So these were just a fad, right? I mean, you drive four miles, transmission breaks down, you're trapped in a steel coffin, every gun in a fifty mile radius is raining hell on you. Nobody's actually gonna try using these to make breakouts, right?
Gentlemen, it is my thesis that war has not been ended for good, but that we are, in truth, in an inter-war period.
>>65037503Heavier than air aircraft are an inherently flawed concept; the future belongs to dirigibles
Portugal has fallen...
>BAR shoots rifle rounds but is heavy as hell>Thompson shoots pistol rounds and is also heavy as hellWhat if we actually try to make a lighter weapon amd have it shoot some sort of intermediate cartridge, more powerful than pistol rounds yet not as unwieldly as a rifle round?It is quite obvious warfare is now relegated to trenches and urban environments, such a weapon would be right for the job, would it not?
>>65038534The dirigible is a solution looking for a problem, to coin a phrase. Heavier-than-air craft will before long be able to cross the Atlantic, far faster than the lumbering dirigible, with no more than a single refueling stop in Iceland.
Why don't you own a nagant revolver in 9x19mm luger yet? editionold thread >>64803876
>>65035205There is no reason someone would be buying more than one a year other than to resell them. It’s so dumb that the CMP allows this.
>>65037894A lot of people were buying multiple so they could strip parts and assembly factory and drawing matching rifles.

>>65034962I got a service grade M1 for $750 back in 2019. The hoops they make you jump through are pretty dumb but I got a nice rifle mailed to my doorstep, so I can't complain.
My Carcano M91 finally came in, from what I can see it needs a lot of cleaning. The majority of the metal is covered in a layer of thick brown grime. What's the proper method of clearing it up? I plan on getting supplies tomorrow. I'll post pics when the sun is up so I can get better lighting.

How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
Got a retarded question, when a bullet is fired what's stopping the explosion from blackpowder from blasting the holder in their face?Is it due to the initial primer explosion forcing it to go out the barrel way?
>>65035725There's this thing in practical physics called "the path of least resistance"The amount of force required to push the projectile out the barrel to decompress from the powder burn is lower than the amount of force required to decompress back out the tiny hole that the spark that sets off the powder goes through.A tiny, negligible amount of force comes out that hole, but it is so little that it is ultimately harmless unless something else has happened (barrel blockage, too much powder, etc) to upset that fact.
>>65036118Learning about the concept of Path Of Least Resistance will incidentally also give you a better understanding of all kinds of stuff in basic physics.
>>65036876Study it with a philosophical mindset and life in general can become a bit less tough…
>>64888605I wouldn't bother with making a normal Firearm. I'll just make two straight, simple airpipe guns, then tie them together to make a "double-barreled" gun.
>uses less metal than a sword>can be carried in your belt like a swordWhy didn't more cultures have a tomahawk culture? I think only the Vikings, injuns and Americans used tomahawks
>>65032307Bronze ingots were imported into Scandinavia during the European Bronze Age. There were bronze swords in Northern and Central Europe.On a side note: the most accurate lunar calendar of the Bronze Age was invented in Scandinavia, not Southern Europe or Asia.

Does anyone here have experience with 10m air pistol shooting? I wanted get into some form of bullseye competitive shooting that isn't two gun matches since it wouldn't involve me having to run around like a jackass. Plus .177 cal competition pellets are far cheaper than having to stock up on real ammo. I was looking around for an air pistol and I noticed there are massive price jumps.>Air Venturi Steyr knockoffWhile it is only ~$650 online people seem to complain about the grips and also don't appear to be all that accurate after you get out of being a novice>Hammerli AP20 ProI want to get one of these since they seem to be an okay price, but I am unsure what they are lacking being $1000 cheaper than a Steyr, Morini, or even a Pardini>Steyr, Morini, and PardiniI noticed most Olympic shooters go with either a Steyr LP10 (pic rel) but I am unsure what these three offer or differ over the other options other than I know most of the offerings from Morini have an electronic trigger and I know I am not overly crazy over that. But I am not sure dropping $2200-2500 on a pistol when I am unsure if I would even like the sport is wise to do when just starting out.>Used pistolsI see older pistols like Walther CPs or Feinwerkbau pistols go for a lot less on Fuddjoker or ebay, but I am unsure if spare parts exist or if the air tubes have service lives from being constantly filled and unfilled, seals, trigger parts, etc. are hassles I want to deal with.Ty for coming to my retard TED talk.
>>65034611Honestly he has gotten better looking with age.
>>65030088Non-American I take it?
I hate competitive “shooting” with air guns >B-but some cucks aren’t allowed to own guns to practice with!Don’t care don’t compete then.
>>65036757Yeah, though at the Olympic level they decided to use air pistols for the sport that I was competing in was derived from since the late 80s. Quite bizarre since it was apparently meant for cavalry officers
>>65037140It is far cheaper. A tin of pellets is like $15 for 500 match grade ones.
Thoughts on selfdefense insurance? Is it worth it or a waste of money? Money isn't really an issue for me, but I don't want to be in debt for the rest of my life if I ever had to defend myself. Thoughts?I'm no longer subscribed to USCCA, but have been considering resubscribing to them now that I'm getting my CCL.Either them or AOR I have heard a lot of good about, but they charge $100 one time.
>>65038609*$100 as a one time fee
Firearms Legal Protection. They don't drop people like USCCA and, unlike AOR, they have a real network of attorneys.
So when your designated bro-bot joins your squad in the trench, what kinda of roles are you going to give it? Sentry detail seems like an obvious role. It'll never fall asleep and won't have to suffer through harsh weather conditions the same way a human might while trying to stay awake all night. They'd also make good point men, have them kicking in doors and clearing rooms. Having them act as medics to help people in combat zones seems like an obvious choice as well.On a more personal level, would you dress them up? Give them names? Or would you be more detached and treat it like a piece of kit? I don't think individual units would have advanced onboard AI. I figure a bulk of their processing is handled by a control hub nearby, but that connection might be disrupted by ECMs, so some onboard AI might need to act as a backup.

>>65038644Ah. One of the fantasy people. Robots have not only been designed to fit through a doorframe for the past 20 years, but down the aisle of a commercial aircraft. But that's not what you're advocating. There is equipment for every imaginable scenario, sport. You want an omniperfect solution for all types of problems. It's not coming in your lifetime, or mine.

Congratulations General Anon,Due to unforeseen complications with cirrhosis in your predecessor you are now the SEC. The SEC Of WAR. Commander in Chief has greenlit a limited ground invasion and tasks you with ensursing a swift, decisive victory in Iran. He doesn't want pesky things like "RoE" or "long-term regime change" holding you back. The objectives are clear: >1. Reduce Iran to either a failed state or force unconditional surrender.>2. Render them permanently incapable of threatening free passage across the Strait by any means possible.How do you go about achieving these objectives with the fewest strains on the American people and limited American assets?
>>65030144I immediately resign.Not gonna deal with this shit lmao

You've shat your goodwill and trust
I would reallocate all eucom, indopacom, southcom and northcom assets to the indian ocean and cyprus, just far enough off Iranian coasts to be completely useless and far enough away from any actual logistic convenience, then start doing long range strikes that necessitate the use of tanker refuels while forcing the tankers to operate as close to Iran as possible in unprotected airfields right next to AWACS, finally I would send 1 trillion dollars and thousands of kids arrested by ICE, filtered for sexual attractiveness by Peter Thiel's discord age verification program, straight to israel specifically for pedophilic and cannibalistic purposes, and then ask every single ally for military support except israel.

its a clone of the series of russian drones that appeared in the last 12 months , winged medium size that can go further than any quadcopter and carry several times the payload, but uses the same components for communication and control (heavy duty hobby tier servos and shit )its amistery how they avoid jamming since they dont look to be using fiber optics
>>65038521Bruh, the total casualties claimed inflicted by the AFU for the past month was 30,900, or almost exactly 1,000 a day.leaving aside the suspicious specificity of the figure (I'll generously assume they just rounded to the nearest 10), Zelenskyy himself said that this figure covers all casualties of all types, so no,>30K get killed, _killed_ on camera every monthis wrong
>>65036537Donnie is a diddy blud
>>65038618I don't speak yard ape, but this whataboutism gets you nowhere regardless
>>65038543>almost exactly 1,000 a dayIf you'd look at stats all throughout the month you'd see that the numbers go up and down, which corresponds to activity on the ground by russians: they attack more -> they get ACK'd more, they attack less -> they get ACK'd less. Simple as. >figure covers all casualties of all typesa) Stop the retarded WW2 cope, everybody who follows this war knows that there's no such thing as 1:3 KIA to WIA for russia. Because casevac pretty much doesn't exist and neither does field medicine for that matter. Russians themselves talk about 2:1 KIA to WIA. And most WIA actually die afterwards. b) Russians got over 1.5 million additional new soldiers into the army over the last couple of years, yet the army size somehow didn't get significantly larger. Guess where they've gone? That's right - they're fertilizing east ukraine. c) Recently they've started capturing footage better specifically because each recorded KIA coverts to additional gibs for them, thus the quality of verified data shot up and yes russian milbloggers themselves tacitly acknowledge the 30K per month being killed.
>>65038636>If you'd look at stats all throughout the month you'd see that the numbers go up and downyou know over in /tg/ we used to generate pseudo-random figures like that for time series datadoesn't really prove anything>copeI'm just quoting Zelensky himself>russian milbloggers>Russians themselves talk about 2:1 KIA to WIA. And most WIA actually die afterwardsRussians aren't immune to being swayed by anecdotal evidence and they are much given to exaggeration and doomerism, which means they can exaggerate their losses as much as they exaggerate their victorieswe observed something approaching 1:1 from our own data and Zelensky said something like 20% of WIA at least will return to combatZelensky's data is going to be far more comprehensive than some random Russian milbloggers airing their thoughts, as they don't have access to all the figures> yet the army size somehow didn't get significantly largerComment too long.
