>>65648541Why was Rhodesian attire so gay? No way I'd wear short shorts in a bug-infested African jungle.
>>65648742cuz its hot there
>>65648742They were probably accustomed to the bugs and shit but also, I've never been there but it's not a nasty jungle like Borneo or something it looks like really lovely country and the bugs might not be that bad.
>>65648621Based battle flag wearer.
>>65648852yeah, the must have been hardened outdoor boys, otherwise theres no way youd want to wear shorts in the bush.
It's getting into brass prep season now, so how was everyone's year?New Matches?Higher Scores?New Builds?New Shooters?Get cozy and lets see those builds, groups, reloading benches, anything precision.Lets hear how you improved this year and what you want to try next year, too.
My .22 cost $600, my scope $200. I shoot off a bipod, no rangefinder, wind calculators anything like that. I watch the grass to see which way the wind is blowing, I note where the first shot went, after that I can put 20 in a quarter at 300 yards.
>>65634429Do you have recommendations for precision optics to put on an M1A?I’ve heard that due to the pretty rough cycling the rifle tends to mess up the 0, in addition to this.As you can tell I’m thinking about buying and building an M1A for precision shooting at medium-long ranges (day up to 1000 yards), note that I’m restricted to .308 due to local laws, I’m pretty new to shooting so I don’t know if there’s a lot of difference between it and 7.62 nato.The why is because I really like the rifle, I would have went for the bm59 but there’s no way of modifying it unless I put in extraordinary effort, having said this is it feasible or am I just chasing the dragon?
>>65648856No, just a standard 20 MOA. 6GT shoots pretty flat. 8.5 mils gets me on center at 1000 yards, so I've got plenty of turret travel left over.>>65649148I don't have any personal experience with optics on an M1A, but I will say I'm partial to Vortex for their warranty if something does go wrong. I don't baby my competition rifles, and between the PST Gen 2's and the Razor I have, things have held up well so I haven't needed their warranty service, but it's reassuring that it's there. As for the difference between 7.62 NATO and 308, generally speaking you don't want to fire 308 out of a 7.62 NATO chamber because on paper they're rated for different pressures. I have a buddy who owns a Springfield armory M1A which is safe with both, but absolutely check the manufacturer specifications before buying.
>>65649148I've posted in /brg/ many times about my M1A experience, but I definitely wouldn't chase an accuracy build with an M1A unless you have a lot of money and a lot of patience. That was my goal with mine I purchased back in 2020 and I have so many regrets. You can't just throw decent glass on it and hope for the best, you'll at a minimum need:>upgraded stock or glass bed the stock>gas cylinder shims/modifications>spend $300+ on a Sadlak scope mount that's almost never in stock anywhere>buy quality glass that'll handle the recoilAll of that to be 3MOA on a good day. IMO not worth it unless you're just absolutely in love with the platform.My 16" BCM AR15 outshoots my M1A any day of the week and it cost less than half of what I had invested in the M1A. It's honestly one of my biggest regret purchases.

>>65648426Not purely hating PSA (I've built several and have since moved on from the brand), but they aren't perfect. The in the most recent 11.5" I helped my range amigo assemble, they forgot to send the trigger guard in the LPK, and the EPT wouldn't reset properly. The gun was essentially semi-auto. PSA did stand behind their warranty, though. They shipped the missing part and a completely new replacement EPT trigger/hammer assembly that worked fine. For most friends/family who will get out to shoot maybe 2-3 times a year, they really are perfect IMO. I wouldn't classify them as "duty grade" but they are gud enuff.

Why won't the US navy create a new variant of the F-18.Replace the twin small engines of the F-18, with a single big engine of the F-35.This would simplify the logistics of the US navy.One engine to serve two airplanes.Doesn't seem something very complicated or expensive.
>>65645584cat-shot brain
>>65645584No you nigger that's not how you super.The ultrahornet needs TWO F135s and it must be EVEN LARGER and UGLIER
>>65646068
>>65646068>>65649014Cute twink, what a shame Navalization destroys lives.
What if they got the F-18 super hornet.Then added the XL wings.And the F-35 engine?
how capable are the salvadorans?
>>65646869That's a royally big if.
>>65648119I know Galils and stuff have gotten around rather plenty in South America, but they were never common police or military issue rifles in North America, nor are Tavors.The Uzi is like the one big Israeli small arm success around North America gov'ts, because it was a pretty good and compact subgun, but that was a pretty long time ago now, Secret Service isn't exactly rocking those old things anymore.
>>65648735And?I'm just saying that islands project EEZs and those claim seabed resources, so islands can often become quite important.Haiti might not have much on-shore resources but almost all clay has value and island clay more than most.
>>65644723>Mussolini and Hitler too.They did nothing special. Both Italians and Germanics were into stylish uniforms long before those two were ever a thought.
>>65644957>what do fixed wing pilots like to wear on their feet?Preferably something that allows them to feel the rudder pedals while allowing their feet to survive being ejected at 500+ knots, and allows them to move cross country over any kind of terrain for rescue.

Is this the most retarded tank design of all time? As big as a King Tiger, but with thinner armor than a Sherman. Showa is most displeased.
>>65646938https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiberson_A-1020
>>65646938>>65648841the reason its so heavy and thinly armored is because its bigthe reason its big is because its engine is a massive radial engine, as well as a poorly optimized layout the engine is fairly powerful by 1942 standards, but its tall as a result of being a radial, which means it has a lot more surface area that needs armoringthe M4 sherman was already pretty heavy for a medium tank for the same reason, the radial engine made it taller and thus had more dead weight armorthe second reason is that it was wasting armorit had 3in thick rear armor, which wasnt exactly necessary it was pretty wide due to having 6 crew instead of 5, which meant more wasted armorso you end up with a tank thats bigger than it should be and resulting in a lot of wasted tonnage that could be spent on armor
>>65646938This guy gets it >>6564846740 tons was the absolute upper limit in Japan. It also had to reach the speed requirement of 40km/h.The engine reached 700hp conversion to ground use. They didn't much like the thing as it was liquid-cooled, gasoline and consumed quite a lot. The air-cooled diesel made to replace it managed around 600hp, yet torque was still very good.>>65647392AA shells were tested out of the gun as it was made from an AA-gun. They didn't have AP round for it right from the start.The loading mechanism was very similar to what was used with several AA-guns, though the gun it was based on didn't have such. Looks like Japanese only used such rammer with few larger caliber AA-guns.I don't know what caused all the issues with this one. Must have been the need to lighten it down in order to balance the weight for a tank gun mount.Second part of mechanism was a revolving magazine in the turret bustle. It wasn't really that advanced mechanism either. They went on to test similar system in Type 61 prototypes, but they wanted to drop price and couldn't fit radio with it. Closest analogue might be the mechanism used in IS-7.At the very least the huge turret could have been useful if they realized the need for a bigger gun.

>every NATO soldier could have had a bullpup AR with an optical sight in the fucking 50s if the Americans hadn't been gigafudds Why is this timeline so ass
>>65645055>M1985Ouch, my bad. 1895 obviously.Anyway, M1918 BAR disassembly is also pretty cursed & definitely something I wouldn't want to do in the dark. Madsen mogs it, Lewis gun is a lot less puzzle-like and only has 1 easy to lose part in the feed system. Chauchat is pretty bad but still has less of that "shift part A exactly to position B and tilt part C backwards in order to push pin D out to disengage part E and remove it by pulling backwards and downwards while rotating counterclockwise".
>>65642815>Name ONE of browning's military firearms that are tougher to dissasemble than its contemporaries.NTA. The other guy gave the obvious answer with the M1895 MG. However, I can also point out that the Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless, the Browning Auto-5, even the Browning M2 HMG was such a pain that the the US military had a few of their armorers specialize solely on fixing/maintaining that gun.>INB4 "this gun is easy."A complete disassembly to fix what's broken is often a bit tougher than a field strip for a basic clean.
>>65642897I'm going with the superiority of the other guy's experience, in his short stint as a cavalryman Churchill would only have handled the carbine versions of said weapons before moving onto his Mauser C96/Webley/whatever sidearm he would have carried as a war correspondent and later in France
>>65645695The 1903 Pocket Hammerless is piss easy to disassemble. I think you're confusing it with the 1908 Vest Pocket.
>>65646614not to mention the rifles he did mention were ancient and ridiculous to bring up in contextChurchill was bragging about having handled a rifle that was phased put of regular service when he was six.
It has been 6 years since Armenia was BTFO by tactical drones. Do you think this served as a lesson for other countries?
>>65648217It was (and still is) within Israel's best interests to arm Azerbaijan and so they do, simple as, nobody cares about Armenia being Christian.

>>65647399Putin is not a rational and clever person. He never had a "Plan B" for Ukraine. He could have never thought that he would need friendship of Erdogan and Aliyev to keep his economy barely functional
>>65644679Russia didn't take much lesson from the 2008 Georgia War.Putin in the 2020s has been an absolute Buffon every single year.>>65647235Armenians have a lot of influence in France. The French government and every presidential candidate was openly pro-Artsakh.>>65647302Are you saying that's what Russia and Wagner PMC did in Syria and African states they were in?
I'm so frustrated God damn range closed till next year nowhere to shoot unless you want to drive an hour or two away this is ridiculous why are they taking away all our shooting ranges
>>65644652I think all the deer being posted are white-tails, anon.American deer are much more likely to be fat than Asian ones because they're Americans, and everyone knows they're fat.

>>656351997 did not launch with telemetry (Microsoft's word for their spyware). The telemetry was added through updates, but amazingly, those updates were optional. Now, Microsoft wouldn't tell you which updates were just for telemetry, but if you knew, you could turn them off and get a 2019 up-to-date Windows 7 install with no spyware.>>65634499>>65634457Vista getting better with updates is mostly a myth, stuff like SP1 didn't actually fix much. Most of the causes of crashes and instability was actually the new driver architecture, which meant that if you bought certain hardware, then Vista would just never run properly on your computer because that hardware manufacturer never put out functional drivers. Lots of small time motherboard companies went out of business soon after Vista came out, which was a goal of Microsoft's because those companies made equally shitty drivers in the 9x and XP days.The number of companies making drivers went down and the quality of drivers went up, it was just that the new driver architecture hadn't fixed things until around Vista's SP1 release.

I hate these cocksuckers and want to hunt them. I know we have a hunting season in my state. What gun and ammo do I need? is a 12 gauge mav 88 with a 28 inch barrel enough?
>>65645071why would I know my weight in kg? I'm not some dickless third world cuck like a yuropoor
>>65636975I actually took my state's hunter safety course because I thought it would fun to hunt these things.It seems like a lot of work for no real purpose.I only have "tactical" style shotguns. I'm worried fudds and game commision is going to give me a hard time about that even thought semi autos are legal to hunt with if they are plugged to a 3-shell capacity and there is no minimum barrel length.My state's hunters are turbo fudd boomers and I assume they are going to be assholes to me.I also have no idea how to cook a goose if I get one.You also need:>hunting license>federal duck stamp>non-lead ammunition>someplace to hunt at
>>65645840yeah, in my state there's a season where you can shoot those homos with an unrestricted mag tube and you can bag 11 a day. I have a normal mossberg with the long barrel

>>65636580It's not a freaking filter. You can clearly see it's contact lenses and make up, the line is hand drawn and not superimposed by filter.With makeup you can make the eye look bigger and the contact lenses with the bigger iris and contrasting color help sell the illusion. In this case she's dragging the outline to create a droopy "puppy eye" but exaggerated it because everything is an arms race and people will go overboard with any trend.
>>65645991>blame HiroshimaPeople post their guns all the time, stop making up excuses
>>65644376Well it's often said the last person to find out a girl is gay is the girl with a crush on her. Lesbians generally operate under dark forest theory rules, rarely if ever broadcasting their sexuality making finding mates incredibly difficult. And unlike gays where you just know a guy is gay, it's way harder to tell with women unless they're incredibly butch. What this leads to is lesbian couples being mostly formed by opportunity rather than discretion. Mind you this is what I've been able to gather as a man so maybe my assessment is incorrect
>>65635852plastic. east asia's most powerful resource
What's the military advantage of hand carrying a artillery shell the front?
>>65648981>probably not a good strategy to look like a gypsy in eastern europeWhy?You might be recruited by Ukraine?
>>65643995>the solution to enemy drones striking at logistical routes is to fall back to a shorter defense line that has better coverage from anti-drone weaponsThe thing is that due to the length of the front itself this seems nigh impossible for either side. Which leads to this decrepit way of warfighting were budget guided munitions get used for constant harassment and probing attacks. Both sides seem to be stretched to the limit of what they're capable of without actually being able to field anything to carry out a big arrow move. Just and endless slog because of a shortage of manpower, equipment and training.
>>65645942The real explanation is that both sides want to kill as many slavs as possible, sell them weapons and buy their ruined land for a penny.
>>65648939Won't work well, Russians take pride in it. Indomitable Russian spirit of slave labour for the glory of Motherland or something.
