What makes halberds so good? I've heard they're the best polearm, but not why.
>>65033238Yes, as flankers, banner guards, and to push when shit devolved into bad war- which would involve the pikes being interleaved or dropped and the pikemen gutting each other with swords and daggers. They adopted the pike because the halberd was a bad choice when facing cavalry who dismounted and came at them with their lances, because the halberd isn't very good at that sort of fighting compared to a long spear or pike.>>65033257Post examples of this actually occuring. In order to do this, you have the major problem of the pikemen outreaching you and having a substantially more nimble weapon, so they'll just stab you. You flank them by going around and actually hitting their flanks, where you can kill them and not just fuck around trying to yank their pikes around.
>>65028325That sounds like complete horseshit just like "blood grooves" in swords.
>>65033631>they didn't use halberds>well they did but that doesn't countlmao at you

If, hypothetically, you had to seize and extract 1000 pounds of this stuff 300 miles behind enemy lines for a bombed-out hole in the ground, how would you do it?
>>65024196>how would you do it?Very carefully.All joking aside, you'll want it in properly shaped and sized containers to keep it in a non-critical configuration. Part of that will require keeping the containers an appropriate distance from one another. You'll also want to pay close attention to what's holding those bottles, as hydrogenous materials will function as neutron moderators and could possibly trigger a prompt criticality. The specifics would be dictated by the level of enrichment.>note: nearby humans make excellent neutron moderators
>>65024287Ouchi indeed
>>65024196is pouring enough concrete to fill in the hole completely an option?
Trump is actually going to do it.
>>65029863Yeah you could absolutely entomb it. But that would require an onsite concrete factory, and it would be a temporary solution

>>65034352They both voiced concerns to the retard and he ignored them. Here's what's going to happen: >He's going to continue moving troops to the strait>continue claiming that negotiations are ongoing>this is a lie>when "negotiations" ultimately fall through, claim that military force is necessary and start the attack>being too late to back out, the idea is that congress will vote on an AUMF authorizing the war the President started unilaterally This is the plan.
This probably has been asked a lot, but are bolters realistic? And if they could exist, would they be as good at penetrating armor as the tabletop game suggests?
>>65032145They'd instantly stop and get clogged.
>>65031722He really isn't. Had some video a while ago that he had to stop making videos because he was going to the doctor too much. He thought he had testosterone deficiency because he's 33 and still looks 18, but it turns out his test levels are literally off the scale, which, combined with his looking 18, means something is going fucky wucky in his endocrine system. Idk if he's done a medical update since.
>>65034030>he's 33Holy crackers really
>>65032813Not sure about the smaller ones but the two handers, otherwise known ad eviscerators have rudimentary disruption field generators(the thing power weapons use to cut through pretty much anything)that presumably aid in keeping them running no matter what you hit with it.

thirdes and flyovers do not know the pain of trying to clean you AR-15 with a pull through when it has one of these gay ass "not an A2 flash hider" muzzle breaks pinned to the barrel

>>65031002>worst>not IPA
Fellow NJ fag here. Sounds like you fell for the ole “if your pinky fits, it’s a flash hider” fuddlore. I just had my LGS pin and weld pic related from PSA. It’s marketed as a muzzle brake and besides, the law is unconstitutional and likely to be struck down soon anyway.No one is checking your muzzle device bro
>>65034324it's that fucking pixelated on the manufacturer's site for some reason >>65034341the one I have came pinned and welded to the barrel from the factory
>>65034344Ah, fair enough, I was building a budget build PSA stinker of an AR. They ship the uppers with A2 flash hiders so I popped that off and for posterity just grabbed the cheapest one labeled brake.Debating on building another rifle or a non-NFA “other” with the vertical fore grip and brace. Less restriction there for dumb AWB accessories.Enjoy your night fellow armpit of America residents!

Saudi Arabia will no longer buy US weapons, according to MBS after Trump insulted him. Whose weapons will they buy? South Korea or Europeans ones?
>>65033293>Guys, Trump was just a little excursion we swear!! Yeah we voted him in for a 2nd time and a large swath of the country support everything he does but we'll go back to Obama neo-liberalism!!!It's over dog lol. Just because your political leaders are retards who can't see past a week, doesn't mean other countries are the same

>>65033984a) deporting illegals is good and okay (but economy doesn't really want it);b) creating a bootleg SS filled with retards for it, harassing locals and legal migrants, putting people in retarded detention, shipping off people to some bootleg gulag which isn't even their country of origin, is definitely retarded and not okay;
>>65033984true, but he threw a ton of fuel onto the fire by turning it into a media circus and letting ICE act like niggers instead of just quietly getting rid of the damn mexicans. also no laws have been passed to stop future dem administrations from letting them all back in and the deadline to pass anything is quickly approaching.>>65033990the prequels have good ideas and a lot of heart, but they are definitely not good movies. they would've been great if lucas had some tard wranglers to keep him in check
>>65033998>but they are definitely not good moviesThey are good movies, they aren't "omg movies" which the retards remember the original trilogy from back when they were kids and more impressionable.
>>65033998>also no laws have been passed to stop future dem administrations from letting them all back inIf republicucks did that, they wouldn't be able to campaign on this again the next time

How the fuck do you stop the Houthi? I'm sick of them camping out in the mountains and periodically crashing my portfolio. What weapons does it take?
>>65026836>A country 1/5 the size of America only has 1/5 the oil of AmericaOh so they're oil rich? Ahem quick question a little point of order perhaps: how many illegal foreign shit skins does Iran have to take care of? None? You mean they're as oil rich as us without hemorrhaging out $ for invaders?They sound like they'd be fine.Robonigger how many engineering graduates do the USA and Iran produce each year?5. Iran: 233,695 graduates. According to Forbes, 70% of the graduates are alleged to be women, which would suggest that they have the most women engineer graduates in the world. 4. The United States: 237,800. InsiderMonkey.com claims that only one in every 20 students majors in engineering in the US of A. Then remember they're picking on meritocracy who gets to go to school and we're choosing based on how melinated your vagina is.All of our problems are internal.
>>65033808>I think we could protect them for the most partThey used an entire years of missile production in the first 2 days. The Ukrainians were absolutely horrified to watch the arab retards launch $2 million missiles at $35,000 drones. There's not the physical ordinance to do what you want. It's been wasted in Ukraine and stealing missiles from Taiwan and South Korea is only ensuring Taiwan making an inevitable deal with China. I hope you guys take good care of your devices and upgraded before the recent price spike because it's so fucking over.

Whats the most stupid thing you know someone has done whit a weapon?(dont mind the photo, I dont have anything else)
my dad bought an ar15 from a coworker who tried to diy it into a machinegun and then handed it to me knowing this and didn't tell me.
Someone practiced getting my handgun out of my nightstand and aiming it at my bedroom door while laying down in the dark and ND'd into the door. (it was me)
>>65033143A one contract vet with no deployments, he fired an AR model he owned with a cleaning rod in the barrel. Might be the smartest thing he's ever done with a weapon on his own time.In the late 90s he overdosed on stupid plastic bodky kits that broke during firing and all kinds of shit. He got a magazine so sandwiched into a Jennings (yes be bought one) it became one with the (help me here I don't know pistols at all) slide assembly? Like the top of the lips just got mashed right into that part.I never shot with him, a friend of a friend. He's done so much stupid shit I don't know how he lives through a shower.
>>65034003so what was the stupid part?

Since the Iran war is so controversial, let's think about a war absolutely nobody would have a problem with. This morning, the President of the United States has tasked you with preforming a great service to humanity: The invasion of India. What happens to them after the war is up to you, if you'd like to genocide them, balkanize them or maybe try to make them into a functioning country or whatever. The objectives from the POTUS are fairly straight forward.>The destruction of the Indian military>The destruction or control of their nuclear weapons (They do have a nuclear triad so, it's important that's nipped in the bud before any issues arise)>The Pacification of the Indian civilian population. Through any means necessary.ITT we talk about how we would go about destroying India and what we'd do after they've been defeated. You can go about it anyway you want, not just a military campaign - be it a direct intervention; inciting a civil war through espionage or economically.

OP you're probably a Paki (the same thing) but between you and them you guys really can't readily nuke each other out of existence since your delivery systems are mediocre.>On one hand this is good for humanity since you're less likely to start WW3>On the other hand you guys shit up the internetWhy not consider gangbanging China instead if you want to commit murder-suicide?

>>65034281It'd be funny if there actually was a dude in UCP in there because there totally could be, but so far as I know it's just a landscape pic. Basically UCP works better in southern Idaho than just about anywhere else on earth. It's the entire reason I still have my old UCP crap. That particular biome is an outright perfect color match most of the year. UCP is absolutely steaming ass in most places (unless you dye it), but in that sort of stuff you'd be a ghost. It's the only place UCP is going to shit all over just about any other pattern you can find. It's about as universal as a G11's internals.>>65034292Lot of southern Idaho and southeastern Oregon are great examples. It's all high desert but the biome is dominated by dry grasses and sagebrush.

>>65017000>>65019927>>65032003What do you think of the idea of switching to bullpup rifles? I hope Vietnam one day standardizes to bull pup rifles given that they rely on under-barrel grenade launchers.Bull pup rifle shifts a portion of the weight near the user. This makes the rifle less heavy as there's less torque acting on the user. Simply put:Torque = distance (at a pivot) * ForceYou can feel the difference in torque when you straighten your arm out and hold a bag. Even though the bag is the same weight, holding it with your hand compared to with your shoulder feels different due to torque.Given that the traditional rifle is front heavy, attaching an under-barrel grenade launcher adds more to this effect and makes the rifle feel much heavier. A bull pup reliefs this issue by balancing the weight. The weight of the under-barrel grenade launcher is mitigated by the weight distribution of a bull pup rifle. Comment too long.
