Congratulations, anon. Somehow, you've been appointed the chief armorer for a newly created small police department in Nowheresville. Your job is to arm this department. The department employs 90 patrol officers, 12 of which are on the SWAT team, and an additional 10 detectives who all need firearms, including sidearms and some sort of long gun.You've been given $300,000 by the city to spend at your discretion.
>>65035513Thank you for your service protecting our strategic retail infrastructure.
>>65035513How do I know you're at least 35
>>65027933i'm assuming that i have to be able to provide an firearm to each of these officers in case nobody gets a personal firearm approved, and to have extras for repair timepistols on offer:>S&W Model 19a .357, which we'll provide lots of .38 for, or .357 on request. i was going to go with model 10 but i have to assume some retard will put .357 through it. this'll satisfy the cops who like an old school style for appearance or putting others at ease, and also be the thing to give to faggots who demand 'stopping power'. expect i'll need about 20 for $20k>Springfield Garrison 1911someone's going to demand a .45, a lot of someone's probably. this is cheap enough, good enough, and fits the bill. 30 for $22k>Walther PDP 5" 9mmif i wasn't worried about glock leg i'd go with it but i'm assuming there'll be a retard or two i'll have to arm. walther's an odd choice on the surface but the PDP is cheap, solid, and laser/light+red dot ready for SWAT. probably my default, 60 for $38k. >Diamondback SDR .357this is just here in case the detectives really NEED a tiny concealed carry(they shouldn't) 5 for $3500.long guns:>Benelli SuperNova/Nova Tacticalsit's a pump-action, with a few variations. get a spread of the styles, but keep parts compatible. ~900 per unit normalizing for the price variation, 30 for $27kComment too long.

>>65027933For basically everything I'm less concerned about brandfagging and more about getting a good deal on the purchasing contract. We're on a budget, here. I'm assuming we've already got the basics - nightstick, taser, handcuffs, etc covered already.>Sidearm:Some sort of wonder-nine. Wooden furniture. Not a SIG unless they can sort out their QC issues. Everyone gets one. Officers can supply their own backup weapon but, again, wood furniture is a hard requirement. >Long gun: Again, any .223 Armalite. Not picky on the brand but it, again, needs to be wood-furnished. We're the police, not an occupying army. One in the trunk of each patrol car for shit like robberies and anything else we're expecting them to throw worse than broken bottles at us. SWAT guys carry it as their main weapon. >Riot gun: A 12 gauge shotgun. Pump action. Wood furnished. Probably a Mossberg or a Benelli. Mostly for launching bean bag shells at ornery "peaceful but slightly fiery" protestors if they come in our neck of the woods, but also if we get reports of a bear or something running around. Kept in the armory until needed. More important than the guns though is how policing is done and how police look, and are perceived to be doing their jobs. That means blue pants and a blue coat over the vest in the winter. Aside from the vest and belt, no tacticool shit whatsoever except when SWAT gets deployed, and they wear blue fatigues. Under no circumstances should police appear to be a military force. Integrate officers more closely in the community. More foot patrols. Police and citizens should view eachother as belonging to the same community. An 'us vs them attitude is counterproductive towards the overall goal of controlling crime and safer communities. Also, a strict no-obesity policy is to be placed in effect. I don't wanna see some wheezing sack of shit try and fail to catch a 14-year old on a skateboard. Fat cops make the whole force look ineffectual and stupid.

Is a sea mine instant death for a US submarine operating in the shallow waters of the Persian gulf?
>>65023117Who's that lil fella
>>65023820The USSR designed their subs with a lot of reserve buoyancy for emergencies which is one of the reasons there's so many firsthand accounts of russian sub accidents that involved major flooding
>>65023096Didn't they only manage to deploy around a dozen?
>>65023413Maybe on the surface but at depth? It causes a cascade of failures. Water pressure crumples bulkhead after bulkhead as buoyancy is lost and the sub sinks faster and faster. A good crew might be able to emergency blow and surface before the sub is lost but it depends on where the sub is hit.
>>65024233If by "withstand" you mean "nearly every crew member injured in some way, some in critical condition, barely saved from sinking by prompt damage control, and rendered more or less combat inoperative" then yeah, I guess they can, lmao. And you think a mine detonation is gonna be easier to survive than grinding into a gentle slope covered in a thick layer of marine mud? Care to explain this retardation?>muh JEEEETSRent free.

Serious question, why dont people use chemical weapons in war anymore?>Its a warcrimeIt's not like you are using a nuke. Nobody is going to do shit. All that matters is winning>It's inhumanegas mask and hazmat suit technology has gone a long way since ww1. I don't see how this is any different then using flamethrowers
>>65027671They do, just on their own populations, if they aren't American, nobody suddenly cares who is doing it. Fun fact, Sadam got his gas from the UK.
>>65027716they are pretty uselesss
>>65037524>Handling high explosives is already dangerous, yet accidents involving nerve gas could easily be even worse.nah they are modern ones are usually binary mixes they are fairly safe just strategically not worth much, they don't destroy enemy heavy weapons or emplacementsor factories, that delivery mechanism is better used with a explosives or incendaries, otherwise they deny, delay and inconvenience your own troops as much as the enemies
>>65037524Give me a house made of C4 bricks anyday. A single spray can of mustard gas? No. Thankyou.
>>65038278Mustard isn’t that dangerous, unlike nerve gas like sarin or tabun, though. You literature drop dead within minutes from a milligram dose
What weapons could be used to accomplish this?
>>65013846I don't know but, please God make it happen.
Wasn't there something this year that literally was transmitted through shit in india?

I just like it.
>>65038024Don't sweat it. I'm still regretting the P7 I found back in the day (2009ish) for $1200.
>>65038004That (seven thousand) is a ludicrous gun show price, you know how that goes.If you seek diligently on gunjoker should be able to find an original 1980s one for around two thousand in decent to mint condition.Most people buying them these days are for collector / vintage sniper rifle purposes anyway>>65037543>'fashion change' <------Where did my post say or imply that?Technology didn't exist for it to be widely adopted by military services in numbers during the 1980s. (Let's explain it even further for Mr. Attorney FAGGOTBRAIN here-- During the 1980s, no major scope manufacturer was offering a mil-standard and -specification variable power optic that was suitable to spec/reliability for any military service to widely and securely adopt it. By the 1990s and later, some of the newly engineered and developed designs became viable for military services to adopt them and purchase them for front line use by troops.)Yes, retard my remark # 65037430 was made in the knowledge that those types of scopes for mil-spec Didn't Fucking Exist in the 1980s.
>>650380292009 was about the last time they (PSPs) were either imported as police surplus, or you could still find them for reasonable price under $1K.2010 and later was when prices and scarcity started to creep inexorably upward
Why don't they make guns that look like this anymore? this looks very stylish in comparison to the savage and ruger budget rifles.

Does Iran have any Russian Lancet drones? Has Russia supplied them or shared the design so Iran could build its own? We know Russia has sent drones to Iran and trained Iranian operators, and Iran has provided Shahed drones to Russia along with the designs for local production. If Iran does have Lancet drones or a similar variant, what impact would that have on the war and what role would they play?
>>65037286I've heard that they are fully autonomous like the switchblades, but I think a human operator can intervene for target acquisition and terminal approach.
>>65037415Switchblades aren't fully autonomous, they identify targets and then give the operator the option to confirm or wave off. I take it Lancet is like that, then? Or do they yolo them off in the direction of the enemy and hope it's not friendly slavshit that it chooses to target?
>>65036353
>>65036353Lancets are a bit high end for Iran guerrilla war, they should be sending Molniyas pic related
>>65037490>I take it Lancet is like that, then?Anon, I don't know how to break this to you, but Russia are so technologically backwards they were looting washing machines at the start of this conflict for the consumer grade chips they contained.Russia are lucky they managed to set up a 2 way feed for video and control. Autonomous target selection based on image classification, a technology that the west mastered in the 80's is as achievable to them as faster than light travel or a conscript keeping his anal virginity
If one were avoiding places that one could conceivably shoot recreationally in a safe, environmentally-friendly space "innawoods" where would you avoid in Florida? Of course none of us would do anything illegal but let's say you were avoiding spots one could get away with it, maybe legally gray areas, where should I ABSOLUTELY avoid?
>>65037721>phone posteryou first
>>65037396>avoid places "innawoods" to safely shoot>where would you avoid?That question is so fucking retarded it's difficult to determine if you're trolling or just genuinely stupid. >avoiding spots where you could get away with doing illegal shitThen, genius, absolutely do your shooting in front of the Prada shop in the Coral Gables neighborhood in Miami, midwit
>>65037396I dunno, the fucking ocean?Go away Florida, nobody likes you
>>65037396I'm going out on a limb here but I'd say it would have to be located in both a place that has gators and local law enforcement that is afraid of gators.
I don’t know about environmentally friendly but I always find it funny how for as much as people will tell you you can’t shoot anywhere on Florida public land, I find tons of casings anytime I go to the Everglades, Ocala National Forest, etc. I’m too chickenshit to try my luck.
How the fuck do you stop the Houthi? I'm sick of them camping out in the mountains and periodically crashing my portfolio. What weapons does it take?
>>65029907Fucking buttmad lolGo ride amtrak with the other poors
>>65019315nukes to remove the mountains
>>65019315>How the fuck do you stop the Houthi?blow up the wells within 200KM of the coast and destroy their water or control it. In desert warfare the water controls the war
>>65019315build a pipeline to drain the ganges from india/bangladesh into the rivers in yemen
>>65023550Came here to post this.Yemen has nothing that the rest of the world needs, making it a perfect place to deploy radiological weapons to simply depopulate the region altogether.
Seems like NATO is under alot of flak lately. Let's share some fun/memorable stories about joint-trainings, deployments together, exchanging MRE's and good banter to reminisce about the good old times.
>>65033707>What would happen if America left NATO?The US is NATO. Without the US, NATO will collapse, unfortunately
>>65037411looking online it seems in 1921 was the peak year for the white pop in South Africa in terms of percent (22%)raw numbers peaked in 1995 at 5.22 million whites.

>>65038117Nah, it's still in all European countries' common interest to participate in a mutual defence pact and combined they still have way more than enough grunt to deter Russia which, remember has an economy about as strong as Italy.Defending Canada gets a bit more complex, they'll have to spend more and they'll have to revise a lot of their planning but they'll carry on regardless.

thirdes and flyovers do not know the pain of trying to clean you AR-15 with a pull through when it has one of these gay ass "not an A2 flash hider" muzzle breaks pinned to the barrel
>>65035351Places in America besides the major coastal cities, ie places that you just 'fly over' on your way to an actual destination. I've seen people use the term for anywhere besides New York and LA
>>65035293How do you get all the stuff out with a steel rod? Normally there's supposed to be some textile to attract all the grime, dirt, shavings and shit and become embedded with it so you can remove that stuff.
>>65030511>cleaning your gunsDo you guys actually do this?
>>65030511use a pipe cleanerits literally one of the things the AR was designed to be cleaned with
>>65038157I got a carbon fiber cleaning rod. the issue wasn't cleaning the break itself, the problem was the pull through would get stuck in the break because the break's opening is the same size as the muzzle so if the pull through bent at all and wasn't going straight it would hit the side of the muzzle break instead of the exit hole and I'd have to poke it with like a quetip to get it to go into the exist hole
Behold, the worst tank ever made by man
>>65035185That's not a new tank. That's just imporverished North Koreans slapping bullshit on old T62 hulls for parades
>>65033071how do you know it's a clear penetration and not just the outer bolted-on armor package ?
>>65026133Post sauce. Shermans would have had an excellent survival rate against the tanks they were designed to fight. And when you can field thousands of units vs hundreds, with air support, and good medical support and supply; casualty rates go down.Plus being able to quickly uparmor and upgun those older designs because your factories have geographic immunity.Let's be honest - M4 was roughly on Panzer IV level. Below Panther or even T34, but relaible as Hell.And we cranked them out enough to not barely care if a whole cargo ship of them was sunk on its way to arm commies.
>>65026330>Seething about Musk.Pathetic.Better safety record than NASA.
>>65026631It's pressed and ammo is corrosive?NTA but in an extended engagement I can see hot that would lead to issues.Hypothetically.
How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
>>65034587Surely if your engineering quartz crystal into the ammo you can put something in there that the spark can get going….
Got a retarded question, when a bullet is fired what's stopping the explosion from blackpowder from blasting the holder in their face?Is it due to the initial primer explosion forcing it to go out the barrel way?
>>65035725There's this thing in practical physics called "the path of least resistance"The amount of force required to push the projectile out the barrel to decompress from the powder burn is lower than the amount of force required to decompress back out the tiny hole that the spark that sets off the powder goes through.A tiny, negligible amount of force comes out that hole, but it is so little that it is ultimately harmless unless something else has happened (barrel blockage, too much powder, etc) to upset that fact.
>>65036118Learning about the concept of Path Of Least Resistance will incidentally also give you a better understanding of all kinds of stuff in basic physics.
>>65036876Study it with a philosophical mindset and life in general can become a bit less tough…
