>>64637058The F-117 flies high subsonic, you can't use foam for such speeds. You could use glass fiber composits, but you would still have a massive engine, an ejection seat, etc to shield from radar, so it would not help all that much.For a tiny slow drone, you can buy an R/C servo with plastic gears that is mostly radar transparent. For a real plane this is not an option, so even if your wing is composite, you now have an actuator for your control surfaces that's a chunk of metal.So their approach with the F-117 was radically different, and they tackled stealth at the fuselage surface, not internally like these drones do.I do not really understand why you bring it up, do you want me to explain how every single approach to stealth works for every single object ever build in a 2000 char post?

>>64638742>For a tiny slow drone, you can buy an R/C servo with plastic gears that is mostly radar transparent.Servo is a motor with wires and magnets it's radar reflector. I guess you can hide servo in fuselage and run plastic fishing lines to wing from it and make everything in the wing from plastic.But anyway you end with things that you need to hide from radar: engine, warhead, control unit, servos. All metal, all complex shape and full of radar reflcetion bright points. If you aim for raadar stealth for them you must have radar non transparent fuselage
How would an european army look like? Which weapons, vehicles, gear and doctrine would they use? And how would their logistic chain and administration work?

12 gage styled as a comically large revolver, with nigant style sealing system so you don't have gas escaping the cylinder gap and can support the barrel.
>>64639786Would actually be a good candidate for Precision Grenadier program. You're not firing a nade launcher fast enough to NEED semi-auto action anyway.>>64641442MTs-255-12 could be modified to nagant-seal, I guess. Would fix a huge problem with the original, but the double action trigger pull would be atrocious.
6 shot bear defense gun in .44 magnum. But it’s a break action pepper box style 2 wide 3 tall. Each trigger pull sequentially shoots another cartridge. A second trigger that requires a full hand squeeze like a staple gun unleashes a “POWER SHOT” unloading the whole payload at once. Just break open, jam some bullets in, repeat.

>>64637239>bought hundreds of Bic lighters as preps>didn't know they go bad and don't work in 5-10 years>now have a bad of dead lightersFuck. Should've just got an old school one and some fuel. You can even use gasoline in those ones or any flammable liquid.
>>64641602use oil, more functional and burns slower
>>64637239No. I thought it was understood and went without saying. The fact that you needed this for your brain to “think” is absurd an/or sad.
>>64639290>i suck at packing my pipe so I constantly have to re-light it, I hate zippos because they taste like shitFirst of all, lighters are for cigarettes. Second, use a match. 3rd, learn to pack your bowl and use your poker. Once you’ve got good at getting a good cherry slowly sinking its way to the bottom of the bowl over 30 min or so, the brief taste of a lighter to get her started over a match won’t bother you so much because it’s one time. Wanna fun nasty one? Try lighting a pipe using a storm proof match… did this while camping once, never again, YUCK!

They gobble as much oil as USA, Japan and Germany together.About half of that comes from the Middle East through tankers across the Indian ocean.A fifth comes from Russia by pipelines.A tenth come from South America by tankers across the Pacific ocean.Those are not small ships and their schedule is highly regulated.
>>64640468A report written by a terrified German commander desperately trying to appear 'competent' for political reasons. Taking any German reports from WW2 at face value is the sign of a either a retard, or a propagandist.
>>64641488Considering the Russian capabilities that we have seen I'm more than willing to take german accounts at face value.

I like German heavy tanks, but I don't like the episode where a single T-34/85 caught a King Tiger off guard and instantly destroyed three of them from the side.

I've become really interested in guns, historical military stuff, and artillery. However, I don't have a clue how to study or research the subject. Do anyone know or have resources on this?
>>64641205Make models

>>64641205You can go on archive.org and look up folskacademy self defense and some how artillery falls under that.
I recently saw a video which made me impressed by the advantages of a straight pull rifle. Who makes them besides blazer? Andy doesn’t everyone make them? In the past you could more reasonably argue that turn bolt are more precise but I’m not sure that holds anymore? Also manually operation rifle thread I guess

>duuude gun laws are pointless because everyone with 4k worth of tools and 2 weeks of free-time can build his very own SMG (that has an effective range of 10 yards)ok but where are you going to get the ammo? sure, smuggling 10 rounds across the border is easier than smuggling a weapon but for a proper "protect the rights of the people"-situation you need hundreds if not thousands of rounds per gunseems like it would make more sense to build DIY long range rifles instead of SMGs / Pistols so you can get the most out of each roundyes, you can make your own ammo with blanks and slugs but that stuff can be banned too and then its back to square 1

Kinda decent video about the Gettysburg F/A-18 shootdown incident, going over the interesting bits of the report they released:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkyplZNHmzQHere's the report:https://www.secnav.navy.mil/foia/readingroom/HotTopics/HST%20Investigation/Redacted_Full%20CI%20Friendly%20Fire%20HSTCSG%20(2)_Redacted.pdf
>>64639829Why the fuck did they give the ship with broken iff and broken datastreaming command of air warfare in the area at all?This fuckup goes above this ship and its captain, lol
>>64641382"The Navy explicitly ruled out problems with any of the ship’s radars."They do this so they can blame the crew and hide the fact that they send out half broken ships on patrols. The radar on the Fitzgerald was working in the same sense that a gear box that is stuck on gear #3 is working. It works but cannot perform its task.
>>64639838Of course! How else do you think they countered Confederate armor?
>>64639829Thats my standard watch keeping routine at sea and is sustainable indefinitely once you get into the swing of it. Having looked through the report I think there were more significant failures than fatigue.

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.

>>64634900>If we look to Diaz el Castillo's account of his time as one of Cortez' men we find that he mentions both Aztecs making use of captured European swords, and the conquistadors making use of local armour (most having none from back home), but nothing about conquistadors making use of local weaponsI seem to recall him mentioning a horse getting it's head cut off at one point, perhaps by a Tlaxcalan
>>64634465I saw a video about these recently.The gap between the obsidian pieces is supposed to be a lot smaller its a sword not a sharp club
>>64641826The guy talked how these things could kill horses very effectively.It didnt stand a chance against steel armor.Obsidian being a prittle as it is
I finally got to experiment with what SOG guys did in vietnam, use the canteen pouch to hold mags. Molle canteen pouch can hold up to 4-5 30rd 556 mags.
