Navy Secretary John Phelan just recently revealed the most recent proposal to replace the Constellation class frigates. It's basically a modified version of the Coast Guard's Legend class cutter carrying 16 VLS cells.https://breakingdefense.com/2025/12/navy-wants-new-frigate-in-2028-says-services-acquisition-head/https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OJZ8eB_mPA&pp=0gcJCR4Bo7VqN5tD
>>64633088>It's basically a modified version of the Coast Guard's Legend class cutter What?USN themselves already rejected this proposal 10 years ago, are they REALLY this retarded?
>>64634214Do I know (You) ?
>>64634119And that's poor reading. I said RE-engage for good reason. THINK when your first salvo is going to hit the target. How many seconds do you now have to fire a second salvo?
>>64634025>Why is it an impractical solution?Because with virtually no hangar you have like 1 or 2 sorties and that's about it, you might as well have land-based aircraft for all the bloody use a chopper is going to be, cause you'll have shit op tempo basically negating any advantage of shipboard vs land-based
>>64633683>Navy says "I want a new ship that can do x, y, and z" even though y is not usually done on the same ship as x and z is some nebulous new concept that the Navy thinks it might possibly need in the future but has never been tried before>a few years pass, top brass cycles out of the Navy>New leaders go "alright, actually, the ship doesn't need to do y anymore but it does need to do q instead, also the layout needs to be completely rearranged from what the last guys approved because we don't like them">this repeats several times, massively ballooning the cost>ship is finally done>Navy tests it and goes "woah this is a giant clusterfuck of a ship for how much it cost to produce; it doesn't do any one thing well and it turns out z isn't actually relevant to naval operations anyways, no reason to build any more of these"
Who were some opponents of early tank development? I'm trying to do research on the subject, and of course there's the story of Churchill needing to steal money to fund the landship committee and stuff, but who exactly opposed it and why? Searching terms like "anti tank" or "tank opponents" just turns up anti-tank warfare.
>>64629942>Searching termsWell there's your problem. Get off google and get your nose in books.
>>64630000
>>64630043Thank you.>>64630232>just go look for random books in the libraryOh, yeah, sure. I'll go look in the 'history' section. It must be between "Book about D-Day #1' and 'Book about Holocaust #2".

>>64630232>Insists on forcing others to read books>Doesn't specify which books. This is why Death Traps doesn't go away.
>>64634216That woman should be put to the torch.
>>64634224It funny how both sides of the political spectrum on both sides of the Atlantic hate her now. And I'm here for it.
I had it in War Thunder for a long time.
>>64634216If germany had refused tanks to hungary in 2018, you people would have called it german imperialism on poor based hungary.
Why do they need them?Didnt their defence minister say that if they get invaded they would lay down arms
Did the Ruger bx1 kill tube magazines for 22s?Also should Ruger make the 96 again or should people just get a Volquartsen?
>>64634285Yeah
>>64634285>Did the Ruger bx1 kill tube magazines for 22s?It's a charm. But ever tube gun I own has its own charm. For current produbtion, the Marlin M60 is still tube? (But Google shows it stopped production in 2020.)
Ugly gun
I really don't like the Rhinos with the only partial rail segments like this. I wish they would either make the rail full length or delete it entirely. >>64628543I love toob guns tho.
>>64618290Just found my 11/9, gonna break gun rule #2 never sell. Unless there is an FRT for the Mac 11? Mine's an Intertec.
>>64633076I will have to look, but I'm gonna break gun rule #2 and sell mine. I just don't like my Tec-22 and it takes Ruger mags.
>>64634256>>>64618752 (You) #>Yup, people that dont actually own one dont understand these are heavy as fuck and made of thick fucking steel.>Also Lage just came out with a 5.56 belt fed upper for these and a .22 LR upper that uses Ruger 10/22 mags.>For a transferable machine gun you cant beat the value.Still, I am motivated to sell, mine's semi and I have some (rare?) accessories all from Intertec. Without FRT, the fun just isn't there. Screwing on the bbl extention is a violation. And the carbine upper is only cool with the wire stock, if then. Thinking to fund a Lima6 with frt.

Buy an ad.
Don't buy an ad because rap battles of history is some actual cringe.
Hypothetically, if the Iron Age came sooner and the Bronze Age was dramatically shorter (or didn't happen at all), would swords be more prominent on the battlefield? Or were polearms just inevitable?
(long) swords were only popular when armor was rare due to rarity of the most produced metal, once the metal production increased and armor plate/mails became widespread people used shorter swords as side arm. That happened at least twice, during the late Bronze age and medieval times.
>>64634219Swords were prominent. Massed longspears just works very well.
A geran drone flew around the port of Odessa, then struck a ship.https://files.catbox.moe/jqgjqq.mp4 (strike at 0:38)The ship is claimed to be a Turkish cargo ship.

>>64628525 (OP)>>Because armed people will NOT willingly >>load themsleves into railroad boxcars,Quickfix.I remember it was. In Switzerland, a gang of armed revolutionaries, along with Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenine, willingly loaded themselves into railroad boxcars, their guy sealed the boxcars, they crossed the interstate border, got out of boxcars and made a revolution, if I'm not mistaken, the Great October Revolution (November 7-8, 1917)I'm not calling for a revolution or a conquest, I just recollected that historic event.
>>64634162What did you think he meant?
>>64634237That picture reminds me of the zombie from the start of resident evil 1 I don't like it
>>64634118well they took away most of the guns, so you can actually have a mass shooting with bolt actions (there was a shotgun too)
>>64634237Going to church is fake and gay. You'll be much closer to God in a field popping off rounds and appreciating the scenery than crammed in with a billion people just trying to avoid hell.

Most of Cortes's men had cotton armor rather than plate.Which makes them more badass actually, but...
They probably just wanted dates. Also, the Incas and Aztecs could have saved a lot of grief by just converting to Catholicism. They were pretty dumb.
They are coming for your leadhttps://www.npr.org/2025/12/08/nx-s1-5599539/hunters-encouraged-to-trade-lead-bullets-for-copper-to-protect-scavenging-animals
>>64633008I effectively do though when I shoot it regularly, but I don't count that towards hunting usage. I guess if you have a hunting gun you literally only use once per year then sure doesn't hurt, though even then with a quality setup the zero shouldn't shift to any significant degree at the kind of ranges and accuracy we're talking for hunting.But sure, if you take an extra 3 bullets each year to double check and refamiliarize yourself then sure, no problem.
>>64633031do you shoot your hunting ammo all year? if you're using expensive nonlead hunting ammo it's likely going to have a different zero than leaded stuff
>>64621568Good. If you can afford to play with guns, you can afford a minor increase in ammo prices until the market adjusts.
>>64622574You just made that issue up. I've never heard about it before. Remember this ammo has been used since 2010, with no problems.

>>64632388lol, I think that company is a Longfri outlet.Yeah, that was never gonna happen.
Are there multi curve hybrid composition plates yet that defeat M80A1, M855A1, HOT M193 etc, while being LESS than 4.6lbs per 10x12", and that cost less than $400 per plate, and are no more than 1" thick?

>>64633490The purpose of SBRing a bullpup is so you can put a suppressor on it.
>>64632862ya dude, the guy that runs that shop is beyond good at what he does
>>64633670I figured that was unnecessary for the weight distribution since bullpups are already fairly rear heavy
>>64628323It's for putting a can on you retard.
This is a literal combat ship.
>>64633612My logic for not speeding in littoral waters is that you're there to actually combat and neutralize the threat, not giving it the time and space to take advantage of the geography and slither back into safe havens, which littoral waters are aplenty, only because you don't have a well armoured *and* armed ship to actually engage

>>64633741>as a mini AWACSnodrone missile cueing is in the most infant of stages at this timeno such sensor / targeting pod has been developed, so it will be around a decade before any such capability will be operationally fielded by a Navy heli drone>>64633699I don't quite understand what you're trying to say
