When the Geran/Shahed drones first appeared, I figured Russia would use them smartly in a classic SEAD/DEAD role: send waves of them to force Ukrainian IADS to light up radars and reveal positions, then follow up with VKS aircraft, with anti-radiation missiles to systematically dismantle those defenses. Russia instead has chosen the most brain-dead and wasteful approach, by treating the Geran/Shaheds s as nothing more than slow, low-cost cruise missiles hurled directly at static infrastructure targets, while leaving the overwhelming majority of Ukraine's air defenses intact and free to keep operating. They're banking entirely on brute-force volume and saturation to get a few through, completely abandoning any effort at SEAD/DEAD. But the thing is that they're not even achieving any kind of saturation effect since, the launches are scattered haphazardly across random cities, regions, and targets all over Ukraine that changes every night (some they they go after energy infrastructure, some other go after some depots, some others they try to hit some cities...), instead of making up their minds and concentrate them single high-value area, frontline sector, or even one major city at a time, and keep hitting them until achieving disruption or collapse. This is also precisely why so few targets are actually hit despite hundreds being launched every night, and so many of them are intercepted.By contrast, even in the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela, the LUCAS drones (the American Shahed clones) were properly integrated into a coordinated SEAD/DEAD package.

>>64751334It's so funny that you can just spot a vatnik a mile away if you've been following the discussion on here for quite some time.Now off you go, back to your outside thinking room as long as it hasnt vanished overnight.I find it funny that Putin's impotent screeching is not being received as humiliating by Russians.

>>64752409>They're not diesel but gas or electric. No heating usually means that there's no electricity too(soviet-style district heating plants also often do co-generation and act as important junctions of the grid) - if one is hit hard, it means everything's fucked in the area.Gas is a no-go in newer apartments(and even late soviet ones) because it's not allowed to install gas line in a building taller than 9 floors because of safety, and all new apartment blocks are above this limit.Gas "individual heating" in apartments is a thing, but mostly in towns where local heating company went bankrupt - otherwise there will be a lot of objections to you disconnecting yourself form theirs pipes. And it can't be done in a day.>Many new apartments have diesel generators and central boilers.Wasn't thought necessary with existing infrastructure. Especially generators - after blackouts of mid-90s, losing power for more than two or three hours per year was unthinkable. Why spend money on something you'll never really need?>Diesel heating per apartment should be doable. Yeah, seems the most reasonable and quick to set up.>At worst, just electric generator with electric heater is less efficient but will work.Imagine the noise and smoke even if 25% of inhabitants of average khrushchevka do that. Will look, smell and sound like hell. Also gasoline shortages probably.

The ziggers have come up with another brilliant plan to counter drones, walking tents! Guessing mostly for night ops to reduce thermal signature?

How are they still in business? shotgun sales are in the shitter and even if they do sell someone a shotgun, how many shotguns do people buy in their life time?>but they sell .22sare you really going to buy a mossberg .22 over a 10/22?>the patriotare you going to buy a mossberg patriot over a ruger or savage at basically the same price point?>handgunsthey sell handguns? have you ever seen someone with a mossberg handgun?Henry's another one. Are there really that many people buying lever actions and single shot break actions? It's even worse than car companies because guns are cheaper than cars and .22s and hunting guns last basically forever
>>64753984>I'm saying no company has tried to replace the 870 even after all these years.Successful gun companies don't have to penetrate that segment of the market. Mossberg has the shotgun market in the US on lockdown, and Benelli and Beretta are ahead in the European market but are slowly losing ground to the Turkshit (not because Turkshit is better, but because they are so cheap that they tempt people who don't know any better).
>>64754003benelli/beretta make turkshit. stoger is the same company as them and is the turkshit branch
>>64752974>He doesn't know how to read a graphThis is called a compound line graph, anon. You can recognise it by the shaded area between each line. It's different from a regular line graph. There's no overlap. So for example, in 1993(?) on the graph in question, when the total amount of firearms manufactured was about 5,000,000, pistols and revolvers together made up about half of that (2,500,000), while shotguns and rifles were each about a quarter (1,250,000). With this, consider how skinny the green line is for shotguns compared to the rest of the graph in recent years.
>>64753974>They cheapened the 870 design until their most loyal fans abandoned themYeah. You're left out a few facts while you were masturbating, sport. Wingmaster and Police Mag models weren't changed at all. They cheapened up the Express entry grade crap and a few other garbage grade models. Secondly, despite your furious masturbation, 870 and Mossberg 590s have been reported by both Guns & Ammo and Gun Broker to have essentially the same sales numbers for the past 5 years straight, with the Bergs holding a SLIGHT edge in the pump market. Secondly, the supposed "issue" with the 700 you fallaciously brought up was ten thousand percent bullshit. The claims brought on that weapon for that supposed "defect" dated back to 1948 manufactured rifles and ALL models with the Walker trigger design. I've had a 700BDL since 1983 and that claim is fucking laughable.Asshole anti-gun law firms kept thought they had a winner with a bullshit "cover-up" about the original trigger mech engineer's thoughts on the final design and kept lobbing lawsuit grenades at the company until they finally found a jury stupid enough to hate firearms. After that pissant lawsuit payout, Remington's lawyers forced the company to make a show out of "doing something" in order to avoid any future class-actions.Their centerfire auto pistols have always been garbage. The new ownership had absolutely nothing to do with that.I own several Remingtons, in addition to the bolt gun I mentioned above. Including a 3.5in 870 super mag loaded with slugs and buckshot leaning behind my bedroom door right now, and I have had ZERO malfunctions out of any of them in 40 years.Comment too long.

>>64752355>good, reliableMossberg shotgun is the only gun I ever had break. The internal parts are made of cheap metal and bend out of spec. Everything has to be in particular spec for it to function, the 500 is like clockwork inside. Not a reliable gun at all. It has an oddly surprising number of moving parts that all need to be aligned perfectly to function, and the metal bars bending from normal racking fucks the action up and shit starts to grind or it doesn't function. Cheap piece of shit, i don't buy their products anymore.
So just in case you've ever wondered how dragonfire holds up in the concrete jungle. Some dude unloaded 6-8 shells at close range into a police vehicle. Cop is ok. Shooter, not so much. https://x.com/policelawnews/status/2011050270739087492
>>64753501That I did. Still it is interesting that it still made almost perfectly spherical entry into the side of the car. The two gashes make a bit more sense if the heat was enough to melt the paneling but those holes don't seem to be created by heat. Just velocity and mass.
>>64753512>those holes don't seem to be created by heatyes because they don't burn through steel anon, there's not enough thermal mass there, and steel is a good conductor, it's quite inefficient to try to melt your way through. it's literally just velocity and mass>>64753507anon what do you think? tbf it would be very unpleasant to be shot by this, imagine having a burning shard of magnesium in your gut, definitely quite lethal from an anti-personnel perspective, but it's not that practical.
>>64753524Still I'd expect to see no hole or a hell of a lot more. Upon review I think he might have sprung for the buckshot version. Looks like about 6 shells were fired. One must have been the 00 buckshot version. They have about 6 balls and still produce a flame. Maybe he was hoping the buck would penetrate and the rest were fire for effect or possible to ignite the vehicle.
>>64753524>anon what do you think? tbf it would be very unpleasant to be shot by this, imagine having a burning shard of magnesium in your gut, definitely quite lethal from an anti-personnel perspective, but it's not that practical.They're either retarded or glazing a specialty ammo company, and you're figuring they're retarded?

>>64753379OP clearly said the largest, not the smallest, anon.
>>64753044Yeah the story behind it is interesting. An American was working in Slovakia and found a hobo sleeping inside the statue at a junkyard. He liked it because the artist actually made it slightly out of spec by including guns and bayonets on it (see bottom right). Lenin was supposed to be presented in art as an intellectual, not a warmonger. He bought it and had it shipped home so he could use it as a curio in front of a restaurant he was going to open. Sadly he died soon after this and Lenin never got to promote a diner. The family tried to sell it to a foundry but they declined and so it went up in the hopes that somebody would buy it. It's still for sale, so if anyone really hates Lenin, just buy it and turn it into Funko pops or something. It's not even that expensive, like $250k.

How come glocks frequently jam if you limp wrist them but other handguns don't? https://youtube.com/shorts/FYG4aNr-b8o
>>64715717Use 147gr ammo, it has less of a chance to fail if you use heavier ammo.
>>64715717you can absolutely limp wrist jam some other striker guns, i've done it on the range
JaredAF did a video on this as well. Basically, light frame has low inertia/ momentum, so not enough energy from the recoil to move the slide itself. Berettas also have this issue when limp-wristed, though they fail to feed when the Glock would fail to extract.Or you could get a revolver and bend your elbow to absorb the recoil. Just don't get one with engravings off the bat.
>>64717636X2Never been in real combat but I've done some fire and maneuver ranges that were real motherfuckers. You'd be shocked just how retarded you get when you're completely fucking gassed and still have to get the lead out.>>64717886I own a 17c. Never had a limpwrist failure. And I've definitely tried. Two finger firing the gun with the weakest ammo I can get my hands on and it just goes. I don't know if it's because of the porting or the slide being slightly lighter due to the cutouts but there you go.
>>64754205>bend your elbow to absorb the recoilI still don't really understand what this means. Granted, I don't have much experience with revolvers but I don't see how moving your elbow would absorb recoil.

>>64751643Yeah, geography.Also the first head of that headquarters is Japanese.
>>64751643Anon, the headquarters needed to be somewhere, with the UK having a bigger role than Italy, it makes sense for the UK to get the headquarters, they're physically close to Italy, and the headquarters was never going to be in Japan because then 2 of the 3 nations would be nowhere near it.Also, even though it's located in the UK the actual headquarters itself is officially not on UK soil. The headquarters is kinda like an embassy or the UN, the UK officially has no legal authority on the land and they'd need to ask permission from the Japanese Chief Executive, Masami Oka if they wanted to enter the premises. The high level GIGO employees are essentially given diplomatic immunity, and despite living and working in the UK will pay no UK taxes.

Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.
>>64753961No, it's getting replaced because procurement is too retarded to realise that an inconel gas tube kit would do everything a completely new piston gun does but better and cheaper (and lighter).I also suspect the USMC was under pressure to do SOMETHING with the M27 IAR project and frankly giving one to every rifleman is just the least bad outcome of that. Would've been better if they just made an M16A5 though.
>>64753961I can't account for yuros being retarded or Marines still living in 2002 and autistically trying to justify a piston gun. M4 still moggs though even if you don't want it to be true

Keep an old pocket knife in your pocket when you're swimming at a pool or at the beach, because retarded trash people (dog owners) will bring their nasty beasts along to those places. Make sure your knife is a fighting knife that can tear up a person or dog easily, at least 3" blade. Do not let it bite you or a kid, dispatch it asap when it acts up. Don't let them bite at your legs either, if a dog is barking at you, you're in a fight. Fight back and kick the shit out of it. If you need to go lethal go lethal. Be prepared to deal with its retard owner and treat it like a 2v1 fight. These things are a fucking menace and there's no solution because white people are retarded and won't regulate poor cute little puppers. The only way to win is to be prepared to kill.
