>>64669919>far more experienced in a peer war than AmericaOf course, the level to be a peer to Russia being so much lower than the level to be a peer to the USA, one can argue as to the actual value of that experience.The USA cannot get experience in a peer war because they have no peer.

Post gear, discuss gear.Nylon fabric and fiber support group. Old: >>64628292
>>64668205Correct. I brought that up a couple months ago. They use the same test report for three different weight plates, I checked this on the wayback machine.However, to argue the alternative, this could also be a nominal sizing problem. If you check several of their plates, they use 9.5x11.5 nominal instead of 10x12, exactly like Highcum. Now, like Highcum, this is more likely about 9x11. If you take the SAPI M 0949 and calculate weight to shooters cut 10x12 (7.61lb) then 9x11, you arrive at 6.27lb, which is only 0.02lb off from the report.The 0949 matches no known Highcom model and it's too thick to be the 4S16, which is the closest Highcom spec-wise, albeit no M993 defeat. No drop foam even.
So I did some more digging into Prime Armor, since the 0949 is no longer offered in a "10x12" or "9.5x11.5" - and the 9.5x11.5 is 6.9lb. If you take the not-10x12, at 6.27lb, as 9x11 and make it 9.5x11.5 then it's 6.91lb - again almost right on the dot. This reconciles the "three weights" issue. I think the 9.5x11.5 is actual and the 10x12 is really about 9x11 a la Highcom and nu-RMA. This is irrelevant now because the 0949 is only offered SAPI cut today. Regardless they need a new test report. I shouldn't have to work plate dimensions and areal densities to figure out if the 0949 is the 0949 and is also the 0949. Three years ago they did march a 6.29lb, ostensibly (its not) 10x12 plate to NTS Wichita and it did stop 2x M993 at XSAPI velocity and then two M855A1. The question is consistency. They have no NIJ certs so that's a great start.Their business address is 11709 Boudreaux Road, Unit 530, Tomball, Texas 77375. Pic related, it's the second warehouse on the right, second set of doors. It's right next to Homerun Roofing. Next set of doors down is a liquor store that doesn't know what triple sec is and it's across the road from Slinging Axes and Century Air Solutions. Since Gilliam is making plates in his garage it stands to reason optimus prime can make plates in a decently-sized warehouse. This is only somewhat smaller than what Pinnacle Armor was making Dragonskin in about twenty years ago up until the boss Murray Neal filed Chapter 11 in 2010.
>>64668157>>64668205Alright, here's your infographic on Prime Armor. Overall, their lineup sucks. They have little to offer over name-brand Hesco, LTC, or Protech plates. These people are bumming old test reports like crazy. The 1.3" M855-stopping PE plate is neat but that thickness is rough. Their nominal sizing is definitely Highcom-tier. The 1033 Level IV plate is ass.

What advantage do Chariots offer over mounted horsemen?
>>64667622Somewhat faster and you've got better footing for fighting.
>>64667779Not really. Everyone ditched chariots long before the stirrup shows up archeologically. Some theorize it existed and we just haven't found them (perhaps made of leather which rotted away), but it's not in literary or art sources either. Whereas as soon as they show up, they're in art and literature as it's hard not to talk about them when discussing mounted combat.The "small horse" angle might be correct, although I doubt it. New evidence from skeletons shows Indo-Europeans were riding horses enough to have skeletal deformities associated with frequent horseback riding, long before the introduction of war chariots. (though, carts/wagons were in use). My personal take is that chariot combat was not particularly different from horseback combat in the ancient world. Roman sources describe Germanic cavalry as being directly accompanied by and assisted by infantry; for every horseman, there would be an infantryman working as a team, tagging alongside them, and if necessary they'd hop on with the rider and escape. Even after the invention and popularization of stirrups in Europe, knights from many nations would often choose to fight on foot, using the horse more for transport than combat.

With what we see with the cuck sheds welded onto tanks to try and counter cheap drones is it safe to say that the age of the tank is over?What crucial combat role do modern tanks fill that justifies this huge investment when all it takes is a drone or RPG to get rid of it?
>>64669593/k/opers will tell you that tanks are still viable when in reality they’re not. Grey zones in actual conflicts span around 30 km, with all fog of war lifted sending a tank anywhere is just asking for it to be destroyed before it ever has any impact on the battlefield. That €400 Ali express drone whacks €4.000.0000 US tank with ease and if it doesn’t, just send two. Or three. Or four. It doesn’t matter, spam this shit. In fact, these days it is more economical to produce a tank and blow it up right after it leaves the assembly line. This at least saves you the training the crew, the costs of transportation, ammunition, gas etc. Also all new tank production is jus kept alive to keep these plants running and provide jobs for an electorate that elects the decision makers that keeps the plants open. It’s socialism 101. Also ask yourself this: If you would create an army from scratch, would tanks be part of it? If the answer is yes, your IQ is lower than 85.

>>64659719>they don't, and while energy is more or ess the same 45acp has more momentum so it "pushes" what it hits moreYes, more inertia. 9mm penetrates better but it also deviates more when going through barriers. A 230 grain ball round pretty consistently goes where you place it, even after it starts to keyhole. This is useful when shooting through a car door or a windshield, for example; .45 especially deviates less than 9mm when shooting through a windshield in either direction. Whether or not that's worth giving up the capacity, idk.
