>>64696913I have a jääkäri XL and kahakka 25, use them both in my military doings. Both work well with armor, but for longer movements I remove my belt and attach it to the ruck so I could use the hip belt. It is very comfy knowing that my packs wont fail me so for me thats worth the price.
>>64702972I have about 5 for gypsies and 7 or 8 for russians

were important because every naval maneuver was planned with the consideration "what if a battleship shows up?".there werent many grand battleship engagements but that was on purpose because every side planned around them, an in effect battleships shaped every naval action
>>64706183hindsight is 20 20, but at the time they were a fear in the back of everyone's mind now that youre grown up youre not afraid of the dark but when you were a kid you were scared to take out the trash after 7pm

>>64706077They were important because they already existed and so naturally they were used where possible. Few were built and commissioned during the war itself, and those were ships already laid and and/or paid for. Numerous countries canceled planned ships.

>why do you need so many guns?>why do you need more than 1 gun that does the same thing?
>>64705854Whenever I go to my FFL to pick up, I have to sit in my car and close my eyes and focus on slowing my breathing before going in. My hands shake otherwise.There are only a handful of experiences that still elicit such a strong reaction as the excitement of getting (another) gun.
I realize everyday I wake up I live like a mad man. If I allowed people into my home (I don't) they'd think I'm crazy. Some guns lying in different states of disassembly, a reloading table/knife sharpening station in my living room, a heritage under the bathroom sink, 2 3-D printers in the laundry closet (they get loud), decorated like a 1910s archeologist's study (pelts, native masks, flags in frames, some of my grandpa's guns, a few reproduction John Trumbell and Samuel Morse Paintings, etc.), and that's just the gun stuff. That's all ok, because I'm happy and I want them. I don't need to concern myself with what faggots on the internet think.
>>64705854>>64705942There's consumerist materialist hoarding of bullshit to sit on a shelf in the gun community like any other. Irrational instincts to love shiny new stuff and accumulate it like a packrat weren't invented by collectors of stuffed dolls and laminated paper cards, they're the human condition.But something you can say about guns is that they hold their value pretty well.They don't become worthless the instant you take them out of some special collector edition box, you can own them for a lifetime, use them whenever you want, and then sell them or pass them on with most of their value intact or even see them appreciate.So the tax you pay for being a hoarder is as low as it gets. 'Oh no, my dad passed away and all he left me was tools, land, ingots of precious metal, and guns. What a wasted life and worthless inheritance.'I can happily buy a pointless gun and feel no guilt and laugh at funkopops and feel no hypocrisy.
>>64705886>indeed I'm likely to use them in an offensive fashion
>>64705854This can applied to any hyper consumerist bullshit
It's almost time for $0 tax stamps. You can finally, legally, have fun. Buy a $400 P1S from Bambu, some Pa6-cf filament from polymaker, and get to work. Some 3dp2a guys released the FTN 5.0 suppressors recently. There are suppressors for pistols, pcc's, and rifles. Let's talk about the last one.To start out you will need ONE of these muzzle devices:>Breek threaded muzzle+ Castle Shield <-Best one>KAK slimline micro flash can>1/2x28 to 3/4x16 thread adapterNow you can print an insert that will attach the suppressor body to the muzzle device. The breek insert is a clamshell design. Put the two halves onto the castle shield and screw on the suppressor assembly. The other two will need some epoxy.IF you want the suppressor to be permanent, epoxy the threads of the insert and suppressor body. It'll help with the longevity and make a better gas seal.The main body will NEED to be supported by a sleeve. You can print the sleeve, but the lifespan is shorter with a lot of restrictions. You can use a 56mm ID and 60mm OD aluminum OR carbon fiber tube with jb weld. You can also use fiberglass and resin wrapped around the tube, but this is less effective.Comment too long.

>>64705903I used printscan. Chose a small mom and pop business location to make it easier and less crowded. There's a few other companies that can do it too, but forgot which ones. Just Google who can do the electronic ones. Usually most major FedEx or UPS places have a kiosk hidden. At least it was a few years ago.
These threads are always hilarious.Tacticool d-bags arguing about tech they'll never have, or instantly destroy if they buy it. lol
>>64705168I honestly don't see it, at best the XM177 muzzle device is going to make a comeback for nostalgia reasons
>>64705914Nearest UPS that does PrintScan is like 100 miles and I don't get results for local mom and pop. I guess I could just buy a single suppressor through Capitol Armory but the idea of paying them an extra $35 just to send me the file they already have is rough

Let me guess, you think your airforce needs more expensive higher performance aircraft.You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.

>>64704010It uses them in no small part because that way you don't get autistic fucking DCS players who think they're real pilots bitching about every little divergence from reality done in the name of gameplay, balance or fun. You have a lot more flexibility for filling in blanks, doing unusual things and generally prioritising the overall experience over the autistic detail this way.Ace Combat gets away with it because it's so far removed from reality that anyone complaining it's unrealistic is obviously missing the point. Here they'd be much more insufferable.Tiny Combat Arena might be a little closer to what you want though, even if official support from the dev is pretty slow.

>>64699761How the fuck is Pierre Sprey posting from the grave?
>>64706247Nah he'd hate the Compass, it's too multirole. Do you think he'd be able to sleep at night endorsing a plane that needs a gunpod, for that matter?Now the A-19, that'd be his shit.
Was Flak useless or just a bad choose against bombers? The window to shoot them was tiny and the fragmentation radius was too small, it need almost a direct hit with time or proximity fuse.It only make sense when you don't have fuel and aluminium for your interceptor planes.
>>64705305>You would needed hundreds of them or at least a few dozens to make bombers bother to evade and miss the targetYou're underestimating the desire of people to not die. It's like thinking infantry won't duck and cringe to lower their profile by a couple inches if bullets land dozens of meters away. 'But that doesn't actually make a difference' says man not being shot at.And you're overestimating possibly the cost of producing flak guns compared to the alternative of not having any flak.In the interwar peacetime some airforces practiced beautifully precise bombing with incredible mechanical computer sights that could put a bomb up a cow's ass.Then they learned the reality of getting shot at, precision in strategic bombing completely evaporated, and the doctrine became mass high altitude nighttime saturation bombing.>>64705283>It only make sense when you don't have fuel and aluminium for your interceptor planes.Porque no los dos. They're not mutually exclusive if you just accept the small risk of hitting your own interceptors if they're right amidst the bomber formation when it's right over the target. It's like arguing artillery is only for bums who can't just go kill the enemy with direct fire assets.
It was frightingly accurate.I read a memoir about a night fighter pilot, and he went into great detail about German early warning systems, GCI, and flak defense.Flak batteries were guided with a rangefinder and a kommandogerat mechanical fire control system. It was just looking down the sights and shooting willy nilly.

Whats the biggest caliber gatling gun that can be made, assuming we abide by the current laws of physics?The current record holder for the largest caliber gatling gun is the T250 37mm gatling gun used by the T249 Vigilante
>>64703525>My body is readyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El2I5UjC_0Q
It's not really about physics as practicality. You can easily make a 40mm gatling gun for example, but going over that quickly gets ugly due to engineering shitfest:- barrel mass skyrockets, i.e. you need much thicker walls and stronger locking surfaces;- rotating inertia explodes, imagine spinning a multi-ton barrel cluster up to useful RPM takes huge power and stresses;- ammo handling becomes the bottleneck, i.e. big rounds are heavy/long, so feeding them reliably at high rate is brutal;- recoil & mount stiffness become dominant, you’re basically bolting an artillery piece to something;- heat management becomes less about “cooling” and more about “your barrels are a furnace”;So technically you make something like a 155mm gatling gun, but it wouldn't be as practical and fast as you might expect.
>>64703573uooh ToT
>>6470335240 mm bofors is doable because the 37mm in your pic used a variant of that cartridge that had been necked down. IIRC there was a 90mm brass-cased tank/aa cartridge. It theoretically could have had a rotary cannon built for it.
>>64703352Stupid question.Engineering a 105mm rotary (or larger) is entirely possible. Doing it is also entirely impractical, which is why nobody does it. You could probably sell that idea to ragheads. They love dumping money into stupid "weapons" shit.

>>64705007There's a huge gap between say, partial psychological disability enough to count as disabled by government standards, and being so fucked that you require a 3 or 14 day stay in a psych facility for them to check to make sure you arent' fucked. That's a very, very high standard to hit. Your average street bum in in the subway generally isn't hitting that level. Again, this one can be mitigated with a lawyer. If you have your shit together enough to pay for your own lawyer, and particularly your own psy second opinion that says you're ok, then who the fuck is the state to say otherwise?So, you get the vibe? Don't fuck up enough that you get your own brain relieved of command for a few days. Work on any problems you have, with drinking, with drugs. Work on making sure any violent thoughts and actions are properly in check. Manage stress levels BEFORE blowups. Remove yourself from potential conflicts BEFORE blowups, even if they're not your fault. See a psychological professional if you need it, and change the ones you see if the ones you have aren't working for you, as there's a huge range of techniques and competence.
>>64705007>>64705009Not him, but what am I supposed to do when I've already attempted suicide from growing up and still living in a bad home, and have (probably*) later been diagnosed with psychosis from being given a ridiculous cocktail of medication and subsequently acting out when I was voluntarily admitted into a stressful psychiatric care facility?(*It's not like they tell me these things, even though they should. It doesn't help that one of the workers there alluded to that being the case [she wasn't even supposed to be the one telling me], so now it's gonna be on my conscience forever, and it's not like I can just simply view my medical records, because they make it *that* hard to get them [speaking from past experience], and I'm too stupid to know where to get them anyway.)The unanswerable question seems to be "how is anyone supposed to turn their life around?". Are they gonna discharge former POWs because of attempting suicide in captivity? Imagine that: "Guys, you can't be soldiers anymore, you attempted suicide to avoid being tortured, it's game over for you..." Are they gonna get offended reading this and ask how I can possibly compare growing up in a bad home to being a POW, even though I never even said *anything* in-detail about what my home life was like; so it could've realistically been any measure of "bad", no matter how much they deny how bad it could've actually been, with no info to go off of!?
