>>64736407kek
I'm not a military expert, but the bits that I recall1. lots of WW2 veterans were alive during the formation of the state and those early successful wars2. even though US didn't start supporting the state until much later, they still got early support and vehicles from France or something IIRC3. most wars israel was winning through air superiority, it's the air force that was great, not the army, which was and is of average western quality4. "average western quality" was still miles ahead of any state that surrounded israel even with tons of latest at the time soviet equipment
Because they are God's chosen people.

>>64733961>Who else is excited about going shooting this weekend? Five rounds with an IPSC silhouette at 10 yards is the function test for my EDC. I also have these diameter targets for the PP drill: six rounds single-handedly at seven yards with no time limitsit's 10 yards per the challenge
>>64734163I’ve worked for 1 local and 3 fed agencies. In my experience, they will solicit bids on the ammo they want and that’s what it is. If you’re carrying an approved primary or backup weapon, they’ll usually specify the ammo to carry. One exception my last agency issued 165 gr. Winchester BJHP’s and one qual they gave us 165 Gold Dots that another agency donated. When I was last OTJ I worked with an ICE guy who carried a POW G17 bc they were using the P229 in .40 back then.

At first it will be bloody as some will have to be sacrificed to prove that this is not a bluff, but once the message is out that “deez ypipo ain’t playin’ no games” then they will get in line.Were you born yesterday?Seriously. Were you? Why does everyone here disregard history and precedent when proposing their totally-novel solution of just sending some new flavor of vigilante gasser-flamethrower deathsquad of not-confederates here?Just shut up already. Whatever new horror of botched repression you have in mind only seems right because you think the problem is just people not being scared enough.Not the case. God, you're the worst kind of pussy.
>>64736464> Not the caseSo enlighten me. What is the case? They don’t couple well, their economic niche is gibs and theft and so they have to be forced into a higher energy state. Sure, they’ll be more uncomfortable there, but Atleast their behavior will not be destructive. Do you propose the culprit is some newspeak nonsense like generational trauma? Is the solution just to rob and kill white people?
>>64736530>So enlighten me. What is the case?Post-slavery, Southerners wanted free labor, but they couldn't use slaves "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted", so they weaponized the law. Renting out labor afterwards drove their economy. This became a full industry, driving migration northward.Later, the state saw the Civil Rights leaders maintaining multiple interconnected militias across the populated parts of the country large enough to challenge it, then linking with poor whites, questioning capitalism, and flirting with black internationalism. Massively spooked, so it spread drugs around and criminalized them to erode power via mass incarceration. Kids and adults alike were taken, and the women were manipulated to produce and gut bastards on the largest scale the world had ever seen. The armed groups were maligned, infiltrated, set against each other, and used to burn manpower. Meanwhile, taxpayer funding mechanisms intentionally isolated majority-black neighborhoods, and the private sector offered few real opportunities. Lobbyists worked to maintain the prison pipeline, even after the manpower and energy of the population had burned out. In the absence of a legitimate state and court, law became a private luxury, and each time an alternative appeared, the state was required to stomp it out so as not to feed a separatist movement. DAs are trying to change opinions with lenient applications now. They hope the fish will bite now and play their game instead of supporting organizations the state can't tolerate.>They don’t couple well, their blah blahDo subhumans like you ever have an original thought? KYS."Muh neo-kkk" won't solve the problem. It only reinforces the illegitimacy of the state and makes people pray for gangsters to rise up and protect them because they remember a time when they could and don't understand why they can't anymore. Also, everyone learned you can scare klan men off with gunfire.

Why does everyone hate black rifle coffee company?

Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.
>>64734446I've got bad news about a shitload of the English vocabulary, anon.And Louisiana

>>64735320Nigger you are too dumb to even follow what I’m saying. You said JHPs don’t reliably expand. That was true 30 years ago. Not today.As for OPs question, I asked him to post - pistol groups at 25 yards to answer his question. Absolutely shocked I got no response. > 45 is slightly larger than .36Correct. Weight has no bearing in this context since FMJ since both get plenty of penetration for the scenario described by OP. >muh gelI didn’t bring up gel tests. You did. Go ahead and try to show real world wound channels between 230gr .45 FMJ and 147gr (or even 115 or 124) 9mm FMJ where they have similar shot placement in similar tissue (people, animals, whatever).We’re giving you shit because you’re acting like .45 is special for being “naturally subsonic”. Our counter arguments are so are many other calibers that are just as easy or easier to get. If you want to argue .45>9mm, ok. But that’s a different thread completely.

>>64736392Well that's no fun when you just signed a strategic partnership with themi mean, you'd sort of want that to stop being bullied
>>64735760they'd do quite a bit of damage, but it'll be contained to the immediate area of the hit. they impact over mach 10, which is when shit instantly explodes upon impact.it's basically just a realistic way that you'd make "rods of god", as accuracy will never be pinpoint, so the more kinetic penetrators, the better.

>>64733719That magazine looks oddly short for 40 rounds of 5.56. How come PMAG 40s are so insanely long?>>64734239>the Indian equivalentDoes anyone even know anything about 5.56 MINSAS? I remember seeing one specimen in a video once and it seemed to be almost identical to 5.56 MARS. So close, that the Indians actually plagiarized Nathaniel Fitch’s picture of the MARS in one of their military documents, passing it off as the MINSAS.>>64734205Make the grip out of steel and EDM the magwell, and you can feed a COAL of ~1.85” within a comfortable grip. That’s 221 fireball. And if you really wanted you can widen the case head, since there’s still room for a wider case without affecting grip comfort. 7.62x39 can be duplicated (with 110gr bullets) double stacked and fed through the grip. 5.7x28 and 4.6x30mm are nowhere near the limit of what is possible with mag-in-grip guns,But yes, 5.56 MARS would go hard as fuck in an mp7. Way better than the diminutive 5.7
>why can't everything be an ar15god you guys are boring
>>64735076Similar mag length. But the gap between trigger guard and mag makes it look more proportionate than a 40rd AR's bar graph of 200% mag right next to 100% grip.
>all the 5.7 haters seething cuz its STANAG now>>64731847There isnt much load dev on 5.7 because its a bitch to load for.>tiny cases>high pressures>special coatingAll that and neck seperation and pocket failure for reloaders.

What do you think about the MRCV concept? It's apparently a "frigate"Singapore built and has launched the hull of class leader RSS Victory. It's 8400 tonnes. About as much as a burke.
>>64736517Given Singapore's defense budget for 2025 is about 30% that of Japan's, they could absolutely scale up and get 15 destroyers and 1 carrier. But they refuse and got these meme floating drone carriers.
>>64736505Yeah it's adapted from a preexisting hull with already proven cap, so it's faster to develop. It's not like they're adapting it from the ground up with new capabilities. All power to the USN etc but we don't have the money nor the industrial capability to build new testbed platforms, we have to adapt euro ones.As said, it's not a VLS platform. It's a unmanned mothership vessel, intended to also have frigate capabilities (it matches the previous la fayette equivs).>>64736506>>64736560Singapore's navy also fulfils most country's coast guard duties, so it's also intended for peacetime and policing roles into the Andaman and the SCS. Also, there is no point in having a carrier and 15 destroyers when the island is surrounded by other countries' territorial waters and there is no manpower to fill them (country is ~4mil citizens).
>>64736560Singapore could have been the Venetian empire of modern times and get themselves a crap ton of destroyers and carriers but instead they are investing in IFVs. It's sad stuff honestly. They would have been a real credible deterrence against China but instead are confined to the strait due to them refusing to invest in a blue water capable navy.
>>64736574>there is no manpower to fill them (country is ~4mil citizens).Venice had 3.3k ships each with each war galley having 200 men. Their population was fewer than 200k. You telling me you can't crew 15 destroyers with a population of 4 million? Fuck off
>>64736590Of those 3.3k ships a good 200 of them were war galleys. Singapore absolutely could crew enough destroyers to contest the south china sea.

Maybe they just were gay. This story is as old as Sparta itself.
this thing will probably be the best all-rounder daylight optic for the foreseeable future.throw a dot on top and you're set. what more could you ask for?
Would have been cooler if it were a 2-6 and if they released an enclosed EFLX or a ring mount setup that is ready for enclosed mini red dots like ACRO or 509T etc.
If you want a fighting rifle get a prism.
>>64733517unequivocally based
>>64733790An integrated red dot is a great idea. Seems overdue. Put the turrets on the side, make the top of the LPVO (including the lens) flat-ish, and you could incorporate a low profile red dot with a reasonable height over bore. No im not describing the Leupold DEVO.
>>64733517>>64733795why are you an acog poor? Elcan spectre 1-4 is life
How the fuck do you even make mechs make tactical sense?They present a high as fuck target, have these thin chicken legs with a million moving parts, exert ludicrous ground pressure. They cost probably as much as a nuclear submarine, are limited by line of sight, would be fucked up by a tank, couldn't touch a modern jet that could kill it from 30000 feet high and 10 miles away etc.Like how the hell do you bend the rules of your universe to make these I wouldn't be sperging out about this if Battletech was lemonade sci-fi running on the rule of cool and the power of friendship, but its intended audience was milsim autists who willingly bought hundred-page pretend technical manuals for these pieces of garbage.
>>64736332Yeah but that wasn't until 3044 and even after that it was expensive as balls.
>>64736395Still a hell of a lot cheaper than the mech it destroys, it's about 150,000 or so C-Bills per missile but even a locust will be costing you 1.5 million C-Bills.
