>>64963815Things are gonna blow up real good when the 0101.07 CPL finally... finally... finally... eventually... possibly... releases.It exists and companies are getting armor listed on it, but it's not a public document until enough products are listed for the NIJ to feel like cops are getting a non-premature list.There's still a bet riding from 2024 on whether Adept will actually get their stuff certified or not. I'm thinking they won't but I do hope I'm wrong. Anyone want to bet if Gilliam will get his plates certed? Model 1023 would be looking mighty fine right now if it wasn't a wildcard.

>>64965866You're the one making off topic posts about another board and therefore are part of the cancer killing this board. Talk about weapons or get the fuck out, faggot
>>64965837Mmh /pol/ was always pro-zog.
>>64965283Iran can only maintain legitimacy if it can visibly threaten its enemies. It doesn't have the industrial base to build aircraft that can do that because modern aircraft require a diversified and multi-talented economy. Land invasion is out of the question since they have no Navy to deploy those forces and the overland route will get them bombed into oblivion long before they get anywhere beyond the border with Iraq.Rockets (and cruise missles, to a lesser extent) represent the only credible direct threat Iran can make against Israel and the United States. The tyranny of the rocket equation means that they are a hideously inefficient use of resources (costing a sum on the order of a cheapish fighter jet to drop the equivalent of a single JDAM somewhere in a ~500 meter vicinity of their target) but that is still a better result than buying said cheap fighter jet and strapping that payload as a bomb, because the jet's going to get intercepted long before it gets anywhere close. It's the same logic that caused Japan to adopt Kamikaze tactics and caused Germany to waste money on the V2 - when it's the only thing that gets results, however small, it's what gets the budget.
How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
>>64966756>Transferring Unregistered Machinegun Conversion DevicesFunny, that's not the same as possessing a machinegun is it? Are you even trying?
>>64966756>>64966775Okay I'll be honest I didn't think you'd struggle this hard. There are examples of people being convicted for simple possession per 922(o), even pretty recently. I was expecting you to whip one out so I could sperg out about it but you've really missed the mark. Somebody help this guy.
>>64966775How can you transfer something you don't own?
>>64966822I see, you're totally unfamiliar with that case you just cited.
>>64947191I made some changes.For the bolt action, now the firing pin is inside the bolt, and the middle part which houses firing pin spring is made of wood (it can be made out of metal but working with wood is easier).Only bolt handle with locking lugs can spin, the rest of the bolt only moves forward and backward.It has a safety mechanism, firing pin is retracted unless bolt is fully locked to prevent it from becoming an accidental blowback.The locking lugs might seem to be too weak, but if that's the case i can make them thicker and thicker until they finally will be enough (it will only cause the bolt and the gun to get a bit longer)As for the blowback, it works the same as before but now i added one large tube and 6 lbs of additional weight to the bolt. You are supposed to fire it like a rocket launcher with sights on the side of the gun. From my calculations, it won't be bigger or heavier than a 50 BMG Barret so it still should be usable.Even if it isn't, i will still build it because it will be cool to have one even if it's just a non-working prototype.As for my next design, it will probably be a double barrel break-action shotgun so it should be much easier/safer to make.
I’ve been invited to participate in a high level wargame based on current events, where I’ll be roleplaying as the Iranian team starting two weeks prior to the initial airstrikes.We are using a heavily modified version of GMT’s Next War: Iran, which includes Israel and updated modern equipment. The simulation also features a significant political strategy component.Given the asymmetric nature of the conflict, the scenario feels quite fucked. Beyond the initial setup, do you have any specific recommendations for Iranian grand strategy or political maneuvering in this system? I’m looking for ways to maximize my leverage before the kinetic phase begins and any tricks that can come up to your mind.It frankly looks kind of hopeless.
>>64967758Russia and China if they want can supply via Turkmenistan and all the US can do is try and cajole and threaten Turkmenistan, but it's not like we have a lot of leverage points. This is not as easy or as plentiful as by sea, and Iran's mountainous nature is detrimental but we're talking cheap home depot drones and the like rather than heavy scud missiles. We are basically fighting the Taliban except we don't have an allied government occupying their territory, we don't have boots on the ground (yet lol) and instead of being locked away in the hills of the Hindu Kush the Taliban is able to control a vital energy conduit and are so threatening that we are literally AFRAID TO SEND OUR NAVY IN RIGHT NOW TO CONVOY RUN IT. Because we know it would be a disaster. And our advice to the oil shippers is just>lol do it faggot>SERPENTINE! SERPENTINE>Some of you will make it!It's what >>64967837 said. Yuge mess.
>>64952834Hi Anon,Assuming this is real, how did you get into the position to play one of these war games, I'd much rather be on the organising/developing side but there seems to be very little on how to manage that aside from be a high up in the military/policy makingAny tips would be much appreciated>TQOffer all your oil to the chinese for small arms and anti armour weapons, completely disperse your military into small cells capable of producing their own drones and make the american attempt at a beach head to secure the straight an absolute miserySkip pissrael and dump everything into scaring the shipping and insurance companies by hitting ports and onloading points, the more you can squeeze the rest of the world financially the sooner the americans have to try and secure a beachhead which can be hopefully easier pickings for crushing support with casualties
>>64967871Russia can (and does) supply Iran directly via the Caspian.
>>64952834Do basically everything they're doing right now.Systematically demolish radars and missile defenses, target military infrastructure, mine the strait.>the scenario feels quite fuckedFor Iran? There's a reason the US hasn't wanted to do this for 40 years. Chill, bombard, and drone. Shoot anything that comes to clear the mines in the strait.The biggest thing to be prepared for is that wargamers are typically far more aggressive and tolerant of extreme losses than real commanders, and the impact on global commodity markets will probably be understated by the system.
>>64967875He's a fat old boomer with a military fetish taking a FEMA online class and acting like the TTX where you deploy some firetrucks is a wargame.
Last thread created 02/12 and archived so I guess someone needs to make a new one.Last thread recap:>The wonder steel of 30 years ago is the Chinese crap of today javascript:quote('64892533');>Anon tests his knives for us javascript:quote('64890521');>Usual discussion about Microtech ft. MT fag, the industry, and Benchmade>Moras exist, people buy them, that's itDiscussion question: what is your favorite grip material? Do you enjoy stacked leather? Wood? What about machine knurling on steel? That looks cool, right? How about polymers and rubberized textures. What is the Magpul MOE+ grip of Knives?
>>64967816> UDT also kinda sucked with no way to lock the blade Yeah, I really do hope Tony makes a version with a rear lock of some sort, like Benchmades'. Would carry mine a lot more. >>64967860Para2/3. Manix has a different action but sized differently.
Why isn't this "beaver" style skinning knife more popular? Seems pretty useful for both heavier tasks like deer but also useful for fish you'd generally skin rather than descale like halibut or catfish. It seems like basically a modern fish slicing knife you can reasonably pack with you.
>>64967566I don’t have a proper workspace but I want to handle some puukko blades and make leather pocket sheaths for them. I think I have a birch tree out front that needs to be turned into handles.
>>64967471>What is the Magpul MOE+ grip of Knives?Peltonen
>>64967719Thanks anon. It doesn't have any real sentimental value to me. Might sell it one day. I think it has some small rust spots on the guard prongs and in the handle knurling. Any idea how to remove that?
I've been thinking how much commissioning a Dictator from Blue Swat would cost, and which caliber to run it with without blowing up in my face.What fictional guns would you like to turn into an actual firearm?
Some kind of beam that can transform people into something else.
Would fictional accessories/modifications sort? Be pretty fuckin rad if I could get something like this for the Deagle.
>>64962442Aren't these full rail extended barrels existing for real Desert Eagles?
How would Brazil fare in a war against a first world country?
>>64967355That's not true. Besides the majority of the world's supply of oxygen is actually produced by algae in the oceans, most of the O2 produced in the Amazon jungle is consumed by its own plants. Also, if we torched the Amazon jungle, our country would turn into a desert within 5 years at the longest, the Amazon jungle pretty much regulates almost the entirety of rains for the rest of the country.
>>64968067microscopic algae, I mean to say
>>64967777If some partisans are in a building by the river with some ATGMs you are gonna have a bad day. Not saying they will sink a CVN but they will have enormously outsize effect and it will be because you just handed it to them tied up in a bow.
>>64967777You most definitely cannot sail a CVN or a Amphibious Assault Ship towards Manaus.
>>64968039Power projection =/= Contested OccupationUK and France clearly have power projection. So does China, India, Italy, and even Iran up until a few weeks ago. Its merely a matter of how much.
the tech arms race of this war is kinda amazing i predicted this 1y ago and now there's video
>>64952081Is the next evolution ninjitsu smoke bombs as a laser countermeasure?
>>64952292>laser drone ahead and the laser drone sweeps the road with a high power laser neutralizing any drones on the roadWon't the signal be restored the moment the laser interference ceases?
>>64952493>If you can shoot a blinding laser at someone, you can just shoot them insteadA (permanently) blinding laser has lower power requirements than a burning laser. Dazzling lasers already exist in warfare and riot control and don't have hague convention legal problems.
>>64966266i dont think so, digital radio modules are designed with 'noisy' environments in mind and have lots of safeguards and mechanisms to re-acquire the signal after a noise spike. fiber optic modules are designed for clean data center environments to maximize speed and minimize latency with 0 safeguards my guess is this either causes permanent damage to some components (photodiode,amplifier...) or jams them in a way that requires them to be fully turned off and on again to work. and you cant power cycle a remote fiber optic drone
>>64966266Not if the receiver module burned out.
Regardless of whether gunpowder was ever invented or not, knights were still on their way out. Plate armor had made mass producing armor cheap and quick, and enabled poor peasants to be armed with armor nearly on par with that of knights, with kings able to order several thousand sets of plate armor built, thus centralizing power under the kind and reducing the importance of knights (whose largest virtue had been owning enough land and wealth to afford good armor before). Likewise, the ability to cheaply equip his own troops with state-owned armor allowed unit formations of much higher disciplinary standards than seen before.Even if gunpowder didn't exist, pike and shot would've become the new meta. Just with high-power crossbows and even more plate armor than before.
Some of his rape-obsessed spam posts are even more nonsensical than the rest.
>>64960207China developed the first cannon and handgonne (hand cannon) and had the metallurgy for it, cast iron, wrought iron and bronze.
>>64945760>50 years later, after Swedes literally reformed their army in the partial Polish modelIncluding lancers?
>>64945760>You brought claim that a single reiter can kill multiple opponents because he has multiple firearms, but a lancer can kill only one, which frankly, is silly. The idea of a lance skewering multiple armoured men is far more silly than a guy with two guns shooting two people>I brought up that lances alone can kill kill more people as some random fun trivia factAnd like many trivia facts it's wrong.>I can also can call you a retard, because trampling alone can kill more peopleNothing stops a cuirassier from driving forwards after shooting, which is what they did by the late 16th century. Charge the enemy, fire at point blank range to punch holes in the enemy formation, and switch to your sword.nd nothing stops lancers for carrying guns too, as in the very case of Polish hussars
>>64885824>Armour + gunsOoooooh yeaaaaah
If Greece and Turkey got into a war today who would win? And what weapons would be used
Turks are so proud of Turkey yet they will never, never never, live in Turkey.
>>64962048>It didn't happen but they deserved it.
>>64962074Lame
>>64947942When Turkey is able to intercept ballistic missiles on its own again, maybe then they will stand a chance against Greece. Turkey is such a paper tiger.
>>64967421They arent able to on their own?
Is the P365 as good as they say It Is?If not, then what could be better?
>>64965684>Unless you have an opticfag detected
>>64959099>Constant jams with all ammo types. Serious ones too, like failure to extract and double feeds. None were quick fixes to get back to shooting. And when I looked online I wasn't alone, it was shockingly common.How many rounds did you put through it and what kind?You should never shoot less than 147gr for the first 500 round with a CC9. Then you can drop down to 124gr. They have to be broken in properly. CC9 is my daily carry. Put a few thousand rounds through it already. Never once had an issue.

>>64965734NTA, but subcompacts have a very small iron sight radius, so they give you a lot less feedback on how much you are throwing off your aim. I got started with a subcompact carry gun, and I can definitely vouch for my aim getting better a lot faster when I got a target pistol, and again when I got a cheap red dot to try out on the target pistol - just because both changes gave me much more clear feedback on how little muscle movements were fucking up my aim, so I could train them out in practice.
Could China secretly sell jets to Russia, and just repaint them?Russia gets jets, China gets plausible deniability, and practical in field test cases to see if home production is good enough.
>>64967929Russia doesn't have the ISR to utilize anything they get. From the ground up they don't have comms, command structure, logistics, personnel, to make use of any Chinese gear. If they did the massive aid they got from NK and Iran when Ukraine was at its weakest wouldve been decisive. Truth is Russia just has a poor military.
>>64967929Could they? Yes. Would they? No, because they'd sooner burn Bejing to ash then let any one of their planes get destroyed in the field and take the status hit
>>64967929>Could China sellYes>Could Russia buySORRY PUTIN, I DON'T GIVE CREDIT.COME BACK WHEN YOU'RE A LITTLEMMMMRICHER
>>64967929>First flight: 1998>Introduction: 1998Why are they like this?
>>64968002>why are they flying a license produced copy of a fighter that has been in service for 15 years in the same year
Why flying lawn mowers instead of just a pulsejet flying bomb? It isn`t more expensive or complicate to built.
>>64966252>It is worse than a naturally aspirated gasoline engine with a propeller.Pulse jets are inefficient fuel hogs, that's true. But they're dirt cheap and simple to make. And they're still jet engines with enough thrust and exhaust velocity to outrun all but the fastest piston-engined prop-driven aircraft.V1s were janky as fuck, despite this, the allies only had a few models of planes fast enough to catch up with these things and take them down, and most of those planes were specially modified to achieve maximum top speed, sacrificing a bunch of features just to go faster.
Logically there should be three kinds of strike drone: (1) long range prop powered drones that are built with wood and lawnmower engines, that are GPS guided and can be mass launched for dirt cheap against strategic targets, (2) more expensive long range jet drones that have more advanced active guidance (ie basically cruise missiles) and used with the above in combination against strategic targets, and 3) Pulse jet drones that are shorter ranged, have active guidance (perhaps even AI terminal guidance), but are cheap enough to be used as a tactical weapon closer to the front line. Also, loud and hot enough to be used as a decoy for the shorter-ranged strategic drone strikes.
>>64966634so if drone interceptors become other piston drones, pulse jets drones might beat the piston interceptors?
>>64963777Economies of scale. You can buy lawnmower parts off the open market but pulsejets would need to be specially manufactured.
>>64967965Those are special light weight engines, they aren`t cheap given they have a higher power-to-weight ratio. You aren`t buy from Alibaba. While Pulsejet can be produce in any shop.
