When did war transition from soldiers aiming at the enemy and hitting them to soldiers just magdumping in the general direction of the enemy?A soldier in WW1 with a bolt action rifle and a 5 round magazine had to actually aim during his trench assault. By WW2 you had soldiers spraying SMGs at each other. Vietnam MACVSOG guys were going into combat with 50 magazines. GWOT guys were shooting 10,000 rounds for every enemy killed. Ukraine footage has Russians and Ukrainians shooting whole magazines blindly around corners and rooms. When does it end?Has anyone tried shooting less but actually aiming?Is there a war where one side had guns with less ammo and better marksmanship and ended up being more effective?

>>64644362Most recently? late WW1. the Stormtroopers figured out how to take advantage of the fact that people tend to duck down when machine guns are fired in their general direction, and pioneered modern fire & maneuver tactics.

>>64645472It's a Pietta, right? You ought to pick you up an 8" barrel for it, then. Run it full of TRIPLE 7. Can't hurt the thing that way. I think it's a hoot to leave off the rammer an get A $5 5.56nato green laser and a tight rubber washer to grab the extractor groove - and a plastic washer to cradle the case up near it's shoulder. Reach under the barrel 1/4 turn tighten batt cap ON.Makes waist level snap shooting a breeze :D777 = no smoke, ya see . . .
>>64645472.44 octagon barrels $130 on The Bay today. You could leave out the wad and just use the grease grooves and fill the damn cyl up with 777 and be squarely up in .45 Long Colt smackdown-land. People always surprised what you can do with these modern 1860s. Best part is carrying six and set er on a safety pin. Get a 255 really movin' an it's a thing of beauty. I am compelled to run 165s and bleeding-edge powder charges to get any power out of this 3" barrel at all. You would literally make $45 to sell a used 3" on the bay and buy a virgin 7,5"Hey it's a pretty good hobby - even if I do overthink every-damn-thing D:
>>64645619>get A $5 5.56nato green laser and a tight rubber washer to grab the extractor grooveNo thanks>>64645657I have longer barrelled colts already thanks. That models costs more than a regular seven inch barrelled version.

>>64645939>>64645883I think it depends on what you do in the military. Don't do anything with guns, heavy machinery, or anything dangerous and you're fine. You wanna be a complete nigger to the system. Maximize benefits and minimize effort and personal risk. Don't go and fight though, that's fucking dumb. >oh no me being a supply clerk is contributing to ZOG which is making brown people cryboo hoo nigga. Get ahead. Bad things will happen to brown people regardless of what one individual does. Stack racks and then GTFO before shit really kicks off. You think things were any different a hundred years ago? No. Your ancestors until 80 years ago joined the army to rape and pillage. This is tame by comparison. Also don't discount STEM. CS is completely fucked but there are other tracks that are still doing OK. Dude, I legit almost failed algebra in HS years ago and I just made it through Calc 1 and an accelerated chemistry course with A's.
That's approximate number of nuclear warheads NATO, the Warsaw Pact, and their friends possessed at the peak of the Cold War in 1985.Here's my question, if things had actually had actually come to a head, how many of these could actually have been fired off in an exchange. Say, it's all-out mutually assured destruction where the goal is the total extermination of the opposing side, could you have actually seen 60,000+ warheads being fired off or would both sides have had command and control collapse after the first few hundred and the rest being left unable to be used?
>>64637374Question is the impact on the noosphere?
>>64645656So no more 2A after a nuclear attack?
>>64637374>ook nookMeanwhile in reality:
>>64644871>Yields in the megaton range were considered the norm from the 1950s until MIRVs became a thing in the 70, ... Imagine how many more would have died if it had been hit by two or three.The only reason multiple megaton warheads were aimed a single target is that bombers were considered very vulnerable (even with standoff weapons), and the ICBMs of the time were wildly inaccurate and not terribly reliable. That overkill was just what one had to use in order to reliably take out whatever the actual military or infrastructure target was.Most of the actual casualties in a nuclear war would not come from the bombs themselves but from mass famine from countries' major economic infrastructure all getting wrecked at once and the compounding global economic collapse that would follow.

If you were tasked with designing a military transport plane, how would you prevent this from happening?
whoops
>>64645011>No metal can undergo infinitely many load cycles anonit depends on the metal anon, endurance/fatigue limit is a thing. Aluminum doesn't exhibit that property, so you're right in this specific case of aircraft fuselages, but steel can undergo infinitely many stress cycles for sufficiently low stresses.
From what I recall from class (long, long ago) the purer the material latice is (no grain boundaries, no interstitial or substitutional material) the more resistance to fatigue it has.So diamond, being the hardest, purest metal, would be ideal for building an indestructible plane. Trust me, I'm a (software) engineer.
>>64645973How was it even airbourne? It looks like it's falling almost straight down. Did they try to VTOL it or something?

>>64642620>but neither could leverage it for sustained air ops through the campaigns.Germany lost air superiority after Kursk, and thereafter were only ever able to gain local air superiority occasionally. Not to mention the transfer of fighter units deployed to defend German airspace rather than using them as an offensive tactical weapon. They had no choice really
>>64642502Idiot
>>64640052Surely with these heroic feats they won the war.
>>64642241dude, the soviets werent cautious in their advance in 45. they were gunning for berlin at high speed. so i can totally see them running head on into ambushes occasionally.
>>64642623Absolutely. The rulers of America are not and have not been, since Reagan at the latest, actual Americans or our elected officials. It's the CEOs, the Wall Street C suites, that rule this nation. War with China is bad for business. Line goes down in war. The S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, they suffer. Line does, however, go up, when costs of production go down, AKA shipping production to chinkland and jeetland.So no, even Trump will not start an actual war with China. We can't even apply tariffs to the chinks. Republicans are bought out by their lobbyists, and Democrats are opposed to chink tariffs specifically because the Orange Man is doing it. Trump can try to start shit with China, which btw would be kino, but he would also immediately get calls from Wall Street demanding he cease immediately. We cannot effectively oppose the chinks because we cannot effectively oppose them in a political and economic sense. There is no bipartisan "china bad", and so the chinks will continue to siphon industries from the west.>B-b-but my 3 Gorges!It's bad for business. We're not doing it.>T-t-total chink de-Total bugman death removes a source of cheap labor. Line will go down as a result.>But-Chink death is Bad For Business. End of story.Until we remove the MBAs from DC, we will not be able to meaningfully oppose the chinks, as the MBAs will sabotage any attempt to oppose the chinks due to it being "bad for business".
How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64644972>tinZinc and arsenic are also options.
>>64634465They were effective just had very limited durability. Spanish writers describe a horse being decapitated by one for example. Some guy made a couple and tested them on a large piece of pork, it sliced through the flesh but shattered on bone.
>>64644972They had metal weapons but obsidian basically allowed them to max out stoje weapons and because they didnt have to fight people with better metalworking like in the old world until it was too late to adapt they never really worked on smithing.
>>64634465They didn't look like that. This is like posting a replica of a pilgrim gun and questioning the effectiveness of modern fire arms.>>64637276Came here to post this. The Macuahuitl is quite possibly the finest stone weapon ever produced. My understanding is that it was mainly use as a wooden club that could also take a persons limb off with a change in grip. It's pretty clear that they wouldn't have been effective against steel plate; but the rank and file Spaniards wouldn't have worn full plate and the Spanish army in the Spanish-Aztec wars was majority Injun anyways.

in the new upcoming Resident Evil game, Leon seems to carry a hatchet instead of his usual knife, which seems like an obvious choice, more range, more power behind the strikes, you just lose a bit of precision.

I finally got to experiment with what SOG guys did in vietnam, use the canteen pouch to hold mags. Molle canteen pouch can hold up to 4-5 30rd 556 mags.
>>64641578Infantry have always tended towards carrying as many reloads as possible on their gear ever since self-loading firearms became the norm.No matter how good at shooting and disciplined against mindlessly mag-dumping on contact you are you're gonna miss a lot in combat and will need to regularly expend a lot of ammo for covering/suppressive fire so you run through it faster than you'd think even if you're not being wasteful.
