can iranian forces win? while they have the numbers they seem outgunned by irgc/basij so far. ive seen shotguns,pistols.. any automatic weapons are rare and the enemy has tanks and artillery they have not yet deployed.i think if they just take over key cities,roads and choke the enemy of supplies they have a shot

Not sure if this was the intent, but Puto in Spanish means faggot, and trash obviously means trash. I feel like PTA has always felt some degree of self-loathing and only now it’s starting to creep up on him. And these winter blues certainly can’t be helping him either. Whatever the case is, I hope he feels better soon. Always sad when an artist randomly gets depressed. It happens very often for some reason

Why is French firearm design so strange?
>>64723544>le or la baguette that's actually a prime example of genders in French, if it ends on a -example it's feminine and thus lathere are ofc a few exceptions but if you stick to that rule you'll get 99.99% of words right.And it's not like English hasn't got a fuck to of exceptions
>>64723563>Improving old designIdk mate half there stuff uses not just old parts but the SAME parts from older weaponsAmerica really is the leader in evolutionary improvement
>>64724409True, they’re just ugly to look at.
>>64723248When it comes to engineering there's a saying: The French copy no one and no one copies the French.
>>64723842>English is like 4 languages wrapped in oneDon't forget that a significant chunk of our vocabulary is ancient Greek. Not modern Greek, ANCIENT Greek. It's an incredibly easy language to learn and speak but it's a bitch to figure out the pronunciations in writing because you're working with 5 separate language grammars. I've heard arguments that modern English could be considered a creole language and I think that's valid.
>>64736266>>64736273Very nice set anon. I remember your wrapped Micron from a previous thread, but I don't remember seeing the wlvrn before. If you've had it for a bit now, what do you think of it vs the MDR? While I was mildly bummed they had to give up on FE otherwise it seemed like with v3 they might have finally gotten things firmed up with that gun but hard to know without hands on.
>>64734804Its pretty nice, takes some fiddling to get right. Had to file the inside so the suppressor would fit.
>>64704630This thread has had my bullpup autism raging all week and makes me want to relaunch my bullpup G3 project. I have all the parts but the reason I didn't go through with it is picrel. A G3/PTR91 without the stock is the same size as an AR with the stock collapsed to a middle setting. These both have 18" barrels, and I figure I could just get a short receiver .308 AR and it would be the same size.I want input on this. It would still be a fucking cool and unique rifle, but as far as practicality goes I feel I'd be better off just getting a Ruger SFAR since I wanted it to be a go-to rifle. This is what it would be based off, notice how far forward the ejection port is. It's naturally ambidextrous as the cases spit out far in front of your face, but it's the same length as a 16" barrel AK or AR with the stock all the way out.https://youtu.be/aMa_DcZdyEUNeed it or keep it?
>>64736380the wlvrn is nicer with the reduced weight, but there are still issues with the 308. had to drill out the gas valve a bit more to get it to run reliable with a wide variety of ammo, but its going good now.
Can I play too?

Progress is slow. Modern Hardwire-57 is about where Safariland Zero-G Black Diamond was in 2002.>but I'd like to see more variety compared to what's out there currentlyTo give Safelife credit for once, they're trying to push a robust IIIA+ hard but the areal density is high. NIJ is getting rid of IIA completely with 0101.07, so we're down to two handgun levels (HG1 = II, HG2 = IIIA). I'd like to see an HG3 that standardizes robust 5.7 / 50gr Liberty / 7.62x25 protection. I'd also like to see an RF4 good for 3x M993 so you can cert XSAPIs and an RF5 for .50 caliber AP but you can't always have what you want.>Not to obsess over icw, but think like a m210 but even thinnerRumor has it Hesco has a super-thin, no-foam one shot M855A1 plate. Very little is known about it, rumored weight is sub-3lb. Probably ICW. I don't have a model number but it could be U225. It's similar (but lighter) to the old Ceradyne MSAPI (pic rel, found on reddit) which is an ICW, very thin single strike 7.62x39 BZ API plate in the sub-4lb range. One of the rarer "SAPI family" members. Was replaced by the LTC 28720 in the early 2010s, which is thicker but more robust. I don't think the MSAPI has drop foam.I know people tend to egg on "Hesco rumors" but we did find out the Hesco 3885, the old /bag/ legend, exists. It's apparently the SC3812 and is about where it was expected. 3.8lb, RF2 + M855A1 SAPI M. 3.6lb if it were a 10x12.>Now if only we could get it to fold.Ceraflex says hello. Tencate had flexible rifle armor rated to stop M993 (Ceraflex PL-7300) twenty years before Dragonskin got unfucked, and I'm not even sure if that's so. I just know it's allegedly part-Chinese.
Last piece of armor autism for now. Pic related is a table of Ceradyne ICW IIIA plates belonging to the IMP/ACT family, which was the second-shelf stuff. This is from 2004.

Look communism sucks, but sometimes it has success stories.Turns out when you have quality east germans under your control and a communist quota system that requires a certain reasonable production quantity but not a profit motivation to make it as cheap as possible, sometimes you get lots of good materials. Then lots of solid things made of those materials.China fails in this because those same companies do business for profit with somebody. So the motivation to cheapen materials to stretch it into more is always present.Soviet commie blocks are built like US government buildings. In the US only the government gets similar build quality.Interesting the consider that during the Cold War Soviet citizens lived in commie blocks that would still be standing short distances away and would provide significant radiation shielding while US citizens would have been in lightly constructed buildings destroyed 3-5x further away than a commieblock while shielding very little radiation.

>>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.

>>64736238That "second ammendment" mentality of "defending freedoms" is extremely rare here in Chile. I'd say other than a few libertarians we mostly roll our eyes at it. After all we're not allowed to keep actual combat useful guns like AR-15s. For us guns seem to be an exclusive priviledge that is maintained by good standing as a citizen, and are to be used exclusively for home defense, sport or hunting, not some silly notion of "defending our freedoms".
I was wondering if there was anything like the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base, but for knives. It turns out there's two, but with very little content.https://imkdb.fandom.com/wiki/IMKDB_Wikihttps://immwdb.fandom.com/wiki/Internet_Movie_Melee_Weapons_Data_Base_Wiki I was thinking if there's any knife or sword autists left here, they could lend their weaponised weapons autism to these sites?
>>64725141I would raipu herDidn't know about the knife DBBut even IMFDB is kinda slow.
>>64719159Knife autist here. Alot of movie knives are custom and then become mass produced in various forms because of the popularity of the movie, see Rambo 3. Problem with identifying the knife in movies is that they rarely show a closeup and it could be one of 50 similarly shaped knives. Even the Buck 110, one of the most popular knives looks alot like those Made in Pakistan knives so you can't really tell if it's a Buck. The most identifiable knife from afar would be the Tom brown tracker, but that was only used in one movie where Tom brown consulted in.
>>64719971That makes sense in cartoons because all you need to do is draw whatever you think looks cool, but custom knives are a rather extreme alternative to simply buying a commonplace, real knife.
>>64719159>Internet Movie Firearms Data Base,huh, after all these years, I learn what imdb stands for
What was Kano's knife in the old Mortal Kombat? It was a Gil Hibben, either the Raptor or the Raven...And the knife the bad guy had in Under Siege 2. I think Seagal had a rubber casting of a Mad Dog knife, but the main bad guy, or at least his dragon, had something else.Was it Jet Li's Bodyguard from Beijing where the bad guy used a cruciform PRC SKS spike bayonet?Leon Kennedy's starting knife in the Resident Evil 4 remake is some kind of bayonet.The knives from the bathhouse fight in Eastern Promises were lino knives.David Cronenberg as Decker had a big knife collection in NightBreed. I know he had a favourite one that was a plastic prop, but I'd love to see some kind of attempt at a mass ID, like they did with Heath Ledger's Joker.

Had the short nugget with side folding bayonet, and my favorite was the Enfield no4 and a matching Webley revolver. Lost all of the long guns when my friend's storage was broken into while in the army. Only recently did I find another Enfield for under $500 and gun broker became a joke website. Though I do miss the mad lads who would do shit like turning a Russian rebreather into a makeshift closed loop scuba system.
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.
>>64736765They should annex Brunei and build their silos there as well as in Penang, Malaysia (annexed). As they are now, they are too weak to resist China. They need credible deterrence via nuclear capability.
>>64736765do it
>>64736726They are building six. A flattop is pointless when you consider that Singapore's mainland is like 50km across and its furthest island is like 40km offshore, there's no power projection needed.
>>64736743singapore IS chinese....
>>64736893This is precisely the sentiment that exist in China and therefore Singapore needs nuclear subs armed with nuclear cruise missiles off the sea of Japan and the south china sea to nuke the fuck out of China if necessary.

What's the best cap and ball revolver? Are they suitable for home defence?
>>64691929Everybody knows the best home defense weapon is a blunderbuss loaded with random trash to shoot at intruders
>>64691929>are they suitable for home defense?No. Even though every military adopted them and people carried them all the time for personal defense these actually can’t be used to defend yourself. Just leave your car keys by the front door so the home invader can take them and leave without hopefully hurting you.
>>64692600Why is your drawer sopping wet?
Best cap and ball revolver is an 1958 Remington New Model Army, hands down. Whatever barrel length you feel like.Are the good for home defense? Fuck no lmao but if you're a felon it's better than nothing I guess and the quick change cylinders on the 1858 make reloading in a firefight at least somewhat feasible.
>>64734195Hey I agree with you 1000 except for one thing - barrel length R E A L L Y makes or breaks velocity on BP .44s. Velocity is energy. Energy is Lethality. Lethality is Safety (yours not fuckheads). If we are talking home defense I, repeat I would hate to see anybody use anything less then an 8" barrel. And if you can spend the money, GET A 12" BARREL 1858. Pietta™ 1858 Remington Buffalo Black Powder Revolver - .44 Caliber 12" Barrel Brass Frame w/ Blued Barrel - RGC44If you just standard-load the thing and do the candle - drip thing on the balls and on the nipples - you're set. Throw it in a drawer, fire it clean it, oil it, reload it once a year = stop worrying now.
Munitions Council anon here. >>64332511 >>64604791Over the past 24h, Trump and defense contractors have made a ton of announcements that are independent of Munitions Council developments, doubling upon the already increased 2027 2-4x baseline that was targeted by the Munitions Council back in September. So up to a 5-8x increase from 2024.For Lockheed Martin we have not just PAC-3 MSE from 620/y to 2,000/y but also>THAAD from 98/y to 400/y>PrSM 400/y to 2,000/y>JASSM/LRASM from 1,100/y to 3,300/yThese are the conversations LM is having with the Pentagon. Raytheon is expected to follow suit as Trump is lighting a fire under their ass. If THAAD is seeing a quadrupling, we might actually get 100 SM-3s a year and 500+ SM-6s by 2027. Also cannot forget LM's JATM, 1000 missiles. Now. I'm calling it.https://defensearchives.com/news/pentagon-seeks-over-300-increase-in-pac-3-mse-production-from-lockheed-martin/
