Consider the pervasiveness of data collection on firearms enthusiasts through government/corporate surveillance; any purchased component of something that is weaponizable is an automatic leak/red flag to the system.Your precious hydraulic tubes are all being watched and recorded as to who is buying them.This begs the question; are you a bad enough dude to forge your own barrels? How about homemade metallurgy and casting? Treatment of existing shapes to make them strong enough to withstand pistol pressure, let alone rifle pressure? If you can't source your own barrels in a way that doesn't arouse suspicion, then attempting avoiding surveillance through manufacturing your own weapons is impossible.Until this major hurdle is addressed, those championing 3d printing of weapons as a meaningful tool of political resistance are totally unserious and are shilling you gadgets.Also unaddressed is mass production and raw materials sourcing, enough to arm and supply a squad, let alone a platoon or battalion.The real force is not merely the gun, but the logistics behind it that deliver and supply more ammunition to enable it to keep shooting.

Why would the Government issue Leon a zigger hand cannon when there are no giant BOWs to deal with in the past decade
>>65046738The DSO and BSAA work together at times. Leon even complains over how long it took for Chris's team to arrive in Raccoon City. You don't think Chris shared any info over what went down in Mother Miranda's village?And that's not even getting into the canon status of the animated movies.
>>65046738Leon's looks custom made, so he probably saw one when he was in that fictional slav country in that movie and asked Kendo to make him one when he got back to the states.

>>65042567The Russians figured out how to bolt MANPADS onto shaheds. Those balloons could get popped very easily by a leading drone, poking a hole in the netting for an entire wave to go through Also you can just fly above them lmao

>>65042567First of, if you set it up like this you will get fucked by wind.You need to anchor your blimps with diagonal ropes so they cannot drift.Secondly, that's alot of very long rope and blimps can't carry shit.Some back of the envolope maths will probably invalidate the entire setup.And even if you could do it, the obvious solution is>make the drones fly 200 meters higher
I'm working on a sci-fi universe and I want to know which spaceplane concept would be the most practical among all concepts and implementations for fighters, bombers, transports, reconnaissance, helicopters, and other military or fleet aircraft across Army, Navy, and Air Force roles. I am open to including the rule of cool as a factor in the decisionPart 1: >>64971918
>>65043436>Fighters>a similar role to being gunboats in space but with missilesIn space you do not need to get physically close to a target, as long as the projectile was given the velocity needed, the projectile will keep going until it reach the target.Meaning you are only talking of a reusable first stage that don't move anywhere far, like literally next door, and those wouldn't need to be manned.Weapon range in space go so far, unimpeded by air, that "space fighter" do not increase range like airfighter would on a gas-planet.>dogfightingMeaningless concept they have no hope of maneuvering hard enough to avoid anything, especially not laser.Since "space fighter" do not propel themselves in a different medium, they are subject to all the limitation of any other warship.Since they'll need nuclear propulsion to have any decent range (for other use) they are essentially just minimal warship.The concept of "carrier", if it would exist in space, cannot apply the same.At most this is a support ship meant to carry life-support & extra fuel for "minimal warship". Meaning it doesn't necessarily need to have the size or importance of any surface-warfare-aircraft-carrierComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>65043753>If it's stupid and it works...>>65043782>well it doesn't work, but what actually works is the reverse, which is only slightly less "stupid" if you think about it>but what actually worksIn space? (sarcasm)The ISS have been grabbing spacecraft using the Canadarm and docking them for decades.THAT is what work.>the helicopter "grabs" the ship by throwing down a cable, which is then winched in.This is done because the ship move a lot and the helicopter being lighter, faster to maneuver, is the one who will adapt its speed as it see fit.A sea ship can also accept a landing so long as the aircraft is roughly on the platform.In space, a space station/carrier is (basically) immobile, a smaller craft can be easily grabbed, saving precious propellant, and docking it would require precision anyway.In fact, the RCS thruster needed to move a big ship would be so dangerous to point at any structure or ship (can't afford any real armor) so IMO it would be standard process to use arms & frame to grab and dock ANY vessel that way.

Is this a good move or a desperate move?Are the Russians smarter or dumber than them for not using children?Are children even useful for modern warfare?
>>65046161Fuck off ESL.
>>65045615Using children to fight your battle proves the desperation the pariah state exists in. The battle has already been lost. In this case, it's a good thing.

Just bought this little bastard for 140$ but i dont know how i should sharpen my straight razors with it. Should i have the wheel turning towards the edge or towards the spine? Should i just try to do modified x strokes?
>>65046017you havent given any advice at all helping op learn to sharpen. youve just autistically corrected other people on minor technicalities.theres nothing to learn from you.
>>65042606>hold the correct angle at the correct pressure, steady>run the blade across the grind surface long enough to correct the edge and raise a burr>flip to other side and grind it in a shorter amlunt of time to remove burr and make an even bladeMuch easier said than done.
>>65045866this thread is nothing compared to actual razor autism. there are people who consider taping the spines for honing to be something on the same level as the taliban blowing up the buddhas of bamiyan
>>65046017I haven't made any mistakes. You did, by thinking I don't know the difference between a bench grinder and a knife sharpener. When I elaborated the context in which my response was given (OP obviously being a novice and trying to do something finicky) you went into tism induced tirade because you can't into context. >>65046027 This anon summed it up nicely

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.

How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
>>65043428>.45 AutoWas never a blackpowder cartridge at any stage, the case volume and lack of a rim wouldn't have been considered suitable for revolvers..45 Auto was devised as a way to MIMIC THE PERFORMANCE of the old M1887 Military Ball cartridge (which was basically a fusion of the .45 Colt and .45 Schofield so as to work in both S&W and Colt revolvers), BUT, this was ALWAYS as a smokeless and rimless cartridge for a future automatic pistol (which eventually was the 1911).>9mm LugerNever a blackpowder cartridge either, again because of case volume and lack of a rim. 9mm Luger was a necked up version of 7.65mm Luger, a bottlenecked pistol cartridge (something you didn't do in this way for a blackpowder pistol cartridge).Further, 7.65mm Luger was essentially a shortened version of the 7.65mm Borchardt cartridge before it, also smokeless.>.30-30 WinchesterThis is an artifact of the name, Winchester never loaded this cartridge for blackpowder, and they in fact never called it .30-30 themselves, to them it was ".30 Winchester Center Fire" and it was competitors not wanting to write Winchester on their guns who started with the name .30-30 (which was distinct sounding from other established cartridges).>.303 BritishActually DID start out as a blackpowder cartridge, so that's correct, though the plan was always to load it with a smokeless gunpowder eventually, they just wanted to work out their powder and the Lee Metford/Enfield rifles as best they could before loading it. You could call it a sort of transitional cartridge.
>>65043771Look into the suppressor on the VSS/AS Val, it's literally washers welded to a set of rods at different angles shoved into a tube, pic related. Might give you more to work on for the logistics or design itself. That one specifically is integral, but the principle of the baffle design is the same.It'd be effective to a point, but nowhere near a lot of the more modern designs, especially for the length needed and whatever cartridge you use (unless it's one designed for suppression like 9x39). Because those specific suppressors are also integral, you'd have a bit worse of performance than them unless you go integral as well, but you would have something to start to further work with if you wanted to otherwise.
>>65044245>It'd be effective to a point, but nowhere near a lot of the more modern designs, especially for the length needed and whatever cartridge you use (unless it's one designed for suppression like 9x39).You could still do a lot better for that kind of cartridge (and also a better cartridge), but the point of the VSS and 9x39mm wasn't to be perfect and optimal, rather that they could fill the basic requirements well enough while being really cheap and easy to make and tool up for, which they did, and thus why it is the way that it is.
>>65044340But considering that anon is looking to make a suppressor out of washers in his garage, taking that approach is more than enough as a starting point.He's looking to make a can that works well enough that costs a fraction of a "professional" better-engineered can with materials available to him, emulating the VSS suppressor is a great starting point for that approach.
>>65044774Naturally, so it's an ideal reference.
