How hard would it be for a handgonner to hit a man sized target at 60m?
>>64743971t. Never shot a flintlock
>>64743971Because smoothbore flintlocks simply aren't as chaotically inaccurate as you think they are.Modern made ones with modernly manufactured projectiles are probably better, sure, but a reasonably round ball from a smooth and reasonably round bore should in fact be able to MOSTLY hit a man sized target at 75yds. Maybe not always, and you're never getting laser precision out of this kind of weapon, also flintlocks have pretty long lock time, but grunts of yore DID in fact take aim, fire, and score hits, and it wasn't just a gamble.You learn how to shoot the gun, learn how to follow through with the lock time, and learn how your individual gun patterns, and you should be able to do it.The fact that these guns had ok accuracy at enough range (up to 100yds at its very farthest), is why militaries around the world continued to stick with smoothbore guns over rifled guns. Rifled bores offered supreme precision and extended range, but this wasn't seen as worth it for the much longer and tougher loading time, and thus much lower rate of fire.Thus, rifled guns were civilian life hunting and sporting weapons, and limited specialist weapons.It's with breech-loading muskets and projectiles like the Minié Ball where you can have a rifled gun with its long range and good precision, but also the fast and easy loading (and high rate of fire), of the smoothbore.
>>64746683I haven't watched inrange in years unless he's talking about black powder guns
>>64731447>and that dynamic shooting skill is being enthusiastically given to the worst people in the country.Those people hardly own guns, and definitely don't train or buy ammo. My extremely liberal gun bought his first gun when Trump got re-elected because he literally thinks Trump is going to round up democrats and kill them, and hasn't even taken his Springfield 1911 out of the box since he bought it a year ago. You should not be worried about these people.
>>64729552Not hard. I practice at 50m, and can hit a 9 inch target 8/10 times. .65 ball with a linen patch, with about 70~ish grains of ff black powder.
I can’t believe it took a 30 minute video to say what we already knew, which is that 10mm Auto is the superior automatic handgun cartridge, and that only after having to water it and then .40 S&W down for the women, manlets, and fags in the FBI did they just settle on 9mm because there was no difference at that point. Amazing.>But muh fire rate!Literally doesn’t matter in a combat scenario, doubly so if your shots don’t actually land. Paul Harrell already established this in his 1986 Miami Dade shootout analysis. Lift weights and carry 10mm, anons.https://youtu.be/ZybcWWu4ddk?si=KptwdszD7hCNFTQE
>>6474395845 powah is minimum, anons. Cwrry a 10 or a 460 rowland. 9mm is for faggots and women.
>>64743958I love how you can tell James creamed his little shorts when the fat desk jockey implied 9mm is justasgood as 40 (when you push the pressure all the way to +p+ it outperforms bargain bin 40 loads who would have guessed)>>64745370As a fellow 10mm enthusiast I get the sense the guy you're replying to is pretty high test and probably strong as an ox. I'm using my tenth sense though (if you're a 10mm guy you know what I'm talking about)
>>64744309That carries the risk of failure. These tepid do-nothings just want to talk down to people because so they can feel powerful instead of staying as the nobody they are in real life, but are too scared of looking like they suck (even though they do) to try and improve themselves. Their insecurity drives them to try and tear others down to their own level instead of building themselves up because they're afraid of letting the facade down and letting other people know what a bum they are.Just look at >>64744480. Claims to have surpassed people, but doesn't actually say in what. He's trying to channel the confidence and superiority from the Glen Gary Glenross opening, but he's never done anything so he can't think of anything to claim. He'll probably try and follow up with "I've done X and Y and Z and I didn't say anything because I'm too cool," but if had something to be proud of, he would have led with it. He also admits that this is just a bid to get people to pay attention to him. Just pathetic, literally begging people to pay attention to him.
>>64746902>words words wordsYou’re making all kinds of claims and assertions that you don’t have any evidence of to the point that I think you’re just coping. Not a single thing I said wasn’t a veritable fact, and you ignored nearly all of my points to preserve your own little worldview. Get out of here.
>>64746909>no. you're wrong, so wrong that I'm going to post a picture of me as a chad punching you!You are a sad, strange, little man. You have my pity.
Could Wisconsin take the UP in a special 3 day operation?
>>64746858He could drive there 3 or 4 months out of the year, he’s just being a pussy. But trying it in the summer in an amphib is foolhardy if you don’t have a rescue crew in a chase boat.

>>64746359Save that enthusiasm for whatever VCE engine is going into the GCAP instead of trying to remake a 90s engine.>>64746387Wrong mounting and fuel pump points, plus it's lighter. You're looking a whole redesign for the rear of the aircraft, or the EJ230, both of which will take 5+ years.
>>64746419>for whatever VCE engine is going into the GCAPFantasy, RR themselves confirmed the GCAP engine isn't variable cycle.> Mark Tivey, business development director for future programs at Rolls, tells Aviation Week; “We understand the adaptive engine, and we have looked at that technology for the mission set this aircraft will face, and we do not believe it earns its way onto the aircraft,” Tivey explains. “You will get benefits from such an engine—an economy mode and a warfighting mode—but the trade-off between the cost and the capability is a pretty fine one, and we do not think it is justified in the mission set for GCAP.”
>>64746443Oh. Well, that sucks. I always assumed they'd include it because of the program timeline.
>>64746704The program timeline is exactly why they CAN'T do variable cycle.It's taken the US the better part of 25 years to do with 10's of billions spent.It would likely take RR at least another decade, maybe longer, and likely cost $15-20B. They can do the XFP30 for ~$5-10B and actually meet the 2035 deadline (and be installed in a flying prototype by ~2030-32) If the UK/Italy/Japan could afford to wait another 5-10 years before they wanted it to enter service than adaptive cycle would be a no-brainer, but as it is today, going with a non-variable cycle high-thrust engine is the sane approach to meet their deadlines and provide the performance needed.There is already industry speculation on a block 2 GCAP fighter in the mid to late 2040s with a variable cycle engine.

How come gun ranges are allowed to own prohibited guns and even rent them out to people but they aren't allowed uncapped magazines?
>>64745228Ceeding “low end manufacturing” to focus on the “high end” is dumb because eventually those “low end” competitors level up to start jeopardizing your high end and now you have no fallback point
>>64745250Exactly, though the reason why western manufacturers are abandoning the low-cost segment also has a lot to do with government policyWestern governments are like>you can't produce cars that are too unsafe or polluting, you must respect the unions and can't fire unproductive employees unless they murder someone and if you ever break any of the rules we will fine you billions. We'll be nice and give you tax breaks every now and then if you're in trouble though.Meanwhile in China>here's 100 trillion yuan, cheap land, rural slaves and subsidized materials. You can pollute as much as you want as long as you're producing anything that has 4 wheels and an engine. We'll make sure you also own at least 51% of any joint venture with foreign manufacturers so make sure to steal whatever tech you can get your hands on. Make sure to make EV's instead of ICE cars though, we basically have a monopoly on batteries and you guys suck at making ICE cars anyway.
>>64745276this doesn't make any sense.ev cars are less polluting than ice cars. ev car makers in china have no history as ice car makers but evolved from battery cell makers.in reality every chinese industry hub funded its own player: BYD (Shenzhen), NIO (Hefei), GAC Aion (Guangzhou), SAIC (Shanghai), etc.the west simply doesn't have any such industry hubs anymore.
>>64746264And yet this modern state of affairs is deliberate on the part of the westWe think its good, desirable to have everyone move to subburbs while foreigners come inYou could never scale a company up, like BYD did in the USA or Europe
>>64746264>ev cars are less polluting than ice cars.By pollute I mean that they can dump industrial waste wherever they want because environmental regulations are lax>ev car makers in china have no history as ice car makers but evolved from battery cell makers.Only BYD started out as a battery company afaik. SAIC, Geely, GAC, Chery were all regular car manufacturers before they started making EV's.EV's are also still cars, BYD had to hire automotive engineers and designers to design the frame, body, powertrain, software, etc etc

>>64746791Pretty much the biggest thing that would twig people it was chinks for this shit is them trying to include Palawan of all places.
>>64746722The politicians don't want a strong military because a strong military leads to a military junta.They only pay them enough to contain terrorists in Mindanao and NPA bandits in provinces but not enough to overthrow civilian rule much less kill 10,000 Chinamen a day.The AFP on the other hand realized that coups make them turbonigger tier and prefer to stay professional and as Westernized as they can be but its hard when general promotions are all handled by these same corrupt politicians.
