>>64697356You're trying extremely hard to put words in my mouth and then argue against them. Are these strawmen in the room with you right now? The tabletop rules are what's canon, because they're not subject to powerwankery (primarily from space marine authors) with varying levels of individual autist-narcissism, because the armies HAVE to be mechanically balanced against all the other factions. There is a natural regulator in the rules development that prevents one autist on the dev team from declaring his faction as the coolest and is better than everything else. 3rd edition rules are the peak and best, but whatever the rules are currently, that's the actual power level everything is, relative to each other. Space Marines aren't walking tanks. Dreadnoughts are. Terminators have the armor that everyone *thinks* standard marines have, and even then they're still not walking tanks. And all the insane bullshit that people apply to marines, like Jedi levels of perception and whatever, only Primarchs could possibly possess that amount of ability. And even then, nah. The fuckin God Emperor couldn't do half the bullshit that are attributed to standard marines in some of the books.

>>64690590>>64692047Guardsmen have krak grenades, vehicles with heavy bolters and multi lasers in mechanized units, and may or may not have mortars, heavy weapons teams with heavy stubbers (M2 machine guns, apparently) and rocket launchersThe tabletop rules are there to make shit simple but in the lore they have at least WW2 levels of integral combined arms. The main exception is that you don't see a SAW equivalent in guardsman squads, but 10 guardsmen with lasguns probably mog the firepower of a modern day rifle squad quite substantially.
>>64698058>Guardsmen have krak grenades, vehicles with heavy bolters and multi lasers in mechanized units, and may or may not have mortars, heavy weapons teams with heavy stubbers (M2 machine guns, apparently) and rocket launchersThese were the arguments made:>Lasblasts punch right through Space Marines>There is no way a space marine could threaten five to ten guardsmen with lasriflesSo again we're just moving the goalposts lmao.
Whats the longest spear that you could theoreticaly use in a phalanx?
>>64694444Dunno about a phalanx but the Irish rebellion of 1798 used ash pikes that were 10-12 feet long and 20 feet at the extreme and the swiss guard renasiance pikes are quite long 16-18 feet. Most tap out at less than 20 feet the sarissa was an extreme that went above 20 feet but not by much 21-22 feet. The practical limit for a man therefore seems to be 20 feet and that's as part of a unit that is using it as a tactical weaponn with the support of pikemen with shorter pikes,I could write you an essay on their use, it's far more complex that simply holding them out or thrusting, shorter pikes were drawen back and flicked out rapidly in a thrust, some had hooks or horizontal projections specifically to catch the reins or bridles or headgear of riders then they were drawn back in pulling the rider or the horse towards his fellow pikemans thrusts. Your worst nightmare as a rider is getting your horses head harness or eiigns caugt in a pike head when you are facing a line of pikemen. It was a spectacularly savage form of warfare, several pike men could phyically elevate an opponent implaled on their pikes into the air and execute in that manner and this was often done to enourage surrender of units remaining standing. Here's a decent overbiew of renassiance pike drillhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHAr7Ewv9rIL

A dragon has claimed your city and is snatching up citizens to be part of its treasure hordeHow would you, an ordinary citizen, take it out with only the weapons available to you? It has tough scales, can fly, spew fire, and is large enough to swallow a person whole. What can you do with the weapons and ordinance of a single civilian to kill it?

Let me guess, you think your airforce needs more expensive higher performance aircraft.You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.
And five of those would lose to a single F-35 and get their pilots killed.
>>64699761>You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.the KR-67 can carry enough missiles to simultaneously shove an AMRAAM and a sidewinder up each and every one of those TA-30's asses. have fun dumping flares while running the radar jammer

Thoughts about Baofeng radios?
>>64698812>I definitely didn't kerchunk my local repeaterNobody really cares if you do. It won't damage the repeater. I've heard pirates get in 40 meters and threaten to kill the president of the united states with no repercussions. >>64698852Nobody will care unless you're being a massive twat. Repeaters are local, so the owner can change the pl code until you guess it again. Even if you were outrageously harmful, people would just change repeaters or get on shortwave. In massive cities, you have hundreds of retards kerchunking repeaters regularly. If the repeater is active, you won't even hear it over chatter.
>>64698812>spy on their meetingsRadio is public access. Even p25 and dmr. There is no expectation of privacy on the radio. Some countries will send number codes in analog voice to their spies around the world over the air. They're 1 time ciphers, so they don't give a shit. Go ahead and listen.
>>64698860>unless you're being a massive twatIt's possible, I don't like to limit myself.
>>64698860I get that nobody cares, but text on an imageboard is so, so much easier to catalog for evidence and why would I hypothetically tell on myself in the alleged case that I'm up to something against even some minor fed rules(which I am totally not doing btw)? I would imagine that making up a callsign and being polite would definitely work with no one batting as much as an eyelash, sounds fun, glad you helped me think of thinking about it. Next thread I'll just pretend that I'm licensed and it'll all be good.

>>64699941Oh, is there only 2 very specific videos?
>>64699941>these two specific instances are representative of a thousand mile frontlineYes. They are.>Ignore any commentary to the contraryThe key word here is commentary.While the Ziggers do frequently try to capture ground using stealthy infiltration with exceptionally small units, sometimes as small as just a pair of two guys, these attempts are almost always unsuccessful and just as likely to get them killed as the meat-wave assaults. The meat-wave assaults are STILL the main tactic employed by the pidoruskies.
>>64700087>While the Ziggers do frequently try to capture ground using stealthy infiltration with exceptionally small units, sometimes as small as just a pair of two guys, these attempts are almost always unsuccessful and just as likely to get them killed as the meat-wave assaults.You dont understand the doctrine. Its a drip-drip-drip approach whereby small infiltrations happen over time and 2 guys become 4 who become 8 and so on until there are enough guys to dominate that ground. In many sections of the front there is no front, its just a grey-zone. The tactic works in that it does result in gains and its better because it results in less meat-cubes. They are currently trying to adopt it army wide, obviously though they are incompetent retards so you still get the classic "entire platoon dies outside a farmers cellar" and other hilarious events. My prior posts were more generally directed at the shameless shilling and less about the general state of the Russian army or the front.
>>64700105>Its a drip-drip-drip approach whereby small infiltrations happen over time and 2 guys become 4 who become 8 and so on until there are enough guysTo fill at rench full of dead ziggers that you then claim are not representative of what's going on.
Which is better? Steam or Electromagnetic Catapults?
>>64698998No, the current type is determined by the way the coils and rotor windings are set up. There's nothing stopping anyone from attaching a DC generator to a turbine and cranking out a few hundred volts. The turbine doesn't care what's hooked up to it, it just spins.

>>64679647>Hopefully big dick Carney makes the right decisionHe just put a fellow former Goldman Sachs alumni in charge of unfucking the military and still hasn't canned any of the retards that were in charge last term.We're in for another 4 years of nepotism and chug gibs assuming he doesn't buy out more ministers and set what's left of their public opinion on fire.
>>64694131>Could triple the budget just by ending gibs to injunsBut then they wouldn't be able to pay lawyers to lobby for more gibs to pay more lawyers!
>>64698119>Ah yes. Those billions that regular Quebec citizens sees so much of. That, once accounted for by capita, makes for less than a week's paycheck per year. As a white adult man who has never been unemployed, never needed medical or social services support and never not been taxed more than you have, I sure as fuck couldn't survive without those.So we're all in agreement that equalization payments can be discontinued then?Surely it wouldn't make sense to continue garnishing the wages of hard working Canadians for a pointless redistribution scheme that isn't actually needed.
Why were the huge Qing Dynasty armies so ineffective in the Opium Wars? They have to be the most one-sided wars in history.
I'm not sure it's actually rapechink, not enough links to archived /his/ threads. Rapechink has posted the same links hundreds of times, and has hundreds of posts in a good melty, enough to hit bump limit reliably. First we have someone (probably Dennis) pretending to be Mikeeusa, and now somebody pretending to be rapechink? I guess having a fetish for being called a retard by anonymous strangers makes one do strange things.

Chile sending Marders to Ukraine, possibly Leopards.Chile has sent an initial batch of 30 Marders to Europe as part of an extended ringtauche scheme. They will be refitted and sent to the Ukrainian frontline. Chile will recieve Skyranger equipped vehicles in return.It is likely that aging Leopard 1s in Chilean service will be sent along with more Marders.Chile planned to refit it's Leopard 1 fleet as missile destroyers and smart mortar carriers as Chilean Leopard 2s and Marders are upgraded by FAMAE and Turkish partners to totally replace all Leopard 1 tanks and M113 remaining in service. Now it seems that the Leopard 1 and YPR76 vehicle pools may be done away with entirely at a rapid pace, sent abroad, as the Leopard 2A4CHL and Marders become the reserve units at an accelerated pace.A staunch NATO ally, Chile has flirted with purchasing new build Leopards over the years as well as Puma and Lynx infantry fighting vehicles with German arms makers even proposing domestic production. The time for that may come soon. With the sometimes hostile neighbor Peru set to soon induct the K2 MBT and an 8x8 IFV variant of the K808 into service and rival Brazil likely to acquire the CV90MKIV and a new yet announced MBT soon, it is likely that Chile, now with a new pro-military cabinet elect will choose to acquire new build modern armor.

>>64699645>screw build extruded alu upper plastic lower posYou can bitch about screws not looking bespoke enough for you, but the SCAR is a pretty damn reliable rifle. Battlefield Vegas reported replacing barrels and the stock once, but not bolts or other components, and this was on very high round count guns.>SOCCOMIESLB.
>>64699856The point is that the rifle shouldn't cost as much. It's as cheaply made as possible
>>64699889My 17 was $2800 I think, and that was a bit above average at the time, but the high end .308 ARs are also all expensive as shit. $4k just sounds like COVID/Summer of Love pricing that never came back down.

What's the best cap and ball revolver? Are they suitable for home defence?
>>64693092Damn, so the AGC guns are off the table?
Can a black powder pistol be kept loaded and ready to fire for an extended periods, like modern cartridge one?
>>64698462Yes, as long as both ends of the cylinder are properly sealed, with oversized balls/bullets at the front and properly sized caps on the nipples. Black powder itself isn't corrosive, it can stay iní a steel/brass container for hundreds of years and nothing will happen to it as long as it doesn't picks up moisture from the air and even then it's just turns into a sludge that wouldn't ignite. On the other hand, black powder residue is a massive bitch, it can pick up the smallest amount of water from the air and form a nasty acid that eats away your gun.
>>64698462>Can a black powder pistol be kept loaded and ready to fire for an extended periods, like modern cartridge one?Yes and no. On the one hand, if it's properly sealed off it can last basically indefinitely but on the other hand that's much more difficult to achieve because there has to be some sort of passage from the chamber or cylinder to the cap or the pan. Sooner or later moisture will infiltrate through the touch hole or sneak around the cap and the powder will start to degrade but there are no guarantees. Maybe the powder will just cake up a little bit while remaining volatile enough to function and extend the life of the charge; maybe atmospheric moisture will seep in and render the charge functionally inert in only a few years - who knows?Either way a loaded and capped BP pistol should remain ready to rock for at least several decades if stored in a cool and dry place.
