What are some good books to learn about military discipline, language, tract, and tradition? Doesn't matter if they're English or from other European countries. It really bothers me how contemporary western writers seem to be incapable of portraying these aspects in their own fiction, everyone acts like a dudebro teenager or some uncultured bum which seem completely at odds with the reality of personnel I met over the years.

Questions that don't deserve their own threadFree free to ask your dumbass questions that don't deserve their own thread right here so you don't kill a psyop or shill thread.My question: is Atlantic Firearms still having issues with their payment processor getting hacked? I want to buy some Bakelite mags from them and I need to know if I should use a one time card or not. Previous: >>65305441
Do piggyback red dot mounts for ACOGs and scope rings tilt downward slightly to allow for more adjustment on the dot like a 20MOA scope mount does? When I look through my dot on top of the TA02 it seems like I'm looking down at an angle. It's properly mounted and torqued.
>>65387101It's smaller and lighter. I use 30mm dots for "patrol" style rifles and the Micro sized dots for "entry" style rifles.
>>65384436Lasers on pistols are retarded and don't hold zero. Just buy a TLR-1.
>>65387101I forget where I read it, maybe I'm having a schizo moment, but the MR556 is recommended to be used with only low back pressure cans. CAT WB is a good option. There was a little drama around this I think but the Fireteam 556 is basically the same thing and a little cheaper.
>>65388929I think I heard the same thing, I'll look into the fireteam.>>65388679Gotcha. The T2 seems to be less than half the weight of the PRO.

What do we know of Ukraine's new stealth drone? It looks like it is jet-powered and has some minor resemblance to the Czech Nightray. The wing configuration looks like a low-observable design, but I don't know how useful that is with that tail.
>>65388969They had to mark their shit before the invasion to be able to differentiate their own forces from ukie forces. This is not the first time something like this happened. They also drew stripes during the 1968 Czechoslovakia invasion. This was a lesson from the 1956 invasion of Hungary, where soviets shot themselves often because both sides had the same tech. Well, they chose a number of signs (Z, V, O and Ø) for different groups of invading forces. The most popular Z and V got retroactively turned into propaganda symbols when the war bogged down and the regime needed something to rally the people around.
>>65388992It were chosen because of shapes which are easy to differentiate and easy to draw by a retarded conscript with a painbrush in 2 seconds. And which wouldn't be present in regular markings.
>>65389042>easy to draw

>>65389045>there are people on /arg/
It used to be if you wanted to put artillery rounds on target precisely, the gun crew needed to be within visual range. Firearms eventually had their effective range extended until they made this too dangerous for gun crews, but then the tank was invented: a tracked armored box that would protect the crew from small arms fire so they could engage frontline targets without being picked off.Now, however, reconnaisance drones enable an artillery crew to see their target without having to spot it in person. There is no reason artillery pieces need to be moved up to within visual range in an armored box to accurately engage targets, and the measures needed to protect them on the modern battlefield are uneconomical. You can simply leave the artillery well behind the front and direct their fire with modern surveillance equipment; there is no reason to make them run the gauntlet against every drone, mine and ATGM to enable them to spot targets in person with their Mk. 1 eyeball.
>>65387899Yep, droneniggers have no argument, they repeat the same set of disspelled cookie cutter memes over and over and deman they be taken seriously and argued against 10x in a row.

The 8th general nuclear thread on /k/ since 2024. Discuss military and civilian nuclear design and fuckups alike, or read translations of such
>>65384438>it's just a routine turbine trip. nothing to worry about
>>65384328INES was always hit or miss in regards to actual danger >Mayak is a level lower than Fukushima
>>65382099tailings are around 10-20% less radioactive then the ore they're from so diluted they are not that catastrophic, however you absolutely do not want them anywhere near anything you want to eat, since the decay products are of the "will rape your bones" variety Tailings aside they were also barrels there, also taken by the flood according to the eyewitnesses, supposedly filled with uranium concentrate, which i find hard to believe if not for "actually it was worse than we imagined" being a fucking running theme in every previous nuclear threadI wouldn't even be surprised if instead of concentrate the barrels contained something worse, would be par for the course in the soviet nuclear program
>>65386326>supposedly filled with uranium concentrateThat would be termed 'sub-optimal' and sadly par for the course given the state of the rest of the nonsense.I'm still hung up on the death figures of the mines. 30k peak occupancy and 30k deaths a year is staggering.
>>65366316It’s worse than it looks because we know exactly what was in the tank at Mayak and it wasn’t mostly gamma. It was like 2/3-4/5s beta radiation, 1/3-1/5s gamma radiation, and like less than one percent alpha. The actual dose they were getting was far higher and internal beta is nasty.
Why don't they send guys who fail BUDs into rates like EOD, Aircrew or Seabee instead of BMs, QMs or MAs? Why the fuck would some guy who want to be an under water knife fighting commando want to spend 6 years chipping rust and painting? Back in the day to join NSW you had to enlist as another rate and go through A School. Luttrel was a Corpsman(makes sense), Chris Kyle was intel, Axelson was a Sonar tech, and that manlet who burned down USS Bonhomme Richard was an un assigned seaman. Why don't they put all these guys into rates that require alot of weapons handling and land warfare OR just transfer them to the Marine Corps? And as someone who joined before they changed the rules why would you accept a contract for a shitty rate just to get a shot a BUDs knowing theres an 80% chance you would fail and be locked into a job you hate for 6 years?
>>65388334>if you fail, you get recycled back to unit you came fromReturn to unit is irrelevant in this conversation, because it mainly revolves around direct-to-SOF pipelines, where you sign a document to go to selection right out of boot camp, before you're ever assigned to a unit (ergo there is no unit to return you to, so you're assigned according to the needs of the Navy at the time)
>>65388010>hy don't they send guys who fail BUDs into rates like EOD, Aircrew or Seabee instead of BMs, QMs or MAs?Speak English doc, not jargon
>>65388010I just noticed the cringe rifles they're using-disgusting
>>65388010>Why the fuck would some guy who want to be an under water knife fighting commando want to spend 6 years chipping rust and painting?Because he wasn't good enough to be an underwater knife fighting commando. You can want anything in the world but if you don't meet the standards then you don't meet the standards.
>>65388010The navy doesnt care what you want. If you couldn't pass your end of the contract obligation, tough shit. You think the big blue has time to cater to everyone? It just spent a several hundred thousand dollars trying to train you, they're getting their money and manpower back one way or another. Maybe if you get friendly with the civilian in charge of posting, you can get a not so shit job like MA or become a plumber.

>>65388460>>65388395Acksually Russia is only 8th poorest HOWEVER due to their own bullshit (territorial claims) they have to have their per capita income averaged out with occupied Ukraine, Belarus and Transnistria which puts them comfortably in the same category as Albania. Also they lie about both income and capita, both of which are decreasing rapidly.
>>65388581>which puts them comfortably in the same category as AlbaniaI'm not sure Albanians would appreciate it (even if their country is a disorganized corrupt clusterfuck).
>>65382013that's not even minimum wage in moscow, they want to pay people to get their limbs blown off for that. Even the impoverished columbians were pissed
>>65388913Hey, they better watch it. We can probably cut that GDP by $500 per capita by removing all the NATO bases.

>>65388626I was browsing gunbroker and saw this gem, it was advertised as a 300blk from a mid tier manufacturer that had been mistreated. In cleaning off the gooey gold spraypaint on the bolt I noticed that it was chambered for 7.62x39, no big deal I have plenty of that, so I looked at my options for mags, then checked what was available for printing that would take mags I already had. Low and behold there was a model that took single stack ak mags so I printed it up to test. I may switch it up for an aluminum lower or modify a printed one to take standard ak mags, we'll see. Also need to get some shims for the handguard nut, it suffered some gangsta gunsmifin but the bolt looks good and the barrel is okay, if a bit too tiny.
