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.
>>64697462Well 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.
>>64697501Mesh has been used for a very long time. Either wrapped around a center ported bleed tube, or as stacks of discs.Here's a diagram of the well known OSS .22 silencer for the HighStandard HD/Military

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.https://youtu.be/SFFgcTzCvMo
>>64684834Primarily 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.
>>64684857>archers who would not normally be under attack nigga...
>>64685032No one does, that's what is funny.Everyone in a (historical) thread like this is full of shit. It's impossible to know, without going back in time.
>>64684834First 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

A dragon has claimed your city and is snatching up citizens to be part of its treasure hordeHow would you, an ordinary citizen, take it out with only the weapons available to you? It has tough scales, can fly, spew fire, and is large enough to swallow a person whole. What can you do with the weapons and ordinance of a single civilian to kill it?

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?
I like the dot torture method that has you practicing a little bit of everything. >shooting from concealment >strong hand>support hand It's a good warm up for any range session. >target transitions>shoot and reload

Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel 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.
>>64697346Second pick, also from below, with bolt rotated in position for removal. The firing pin obstruction is the reddish-brown piece and pretty prominent.
>>64697350Third pic, bolt in removal position from above.
>>64697346You'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.

>>64697347I think I finally understand what makes channels enjoyable to me, and it really is just an autist excited to show you shit he's passionate about. Channels that suck shit are the ones trying to sell themselves as a character or influencer. I noticed this when watching watch modders and builders. Some of them are just autistic retards talking about the minutiae of a movement, whereas we have other faggots doing edits showing their stupid fucking face and trying to give you a montage of them thinking or some dumb shit. IV8888 is just a fat redneck with a high school education that worked at a store and for a second got to dream about being anything but that, but that is all he is, and he really wants you think otherwise. Hell, his channel name is him trying to portray himself as a vetbro coolguy, even though he was a basic bitch 11C. Paul, on the other hand, was just himself.

>>64685708>Chobam/hybrid ceramic is externalIsn'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.

>>64696470A "failure" that forced much greater expenses on the Germans than North Africa ever did.
