Was Flak useless or just a bad choose against bombers? The window to shoot them was tiny and the fragmentation radius was too small, it need almost a direct hit with time or proximity fuse.It only make sense when you don't have fuel and aluminium for your interceptor planes.
>>64705305You don't need to force the bomber to actively evade. Just having heavy flak present means bombers are forced to fly higher to increase survivability against it. And in a WWII context that means their accuracy goes to shit.
>>64706300Night raids were just as bad. There's A LOT of shit that can go wrong.
>>64709584>I recall a book about the stg-44 mentioning that the germans were incapable of producing as much 8mm as they were consuming.That's because it was surprisingly widely adopted for a late war invention, I guess.
flak was the best they had and main point was to force bombers high so they are inaccurate and at least try to shoot down
>>64708368Flak shot down 2x the amount of bombers as fighters German Flak was highly effective and had complex and accurate targeting systems
Why isn't the 5.56 RDB more popular? I shot one at the range today as it was extremely pleasant to shoot. Nice trigger and adjustable gas system
>>64700485i should get one of those, its basically the only IL legal bullpup
>>64703194Disappointment
>>64698062G3 magazines would have been a poor choice because they don't have a bolt hold open tab and they are only cheap because of a huge glut of surplus. That has been drying up for years and prices have been going up.The only good magazine pattern for a modern 7.62x51mm rifle would be the DPMS/SR-25 AR-10 pattern. It doesn't require locking in, it has a bolt hold open, good availability, low cost and a robust enough design.
>>64703194its ok. not the best but an ok rifle
>>64694280damn, it kinda looks like soviet tkb rifles
It's barely visible, but her thumb does hit it at the same time her other fingers touch the carry handle.
>>64710659Nah, that was someone else. Probably the same person I stole the webm from on /tv/.
>>64710662Why are you posting this?
>>64710706Well, one: I want to know what kind of gun this is if it is not an M-16, when it damn well looks like an M-16.Second: I want to know if what she is doing with her thumb is normal. She's clearly doing it to keep the magazine from sliding out.
>>64710746Hello fren. Beginner shooter here. I have some 200 hours of AR15 training and have never seen anyone to operate the charging handle this way. I just tried it at home and it is straight up impossible. Also it looks like she is reloading; in that case you only need to hit the bolt release button.
>>64710807Yeah it's really weird the showrunners decided to draw attention to such a strange thing.>Inb4 "Stranger Things" pun
Why do third world shitholes rely on centralized defense that can crumble in 3 JDAM strikes and not on decentralized massive militia (paramilitary/national guard) network equiped with smart ammo like Ukraine in 2021?
>>64710708You mean the ones that had to put down a rebellion every 10 years?
>>64710692garbage militias that are politically alligned are a core component of dictatorships and tyrannies see the red guards, paramilitary goon squads groups that act death squads and enforce vililange capital punishment are the first step for anti democratic movements and neo marxist terrorist groups
>>64710330I mean, Venezuela actually relied on manpad spam than it's big iron SAMs.They even made a big thing of showing the t shirt militia guys with them.For larger systems they had 2 S-300 and like 8 buks and allegedly a lot more Pechora of dubious readiness for what they're worth.
>>64710635>Ring me when you're wailing about more refugees from an imploding country.readhttps://www.google.com/search?q=russian+hybrid+warfare+mass+immigration+e
>>64710800And these militias are usually armed with the bare minimum in case they get ideas and decide the current leaders aren't fanatic enough.
According to images from recent military drills and some Marines talked about it on the Internet. The Republic of China (Taiwan) Marine Corps decided to replace all their T65s and T91s with US supplied M4A1 carbines, instead of buying the new T112 assault rifles. Do you guys think it's a good idea? Dumping the short stroke gas piston and go back to DI.
>>64710757its just taiwan
That puts their guys in a slightly better position to receive future aid and overall they really can't exist without the US so being under the US umbrella more isn't an issue.
>>64710761It's official name is still Republic of China.
>>64710778Apparently dropping the "China" part and just calling it "Taiwan" is actually now antagonizing to the CCP since it implies a true independent nation rather than just unconquered territory in an un-concluded Chinese civil war. Won't you think of the poor, poor feelings of the Chinese people, Anon?

>>64707029>recommendations for slings?Obviously, Turner Saddlery or Andy's Leather. Turner's M1907 or Andy's Ching Sling is superior. There is a difference between a sling and a carry strap, there are used L1A1 straps here:https://camolots.com/products/vintage-british-l1a1-slr-rifle-sling?variant=43334347849926 With new old stock (NOS) available on Ebay.

>>64707806>It's a fetish and a form of consoomerism. A lot of video game nuts buy video games for the sake of buying them, the same way people buy Labubu or Funko Pop dolls. Beyond 2 or 3 video games, it's a mental problem.
>>64707806>It's a fetish and a form of control freakery. A lot of minimalist commie nuts post telling others what they are allowed like or do for the sake of posting, the same way people like to censor books others read or censor free speech. Beyond 2 or 3 posts, it's a mental problem.
>>64707806>form of consumerismAnd what's wrong with that? Are you an eco marxist or something? Are people only allowed to buy vegan cookery books and organic hemp hats now?Without people consuming, people loose jobs, people are poor, people don;t get to have things they want and the people who make those things are unemployed. Every single great museum has a private collection donated to it at it's heart,Without consumers there would be no film, no radio, no tv, no home computers, no nice food, no work,nothing, just endless grey poverty.You are poverty death and socialism which leads to tyranny.
>>64705854Are you diversifying your collection or are you just an ARfag?

In this moment I am euphoric. Not because of any phony fudd's overmatch. But because, I am enlightened by George Kelgren's intellect.

>>64708675>today it would not work because body armor is much stronger)M4 carbines etc don't penetrate SAPI plates. As for kevlar 4.6x30 round penetrates 150 layers of kevlar (typical flak/IIIA vests is 15-30 layers). If anything proliferation of SAPI plates makes Kellgrens concept of spam more micro bullets even more viable. Real way to deal with rifle plates that is used now is to shoot around plates and more bullets full auto 40 rounds per second gun with minimal recoil is what you want for that.
>>64708675>>64708686>>64708988It is also pretty neat to mention that in a real life engagement you are quite likely to only see the enemy's head as he peaks from behind cover.

>>64710503No idea who that is.
>>64678450>>64680471It’s both kind of funny and kind of sad that the Eastern Bloc (I know Yugoslavia technically wasn’t part of it) spent half a century training its population, building military bases and bunkers everywhere, and stockpiling weapons in case of an invasion by the West, only to end up turning their guns on each other. The Chechens literally used Soviet-made defensive plans and strategies they had prepared for a NATO invasion.
>>64710461>Milošević would probably not even take the rest of CroatiaThis was a hypothetical scenario that imagines what he'd do if he could, as a way of imagining that Slovenian independence might not be considered permanent by Serbian leadership.

To many random-ass totally fictitious discussions are leaking into /k/ and it really should be stopped. So with that bit of grandstanding out of the picture, Dragons. How would dragons be armed and armoured? Or at least any dragon of intelligence enough to be given a pokey stick and know how to use it. I'll leave it totally ambiguous and to your superior discretion on what ‘kind’ of dragons we're talking about here beyond that or whatever period we’re dealing with. Whatever, go long with it. [spoiler] A /vs/ board should be made which would solve the off topic vs threads problem. It’s a head scratcher that 4chan doesn’t have a /vs/ board to begin with.[/spoiler]
>>64710743Arming a flying unit with melee weapons is retarded. Give it bunches of steel bolts tied to bundles that it can then drop on enemy formations. Or just give it rocks to drop on the enemies.
