Is the Kilo-class a good weapon system for 2026?
>>64642947It actually +1'd
>>64642893Another possibility in the slightly longer term is that peace results in the world economy doing better, which increases demand for oil, but production might not quite keep up straight away.
>>64642871It'd be even more hilarious if a ceasefire caused russian economy to catch up with reality and crash.
>>64641065Datchas are a form of mental healthcare. You escape to them as often as you can when the weather becomes good again, because the commie blocks crush the soul.Or at least they were when I was growing up.

Did anyone in the middle east actually make a decent gun before 1955? As far as I know they just suck at doing so.
>>64643062You didn't have to repeat yourself
>>64641147Honestly to get you in perspective, teh guns manufactured in for example islamic Mysore in the 18th century were better than anything being made in the Americas (which were mainly based on imported parts from Birmingham)

Now that the dust has settled... Its time to apologize. Join me in an apology for a pistol was betrayed by its country despite its years of service.. A perfect embodiment of the GWOT era. Dear Beretta, we regret replacing you with cheap malfunctioning trash. Dear Beretta, we apologize for feeding you with substandard magazines which caused failure to feed issues. Dear Beretta, we regret mocking your lack of modularity despite 99% of troops never actually putting modular crap on their service pistol. Dear Beretta, we apologize for saying you were too big for womens hands, we realize now that women should never have been in the military or even the workplace. Dear Beretta, the weight of our transgressions stays our /k/ feet. We do not wish to be left behind. Amen.To all men listening now, this week, head to your local sports and outdoor and purchase a Beretta M92 variant. Clean it, train with it, learn its functions and maintenance as your own, it will take care of you as well. But do not apologize, as we have all apologized in solidarity here today. Comment too long.

Hey guys
>>64641909>I have gunsoomed too much recently thoughIf you still don't have some type of 90-series pistol after all these years, can you really say that you've "gun-sumed" at all?
>>64643018>the military We had a strict depot-level maintenance schedule, sport. None of the other 10 year old acquisitions had catastrophic failure rates coming even close to those piles of shit, no matter how many times the action had been cycled, or ammunition type. I can’t speak to other Beretta pistol models, but I can say with absolute certainty the NATO spec M9 is an expensive piece of shit.
Do attack helicopters still have a place on the modern battlefield?
>>64641985I'm paraphrasing a bit but one of the pilots interviewed about the US Army reducing pilot intake said something to the effect of>Why are we trying to become the Ukrainian Army?>We're the US Army, and we're quite good at it.People seem to be seeing 'wow, drones are enough to let anyone stop mighty Russia' and not 'wow, drones are fucking scary in a degraded operational environment between two forces stretched thin and lacking enough of their preferred tools'.I also don't think it helps that 'drone' as a term has some novelty to it. You're seeing what we would've called cruise missiles 20 years ago being called drones. Most of these things are being used as glorified TV-guided munitions.Everyone loves a disruptor and a tech solution, even if it's not fundamentally a new threat vector at all.
>>64641682>Maneuver infantry wars stalled into attrition warfare horrors thenThis fucking stupid meme again.Ludendorff and Brusilov would like word with you.

If you were tasked with designing a military transport plane, how would you prevent this from happening?
>>64642797The last Russian cock is gone.Truly now the only thing that can be in the ass is the ass.
It would be very serious if this severe damage occurred with the plane empty.
>>64642810But without the mighty Russian cock how will they get the eggs? You know what they say, an unlaid egg can never be measured.
>>64642648That only happens at high temperatures, retard.

I ended up with a few of these civil guard soft plate vest. I'm not really a plate guy but I want to fill them for the larp at comps. Do these take a fairly common size soft plate?
>>64643022how did you end up with them?

I've got a serious strategy to beat China in WW3. Let's say we're trying to invade Shanghai: we'll humidify the fuck out of Shanghai's atmosphere with milk particles. Chinese people by-and-large are lactose intolerant, so all the Chinese soldiers will be forced to surrender due to shitting their pants or experiencing a tummy ache; meanwhile, the milk in the atmosphere will enhance the combat capabilities of western soldiers. It doesn't violate the Geneva Conventions because milk is technically not a chemical weapon, and it'd be humane too since it doesn't even cause any permanent injuries. We'll haul over all kinds of equipment and boatloads of milk to achieve it, and we could even "poison" Shanghai's water supply with milk, leaving the Chinese with zero ability to fight. There'd probably be mass desertions too since PLA soldiers would just ditch the trenches to get away from the smell of shit.I don't know if chemical weapons are within the scope of /k/, but what do you guys think? Should I try and lobby this idea to a think tank?

Could it work for home defense?I am from a country where firearms are almost impossible to get but these are not regulated
>>64635859There was one sperg a couple years ago in Norway or Denmark or something who shot up a grocery store as much as one can with a bow. I think he killed at least one or two people.
>>64635768>Then why you can buy a compound bow but a pistol is forbidden?In my country fucking butterfly knives and thumb stud opener knives are prohibited, but 30cm chef knives can be sold to anybody regardless of age over the counter.
>>64642304Ok, makes sense, but that applies only if you carry the stuff around. For home defense they should be legal though.
>>64642246What threads?
>>64635768Pistol fits in your pocket, shoots multiple times without you having to reload it, is much easier to use and to hide, and is considered a status symbol by the people who shouldn't have them.Wtf is that captcha ?

>>64641310>Thanks Anon, appreciate the insight and suggestions. The Interwar years are of particular interest to me so I'll def be checking those out.https://findingaids.hagley.org/repositories/3/resources/980Francis Bannerman Son was a major purveyor of military goods to sportsmen and collectors in New York City over three generations. The Francis Bannerman Son records demonstrate the operation of a small family business and a lack of formal structure. They document Bannerman's purchase of military goods from state and federal arsenals and their resale to individuals, with other regular purchases of arms and military antiques made on buying trips to Europe. The bulk of the collection consists of over 143 bound volumes of order books and outbound letters, and correspondence of incoming letters containing customer orders and inquiries. This collection would be useful to researchers interested in the resale costs and designs of military goods, especially arms and uniforms, as well as family-run small business performance and operations.

>>64642971My mom regularly goes to estate sales and she told me about this one sale at the house of a recently deceased military man who had a bunch of cool shit in his house, apparently used to teach tracking, survival and evasion stuff to the SADF and Rhodesian Army. Anyway they found a bunch of dynamite and a live M26 or M67 frag grenade in his basement. Had to call in the EOD from team Tucson. Anyway point of the story is there’s a lot more shit like that lying around then most people thinks. I guy at work I know’s father was an EOD for the county sheriff’s department and he would get called out about three times a week for stuff like that. Mind you, we are a small rural county in bumbfuck nowhere so three times a year is a lot. Anyway my point is there’s is a lot more HE explosives just lying around then people think.

>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
>>64637642I'd really like to see you make an ammo casing and a primer cup from scratchI'm not joking, I'm seriousplease go ahead and try>>64637658he's still using the brass hard to machine part of the 12ga shell
>>64641919The cup can be made by wrapping aluminum foil around the end of a match stick. The anvil is the hard part.
>>64641502 #>The French method involved mixing manure, ashes, straw and human urine, fermented for a year, then filtered through ashes and straw. You can make saltpeter and charcoal, sulfur needs to be mined though.
>>64630041For Europeans and others with gnarly gun control, you have my sympathies.For my fellow Americans, any discussion about "le diy ammo" is larp fantasy because the immediately apparent solution is to buy 5000 rounds of 22lr for the cost of a couple shifts at mcdonalds and cache them across your area/state/city. Heck, even stash a bunch of 9mm and 5.56, you can even cache entire guns extremely easily.
>>64637594>haven’t had a mass shooting sinceThe funny thing is, they've had 30 since port arthur. A few are gang related or are family killings, but plenty of dudes took guns and started shooting up a park or restaurant.

>>64637262>designed to be spammed en masseSo was the original ones, to bait and saturate air defenses. Iran just uses them generally because lol no air force to destroy air defenses for. If Iran had a real air force (including big drones), they would be using Shaheds like that too.
>>64637604A schizophrenic told me in my dream that the Israeli psyop unit building got hit during the Iranian buttblast and that's why other boards stopped having weird shit spammed on them for a while. Therefore it's cope, even Israeli media admitted the damage was way worse than they admitted during the attack.

>>64632863This image makes me hard.
>>64637262>The Harpy was a anti-radiation munition designed for SEAD, the Shasneed is a low cost attack munition designed to be spammed en masse. They are different in every single way beyond their general shape, which means fucking nothing when it comes to military tech. What I'm hearing is that the Iranians wanted Harpy at home, but were incapable of copying the electronics, so they built something that looked the same and bragged about how implessive their engineering is. You know, the same thing they did with the RQ-170.>Is the American Shasneed a copy of captured Shasneeds from Ukraine?The American Shasneed in your picture is a target drone designed to replicate the performance of captured Shasneeds from Ukraine, in a sense, yes it is. But trying to pass it off as "Americans are desperate to copy superior third world engineering" is obviously bullshit.

>>64641844This, larpers are embarrassing themselves. It’s off putting to normal people to see civilians acting “serious” with guns. It’s fine if they own the cringe aspects of collecting/pretending, and acknowledge it as a hobby and nothing more, but pretending to be on the same level as legitimate forces is an utmost humiliation.Things get worse when they can’t point to what is the “mission” they are supposedly equipping themselves for, without referencing radicalization materials and kremlin propaganda.
