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.

>>64738875> offensive EWARAnti-radiation seekers exist…
>>64739088Yes. They're called Listen-Kill seekers in Battletech. They're obsolete because they're explicitly countered by the basic electronic warfare suites (as long as those are patched for it) in every combat unit, to the point of performing exactly the same as standards SRM/LRM seekers while being ~double the cost.
>>64722389you forgot probably the most important part on why a battletech mech could work. The space magic ablative armor they have that makes penetrating hits basically impossible without completely destroying the armor protecting it. without the armor mechs would get dumpstered by the first ATGM they come across.

Realistically how would you counter it?
>>64733622Markov...
>>64728277Mostly yes. The biggest issue is that since the game went through developmental HELL all the cutscenes and missions are basically telling two separate stories. The DLC missions don't have this problem and also have one of the most entertaining antagonists you'll ever have the privilege of blowing up.

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.
>>64738432if the job is unarmed just don't get caughtrecently someone retarded left their pistol in the guard shack and another guard found it and made a big stink about iti dont think they got fired, but still just dont be a retard about what you carrykeep in concealed unless youre literally meant to be armed
>>64738432>>64738994It's a felony for an unarmed security guard to carry a gun for some reason. I guess they aren't allowed to defend themselves if someone pulls a gun on them.
>>64739015>It's a felony for an unarmed security guard to carry a gun for some reasonThat doesn't make any sense. You're probably misunderstanding, i.e. it's illegal for a security guard to carry in a Federal building, because it's illegal for anyone to carry in a Federal building.The whole point of unarmed security is that they are unarmed. They are hired specifically for that reason, either because weapons are not allowed on the premises period, or because they don't want the liability that comes with armed security. I'd expect that if you got caught carrying while working an "unarmed" security job you'd get fired faster than you could blink, because the insurance policies that underwrite everything require you to be unarmed.
>>64726521If they have a job where they move heavy shit, like a mechanic for example, then they have to wear them. Infantry, medic, artillery, or whatever wont be typically wearing steel or composite toe because the extra weight. They typically go for the boots that are basically high top sneakers. I had Belleville ultralights and they were goated as fuck. Still the best boots ive ever worn. Otherwise they start to feel like bricks tied to your feet.

Why isn't Russia putting explosives in their "advanced" super sonic missiles? This is the second time the "oreshnik" missiles have been used and they were empty again. I read they're very expensive, limited. People theorizing they were out of them already.
>>64736717A hypersonic missile wouldn't even need explosive warheads to do some serious damage. Even if it was carrying bricks, they'd hit like, well, a ton of bricks.
>>64739064>hitAnd there's your problem LMAO.

We all know what a typical chamber pressure plots look like, pic related.We also know that the bullet energy is basically the area under the plot.Now, why don't we make a combination powder with fast + slow powder so instead of a triangular shape the pressure curve looks more like a rectangle? This way we can maintain high chamber pressures all the way until the muzzle. We could achieve significant area under the curve increases with this, as much as +50% compared to traditional powders that have very little pressure left over by the time the bullet gets to the muzzle.
>>64738767>Now, why don't we make a combination powder with fast + slow powder>What is modern double base propellantsAnon you understand that triple and polybase propellants are actually experimented on, right?
>>64738767>make a combination powder with fast + slow powderBack in the day before we had the selection of powders we have today people did exactly that. go read up on the original .454 Casull load, it was a layering of 3 different powders in the case.Nowadays we engineer powders to have different burn profiles. It's more complicated than just "fast" vs "slow". Look closely at smokeless "powder" and it's not really powder at all, it's tiny little flakes, spheres, donuts, sticks, lobed sticks, hollow tubes, or other funny little shapes. It also has coatings on it. All of that is done to give it the right combination of "fast" and "slow" for a given purpose.
