why cant they just slap the mech armor on a tank
>>65263621Energy-efficiency is literally irrelevant when you have a goddamn fusion engine powerful enough to operate a whole-ass arsneal of anti-tank rated DEWs.
>>65263621>even Battletech now thinks there's actually no reason that Battletechs should exist anymore.they were nobility weapons for a while, even in old lore battlemechs were hunks of junk only kept as status symbols for their petty wars
>>65262767>Well, yeah. Thats been one of the big recurring arguments against mechs on /k/ for the 15 years Ive been here, is that any material lightweight and tough enough to make mechs not a retarded death-trap would also necessarily result in gunships that can take direct cannon fire all day and MBTs that can be dropped by parachute.
>>65266262What's even the argument being made here? An F16 could be rendered inoperable by a single burst of rifle fire, as could a semi truck. A mech should at the very least survive rifle fire, presumably more if you want them to be worth fielding. An F16 will also crumble like paper if its weight is concentrated on any surface that isn't the landing gear, whereas a mech should reasonably expect every part of its frame to be structural and load bearing from practically any angle, to account for the mech going prone or taking a knee, etc; and shock resistant since not every step it takes will be soft or from a uniform height. You would have to be the dumbest nigger alive to be making the assertion that the material demands of a mech chassis are the same as those of an airframe or truck chassis, so presumably you're trying to say something else?
>>65266262damn, how many truck could you fit in a carrier?
Anyone ever done this?
>>65263863OPs missing a huge chunk of the left side of the receiver. No amount of solder or remelting plastic will fix it.>>65262751The back of the receiver is holding in the upper and recoil springs. The bolt is slamming into the back of it with the recoil springs. He's missing like 1/4 of the material in that section on the vz.61. OPs retarded. Let him post his sbr and try firing it with the bolt going through his already empty skull when the receiver fails and the bolt keeps going with the back half of the receiver into his skull.
>>65263863If we’re being honest filament isn’t a good material either, but we’re on the bleeding edge of science here. Yeah, it looks like ass but I actually don’t see much of a problem here. It could have been a worse print issue. The barrel pins in so easy that I almost wonder if a .22lr and printed bolt might hold.
>>65263877It’s not a big chunk tho. It will hold. Will it last? Probably not. You gotta have some faith in the plastic.

Not much is known about it at the moment, but it's being developed by Viettel and the VPA institute.Munition:> Range: 70 & 150 km> Diameter: 300mmThey're also developing an ATACMS-like missile for it too, which will have a range of ~300 kmIt looks similar to the K239 Chunmoo and the PULS, but all these MLRS have different missile diameter size and configuration
>>65252603Thanks. >>65252890>>65253063Rockets and range come first then guidance.>>65252603Xi stop embarrassing yourself. >>65259025Choosing Norks over Russia is not necessarily a bad idea these days, especially as the DPRK and Vietnam are long term friends and Vietnam owes the DPRK. Nork light armor would be better than BMP-1 clones for Vietnam as well, Nork 323 APCs BTFO base M113s and BMP-1s. Happy Summer Solstice everyone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nd3v6qoAdA
>>65260117>North Korea was indeed something of a pioneer, they built theirs to bombard Seoul which was out of reach of effective ballistic MLRS.It's why i like them so much, they deal with their specific situation and exports are incidental to their own needs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQc6qo-L4_Y
>>65262344Norktard I don't get you. You mix extremely smart takes with pants-on-head retarded takes that not even the thirdies usually beat. I want whatever you're smoking man
>>65261586Philippines still hasn't defeated their communist and Muslim insurgencies after decades of war.
>>65256560Which is really weird honestly. They will never have the kind of stability that is required to become a financial powerhouse like the US, and they most certainly don't have the higher education infrastructure to support high-complexity white collar industries, not at any level rivaling the West anyway. Low-complexity manufacturing is all they have and there's not any path forward for them if they outsource it.Also btw they're not outsourcing anything to Mexico really, that's just American companies moving it there for the combined factors of logistics, NAFTA, and Chinese wanting to be paid wages slightly above subhuman-level (unacceptable)
Post and discuss.
>>65265802Its not FDE but Coyote Tan. I ordered one this weekend.
>>65265814Ah, I just said "ayo gibsmedat brown one an sheeit"
>>65265469I've probably put 5000 round through my AR alone, and a few more thousand through my carry guns, bolt action, shotgun, etc. Don't have time for the range like I used to but I still make it a few times a year. I do buy all my gear intending for it to last at least as long as my barrel. I'll check out the Fire team. Is there anywhere I can go and ask for advice from people that have a lot of experience with multiple suppressors? This thread seems pretty slow.
Got a brand new just-released inconel 22 can. It's going on an AR22 build, but that's not ready yet so here it is on my Ruger.
>>65260409If you want a extremely tough suppressor that won't degrade over time, you can look at the Lazarus 6 or suppressors with a SOCOM test rating. The Lazarus is pretty balanced, and Jay over at PewScience had a lot of good things to say about it on his podcast. I'm curious how the new CT5P will perform compared to the Laz6, but it's too new so there's not a lot out there on it.>>65266139There's a guy on jewtube with 200+ suppressors. He's supposedly building a database on his website, but none of it is scientific, it's all opinion-based and how he perceives sound. Shouldn't be too hard to find.
I've never manufactured weapons and have little experience in it. If anyone has a blueprint or drawing showing step-by-step instructions, please let me know. (Sorry to my bad english)

Literally just a 380 M9, actually a fantastic gun. The only thing that would make it better was if it was chambered in .32 but still easily the best .380 handgun on the market.

>>65262154Sits high, but it's good enough as a poor.
>>65254106I bought one for my fiance, loved it so much that I bought another for myself.It's my new carry gun. I replaced the grips with wood, and it looks pretty good.Both were the last guns I bought from Gunzonedeals. RIP the best source for cheap guns, you will not be forgotten. Plus Beretta had that rebate at that time, so i got the 80Xs for dirt cheap.

>>65242122That might be a Globeco Mohawk, they were Finnish captured SVT’s rechambered in .303 and sold on the Canadian market. My father owned one, he traded it for a .30’06 bolt action.
>>65242345Context?
>>65248484Fuckin Hoser
>>65238527looks cool
>>65259032nta but i have one of those chambered in .410 proper and the follower is actually welded in place. i suppose it must not be all of them because i've seen some re-fitted with an enfield mag and you can normally get about 3 shells to feed reliably before you start having issues.
Arizona ghost town edition. No previous thread or challenge macros because OP is a faggot as always.
Last photo, I called this guy into ten yards just for practice since they're out of season. Point deduction for not bringing a long gun or camping out, because I didn't want to get mistaken for a poacher or claim jumper. Next time I will though, now that I know the nearest rancheros are far off and not reactive to .22 fire. Bonus points for harvesting a rabbit and eating it in the zone.

I want to something more useful to others than a glorified performer. 71A would be the route.Decently fit 1.5 miles in 11 minutes is low effort and would leave enough gas for the rest of the fit test.But the red flags are: I was sickly before and have some shady stuff in my medical files that may DQ. Idk if they might even punish me over that stuff.And I’m a twink/faggot although I’m growing out of it.I keep waffling over if to submit my papers for a med corps recruiter in linked in or not risk making a fool of myself. If I want to escape academia for something better I should do it while I’m still young.>>65262515How easy do medical waivers come by?

I half-regret not spending the 400 Big Macs on the genuine article. But now they're 600 Big Macs, and they all have the cuck shelf.No brand is safe from lemons, I've seen two anons right here who had big enough problems with their GERMAN PERFECTION that they had to send the guns in. If at the end of the day you get a working gun for 1/3 the price, that's a yuge win. Even if it takes a trip back to the apes at Century.
>>65265881Century just imports the ones made by MKE. MAC imports the ones made by MKE's subcontractor Mertsav Defense Systems.

>>65265891I think Obama saying "we should be like Australia" and have mandatory gun buybacks stayed in people's minds a lot longer than his party would have liked. The same goes for the riots, which again, they are trying desperately to make people forget. Having violent felons bussed into small towns to try to set them on fire is a message a lot more enduring than the latest shill spam or faux outrage over a tweet, and now it seems to be almost universally taken for granted that if antifa or a similar violent mob steps on your property you should be able to defend yourself with armed force.

Man Aliexpress armor guides are cracked.>As a security officer working in a high-crime area, I needed armor that could stop rifle rounds but also allow me to move quickly during foot patrols. I compared several Level IV options and found that steel plates offered the best protection>I once spoke with a police officer who had used Level IV steel plates during a high-profile operation. He confirmed that the plates stopped a .223 round during a live engagement, saving his life. However, he also mentioned that the weight made it difficult to wear for long periods.https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-level-iv-body-armor-plates.htmlAlso apparently you can buy cheat ringed steel plates from China, so I may have to revise my opinion the AR500 IIIA is the worst plate of all time.
>>65265108Are they joking with this shit? Like, is it actually a joke?lmaooo at credential-blocking a C-tier RF2 plate.
>>65265493No it's not a joke. 2006 called, they want their drop-proof steel PE hybrid plate back.>C-tier RF2 plateI'd say B-tier. It would sweep the old /bag/ steel plate copypasta, which was formerly led by the TAC3S family. It would have been the best steel plate of all time twenty years ago, and a real contender then. The rating sucks with no A1 at 5.9lb, but it has much better shot spacing capabilities than, for example, an LTC 19513, so as long as the threat level remains "CONUS minimum" it's solid for edge scenarios involving getting magdumped. NIJ seems to be confident A1 is not a problem yet.Also it's completely immune to drops, microcracking isn't an issue, it has a major multi-hit advantage, etc. I have zero confidence in it against future 85,000 PSI M193+ and M855+ though. You and I both know HICAR is gonna go commercial.
