>>64641955It's theoretically possible to make a suit of armor out of currently extant materials that could provide perfect full-body protection against all small arms fire. There are already carbon nanotube composites that are 500 times stronger than steel, such that a suit of armor comparable in thickness to medieval armor would provide an effective protection against penetrating hits similar to that of a modern tank.The problem is that it would cost millions of dollars to make a single suit of armor, and it would ultimately still leave the wearer vulnerable to many of the threats on a modern battlefield. While you could make an impenetrable plate, nothing's going to stop transferred kinetic energy from crushing the wearer's ribcage if he's hit with a burst of .50 cal machine gun fire, nor is there any way to protect an infantryman against the overpressure effects of a high explosive shell or bomb going off nearby.
What kind of holster should I get for my SAA? I don’t know if I want to go full cowboy (although I do live in the middle of nowhere so I ***could*** if I wanted).

They are coming for your leadhttps://www.npr.org/2025/12/08/nx-s1-5599539/hunters-encouraged-to-trade-lead-bullets-for-copper-to-protect-scavenging-animals
>>64641121>but it should always be recyclablemost plastic can't be recycled and almost no plastic is recycled
>>64621632Tbh I use lead free by choice because I don't want to eat lead chunks. If there's an inherent accuracy difference, which I haven't been able to discern one across many bullet types, it won't be enough to appreciably harm your ability to hunt. My current hunting load gets about 1 MOA at 100 yards using Starline brass without any particularly involved load development.You do apparently need to be careful about swapping back and forth between jacketed and copper bullets due to them fouling the barrel differently.

What sims/games have good missile design/missile carrier design and combat?>Aurora 4x>Rule the Waves 3>Children of a Dead EarthAnything else? I want to play around with making/producing/fielding missiles. Preferably the option of making very high end missiles with lots of bells and whistles. Thankfully Aurora has that now with multiple warheads, retargeting, a couple kinds of ECM etc.I wish there was something like CODE but with a more grand strategic level with production and construction to compliment the design portion.

Homeworld deserts of Kharak, kinda. It's not really in your scope, but if you can get it cheap I recommend it.
It's time to buy a gun in a big boy caliber. I plan on hunting with it, so weight and length is a concern. 500 yards and in, deer sized game. Thinking 6.5 creedmoor or .308, maybe in a 16" or 18" barrel since I like using a can. Thoughts? I like the springfield waypoint, but the barrel seems a bit long. Sig cross is tempting as well, even though I hate Sig with a passion. It has to shoot very tiny groups (sub .75 moa preferred) because im an accuracy douche, weigh less than 9 lbs, and preferably cost under 2500. Willing to go higher if its not super diminishing returns. Buy a factory gun or build one?
>>64641553Yup. That’s my advice. ar10s are excellent guns and 338 federal is an excellent albeit rare chambering. Cry about it
>>64640871>Needs multiple hits to kill an adult human
>>64641882Yup. Pic related. >>64641930Was leaning towards an AR-10, but I dont want to compromise too much on accuracy. I know that there are some that can print 5 shot half inch groups, but I think a bolt gun has a greater likelihood of being more precise. In my experience it all comes down to QC, but the less moving parts the less chance for deviation. .338 federal does sound awesome, but id need to get another can for it, and I try to avoid tough to find calibers. Plus the whole drop thing...>>64641975While its not an ideal deer caliber, it will definitely do the job with the right bullet.
>>64641975>Muh tiny bulletDo they get stopped by a winter coat too?

QTDDTOTHow much of a serious difference is there in between various brands of 5.56? Assuming same grain weight, bullet type, whatever. I'm trying to buy ammo in bulk and I'm struggling to figure out what brands to buy for both M193 and M855. Currently looking at Winchester for both just because it's cheap and there's a rebate for them. Both will just be for plinking and hoarding.
>>64640492yeah
I just got a pair of Comtac VIII with the dual comms that use the 5 pin downlead. I also have a Baofeng UV-5R radio. Will a cheap Amazon PTT adapter work, or will it require some modification? I couldn’t find a pinout diagram for the 5 pin connector on the Comtac VIIIs, so something is gonna get connected to ground, I just don’t know for sure what it is. Based on the 4 pin connector, it makes the most sense that the other speaker would be shorted to ground.
Not /k/ related at all really but I figure some of you would probably know, what companies make good flags? I don't want to end up with some amazon basics nylon piece of shit

Kinda decent video about the Gettysburg F/A-18 shootdown incident, going over the interesting bits of the report they released:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkyplZNHmzQHere's the report:https://www.secnav.navy.mil/foia/readingroom/HotTopics/HST%20Investigation/Redacted_Full%20CI%20Friendly%20Fire%20HSTCSG%20(2)_Redacted.pdf
>>64641382"The Navy explicitly ruled out problems with any of the ship’s radars."They do this so they can blame the crew and hide the fact that they send out half broken ships on patrols. The radar on the Fitzgerald was working in the same sense that a gear box that is stuck on gear #3 is working. It works but cannot perform its task.
>>64639838Of course! How else do you think they countered Confederate armor?
>>64639829Thats my standard watch keeping routine at sea and is sustainable indefinitely once you get into the swing of it. Having looked through the report I think there were more significant failures than fatigue.

>>64641838>It works for me, so it has to work for everybody else as well...Every medical study on that topic states that there are obvious negative effects of sleep deprivation (this includes sleeping in multiple batches), with effects similar to intoxication - but yeah, I can drive my car drunk most of the time just fine.

I've got a serious strategy to beat China in WW3. Let's say we're trying to invade Shanghai: we'll humidify the fuck out of Shanghai's atmosphere with milk particles. Chinese people by-and-large are lactose intolerant, so all the Chinese soldiers will be forced to surrender due to shitting their pants or experiencing a tummy ache; meanwhile, the milk in the atmosphere will enhance the combat capabilities of western soldiers. It doesn't violate the Geneva Conventions because milk is technically not a chemical weapon, and it'd be humane too since it doesn't even cause any permanent injuries. We'll haul over all kinds of equipment and boatloads of milk to achieve it, and we could even "poison" Shanghai's water supply with milk, leaving the Chinese with zero ability to fight. There'd probably be mass desertions too since PLA soldiers would just ditch the trenches to get away from the smell of shit.I don't know if chemical weapons are within the scope of /k/, but what do you guys think? Should I try and lobby this idea to a think tank?

Mmk so IRR defeats infrared and air gaps defeat thermal? Is that the takeaway from the last couple years of conflict?
None of that is fresh insight unless youre 12 years old or a retarded thirdie.
Drones are defeated by having a friend 10 meters away to get droned instead of you.
>>64641206The main takeaway from the last few years of conflict is that you really shouldn't try to "liberate" people who fucking hate you.We all learn that the hard way I guess, but it is quite funny seeing it happen to somebody else for once.
The shills say you'll definitely buy one.
