>>64340013Every war will involve the military relearning what the Soviets and Axis learned in Stalingrad. Big bag of grenades, grenade into every room, Papasha/MP-40 burst into every corner.
>>64340177I remember reading some book about the battle of Berlin where it said that most of the institutional knowledge for urban fighting the Soviets got in Stalingrad basically got exterminated by the time of the battle so they had to relearn all that shit over again

The new M14. What in the world was the US Army thinking?
>Thank you for providing a depiction of the OP.
>>64338402You just justified having better mortar teams integrated into every squad, maybe something like an advanced version of the Japanese Knee Mortar.Not going to a fat-ass battle rifle. Why would you sight a target out with a drone, and then shoot at them with a gun. Instead of taking advantage of that to fuck their whole life up with mortar fire?
>>64338389it's just M4 but in bigger caliber, mechanically nothing changes.
>>64338984Only issue is it might also have barrel life issues but considering the alternative who even cares anymore

Does the humble gladius have any place in modern combat? Do swords in general? What's your favorite sword?
>>64299021>Idk how sturdy and robust gladius' tend to beBest ones were steel. Same secret sauce as later 'viking' swords. Makes you wonder why Romans never went with longer swords, seeing that they had the tech to make them. Gauls, on other hand, had long iron swords that bent like spaghetti.

/msg/ - Military Surplus GeneralBORING GUNS EditionPost old stuff.Thread question: What's an obscure milsurp prototype/design that lives in your head rent free?Previous Thread: >>64240292
WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME THE M.95 AMMO POUCHES ONLY HOLD 2X2 CLIPS NOW I HAVE A MISMATCH AAAAAAAAAH>>64338377All of them were until halfway through 1941 when they gave up trying to turn the rifle into a sniper and just deleted that part of the design to streamline production.
>>64337359nice AVT
>>64335203Feels bad man. Nothing in either of mine. I think importers are opening them up for themselves and stealing them, or re-listing them separate for a markup.
>>64338231RIP anon
I thrifted a weird modernized ALICE today. It's coyote brown and the only marking is a tag that says PMK Rescue Solutions. PMK was a short-lived defense contractor that went bankrupt in 2018. I can't find any information about their products. Did I acquire some failed prototype?
What’s the new meta?

>>64340081No, go look up the shotgun it's based on.. in this case the cheek rest would be a spring loaded flap that you just pushed a button to open for loading.. the shotgun is downward ejecting, this would do the same thing. I rly like this idea, its a neat design to upscale for this purpose, the biggest thing would be: no extra mags, (carbon tube instead) no bolt or gass ports.It removes weight, and that's a huge factor.. and with the recoil, shooting rapid fire is counter productive, besides, ur gonna need a buddy just to carry the mags in that case.Ergo, bud is correct in his autistic way of thinking.
>>64340089China's is more like this on steroids. It is a very different gun conceptually. Far higher velocity and range, at the cost of size and recoil. This is meant to be an upgrade to the current Milkor, without going all out.
>>64340089>>64340171The Chinese version has the scope mounted on a spring so it doesn't kill the guy shooting it when it smashes him in the face with every shot.

>>64337940>Rmmber China bad?Can't help yourself I guess.
>>64337134>China has its own taxonomy system for dinosaurs. Like for example: instead of "Tyranosaurus Rex" they call it "Bawang Long," (Tyrant King Dragon), That's a simple transliteration, though. Tyrannosaurus Rex means "Tyrant-lizard King".
>>64337094Look at the air intake on that thing. The engine must be pathetic. This has to be a prop or something... I just.. I can't even look at it. It's so sad. Even the 30-year old predators look better than this.
With the "Drone Age" quickly coming upon us, what is even the answer to them in warfare? I'd never want to be a soldier but even now, I'd want to be one even less. If all it is is just you waiting around to get dunked by some pencil neck playing with a controller, what is the point? I sometimes hate the turn that the evolution of warfare takes because it just ends up making things even more miserable for everyone. Granted, it is warfare sure. Anyway, what is the answer for drones in warfare and how do you expect things to sort of evolve around drones? Like when tanks first hit the battlefield, what options were made to address them? What about when planes become widely used in combat etc?
>>64339397>What is the "answer" to drones?Gulf War 1 or better combined arms and actual deep strikes and actual maneuver warfare to stop neo-WW1 trench idiocy. RC Jet drones with scaled down air to air + tiny AWACs + DEWs to sever fiber optic tethers as an energy saving option.
>>64339397Jamming, killing drone operators, programmed munitions, APS.
Can small drones be detected by current radars?Continuous, all-around surveillance using powerful radio waves poses the risk of the radar itself being detected and attacked.
>>64339397I think the most immediate and low-tech solution is AGLs with airburst munitions. I know Benelli was talking about an anti-drone shotgun but it sounds like a PR stunt. Shotguns can intercept drones but nowhere near reliably enough to warrant adding a whole extra guy to each squad who's just there to shoot quadcopters. From that point forward its an EW arms race until we can get lasers strong enough to at least blind a drone reliably mounted to anything bigger than a bicycle
>Turret using whatever long range rifle cartridge you want and ideally old surplus rifles>Tracks and shoots at anything it detects flying in it's range- except instead of just a camera, it has one of those extreme range microphones so before firing it does a simple check- does it go "bzzzzzzzzzz"?>If it sees something it THINKS is a drone but is silent, and said drone does not seem to be on a direct course to hit anything you designate as important, it sends a confirm request to some wagie>This prevents them from obliterating all birds in the area, but more importantly, not wasting ammo>Design system to be as dirt cheap as possible, use the classic Supcom tactic of "t1 AA creep" to achieve saturation in important areas>Also this would be one part of a greater network of drone defense, obviously this has flaws.

>>64337003I commissioned in the air guard at 32 and it has been great for me due to my company doing differential pay.I joined because I was bored, but now I'm actually making more money than I would have as just a civilian.
>>64339310Sounds comfy
>>64339305https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Doss
>>64339264Probably. I remember in (Air Force) BMT one of the instructors was complaining about how expensive switching to OCPs (This was the ABU-OCP transition era) is. He even showed us the math on how expensive it would be for him to switch to OCPs, and it came out to... $500... and how he had to save up for that. Don't get me wrong; if you're in a position where you have to buy new uniforms, but the military won't give you a uniform allowance for whatever reason, that is bullshit and you should complain (preferably to finance, not some trainees). But this dude, an E-6 (with special duty pay!), was acting like $500 would financially destroy his whole year lmfao. bro I've seen E-2s manage their finances better than this dude ahahahahahaha.
>>64339294He had a combat diver badge and long tab, which aren't exactly free chest candy like some shit like Air Assault is. He was kinda fat as a general but he seems to have done some cool-ish shit as a younger guy.
do you carry a medical/trauma kit in your BOB/combat kit? in my smallish backpack, i've put together a few things for major wounds. i also have a larger duffel bag which i consider my real BOB that has some emergency/freeze dried food, a mylar blanket, bottled water, paracord, some spare ammo, lighters, other non combat essentials. but if i were ever on the move, i would probably carry my backpack and leave my duffel bag somewhere safe so my immediately important things go in my backpack.>8 rolls of 3"x36" gauze for wound packing, individually wrapped>another large clean cotton rag for multipurpose use like water filtration (plus a lifestraw for actual purification), wound packing, cleaning, etc.>6 individually wrapped gauze pads for cleaning, wound packing, treating minor wounds>4 packs of bleedstop hemostatic agent>1 CAT tourniquet (not pictured, i moved it into my backpack from my main BOB after pic taken)>plastic bags for multipurpose use, protecting things from water, makeshift chest seal>3 rolls of adhesive wrap>small roll of medical tape, breathable, durable, and easily torn by hand>1 large bowie knife, 1 smaller pocket knife>1 swiss army knife with scissors and other tools>paper and sharpie for any note taking>antihistamines and nsaids in case there is no immediate medical services available. ibuprofen strictly for injuries that involve limited bleeding like a simple bone fracture>few packs of alcohol swabs for disinfecting>small sewing kit in an altoid tin which could double down as emergency suture as a last resortComment too long.

the bug out briefcase
>>64339529Why have you got three knives in a first aid kit?am i missing anything important?>Israeli bandage or emergency trauma dressing (can replace a couple of rolls of gauze if you're short on space)>2nd tourniquet>Tylenol (double up with ibuprofen), odansetron or metoclopramide, loperamide (won't save a life but worth carrying for comfort given how little space half a dozen pills take up)>Gauze pads are not appropriate for packing serious wounds, too great a risk of one of the pads being left inside when they stitch it up. Z fold or rolls is what you want for that.>50cc syringe for flushing wounds>Pack the iodine if you have the space and you're confident it's not going to get crushed and leak. General consensus is there's little to no benefit flushing or cleaning a wound with antiseptic vs tap water but in a natural disaster where everything is filthy and you might be waiting a long time for care then it's probably worthwhile.>SAM splint if you have space. Worth it if you need to limp to a hospital or aid station or whatever.

There's a difference between a training exercise and under combat operations. This wasn't a combat operation. There was no requirement to before a patently unsafe evolution.
