George Kellgren is this century's John Moses Browning and we just haven't realized it yet because his guns are cheaply made and have questionable QC
>>64674041Name 3 innovations from kLOLgren
>>64674041>Is that an unconventional magazine layout or feeding system in a calibre I dont personally have a use for? SAVE ME NIGGERMAN, IM GOOOOOING INSAAANE!The level of dialog around kellgren really just serves to emphasize the difference between people who do and don't have an internal monolog. People really just think his designs are spontaneous and pulled from the ether, because for them that's probably how all their thoughts are, but there's always a clear conceptual provenance and line of reasoning behind them; provided you're able to visualize a turning apple in your mind.
>>64674053The RDB is the potential man of bullpups. Light, truly ambidextrous, with one of the best bullpup triggers on the market and doesn't do some dumb complex shit like the F2000/FS2000 to eject casings. It could be even better with some iterative improvements and if it wasn't made by Florida man with Coke bottle plastic.
My dad has been wanting a Glock for quite some time, though he has never owned a gun and isn’t the type of person to go buy one for himself. So I figure it’s the perfect gift to get him for Christmas. The only problem is I’m not sure how my stepmom will react, as they have 2 11 year olds in the house. If I do get him the gun, I also intend to get him a case with a lock on it. For added context, he gifted me my first gun (Mossberg 500) when I was 17, which was kept in their house when I lived with them while the children were toddlers. How should I go about this? ChatGPT says to tell him ahead of time but that seems very gay.
>>64673971Wrong Unc, the 2000s boomer anti islam slop is over and people know the heroic struggle of the Palestinians
>>64673973Which is why they want to ban immigration from muslim countries (shitholes) Lmao
>>64673988Okay? So even more of a reason to support Palestine and have diaspora Muslims do Dawah. In sha Allah
>>64673993Shut the fuck up nigger. No one likes muzzies in america.
>>64674063Wrong bro, the boomslop propaganda is over, younger ones are fine and young men see the strong martial culture with it. Its the most /k/ religion
Post wheelgats. Just bought this 3rd change hand ejector dated to roughly 1912
>>64652056>>64652084How do you like that beast? I nearly picked one up just because I have pistols in all the common auto calibers but no revolver and I want something that can shoot 357/38. Everyone on here was saying they were shit but it looks better than a Taurus to me.
Are revolver cartridges ever going to get shorter?
>>64667359I would be all over the 3" 692 if it had a fluted cylinder. I just do not care for the unfinished look of a smooth cylinder. Otherwise it checks just about every box I could want in a revolver of that form factor, with the added benefit of a spare 9mm cylinder for cheaper range plinking.
>>64671710no such thing as cheap .357, even 38 costs as much as 5.56
>>64671805>>64672125Excuse me chuds, he declared himself competent with guns one handed now, so you can stop lying. Those are clearly all bullseyes.
would a starship-based gunship or dragon-based gunship work?
>>64673885remove heatshield and wings, add RCS pods and you have a perfectly good orbital spacecraft. especially since spacex is moving towards methalox RCS thrusters and long term cryogenic storage in orbit
>>64673919>good orbital spacecraft>cylindrical fuel tanks>aerodynamic one-directional body>half of engines atmospheric>huge radar reflection>single housing with no redundancies or critical component separationAs lame as it may be, first generation orbital battle ships won't be flashy Burke-class inspired sci-fi destroyer monoliths but more like dispersed oil-rig style construction site.
>>64674024that is the shape you'd want in a military spacecraft you'd put armor and whipple shield at the front and minimize the crosssection maybe even a stealth shield like those stealth sattelites they tested in the 90s.as for the raptors you could run the millitary version with a different engine configuration like all 6 having big nozzles instead of 3 big nozzles and 3 small nozzles for that 30 extra isp. and high acceleration is not a bad thing if it ever gets into a gunfight even if its overkill for 'normal' orbital manuvers
>>64673857Congratulations, you turned one missile into a frag shower still coming at you at 7km/s
>>64674059which is greatif its blown up it cant maneuver anymore so its more likely to miss and in many small pieces its much easier on the shields

>>64669002Hey brah. It says handed to the post authority since the 15th of december. But i have been notified of nothing. And it seels the customs have not released it either.Which platform do you consult to check it?Merry christmas!
HH of VA, received. Curious what it could be given the size. Gosh I hope it's a grenade :DD
>>646670263 packages? You are too generous, I have been away at work but I know my gf said I’ve received 2. I’m not sure if I’d be able to pick it up, but thanks anon you are badass
Heading to work in a bit and will enjoy unpacking my presents late at night.

Can someone convince me not to buy a set of GTS OA+RF2 plates? My first plate carrier is coming in monday and I want something cheap to throw in em to train with while I save up for non poorfag plates.
>>64673372emt. you're right though, it's an obscure feature, just wanted to show the app is more than just a medication database>>64672346super comfy on this carrier, supports the weight really well. Kinda negates the ability to pop the front and get lower to the ground but I'm in it more for the weight distribution and capacity over a regular chest rig
>>64673713Are you currently literally being shot at with rifles?>noThen you don't need to buy shit plates while you save up for real plates>but my plate carrier will be emptyBuy a set of fake plastic airsoft plates so you can run around in your local forest like the faggot larper you want to be
>>64673770>emtHow many times do you see unidentified pills when you're being a taxi driver for fat niggers on dialysis?
Why do modern soldiers get PTSDs from killing sandcoons using drones from 40303 miles away safe and with air conditioning when soldiers 2000 years ago rejoicide at the chance of slaughtering the local populance with impunity?
>>64667722You misunderstand life expectancy stats. If the life expectancy is 50, that includes all those that died in service. If you survive that and retire, your expectancy shot up many years.
>>64666284Plenty of ancient soldiers had PTSD, why do you think Trepanning was so widespread?I think 6-7 times in Suetonius alone but Herodotus talked about soldiers at Marathon with symptoms. Caesar though his men were upset in the night about past losses (lol). Plutarch... Seneca...OP you never read any of this why are you here?
>>64666358I mentioned this with Caesar but it comes up OFTEN."My men wail for their mistakes" as if they worry about doing good for Caesar and not just the paycheck. Alexander and Patton thought the same way. Pure ego.
>>64667172I had thought it was "roughly right" and accepted it, I didn't know it was fake.

Trump class BBG vs Type 055 Renhai class cruiser. 1v1 ship combat Who wins?
I, for one, welcome our new burger overlords
>>64672409The Type 55 exists, while the pedophile class is a hyopthetical that might get built, maybe, in a decade. Real > feels, so the PLAN wins this one.>inb4 muh hypersonic CPS missilesThe PLAN is able to offload that capacity onto the PLARF's land based launchers.
>>64672409Trump Class is likely to be a nuclear powered carrier escort meant to keep up with rapid movement in high sea states. It will need to leverage new weapons like powerful lasers and maybe ABM railguns. So, if all that + anti ship CPS hypersonics work well, it'd probably beat a Type 055.Read my write up ideas here and weigh in:>>64672493>>64672533

Now that the dust has settled, what is the /k/onsensus on the MiG-23?
>>64673147Anyone who proposed ergonomics that was more modern than a 1940 setup was immediately sent to the gulag.
>>64673147>>64673800My understanding is that Soviet design tended to be very compartmentalised. You designed whatever part was your responsibility, then you broke the steps down into simple enough actions that an army of grandmas on a production line anywhere in the USSR could be shown how to do it with enough grandmas for each discrete step. It doesn't seem like it'd lend itself to the holistic approach you need to take to make a cockpit intuitive.I'm also currently reading a declassified CIA document from the 80's which has some interesting takes. Apparently Stalin felt that behavioural sciences were ideologically incompatible with the USSR, so they were basically 20 years behind on establishing engineering psychology as a field after his death, and of course it takes a long time for that to then filter down to actual decisions on deployed platforms.Apparently in the mid 80's they were looking a lot into making systems that kept metrics on the pilot to assess current mental and physical state and adjust or activate certain features in response. Maybe if the USSR had survived into the 90's, Soviet flight instruments would be monitoring you.
>>64664229Warsaw Pact pilots liked it because it was vastly superior to the Mig-21. But what mattered is whether it was superior to the then current NATO adversaries, which they had no idea how much is was not. They assumed it would be roughly comparable to contemporaries like the Phantom (more or less true), and only at somewhat of a disadvantage against newer NATOshit like F-16's (they were in for a complete shock post-1990). Turdworld operators hated it because unlike the Mig-21, it couldn't be maintained by 60 IQ illiterate circus monkeys. Hence the reputation of poor reliability.
>>64673994>Warsaw Pact pilots liked itnobody liked it because it was a total crap that not even the soviet air force wanted. and they knew perfectly well how horrible it is compared to any western aircrft.
>>64673866>Apparently in the mid 80's they were looking a lot into making systems that kept metrics on the pilot to assess current mental and physical state and adjust or activate certain features in response. Yugoslavs were monitoring the biorhythm of pilots, not having them fly on double or triple-low days. Hungarian pilots wanted it adopted after a string of fatigue-related accidents during the mid-80's (when they were pushing really high flight hours to maintain combat readiness), but it was met with resistance and never adopted. Of course nowadays biorhythm is regarded as pseudoscience. >>64674005So I guess the Flogger pilot who's memoirs I read was just flat out lying, huh?
Abramovsky is now of perfjekt, da?
>>64671737>5 minutes long Abrams trailer released after the convoy was blown up on the way to Pork roastAI assault brigade sure is slow
>>64671470Would be decent enough with shells, but without shells it is useless
>>64673548Funny how in this video "blown up" convoy reached Porkroast and dropped off troops, must be pretty strong AIhttps://youtu.be/e2IYRXXlZsE?si=HMEE2lIs-ycYZ7Se
>>64673438Fun fact: Russians made that Z-video. You can't find a single case of Ukrainians using that added Z-video. You will only find vatniks spamming it as a supposed example of hohol lies.Thank you for coming to my TED-talk.
I got tired of scrubbing, scrubbing and scrubbing these titanium suppressor baffles and I don't have any fancy tumblers or parts cleaners. I'm trying the vinegar hydrogen peroxide dip for the first time and wondering what you guys think about this. Does it work or is it a waste of time?/nogunz need not participate
Dude, an entry level ultrasonic is dirt cheap. If you can afford to shoot enough to gunk up your can you can afford an ultrasonic. They're magical and you can use them for everything, not just guns.
>>64673422Not my problem

I just dip mine in slip2k works if you leave them overnight.
Realistically speaking what are the mechs even contributing to this military force that you couldn't get by just swapping out the APCs for IFVs instead?
>>64673109Same.Started last week after 3 years of not touching it. Still got 500M C-bills I have no idea how to spend.
>>64673295Lmao yeah I've got like 120M myself that I don't really use. I never play anything besides 3xRAC2 Bushwhacker anyway.
>>64664944Sounds like you just want exosuits.
>>64617851>"Rifle" class weapons are a tricky thing: They do normal damage to non mech class armor, but significantly reduced damage to mech armor. Correction, they do less damage to anything that has armor rated BAR 10, which is the universal standard on any frontline plattform bigger than power armor. Mechs, combat vehicles, aerospace fighters, combat helicopters etc.
>>64641239...literally no in-universe military uses formations of 22 Mechs or 20 infantrymen, let alone both combined.>>64641272A merc unit scraping other whatever recruits they can find on short notice at whatever hiring hall they're at is not an indicator of anything.>>64641939Funnily enough, there are rubber bullets for some Mech machineguns in-universe, and standard SRMs can come in tear gas flavour. Water cannons are also a thing. (And you can do funny things like load them up a gasoline-inferno gel mix instead if you wanna do riot control the Capellan way.)

>>64673806now that's dazzle camo
>>64673795Chinks are scared. With that amount of firepower, a single Trump BBG can annihilate an entire chink carrier battle group.
>>64672356>> The US buildsThey publish an AI video to stroke the ego of the current president*
What do you think about the russian army? Seriously>They never fought a high scale war> Always fought against civilians and warfare groups> Only has a good reputation, because of their propaganda> Has never win a seriuos war
>>64673759>Somehow Akhmedov has returnedNo idea how he wasnt lynched already
>>64670150Muslims believe in dumb shit, but they're genuine about it. Ziggers will scream about how the "DA WEST IS FULLY OF TRANNIES AND FAGGOTS, RVSSIA IS ZASED AND TRAD" and then rape each other in the ass with the same breath. Muslims throw faggots off buildings out of a truly held conviction that homosexuality is an affront to their way of life and must be destroyed mercilessly.
>>64673818
>>64664926I'm honestly full of anticipation waiting for the books that will be written by Russian soldiers and officers once the war ends. The scale of suffering, death and corruption is so much bigger than Chechyna, it's insane. It will make for delectable reading.
Could the MiG-25 realistically have shot down a SR-71?
>>64662714Well the USAF sure thought as much, given how the mere existence of the MiG-25 forced them to change how SR-71 missions were planned and executed, and eventually drove them to give up on it..
>>64663468Stupid take. If it wasn't realistically possible, it wouldn't have changed anything about SR-71 activity at all. Instead it forced enormous restrictions on where the SR-71 could actually go without risking interception.
>>64663468>>64663468>crosses radar coverage in 10 minutes or less.yeah its not like the soviets had phones. the radar operator in kirgyztan could not have possible informed the guys 400km north that a fast plane is headed directly their way.
>>64672799not by the shitpile that is the mig-25
>>64673629they gave up on it because satellites are better.
