So when your designated bro-bot joins your squad in the trench, what kinda of roles are you going to give it? Sentry detail seems like an obvious role. It'll never fall asleep and won't have to suffer through harsh weather conditions the same way a human might while trying to stay awake all night. They'd also make good point men, have them kicking in doors and clearing rooms. Having them act as medics to help people in combat zones seems like an obvious choice as well.On a more personal level, would you dress them up? Give them names? Or would you be more detached and treat it like a piece of kit? I don't think individual units would have advanced onboard AI. I figure a bulk of their processing is handled by a control hub nearby, but that connection might be disrupted by ECMs, so some onboard AI might need to act as a backup.
>>65043802There's already a book about that in the i, Robot universe. Robots from two different companies decide that the other company is a threat to humanity. They have a huge war that rages in the streets where they tip toe around humans because they can't hurt them. People eventually continue on as normal while the robot war becomes a background thing.
>>65043806Are you saying guys in a trench will strap a fleshlight to Boston Dynamics looking bitch? I might, but I'm a werido. Perhaps if they had synthetic skin and other more human-like details, that might make me think that. Otherwise, that sounds like a waste of money. Why coat a bot in fancy silicone accessories and send it into the dirty and messy environment like a battlefield trench? If you just need a humanoid bot to operate in a battlefield, a bare terminator chassis or something similarly simple would suffice, I think. From a logistics point of view>Is it cheap?>Is it easy to deploy?>Is it effective?If it checks all those boxes, it doesn't matter whether it's a spider bot that navigates mine fields, a tracked wagon with a gun on top, or a humanoid proxy to act as a stand-in for humans. With all those boxes checked, it ultimately boils down to>Will this tech allow our guys to accomplish the mission where they couldn't feasibly do it without the aid of said tech?

Hypothetically if you had a relatively prominent and defensible hill on your property and an unreasonable amount of free time how would you fortify it against an attacking force that could best be described as determined and crafty methheads. Kind of like modern equivalents to medieval brigands. Bonus points if it isn’t just First World War trench systems.

Is this a good gun for a SHTF situation?
>>65050132Oh boy, another thread about this thing.Taking your question at face value, sure. It's a short barreled take-down AR. Either full auto or one of the civilian semi auto clones with an arm brace (wouldn't really be a huge performance difference between the two). The folding/takedown elements of the design are specifically geared for being in a bag underneath an ejection seat. That means you can store the gun in a relatively compact/unobtrusive and non-obvious container which is certainly useful but it isn't particularly quick to deploy since you have to take a second to assemble it. A different design where the stock folds instead of the barrel or perhaps a bullpup could also be compact, but would have no loose parts that could get lost or be carried under a jacket ready to shoot.In the best case scenario, the GAU-5 is still significantly bigger and harder to conceal than a pistol, which would be absolutely essential for trying to move through held/contested ground as a non combatant. Walking around with any rifle or visible weapons through territory held by armed militia or military forces instantly turns you into a bullet magnet. A rifle disassembled in a case is of little value unless you have opportunity to assemble it before using, which seems to be of dubious value. A rifle concealed under a jacket is not immediately obvious from a long distance, but would probably get you detained or shot on close inspection. If you are helping people hold territory (IE you are in the militia) then sacrificing performance for concealment is unnecessary.For innawoods concealment is also not as important and 5.56mm/223 is a useful caliber for hunting, plus it's still a self loading rifle with generous magazine capacity so it's better for protection than a bolt action. But in this category weight is more important than concealment.Overall, seems like it's neither fish nor fowl. Not useless, but sub optimal.
>>65050216Aren't all ARs takedown
>>65050232Yes, in that you can take the upper off the lower, but having a quick detach/attach barrel is a different story.You could conceivably separate the upper/lower on an AR pistol for slightly more compact storage but it wouldn't be as compact overall as a GAU-5. I reckon something like a 7" BRN-180 with a folded stock could do it because it doesn't need a buffer tube but then they'd be adopting an entirely different weapon system that shares fewer parts with an M4/M16 than they would like.
>>65050247Running 5.56 from a 7" bbl seems like a bad idea
>>65050257Performance is going to suck but if you need ammunition compatibility with your existing inventory you are going to have to deal with it.If that's not a factor, then 300 BLK plays nice with short barrels. That's the route I took with my AR pistol. I can theoretically CC it as well.

>>65048667Happy Easter! I went to the range today, it was okay. Wish I brought more ammo. Might go tomorrow, hopefully they have a good selection in town.
My C308 has a Fren now. A PTR-91 A3SK. Got it in a trade from a dealer who had a new/old stock one from California so I promptly de-Californicated it. Currently has a Turkish collapsing stock and a Paki wide handguard.Does anyone know if these take standard G3 flash hiders or are they threaded like US AR-10s? It has the solid metal Faux-hider meant for California and I have an HK-21 FH on the way. I suspect I might have fucked up ordering it because the thread pitch might be different. Also did they just spin them on for CA or is it rockset/locktite in place? I don't see any signs of pin/weld like the C308 brake is.Also yes that's a 1980s Thermold magazine I got for $5 because it looks cool. I don't actually use it.

I haven't seen one in a good while. I'm seriously thinking about buying an AUG soon so I'd like some advice. I know there's both 5.56 and .300 blackout variants to choose from and I'm leaning towards the .300 and just using supersonic ammunition. AUGs are notable for being poor suppressor hosts anyways, right? Plus, prices for supersonic .300 aren't that bad according to AmmoSeek when compared to 75/77gr 5.56 which I already buy. Plus if I ever change my mind about .300 I could just buy a 5.56 barrel.

>>65050106i had the same problems using that shit in my S&Ws. the 38s always ejected fine but the 357s got so fucking stuck i had to hammer on the ejector rod after 2 cylinders worth i gave the 4 boxes of ammo i had left to a dude with a lever gun that seemed to have looser chamber and was able to shoot it
>>65050106Fuck steel-case ammo. It worked through slavshit, and it provided us a lot of cheap shooting, but Wolf .223 ended my range session once through an AR and Wolf .308 tore the extractor off my Savage after it got stuck in the chamber.
>>65050149Tulammo 308 was the worst. I've seen it grenade a FAL, a bolt action and an M14. That stuff was full-stop unsafe to fire.
>>65050106I remember people swearing at that ammo many years ago. Swearing at, not by, just to be 100% clear. Steel is fine for cartridge cases with a taper, and pretty awful for straightwalled cases, for this exact reason.>>65050145The lower chamber pressure would help, I imagine.And I think it's as simple as a lever-action rifle only having one chamber, along with having a literal big lever to apply leverage with, which makes it fly better there, as opposed to trying to drive a small rod for six fired chambers at once.>>65050116Is yours picky on .45 Auto?
