>You could get to the point where stealth and countermeasures are so good that missiles can't kill reliably. In such a scenario your only option may be some type of unguided kinetic weapon that can't be soft-killed.
DEWs will still be an option, the same developments that'd make them viable countermeasures and neutralize missiles will make them effective at fucking up a bigger aircraft too. Might see countries get serious about hypervelocity kinetic guns, railguns or coilguns too I guess.

Though I don't think traditional dog fighting would ever come back at this point, it'll still all be computer controlled and if anything would accelerate eliminating pilots from the ASF role. If you really do have to go closer range and higher energy maneuvers become valuable, then not having the g-force limitations of a meat pilot is just too big an advantage. Drone will also have full spherical all around fusion vision, both optical and a lot of other shit. Be an interesting new arms race in some ways, but not a return to anything old either.

How come glocks frequently jam if you limp wrist them but other handguns don't?
https://youtube.com/shorts/FYG4aNr-b8o

JaredAF did a video on this as well. Basically, light frame has low inertia/ momentum, so not enough energy from the recoil to move the slide itself. Berettas also have this issue when limp-wristed, though they fail to feed when the Glock would fail to extract.

Or you could get a revolver and bend your elbow to absorb the recoil. Just don't get one with engravings off the bat.

Never been in real combat but I've done some fire and maneuver ranges that were real motherfuckers. You'd be shocked just how retarded you get when you're completely fucking gassed and still have to get the lead out.

>>64717886
I own a 17c. Never had a limpwrist failure. And I've definitely tried. Two finger firing the gun with the weakest ammo I can get my hands on and it just goes. I don't know if it's because of the porting or the slide being slightly lighter due to the cutouts but there you go.

>bend your elbow to absorb the recoil
I still don't really understand what this means. Granted, I don't have much experience with revolvers but I don't see how moving your elbow would absorb recoil.
>>
>>64754448
absorb, dampen. Twist, bend. It's a reference to a game.
https://youtu.be/TIsgXnOlEM4?si=nrQo66XaIUTusiS3
Point is, revolvers (usually) don't depend on recoil to cycle the weapon. A firm grip will keep it from flying out of your hand and/or into your face.

be me no guns in ny
browsing for high power diodes at 8pm
stumble upon this monstrosity "KX260 DIY Laser Cannon"
claims 260 WATTS of optical power
for reference a fucking 1W laser blinds you, and a 6W Sanwu burns wood instantly
this thing claims to be 260W
that is literally a quarter of a microwave oven concentrated into a beam
"Range: 50m" (probably the range at which it instantly ignites clothing and coons)
"Battery life: 5 years" (nuclear diamond battery? or just lies?)
"Fast charging" for when you need to melt a tank column at 8 AM and be home by noon.
Is this actually real? The specs imply this is an industrial rust cleaning laser repacked into a handheld "cannon." If the 260W rating is even 10% legitimate, this is not a mere laser pointer, it's a war crime with a handle and possibly the most fucked up thing I can legally point at some mans eyes.

Also I get ads for it on instagram 24/7. Should I buy it?

I don't care about whatever meme oil of the month fags are pushing, but at the same time I don't understand this OH NOES THE PRICE at all. You're supposed to use a little bit in the right places, not immerse the fucking thing every day. A single tiny bottle can last for fucking ages. It's the equivalent of spending like, fractions of a cent per round. It wouldn't matter if it's $5/oz or $0.10/oz it's still effectively nothing either way. If one was even the slightest bit better might as well.

I think what we forget is how many noshoots there are though. If you use and in turn clean your gun regularly then anything decent is fine and cheapness matters. But tons of people buy a gun and it sits around 11.99 months out of 12. Maybe some of the lube shit makes more sense then. That farm youtube did show there were differences in rust and such between oils over long periods. Kind of a frustrating thought though. Just fucking shoot more.

Also I think suppressors are an exception. Except for 22lr I don't clean them almost ever, they only need it after like 4000-10000 rounds. Shit is pretty built up at that point though. Feels reasonable it'll need something strong to soak in for a bit. Maybe I should buy an ultrasonic instead though?

>>64754550

I can’t believe it took a 30 minute video to say what we already knew, which is that 10mm Auto is the superior automatic handgun cartridge, and that only after having to water it and then .40 S&W down for the women, manlets, and fags in the FBI did they just settle on 9mm because there was no difference at that point. Amazing.
>But muh fire rate!
Literally doesn’t matter in a combat scenario, doubly so if your shots don’t actually land. Paul Harrell already established this in his 1986 Miami Dade shootout analysis.

Lift weights and carry 10mm, anons.

Because they have the money to run their own ballistics lab. Also, FBI HRT is effectively special operations and were with Delta to capture Maduro.

I don't know why anyone who knows anything about ballistics would even bother disagreeing with this vid. Reliable expansion with enough momentum to punch through bone and barriers and in a shootable cartridge like 9mm? /k/ is just full of fat retards and teenagers.

For reference the guy wouldn't say it on cam but recommended loads are:

Hornady critical duty 135gr
Speer Gold Dot 145gr (G2 or original)
And I suppose if you are carrying a sub 4" barrel 124gr +p Federal HST is also reliable

When the Geran/Shahed drones first appeared, I figured Russia would use them smartly in a classic SEAD/DEAD role: send waves of them to force Ukrainian IADS to light up radars and reveal positions, then follow up with VKS aircraft, with anti-radiation missiles to systematically dismantle those defenses.

Russia instead has chosen the most brain-dead and wasteful approach, by treating the Geran/Shaheds s as nothing more than slow, low-cost cruise missiles hurled directly at static infrastructure targets, while leaving the overwhelming majority of Ukraine's air defenses intact and free to keep operating.

They're banking entirely on brute-force volume and saturation to get a few through, completely abandoning any effort at SEAD/DEAD. But the thing is that they're not even achieving any kind of saturation effect since, the launches are scattered haphazardly across random cities, regions, and targets all over Ukraine that changes every night (some they they go after energy infrastructure, some other go after some depots, some others they try to hit some cities...), instead of making up their minds and concentrate them single high-value area, frontline sector, or even one major city at a time, and keep hitting them until achieving disruption or collapse. This is also precisely why so few targets are actually hit despite hundreds being launched every night, and so many of them are intercepted.

By contrast, even in the recent U.S. operation in Venezuela, the LUCAS drones (the American Shahed clones) were properly integrated into a coordinated SEAD/DEAD package.

>They're not diesel but gas or electric.
No heating usually means that there's no electricity too(soviet-style district heating plants also often do co-generation and act as important junctions of the grid) - if one is hit hard, it means everything's fucked in the area.
Gas is a no-go in newer apartments(and even late soviet ones) because it's not allowed to install gas line in a building taller than 9 floors because of safety, and all new apartment blocks are above this limit.
Gas "individual heating" in apartments is a thing, but mostly in towns where local heating company went bankrupt - otherwise there will be a lot of objections to you disconnecting yourself form theirs pipes. And it can't be done in a day.
>Many new apartments have diesel generators and central boilers.
Wasn't thought necessary with existing infrastructure. Especially generators - after blackouts of mid-90s, losing power for more than two or three hours per year was unthinkable. Why spend money on something you'll never really need?
>Diesel heating per apartment should be doable.
Yeah, seems the most reasonable and quick to set up.
