No politics, no industrial feasibility or cancellation talk allowed.What is the logical military use case for a huge expensive "battleship" with 3x more displacement than a Ticonderoga and only a few more VLS cells? What advantage could it hold over Flight III Burkes, DDG(X), VPM SSNs, or an SSGN Columbia variant?>1. The core use case would be a large fast cruiser able to escort carriers at prolonged high speeds around the Pacific, in situations where conventional escorts and their oilers couldn't keep up, or would slow the carrier down with UNREP making for risky ASBM attack windows.This is reliant on it being nuclear powered, which isn't confirmed and makes it more expensive and industrially intensive. Perhaps the Navy has done the math and found that cruising around at an unbroken 35 knots is useful to increase the PLA's sea search volume or complicate ASBM kill chains. But it doesn't have that many VLS cells so it must rely on novel weapons as an escort to avoid magazine depletion. >continued

There will never be a situation where you are caught off guard or hit by a unexpected enemy capability? That is idiocy, of course you will have set backs.This is why i like the Norks, they know they are the underdogs and thus have never succumbed to idiotic delusions of superiority.>1992 called, the time travelers want you to replace the works of Francis Fukuyama with the collected Works of Kim Il Sung ZSU-23-8 Iranian AA gun image unrelated, i just think it looks neat and hasn't been used well.
Last one dead. These threads need to be more common.Between a Mossberg 590 and a Remington 870, which should I keep? Recently was given an 870 and I don't really care to have two shotguns.
>>64672990I'd get the whole tube, sportmans warehouse has one for 25 bucks more.
>>64672996this is my first shotgun, I'm assuming you're referring to barrel length. what's the full size? I'm a tall guy so I think that makes sense.
>>64673008He means the 7 rnd tube , that's the 5rnd. The 7 runs the full barrel length and looks like sex
>>64672996>>64673018the 7+1 is the gun for morons.the 5+1 is better and is cheaper to get barrels for
>>64672990>>64672996>>64673018get one with a longer barrel. that anon is an underaged mall ninja tranny and is trying to tell you to get the 7 round 20 inch mav 88 which is retarded mall ninja shit because you can't put a longer barrel on it. you want the 28 inch barrel for clay shooting and hunting

>>64671802No one has ever answered me how China would make steel after being cut off from American and Australian met coal
>>64672825Japan invested in modern hyper-efficient mills after WW2 and was basically the steel supplier for the rest of Asia until China started waking upAmerican companies tried to keep using plants from before the turn of the century and then when the time came to replace them they said "meh we'll never beat thirdies on cost" and shut down instead
What the fuck is going on, they filmed everything, one SU-27 and one SU-30, 100 million in damages, did russia lost that many soldiers that they can't even muster a few guys to secure their air bases? Anyway, what's going on these past few days, they're getting a lot of shit destroyed, mig 31, S-400, bunch of fighters and even a fucking submarine
>>64671619Good question.
>>64671646>And how do you booby trap the cockpit in a way that won't fail pre-flight check?If I had a manual that included the pre-flight check list, I'd rewire a few of the initial switches that have to be swatched and that would detonate the bomb. You want to do the first 5 or so, in case the pilot decides to skip a few steps. You want them early on the list so your tampering won't go as noticed.
If something like a gust lock were secretly installed on the moving surface, would it be discovered during pre-flight check?
>>64664911Do you think real life sabotage is carried out by highly qualified technicians and not local retards or something? Do you think hacking a jet to fire on friendly forces is easy on a turned off jet that has its cockpit locked, and all its electronics underneath screwed panels that would be easy to spot damage too and take like 5 hours on the enemy airfield?It's like your understanding of reality comes from cartoons or vidya?
>>64672952Assuming the crews do their pre-flight check : yes
What do you think about the russian army? Seriously>They never fought a high scale war> Always fought against civilians and warfare groups> Only has a good reputation, because of their propaganda> Has never win a seriuos war
>>64665980Well let's be fair here, which other military has an actual presence in Ukraine in terms of manpower?>North KoreaOh god, you're actually right.
>>64664588>Right, I was thinking to how Russia is what, 130 million or so now?Only assuming that they weren't fibbing on their population statistics. There were pre-war estimates going as low as 100 million.

PCC thread for my newest fixation. MP5-SD clonePost with me to celebrate, rimfire welcome
>>64672483>Marlin>StainlessAbsolutely based
>>64670623I have this one and the sylvan adapter which ran fine out the box but doesn't have LRBHO and I don't like where the mag release is for a comp gun. The only issue you may run in to with the stern is that the ejector will need to be heated and bent properly in to position so you don't get FTEs out that ass. I did mine in 10 minutes with a butane torch and two wrenches but if it's hardened steel it'll snap. blowback9 and r/ar9 have a bunch of tutorials on how to do it yourself but take that in to consideration
>>64672483How is it?
I have a MP5 clone and PS90 so I haven't shot my Uzi clone in years. Free tax stamp next year and this boy is getting a barrel chop, a wood stock, and finally seeing the light of day at the range.
good evening, how important is buffer setup in an AR9 for dealing with possible bolt bounce?I'm new to PCCs, was hoping to get by with a red spring and H3 buffer I already have.

Would you join the military right now if you had nothing going on? I'm at a crossroads as I've been laid off now for 8 months.
>>64672652How the fuck do you not get a job in 8 months you lazy faggot

I got tired of scrubbing, scrubbing and scrubbing these titanium suppressor baffles and I don't have any fancy tumblers or parts cleaners. I'm trying the vinegar hydrogen peroxide dip for the first time and wondering what you guys think about this. Does it work or is it a waste of time?/nogunz need not participate
Any acid powerful enough to dissolve lead is going to eat your suppressor too.There is really nothing you can do to clean those disgusting 22lr cans besides scraping the stuff off.Really we should all be using disposable 5$ 3D-printed suppressors for 22LR.
>>64673020Well I'm not putting the aluminum tube in there with it but I understand the concern, probably not the safest thing. I've been looking into 3d printing a bit lately but I know nothing about it. Do you just make the rimfire tubes from plastic or the whole thing?

>>64666194It is very established that the bolsheviks were mostly jewish early on. They then went on the run much of the terror operation imvolved in keeping dissidents in line.They were uniquely literate at the time because their religion teaches them to read early in life. While the average peasant couldn't read a telegram or letter with orders or send a report back.There is pictures of them and it looks like hundreds of rabbis gathered in orthodox jewish attire.

>the few henry rifles that look kind of ok are only in .30-30 and .45-70 and aren't in .35 rem or .360 buckbreaker
>>64672863>tube loading is a nonissue for huntingIt confers no benefit and makes loading the firearm more clunky and irritating. You don't even drop rounds in the top, just through the stupid little cartridge shaped cutout.
>>64672957>>64672879you could drop rounds though the top if you really wanted to and it's easier to load with gloves. it's literally a nonissue on a hunting gun or a range toy
>>64672879Henry has some of the nicest wood in the industry thoughbeitst'lld've. My 500$ single shot came with wood like pic related. And from what I have heard and read online many people got similar grade of wood, it wasn't just me winning the lottery.
>>64668996>>64672647>>64672674Is there seriously a cartridge called .360 Buckbreaker
>>64673004is that pic semi related or did you install the comb and buttpad adjust?>>64673012it's .360 buckhammer. it's .30-30 necked up to take a .35 rem bullet and I think it's spicer than .30-30 too? the major benefit is if you're in a straight wall hunting state .360 buckhammer is straight walled so you basically get .30-30 even though you aren't supposed to and it uses the same bullets as .35 rem but it's going faster so if you're a .35 rem autist there's no reason to buy a new gun in .35 rem if you were replacing your rifle for some reason because .360 buckhammer does the exact same .35 rem does but better and has more staying power than most other retard cartridges because a decent number of states mandate it. whereas most retard rounds that are only marginally better than .308 or .30-06 might not be supported in 10 years.You can't even buy a new .35 rem marlin anymore since Ruger bought them. if you want a .35 rem you need to either buy a used gun, buy a traditions single shot or buy a henry brass lever gun. henry doesn't even make a single shot in .35 rem which is weird because they make 10 different caliber single shot rifles
