The great debate...which cartridge does /k/ prefer?https://thebiggamehuntingblog.com/8mm-mauser-vs-30-06-springfield/
>>64685273This. >makes the 6.5 creed and 7prc guys go “huh”?
when they make a hakim in 30-06 i’ll consider it. until then 8mm >inb4 fn49!!fuck that. i want my fingers to be at risk
>>64685036I forgot to include an opinion. For me, I think that for most purposes, a .25-.30 caliber bullet is more than sufficient for terminal effect, superior for exterior ballistics, and if I want a larger bullet for brush busting or dangerous game, I'm going to want a .35-.40 caliber like .375 Ruger, 9.3x62, or .404 Jeffery. So I would choose .30-06 over 7.92x57 every time.
>>64685293>just enough lack of info to help me say who fucking cares?
>>64685584I prefer the 6.5 Hakim.
Did any of his points have merit? Seemed to me like being a contrarian for the sake of it
>>64685423>in self defense scenario>fuck up cycling, pull trigger, click>cycle again, fuck up cycling again, click>dieNTA, but if you screw up once then you are liable to screw it up again, and you are very unlikely to figure out what you are doing wrong before whatever it is that you are self-defencing against kills you.A semi-automatic jamming of its own accord is extremely unlikely if the gun is of reputable quality and properly maintained, and if you use similarly reputable ammo and test it before hand to ensure reliable cycling. This applies equally as much to revolvers, pump action shotguns etc and all the potential non-user induced malfunctions that they can suffer. What sets short stroking apart from other malfunctions is that you can't reduce the risk of malfunction before hand . If you poorly handle a pump action in a particular way then it will definitely malfunction, and the only way to prevent that malfunction is to train so intensely that correct pumping is second nature. This isn't an undealable issue by any means, but it does put a burden on the gun owner to actually train with their weapon routinely, and someone who wants to leave a longarm in their bedroom for home defense might not want to train that much. Especially since the main argument for pumps over a halfway decent AR15 is being a few hundred bucks cheaper, which is hardly a good argument if you then have to spend a couple of hundred bucks a year putting shells through the gun to compensate for the more challenging handling requirements.
>>64684939>Did any of his points have merit?Let's look at his points (curse you, I had no intention of watching this video until you made the thread; I had already decided I like pumps):>From observing his wife who had less experience with them he noticed they are more prone to user induced malfunctions.This is true. Manually operated firearms require more familiarization to get good with. They are great for people who love guns and are willing to practice with them but suck for people who buy a gun and leave it in a nightstand or closet until they need it.>Semi-auto shotguns have become much more reliable but pump-action shotguns are still just as likely to run into those user induced malfunctions.>That's true (as long as you avoid Turkshit), a Benelli M4 will run full-power 00-buckshot no problem.Anon, you can buy a pump as long as you're willing to familiarize yourself with it; they can cycle both light recoil ammo and full power loads without messing with any springs, so they are perfect for hunters. Just understand that if you hand this gun to a person who normally doesn't use pumps, then he's going to suck a lot more than if you had just given him a semi-auto shotgun or an AR-15. BTW, his opinion is not the contrarian opinion; ever since firearm culture started worshipping GWOT vets, the pump shotgun's popularity has been in decline. There are fewer instructors willing to give shotgun classes than ever before, and there are fewer people willing to take those classes than ever before.
>>64685506That is true, there has been a cancerous proliferation of>TUNNEL SNAKE TACTICAL SELF DEFENSE CLASS>MASTER EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO SAVE YOUR LIFE*>3RD WEDNESDAY OF SEPTEMBER BE THERE OR BE SQUARE>EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT GUNS>[plz don't bring anything other than a Glock 19 and an AR-15 or I'll kick you out of the class because I don't know how to use them]
>>64685430It’s analogous to the immediate action for a ftf in a semi-auto pistol vs revolver >semi ftf>tap rack bang>revolver>so anyway I kept blastin
so simply dont short stroke? isnt that what training is for? seems like only a problem for bubba who bought an 870 for home defense in 1999 and only shoots it once every other year
Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?
>>64677112>>64677114Im pretty sure that warhead was just a dud and wouldve failed to detonate, improvised armor or no
>>64681285First world countries use kevlar liners. Chobam/hybrid ceramic is external, the internal structure is still steel.
Were bombers instrumental to WW2?
Are you truly painfully ignorant or being borderline retardedly rhetorical?
(the doctrine of) Strategic bombing was, yes.Bombers as combat aircraft were continuously under development for decades since World War One.After World War Two, the jet engine arrived and task of 'bombing' was handed off to other multi-role mil aircraft. By the 1960s, after ICBMs ans SLBMs came into wide service for nuclear weapon delivery, the intercontinental strategic bomber had become a limited role niche weapon.In many ways, World War II could be seen not only the peak and diversity of (different types of) bombers but of combat aircraft types, variations overall.
>>64685539Enemy cannot fight when you blow his factories and transportation network to Hell.
>>64685539In Japan, conventional bombing did more damage than the nukes.So yeah, extremely useful.

What are the strategic implications of Russia deploying (literal) cavalry wave attacks against Ukrainian positions and drones in the last month of 2025? Has the eyebrow been raised?
>>64685186it was either fall off the horse and maybe get hit or not fall off and definitely get hit
>>64685232>>64685240His movement tells a different story. Slow, relaxed reactions not befitting the life or death adrenaline rush situation. Even the way he falls off is more accidental loss of balance from the heavy back lean than a planned move or anything else. Then he takes his sweet time to get his bearings on the ground.
>>64685280He could also just be drunk, I imagine I'd have to take quite a few shots to even consider riding a horse in the middle of a battlefield.

EDC? i think so
>>64683603>if you did not have an immediate reasonable subjective fear of deathI should have stated "disproportionate defense of life", my mistake>demonstrable desire or intent to harm someone can be used to rebutt the claimI have yet to see a prosecutor convince a jury that being attacked was part of the defendant's plan>the burden is on Defendant to prove they had a subjective reasonable immediate fear for lifeNuh uh, the defendant has the presumption of innocence when claiming defense of life>State may offer evidence to rebutt the claimAFAIAA, that has only ever worked against Johnnie Miller when he was recorded imploding his own self defense claim in real time by repeatedly saying "I doubt it" when Aaron Howard threatened to kill him. His son [practiced deterrence rather than intimidation] was acquitted in the same shooting however >stupid looking gun because it's not going to do you any favorsThat's technically correct but unlikely to matterComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64684682>Nuh uh, the defendant has the presumption of innocence when claiming defense of lifeYou have a presumption of innocence meaning the State must presumptively prove the alleged conduct, but asserting certian defense require an ADMISSION to the conduct in order to justify the conduct. Self-defense is an AFFIRMATIVE defense, meaning you MUST admit to the alleged conduct but you assert the defense as a JUSTIFICATION to the conduct. The alternative would be the absurd situation where Defense claims "I didn't shoot him but if I did I feared for my life" which would make no sense.
>>64673769>What is even the target audience?Milk enthusiasts
>>64685436>Self-defense is an AFFIRMATIVE defense, meaning you MUST admit to the alleged conductNot if a grand jury rejects something like pic rel as sufficient evidence for indictment
>>64685665Well yeah, grand jury proceedings are not trial. They exist only to find whether there is sufficient probable cause of the alleged conduct to issue a true bill to indict. Culpability and potential defenses generally do not factor into the decision. In fact in most states the defendant (or more accurately the "target") has no right to participate in the grand jury proceedings. If the grand jury doesn't find probable cause there's no charge to assert a defense to.
>4x Rafales>1x Su-30MKI>1x Mirage 2000>1x MiG-29>52 minutes
>>64685414>>The upcoming F5 configuration of the aircraft will come as close as possible to achieving the capabilities of 5th- and even some 6th-generation fighters. But it will do so with an airframe designed in the 4th-generationWhatever the fuck they're smoking I want a hit
>>64685414>fat burger larp "defence analyst" poorly transcribes AI translation of chinese propaganda TVEntirely uninteresting. The PLAN will simulate all sorts of western threats, and certainly they do not see the Rafale as particularly high on that list given their J-10C in paki hands already dumpstered 5.
>>64676939i don't think they expected the pakis to actually shoot at themthey figured they'd bomb some stuff in retaliation to the terrorist stuff and then everyone would go back home having saved face like the last time
>>64685414>19fortyfiveWhatever it is, whichever side their shilling for, it's bullshit slop.
>>64676123>>64676939>>64681994>>64682006>>64685639Where can someone read online about the air battle? The Wikipedia article is useless.
Was it better than the su27?
>>64685202It's just a pigfat, slower, SU-27 with more payload. It will be significantly worse at anything other than lobbing a shitton of missiles , but SU-27 will fire first and hit first due to imparting more velocity onto the missile from more altitude in a traditional engagement.That's the long answer, the short answer is that it can defend itself marginally if it comes under fire while doing a bomb run. Less so than an F-15E
>>64685107>MIG-31M - long range interceptor, no equivalent in the USF-14
>>64685263Fair. Dem Phoenixes. As a counter-argument though, the Tomcat is much more capable close up.
>>64685072>Retard here.I recommend you end your life.>What roles did each have?The fact that you dare to post here without being scared of a ban for not even having read the wikipedia article summary is quite something.

Could the Secret Service fight off a raid of Tier 1 operators?
>>64677858Singapore used to be part of Malaysia but the rest of Malaysia kicked them out after a few years lmao.
>>64674064wait im no american, is the secret service yet another organisation than the cia and nsa? I thought they had the special activities center dudes
>>64674627I wonder how much of the Secret Service degrading is the result of political infighting deliberately hamstringing them out of hopes they don't do a good job protecting their enemy
>>64682056There's a youtube video with a Delta guy talking about how they parachuted onto the White House lawn undetected to show how vulnerable the White House was. The White House installed radars on the roof after that happened.

North! Your 2nd box finally came and I got to open it right in front of my extended family after they were charmed by your beautiful box artistry. To avoid the allegations of being a gimp, I opened the box to now be branded a furry. :) Your tent was amazing btw. I opened it not knowing what it was and it unfolded at warp speed and smacked me in the face, giving me a nose bleed. I loved your card, and as thanks I shall send you ONE cryptid wife out of my next catch. Also the art fucked me up and now I want a monster wife.10/10, absolutely great year. You were an amazing anon and I shall cherish your gifts~ Next year, my gift giving game WILL be on this level. I shall avenge you, Homulilly Anon!
would a starship-based gunship or dragon-based gunship work?
>>64678625you could have starship-based bigger designs but i think something small and simple to launch will be the first millitarized armed spacecraft
>>64678061>>64678084Honestly I think the core technology really missing is self propagating small unmanned vehicles capable of doing detail work. Shipping stuff up into orbit is a losing proposition vs sourcing what you need and assembling it already in space. Until that becomes a reality I don't see anything coming from space combat outside of one or two super powers launching them for clout before proceeding to do absolutely fuck all with them outside of burning literal piles of money on maintaining them.
>>64681299We're already decades past the first armed, manned spacecraft. Space has always been militarized, despite the rhetoric.>>64681328That's how ISS was built, launch modules then have astronauts do the required hookups.
>>64670128RODS FROM GOD
>>64670128No, because neither of those two things works anyway.
