IIRC 50 cent was shot nine times but survived because it was pissant caliber like .25 ACP
I've got a Lorcin .25 that my boss gave me for coming in on a Saturday once. On top of my regular time and a half. I don't think I've ever even fired it

>>64760842Its a bunch of basic bitch features Eotech should have been including in the 553 10 years ago, that they didn't for some stupid reason. And now that Sig has come along with the 8T-AMR, they're panicking. With the 4XT pro, hopefully Aimpoint gets off their ass too, bjt seeing as Eotech is pricing a red dot stupid, likely not. Chinknese optics are also pushing Eotech but theres nothing that quite competes the same just yet.Its definitely the best non magnified sight Eotech offers but thats not saying much, and quality red dots are getting scarry close to holographic performance under nods. I'd buy it for like $700 new, before discounts, if I HAD to buy a holographic and I was a part of a cool guy group doing cool guy things and couldn't get issued a 553 or 556.
>>64760842>So what’s the koncensus?I dunno. How long do these ones go before delamination?
Whatever happened to the patch threads?
>>64760804Download Inkscape and start making some vector images. Get the Inkstitch plugin and convert them to embroidery files. Run simulations to see how things work and learn what tweaks you need. Pick up a used embroidery machine and a 64 pack of thread to start playing around.For making one offs and small scale it works okay. Takes me about 15 minutes and ~5 thread changes to make a 3" round.
WGW needs to fucking update their fucking invoicing for orders. You buy patches off them on discount, but they declare on the packing list and invoice the full, unchanged price.As a result, customs charges you based of the full amount.Either put the correct invoice or dont put anything in at all... It's not hard!Literally the only store out of all /k/ patch sellers I've had this problem, and it's happened twice now.
>/o/ no longer has sticker and slaps threads.>/k/ no longer has patch threads>/biz/ no longer has commodities threads.These truly are the dark times.
>>64761060I should correct my post./biz/ does still do precious metals and even still mints their own coins, but the /cmmg/ has long since died. It's a shame too, there were some smart and cool dudes in those threads.

>20 years ago>People constantly felate the F22, claiming its the plane version of jesus.>Constantly disparage the F35 saying its a an expensive boondongle that can't fight and is shit and is worse in every way to the f22 and they should have just made more f22s instead of axing the program>Today>People lament that the f22 is underutilized as it never gets any engagements>Still question the value of F35 despite its multiple successes in infiltrating enemy held airspace and leading ground attack missions in heavily defended adversary airspace.Its time you admit that F35 is the superior aircraft.
>>64756083>>64756588He must be, because the 260 isn't even finished yet. It's not hanging off anything in an operational capacity.And like you said, it's specifically designed to fit the footprint of the 120 for easy compatibility with the F-22 and F-35's internal bays which were sized with the 120 in mind.The AIM-174 is the Navy just going 'we need that capability yesterday' and sticking a naval SAM on a superbug hardpoint to fill the role. They'll probably end up using the 260 as well for the F-35C.>>64757492The F-35 actually being conceptualised from the ground up with future block modifications and refits in mind like we actually use them is going to be such a long term benefit, people don't even realise it just yet. There's already been three major revisions of the primary computer module, so new production planes aren't flying with 2006's greatest combination of 2004's hardware and it can be added to existing planes down the line too.Becoming the right plane of the free world means the economies of scale are going to go crazy too, including for the future upgrades.
>>64757923>the 260 isn't even finished yet. It's not hanging off anything in an operational capacity.It is, it's been procured off-record for at least a year already and officially entering service this year.>the economies of scale are going to go crazyThey already have been for years. Procurement cost is currently $80m apiece for member nations and $100m for non-members. For members, it's cheaper than the Eurofighter, Rafale, Gripen E, Su-57, F/A-18, and F-15EX. The only cheaper alternatives are F-16V, JF-17, and Tejas (lmao).

If you're the dictator of a shithole how do you prevent the hollowing out/paper tigerization of your military over time? All of these had strong capable militaries until one day they didn't and got their cheeks busted and wig split

So anybody born into the empire could live a relatively hassle free life in their own province that was given large amounts of autonomy as long as they payed their due to Rome. Literacy rates were so low learning to read elevated you to a scholar and all important works ever written were assembled in a single library complex of Alexandria in modern days all dictatorships degenerate into open tyrants. Combination of high body counts, ease of communication, ease of killing (unorganized, unarmed civilians), wealth of information and creeping paranoia
>>64750668All of those things are currently going wrong.How long do you think US has left?
>>64757457Not him, but I think we have another twenty years at most before we draft a new constitution or surrender and become an empire in decline.I'm betting on the latter, mostly because most Americans aren't really paying attention and don't really care to.

When I submit a 4473 to a shop in order to buy a handgun, will I be flagged if I've admitted myself (voluntary) to the mental hospital for major depression, in Seattle, WA? I have no criminal record, ostensibly not on the police's radar, I've never even applied for a CPL and gotten my prints recorded. HIPAA keeps me out of the federal background check, no? Not currently on medication, haven't been for a year or so.

With modern lasers, capacitors, and power plants how many 500 lb JDAMs could be shot down if all were targeting the laser?Let's assume 2 kilometers altitude, 1000 km/h speed.Could they even do 1?
>>64761049He has implied (the statement when discussing the price vs the darkreach was something like 'one of these costs twice the other') it will cost in excess of $400m
>>64761050I think it's kind of fucked we're getting three A2G focused aircraft in a row. I think BDF could use an A2A focused futuristic harrier thing that can take off from a carrier, and PALA could use a light fighter that fills the gaping 100 million $ hole between the Compass and Ifrit.
>>64761050>but the Brawler completely mogs everything that fits into a similar roleIf you want cheap the cricket is undisputed, it also has the best optical sensors by a wide margin.If you want cheap and fast the Compass is much faster and can carry a pair of scythes. If the bombs absolutely must get through the Ifrit will perform that task much better with its speed and the Darkreach with its overwhelming mass of payload.What the Brawler does well is moderate speed + magazine depth (kingpin loadout compared to Chicane, Cricket), IR near immunity (probably the most resistant to IR craft in the game), and AGM magazine depth (AGM-48 barely, AGM-68 tied with Darkreach IIRC).There are many many scenarios in which the brawler is not the best air to ground platform, although it's pretty fucking good in all of those scenarios regardless.
Has anyone found a use for mounting the big meme guns on the Brawler? Two internal 35mm already make it a flying Gepard, needing more gun than that is just goofy
>>64761118Only use I've heard is to make hitting easier with linking them so there is effectively an area instead of a point getting hit when you fire. I barely use cannons so I've never bothered. The Brawler's cannons are excellent for taking out factories, though.
Should Japan also get one of those drone mother ships Singapore is getting? I think the izumo could carry lots of kamikaze drones.
How about this? vertical launched shaheads?
>>64757812Drones can carry missiles and bombs and even the suicide drones are at least theoretically recoverable. Missiles are one off things. That's the main difference.
>>6476038871% are rookie numbers. Singapore's is like 89% last I heard.

>>64760904California burritos and carne asada fries are the only really good food things to come out of SoCal in the last 20+ years. Change my mind.
>>64760935Swap the burritos with fish/shrimp tacos
>>64760682Yeah but like, I don't wanna look like a robot either.>>64760978>fish/shrimp tacosYou can't mess up seafood really. You can prepare fish in any way other than sushi and 90% of the population would enjoy it.
>>64760978>>64760990Fish and shrimp tacos existed long before SoCal was even a thing. I'm talking more recent culinary developments.
Recently there has been a trend of Shaheds armed with various anti-aircraft missiles, both MANPADS and R-60s. Is there any real merit to this? I can assume that these are presumably supposed to cooperate with the drones we've seen carrying rear-facing cameras, with the missile Shadhed trailing the spotting one, but this seems like a lot of investment to put into a rather dubious shootdown chance.
>>64760916Didn't the ukies down a heli with a USV armed with a AA missile? It's kind of a similar idea, adds some complication to the task of shooting them down.
>>64760968>Didn't the ukies down a heli with a USV armed with a AA missile?not that I know of. I know they used AA missiles from a drone boat in anger, but iirc results were poor and I haven't seen any hits.
>>64760948Did >>64760775 not just say that it hallucinated an air launched Shasneed? Gen AI is for nitwits.
>>64761024if you're literally a retard (like you) then yesif you're capable of actually comprehending what model returns and question it about that then it's a valuable tool
>>64760968>Didn't the ukies down a heli with a USV armed with a AA missile?At least half a dozen of them, yeah. And potentially one or two planes. There was a ton of whining in Telegram channels since some of the shot down pilots weren't recovered because nobody bothered to send a recovery crew in a timely manner.Ruslims had to create special rules where helicopters should approach the USVs from the back as to not get shot down kek.

>>64759637did they intentionally make it look like an ace combat mission briefing
>>64760128It's fucking incredible how many people don't understand that external munitions stores showing up on radar is still a fuckload smaller than a 4th gen with external stores showing up on radar.The F-35's EW systems don't suddenly turn off either, and they're pretty fucking nasty for something that's not a dedicated EW platform.>>64760616At this point I'd be kind of surprised if the inspiration wasn't flowing both ways. AC has a lot of fans involved in real military aviation and adjacent fields because it's the fantasy of what they all wish they were really doing.

>>64759187>$10,584for a little bit more you could probably get a transferable anm2 30 cal or something, those are still cheaper than many smgs
>>64759214Theres literally nothibg wrong with the M249, you retards either don't load it right which turns it into a bolt action, or you don't fucking clean it which takes 5 minutes and should be done every couple hundred rounds. Especially after popping blanks.The Ares and Lima have nowhere near the same ability to sustain the same volume of fire, let alone a similar lifetime volume of fire. They're civilian "just as good" belt feds.

>>64760814Believe it or not? He's probably looking out for you. But if you want to push it, if meps didn't pick up on it, it's not his place to say. Find another recruiter if you truly want this. You may be beyond the point of being able to mask it though. Drills will notice. Did you say the words "yes I have an autism diagnosis" or any derivative of this? This complicates things greatly if you did.
>>64760814Have you been actually diagnosed by some kind of medical professional? How intensely autistic are you that recruiters are just cold diagnosing you? Be honest.
>>64760675No good answer. Marines do vague contracts that could stick you into a bunch of things. I've been told aviation is surprisingly decent in the marines though. Doubt it's better than say, the 160th though. At least you know what airframe you'll work on in the Army. Do not join the Marines unless it's during a war. Don't do it.
>>64760868>Find another recruiter if you truly want thisI dont think I need another recruiter as I am already enlisted into the DEPHe also isnt standing in my way and he didnt say anything to me directly and he generally seems pretty niceIts just allegedly he said those things to another applicant and the other applicants told me about itI am not upset with him over saying or thinking anything it just makes me self conscious and worried about being "found out" and removed from basicI have not said anything about it to him or anyone and I shrugged it off and laughed and acted like I wasnt bothered when the other applicant told me this>>64760898I was diagnosed when I was in elementary school but my parents fought the school to keep me from being put in therapy and on Ritalin or Adderall or etcI dont really know "how autistic" I am as its hard to judge from my own shoesI can recognize that habits I have and things I like align with people I see online that would be made fun of for being "autistic" or "weird"Comment too long.
