>>64689535I've taken to reading aircraft action reports from the Pacific theater, and some of the missions flown by the Navy B-24s are frankly incredible. Regular instances of commerce raiding by bombing at 50-100', sinking smaller vessels by performing strafing runs where every gunner opens up, raiding Jap trains, Army bases and fortifications, and thats before you get to the air-to-air component where they describe chasing down Japanese aircraft in a heavy bomber.
>>64689978Forgive the poor quality, took this at work, but I dont think I'd ever have imagined that a heavy bomber ever chased a Jap dive bomber into a box canyon then patiently waited outside for the dive bomber to try and escape so he could murder him. Yet here we are.

Boring topic but I'm finally happy with what I've cobbled together from different components I've acquired over the years. Covers 5.56, 7.62, and 40mm bores. I'm a milfag who works for a living so no 9mm handgun for me. Does double duty for both my personal rifle and my issued weapons. >1. Repurposed Otis 5.56/9mm Defender cleaning kit pouchNot the only thing that'll work, but I like that it clamshells open. Got it as a gift. I pulled most of the extra shit out of it because having pull through cables and bore snakes in addition to a full on sectional cleaning rod is just redundant. Use one or the other. >2. Two ragsJust a cut up t shirt. One for wiping shit off with, one for laying small parts on. PSA: You can, in fact, wash these every once in a while. >3. Otis stiff bristle brush Have gone back and forth on carrying a brass one too but I've either never needed it or the shit was baked on so hard (M240 gas plug) I had to use a scraper. >4. Plastic pickFor all the things a long, slim, pointy object is good for when trying to clean tight spaces. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64688166Cont. >7 and 8. Patches. 4x4 inch and 2x2 inchI'll probably do a big followup post explaining my thought process in detail but 2x2 is for 5.56 bores, 4x4 (using the #18 brush as a jag) for 40mm bores, and a 4x2 folded in half (double thickness) does 7.62 bores. Got the idea from British practice. For 5.56 and 7.62 I poke offset holes in them using the pick (#4) and mount them to the patch loop like how Otis branded patches (with the three slits cut in them) are meant to be used. Those are cotton. Have done the same with cut up shop towels stolen from the mechanics with great success. YMMV with material thickness. >9. 30ml CLP in dropper bottle x2 The ones that come in issued cleaning kits as empty bottles all have the glue bottle type twist caps and they fucking suck. CLP is so thin it'll leak out even when closed if it gets squashed and every time you close the tops on them a little bit dribbles down the side and gets all over everything. Can't find these particular ones one amazon anymore. Dropper tip with a real screw-on cap rather than a friction fit POS = goated. Functional alternative: [AMAZOG URL]/OBROU-Dropping-Bottles/dp/B07BTV4581
>>64688177>10. Otis sectional GI cleaning rodI love GI rods. Very useful. Very multipurpose. Some people are terrified they'll wear out their bores using them but that's fucking fuddlore. Never seen any muzzle or throat damage documented as the result of a phosphated mild steel cleaning rod rubbing on even an unlined stainless steel PRS autism barrel. Full rod for clearing obstructions, a partial one for pull patches through the bore (pull rather than push or else it'll flex and shit'll get stuck), and a t-handle for scrubbing the chamber with. Old ones (and the chinkium ones you get off amazog/ebay etc) are threaded for 8-36 rather than 8-32 (all modern cleaning rods and accessories use this) like these. You can identify which is which by whether the male threads have an unthreaded space space next to the shoulder or not. 8-36 ""GI"" rod kits from china will usually come with a short cleaning rod section that serves as a thread adapter. A lot of cheap 5.56 chamber brushes will be 8-36 too.>11. 5.56 Chamber BrushThe plastic bottle these usually ship in are still the best way to store them without fucking up the bristles (or stabbing yourself/tearing up the fabric inside the pouch every time you grab it). I can fit every other brush and rod attachment in this kit inside it too.>12. 5.56 Bore Brush>13. 5.56 Bore SqueegePurely there to reduce the number of patches I need. Works good. Does not replace patches in their entirety like the marketing insists. Merely reduces it down to only 1-2 rather than a dozen. Only recommended if you're a CLP user. Dedicated solvents may not be lubricious enough. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64688195>17. 7.62 SqueegeeSee #13>18. 40mm BrushTactically acquired out of an Otis 40mm kit. Slides freely over the cleaning rod. Doubles as a patch jag. >19. 8-32 ScrewFor holding #18 on to the rod so I can pull it through.

ok
So the patches:I was sitting there scratching my head trying to figure out how to limit the variety of consumables I'm carrying around and make it all as multi-use as possible. The patches Otis includes for their 40mm grenade launcher kits are these really thick 4" circles that I've only ever seen in brand new ones. Never seen replacements get ordered. Then they have 3" patches for 7.62 and 9mm and 2" patches for 5.56. Didn't like the variety. Then I remembered some milsurp autism - pic related. Rather than a bag of precut scraps of cloth the British have issued out their patching material in the form of a 4 inch wide roll of cotton flannel marked every two inches ever since the Lee Metford. They just tear/cut off what they need.I tried something similar. After some experimenting I came to the conclusion that I could start off with a stack of 4x4 squares for field use and just cut them down to size to make it work for the smaller calibers. Then at home or in garrison it comes straight off the roll.I also mentioned I like the way Otis branded patches are intended to be used and I mean it. You won't get six uses out of them like they advertise - maybe three or four tops - but it works. Don't waste your money buying theirs though. Just use what you already have and poke holes in them with something sharp. Once you get a feel for how to do it you get a very tight, very even fit. It'll vary depending on the thickness of the material you're using, but it works. It's only a gimmick if you buy their overpriced scraps of cotton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FztGHCWNvZ8

>>64688424goddamn I love somaliland and somalianon
Israel is able to get a geopolitical win. Simply saying, “Yeah we recognize this little breakaway state”. Somaliland gets another state to recognize it and further gets more closer to worldwide recognition. Somalia, Turkey, and other regional states, specially the Arab league get more ammo to hate Israel and a slight blow to their prestige given that Israel is once again trying to maneuver its way into Africa. Recognition and the instant devotion this validation deficient country means that they will offer offer unwavering support for isreal and will do whatever they can to utilize what Tel Aviv may offer in terms of military and economic assistance while also giving trade and resource lenience as well as a any sort geopolitical foothold, thus making things in Somalia more strained since Egypt and Turkey as well UAE are active in Somalia. There is also a large international presence in neighboring Djibouti but they don’t care too much about Somaliland and passively enjoy the stability it has compared to the rest of Somalia. Hopefully this doesn’t escalate into Pubtland, Mogadishu, and their puppet masters into provoke a greater conflict where they will use actual somali troops and resources rather than Puntland militias. Somaliland would unfortunately not survive for long if Turkey, Egypt, and UAE take stringent actions to support Somalia in nipping the somaliland bud. I guess another issue would be Al Shabaab or other Islamist groups declaring johads against Somaliland for their Israeli support, seeing it as a traitor to their Muslim and “arabic” sensibilities. I hope other countries, specifically Western nations follow suit in recognition and support Somaliland so it doesn’t get invaded or bullied. Africa has enough blood spilling right now, it needs a shining light outside wannabe despots with Chinese and Russian backing.

Why don't modern rifles have a cleaning rod along the barrel anymore with a cleaning kit in the stock/grip?Seems like a pretty inelegant solution to give the soldier these separate maintenance packages when it all could be mounted on the gun, easily and quickly accessed when needed, and never misplaced/lost.
>>64685881>>64685875Do you not have arms?
>>64686900do you live in 1934?>>64686893do you not have arms?
>>64688965You're sure wrong. It's a long stroke gas piston with a trilug bolt, so more like the Robinson XCR (AKs have two true lugs, like the M1 Garand). Reportedly, its felt recoil is "similar" to that of the M4 carbine due to the gas system, but take that with a grain of salt.
>>64685597New shill-gat because it uses some super special 6mm cartridge that is probably one of the million that are somewhere between 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmore but acts like its God's Gift to the world. >The RFP linked above specifies that the .264 USA be capable of producing 2,875 ft/s with a 107gr lead-cored Sierra HPBT from a 16.7″ barrel, or 2,657 ft/s with a 123gr Sierra from the same lengthOh look, I was right.
>>64685571US rifles haven't had attached cleaning rods since the Springfield trapdoor.
Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
>>64688652Yes, they pretty much all write open ended disclaimers like that and put big bolt "READ THE MANUAL" labels all over their guns. This is specifically so that if there is a malfunction, somebody gets hurt/killed and there's a lawsuit their legal team can go.>Well it says here, there and in the other place in the manual that it can blow up and kill you if you use it wrong.>Using it wrong can mean 9001 different possible things, one of which you surely were doing.>And surely you read the manual.>Says right on the gun to read the manual before shooting it.>Oh yeah you DIDN'T read the manual? I guess the gun going off and severing your spine is YOUR fault then, not ours you absolute idiot.It doesn't always actually work as a defense tactic, but it definitely makes things harder and wastes a lot of time/drives up legal costs for the plaintiff.
In a world with 3d printing I'm kind of a luddite. I want to do a weldless mating of a stribog lower to an m11/9 upper using box tubing. I know I could do it, but I don't want to end up with a monstrosity. Are there any schematics available that would give me an idea of what would be involved with mating them?
How dented is too dented for a cartridge to be unsafe to shoot? I bought a bulk order of 600 rounds of 7.62 Nato and a few of the cartridge boxes were already torn open inside the bigger box, with some of the cartridges being dented. I'm just wondering at what size of a dent does a cartridge become something that will blow up your gun.

>>64688079Neither Ukraine nor Russia can actually issue good body armor. The fear here is that China (who has a fantastic body armor industry) could do so. In which case light and nimble would be less effective. Of course, the other side is that ballistic plates only cover your chest and a rifle is as good at suppression whether you're wearing one or not. Given that most of your body won't be covered.
>>64689922there's also the fact that the only way the M5 is penning plates is if it uses tungsten core ammo...same as 7.62 NATO, .338 etc. etc..
>In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that "Japan's leadership is attempting to accelerate militarization," with reference to increased defense spending under the Sanae Takaichi administration. Amid escalating Japan-China tensions, he expressed Russia's firm support for China's position on the Taiwan issue, inferred that Russia would provide China with military assistance in bringing Taiwan back under China's control, and made veiled threats about the consequences of Japan interfering.>This appears to refer to Prime Minister Takaichi's parliamentary response regarding a Taiwan contingency potentially constituting a "survival-threatening situation," the Japanese government's proposal of a record-high defense budget for fiscal 2026, and considerations to revise the three non-nuclear principles. Lavrov pointed out that the "acceleration of militarization" under the Takaichi administration "will clearly have a negative impact on regional stability."Source:https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/c5993ae64bfc1aa80ba17f8036e6546ea4030addI am under no delusion that Russia's much-diminished military could provide any meaningful aid to a Chinese marine invasion of Taiwan. Nor am I deluded enough to believe that this is anything more than lip service from Russia to China--probably directly requested by China--in relation to China's crashout over the Japanese PM stating that Japan would defend Taiwan from invasion as a matter of national self-preservation. However, I hope that statements like these from Russia convince Japanese that they have skin in the game, that it is better to kill Russians in Ukraine than in Hokkaido, and that Japan should start sending real military aid to Ukraine.
