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
>>64670529>which would have to be done by the usno lol, it would be done by a combined EU airforce, which is easily capable of doing the same.
>>64665042>Russia has dronesSure, but they also have staging grounds that can be HIMARS'd on a scale never seen in the Ukraine war. And they suddely have to content with hundreds of modern aircraft bombing the shit out of their supply depots, railheads, fuel supply, ammo dumps, etc.
>>64665929>4 years>hundreds of thousands of casualties>tens of thousands of lost vehicles>capableNah
>>64669312>Russians will fight if the regime tells them toTo a degree yes but the first and last mobilisation has been massively unpopular and the Kremlin actually shit their pants and called it off.The only way they managed to keep up manpower have been ever escalating sign on bonuses, specifically in impoverished areas, where they can pay out 20 yearly salaries without completely breaking the bank.Well and pressganing conscripts into signing contracts, but they try to keep it low key.
>>64665980Well let's be fair here, which other military has an actual presence in Ukraine in terms of manpower?>North KoreaOh god, you're actually right.
i wanna turn this cheap PA15 my coworker sold me into a commando style build from black ops 1 like picrel. has anyone here done this before?
>>64668727Trying too hard.
>>64668086Post the rifle as it is now so we know what we're working with. Potentially all you need is an OG car-15 stock, clamshell handguard, some 20rd mags, and a cheap sling to wrap around the gun so that it makes the bolt release, and charging handle impossible to use.
>>64668727Suck boy feet, gayboy
>>64668086>commando style build from black ops 1 like picrel
>>64668727Fuck yamudda
Are Battleships huge cannons better or worse than Close air support and other kind of artillery for the purpose of supporting infantry?
>>64671289Monitors also call to mind a particular form-factor, and one that was famously not seaworthy.I still think they're cool tho.
>>64671219>when modern day SPGs/arty can hit hundreds of miles awayNo, they can't. STFU kid
>>64664972This and /thread.>Shorter Range>Less Accurate>Less destructive (By virtue of being less accurate)>Exposes massive military asset to enemy counter-fireThe one arguable upside is that shells are cheaper than missiles. Except that doesn't matter because the West can just print infinite money and curb stomp any nation that has a problem with it, and it also isn't cheaper at all once you factor in the costs of building, supplying, fielding and staffing that fuckhuge waste of space against the cost of fielding, say, half a dozen F-35s. Just the staff costs alone for all the sailors you'd have to keep on that ship would outweigh the costs of building a hundred more capable fighters. I too enjoy Battleships but that age of Man is over.
>>64671846>better or worse than Close air support and OTHER KIDS OF ARTILLERYHe wasn't just asking about close air support.Worse in every conceivable way.
>>64672051Ah, my bad, didn't read the OP closely enough.

I was watching Ian's video on this captive pistol pistol and he said the round leaks gas out the front which gives it the volume of maybe a silenced 22 pistol or something. But there's got to be a way to improve these rounds so they're completely silent right? It would have limited application but still it'd be pretty cool
>>64662684The rounds literally do not release any substantial amount of gas (I believe Ian mentioned that they actually stay pressurized for quite a while due to being fully sealed), meaning the only noise is action noise and the sound of the piston/projectile slamming forwardMeans that aside from the very soft noise of the round firing, the autoloader only has the sound of the slide running while the revolver in theory only has the sound of the hammer striking the primerOnly way I can think of to make the rounds as close to 100% silent as possible at that point is to put them in a bolt-action pistol Welrod-style (or implement a slide-locking mechanism Mk22 Hush Puppy-style on the autoloader - either way you run into the problem of slow follow-ups) or completely shroud the cylinder on the revolver so that there's no action noise nor cylinder gap at play
>>64662684What do you think that would accomplish anon?
the best way to have it in a commercially somewhat viable way is a pepperbox revolver loaded from the back with blanks and from the front with bullets, a piston inbetween. thus registration us only necessary once and provided the gas seal holds (that's the problem here), it'll be just as quiet.could also use that other idea where the piston chamber is higher diameter than the barrel, and thus the movement of the piston propels the cartridge through a longer barrel than the piston itself travels.
>>64655448I saw that video and I thought Ian was a bit of a retard for not listing any positives of the design. It can fit in a sports jacket pocket for fuck's sake. Imagine being able to fire though your pocket with a suppressed pistol and then just keep on walking. Assassins would love it.
>>64668887wouldn't the revolver be better for that, no slide that can snag on stuff
would a starship-based gunship or dragon-based gunship work?
>>64671938All of those starship variants are still predicated on re-usability. That's the whole schtick behind starship anon. It's intended to go up and come back down, ferrying cargo or crew. Stop being retarded, why build from starship when you can start with a clean slate purpose built orbit-only design you launch via Falcon heavy if you're so spacex inclined. X-37 is also built to go up and come down. There is no point for a space warship to be able to come back down. Like I said, it's the equivalent of building an amphibious destroyer, there's literally no point to the amphibious capability.
Prefer to see it being used by a more effective military.
>>64672044china not a more effective military though, i get that you're very passive-aggressive from years of bullying and don't spout your delusions out in a direct way anymore but c'mon, this is just pathetic chinkshill.
>>64672016because its a simple to build variation of the standard 'orbital bus' starship (that will probably just ferry starlinks all day). just replace the payload bay with radar,lidar,weapons,solar arrays,a battery bank,a pressurized section,refueling modules.later you can use more complex constructions but something you can build and test on the ground in one piece and then just launch to orbit will probably be the best plan for initial armed millitary spacecraft
>>64670128No, fighting in space would be done with missiles, and you only need one to win. It's like being underwater, but much worse.
Deep modernization of the Ukrainian ZSU-23-4 Shilka to -4M-A1 variant made by the Ukrainian charity foundation
>>646653908.7 niggerkart Release for Italian tech tree
>>64667678Tell us more anon. Without getting too specific what did you work on? Navigation stuff, UI, power consumption, etc?
I didn't realize it took around 20 seconds to lock on. Considering that its effective range is around one mile, it's a bit surprising that it was able to play an active role in the low-altitude air defense complex during the Yom Kippur War.
>>64668770I was involved in 3.5 different projects by this time:1. control software for fiber optic based FPV drones (picrel is censored screenshot of the alpha version, cross-platform due to the use of GTK framework);2. guidance system for a tube launched fixed wing drones;3. "AI based" (lmao) automatic target acquisition and tracking;This is me doing this stuff after my day job kek, which honestly probably why I'm so fucked up right now at the end of the year.There's a ton of companies and projects being done in Ukrainian small scale private MIC, you'd be surprised just how much stuff is being worked on and how much demand there is for guys who can help.
>>64665390>Deep modernizationThey just repainted them a deeper shade of green?
Paul never used red dots or really any kind of optic. Was he right/wrong?I also miss Paul on another note.
>>64670436paul shoots accurately, cclamp larper faggots do not>>64669892I don't notice any lack of stability holding back on the AR unless I literally try to hold it by the mag
Paul was very arrogant for good reason, he had real world experience... and a ton of trigger time. Red dots are great as they get you to a certain level without needing so much practice. Say Paul was a 10/10 shooter, a red dot guy starting out might be 6/10, and the same guy on irons might be a 2/10. It probably took thousands of hours downrange for Paul to get as good as he did.
Reminder to stop looking for new Youtubers. The backlog of things you haven't watched is good enough.
>>64669849comment!
>>64671730Paul was obviously good at a lot of different things and in my experience shooting the same gun with a red dot and irons I shoot tighter groups with a dot, but a lot of the main benefits of a red dot, ie being faster, having both eyes open, being able to be used in all lighting conditions, parallax free are unrelated to the fact that Paul won a bunch of shooting competitions that were, I'm assuming, based on accuracy
Are modern U.S. shipyards still capable of producing ships on such a scale?
>>64671954also most countries today have massive reserves of strategic resources like metals and a lot of metal manufacturing today is done with recycled materials, metal is ridiculously easy to recycle.
>>64671843>blows up the Chinks shipyardsOkay, now what?
>>64671802 only one??
>>64672012battleships were already of very niche usecase by that point, which is why it baffles me that people want to see them return.

I've been thinking about the Trump class since the announcement and what I've come up with is more political/strategic than tactical. First I'll get its mission out of the way, I bet it'll skirt around the chink dongfeng range like a carrier, and deliver externally cued concentrated effects on target especially with hypersonics that are currently only available on SSNs whose production lines are maxed out and Zumwalts which we stopped making. Its self defense batteries can allow it to do this in both littorals and blue water.Now about politics, the real kicker is that its tonnage and dimensions require it to be built in a Carrier/Amphibious drydock, which means it will need more space that is currently occupied by CVNs and Amphibs. What better way to get around that than to reopen all the old, big drydocks? Hanwha Philly is a given with the $150B Korean money. Newport News can expand. Hunters Point and Sparrows Point are good candidates for next. Hell, maybe even Mare island. The Navy has been dragging its heels to increase industrial capacity because of the Columbia being a fucking budget black hole and also NAVSEA is just incurably retarded, but now Trump is giving everyone a golden ticket to add this capacity to a budget sheet, but politically it's for his super duper battleship instead of a boring concrete box. Looks good for Congress and local voters.Best case we get 4-5 ships for $5-6B each, spend $8-10b on R&D as an inefficiency politics tax, cancel the program because it's retarded to have 20 of them, and get a ton of shipyards that can service carriers and LPD/LHD/LHAs and bring the Amphibs to double 40% FMC rate.Absolute worst nightmare case the battleships eat into Carrier drydock space, we get 1-2 ships instead of a Carrier on schedule.What does everyone think?
>>64670314My conjecture is that Trump did something over the top and silly to catch everyone's attention, but it will turn into something more reasonable in a week or so. It's clockwork.
>>64670314personally think that besides the naming conventions and the class the vessel allegedly is which are purely for show, these things are meant to be true CG's meant to replace the ticos and for that role I think they would be pretty ideal for it depending on how they outfit them. that said I doubt they are going to make 20-25 of them and I also doubt they are going to have railguns, however for a modern cruiser this would be pretty good albeit on the heavy side.
>>64670398Speak English
>>64671426>are they serious about bringing back all big gun dreadnoughtsYou tell me.
>>64671476imo the railguns should be a defensive weapon instead of offensive
Why do black guys ALWAYS keep this little rubber dingus on their AK charging handle like it’s some sort of accessory?
>>64671638they act hard untill some dirt gets on their shoe.
Buy an ad shlomo
Acts like a charging handle extension i guess.
>>64671603Wypipo don’t season they charging handles
>>64671602>Do you leave the protective plastic sheet on your phone screen or monitor? Do you leave the battery sticker on your optic or WML? Do you just shove a spoon through the paper seal on your peanut butter leaving it in place?Yes to all of those except the wml because I don't have one

>>64657774
Last one dead. These threads need to be more common.Between a Mossberg 590 and a Remington 870, which should I keep? Recently was given an 870 and I don't really care to have two shotguns.
>>64670780I dont know, but I do know you can stuff the bottom of AR or AK mag pouches with bandanas, extra supplies, etc. to accommodate for shorter mags or shotgun cards. Has the added bonus of extra backup kit just in case.
>>64670865They'd just be for range shooting, I dont hunt, have anywhere nearby for clays, or larp. I have a dedicated home defense gun already, so whichever shotgun i keep would just be for fun. I hear a lot of more modern Remingtons have issues, and if I did the serial lookup correctly, mine was made in 2014. I know you can treat 500 series guns like shit and still have them run
It fired one box without issue and jammed on every shot on the other. Is velocity really that big an influence? No clue if this thing still has its barrel seal activator in it or not
>>646715691200 FPS is the magic number. go below 1200 and it wont work right.
