>>64698955I’want Kratos to show the actual Thanatos article and not just a render since it’s ostensibly been flying two years now. Almost certain we’ll see a lot of new renders and possibly articles for the CCA Increment two. M1E3 is a certainty since they have a prototype with more on the way. AIM-260 beyond a render is possible, but they’ve been playing that close to the chest. Ideally we see an F/A-XX award, since delaying it much longer would mean they would probably have to rerun the competition. Even if they slow roll it it’s kinda shit or get off the pot at this point. More B-21 airframes as the test campaign advances and it nears IOC. Hopium is we see a F-47 near the very end of the year or early 2027 as the first proper airframe is in production now.
I love 7mm-08 and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
>>64699884Do you guys think it could be used as a sniper round?
>>64701162there is no functional difference between a marksman round and a hunting roundyes, 7mm-08 is fairly ideal for engagements on medium game out to 600 or 700 yards
>>647011627.62x51 is used as a sniper round6.5CM is the new hot sniper round7mm-08 is like right in the middle of those 2so yes
If I ever wanted to upgrade to a round that shoots farther and flatter than a 7mm-08, is an increase in recoil going to be a naturally occurring/no avoiding thing?
>>64701468you can, of course, sacrifice terminal ballistics by necking it down even fartherthe 6mm short action cartridge (.243 Winchester) is a laser beam for example but you're shooting lighter, smaller projectiles6.5mm Creedmore is another intermediate rung in that ladderand going farther than 7mm-08 can take you is beyond the abilities and price range of most people, lolbut to answer your question:short answer yes it's unavoidablelong answer no, but not without sacrificing hitting power
I'll start; Mossberg Patriot Everyone shit talked this rifle even though it's perfectly functional, accurate and one of the better looking budget guns
>>64698186Nice inexpensive rifle, I hope they start importing them to my country, we have a ton of savages and patriots for sale but no rugers which is a shame
>>64698169>yurothirdies share walls with their neighbors because they are too poor for free standing buildings and also they lost WWI and WWII
>>64698186gonna be my next rifle, cause I get looked funny at when I go out hunting with my AR
>>64692883>Learn to readThe irony here is absolutely staggering
I couldn't think of any gun being underrated because there's likely tons of fanboys for all kinds of pistols and rifles But why do people give a shit about moa? Like really, most shooters use shorter ranges and most hunting is done on a relatively short to medium range. I don't shoot paper targets because it's boring, I shoot steel plates at 100 and 200 meters and the only time I miss is when it's my fault. Just get a rifle that looks good to you, is mechanically functional and reliable and that the round has enough power to kill an animal if you're hunting with it, that's all
The brits did It with during WW2 to fight off German subs and Luftwaffe raiding their merchant ships, called CAM (Catapult Assisted Merchantmen, ship) and MAC (Merchant Aircraft Carriers): https://youtu.be/i6BqpInpZ2wSo nowadays with Steam and Electromagnetic catapults and CAA/UCAVs wouldn't that be much easier?
>>64698023>What if the sole purpose of your converted cargo ship is to maximize damage onto enemy commerce?Basically a one-and-done attack because every vessel that's even remotely suspicious will start getting blown out of the water without foreplay to try to take the sting out of global trade cratering in the background. A pack of dune coons with hand-me-downs taking potshots at specific vessels caused a significant chunk of global shipping to detour all the way around Africa like it was the 1850s; what do you think freezing the entire Pacific would do?>what if you had the means to sink a huge number of Chinese ships in the Pacific, like 10% or more of global trade?That already exists and it's called a carrier strike group. Merchant vessels are not warships, full stop.
Yeah
>>64696289Aren't they completely obsolete now that F35-Cs are around in large numbers?I can't imagine they are any cheaper to maintain either, given their age.
better to just turn them into cheap arsenal ships nowadays.
>>64695479The chinks actually made a modern day CAM ship lmao!
name a more kino theatre
Industrial warfare in a tropical paradise is quite a dichotomy.
>>64700942Did the Chinese really just march Napoleon style into entrenched western positions? God it would have been so much fun to have been an M1919 gunner in that war.
>>64700960yes. they did many smaller platoon sized probing attacks but would often do company sized "human wave" attacksthere are accounts of M16 quad .50 cal halftracks, M19 dual 40 bofors AA vehicles directly firing in crowds of chinese soldiers.
>>64700521Just a bunch of lads having a jolly good time.

I almost got hit by a mortar because some fuckass kids were shooting them like rocket launchers. Terrible start to ‘26
Does every infantryman get one grenade, or are some not given one?
>>64701358Its going to vary based on unit SOPs, but generally everybody is required to carry two, or maybe four.
>>64701358You don't give any to someone who throw it short
>>64701358in peacetime they do shit like >>64701380 but the second you go to war the SOPs go to>give everyone as many as they can carryUkraine currently recommends about 10 grenades per grunt

Post some cool stuff.
>>64696156Draftsman here. This drawing here is awful, it's very hard to read, but the wealth of information in it is amazing.
>>64700758Why is it bad?
>>64701077Oh nvm I'm a idiot I reread it
>>64700758I'm guessing it's more for checking CNC'd dimensions than being actually used for machining but yeah it's horrible to read.
>>64700133very nice thank you fren
What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
>>64700301I personally don't like the beavertail so fatties can keep the Gen 6
>>64701322Can always just take some sandpaper or a dremel and reduce it. I do think it was a dumb idea to make it a part of the frame and not leave it as back strap option though. A lot of the changes they did with the gen 6 along with discontinuing literally everything before gen 6 was a dumb move.
>>64701364>I do think it was a dumb idea to make it a part of the frame and not leave it as back strap option though.Less dumb and more completely incomprehensible
>>64701198>I take it that's the Ball M1152 from Lake CityM1152 should be hitting 1300, it's sold as Winchester Service Grade and has distinctive flat points versus the roundnose M882 and NATO loads.

What's the minimum standard to train to if you are going to carry? I am not talking SOF, I am not talking some mercenary company standards. Just something that a person can't do after 50 rounds, but 100% of people can do after 3-6 months. Think 2 plate bench / 3 plate deadlift.I am guessing it's 2 rounds on target from rest or holster in x time. What's that x?What's the best way to train for it?
>>64699329>>64699355>>64700306>>64700418>>647004870/10 bait. Need to add you were forced into conversion therapy for cis family not accepting you came out as trans
>>64697534You're a fucking retard. Unless you're literally a USPSA Grand Master you aren't skilled enough with your dominant hand to 'train' shooting a pistol with your left hand. There is literally no situation ever where you would have to do that. >but what if I get shot in my right index finger?Post a webm of you drawing from concealment and shooting a sub-second bill drill at 100m, all alphas. Otherwise shut the fuck up.>>64698024>Get a mantis or similar dry fire systemI bet you're the guy at the gym who walks on the treadmill with an elevation mask and a 5.11 tactec weight vest but can't run a 20min 5km
>>64701075Look at this faggot who doesn't remember the 90s.
>>64701207Not all of us were gay and went to pray away the gay camps like you did, nigger faggot.
>>64698024What is the best way to carry and draw a dagger with your off hand?
>the Army wasn't okay with Forrest Gump being a dumbass>but the Marines were
>>64696312I think he’s talking about base ASVAB percentile score. Every branch calculates their skill sets a literally differently (Air Force has their MAGE acronym, freakin’ nerds) but he’s not wrong in saying that the actual percentile assigned to you by the ASVAB that the Army excepts before a waiver is lower than the Marines; 31st for the Army and Air Force, 35th for Navy and Marines, and Space Force coming in with 46th as the minimum bin (before waivers). Granted, the ASVAB isn’t the best indicator of someone’s aptitude for a job but it’s good for a general baseline and filter.
>>64698165if i recall correctly, the japanese stalled their attack because they were in awe of their pure ballsy/retarded behavior, then reinforcements arrived and killed the japanese to the last man
>>64694301>muh Gump>to stupid to be racist because he doesn't know niggers are dumb>falls into wealth>cheerful because he believes everything he is told while being perceived to be an outlier>magical retard who secretly has skills no retard actually has, "you can't just euthanize all the living tatters what if one was a Gump or Hawking(not born a cripple btw)">forgives whores with AIDS who cuckold him>"I lived through X Event"Of course the crayon-eaters supported " The Platonic Form of the Boomer: The Motion Picture".
>>64694301>absolute dingus>nice guy>does an alright job>wants to do the right thing>follows instructions well enough>also get to show off your branch looking coolHonestly not the worst choice.
>>64696142>"even a retard can be made into a competent marine, apply today"I feel like this is what marines believe. You can be brick stupid but if you're tough and brave they can make a highly effective weapon out of you.
Speech: http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/5ceed4f1eb2058145a9bbbc60fcf07dd.kcmsftl;rd: Basically they want a nuclear sub fleet and are building a Blue Water navy, new surface ships explicitly referred to as 'Attack Destroyers'1/4: It is large.
>>64700055>How funny would it be if NORK subs were actually better than west taiwan subs?The answer, Norktard, would be that it would be hilarious.Of course the reason it would be hilarious is that it is so improbable.There's every reason to believe that Chinese subs are quite decent. They've had some incidents but that's a normal part of submarine ownership.
>>64700278>There's every reason to believe that Chinese subs are quite decent.RorRmaoTheir acoustic signature is on par with trawlers to the point that blending in with merchant and fishers is more an effective strategy than attempting to do better sound silencing
>>64700278>>64700593Current Chinese submarines aren't so good in terms of quieting, but there's no reason to think that they can't or won't improve. They are receiving assistance from the Russians who are good at building submarines, even if they're not quite as good as us, and they are developing technologies like pumpjet propulsion. >>64700055>West TaiwanTaiwan is the delegitimizing term. They're the Republic of China. To say "West Taiwan" in that context doesn't make a lot of sense.
>>64700278That isn't me you are responding to, i assume that it will be noisy. The one that sank the Cheonan most likely was resting on the ocean floor at the edge of a shelf, Nork submarine stealth is normally based on clever lurking not being quiet while underway.

Saudi Arabia released footage captured using Chinese CH-5 drones of UAE loading MRAPs and other tactical vehicles onto ferry ships destined for Yemen:https://x.com/i/status/2005824068096786491
>>64696914This is one of my favourite cognitive dissonances. The leftists always complain about drawn borders but apparently that's not an issue when Europeans are forced to live with Near East muslims in their own countries.
>>64698740>not exactly earth shattering dude they burned their new Toyota pickups that is the true Yemeni gold, I'm not even joking. Burned the good stuff and ignored the MRAP junk. Pain.
>>64696914>most of those lines were already drawn up by the Ottomon Empire
>>64698773You reap what your colonial ancestors sowed. It sucks, but them the breaks. Stop meddling where you're not wanted and you'll break the cycle.
>>64698734>>64698740It’s a shame the Emirati’s pussied out, a Saudi vs UAE war would be a masterclass in retard warfare
What’s the best gun for hunting polar bears?
>>64678265.416 Ruger. fuck 12ga
>>64693492Maybe they should have adopted the Ruger instead. Comparing the two, I think there's a strong case for the Ruger
>>64678265I heard years ago that the Inuits that actually hunt Polar Bears use AR-15's. Hence, .223Win/5.56mm ammo.
>>64693479Immediately came to my mind too
>>64678265What these guys had was probably fine so any modern developments are probably better than that. Doesn't count if you're fighting a supernaturally charged man-bear (pig optional)
