>>64751642>Full armor was never used in warYou are so wrong.>>64751657>Full body armor was used... by horsemen.>Infantry never, or almost never, wore full harnessIt depends on the weight. 14th, early 15th century full suits of armor had an average weight of around 15kg and they only had to face mostly lonbows, crossbows and melee weapons. There are quite alot of historical depictions of fully armored men fighting on foot. Late 15th to 16th century suits of armor had to face bullshit muskets and had to grow in thickness and weight to resist it so the average weight suit became something like 25 kg with some extreme examples having a weight of around 40 kg or more. Horsemen can always just ride around but infantry have to walk everywhere so wearing 25 kg of armor is gona suck ass compared to previous era of only 15 kg suits. But then again there are 14th-15th century depictions of men fighting on foot not having leg protection and open top helmets.>pic related, one guy is not even wearing a helmet.

>>64751052errrm, shaddupThe number is a conservative estimate. The Spirit of Fire has Frigate-sized MACs, and it was able to output similar energy with damaged systems.That said, Light UNSC MACs as the ones in Frigates can also fire 600ton slugs.That said, the UNSC 4%c number comes from the Eszod ODPs, which are only found on Reach that we know of, though it ain't crazy to think that the ones on Earth are on the same league, same as the Punic-class Supercarriers.Not to mention secondary guns. Which in lore are able to pick off Covvie ships from a distance, which already puts them absurdly over the power of Alliance guns.And that the missiles all are at the very least 1/3 of the power of your main gun; and are able to go absurd speeds, and longer ranges than Mass Effect Javelins.UNSC ships ain't shielded, but they take on hits that could kill any Reaper ship (and might be able to survive)Mass Effect has cool aesthetic and actually fuckable aliens (save for Sangheili women), but they'd get shit on by any UNSC fleet simply because of missile spam

Got to shoot my tavor 7 a fair bit on sunday. Hadn't shot it much since I got it, and made the mistake of shooting it with the stock buttpad (flat plastic) and then picking up my buddies ultralight AR right after.it wasn't as bad as I remember, and I added the manticore squishy buttpad to it. Then I blew a 6in tree down in one shot which reaffirmed my decision to carry this as my jungle apocalypse BR.I really want to get that sig romeo 8t AMR combo with the magnifier next. Or a LPVO.
>>64750902I've kinda moved away again from BRs into 300+300(+22) but from my limited range time I liked the T7 more than the X95 when I tried both a few years ago. Seemed significantly more accurate and some nice refinements. Nice choice anon.
The T-34 is the best tank of World War II. What about airplanes? According to /k/
>>64739337Random unprompted rant: Despite the persistent perception that all German tanks were over engineered and overpriced, Panzer IVs were on average slightly cheaper than average Shermans and T-34s.But yeah, while they were better in a few aspects, they were a lot more difficult to maintain Shermans, but still FAR more reliable than T-34s which (like Panthers) were trash in practical reality despite looking impressive on the spec sheets. The whole "over engineered and overpriced" is absolutely true if you compare tanks in completely different classes, apples and oranges, etc.Tigers-1 cost 4 or 5 times as much as regular medium tanks, and Tiger-2s were twice the price of Tiger-1s.

>>647510091: The power of making shit up. Nazi German military reporting was notoriously politicized (like modern and Soviet era Russia). Luftwaffe and Heer/SS officers would blatantly lie on their reports hoping that it would make them look better to their superiors. 2: Germany didn't rotate their experienced pilots back to training positions, like the Americans and Brits did. They kept their pilots in the air until they died - which did mean they could score more kills (not nearly as many as your pic claims though) but made their air force retardedly brittle. The Luftwaffe was undoubtedly the premier air force on the world at the start of the war, just in terms of pilot skill due to having veterans from the Spanish Civil War. They were all wiped out, and hadn't been able to pass on their skills to the next generation of pilots due to this one retarded policy. 3: underageb& when?
Tanks are not obsolete they just haven't been updated.Abrams introduced- 45 years agoThe first ironclad to the first dreadnought was about 45 years in comparison.Roughly 45 years between the wright brothers plane and the introduction of combat jet aircraft.>fights in an area of eastern europe over the course of 5 years that was covered sometimes in a day in ww2>tanks are obsolete

>>64751837>>64751840To be honest its entirely possible to rush three AI with toxin tractors depending on the map. Just use contaminate in the right spots and the AI can't place buildings down or if they do they tend to instantly implode resulting in the AI getting confused. Can also do it with tanks as Thrax with the anthrax shells which is more effective but also much harder to micro.

We have just seen the US carry out Operation Absolute Resolve, a flawless raid in Venezuela but there's so much more than what meets the eye.The fact that the Nightstalkers could just infil and exfil on gunships guns blazing is insane in the era of gay drones and MANPADS. They didn't even have to worry about the overall IADS. IR dazzlers or just shooting back was very effective against any fuckers that tried to get a shot off. More than half of the air assets in theater being SIGINT and EW just shows the importance of spectral dominance in addition to SEAD and as SEAD itself. It's obvious Growlers used their brand spanking new mid-band Growler pods to jam fire control radars, F-35s used their Barracuda suites, but what the EC-130H's were doing could be anyone's guess. But the power went out and that says something.

Indonesia is one of the countries that will become a superpower someday and rival the US.Indonesia is now set to have a capable Airforce once these jets land in Indonesia early next year not to mention Indonesia is buying 5th generation stealth fighter jets from Turkiye.Indonesia also has long range ballistic missile strike capabilities thanks to Turkiye.take note that indonesia see australia as frienemy. australia is a friend, but have high potential to become an enemy. if you read history about relationship between the two countries, the two countries already find them self as enemies many times in history. there's even a prophecy by king jayabaya from 7th century that said nusantara (indonesia) will go to war with it's southern nation (australia) to become the regional superpower that rule indian ocean and south east asiaLooking at how the US turns a blind eye to Israelis killing women and children, Indonesians fear they would be treated similarly to Palestinians if there were conflicts, for example, between Indonesia and Australia. Historically, Indonesia has been mistreated by the US and Australia before. Indonesian has more realistic view of relationship with Superpower.In fact, Indonesia is the one who has to worry even though it is non-aligned but is surrounded by American military bases. such as in Singapore, Papua New Guinea, Australia, etc. there is a possibility that other countries will attack it to take its resources, for example, Australia, which has a military backup from the US, could help Papua become completely independent, especially as Indonesia's military equipment is much more outdated than Australia's. especially because Indonesia is flanked by China and Australia, where the issue will definitely be related to the blurred South China Sea and Australia's potential to help Micronesia push for the liberation of Papua... so maintaining and increasing Indonesia military strength is important

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

Then again i will shoot plain jane 9mm and .40 back to back and not notice much of a difference on identical platforms(i imagine properly sprung .40 makes a difference), and im a lanklet
why are 10mm advocates always so emotional

>>64748081Realistically speaking so long as you have nuclear weapons or even something more devastating, the eternal argument ends with sword>shield. Consequentially being a fuckoff huge target would simply end poorly for you as missiles, typical artillery, or even nuclear landmines would mean more agile and attritable, not to mention pre-existant forces would remove you from the equation. Unless you address many or all of these factors its not really feasible enough people give the OK to dedicate the necessary engineering expertise to design this and then filter resources away from the front to arm and protect this thing.
I don't understand why Hitler, Dr. Porsche, and others continued to downplay the importance of the ability to recover, repair, and re-equip stranded AFVs. The only trailers I know of in Germany capable of carrying heavy tanks were a few examples used at test sites.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b52tVlHc84Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason? the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land
>>64751174you know remingshit went under right? it's just mossberg or turk/chinese shit or the used market at that price point I don't even think it's actually mossberg at that price point, it's maverick. the cheapest made in America mossbergs on PSA's store are $415 slug guns. the cheapest nonmav, 12 gauge non shockwave smooth bore mossberg on psa's website is $488. Granted I'd probably trust a mav 88 over turkshit
>>64751207I guess I don't see the point of buying this when you can buy the Mav 88 that comes with two different length barrels for $299https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/shotguns/mossberg-maverick-88-field-security-combo-12-gauge-3in-blued-pump-shotgun-185in28in/p/1506620
>>64751394yeah I agree. the only advantage is I think the PSA is made in the US whereas the mav is made in mexico. but if you care about it being made in the USA you can just buy a regular mossberg. Mavs are probably fine anyway. most of the budget shit on a mav88 is budget shit mossberg was doing on the 500 until they bought maverick arms, at which point they slightly upgraded the 500
>>64751402didn't know any of that thanks
>>64751394They already said the PSA will be convertible between pump and semi auto. That alone gives it a purpose to exist. And if the semi auto version is less than fucking 1100 dollars, it'll be a pretty good deal.
