>>64760702Old but topo doesn't change very often, you'd probably be aware when it is. Not using these for roads obviously. never bothered to find something newer, report back your experience of the newer one if they print good and are accurate enough it's good to know alternatives.
>>64758649Per the website it's apparently IIIA and good for 9x19mm / .44 magnum. I saw an old catalog saying IIA, so it sounds like you can order either depending on your requirements. Can I get a IIIB?>The result of two years of additional development, this self-defense device, unique in the world, completes the equipment of any good bodyguard.With NIJ 3A protection, this umbrella protects you from 9mm to .44 Mag revolvers and submachine guns. The ParaPactum® is compact, durable, and easy to deploy. Weighing 4 kg and measuring one meter in diameter, it is the perfect ally for close protection.>>64758558Yeah, it doesn't seem half bad.

>>64760300F4U was a 1938 design which competed with the F5F, the chosen design used a R2800(still in development). Grumman started work on a an aircraft powered by a R2600 in 1938, dropped it and started again in 1940 still using a R2600, it didn't adopt the R2800 until later prototypes. 1940 P-47 was changing from an inline to radial fighter. The Marauder isn't a fighter.

Say you re an intelligence agency and you need to track a guy of a previous regime, and he just picked a remote third world location you dont know, crossed them border got a bit of surgery and integrated in some rural village there, without having contacts with anyone of his previous life.How do you track them down?
>>64761513>just picked a remote third world location you dont know, crossed them border got a bit of surgery and integrated in some rural village there, without having contacts with anyone of his previous lifeThere's gradients of third world. If you buy a condo in Thailand under a false name with a legitimate passport you had made before you fled into exile and a photo and biometrics just different enough from your official passport to not ring any alarms, you could live out your life in peace.You couldn't interact with tourists though because one person from your old country who is shopping in the market and goes...>lol that sex pat looks like the potato peeler with a tan and a wig...and snaps a stealthy pic to post to friends, and you're fucked. Personally, I'd hang out in the carribean and live the sail boat life.Plenty of little islands you could settle on and avoid tourists.
>>64761513You have to never go anywhere there are cameras, people from your country or anywhere that cash is suspicious. Modern KYC laws are fucking awful for innocent people, they make life pretty challenging for the guilty who are trying to remain anonymous. You basically have to live in a cabin innawoods, or some beach equivalent. You can't go to a ski resort, a cafe, a mall...nothing with too many people or anything international. You can barely go online.It gets much easier if you have friends or a host nation who'll hide you and won't betray you. That last part is a bitch though.
>>64761513If he's on your radar then knowing the basics of the time, date and destination of his departure really helps track him. During GWOT, spooks were tracking people through sparse cell phone contacts in remote tribal regions in the middle of nowhere.>in some rural village there, without having contacts with anyone of his previous life.Nearly impossible if he wants to maintain a lifestyle above poverty. It's unbelievably hard for people to break habits, traditions and lifestyle. He would have to have no previous hobbies, no children, no parents, no girlfriends, no vices, no business, no bank account, no online browsing habits and no contact with anyone in the outside world. And the kicker? He would have to maintain this for the rest of his natural life. In essence he would be placing himself in self imposed exile and maximum security incarceration levels of isolation just to maintain opsec. People are REALLY fucking hard to disappear if a government is looking for them, double if they were someone important.
>>64761850And yes, before someone adds:"What if the host nation is friendly and keeping him comfortable?" Even worse. Previous relationships are the first thing a targeter establishes when someone goes on the lam. Every email, every text, every piece of SIGINT that they cam get their hands on is analyzed and kept for future reference. It's not just your database you're searching either, it's allied nations and friendly actors in hostile nations that you're working with, How much money would the guy pay to the third world general to stay hidden? I guarantee the amount can be dwarfed by any western intelligence agency motivated enough to find him, the only thing he can do is die uncomfortably or violently
>>64761850Most critical of all, can you change your gooning habits? The second your old gooning fingerprint shows up in Utah, it's over.
Russia has ran out of shaheds now that Iran collapsed into a civil war. The latest strike was only made up of 10 drones
>>64761397There was the bongolian dept of defense saying that over 425k ziggers died just in 2025 alone- now the metric about 100 dead ziggers per sq km makes a bit more senseDamnThat's about 100 ziggers in a 1/4 acre I think?
>>64761416A square km is much biggerm^2 = square of 1m by 1mare = square of 10m by 10m = 100 m^2hectare = square of 100m by 100m = 10000 m^2km^2 = square of 1000m by 1000m = 1 million m^2acre = 66ft by 660ft, which comes out to 4047 m^2
>>64761426Forgot to mention that an acre is about 20.1m by 201m
>>64761408Why is russia still fighting after 4 years if they're winning so hard?

>Kind of want to buy nicer sights for my rifle >know that it's just a waste of money because I'd have to get smithing done to get them put on and I only shoot that rifle at steel at point black range so any feature the nicer sights would have would be pointless and I have another rifle that I do shoot at paper targets with that has nicer sights that are almost identical to the sights I kind of want >tfw
>any feature the nicer sights would have would be pointless and I have another rifle that I do shoot at paper targets with that has nicer sights that are almost identical to the sights I kind of wantWho fucking cares Anon? The first rule of firearms is to have fun. Why are so many of you so fucking weird about this shit?

New Abrams just dropped

>>64761192just need to call them AILoaders, then they will be good
>>64757148Wdym our response? We have the Leo2a8 which makes this Abrams look like a proper shitbox.
>>64761124In fairness, there has to be a tactical and/or strategic advantage in your fancy top-of-the-line tanks looking basically the same as your more numerous, slightly outdated ones.
>>64761755Production and handling ones too. There's also the possibility of a wartime budget-friendly improvement program to bring some but not all of the new improvements to the older tanks if you're ever in a pinch for those newer capabilities. Like maybe you can't remanufacture all the A2 inventory with the new turret fast enough, but replacing the RWS with the new one equipped for drone interception is probably a much easier task and still gives you a significantly more survivable vehicle in some scenarios.
Whats the realistic largest object you can camo from Air surveilance?
>>64760194Not true. Perfidy only applies to units involved in combat, (among other things, but specifically in this case) disguising yourself as a harmless civilian while intending direct harm to the enemy. Feigning non-combatant status, with combatant being the operative word. The intent of defining this act as criminal is to avoid situations where bystanders and civilians end up killed or wounded out of paranoia, just in case they might be the enemy in disguise.A factory does not directly participate in combat and is not a threat to any aircraft. Hence, disguising it as a residential area is not a war crime. Well, as long as you don't hide anti-air weaponry beneath the camo. But in that case it's the act of disguising the weaponry, not the factory, which is in breach.If you somehow consider industry to be enough of an active participant in a conflict to render this act criminal, then so are civilians, also, rendering the whole argument moot to begin with. They run the machinery and the society enabling hostile action against you, don't they? Just as valid in that case.Anyhow, there's no need for Reddit-tier thinking, where you jump to a conclusion based on some half-remembered fucking factoid.
>>64761578Denying soldiers dressing as civilians is to remove incentive to attack civilians.Disguising military factory (all aircraft factoties are military) as civilian houses is just giving enemy incentive to attack civilian houses (not like Allies needed it to firebomb civilians though).
>>64761613As if people would waste munitions leveling random neighborhoods in the hopes that one might in secret be an industrial facility, considering the accuracy at the time, instead of using, you know, intelligence and landmarks to get an idea of what to hit. Simple cruelty being outside the scope of this topic, that is.Nevertheless, it's not a war crime. Sure, a perverse incentive or not, but the written word refers to combatant and non-combatant status. Non-combatants can pretend to be whatever they want. Fun fact, the British built a fucking cathedral-ass sewage pumping station. (Check out Crossness Pumping Station at your leisure.)I mean, the firebombing of Tokyo did have great effect on the dispersed workshop-level industry scattered among the city. However, the argument on whether a war crime occurred on not revolves around the civilian casualties and devastation involved, aimed at the USAAF. Not the fact light industry was intimately nestled with civilians.
>>64761578>>64761613>>64760194All rules lawyers need to shut the hell up. You are a bigger waste of air than theologians discussing needlework.FACT: there has never been a conviction for war crimes of the WINNING sideFACT: it's only a war crime if you loseFACT: adhering to the laws of war only makes you more likely to loseFACT: international laws were imposed to make weaker sides less likely to succeedThis has been your mandatory reality check.

I am about to import 80,500 of these indian hesbee 22 short single shot handguns. They are currently in transit being shipped from India.They have sat in storage as they were built in 1959 as gunlaws became more restricted in India. If you were in my shoes, how do I make this business venture successful. I purchased each pistol at 2160 rupees (around 24$) and they cost me ($1500 for import and $5000 in shipping) so i am in for abit under $2mil. Do you think people will actually buy these or should I put my house for sale ASAP?

>>64754190>Australia>1.5 TFR decaying socialist shithole of maybe 15 million whites>Indochadia>300 million strong, 2.2 TFRThe west has reduced itself to irrelevance over the last 60 years, now we are living in peak delusion
>>64761511F111s were also able to drop nukes. I don't know why Indonesia is freaking out about Australia when China has plans to steal their ocean territory.
>>64761502>The RAAF is intentionally designed not to be unequivocally stronger than Indonesia's air force so as to avoid triggering an arms race with then.Well that’s failed hasn’t it, Australia has the most lethal air force in the region and Indonesia is buying everything on the market (bar the Gripen and Eurofighter, which considering their eclectic collection is weird)>Indonesia's air force should be stronger in Indonesian airspace, Australia's air force should be stronger in Australian airspace.Above the actual major population centres above Java, Sumatra or Borneo yes the Indonesian airforce would be dominant solely because it’s their home turf and the majority of the air defence and ship-to-air missiles are going to be around there. But I truly believe that the air space above above West Papua and the southern isle’s would be contested or outright owned by the RAAF. Meanwhile the only Australian territory at risk of the Indonesian airforce is the Cocos Islands, you are completely right in the fact that the air space above Australia itself will be Australian control >>64761511It’s worse now because the Australian’s can bomb Jakarta a thousand kilometres away, they don’t even have to put their aircraft over the Indonesian mainland before dropping ordnance.>>64761522It won’t be the last time either, off the top of my head they are fielding combat aircraft from America, Russia, Brazil and South Korea. And will soon be fielding French, Turkish and Chinese aircraft, what an absolute nightmare.
>>64761556And to continue because my post got too long>300 million strong, 2.2 TFRAnd how are you supposed to field them when the Australian’s sink your navy and blow up your logistics aircraft on the tarmac? Your one advantage is that you have numbers and the only countries that could overcome that is the US and China, any other country would do the smart thing and sink your shit with long range munitions like the Tomahawks and LRASM’s like that the Australian’s have and then wait you out as the guys in Papua and Aceh decide to boogaloo
>>64761502That was certainly a concern back in the mid cold war, but I don't think it's been part of RAAF procurement more recently.

>>64753271Damn man. Let us know how it turns out. The only gripe I had with mine was that it was a little rough feeling, and I solved that by taking the trigger mechanism apart and hitting all the sliding bits with 0000 steel wool.
>>64757807Yeah it was kinda like that when I bought it too, but I just slicked it up by opening it up and cleaning/oiling it first and then dry-firing it an untold billions of times while watching TV. I do that with every new revolver I buy, regardless of brand, because I’m too lazy to polish them.
>>64750184>>64748573Gawd I love ruger revolvers. Also how do I find those grip doo hickeys?I need to get my doo hickey on
>>64748441Got mine for $700 with original box and paperwork. The guy even wanted to sell me a Hi-Power P-35 for $300 if I bought them together but I turned it down (wish I hadn't). Still happy with the purchase but I do want to get a Hi-Power eventually.
>>64757887Look up grip adapter on ebay.There is a guy that makes repros for 30 ish. The originals are expensive for some reason but sometimes you get luckyThe repro i have is specifically for a k frame but it is close enough.I have a nice collection of ruger revolvers. I have plenty of other revolvers but I prefer ruger over the others.
