farther.Gmrs may be better for you if you only want to talk local. Plus you can listen in on truckers while you drive. No test and only 35bux for a license.
>>64687039baofeng can operate on gmrs band
>>64686452>They are shit radios. Still better than no radio, though.I beleive I said that.>>64681196>These are cheap ass radios, they have more range than yelling and are more covert than yelling. Not much else.
>>64686367>Can you even trust the instruction set of a CPU?I don't need to know how to build a clock to tell.the time. Wtf are you on about?>>64686345>Most of the world is spying on you one way or another. Including your own government.Every internet connection including the phn in your pocket is "spying" on you. You are not a 'Man of Mystery' and nobody really cares what you say or think, so get over yourself. That goes double for any Baofeng users.
was the P 26/40 comparable in performance and role to a Panzer IV or even a Panther?
>>64687064Does the series even has panty shots? I'm pretty sure one of the main visual gags in GUP is to show the girls in angles were panties are almost visible but not quite there yet.Strike Witches on the other hand...
>>64687070I am sure there are anons here that are active members of the Pantsu Watch willing to do the research to discover if any girl was part of the Pantsu Elite for us.
>>64687016>japan came out with bigger, better tanks than italy?The difference being, of course, that Italy actually managed to field the few bigger TDs they made, while the Japs did nothing with theirs
>>64686922Anime plot magic. It's also how all the girls that were hit by the gerat mortar in the movie didn't immediately fucking die in the massive explosion
>poorfags>treated as the comic reliefs by the other schools>90% of their fleet are tankette shitboxes>couldn't win against the protag faction and their wunderkind commander>relegated to be the scouts in the OVA>it's anchovy's last year before graduation>wins against the poles>eddaje!.jgp>loses against darjeeling>tfw anzio will never win again and prolly would have to scrap senshado and go back to literature/chess clubs before they inevitably get sold out
>mogs your puny weak little capitalist bolt locking lugs
>>64686844Dubs that the Chinese are culturally terrified by, no Wumao may quote this post for he fears death.
>>64685911>>64686124Ah I see you too are a connoisseur of me ebin /r/NCD reddit maymays about me China. To coherently claim that the 191 keyholes because of some vague nonsense about "muh corruption" (how the fuck are you supposed to embezzle money by not properly rifling barrels?) Or "muh chineisum, quick question, where was the electornic device you're using made?) You have to hold the position that the Chinese were perfectly capable of rifling the barrels of All three Type 56's (SKS, AK, RPD), Type 81's, QBZ-95's and all th variants thereof, QZB-03's, all their machineguns and handguns but were suddenly magically unable to press the "rifle the barrel" button on the rifling machine since 2019 because the universe struck them all retarded. What's more likely 1. Rubber bullet training ammo used for CQB practice keyholes 2. The Chinese are not able to incorporate a firearms feature that has been practiced for centuries and were perfectly always to do before 2019 Even the most jingoistic retard has to admit they're being retarded about this.
>>64687042You've upset me with your semantic arguments and autistic knowledge. Because at sea level there's no difference between the bolt designs, the soviet ones are easier to manufacture and have a longer theoretical service life- but are more prone to critical failure. At sea level, it's a non issue. But in the Himalayas there are specific issues with temperature differential on the larger AK style lugs at the adjusted high altitude operating pressure. The AKs can be slammed into battery when they really shouldn't, and will suffer a non-trivial rate of failure.It's only a few thousands of an inch, but it's a consistent issue with the AK bolts. Tolerances are too loose, beefy steel parts shrink, you're working with adjusted gas pressures, operators smash them into battery when they're full of frozen sandgrit, you get a non trivial rate of OOB.So in the technical discussion about locking lugs, that's the only context i think it's relevant and that's my experience.
>>64686885Someone ran an LMT E-Bolt for 28k rounds and it hasn't sheared a lug yet
My great grandfather was a decorated officer in the US Airforce during the Korean War. My great uncle has a display case with his medals, and his service rifle, which is a select fire M2 Carbine. I haven't inspected it closely, so idk if it's functional or demilitarized. If it is functional idk if it registered or transferable.Has anyone heard of a scenario like this before? I can't find any examples online of an officer being given an M2 when they retired. I'm also certain that it is an M2, not an M1 Carbine.My great uncle plans to give me his guns, including that one at some point in the near future. Obviously I hope it's transferable, but I think that could only be the case if it was registered when he retired. I doubt that he submitted any paperwork for it later in his life, and I know that my great uncle never did.Any thoughts or advice?

How fucked am I? I went to a stripclub on vacation and told both the front desk and stripper who was giving me a lapdance I was in the military. The front desk scanned my state ID. I touched the stripper during the lapdance, no penis in vagina, didn't touch her vagina, didn't kiss. I touched her boobs though.
>>64686372If you thought this was worthy of mentioning, then you are very fucked.

That I bought an M&P 57 and a brand new diesel F-250. Is this a sign? Do I need to immediately drive to Academy and my nearest ford dealership?
>>64686402>That I bought an M&P 57 and a brand new diesel F-250Just follow pic related, you're already infected it looks like.

>>64686661Because the people who drink it are too much of a lily liver for beer, the easiest alcohol to drink. However, instead of accepting temperance they make an even weaker drink so they don't feel left out
>>64686402>brand new diesel F-250The only diesel truck in 2025 that isn't a colossal piece of shit is RAM. Ford has a multitude of electrical issues, GMC has all sorts of problems with their motors, electrical and drivetrain in general, Chevy has roughly the same problems.Never like Ram/Dodge trucks but if I had to buy a new one thats the only brand I'd go with. >t. diesel mechanic
Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.

Were bombers instrumental to WW2?
>>64686766Merlins or something else?
>>64685539Yeah.>bombs factories>do a little bit of terror bombing(krauts did it first so it's okay)
>>64686766The XB-38, a variant with Allison inline engines as opposed to the usual Wright-Cyclone radials. Didn't impart any significant performance improvements, and Allisons were more urgently needed for P-38s and early P-51s, so it never got past one prototype.
>>64685539Tactical and naval bombers were crucial, yes. Strategic bombers far less so.
The Enola Gay is a pretty famous bomber from WWII.
