Not true. Perfidy only applies to units involved in combat, (among other things, but specifically in this case) disguising yourself as a harmless civilian while intending direct harm to the enemy. Feigning non-combatant status, with combatant being the operative word. The intent of defining this act as criminal is to avoid situations where bystanders and civilians end up killed or wounded out of paranoia, just in case they might be the enemy in disguise.
A factory does not directly participate in combat and is not a threat to any aircraft. Hence, disguising it as a residential area is not a war crime. Well, as long as you don't hide anti-air weaponry beneath the camo. But in that case it's the act of disguising the weaponry, not the factory, which is in breach.
If you somehow consider industry to be enough of an active participant in a conflict to render this act criminal, then so are civilians, also, rendering the whole argument moot to begin with. They run the machinery and the society enabling hostile action against you, don't they? Just as valid in that case.

Anyhow, there's no need for Reddit-tier thinking, where you jump to a conclusion based on some half-remembered fucking factoid.
>>
>>64761578
Denying soldiers dressing as civilians is to remove incentive to attack civilians.
Disguising military factory (all aircraft factoties are military) as civilian houses is just giving enemy incentive to attack civilian houses (not like Allies needed it to firebomb civilians though).
>>
>>64761613
As if people would waste munitions leveling random neighborhoods in the hopes that one might in secret be an industrial facility, considering the accuracy at the time, instead of using, you know, intelligence and landmarks to get an idea of what to hit. Simple cruelty being outside the scope of this topic, that is.
Nevertheless, it's not a war crime. Sure, a perverse incentive or not, but the written word refers to combatant and non-combatant status. Non-combatants can pretend to be whatever they want. Fun fact, the British built a fucking cathedral-ass sewage pumping station. (Check out Crossness Pumping Station at your leisure.)

I mean, the firebombing of Tokyo did have great effect on the dispersed workshop-level industry scattered among the city. However, the argument on whether a war crime occurred on not revolves around the civilian casualties and devastation involved, aimed at the USAAF. Not the fact light industry was intimately nestled with civilians.

All rules lawyers need to shut the hell up. You are a bigger waste of air than theologians discussing needlework.

FACT: there has never been a conviction for war crimes of the WINNING side
FACT: it's only a war crime if you lose
FACT: adhering to the laws of war only makes you more likely to lose
FACT: international laws were imposed to make weaker sides less likely to succeed

This has been your mandatory reality check. VAE VICTIS remains the True Law of the world.

I'd say a supermassive black hole, but >64752575 >>64760683 beat me.

I am about to import 80,500 of these indian hesbee 22 short single shot handguns. They are currently in transit being shipped from India.

They have sat in storage as they were built in 1959 as gunlaws became more restricted in India.

If you were in my shoes, how do I make this business venture successful.

I purchased each pistol at 2160 rupees (around 24$) and they cost me ($1500 for import and $5000 in shipping) so i am in for abit under $2mil.

Do you think people will actually buy these or should I put my house for sale ASAP?

>The RAAF is intentionally designed not to be unequivocally stronger than Indonesia's air force so as to avoid triggering an arms race with then.
Well that’s failed hasn’t it, Australia has the most lethal air force in the region and Indonesia is buying everything on the market (bar the Gripen and Eurofighter, which considering their eclectic collection is weird)
>Indonesia's air force should be stronger in Indonesian airspace, Australia's air force should be stronger in Australian airspace.
Above the actual major population centres above Java, Sumatra or Borneo yes the Indonesian airforce would be dominant solely because it’s their home turf and the majority of the air defence and ship-to-air missiles are going to be around there. But I truly believe that the air space above above West Papua and the southern isle’s would be contested or outright owned by the RAAF. Meanwhile the only Australian territory at risk of the Indonesian airforce is the Cocos Islands, you are completely right in the fact that the air space above Australia itself will be Australian control

>>64761511
It’s worse now because the Australian’s can bomb Jakarta a thousand kilometres away, they don’t even have to put their aircraft over the Indonesian mainland before dropping ordnance.

>>64761522
It won’t be the last time either, off the top of my head they are fielding combat aircraft from America, Russia, Brazil and South Korea. And will soon be fielding French, Turkish and Chinese aircraft, what an absolute nightmare.

>>64761556
And to continue because my post got too long
>300 million strong, 2.2 TFR
And how are you supposed to field them when the Australian’s sink your navy and blow up your logistics aircraft on the tarmac? Your one advantage is that you have numbers and the only countries that could overcome that is the US and China, any other country would do the smart thing and sink your shit with long range munitions like the Tomahawks and LRASM’s like that the Australian’s have and then wait you out as the guys in Papua and Aceh decide to boogaloo
>>
>>64761502
That was certainly a concern back in the mid cold war, but I don't think it's been part of RAAF procurement more recently.

Yeah it was kinda like that when I bought it too, but I just slicked it up by opening it up and cleaning/oiling it first and then dry-firing it an untold billions of times while watching TV. I do that with every new revolver I buy, regardless of brand, because I’m too lazy to polish them.

I feel like when we're at the point where a logistics driver is getting hit by enemy fire, what fuel he's carrying is gonna be fairy irrelevant to his chances of survival.

When I submit a 4473 to a shop in order to buy a handgun, will I be flagged if I've admitted myself (voluntary) to the mental hospital for major depression, in Seattle, WA? I have no criminal record, ostensibly not on the police's radar, I've never even applied for a CPL and gotten my prints recorded. HIPAA keeps me out of the federal background check, no?

Are lower tolerance guns more accurate?

It's just not that hard to make an inconel tube. Maybe there would be a brief price bump but really the problem was always supply. Traditional cans are only ever gonna go down in price.

speaking for Germany, imo we should do it quite like France. A couple air launched cruise missiles like ASMP or future hypersonic. 4-6 SSBNs with ICBMs. And a few trailer launched ones that are stored in mountains until deployment, maybe in the Harz.
>>
>>64761732
>maybe in the Harz
I fully support any plan or scheme that increases the chances of those mountain asswipes getting nuked
that being said, it would be best if deterrence could be spread out over the EU with different nations having their own part to play in it. having to build up and maintain a nuclear trident on your own is just to expensive.
so if one does air delivery, an other sub based second strike and a third (maybe Spain) ground based you'd not just spread out the costs but the political capital.
ideally you'd have a certain amount of common work like r&d shared but with the participants having their own autonomous delivery capacity.
for instance a shared air delivered weapon but with several nations being able to maintain and field them all on their own.
that would also defeat trying to break the block apart. if you mess with any one of them you'd likely have to resort to means that would trigger a response from all of them.

>lying their asses off with allocating kills
No they weren't
Enough research has been done that most of the Western kills have been verified with loss records from the Western allies
There's no reason to doubt that the same system in place in the East was somehow corrupt
Especially since even the Luftwaffe High Command was incredulous and demanded extra verification for the kills in the east
And for the given number of missions and flight hours, the combat records of German aces in the East track well with Allied records of Allied aces; that is, some Allied aces also scored the same number of kills per combat hours as the German aces with >100 kills
It's just that German aces (were forced to) fly more and fight more, and against a retarded enemy

>17 kills were given to Hans-Joachim Marseille
Marseille was literally the best or 2nd best shooting eye in the sky according to every Luftwaffe ace
>and 5 kills to the other 100 pilots
Well there's the rub. The Luftwaffe had a lot of poorly-trained pilots and their aces were too busy scoring to train them up properly.

What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.

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.

It's a shitty just-good-enough-for-Bundeswehr-contract *rifle* design, not one of HK's finer moments. Polymer receiver of theirs worked relatively better for shorter-OAL dimension guns like its MP7 (best) and UMP cousins, and the short-barrel G36 'carbine' variants are passable for under-100 meter CQB submachine gun missions. It is a light weight, cheap to manufacture (Bundeswehr contract, again) and mechanical-function-cycle durable design. The LMG derivative of G36 wasn't suitable for sustained fire due to trunnion melt and thus dropped from further engineering development
