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
>>64745283>I will never understand who decided the FBI are the gun, and ammunition expert.Because they have the money to run their own ballistics lab.

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.
>>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.

AGB ruins the look and heaviest buffer and spring often aren't enough with super hot match ammo while I just click the SCARs gas selector once or twice to get the setting I want. KAC also charges over a grand for a re barrel which I have to do around every 10-15k rounds because the barrel is unlined. The URX 2 and M110 profile barrel make the gun retardly heavy as well. The M110 does shoot super smooth though. Its like a sewing machine when you rapid fire.

Bronze tools and weapons were still a thing to some extent in the Andes though and in Mesoamerica so were bronze tools. If the Mesoamericans had bronze weapons is a bit contentious but I don't really agree with the hesitation around it, I think the evidence strongly suggests they did have them, even if they weren't particularly common.In any case, both the Mesoamericans and Andeans had far more in common with "Bronze age" and "iron age" or Classical or even Medieval civilizations then they did "Stone age" societies, including in warfare.

>>64754580cont>>64754295Got a source on most forces in the Philippines being Mesoamerican rather then just some of them? Or any being Texcoca specifically?

It'd probably still get you weird looks through since Azteca/Aztecah was an archaic term for themselves before they settled down and founded their own city-states and adopted more specific ethnic labels. For the Acolhuas, including the Texcoca, it might be less appropriate since some Acolhua sources claimed they didn't come from Aztlan IIRC, but others still said they didMaybe you meant it'd be insulting if you called them Mexica (the group in Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital), and yeah, maybe, because it'd be incorrect to, but if you're implying it'd be insulting because the Mexica were widely hated, that's mostly a misconception. Mexica rule was loose and hands off, not oppressive, and everybody did sacrifices, not just the Mexica. The reason Cortes got allies against them is because their hands off political system enabled opportunistic side switching, for the most part, though Tlaxcala in particular probably really did resent the Mexica since they were at war at the time and had been for a whileSee pastebin.com/h18M28BR and arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/640670498/#640679139 and desuarchive.org/his/thread/16781148/#16781964 and desuarchive.org/k/thread/64434397/#64469714 + the other posts I link to within that /k/ post and the two posts of mine directly preceding that one>>64739202Comment too long.

>>64699930>What one gun can be used to fend off both a t-rex (or any large carnivore) and those little assholes that eat Peter Stormare’s character after he zaps them?Probably fucking anything, 9mm or 45 would probably work same as on bears. Like, they're ANIMALS dude. IRL predators do not like being hurt, a puncture or bad cut that gets infected can easily be fatal in the real world with no vaccines and no antibiotics and veterinary treatment. It doesn't have to be fatal directly either if it merely interferes with their ability to catch enough prey, they'll just starve to death. I don't understand why people are so insanely unrealistic about animals and act like bears have APC armor or the like when every real report shows everything beyond mouse farts works for defense.Now if you want to HUNT an animal and ethically drop it with one shot and not have to follow a blood trail for miles then yeah, energy and good shooting matters a lot. But if you merely want to make something go away you don't need to kill it at all just convince it you're more of a pita to try to eat then all the other prey it'd normally go for. Like a poison arrow frog or whatever, anything could bit and kill one of those little guys but they get avoided for obvious reasons. If you mag dump at a T-Rex it's not going to deflect and keep at you it's going to run the fuck away and go hunt any of the endless other creatures that aren't fucking armed with guns.

>>64754286>>64754316The Rafale, is fully the equal of the F-35, Su-57 and J-20 as a fifth generation fighter. Like the KF-21, it is a 4.5 gen with development potential to be further upgraded to fifth gen. That is why many countries, such as India, Indonesia, Qatar and the UAE which have requested F-35s or were looking at other fifth gen options like the Su-75 and KF-21, are now Rafale users.The Eurofag Typhoon meanwhile remains a 4-4.5 generation aircraft with no further development potential, and the countries who are using it primarily (UK, Italy, Spain etc) are all F-35 users and have no incentive to develop it further.If the Rafale was made by a non-NATO country, they would call it 5th gen.

The best optic on the market for PDWs. No worries about the lasers’ height over your thumb since it’s being mounted just behind the muzzle. It can be improved/better optimized for PDWs if they incorporated a white light into it, so you don’t have to stick a giant flashlight on the side of the gun.Edit: was gonna delete my post once I realized this thread is not about the AEMS with the integrated lasers, but I’m gonna post it anyways.

Malaysian SU-30MKM is said to be the most modern Flanker variant after SU-30SM/J-16. One of best contributions of Malaysia's military efforts is to combine the best of the Soviets and the West. Malaysian equipment are well-known to be extensively upgraded with Western technology beyond the capabilities of simple 'Slavshit'. Good example of this is SU-30MKM which uses Soviet airframe & Western avionics. Malaysian SU-30MKM are the only Sukhoi SU-30 series that capable of using Sidewinder, Paveway and JDAM. Currently RMAF is able do do SEAD with Su-30MKM + Kh-31P. SU-30MKM "Growlerski" is also the first ECM/EW Sukhoi platform designed and build outside Russia.A multi-role platform with SAP-518 ECM pod and mix of SAP-14 jamming pod is considered similar to the United States ALQ-99 jamming system installed on the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler. Funny thing is the Russian are following Malaysian example that successfully integrated Russian-Western technology into their SU-30MKM.Coupled with IRST which allows it to safely detect target fr relative safety. Coupled wiv R-77/RVV-AE BVRAAM (which is now in RMAF inventory), the Malaysian Sukhoi still hav a fighting chance using the right fighting skills, tactics, weapons, sensors and airmanship against F-22/F-35. RMAF Sukhoi SU-30MKM also perfect in out maneuvering incoming enemy aircraft with the help of thrust vectoring control system or TVC. the actual ability of the Su-30MKM has been kept secret so far.
