>>65046908If you want to keep ammo on the cheap side, the Ruger Single Six is both wonderfully functional and has the look down to a t. Get one that comes with both .22lr and .22wmr cylinders, and you've got some nice versatility.
>>65046908Be sure to add reloading onto the list too; that stuff is both fun and economical. (Depending on the caliber)

The ironic thing is both India and France are trying to screw each other in their dealings with one another.It's likely when Germany leaves FCAS and france needs to find a new funding partner they'll likely turn to India and offer full technology transfer (with the understanding India will take 10-20+ years to actually make anything france gives them). India will be trying to steal IP/knowhow, France will be trying to slow roll the tech transfer and local india production line. In the end it'll probably result in India getting pissed at france in 10 years when they've spent $10-20B and are still 5-10 years away from a jet and 15-20 years away from that jet being built in india. The end result will be India has gained IP it can't fully understand or use/build at scaleFrance will have an 80% complete jet with no funding left to actually finish it and total orders so low that the per-unit costs will be astronomical, killing any potential export sales, which just makes the production scale even harder to manage.
>>65046306>paki propaganda AI slop andLmao okay. Just for reference some of those images are downed paki aircraft (old Mirages) and even so maybe you missed the part where 12 of their bases were rendered unusable and their C&C centre blown up and pakis went begging to their benefactor for a ceasefire. In a real war i'd know which side was "winning">>65046312This is exactly why i'm against the Rafale deal and India's approach in general. It's going to be a shitshow. Just try to scalp (usually disgruntled) the designers/engineers as needed they way they had a German who designed their old Marut or how USA had a Taiwanese as chief designer of the YF-23. Rafale is too expensive for what it is. If they are going to lose other potential buyers lile UAE then Dassault is going to have problems

Where the NVA and Viet Cong seen as scum and lowly by the American troops fighting the Vietnam war? Or was there some begrudging respect between them?
>>65006043>The South had plenty of well respected units, as well. Kingbee crews were considered among the best in the world by SOG operators and all of their marine and airborne units were reliable allies.Do you know what a drop in the bucket those units amounted to compared to the rest of the entire ARVN? The motherfuckers were notorious cowards, deserters, scavengers etc. and considering the steaming dog shit regime they were defending it doesn't take a genius to figure out why. Face it, the 'commie' North who I and many would argue were far more viscerally nationalist at heart were hardcore motherfuckers and didn't require bribes or beatings to fight unlike your 50 year long dead faggot regime. Most GI's who encountered NVA be it Airborne in the Highlands or Marines a the DMZ had begrudging respect of their capabilities at worst and outright admiration at best.

Five hundred yards north there is an island in the River of Perfumes. On theisland a semicircle of miniature tanks is converging upon a frantic colony ofants. The ants drop their gear and sling their AK-47 assault rifles over theirbacks and they jump into the river.

>Winchester 1866 is "Yellow Boy">loads via a "King's Gate"So it's the King in Yellow?
>>65047011one of the weird things about the 1866 is that I'm pretty sure it's the only model where the carbines are more common than the rifles. Well other than the 94s I guess. there weren't that many henrys. most 1873s and 1892s are rifles, not sure about the 76s and 86s and most 1895s are military contract. a decent number of 66s are also military contracts.the 66 also has a way sharper drop in the stock angle than the 73 which has a way sharper drop in the stock angle of the JMB designed winchesters. not sure why they did that but you can find boomers online seething about not being able to get a good cheek weld with the 1866 and repros when they do their cowboy action shooting since CAS bans cheek risers for some reason
>>65047024Yeah, that drop is breddy absurd. Imagine being a Spanish tranarchist in '36 and getting a shot-out Yellow Boy dumped on your by Stalin.
>>65047047Did the 1866s end up in Russia? I know a significant number of 1866s were military contract guns, but I think the ottomans and french bought the 1866s and the russians bought the 1895s
>>65047128Ruskies bought Yellow Boys as well.

>>65035727it wastes the enemies resourcesyou never want to hit a decoy.you want to see them, know they are a decoy, then communicate that it is a decoy to everybody else so that no weapons are used destroying something that isnt a target.or so that if/when a ground invasion happens/advances to the area the decoy is in ground forces can remove the decoy so it doesnt get seen in the future and possibly being a false positive wasting even more time and money.it is literally never a good thing to time and money destroying a decoy.and certainly not boasting that you did so.because it means that either you didnt know it was a decoy because you are retarded or you did and still wastes time and money blowing it up because you are a retard.

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.
>>65038112Humanoid robots are a technological dead-end. There's literally no reason to make them beyond wanting to fuck them.
>>65043802There's already a book about that in the i, Robot universe. Robots from two different companies decide that the other company is a threat to humanity. They have a huge war that rages in the streets where they tip toe around humans because they can't hurt them. People eventually continue on as normal while the robot war becomes a background thing.
>>65043806Are you saying guys in a trench will strap a fleshlight to Boston Dynamics looking bitch? I might, but I'm a werido. Perhaps if they had synthetic skin and other more human-like details, that might make me think that. Otherwise, that sounds like a waste of money. Why coat a bot in fancy silicone accessories and send it into the dirty and messy environment like a battlefield trench? If you just need a humanoid bot to operate in a battlefield, a bare terminator chassis or something similarly simple would suffice, I think. From a logistics point of view>Is it cheap?>Is it easy to deploy?>Is it effective?If it checks all those boxes, it doesn't matter whether it's a spider bot that navigates mine fields, a tracked wagon with a gun on top, or a humanoid proxy to act as a stand-in for humans. With all those boxes checked, it ultimately boils down to>Will this tech allow our guys to accomplish the mission where they couldn't feasibly do it without the aid of said tech?

Imagine it's the medieval times and you are going to war on horseback. Which mighty steed are you riding to battle on? And what weapon are you bringing? Which suit of armor are you wearing?
>>65043906You never wanted a gf/wife that doubles as transportation?
>>65042646Yeah, but not really.While some horses undoubtedly would get ptsd from woundings in battle, or go through one engagement and need to be retired from their injuries, there are tons of accounts from as late as WW1 from soldiers remarking about how startlingly well trained and courageous the horses were.

You would think older people would be wiser and not 100% regurgitate FOX news talking points, but the users their instantly shit on the slightest anti Israel comment and the one who posted it is banned. No actual back and forth debate.
>>65023143Damn, you laid that out perfectly, I never thought of it that way but I have probably felt it without realizing it. Boomers own so much of the country's land and cash, but mostly choose to blow it on garbage or give it to scammers because they are bored and alone. American culture really doesn't favor taking care of your aging parents. Or really even relying on family. Relying on family is such a taboo these days. And because of that the boomers take their money and houses and do stupid shit. By the time they do pass away there is not much left and its too late for to make a real difference in their family's lives. On the other hand, I am a devil's advocate when it comes to inheritance. I firmly believe you should never plan your life and finances around the idea you will get money from inheritance. And pushing the idea that your relatives are morally obligated to give you all their money is toxic as hell. I stand to inherit a lot from my parents, my dad does very well. But I live every day like it doesn't exist. I bust my ass to get a good career to support a future family. Whenever my parents bring up their will I stop them and let them know I literally don't care. I will of course appreciate any gift, but I don't want to know about it. I don't want to think of my parents death as a financial investment. Not to mention, people that DO plan their lives around inheritance tend to blow it all in their lifetime and leave nothing for the next generation.
>>65026960Involving the law in Wills is as bad as involving the law in marriages. It takes a sacred tradition and reduces it to a mundane bureaucratic pain in the ass. If people maintained good healthy relationships with their family and spouses all the red tape wouldn't be necessary. But younger generations want to suckle on inheritance like any other welfare hand outs and boomers are more than happy to selfishly blow all their generational wealth on flashy cars, Vegas slot machines, and political campaigns to import more browns to cut their grass.
