how to beat mongols/horse nomads?Fortifications?focus on range?heavy cav?hold out until the current khan dies?
>>64765773Majority of horse nomads are easy. Heavy cavalry wrecks them. Disciplined heavy infantry wrecks them. Fortifications wreck them. Mostly, horse nomads just raid for food and flee when your heavies show up. They're really good at fleeing.Mongols are, unfortunately, not the majority of horse nomads. Mongols have discipline on par with 18th century European armies, unlike... well, any other pre-gunpowder army. Mongols are weird because they have half a dozen generals each on the level of Caear or Pompeius and all of them arw loyal to Genghis or Ogedai. That kinda thing is shockingly rare. Mongols have absolutely no qualms about integrating conquered peoples' infantry into their armies in a matter of years. Actually not uncommon amongst sedentary peoples, but rare amongst nomads. Mongols back the raiding capabilities inherent to horse archers with a logistical base not seen amongst any of their contemporaries, and indeed not since Rome, which enables them to campaign foe multiple years, even decades, and take fortresses, something horse nomads usually lack the ability to do.What I'm saying is, Mongols were exceptionally unusual. Mongols were horse nomads, but most horse nomads were not Mongols.Genghis' ability to inspire loyalty amongst people who would otherwise be busy carving out their own microempires and backstabbing each other, his and his immediate successors' ability to integrate conquered societies' soldiers basically on the spot, his and his officers' ability to actually discipline an army of horsemen was a literal once in history event. No horse nomad society before or after accomplished what he did. In the end, they were stopped only when their logistics gave out, similar to the Spanish in the Americas or Rome in central Europe.Stopping horse archers has been accomplished by a plethora of sedentary peoples. It's not rocket science.Stopping the Mongols, assuming you aren't sitting 5000 km from their homeland?Good luck.

>>64768299>Heavy cavalry wrecks them. Disciplined heavy infantry wrecks themNot really to both. Heavy infantry has to catch them, and gets whittled down until they do. Same goes for heavy cavalry. Forces containing both were able to win, but it's not like everyone with heavy infantry cleared steppe nomads all the time-or even most of the time. It required combined arms, and often incorporating or hiring horse archers for your own side as well.There's also the problem that many steppe nomads brought their own heavy cavalry along. The Scythians invented the concept of heavy cavalry in the first place.
How many LRASMs will the US have in the East Asia/Pacific by February–April 2027? A good friend of mine (who I trust a lot) told me that Pooh will invade Taiwan around then and wants the whole island occupied and the US accepting defeat by August 1 (the anniversary of the start of the Civil War). (I’m not saying who my friend is btw so you’ll have to “trust me bro” on this)

Meh. The physical war would be much much less important than the digital one. Even the outcome of the physical war.If I were you, I would procure a 3 kilowatt (5kw startup peak) generator, a rotating stock of 40-50 gallons of 91/93 AKI octane gas (if you live in humid areas ethanol fractioned 87 starts going bad in 6-8 months), a few hundred watts worth of solar panels plus the gear to make them work as 5/9/20/120v supplies (batteries optional but recommended at least 10kwh), and a 2 month drystock and water supply and dont skimp on the salt or water.Just in case.>>64765378A committed US defense given the current political climate would be all or nothing. Either they go full apeshit and end it ASAP or US fucks itself. And I truly hope everyone with a smattering of command decision understands this and understands that IF it happens, the only correct choice is going apeshit.

How hard would it be for a handgonner to hit a man sized target at 60m?

>>64764272I smoke as well. The booze and guns combo is reprehensible, enjoy the future hole in your ceiling
>>64729552Handgun range is usually considered around 30m with the range limitation more the difficulty in holding a pistol still and a short sight radius. 60m is still doable. For a rifle, 50m is well within reflex range and 100m is still a very fast and easy shot with irons.For an archaic blackpowder it really depends on the specifics of the weapon and the training of the gunner. 60m should be a relatively easy shot for a professional who has had time to practice shots at this range.

>>64768510>>64768610Fun fact on that note, bunch of studies actually show wood is more sanitary to cut meat on than on plastic (assuming you wash it afterwards). Something about the combination of woods naturally anti-bacteria properties and the fact that when it dries out any bacteria on it basically dies without any moisture.
>>64768510I slow-roasted beef and onions in a clay pot with beef tallow, beef stock, and beef boilion, bay leaves, black pepper, thyme and paprika. It cooked for 4 hours and was so tender it was falling apart. I had it with rice and roasted broccoli. It was awesome.
>>64768607I am regaining hope that I'll be able to conceal carry a glock for personal protection and hunt with an Armalite-pattern rifle, without having to seek employment in America. Canadian copium sure smells good.
the fuck is this?
>>64768422The ATF would disagree with you, their attitude is once a rightful always a rifle. For example if I took a rifle and cut it down to the size of a pistol it would be still considered an SBR because it was once a rifle and that's vice versa on handguns as well it's really dumb. If I add a 16 inch barrel to a handgun but it has a forward grip that's considered illegal because once a handgun always a handgun once a rifle always a rifle.
>>64768422>Can I lawfully make a rifle into a pistol without registering that firearm?>No. A firearm that was originally a rifle would be classified as a “weapon made from a rifle” if it has either a barrel less than 16 inches in length or an overall length of less than 26 inches.>https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/can-i-lawfully-make-rifle-pistol-without-registering-firearm
>>64768471Not necessarily. There's a few rare exemptions, mostly Thompson Contender pistols fitted with a specific rifle stock/barrel conversion kit, then that kit is fully removed and all original pistol parts/barrel reinstalled.https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/ruling/2011-4-pistols-configured-rifles-rifles-configured-pistols

When trying to destroy a stationary enemy surface drome, is level bombing like its 1943 really the most effective way to engage them, or is Russia utilizing suboptimal methods here?
>>64768168>in the first months of the Russian military intervention in the Syrian civil war, Russian aircraft equipped with the SVP-24 usually missed their targets by around 100 metresTo put that into perspective, in 1943 the notoriously under-performing Norden bombsight delivered a CEP on average of 370m and it was a self-contained mechanical computer. No electronics, no radar-fed data, no satellite guidance signal, just someone adjusting knobs by hand while squinting through a telescope at 12,000 feet.
>>64768280The one I'm thinking of had someone shining a spotlight on a seadrone that was literally doing donuts right next to the ship
>>64768357What's incredible about the Norden is that a huge degree of what made it underperform wasnt any fault of the device. German smoke screens were very effective in reducing target identification accuracy, and even at wars end the Allies hadnt found a way to combat bombing creepback

>>64768628True but that's more political shit I'm sure Burgerbro's don't care much about, the sheer seething about the SKS being borderline unbannable may bring more universal keks.
What is the best in class for each category? >HMG>MMG>LMG>GPMG>SAWyou can choose the same gun for multiple or all categories.I'd stick with>M2>M240>HK21kinda hard to choose a SAW I like all around more than aforementioned choices
Kord 6P50 FN minimi in. 5.56FN minimi in 5.56Unsure what qualities as GPMG, possibly a M2 browning.SAW is a dubious construct, squads are now made up primarily of automatic riflemen so your LMG typically is your SAW. And something like an akm or g3 with a drum mag, well that's still your SAW.
Also the m2 is dog shit. The US just made a bizarre number of them so they became widespread gpmg.The m2 was never good in a gpmg role either, it's just that the US looked good for having so many mgs, fighting peasant forces who couldn't even field SAW.50. Bmg is not a good cartridge, it's not a good AM cartridge, not a good HMG cartridge. 7.62x39 is far better in all respects, and the M240B was far better then the m2.So the m2 was outclassed so badly that they all became gpmg, the role where their performance matters the least.
>>64761461>>64762851>own categoryThey fall into the LMG category
>>64768601>They fall into the LMG categoryAll SAW are LMG.
based on what I know about these not having shot any of them...>HMGprobably kord, m2 is good but it has weird quirks with headspacing/being heavy and whatnot. not sure how much m2a1 fixes that but it's still 30lbs heavier >MMGprobably mmg338 but i don't know how reliably they actually run. if they're no good, mg3/m240>LMGsame as above, but the m250 and hk4. i don't know how actually useful an m27 would be as a base of fire but they're also cool >GPMGm250/mg3 >SAWm250/hk4some chinese stuff might be pretty good too but nobody but the pla knows how good their stuff actually is for the most part. qjz-171 might be a contender for a very good mmg/hmg if it actually is good

>>64768605they probably did have air superiorityUkraine has been able to temporarily establish air superiority over local areas of the front for at least a year nowThe russians still have lots of AA capability spread out around joint, but it can't stand up to Ukrainian EW and western fast jets without serious backup so the Ukrainians get a window whenever they attack until the Russians can change frequencies and concentrate high end AA in the area
