It lets you draw your own OnScreenDisplay (like the HUD in games) for quadcopters (also general UAVs, why not?) and test it out in a GoodEnough(TM) simulated environment, all in the browser (Firefox at least, the Chromium-based ones seem more finnicky when it comes to WebGL). Idea being you can easily verify the formulas and general feel before porting over and implementing it on the actual drone with data from the sensors.

Of course you can try to mimmick real life cockpits or animu designs like from Patlabor but displaying telemetry data is just the fun tip of the iceberg, once you start renouncing your well-adjustment to society and get into world space - screen space projections you can do all sorts of nicer things. Picrel, for example, is a basic true horizon overlay for instrument-like flying through fog, smoke etc. And since you know speed and heading, you can figure out the velocity vector, then with the current position, altitude and the fall time it would take, you get the landing spot, basically a crude CCIP. Which you then project based on current pitch, yaw, so on. Add pre-known target positions and you work towards a CCRP. All these ghetto-rigged on your own cheap drones.

>28595s
People that don't know what the 28595s are will sell them for comically cheap. I think two guys in /arg/ got them for $400 a set. People that know what the 28595s are also know what LTC 28570s are, and the 28570s will put a cap on the 28595 pricing. I marked the CR-6450SA and 28595 anyway with a $$ because they are mid-high price wise on a regular day.
>Defender 275s
Specs don't line up with the Ceradyne 92547. That's a multi-hit Level IV swimmer just over 5lb. The Defender 275 is 0.62" thick and provides only single hit B-32 API protection. The thickness reveals it has no drop protection, because plates like the 28595 are 0.85-0.9" thick.

I'm a brainlet when it comes to acoustics, but are there reasons other than price/difficulty as to why a monolithic suppressor made of sintered titanium or stainless steel wouldn't work ? Think of acoustic foam with insane weight to structural strength.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2AM9x80nA&t=63s
>>
You mean the whole thing is made of titanium or steel but with the topology of foam, and with a caliber-sized hole in the middle for the bullet? If that’s what you mean, well all that material, despite being porous, gets in the way of the gas, and so the path of least resistance for it is to follow the bullet out of the front. You want there to be lots of empty space with only the occasional obstruction (baffle) for the gas to freely flow into.
>>
>>64697430
>but are there reasons other than price/difficulty as to why a monolithic suppressor made of sintered titanium or stainless steel wouldn't work ?

Not really. "Cost" is a huge driving force in the can market.
Metal foams have been tinkered with for cans, but it all comes back to cost of manufacture well before other issues.
>>
>>64697443
>the whole thing is made of titanium or steel but with the topology of foam, and with a caliber-sized hole in the middle for the bullet?
Yep precisely. You can control the pore size and structure so that it looks like this in the center and the pores get finer/tighter towards the outside walls.
>>
>>64697462
Well imagine you have such a can. And it has a decibel reduction of x. Now transform this can into a conventional one. I.e. make the pores bigger until there’s no foam left and it’s just empty space. Now the internal volume is greater and there are no obstructions whatsoever impeding gas flow into the baffles. You can expect a decibel reduction of *at least* x, but likely quite a bit higher.

What do you think the benefit of a foam suppressor would be?

By the way, I think some people do use steel mesh inside their cans. I don’t remember what for, I want to say it’s for use with gel so the report is quieter, but I’m not sure.

Why was the Longbow in use for literally 300 years when it simply could not penetrate armor? I have watched several experiments with modern reproductions and never once has it achieved penetration of plate armor. In this latest one they can't even pen at point-blank range a late medieval brigandine and cheap Sallet helmet which was worn by poorfag troops. Rich nobles wore high-end bespoke plate made from tempered steel with every surface calculated to deflect blows and it would have zero chance against that. The amount of training that went into using the bow doesn't seem worth the results.

>>64684834
Primarily elite troops were armored enough to be immune to longbows- as others have mentioned, due to the volume of fire, even if the longbows don't penetrate- they could cause other problems for fully armored opposition.

Brings me to my other point, the English longbow obviously has trouble penetrating full plate armor and I'm sure high quality brigandine as well. But if we are talking about other forms of armor, it has no issue- not to mention, historical armor very well could have been made of lower quality materials, and been made to be functional with less material. It is difficult for modern armor smiths to make reproductions without them being completely superior to their historical counterparts.

Not as many soldiers had full protection as you think, equipping someone in that way was very expensive and laborious for all involved. Only the best or most wealthy would receive such honors.

First off, not everyone had fancy fitted plate armor. You had a lot of suits of old chainmail, brigandines, and half plate.

Second, being hit by arrows was disruptive and annoying. The English liked to provoke French charges into killing fields. Crecy, for example.

Third, armor wasn't uniformly thick. Plate armor was thickest on the head and torso but thinner on the limbs. You could still knock a man out of a fight with a hit to his sword arm.

Fourth, by the time brigandines came around you were seeing 100+ pound longbows and crossbows. Some heavy arbalests had thousand pound draws. Those hit a lot harder than the 30-60 pound bows in your vid.
>>
What are these fags trying to prove? That Agincourt or Crecy are fake history?

Clearly the longbow was an effective weapon and the English knew how to get the most out of it.

The Harlequin by Cromwell is worth a read if you want some bow kino

What's the minimum standard to train to if you are going to carry? I am not talking SOF, I am not talking some mercenary company standards.

Just something that a person can't do after 50 rounds, but 100% of people can do after 3-6 months. Think 2 plate bench / 3 plate deadlift.

I am guessing it's 2 rounds on target from rest or holster in x time. What's that x?

What's the best way to train for it?

Anyone got familiarity with Iver Johnson reproduction M1 Carbines? I've got one that wasn't in the best shape, clearly shot a lot at some point but never cleaned well (had to get a mallet to separate the fire control group from the bolt/barrel assembly). At this point, the only thing I can't figure out how to get out is the bolt. I'll post a couple of pics to help, but the gist is that, from what I can tell from this (frankly pretty shitty) manual I found online and videos about actual M1 disassembly, I should be able to rotate the bolt 90 degrees counterclockwise if I have it in the right spot, and then lift it mostly free, turn it 180 degrees clockwise to get the other lug free, and pull it out. Problem is, I can't get the bolt to turn all the way. The part of the firing pin that the hammer hits catches on this rail in the receiver before I can turn the bolt far enough to free it. Am I retarded, or do I have bigger problems?

First pic, bolt in battery from below.

You're going to have to wiggle it fore and aft a bit while turning and lifting upward.
Eventually the tail of the bolt will drop and you'll be able to lift it out.

Isn't it kind of in between steel plates?
I have seen plate like kevlar liners inside armored vehicles. But I thought that was just there to limit the shrapnel effect of stuff that manages to penetrate the armor. The material mix of composite armour nowadays should kind of prevent the shockwave from traveling through it (unlike monotonous steel), so pieces of the inner part of the armour can't just peel of and liquify your crew.

Khan was a special case. For him war was rolling into a village, killing a bunch of men, taking a bunch of concubines, taking a bunch of livestock to have a nice feast and having them pay you tribute for ever after. For most other people in history, including the Mongols after khans death, war was about being in shit conditions for long years, having all your friends die and coming home to see your wife with several children to another man.
