The dragon is the size of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you can do a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk and junk.
>>64734174A DnD dragon would still be viable on the modern battlefield because its giant lizard with an IQ of 180 which can sprint fly at over 200mph, teleport several hundred miles at time, melt steel with a thought, spray psychoactive mustard gas over miles of terrain, breath underwater, perfectly imitate any human it sees once, poison any water within 300ft, cast Wish Spells several times a day, read and control minds at will, make an entire division fall over laughing if tells a joke, has innate thermal vision, construct bridgeheads in minutes, make everybody who can see it shit their pants, ect, ect. Dragons are bullshit.
>>64746238A reasonably old DND dragon isn't viable because you have no way to make him give a shit about your objectives and worse, if he really did care he'd just take over your country and win your war by teleporting demons into your enemy's leader's bathrooms.

>>64727248>1300's-1400'sIt would be a YUGE factor. In our timeline, gunpowder was discovered by alchemists searching for an elixir of eternal life. In this timeline, gunpowder is invented specifically to kill dragons. Black Powder would be a game-changer and Smokeless Powder can be made as early as the 1500's if there is enough incentive and people working to discover it. The various ingredients to make gunpowder were known to Classical civilizations, it's just no one had the depth of knowledge or incentive to create it. Dragons change that. I'd wager we'd have gunpowder weapons sooner than in our current timeline. Armies would be smaller in number, lighter, and more elite units, as soldiers would have to be VERY well-drilled to handle dragon attacks.>Missile infantryUsed to distract or possibly even get a lucky kill and to harass/suppress enemy infantry>Pikemen/SpearmenUsed to protect Combat Engineers and a last ditch anti-dragon formation. The sarissa is the primary anti-dragon infantry weapon.>Combat EngineerA cross between Missile and Skirmisher infantry; well trained at crewing animal-drawn weapons like Catapults, Ballista, Trebuchet, and other artillery weapons. Later, they get cannons. Able to also engage in siege works, build camps, and even conduct engineering operations for the marching army.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64747255>tercios specializing in anti-dragon operationsI like it.>>64746238>Dragons are bullshitNah, dragons are cool because they cause so much seething.
>>64747230That makes more sense if you've already got the 5.7. I could go either way in that case. It sounds like you might want the steyr more though.
>>64747230Yeah but you got rid of a practical gun and are now considering a peashooter 5.7 or not much scaled up 5.56
>>64747333NTA but saiga shotguns arent exactly practical.
>>64747283Thinking about it, yeah. If I got the PS90 I'd have to SBR it. Not really too bad now that the $200 fee is gone but id still need to buy a new barrel and get a gunsmith to install is, assuming it isn't too hard to do myself. >>64747333desu I think bullpups are meme guns anyways. I already have 7 ARs, a shotgun, and like 20 handguns. This is just for fun now>>64747340It was an AKM. A Saiga 12 would be cool. Vepr better
>>64747365Damn my reading comprehension sucks. I don't know why I thought I read it was a shotgun.

>>64746445>That long extractor design is just cheaper and easier to manufacture.I see that all the time but don't understand. On the Sig the short extractor is just a block of metal, spring, and rod, and it all pops into the gun and magically stays put somehow.The long extractor has two springs, a pin that needs hammered through the frame, and a hole in it for the pin. Nothing about it seems simpler.
>>64747310We’re working on it Since we lack the industrial or chemical engineers we’ll instead make gun cotton the old way and dissolve it with alcohol, dope it with nitroglycerin and roll it into cordite Expert says we can scale up this year and it’s totally safeOur first ammo batch will be so safe I test it out myself
>>64746445Is the new gen good at anything? it's just a downgrade in both the recoil spring and now the extractor.

>>64747212Jeez real boomer hours today>>6474722711. My barrel extension is cracked and is trash and is expendable. However I’m trying to save the barrel to throw onto the new extension I have already sitting next to the barrel vice on the bench. Shits not budging. I’ve applied some heat so far but it hasn’t cracked it yet. I’ve applied enough force already to bend the rails the extension though I do have a cheap eBay trash action wrench.

>>64745488to a certain degree I agree with you anon, nuggets are fun to shoot but most importantly having cheap ammo would be great. I remember in Trump 1 not stacking ammo, in particular 9mm because I thought for some reason it would always be dirt cheap. I was dead wrong. Ill never make that mistake again, but thats what youth is for eh? >>64745694thats a very interesting point anon. Now that you mention it my Polish M44 does have a pretty solid trigger. I need to get my hands on a finnish nugget in person to compare the difference. I will say I do like how immaculate my polack nugget is, everything is machined and finished nicely, shame ive got a rough russian bolt in it tho
>>64707840I imagine getting an sks is gonna be more expensive. Got mine from classic firearms when they got Chinese ones in
The fact that a president of a state could be kidnapped by SOF, doesn't it mean that nuclear war could be "won" against a nuclear power? Just send SOF, kidnap their president alongside his "nuclear football". Point a gun in the head of his wife and kids so he gives up the nuclear codes. Then proceed to nuke each airbase of that country and naval bases with nuclear bombers and SSBNs and the major cities of that country. This leaves only the patrolling SSBNs for launching a counter strike. But still, this "simple" specops mission would have transformed a massive, unmanageable nuclear exchange into a limited engagement that modern Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) might actually be able to manage and thus win the nuclear war.t.

>>64742786>commander of burpleson air force baseHuh. So it is. I always thought it was a UK based air wing.
>>64719453Yeah
>>64719453I kinda doubt there's a SIOP for nuking our own bases. So, having the football, the President, and a general with nuclear authority (somebody has to authenticate that it's actually the NCA reading the codes by reading their own codes) probably isn't enough.

A curious uparmored Sherman
>>64747322looks just like the add-on armour they tried for the Comet tank. it was removed when they discovered it did not contribute significantly, if at all, to protection against anti-tank AP shells.so keep in mind that modern tank spaced armour, therefore, is not just a matter of spacing out the armour. it is how that armour is mounted and spaced, that matters.
>>64747347Interesting
Are there any videos/articles that predicted, either horribly or eerily well, how Russia's war in Ukraine would go? Especially concerning the military campaign.This popped up in my feed for some reason and think it made some good predictions but completely missed the drone warfare aspect and overestimated how well the Russians would do, but atleast captured the fact that it wouldn't be over in days/weeks like some did during the time. https://youtu.be/Z9c_HhpvBpg?si=23WNr_6ZRtzhcFqM

Sp101 or gp100 for my first wheel gun? I'd like to be able to just pocket carry which is why was leaning toward the sp101 but the big fuck off look of a gp 100 is pretty tempting.
>>64747234The SP is just a little too big for pocket carry for most, I'd prioritize a LCR or 442 in that case. For high round counts at the range and OWB in the field, you can't beat the GP
>>64747265Nah, I pocket carry my DAO SP101. It's in my pocket right now. Just get a decent pocket holster and you're good. I like my Alabama Holster Ambi Pocket. SP101 is a great do it all revolver. Small enough to easily conceal and heavy enough to enjoy shooting at the range. That being said, GP100 is a really nice range gun. I wouldn't bother even trying to conceal carry it though.

Does anyone have videos with bad WBP examples form the last 3 years not from kalash boomer guy?>>64744405is that pic related brace? How is it?
Anyone have experience with Polish Night vision optic? It seems, finding a 1NP34/1PN58 is rare and expensive, polish one have somewhat okay prices.
>>64746895I had a 1PN58 before they got real expensive. It worked well enough for gen 1 nv but the reticle led was burnt out and getting a replacement is basically impossible.
>>64746267The brace is decent, feels solid, bit of a pain to attach imo and very difficult to fold but comes with a QD mount which is nice. I actually have the other 1913 standard triangle brace on my M85 and prefer that(although it is harder to mount a sling to it)If you like the aesthetic of the brace go for it

>>64746329Shit my bad, thought that said 22 minute 2 mile. Go for it. Test your 5mi time and aim for 37:30 or below like I said, and look to be able to max or nearly max (>95pts) all AFT events (especially deadlift, it's kinda the "thing" to be good at for Rangers). At RASP you will be smoked when doing most of the gated events, so you want to comfortably exceed the standards before attending to ensure you can pass it all. Ex. be able to do a 12 miler in ~2:30 with 50-60lbs and you should comfortably pass even after getting smoked at Cole Range beforehand. That said, keep in mind that you will have all of OSUT plus however long you spend in pre RASP before you actually do any of this. Your cardio will likely improve in OSUT because you'll be forced to run a lot more.
