If you have an rc2 just get a red spring and an H3 and your dot won't move, take care
>>64697003>no anon don't use a basic COTI to enhance your situational awarenessEven if it's 20 degree FoV it's better than no thermal, and you don't have to sacrifice depth perception with a bridged unit
>>64697048Just make your gun weigh 15 pounds and it also won’t move
>>64697116And if I make my gun shoot more far then I don't have to move either so I can just sit my fat ass down on a cooler. Who would have thought the fudd with a .30-06 meme would come full circle?
>>64697116True
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?
>>64692321We had fantasy threads hitting bump limit every week years before you fucking got here.
>>64692327Man, it's fucking insane that the wave that people complain about was 9-10 years agoWhere the fuck did the time go?
>>64696120I'm a 2010 newfag, always am and always will be>Where the fuck did the time goIndeed
>>64696150I was part of an O.G. Habbo hotel raid. When I was a kid I hated dragons, now I want to fuck them.
>>64692034>but also the cost in power that would cause for the central government.But then how would we get aid to Ukraine?
Lol i know its impossible but this means I'm within range
Why are (I guess more were, because a lot of newer rifles don't come with sights) ramped beads a thing when posts/blades are simpler and pretty much every military decided they were better and standardized on them?
>>64690497blades are better for precision & accuracy though, its not even up to question; they're just not really fit for the military, because its simpler to have a post sight instead
>>64696771so what are ramped beads better for?
>>64696884not getting caught on shit all the time
Some shoot well with those beads. Not everything HAS to be a min-max dick measuring contest
>>64697032I can't imagine a hooded ramped bead is any less snagging than a hooded post and that a ramped bead snags less than a post
What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
>>64695447Stagger stack subcompacts are massively overrated. They don't actually conceal better because thickness isn't the limiting factor to that, grip height is. They are more comfortable to carry though. They're also significantly worse to shoot than similar height double stack guns particularly for those with larger hands. I honestly think they're a mistake, I've gone back to double stack for all of my belt gun needs, if I'm going to bother with more than a pocket gun then I want it to shoot well.
>>64696936This is pretty much my thinking these days. If I can't lug around at least a G19 I'm just going straight for the P32.
>>64696961At least you admit their is no point to the G26
>>64697021There might be a point if I carried appendix or ankle. The G19 in question is grip chopped.
>>64694071Already got a 40, love it
Saudi Arabia released footage captured using Chinese CH-5 drones of UAE loading MRAPs and other tactical vehicles onto ferry ships destined for Yemen:https://x.com/i/status/2005824068096786491
I know Saudis have quite a lot of toys relatively speaking in terms of their regional power - what does UAE have rockin? Need a QRD stat
all that energy could have been used for TKD
can arabs not undermine each other when their interests overlap for five minutes?
>>64696622You see it’s entirely because of the admittedly arbitrary borders set up by white people. If it wasn’t for those damned straight lines there would be palm trees and belly dancers everywhere and they would all coexist in harmony.
>>64696615>what does UAE havemostly French stuff
>>64697027it depends on what your definition of "good at suppressing" is
>>64697027Glock hush puppy is Lady Sonia titty boobjob fuck
>>64697052Are you drunk
Buhanka Mk II>armour>jammer
>>64696648>special variant known for surviving 21 hits to the side armor>all 21 from the same drone
>>64696648This one could realistically stop some fragmentation, especially if it was repeated on the inside like a spall liner.
>>64696640
>>64696640Don’t k1 bricks specifically need to be mounted on a surface strong enough to take the blast? As opposed to the later variants which have a blast plate included with the mounting

The MOD of Taiwan released a chart detailing each threat from PLA's long range strikes and how to deal with them. How accurate and effective is this chart? Could Ukraine take one notes that could help them against Russian Strikes?
>>64696925>Xi Jinping >born 15 June 1953>age: 72Tick Tock
>>64696997he is scared of death and is convinced he wIll live to 150, no bullshit
>>64696997What are the odds of the regime going apeshit when he dies? Does he have a successor lined up?
>>64696959>the new shipyards are yet to be functional.>the new shipyards>"new shipyards"he doesnt know^
>>64697028Good, let's hope he thinks he has decades more to plan, only to be unpleasantly surprised one day.>>64697033The nature of all (non-inheritable) autocracies is that the ruler can't allow for designated successors, on account of the risk of the successor wanting to hurry things up a bit

>>64695355>* gonna tip the balance of power againstTypo
>>64694660Why didn’t they buy M-346? What about the med alliance?
>>64696043>A Simple CalculationROI
>>64696043>M-346Probably because it's the main NATO advanced trainer in service and the wait time to receive the first jet is too long.
>>64696043Sweetener for Turkey buying EurofightersHurrjet is also on the cards for Britain's Hawk replacement because of the Eurofighter deal. But M346 would allow a common airframe with other GCAP nations Italy and Japan
IT'S UP!: https://youtu.be/qvUbx9TvOwk?
>>64697019>Zumwalt>Mission modulesWhat the fuck are you talking about? Are you >>64694474 as well?
Are niggas still posting in the thread about this Kremlin-tier vaporware?
>>64697039>We can't build anything bigger than a patrol boat anymoreThat's a great way to never end up with anything bigger than a patrol boat.
>>64696826>By putting the VLS on the edge of the ship and armoring the shipboard and cell-adjacent sides, You basically treat them as blow-out panels.Why isn't this considered superfluous in the face of ship leveling AShM? >Also saves a ton of prime real estate for machinery and computers.Surely there's some kind of drawback of other factor which makes this not such a straight forward improvement in warship design.>The US military has also put a ton of work into insensitive explosives and made a lot of significant progress on fielding them.If you don't have to worry about catastrophic munitions' detonations or fires than is it really necessary to place the VLS external to any armor? Because that just makes the cells more vulnerable to damage from even anti-tank scale warheads, Not that it would sink the ship but very cost-effectively defang it.
>>64697089Stop the cap. Even if a finished design for this monstrosity exists, there's no way anyone's bumping a Ford or America hull for a super-Zumwalt. If the plan is to upgrade naval yards it would be better spent increasing the number of destroyers or subs we produce.
Post gear, discuss gear.Maximalist edition. Let's go all out, just this once.Old: >>64671717
>>64694033What vest is that?
>>64693544You tuck the main flap behind the mags, and still have the thin strap for retention. Ive only ever seen it on Bulle pouches, and Im doubtful that a current year ranger would be using a bong airsoft brand that hasn't existed in over a decade, so presumably somebody domestic makes a version.
>>64696701a2 makes many bad choices. his taste in plates is assballs.
>>64696701Kill the vibe? Like a fuck ugly 14.5" barrel and a MGO? Yeah true>MGO IS GREAT>a-actually im just trying opticsPathetic, stick to your guns and die with your MGO.
>>64693517does the LSAPI even exist yet? the basic VTP plates are still only half issued, and grey market sales are not too common. I would also contest 28595s being "midrange">>64694698thought the 275's were just the LEO rebrand for the gen 3 spear plate?
Post some cool stuff.
>>64697064what two drivers and flat engine does to a mf
is it really worth it or overrated ?i mostly see cringy redditors use it for they commute i'd like to know if their bags are really that good before i drop 1k to replace my rig with theirs
>>64696932go on fucking reddit its just nerds going to school with a 250usd backpack bc its so cool and tactical and it's finish this new captcha making me insane btw
>>64696913Do you need a 1000D Cordura bag that weighs 10lbs empty or is what you have good enough?Their quality is great. Just a matter of whether the features are optimal for you.
Don't support those assholes
Varusteleka has gone in such a shit direction over the past few years. When's the last time they even had a fresh surplus haul?
>>64697058i got a 10lbs tasmanian tiger with internal flat aluminum frame that i bent twice alreadyalso i jump off planes with it so yeah im actually considering replacing both my rucksack and daypack with savottas just cuz there no way ill bend some tubular frame that easily (ive done it on some army issued one)>>64697070why>>64697074who
Schützenpanzer HS.30. It's actually crap but I love how compact it is.
Also anything with a recoilless rifle attached gets a few added cool-points.
>>64677656LOL... that's my tank, and my driver....Near Hannover in 1988. Good times!
>>64696796no shit? Did you post this in a previous thread or something?
