I can’t believe it took a 30 minute video to say what we already knew, which is that 10mm Auto is the superior automatic handgun cartridge, and that only after having to water it and then .40 S&W down for the women, manlets, and fags in the FBI did they just settle on 9mm because there was no difference at that point. Amazing.>But muh fire rate!Literally doesn’t matter in a combat scenario, doubly so if your shots don’t actually land. Paul Harrell already established this in his 1986 Miami Dade shootout analysis. Lift weights and carry 10mm, anons.https://youtu.be/ZybcWWu4ddk?si=KptwdszD7hCNFTQE
>>64746909>no. you're wrong, so wrong that I'm going to post a picture of me as a chad punching you!You are a sad, strange, little man. You have my pity.
>>64743972PDW+PSG is a vastly superior solution.
>>64745283Paul's video on Miami pretty much says it all.

Word on the street is that the US bagged another 2 shadow fleet tankers today. With one of the tankers being captured using these little guys. Have we begun breaching into the Tom Clancy timeline, or have we always been in the timeline without us knowing?Also, a general thread on these little guys and what can be done to improve on their airframes and tactical usage.

>>64741435I completely agree in principle, but the reason we got into this mess is because the west prefers the rule of law and peace of tranquility. When ideaological opponents start playing the proverbial "I'm not touching you" game, you ignore them. When they start taking that as license to disregard the established norms and start risking that peace, you punch them in their stupid fucking mouths
>>64729244>nooooooooo you have to use exactly the same slang I do or else my safe space collapsesweak
>>64741858On the political influence route, it's kind of funny seeing some of the countries where clearly the Russians never found the same level of footing, or made no effort to maintain it over the years. Like in Australia and the UK it's been completely bipartisan to support Ukraine because of course it is, and I think it's about the only thing that people would give the current UK PM credit for not fucking up on either end of politics.
>>64729245I mean they could benefit from a belly pylon for a minigun or rocket pod. That way, they can still be armed and carry infantry at the same time.

>>64746546Well you are objectively the most cucked nation in the world, the EU even cited the subservience of the British as a factor preventing them from doing the same, honestly I believe there is absolutely no people alive today as submissive as you, when I hear the news coming from England, I feel like I'm watching a caricature of Turner's Diaries, the fact that France surrendered 80 years ago is anecdotal compared to the humiliation you are currently suffering
Could plastic garbage from the ocean be used for 3D printers for printing guns like FGC-9?
>>64728214>They are pagpag eaters in the eyes of westernersWesterner here. I don't know what that is. You're all SEAmonkeys as far as I'm concerned.
>>64624726That’s PETG and a mix of HDPE won’t be all that great The plastic used in 3d printers is a byproduct of food waste anyway like the yogurt run off and high fructose corn syrup
>>64624726You can use bacterial readily available to break the plastic down and turn it into nuclear missles.
>>64624726I thought bacteria has already evolved and is slowly eating away at the plastic trash island in the ocean
>>64740970>>64743919Bacteria that break down plastic are pretty rare. No reason they cant evolve, its still a form of hydrocarbon so there is useable energy in it. But they would be extremophiles. Thing is, if they ever evolve and propagate at scale, plastic starts to lose its primary use of being a hard material that doesnt decay (other than from UV). If plastic just decays because badteria eat it, then at that point wood and metal would be more useful.
why didn't the vector catch on?
>>64747223The world just wasn't ready for a leap towards greatness.
Why don't they make it for 5.7?
>>64747223Vastly better, cheaper, more durable and reliable alternatives like short barrel AR-15s. They are in use with shithole militaries, thailand, philippines, bangladesh, limited use in ukraine and US law enforcement>It's tits with an FRTThe only reason I ever bought one, the autistic smiles it forces on peoples faces that shoot it are priceless. 3,000 rounds of .45 through it in a few months, no issues other than a few break-in stoppages and a dud federal round.
why didn't the Ultimax catch on?
>>64747223its got an FRT now. >>64747321our flgs is amazed that his warehouse stock of them have all sold since thanksgiving. >>64747359>3,000 rounds of .45 through it in a few monthsdog will hunt
Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?
>>64677114>>Blyat! I will dig that out and hammer on it by the fire later. Maybe valuable inside.
On aggregate level it's not worth it as it causes extra wear and tear on the engine and transmission system of the vehicle. However individual crews don't care about that, so in their view even little help is worth it.
>>64682830The cope cages are supposed to help keep the roof protected from the small shit dropped by quad copter drones, not a javelin attack.
>>64743826The original cope cage was expressly an anti-Javelin measure, that's why they're called cope cages. They do have some utility as slat armor though, which as you pointed out works against the flotsam dumped on tank roofs from drones. The Israelis deployed Merkavas with cages for that purpose when the current Gaza imbroglio kicked off.
>>64704473>early soviet rpgs defeated by airsoft targetsi can't, i just can't
>>64747230That makes more sense if you've already got the 5.7. I could go either way in that case. It sounds like you might want the steyr more though.
>>64747230Yeah but you got rid of a practical gun and are now considering a peashooter 5.7 or not much scaled up 5.56
>>64747333NTA but saiga shotguns arent exactly practical.
>>64747283Thinking about it, yeah. If I got the PS90 I'd have to SBR it. Not really too bad now that the $200 fee is gone but id still need to buy a new barrel and get a gunsmith to install is, assuming it isn't too hard to do myself. >>64747333desu I think bullpups are meme guns anyways. I already have 7 ARs, a shotgun, and like 20 handguns. This is just for fun now>>64747340It was an AKM. A Saiga 12 would be cool. Vepr better
>>64747365Damn my reading comprehension sucks. I don't know why I thought I read it was a shotgun.

>>64746445>That long extractor design is just cheaper and easier to manufacture.I see that all the time but don't understand. On the Sig the short extractor is just a block of metal, spring, and rod, and it all pops into the gun and magically stays put somehow.The long extractor has two springs, a pin that needs hammered through the frame, and a hole in it for the pin. Nothing about it seems simpler.
>>64747310We’re working on it Since we lack the industrial or chemical engineers we’ll instead make gun cotton the old way and dissolve it with alcohol, dope it with nitroglycerin and roll it into cordite Expert says we can scale up this year and it’s totally safeOur first ammo batch will be so safe I test it out myself
>>64746445Is the new gen good at anything? it's just a downgrade in both the recoil spring and now the extractor.
>>64747282I don't know. If I get a USP I'm probably just turning it into a Match clone

>>64747212Jeez real boomer hours today>>6474722711. My barrel extension is cracked and is trash and is expendable. However I’m trying to save the barrel to throw onto the new extension I have already sitting next to the barrel vice on the bench. Shits not budging. I’ve applied some heat so far but it hasn’t cracked it yet. I’ve applied enough force already to bend the rails the extension though I do have a cheap eBay trash action wrench.
>>64747057Who the hell is buying these anyways? It’s not like M48s are particularly rare or expensive.
>>64747212been while since ive seen this post. Been asleep the past few threads?
>>64745488to a certain degree I agree with you anon, nuggets are fun to shoot but most importantly having cheap ammo would be great. I remember in Trump 1 not stacking ammo, in particular 9mm because I thought for some reason it would always be dirt cheap. I was dead wrong. Ill never make that mistake again, but thats what youth is for eh? >>64745694thats a very interesting point anon. Now that you mention it my Polish M44 does have a pretty solid trigger. I need to get my hands on a finnish nugget in person to compare the difference. I will say I do like how immaculate my polack nugget is, everything is machined and finished nicely, shame ive got a rough russian bolt in it tho
>>64707840I imagine getting an sks is gonna be more expensive. Got mine from classic firearms when they got Chinese ones in
The fact that a president of a state could be kidnapped by SOF, doesn't it mean that nuclear war could be "won" against a nuclear power? Just send SOF, kidnap their president alongside his "nuclear football". Point a gun in the head of his wife and kids so he gives up the nuclear codes. Then proceed to nuke each airbase of that country and naval bases with nuclear bombers and SSBNs and the major cities of that country. This leaves only the patrolling SSBNs for launching a counter strike. But still, this "simple" specops mission would have transformed a massive, unmanageable nuclear exchange into a limited engagement that modern Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) might actually be able to manage and thus win the nuclear war.t.

>>64742659>General Ripper is not depicted as a "lowly officer"he's a General, that's pretty high up.
>>64742659Ripper's base was in the US, Mandrake was an exchange officer.
>>64742786>commander of burpleson air force baseHuh. So it is. I always thought it was a UK based air wing.
>>64719453Yeah
>>64719453I kinda doubt there's a SIOP for nuking our own bases. So, having the football, the President, and a general with nuclear authority (somebody has to authenticate that it's actually the NCA reading the codes by reading their own codes) probably isn't enough.

A curious uparmored Sherman
>>64747322looks just like the add-on armour they tried for the Comet tank. it was removed when they discovered it did not contribute significantly, if at all, to protection against anti-tank AP shells.so keep in mind that modern tank spaced armour, therefore, is not just a matter of spacing out the armour. it is how that armour is mounted and spaced, that matters.
>>64747347Interesting
Are there any videos/articles that predicted, either horribly or eerily well, how Russia's war in Ukraine would go? Especially concerning the military campaign.This popped up in my feed for some reason and think it made some good predictions but completely missed the drone warfare aspect and overestimated how well the Russians would do, but atleast captured the fact that it wouldn't be over in days/weeks like some did during the time. https://youtu.be/Z9c_HhpvBpg?si=23WNr_6ZRtzhcFqM

Anyone have experience with Polish Night vision optic? It seems, finding a 1NP34/1PN58 is rare and expensive, polish one have somewhat okay prices.
>>64746895I had a 1PN58 before they got real expensive. It worked well enough for gen 1 nv but the reticle led was burnt out and getting a replacement is basically impossible.
>>64746267The brace is decent, feels solid, bit of a pain to attach imo and very difficult to fold but comes with a QD mount which is nice. I actually have the other 1913 standard triangle brace on my M85 and prefer that(although it is harder to mount a sling to it)If you like the aesthetic of the brace go for it
Is it hype wanderwuffe? How come they don’t keep it hidden if it suppose to replace the f-22?
>>64743522it'll finish prototyping just in time for a democrat controlled house to cut defense spending and reduce the orders to double digits
>>64743522Do we have the specs? Any eye witness that is credible that saw this thing fly? What about the budget? How much will these things cost? Why are we not getting anything besides some shitty AI renders?
It's not really going to have canards, is it?

>>64746329Shit my bad, thought that said 22 minute 2 mile. Go for it. Test your 5mi time and aim for 37:30 or below like I said, and look to be able to max or nearly max (>95pts) all AFT events (especially deadlift, it's kinda the "thing" to be good at for Rangers). At RASP you will be smoked when doing most of the gated events, so you want to comfortably exceed the standards before attending to ensure you can pass it all. Ex. be able to do a 12 miler in ~2:30 with 50-60lbs and you should comfortably pass even after getting smoked at Cole Range beforehand. That said, keep in mind that you will have all of OSUT plus however long you spend in pre RASP before you actually do any of this. Your cardio will likely improve in OSUT because you'll be forced to run a lot more.
