It used to be popular among SOF because>subsonic>stopping power (allegedly)>doesn't go through bodiesBut out of all subsonic rounds the .45 ACP is also the loudest. In most practical cases the gun needs to be larger or you'll have less rounds. And since nowadays we have 9x19 rounds that come in all flavors, subsonic, high velocity, heavy, light, HP, standard FMJ, etc.https://youtu.be/hqQB17_aSsEWhat is the argument for .45 ACP in 2024?

>>61601373inb4 someone brings up USNS Card.
>>61604544We never committed to the level of engagement that would have been necessary to win.A unequivocal victory by military force was never our aim. We did not, at any point, seek to invade and subdue the north thus ending the war in victory.We sought to maintain the status quo antebellum through a negotiated peace won by attrition and bombing. A plan which relies on the co-operation of the enemy, since if they are willing to take the bombing and keep feeding meat to the grinder while we are unwilling to invade and destroy them they win by default.They beat America in a contest of political will, they were willing to send hundreds of thousands of young men into fiery death and have their infrastructure bombed to dust to have their way in Vietnam, we were not willing to spend the lives on an invasion and potential escalation and we were unwilling to engage in the genocidal bombing campaigns necessary to force capitulation. But we never set out to win militarily it was always a political exercise, us asking "How many men are you willing to lose for this" and then answering "All of them".We expected that after a couple years of American forces mowing down NVA and VC they'd give up but we profoundly misunderstood their commitment to the war and their willing to spend blood on unification. They did not win a contest off arms, they answered our contest of wills with an endless tide of men and before they ran out of men and will we ran out of political tolerance for the war at home, largely because of the draft.I think if the US hadn't used the draft support for the war would have been much more sure and the anti war movement wouldn't have gained nearly the support it did. Americans don't actually give a shit about our money being wasted fighting wars on the other side of the world but we hate to hear about Americans dying. We tolerated the GWOT for two decades, because there was no draft, just volunteers.

Rovenki, Luhansk region. There have just been three cluster arrivals at the local oil depot. Consequences on video.
>>61603582It looks like judging by the fire color and shape and explosion that's storing UDMH. Which is utterly hilarious. It's liquid rocket fuel Russians use. When it burns it's very red and orange and comes out in waves. The uks hit some things with liquid rocket fuel for sure maybe some regular. That's UDMH fire no doubt.id recognize it anywhere.

>>61604162Remember that one kid who ended up having to take physical delivery of some ungodly number of barrels to his apartment because he wanted to gamble with the big boys when the price of oil was returning from whence it came? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
>>61604461They imagined another promise from the US and expect it to be held to the letter even though they don't even hold to binding treaties. Just like the imaginary promise to not expand NATO even if Russia starts being aggressive.
>>61605187>That is exactly how old oil wells - such as the ones Russia has - workThat's even more of a lie, old oil wells or new ones need to produce oil constantly until they dry out, shutting them down involves crippling them in semi-permanent ways that need reconstruction. Why you decided to get all confident on this nonsense is anyone's guess.I know you need attention, but come the fuck on. Normal weight people don't do this.

Autistic pellet rifle discussions part 2Previous: >>61449656
Ive never owned an air rifle besides and old break barrel slug gun from the 70s but have been getting a bush rat explosion and my dogs dont get nearly enough of them. Any recommendations for one of these semi auto mag fed air rifles? Im going to beat it up to hell and back so doesn't have to be nice, cheaper and good enough is better.
>>61600046I'd reccomend a bolt or lever pcp, preferably used so can stay between 150-300. It'll be much easier on the budget than a semi and you can still have a magazine and decent rate of fire and power. If budget isn't a big deal could check out stuff like aea sf, marauder semi, hatsan semis, huben, and other options. There's alot more choices imo in bolts/levers in a more affordable price range that will do what you need. I reccomend the pcp over co2, easier to keep always ready and very consistent shots, high power. Depending on your needs there may be some bolt pcps for as little as 170$ that may fit the bill for you. As always with ANY airgun, please read other user reviews of any given model on air gun forums, store reviews, etc.

>>61577846One of the most painful things is that alien life is practically guaranteed not to look like this. It's more likely to be silicon-based creatures that live in far-below-freezing temps that would simultaneously melt and suffocate in our atmosphere (and you would freeze solid instantly in theirs), and they'd look like something you wouldn't even recognize as life at first.Our descendants might enjoy similar mutant pussy if a human colony is in a place that makes them adapt to look that way somehow, but we're not getting any sexy colorful space girls remotely close to our lifetimes, even if we made first contact tomorrow. We aren't even getting something like bug pussy, we're getting sentient frozen rocks that eat and breathe poison who have zero reason to visit us or even talk to us beyond swapping any scientific nerd info. There's not really any reason to kill them either since we'd be waging war for the privilege of living in a poisonous unlivable hellscape. It'd just be "oh, you guys exist, that's neat and utterly useless, nothing changes for us except some shit only nerds care about"Reality is gay
>>61581198I actually do think the 25 round mags for a gun that fires in 3 round bursts is a neat thing. When the gun fires a single round, you know the magazine is empty. Or a 2-round burst if you've topped it off.
>>61586956A lot of different groups have lived in Ukraine over the ages. In another thread recently, I detailed how the Romans believed that Ukraine was one of the ends of the earth due to the mud season. The liquid mud made them believe the laws of physics were breaking down there and causing the solid ground to become liquid. It didn't help that the center of Ukraine was sparsely populated for a long time. There were Greek kingdoms in the south, such as the kingdom of Pontus in Crimea, who were leftovers from Alexander's conquests and whose king, Mithridates IV, had cultivated an immunity to poison. He seemingly used Roman beliefs about Ukraine to his advantage and Pompey's army was pretty much unable to follow him eastward. Ukraine was de-facto a territory of Poland for a long time and into the early modern period, but de-jure it was kind of this wild west (or wild east in this case) area where people could just escape the law or live free without taxes or anything. About half of modern Ukraine was also part of Khazaria for some time, the Khazars being a Turkic people who conquered much around that southern Russian area and converted to Judaism in the 8th century, though in a similar fashion to the Mongols (they were a Khaganate), there was always a fairly lax view of religion and everything from Christianity to Islam to Buddhism to Tengrism to various kinds of Paganism were practiced, and there was some degree of overlap between all of these too. Some sources from the time described them as irreligious.It's one of those places that has a complicated history.
>>61602262>It's more likely to be silicon-based creaturesName 1 silicon based lifeform fag, meanwhile there is literally over 1 trillion carbon based onesSilicon based life is fake and gay, carbon chads WINNING
>>61603259All life that we know of is currently on this little ball we all inhabit. We have absolutely nothing to compare against because we haven't found any other little balls like the ones we live on, they've all been barren and lifeless.What we can compare against is all of the many twists and turns life has taken to evolve here. Think of all the mass extinctions. The very first one is the sole reason you and me breathe oxygen, and why the plants breathe carbon dioxide, and it occurred when all life was single-celled. One little random change and something as fundamental as what we breathe changes, as does the trajectory of all life. Even if we do assume they're carbon-based, they very likely will still inhabit a ball of poison gas, whose lifeforms are utterly alien to us. The chances of them being oxygen-breathing humanoids is nearly impossible. The silicon thing, or any other elemental basis for that matter, is just icing on the cake. Carbon-based is the best case scenario, because that means you could probably walk on their planet in a hazmat suit rather than being flash frozen or vaporized instantly. But again, little reason for that, because why would you ever want to do that?
