Why didn't they just use the 7.62x51 caliber instead of doing something practically identical?
>>64303036This is basically Jim Schatz' idea. If you fill the gulf between 7.62 and 5.56 with a single cartridge using modern ballistics, you can give your soldiers the capability of both while drastically simplifying logistics, freeing up space for a cartridge that fills the gulf between 7.62 and 50 BMG (338 Normag) while remaining man-portable and suitable for vehicles and certain dismounted mission profiles. It's not actually that dumb, you just have to carefully balance weight savings and controllability with capability for the first round, something the NGSW cartridge utterly fails at, especially with the Sig entry (heavier than Textron, more recoil than GD).
>>64303073>If you fill the gulf between 7.62 and 5.56But they went into full rifle cartridge, "between" would look like FN 264
>>64303092Yeah, exactly. We don't know how the LICC performs, but something like 6mm ARC would have been absolutely ideal. Bump up the pressure and give it weight savings with CT or polymer case, and you can literally carry more ammo than 5.56 while having greater range and similar effect on target to 308 from shorter rifles with only slightly more recoil than 5.56x45.Even with polymer cases, .338 Norma would still weigh more than twice as much as .308, but that's a different topic.
>>643031106mm arc or .22 arc? discuss and reply to three classmates

Assuming that the technology of the Martians matches with the original war of the worlds(Tripods, heat weapons, black smoke etc), and this takes place in 1905 what options do you have ?>Artillery ?>Early Aircraft bombs ?>Naval warfare only ?Hard mode: No using disease or Martian biological vulnerability to Earth
>>64298219>Traditional gas masks were ineffectiveWe're talking pre WW1. Seeing as how the black smoke reacted with water, a soaked rag would already provide protection like it does for chlorine gas.>The problem was the tripods moved too fast to be targeted at range or via indirect fireMartians had no understanding of indirect fire and forward observers already worked well with heliographs.

>>64298186>heat weaponsit is interesting how the heat ray acts more like a real life laser than most movie depictions despite predating real life lasers by decades>fires an invisible beam, with a flash only at the muzzle and the target>no noticeable sound other than the mechanical parts of the weapon>non-organic material like water, stone, or metal are vaporized at the point of impact, causing a small explosion from the steam>organic materials catch fire or are burned to a crisp

A one ton bin of MG ammo isn't 200 individual bullets. It's 200 turns worth of shooting from a single MG, with each turn lasting 10 seconds.
>>64295475In addition to the previously-mentioned options, there's also MegaMek, which is a completely free fan adaptation of the tabletop rules. Alllllll of the rules. Including the wacky optional ones that nobody ever plays with on tabletop because they're too much trouble (the computer handles it for you). Oh, and you can play single-player, coop with a DM, or PvP.

Since Mossad has done some spooky shits in the years before how hard would it be for them to completely annihilate the russian chain of command(comms, leader,...) so they cant fire nukes back?
>>64302952Go to /pol/ and ask them.
>>64302952Why would Mossad do that? Firstly, Mossad was created, funded, and trained by KGB and have a very close relationship to Russian Intel agencies to this very day. Secondly, the Israeli and Russia military work very closely together, sharing intelligence - and other things - like Israel giving the codes of the UAVs they sold to Georgia to Russia in return for Russia giving the codes to the SAMs systems they sold Iran and Syria to Israel. Thirdly, during the Syrian war, Russian and Israeli military and intel agencies met daily for briefings to keep in close contact with each other. Israel loved having Russia in Syria because Russia attacked the Iranian back rebels for Israel so they wouldn't gain a foothold on Israel's border. Morerover, Israel refuses to sell Ukraine weapons, EW equipment, and NSA type software to use against Russia and refuses to approve the transfer of Israeli weapons, EW gear, etc. from third party countries to Ukraine. Furthermore, Israel is home to millions of Russians, with something like 28% of Israelis speaking Russian. The millions of Russians in Israel are a major voting block for the Likud party - which is Benjamin Netanyahu's party, and those Russians control a sizable portion of the Knesset and wield a lot of political power therein. Also, Putin and Bibi are literally BFFs, and have been for decades. Russia and Israel LOVE each other, and share a close relationship since before the founding of Israel. With some of the first big migrations of jews into Israel in the early 1900s being Russians, and Russia being one of the first countries to support and recognize Israel after WWII. Russia is also responsible for funding, training, supplying, and supporting Israel during the 1947 war. If not for Russia, Israel would not exist. There's also the fact that like the first dozen Israeli PMs being from Russia, or the USSR.
>>64303120Israel doesn't respect russia that's something to keep in mind

A while back in India there were these Christians who had a statue of jesus and one day the statue stated leaking water, they all thought it was a miracle and started drinking the water. It turns out the water wasn't from the jesus it was from a busted sewer pipe, that was sewer water. The guy who found out tried to tell everybody and they had him arrested on blasphemy charges

does anyone know anything about KH knives im thinking of getting one but i cant find anything about the company nor find the knife on any site except one in my country
>>64298909The Kizer Banish has been my favorite. It's the perfect little knife for normal events where the people around me might be scared of something larger, and the shape and locking mechanism are perfect. It's really fun to flick open.

They "assist" the NG helping out during disasters like a hurricane of tornado doing all the shitty work like handing out water and MREs. Yeah there are a few things like S&R and learning some radio stuff, but again, they do the grunt work that our NG doesn't have time for. I thought it would be cool to serve the state until I was told that it's unpaid and you have to buy all the gear they require. Like I said, it's an adult boy scouts.
