What modern day tech could be deployed for supporting a large scale amphibious invasion that the allies didn't have back in WW2?

>>64704293>everyone that has a dissenting opinion is chinese A) Kill yourself. B) Your country is currently bending over and spreading its cheeks for Russia. Why would you get into it with a nation a thousand times more capable than Russia?
>>64701568"drones", yeah
>>64704317shooting at a tanker is an act of war. hope it's not sailing under an u.s. flag.
>>64704334because as much as trump's weird accomodation is pathetic, the rest of europe is also just ignoring russia whenever they spergout and send another plane or drone over the edge of a border somewhere, russia is completely fucking impotent and desperately hoping to provoke something so they can claim it's an existential threat and either use it as an excuse to their retarded populus to back out of the war or to mobilise. literally doing nothing while russia spergs out is the best strategy there.china is a different strategy, if they seriously start a blockade, it's going to get broken very quickly because there is WAY more stake in it, not just from the US but from everyone else as well, europe also imports a shitload of stuff from taiwan, and i'm not just talking about the really high-end chips.
So here is my glorious Century Arms AK after a fire and 4 years rusting in a scrap heap. A couple folks i know have been watching youtube and gotten into restoration, they are competing with each other to see what is the worst one they can fix. Well i'm gonna give it a try.As far as i can tell the lower and are fine, however all the sheet metal and most of everything else is unsalvageable. The plan is to whenever possible replace the irreparable components with items from a 'Asian parts kit' aka a Type 58. So what is my first step, put in a 5 gallon bucket of water, dump in some Borax and hook up a battery charger?

The heat treatment of the trunnion is probably bad, with a enough rounds the lugs will mushroom, then causing bad headspace and then case ruptures.Honestly a cool wall hanger, but not worth your timeNot the right thickness receiver for an North Korean kit
>>64703354>heat softened>>64703596>springs looks good and fucked>>64703829>Heat treatment seems utterly ruined but so far all of of the parts and springs are intact just crusty.If the springs got fucked by heat, the trunnion is probably also bad.The trunnion is NOT easy to replace. It has rivets holding it to the receiver. The barrel is press fitted into the trunnion. A soft trunnion can crack at the barrel pin or it can let the barrel move forward, causing catastrophic headspacing.When making your own AK from a 80% kit, you are typically demilling the trunnion and reusing it with a new receiver and barrel. In other words, swapping a trunnion isn't impossible. Most builders have already done it. Multiple times. It's a pain in the ass, but totally doable. >>64703841>i'll make my friends buy a Type 58 parts kitIsn't that a milled kit? You'll probably want a milled receiver to go with that. Also, a milled kit won't come with a trunnion. Just a heads up.
>>64704222The receiver is too thin, everything is there but it looks like so much material flaked off it's half the thickness in some sections. I'm going to strip it down but besides attempting to win a bet with a string it doesn't seem usable, it's just too thin. 99% chance a wall hanger but i'll wait a couple days to see what the rust removal solution reveals.
>>64704261>The receiver is too thinIt probably isn't, but a fresh receiver looks better than a pitted one.How is the barrel? If the inside isn't too pitted, you might have a pre populated barrel assembly. I prefer parkerizing but you might be good with just a crown job and an oversized barrel pin. And maybe spray paint. But no way to tell before the rust comes off.Again, the type 58 might be a milled kit. Do you have a milled receiver?

>>64701418The elf hate era is over sorry.
>>64703992just looked it up, bear in mind the last entry is 3pm so if you arrive late just do it all on day 2 and relax on day 1we are getting a bit of rain right now so I would be flexible about indoor/outdoor depending on the weather.I personally, have never split it up, but I live in Tucson so lol.If I were going to do it in two days, I would do the main hangar, the space hangar, and the outside on one day, and the ww2 hangars and outside on the second day there is a lot of outside outside, it probably makes more sense to do it both days and pay more attention to different things on the second day, but also it is only 80 acres so you can do a quick loop first day, then pick a few things to gawk at, then come back and see some other stuff on Day 2the world war 2 indoor parts are really the only part that is conducive to shaving off for a full day, there are three of the five hangars for world war 2 including the B-17 hangar which is technically its own museum.there is also the land warfare museum that I have not yet been to, which is done in a partnership with the Imperial War Museum.

>>64703856BMP-2 has to be a contender, it's like it was intentionally designed to turn the troops it's transporting into charcoal
>>64704192I'll defend the BMP series' fuel tanks for a couple reasons: anything thats going to be able to get to the central tank, rupture it and ignite the fuel is almost certainly going to have fucked the guys sitting around it already, so its really just an expedient cremation feature of the vehicle. As far as the rear tanks, those were normally used for longer transit periods, they could resist rifle caliber AP rounds and if someone is shooting the back of your APC with an autocannon you have bigger immediate survivability issues

Which is better? Steam or Electromagnetic Catapults?
>>64700379>The current goes into the hull Not the argument, DC causes way more corrosion than AC and directly corrodes the rails and coils. It's a maintenance nightmare on top of a system that's already a maintenance nightmare.
>>64704032Yes, but I think the flywheel itself is a result of wanting AC for other reasons. I read a Navy paper on railguns a while back where they stated that capacitors are preferable to flywheels because they're safer. I think if they had gone with a DC design, it would have been much more likely to use capacitors than flywheels.>The big downside of LIMs is speed is frequency dependant so you need to ramp frequency up as speed increases.I think maybe the compulsator can account for this? I'm unclear on how exactly it differs from a normal alternator.

>>64697248I’ve literally never met somebody who owns one of these. Who the fuck has the money for a $4000 battle rifle? The few people who do own them seem to use them most as range toys anyway so very much a rich person gun like the HK416 only arguably less useful.

>>64697248Scars are cool but for the cost of a Scar, I could probably buy 2 or 3 AK platform rifles in different calibers. AKs are cool, and they cost less than a Scar so why would I buy a Scar? Don't Scars have reliability issues too?
>>64701246>Don't Scars have reliability issues too?No you stupid bitch. SCARs are some of the most reliable rifles on the market.

It literally never got more accurate than this.
>>64703917You must have been really not liked if the guys in your squad/platoon were stealing from you. One of my boys almost threw hands on my behalf because someone accidentally drank my red bull I left out. Anyway, yeah it shows how you have to beg/borrow/steal/improvise in the show. Its one of the best, well researched and portrayed depictions of a military story. Better than BoB or the Pacific.

>>64704221>You must have been really not liked if the guys in your squad/platoon were stealing from you. I got stolen from once in four years, when another portion of a unit I was attached to handled our gear. So go figure myself and half the platoon got random shit stolen from us. White trash is as white trash does. In the workup prior to that another companies xo got his entire cif issue stolen in the field. Was he hated so much that he was stolen from? Actually no, the individuals responsible for it were caught and admitted that they did it for money. Disgusting that you make excuses for thieves.>Anyway, yeah it shows how you have to beg/borrow/steal/improvise in the showAh good, white trash being portrayed accurately. Better than the other way.>>64704251Oh I know the show is shit. As if Iraq and Afghanistan were hard or a real war lol. They were the equivalent of a child knocking over an anthill.

What are some cool jobs that you can offer me?"But you made this thread thinking you'd get your dick sucked off and have milfags fighting for the privilege of your time and attention, didn't you? Please anon, come join the Army! You can be an Option 40 11X and join the Rangers and be a hero just like in your video games! Please come be a Ranger, I know you can totally do more than 30 push ups and have the mental fortitude required to earn your tab, that's why you're asking total strangers on the internet to crowdsource your life decisions.
