New weapon dropped. M111 grenade. This is the first picture of the real thing
>>64693903because it's the the closest analog that everyone in the army should be able to make a comparison too. M67s also produce pressure as a side effect of their explosion but their primary purpose is obviously fragmentation. The M111 is basically the opposite of that, any frag is something generated by the sudden difference in positive pressure causing loose material to fly. Different horses for different courses as they say. I think the amount of pressure change is also enough to knock out or cause someone to black out if employed as intended and at greater ranges enough to cause someone to be nauseous. It's probably a bit more barrier blind in that regard than frag is in a room with "stuff" or makeshift cover.
>>64693903What >>64693962 said. Think of it like a flashbang souped up to the point of being lethal, with substantially reduced risk that a piece of the casing is going to zip back 35m and bean you in the face compared to a frag.
>>64693715>incest grenade
>>64693903Nothing appreciable like a frag coil, bbs, or metal casing, just plastic without the mass to do real damage and some light aluminum fuse parts.
>>64692528No real benefit, just has to look different enough to justify the 42 billion dollar budget that will be embezzled.
Finland still uses costal artillery, thoughts?
>>64688970Back in the day Russkies were scratching their heads as to why the stupid Finns buy only the turrents by the trainload and not the whole tank.
>>64687482Finland has a coastline where such a thing is at least somewhat practical. Land based missiles are fine, too, but the guns are more niche.
>>64687482I mean, their Norwegian neighbors successfully took down one of Nazi Germany's largest and newest cruisers with three antiquated cannons (one of which couldn't fire because there were only enough crewmen on hand to operate two) and some torpedoes.
>>64694051>three antiquated cannonsthey were old for sure but they were also massive 11 inch naval rifles that could have put holes in any battleship at the ranges in question.
>>64687591>infinite free snowLiteral hell. The Suomalaiset can keep it.
Can any artillery anons chime in on its own the target area? What CEP would that be?: https://x.com/i/status/2005853404891939286
Bigger than the CEP of an LRASM coming up the ass of a landing ship

>>64693041>save for MuslimsThey've sold weapons to Morocco and Azerbaijan, off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure they have some deals lined up with UAE and some of the stans, too.>What's America gonna do, tell Israel to not sell and not make shekels?Yes. America has done this many times in the past.
>>64693041>What's America gonna do, tell Israel to not sell and not make shekels?All "Israeli" weapons are made in America my dude. This is just more holocuast reparations really.

>>64673769What's everyone's bet on the next big gimmick finish for woman guns?First it was pink, then there was that big Tiffany blue kick now we've got cow.There's already floral and leopard print and so on guns being marketed to women right now but those are all third party rather than factory as of current save for maybe some weirdos that prioritize having a shitload of finishes on a small catalog of guns like the late SCCY (RIP, you're being straw purchased in heaven's pawnshops now) I'm betting on something floral.
Fellas, I love cow girls (kemomimi), cow girls (furry), cowgirls (yeehaw), and girls in cow print bikinis, and every combination therein. I very much wish to touch the cow. I need to get my wife a cow print bikini. Sadly, she only had b cups :,(

Discuss cheap solutions to the drone problem.Not welcome:>dronefags>laser fags>missile fags>unknown technology fags
>>64681737There is a tech (I can't recall if it's a sensor/laser or a drone that can "catch" it) that can grab the fiber optic and trace the firer's location which can immediately be fired upon by artillery.
You have to go all in on mobile warfare. Commit totally to mechanization, nobody ever goes out on foot anywhere, if people leave armor, its only momentary. But this only works if logistics can support it, and to do that, every logistics vehicle has to have a hybrid drive. To make the point, airborne would be turned from light infantry to logistics, they get dropped with forklifts and fuel tanks and support the men on the ground.

Which type of round is best for punching through armor?
>>64692030Why do the four rounds on the right have the piece of copper passing through the middle? Structural, presumably, but under what conditions would that be relevant?Also can someone explain the 8th round? It makes me think of a tandem warhead, but I can't imagine something like that would work with bullets
>>64693105> piece of copper passing through the middle?Those are tracers, half the bullet is wasted with the pyrotechnic mixture contained in a metallic insert.>8thThe meme 2 bullets per round, the US tested version with 2 and 3. AFAIK nobody uses it irl.
>>64693120Chinese have some wonky duplex 5.8mm and triplex 7.62x39mm was mall ninja ammo back in the 00s.
>>64692030>hard>massive>pointy>fast>small cross sectionThat's all there is to it. The type of plate isn't all that important if you get these right.>hard>pointy>small cross sectionAre all very easy. The trick is balancing mass vs. velocity. Very fast without enough mass won't work, unless it's a railgun or something stupid. Lost of mass without enough speed won't work either, unless it's a shot from a howitzer. For all of the real world shit between those extremes, balance is important.
>>64692030>Which type of round is best for punching through armor?Soft lead slug to the dick.

Looks like anon was wrong. For the best.

Post gear, discuss gear.Maximalist edition. Let's go all out, just this once.Old: >>64671717
>>64693721I agree. AI op pics make the thread go fast as fuck though.
>>64693717I wouldn't be surprised if they did get a good deal on some agencies dumping them but buying them from Hesco for pennies is also very likely.
>>64693823The timing, IMO, doesn't add up for agencies dumping them recently. This was half a decade ago and the NIJ failures were extremely publicized. I think PDs would replace them immediately, given the NIJ letters, and we know Botach has at least one of the recalled 4600s. To this day you can't even bring up Hesco without having to address their past four FIT failures, a record. When Hesco recalled the plates, they offered upgrades. 3610s were bumped to 3810s, for example. Who would refuse that deal? IIRC 4400 guys got 4401s or 4400MCs, 4600s got 4601s and 3410s got 3411s. Additionally, it's an insurance requirement for a lot of outfits to have presently certified armor, so there would be an additional incentive to boogie on replacing plates. Not to drag Hesco through the mud. Their current lineup is rock solid with the exception of the 4800. It's too light on drop protection, but most IVs in that weight class have that same problem. It was originally meant for a go-fast FBI req and was originally black-side, so that's IMO excusable. 4403 is the best budget IV unless you want to gamble on Gilliam or policesurp Protech 2230s. 4601 is a solid generalist. Hesco's SRTs are best in the biz. 3811 is the lightest white-side III+ / RF2.

>>64684873Assuming you don't have a 10mm or .45, split the difference and buy a G40>>64689578If I'm not mistaken, prior to Gen5 Glock offered FS (front serrations, obviously) variants of a lot of their pistols, until they were made standard on Gen5 specifically - similar situation to the G47 being the Gen5 predecessor to the G17 Gen6, using the shorter-length frame with the slide's underside extending further back to bridge the gap

What's the best cap and ball revolver? Are they suitable for home defence?

>>64691929>What's the best cap and ball revolver?Ruger old army.>Are they suitable for home defence?if your other option is begging the assailant to use lube, sure. If you can get a proper gun that's better. Unlike cartridges it just isn't a good idea to leave one loaded and capped and ready to go. Don't get me wrong, you can, I guess, but you're operating a far lower level of safety and effectiveness than modern firearms.
>>64691929There are conversation cylinders for some cap and ball revolvers that allow you to use 45 long colt as well.
