Do flares and chaff even work anymore? Surely in this current year even the dumbest AI installed on a missile would be all like "LMAO, nice try faggot"?
>>62543007yes they work. why would you think they don't?you don't need a complete spoof of a missile seeker to make it miss it's intended target. often times speeds and kinetic energy demands are such even having a missile momentarily alter heading towards a decoy before reacquiring the actual target is enough to force it outside of it's lethal zone. there's plenty of real world examples of SAMs and air to air missiles coming extremely close to their target but they're just outside the range the fuze deems it should go off.
These things aren't just about tricking the missile. Chaff is there to outright block radar, and flares can be blindingly bright to IR cameras. Being blind is going to hurt the missiles accuracy no matter how smart its control logic is.
>>62543078>>62543334>(paraphrasing) new missiles don't give a shit about flares I know it has an imaging seeker but does anyone know why the -9x fired by a superbug at a su22 over syria a while ago bit on flares?
>>62543734I think preflaring still works, especially if you're shitting out tons of them and the missile decides to lock onto them instead of the real target from the get-go. https://youtu.be/ew5_0zJYC3w
>>62543734Pilot never mentioned anything about flares:>By then the Su-22 was in striking distance of friendly forces and it began to dive, releasing its weapons in the process, before making a climb out after the attack. Based on the rules of engagement that were briefed to the naval aviators, Mob locked the Su-22 up from behind with an AIM-9X Sidewinder and fired.>The missile zipped off the Hornet’s wing rail trailing smoke but quickly disappeared. It wasn’t clear why the missile failed to track the Su-22 or where it had gone. Mob quickly selected an AIM-120 AMRAAM and fired once again. He noted how long it took for the missile to fire off the Super Hornet’s “cheek” station located along the outer edges of its air intakes.Might have been a statistical dud 9X.
I bet when the drones arrive, they’ll just be chink EVs with wings fused on

Shotgun virgin here.Want to dip into shotguns and I'm thinking about an auto like a Mossberg 940 or Beretta 1301. They're more expensive than a pump, but other than cost is there any reason to get a pump instead of an auto?
>>62544487>Looking at the bead is why I missI get what he's saying here. When I'm on a hot streak of 8+ clays busted with the first shot of an O/U. "In the zone" or whatever, the bead(s) don't seem to matter. The main thing is focusing on the clay and how it's moving as to where to point and when to pull the trigger.When using the m4 I generally have the clay launcher set to just lob the clay slow and steep. With the optic, the sight picture while properly lined up has the clay halfway between the green circle and the frame of the optic

>>62521266You didn't refute him. Arguably he is a retard like you but if you take the time to insult someone at least provide evidence you are more knowledgeable.
>>62515486Half baked but pump for a shottie newb is good because you can actually watch the carrier/lifter work. Plus cheaper and learning to CONSTANTLY RELOAD and limitations and benefits of the platform are there.I do not own a semi, only pump (500). What is slug change-over like on a 930 or Benelli? Does 930 still need roll and extra loss?
I like Tetsubos but can't think of why I'd choose this over a baseball bat for my melee slot.Do they have redeeming qualities?
>>62540714Blackthorn is a traditional club wood too
>>625436331 on 1 mace gets mogged by reach, but it is a little more versatile
>>62539225>why I'd choose this over a baseball bat for my melee slot.Jury optics and giving your lawyer something to work with. A bat is by definition not a weapon so the prosecutor will have a tougher time making it look like you were out looking for trouble.
>>62539247Making a kanabo is actually pretty easy. Mine lasted a few years smashing shit before I had to retire her.
>>62539225>Do they have redeeming qualities?The heavier that blunt weapon is, the more momentum when you swing. Real Tetsubos were longer and heavier than a bat is.

>>62542835A thing that will never exist but would be cool would be .400 corbon but a .460 rowland case necked to .40 with those pressures instead of .45 acp with its low pressure. Especially from a 10" barrel in a smg or something
>>62542835Did anyone make a .357 sig smg.I remember thinking that'd be the witch's tits in like 2014
I note that I'm talking about .357 magnum in leverguns and revolvers, not .357 SIGI own a magnum but not the shitty autoloading copy>>62542986should be trivial to convert an FGC-9 to it

>>62493816Is a good quality 18x enough for 6.5 PRC
>>62544560Is this in the context of using what you've got vs replacing, or a new purchase? How much mag you need depends on what range you're going for and under what conditions, not the cartridge (beyond that dictating your reasonable max range of course). IIRC 6.5 PRC is effectively 6.5 CM Magnum, a standardization/commercialization of 6.5-284. Should be able to push it nearly a mile in principle, lots of mountain hunters seemed pretty positive about it. At that kind of range I think 18x would leave you wanting more. On the other hand if you got it more for the flatter shooting and less drift at shorter ranges, like 700-1k, 18x is certainly ok if you've got it (or have a good deal lined up).However if this is a new purchase either way, then you won't go wrong with more mag particularly for a build with legs like that. You don't really want to be spending all your time in the top 1/4 mag of your scope, where fov shrinks and sometimes transmission, you want that to be just when you need it. I'd go with something in the 20s upper end.
>>62544560It's not enough for a .22.

>>62534774I prefer to see it as the inevitability of violence. All that lives will be in conflict, be it against other beasts, themselves, the world, even against the immutable laws of physics that bind this reality together. And the guns, much like our attempts at destroying our innate desire for conflict, ignore destruction and still persist mostly intact, made stronger through trying to rid ourselves of them. We shouldn't fear violence, because for as monolithic as it is it's merely another facet of being alive

Is this it?Do we finally have something cool to replace .22LR?https://www.americanhunter.org/content/review-winchester-21-sharp/
>>62544511>>62544566Also you can carry or store hundreds of rounds in small space with little weight. You can pack 25+ rounds of .22lr in the same space as five 12 gauge shells.Best to have both though.
>>62544855>.25 ACPNot that you are advocating it but literally why?.22 WM or .32 ACP with solids, preferably flat nose/wadcutter.
>>62543938Yeah, I'm going to throw out $5000 worth of .22 guns and spend $12,000 to replace them with the latest meme boolit.Not.
>>62544882I don't see the point of either of those cartridges when .22lr and 9mm exist and are much cheaper. I don't see the point of a centerfire .22lr either, it wouldn't be cheap and then you might as well go with 9mm or .223.I like meme cartridges when it lets you fit a certain bullet or amount of muzzle energy or whatever into a specific packaging constraint, for example I really like .20 Vartarg and 7.5 FK, but most fudd cartridges like .22 WMR aren't interesting, they're just old and outdated and you might as well use .22lr, 9mm, .223, .308, or 12ga depending on what particular deprecated cartridge you're looking at.
>>62544893how do you even spend $5k on .22LR guns

what's stopping ukraine from just reverse engineering long range weapons and using those without having to ask permission? >no silly it is not the atacms, we call this missile the borscht we invented it ourselves
>>62540250>what's stopping ukraine from just reverse engineering long range weaponsThose weapons need satellites. Only Nato can used those weapons.
>>62540250They already had long range missiles like Tochka-U. Why should they scale back the production of those just to try and reverse engineer western missiles they recieve for free (which would be of lower quality than the western ones, arguably at the same level of Tochka-U), with the added risk of the west getting all pissy wissy and reducing deliveries of all weapons systems?
