When china goes to war with taiwan can we expect a good month of footage or will the US just stomp them day 1?
>lost provoking image>irreverent time-wasting questionOP is a faggot
>>64342002China probably won't commit to the bit entirely and go full pariah-state when they get beaten back like Russia did, but I doubt it'll be a quick fight. They might not be able to take Taiwan, but they can still get into a real shooting war that could have weeks or months worth of strikes and hybrid warfare shit. I doubt we'll get the wealth of nitty gritty footage that Ukraine has provided, but you can bet there'll be a lot of footage of missile strikes on US military and infrastructure targets, like Israel has been recording since the Houthis popped off.

>modernizing the revolver means lightweight materials, optics cuts, better triggers, and interchangeable cylinders/calibers!Is he retarded? This is absolutely incorrect and this guy is never going to be satisfied because his demands are foolish. What we actually NEED in the revolver market is an autoloading revolver like the Mateba. What we actually NEED in the revolver market is a gas seal revolver like the Nagant (did you forget how popular suppressors are getting?).He was right on putting autopistol chamberings in revolvers: something like 9mm or 45 makes your cylinder (and thus the whole gun) a fair bit shoter.But hell, why not just combine the Mateba and the Nagant? A gas seal autoloading revolver? That's the only thing that might could pass for a "modern" revolver.
>>64338633Some form of gas seal would be a welcome addition to any revolver since that energy is simply wasted in the cylinder gap.
>>64338633The revolver is dead. I tried for years to make it work for carry but it just doesn't cut it over a semiauto. It became my gun for rafting or beach visits where I just don't want to fuck up and rust my better carry guns.Its only practical purpose over a semi is it doesn't shit casings all over the place ya dig?
>>64341179>the answer isn't requiring small, fiddly, proprietary piece of equipment>it's making that piece of equipment betterNo, the answer is getting rid of moonclips. Build an ejector that rotates 30 degrees and puts a tongue under the case head as it does to strip the empties out. It's head spaced off the mouth so putting a slight counterbore at the back of the cylinder to give it space to seat would work just fine.

They did not suspect that a deadly threat might lie in a small packet on the knees of the passenger in the government Volga behind them. > I am certain that none of us — neither I myself, nor our people in the West, nor the Aeroflot pilot, nor the KGB officer who accompanied the pilot, nor the officers of the KGB post at Moscow’s international airport who did not even know what kind of materials they were handling, none of us thought at the time that because of our actions the balance of war and peace might have swung towards war that day.

>>64337042The refrigeration is necessary because cooled seekers are sensitive enough to pick up the heat in the airframe from atmospheric drag.Uncooled seekers are like first gen technology and needed to be staring down the exhaust pipe to get a lock and would do weird shit like locking onto clouds because they were reflecting sun rays. All-aspect seekers allow you to get a lock even on a plane coming towards you and are less likely to be distracted by sun reflections but pretty much require cooling because it makes the photosensitive elements react to that specific band of the IR spectrum.Pulling the trigger to give launch authority and then the system fires when ready is extremely common in weapons. If you release a bomb in CCRP mode in an aircraft it's the same thing. You pickle to give release authority before you reach the drop point and the flight computer times the release and sends the command to the pylon when the time is right.
>>64337462You're mistaken
>>64337355>>64338843fantastic read, thanks anons, the more you know
>>64338843Worth noting that, while uncooled seekers tend to be pretty shit against aircraft, the latest generation of IR sensors is good enough to be used in fire & forget ATGMs.
>>64338862He's not, the beam is steered by the control unit, all the operator has to do is select a target from within the picture and keep the target within FOV until impact. It's basically like pointing your phone camera at someone and the phone handles the focus on their face regardless of where they move within the picture.
Sorry if this belongs on a different board, but it seems like there's lot of threads that are only tangentially related to the military, so I feel like this fits. Where can I read more about using psychological torture to turn men into perfect killing machines?
>>64342027You don't use torture, you use propaganda.
Historically the best killers were older brothers because they were more likely to have paternal instincts for others in their units which lead to them going super tryhard to keep people alive. There's no need in torturing people when natural biology plus nurture creates good motivation
>>64342047but anon I beat my younger brother like the cops beat rodney king
>>64342027>mkultra-adjacent slopThe 1960s and 1970s were full of psychological nonsense invented by boomers trying to cope with the trauma of missing out on the world wars. Lots of demonization of soldiers with some subtle faux-idolization thrown in to avoid the reality of normal human beings killing each other.
>>64342052Its not all but older brothers are more likely to have more responsibilities at younger ages. Modern parenting doesn't usually develop this as much if the parents are doing it all.

>You're aiming for the shoulder on purpose, right?
>>64331072Damn.. 35 years.. Desert Shield/Storm, because you refused to accept that newfangled M9 even though you were just a kid.. And the Army even still let you qualify with me back then. Bosnia, Somalia.. Your blood was all over my rear safety that really bad day.. You found some old dried blood underneath my grip safety a year later when you did a deep cleaning back home.. I like those Trijicon nuke dots you put on me.. I've been happy with how you got my rails peened and switched over to a match barrel and bushing. It's nice you still carry me every day, clean me at least once a week and go to our rock pit range at least every other week and clean me after.. Your son is nice, and has shown me nothing but respect. I look forward to being his when you think it's time. I'll miss you, but will be as faithful and dependable for him as I was for you. I agree, I hope he never adds to those gold inlaid notches under my left grip. But if he does, I'll perform and keep up with the skills you taught him and he advances. I'll keep him safe with your love and my dependability. You can rest easy, I got this. He's got this. He may be an implement of death, but he's saved lives as well.. Some of my spirit is in that metal and ivory. So my love is as well.
>>64331072I began writing its answer, but I ended up with a 2,500-character letter angrily informing me that there's nothing an AR pistol can do that a shotgun can't, and that the logical thing for me to do is to just bring my shotgun everywhere.Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that's wrong, but it's hard to argue with the one who "holds you as you dream, saying, 'All is well, leave the rest in my care'".

Why the hate for 30-30? It may be a controversial opinion, but seems like the 21st century has seen a torrent of skepticism toward the round by the "modernizers" in the gun world. They can't wait to call it "obsolete" and replace it with the hottest new trend of tomorrow.

>>64324685I am normally a Hornady hater, and I normally think lever evolution projectiles are like a manlet getting leg lengthening surgery, but a loaded round of 30-30 leverevo just looks like the business.And with 30-30 I kind of see the point in getting SOME extra range out of it, it's not as pointless as 44 mag.
>>64339008Didn't notice how shitty that PNG layer was until I posted it, whoops.
>>64324685One of my irrational wants is a double rifle in 30-30 regulated at 150yds with a peep sight.
No one "hates" .30-30. It's still one of the most popular whitetail hunting cartridges in the country and the variety of ammo available for it shows this. East of the Mississippi there are still a lot of people that use Winchester 1894's and Marlin 336's chambered in it. The only people who shit on it are typically younger min-maxxers or tactitards who think everything must be Glawk and AR-15. It's pretty much the antithesis of the current "long range hunting" trend so there's going to be retards that think it sucks. Still, it's pretty much all the rifle needed for deer and hogs out East. I live out West and there's still a few old timers that kill elk and deer with it, but rounds like .30-06 and .270 replaced it fairly quickly when they were introduced because they're much better at "longer" ranges (out to 300 yards) that we routinely encounter here.
