You haven't seriously thought up your own uniform, have you /k/?
>>64749504When is "at the time"?
I have. I was asked by a friend who was writing a book involving fictional countries in a pre WWI setting to draw up some uniforms.It was a lot of fun actually
>>64750401Pics?
>>64749326What yeah when i was like 7 or 8 i knew what I wanted to be.I had a robot suit with robot legs.Like a suit, a three piece suit, but it was robot. And i had robot legs.Now excuse yourself you're interrupting the chinese asmr i'm gling through a phase.
>>64749354They're explicitly not uniformWhen they're all uniform all the furfags will suddenly clamour to be normal
what's the point in hiring mercs who aren't at all familiar with your language, culture, or geography/climate?
>>64750337It's tradition.
>>647456071. mercs dying doesnt matter.2. they fight for money and then will leave.3. they dont give a shit about the population.mercs are great.
I found some africans on X debating the merits of it, like they get the equivalent of 2 years salary when signing up, most die though, maybe they think they families will get paid.
>>64745607The video says. They were probably sold promises of wealth, citizenship and a snowbunny fucktoy. In reality they get sent first into the meatgrinder. Disposables.
>>64745607They're not that dumb to know that they're being sent in as meatshields but they are banking on that if they survive those rubles could change their family's generational wealth.
Over the past century, technological changes have come about which would actually make the Ratte a viable platform.>miniaturization of nuclear reactors>miniaturization of nuclear warheads>lasers for defense against drones and missiles>improvements to computers for fire controlThere is no better time than now to build the Ratte.
>>64750278These would be so fucking raped by bomber planes.

Why aren't ballistic submarines the backbone of world navies? Why haven't surface ships been relegated to carrier protection and amphibious operations? Why not make SLBMs out of RIM-66s and Standard missiles and Tomahawks and ASROCs? If you want force projection why wouldn't the ambiguity of the presence of submarines be enough to scare your enemies?
>>64749559Surfacing just outside Russian territorial waters would have been a good show of force. Nearly sinking because you got in a traffic accident is not.
>>64749409Going back 80 years to find a counterexample only proves the point.
>>64741566I bet in the future we will have submarine carrier either drones only or planes too. The only issue is that they wouldn't be great for scouting since it would reveal their position and ruin their greatest strenght.Also submarine lack the presence of surface ship, how can you patrol and show force if it's all hidden? Maybe better for war but not as useful during peace.
>>64741566Something no-one has said yet: Submarines are inherently slow. They wall out much, much faster than surface ships. They need vastly more horsepower-per-knot and each extra knot takes exponentially more power. More power and/or speed = more noise unless you spend absolutely appalling amounts of money and even that won't save you after a while.Boomers are expensive as fuck. Only a handful of nations have ever built them. Subs that can surface to launch are a little bit easier to make, but lose their primary advantage. Naval reactors are even harder to make than a subsurface launch platform. Not only is a sub expensive as fuck to make, it's incredibly hard to maintain. Unlike a surface ship, you can't do a bodged patch job on a weak section of hull and make it home, and any one of dozens of systems failing is a death sentence rather than an embarassing limp home.>>64746693>Or join the USN and get drunk on toilet wineYou act like the good ol' boys can't make a proper fermentation lock, source a food-grade bucket, and build hidden stills in the engineering spaces.>bunkieEw, no, you have to smell his fucking feet every night. At least swap berthings. >>64749484Yes, because any evidence for that is classified higher than Minuteman design. Russkies are jumpy as shit about it, always have been.
>>64749484>There is no evidence we 24/7 track every Russian sub in the world.other than all the personal testimonials and memoirs by Cold War sub captains and crew and ops staff
Reloading generalMy press after sizing/depriming/cleaning primer pockets of over 6,000 pieces of .45 Auto brass.My die is an undersized die from EGW. They have Lee custom make dies .003" undersized to eliminate Glock bulge on brass. With my RCBS dies I had some rounds not fit in a match chamber.
>>64749884I learned that a scale doesnt matter, but the reloader should know a few points>the scale got tested with a calibration weight>the scale doesnt correct the input when small amounts are added slowly>the scale doesnt change its zero from repeated usage (like 20bullets...)I had a scale with all e being shit, that was hot load roulett :D
>>64749001That kind of scale also requires a really fucking serious table for it to work properly, typically a bigass granite or marble slab.
>>64750455>bigass granite or marble slab.Like a surface plate.
>>64738711Old manuals. I have a Lyman from 1951 and a belding and mull from 1959 that make mention of duplex loads for traditional black powder cartridges (ex. 45-70). They’re available on eBay
>>64750455Not needed, just something stable and not touching the scale and table while working.

Are living suicide bombs a viable strategy in an open war? I thought that suicide bombing was only good for terrorism at checkpoints/markets but not for a frontal assault to a fortified enemy position.Banzai charges barely worked...
>>64738607>pic>lure poor people with no futureNot just women, it's children/teenagers.The pitch is something like "come to russia to study in elite innovative tech school! learn real skills! for free!". Some kind of school for those kids actually exists there, but the trick is students have to fulfill some "practice quota"(building drones) or be expelled/have to pay.
>>64749095>>64748559

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b52tVlHc84Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason? the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land
>>64750611>mossbergs already have quick change barrelsSays the guy who invents a new boogeyman every time he sees a 7+1.
>>64750841>no I need to blast garbage at the dump I live in
>>64750572That's practically every single fucking pump shotgun on the market you dumb motherfucker.
>hey you know how there's two really good and perfected shotguns to choose from that you can buy anywhere for $199-399?>and they have huge aftermarket?>yeah let's copy them but make it cost $599
>>64751174you know remingshit went under right? it's just mossberg or turk/chinese shit or the used market at that price point I don't even think it's actually mossberg at that price point, it's maverick. the cheapest made in America mossbergs on PSA's store are $415 slug guns. the cheapest nonmav, 12 gauge non shockwave smooth bore mossberg on psa's website is $488. Granted I'd probably trust a mav 88 over turkshit
Russia has for the first time deployed new strike drones, the 'Geran-5' and 'Geran-4'.>Russian forces first used the new strike drone 'Geran-5' during attacks on Ukraine in early 2026, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry. The drone is a large jet-powered UAV with a classic aerodynamic design, differing from earlier models.>The 'Geran-5' has a length of about 6 meters and a wingspan of about 5.5 meters. It is equipped with a Chinese-made turbojet engine, capable of carrying a warhead weighing about 90 kg and hitting targets at a distance of up to 1,000–1,050 km. Its navigation system includes a 12-channel 'Comet' satellite system, a microcomputer-based tracker, and 3G/4G modems.>According to Ukrainian intelligence, the design of the 'Geran-5' contains elements similar to the Iranian drone Karrar. There are discussions about the possibility of launching this UAV from aircraft, such as the Su-25, and its potential equipping with 'air-to-air' missiles.>As for the 'Geran-4', it is known that it is an intermediate jet version between the early 'Geran' models and the new 'five'. According to preliminary data, this drone may have a warhead weighing about 50 kg, a speed of 350–500 km/h, a range of up to 950 km, and can also be launched from the Su-25.>Thus, the 'Geran-5' is a new jet-powered long-range strike UAV, comparable in its characteristics to a cruise missile, while the 'Geran-4' is considered its less powerful predecessor

Let me guess, you think your airforce needs more expensive higher performance aircraft.You could get 5 of these fucks and arm them for the price of an empty KR-67.

What's the coolest fictional sword?
Ugliest motherfucker ever, but cool to use.
>>64718147>tfw faggots are too young to know about soul calibur
>>64747167Variable swords were monomolecular wires rigidified with a stasis field. Non-stasis uses did exist but tended to be variations of the same theme: really thin wire is unthinkably strong, so use it to cut things. One variant was a set of guided bolas in space, which could not be destroyed quickly because of course superconductors do not melt even when bathed in lasers. (Sure, the whole wire "instantly" heats to an averaged temperature, but that should still be many times the melting point. Niven seemed to put a miraculous superconductor of heat in any setting he could.)

>>64748610Thank you, I had no intention of watching the video.>>64748303Honestly, if you own 1 of the handguns he mentioned and 1 of the long guns he mentioned, you are already prepared for any self-defense situation. Though, it's a pretty barebones list; only for someone who doesn't hunt, compete, practice long range, etc.

Because this is /k/ and he gave a loadout, you ORCA STACKS PEE PEE POO POO BOY.FUCKING nu/k/, can't even talk about guns without someone screeching about how mullet mcyoutube is somehow both an eceleb and a nobody, you can't even talk about the guns, you godless ccuntbubbles, why does no one want to talk about guns? It's all /pol/ this and A BLOO BLOO BLOO that and no one wants to talk about guns, they just want to fill their pants and cry like a schoolgirl looking at her first cock.I WANT TO TALK ABOUT GUNS YOU CUNT, TALK ABOUT GUNS OR FUCK OFF
>>64751180>I WANT TO TALK ABOUT GUNS YOU CUNT, TALK ABOUT GUNS OR FUCK OFFthen maybe you should have started a thread about guns without a bunch of eceleb faggotry
Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.
