>>64688112I would count it as a blessing and just take it for what it is. If thats the bullshit they put you through over needing a filling what other bullshit could possibly be waiting for you. t. Former army fag that wishes he could have gotten booted for needing a filling.

Still talking to yourself Robert?

Thoughts about using TELs for transporting an EMALS catapult so It can launch full size UCAVs from anywhere?
Implessive!
>>64690569It only seems to have 1 segment
is EMALS the new fotm tech that thirdies will obsess over?
>>64691450Yes, because the USS Ford still can't launch F-35's, and the USS JFK is still AWOL
>>64691459but american hedge money relies on F35s!what do I, John Q Public, do about this?
Could the Dutch Navy, with black pearl skeleton powers, have defeated the Japanese?
>>64691338The black pearl is a normal ship and the skeleton pirates are not immune to bisection, so the japs would have defeated them eventually.
>>64691360They could keep recovering their ships from Davy Jones' Locker if they had these powers.
Dutch, easilythe skeletons would be effectively supersoldiers; no rations required, no sleep, no exhaustion, no painfurthermore because they can come back even if scattered, very little care would have to be taken towards preserving livesthis would not allow them to fight on the seas with impunity, but what would occur is likely guerilla wars at every naval base Japan has off the mainlandDutch submarines would disembark marine contingents to harass and impede Japanese efforts while also impeding merchant shipping through boarding actions; this would inevitably lead to operational contraction. The Japanese would be unable to effectively supply any offensive actions.
Lets settle this once and for all /k/.Using the charging handle to reload is better than using the bolt release on the AR-15, to always ensure a properly seated round, correct? Using the charging handle doesnt take that much more time either.
>>64686846>picatinny rail on the stock
>>64687919this
>>64686846no, you are completely wrongbolt release is repeatable and predictable, charging handle introduces variability, plus if the bolt is locked back from emptying the mag you have to hit the bolt release anyway
>>64686846No, not correct. The bolt release is one of the biggest reasons AR15 has one of the best manual of arms.God and Eugene worked together to bring you thumbs and the bolt release. Use them.
>>64688016this
Not much of a statement besides that the flight time was a little under three hours, they mentioned it 'flew along the flight orbit set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea' which typically means they did something fancy like draw a pair of figure eights or something like that to show off.The statement was very short and there were only two images, usually this means that the next day there will be another announcement with significantly more detail when they know it didn't go wrong.The long flight time is why the launch images are at early dawn but the impacts are in daylight.1/2
>>64691008And one of those hapless islands they are slowly deleting with weapons tests. Wonder what the job of making building shells whose sole purpose is being blown up is like, personally i can think places i'd rather be than a construction site in the middle of a Nork weapons test range. 2/2
>>64691008>>64691020nice, keep us posted with the announcement and detailsi think the buildings are to provide a target both to check accuracy and maybe warhead effectiveness (granted, not nuclear, but should I be live testing a vector, i would also check some other conventionnal warhead) (maybe im retarded and the building and the rocket launch are unrelated)i like you norktard, i wouldnt care a bit about best korea without you, but you keep feeding me good info and propaganda
>>64691391>not nuclearAs long as there is a Toropets explosion thread up it was nuclear since as you can clearly see from the second image the explosion is orange.
>>64691020Not bad CEP.
Speech: http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/5ceed4f1eb2058145a9bbbc60fcf07dd.kcmsftl;rd: Basically they want a nuclear sub fleet and are building a Blue Water navy, new surface ships explicitly referred to as 'Attack Destroyers'1/4: It is large.

>>64690848Wonder how many rectors they have laying around now. Could always try to raise a sunk one. Or nuclear battery AIPWe need to send SK a Los Angles Class pronto
>>64690812>the SBU is sinking russian cargo ships carrying nuclear reactors in the AtlanticWhat the fuck even is this timeline anymore.
Say what you want, but you have to admire these retards just a little bit. They spooled up their own functional nuclear weapons program, actual working ballistic middle program, and now have a fucking SLBM nuclear submarine all while under crushing sanctions and the watchful eye of every nuclear security government agency or NGO on the planet.
Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
>>64689836if it chambers its fine
Some anon posted about a Remington 1740 (two 870s bolted together through longer pins on their receivers).Since 870s are getting fewer each year, I'm wondering if a pair of 20 gauge Mossberg 590s (one for lefties, one for righties) would work just as well?I'm not getting a DP12.
>>64680210>You'd have to wrangle with US Customs to bring those parts kits in.I could do it if I could get a paki to be my cut out buying them in bulk from afghanistan and running them out of pakistanNODs would be stripped to the tubes.
>>64691101It would work just as well, if there was such a thing as a left-handed 590, which there isn't. There's no such thing as a 20ga 590 either.
>>64674785Just got the S&W CSX e series for a family member and I’m curious if it’s drop safe without the thumb safety on, I know it’s based off of the 1911 but it has a trigger safety and I’m wondering if they should carry it with the safety on like with a 1911 or hi power
Holidays and winter ops. Any front, any era. Post winter /k/ino. Almost didn't make it home in time to post this year's thread.

I need a safe for muh gunz. It needs to be able to be wall stabilized or not a tipping hazard. Needs to be able to fix six rifles, and around a dozen pistols. Other room for bullshit like mags and ammo, and bullion would be ideal. It doesn't need to be high end, it's quite literally only being purchased so small children cannot access it with ease. I am not worried about burglars.
>>64687756>But aren't they harder to pry open if they cannot be laid flat on their backs, by bolting them to the structure?A 10-pound prybar doesn't give a fuck. You can ram it straight through the door of some of the cheaper psuedo-safes, and if the lock bolt is significantly stronger than the metal the door's made out of you can literally rip the door off of them. Or attack the hinges and snap the back of the door off. People all too frequently overestimate the value of a lock compared to the material holding it in place.
>>64686838>wifi door sensorSome asshats doing invasions use jammers or may seek to cut your ethernet before a burglary (while cosplaying as AT&T linemen working on stuff).I was thinking about getting a wifi fisheye camera for indoors but I don't want footage inside the house recording audio-visual to be used against me in court.
>>64686760Yeah, I would recommend this exact model to OP. I have it and it works great. Lots of space for rifles, pistols can go on the shelves. Just put the pistols in handgun socks and stack them on top of each other. Decent amount of room for ammo cans too, but definitely get metal ones and not plastic Plano cans, they don't fit as well.
>>64685849>I need a safe for muh gunz.what was the name of the safe company that gave all the combinations to the feds without a warrant? Dont buy one of those.
>>64685849Stack-On style security cabinet is the way to go here, except for some caveats:They are good for long guns with irons. Once you add optics the stated capacity is halved.They are not often good for pistols, because shelving space is limited. >>64686760is the only model I've seen that doesn't have this problem, but you could always buy two and diy shelves.Where these fall down is fire/water/insurance. Most (((insurance companies))) don't consider these to be gun safes, so they will scheme you out of a claim by saying they weren't properly secured. On that note, check your homeowner's policy, mine had a $1500 coverage limit for guns and ammo (topkek). I have a supplemental policy and am going to be upgrading this year to a Harbor Freight safe for increased capacity and nominal fire protection. Going to bolt it to the wall but raised on blocks. Until you get to high four-figures all the safes can be pretty easily defeated with power tools, but if there's a flood the safe won't be sitting in water.Unless you live in some weird municipality I wouldn't bother with ammo in a safe. Check Craigslist/FB Marketplace for used locking metal cabinets for that if you have the room, but be forewarned that gunboomers have nothing on FB retards for the "I know what I got" factor.
would a starship-based gunship or dragon-based gunship work?
>>64687787i mean just shoot a rod very high up and have it accelerate directly down at the enemy's bunkers/air defenses/whatever. hard to 'shoot down' a dense thing going 10km/sthis is way cheaper than keeping a space station with rods up which is a constant target. the drawback is the time to target is like over a whole day
>>64678625>wallanot sure if belter or ESL ground-dweller.
>>64687787>>64687834deorbiting still needs Δv. so you not only need to put the rods up there but also a deorbiting motor.The only advantage I can think of is less warning time than a ballistic launch.
>>64685647BS. Dragon 2 is the most modern and arguably functional, of all flying crew or cargo capsules. Starship is still in heavy development but mostly works as planned.Still waiting for Ithacus.>>64688119>>walla>not sure if belter or ESL ground-dwellerLurk moar.>>64688185If it's a payload on a ballistic arc, even if travelling orbital velocity, it's still going to reimpact the launch point in 90 minutes without a circularization burn. This is an advantage, as the booster or payload for a point-to-point attack can thrust at apogee to do things like plane changes. Apply some REDACTED crossrange tricks and you've got a non-nuclear strike weapon.
>>64688852they could also use dragons as the crew section of the larger spacecraft. like have a 2 docking ports for dragons and always have on attached for rescue operations if the main spacecraft has problems
imagine a zombie apocalypse scenario and you have to clear out this structure

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.

>>64634596I don't care about all that, but they aren't swords. They are serrated clubs. They cannot perform as a sword as they cannot parry and riposte in the same action.
How is Ukraine able to receive this quality of video feed and send controls to low fly drones targeting airbases inside of Russia?
>>64690002*Nuclear futureElectric cars are fat, gay, and bad for the planet. Biofuel or hydrogen combustion are the only futures worth believing in.
>>64691026>*Nuclear futurenookular is also worth pursuing, but we've already reached a tipping point of renewables being now (mostly) cheaper per kWh than fossil fuels: the technology is continuously improving, and as more people are using/producing them the costs are naturally decreasing through economy of scale (something fossil fuels already have on their side)>bad for the planetdepends on the battery type; options are also continuously improvingfor one example off the top of my head, sodium-ion batteries (once commercially viable) will be much cheaper and greener than lithium on account of being so much more plentiful and easy to extract, although with a lower energy density
>>64690034Grid scale batteries are about as big of a meme as fusion for the time being, and solar has such a low capacity factor, using it to charge the batteries is an even bigger meme.>have to have enough storage to meet demand for 1/2 to 2/3 of a day when solar can't reach its peak output>have to have enough solar to generate power for the 1/2 to 1/3 of a day and to charge the battery>to replace thermal and nuclear capacity with batteries and solar will require you to build 10x or more the capacity of solar and then figure out how to handle shortfalls (even more generation and storage)
>>64687714You can't criticize north stream in germany, they want to jail any ukie diver for it, just so they could restrore relationship with russia in future
>>64691379ISTM that german leadership is more ambivalent about that, weaning itself from russian gas.They want sabotage to be punished because it hurt german interests, but that doesn't mean the status quo ante will be restored.

>>64691303and?
>>64691303if youre going by notional levels thats just stupidthe gdp to debt ratio was higher during ww2 than it is now, significantly so
>>64691330>Figure 1 shows the path of the public debt/GDP ratio in the United States from fiscal year 1941 to fiscal year 2022. We see that this ratio grew rapidly during World War II, rising from 42% in 1941 to 106% in 1946>The GDP data is sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Please note: This chart is updated as new GDP data is released, even if new debt data is available. The average GDP for fiscal year 2025 was $30.36 T, which was less than the U.S. debt of $37.64 T. This resulted in a Debt to GDP Ratio of 124 percent.
>>64691345interesting you use the gross debt to gdp number for 2025 but the public debt to gdp number for ww2is that maybe because it helps your arguement?
What are the strategic implications of Russia deploying (literal) cavalry wave attacks against Ukrainian positions and drones in the last month of 2025? Has the eyebrow been raised?
>>64683633i wonder how many many russians lie torn to pieces in a nameless field in Ukraineprobably almost none of these guys will be found and given a proper burial, just another tally mark in a Ukrainian droner jacket, and a "MIA" the russian government wont have compensate back at home

>>64691271>It was a family heirloom, goddamnit!Plastic isn't easy to come by, as new as the technology is, it's mainly limited to the two major cities.
>>64687436We could have stopped this even before in 2014. Instead the whole West behaved like faggots thx to the German and our stupid French president at the time. It really drives me crazy to think this whole mess could have been put to a stop 10 years before. Russians and Ukrainians were still fighting hard but because it was limited to the Donbass and Ukraine never imagined retaking the Crimea, nobody gave a fuck and acted like it was normal behaviour for Russia
>>64691305>and acted like it was normal behaviour for RussiaTo be fair, it was. Whether said behavior should be accepted by western countries is another matter.
