Hypothetically if you had a relatively prominent and defensible hill on your property and an unreasonable amount of free time how would you fortify it against an attacking force that could best be described as determined and crafty methheads. Kind of like modern equivalents to medieval brigands. Bonus points if it isn’t just First World War trench systems.

>>65025068Sunken approach road(s), lots of trees, ha-has, lots of thermal game cameras (with Starlink and generators) doped tannerite wrapped in ball bearings on the backs of many of those trees, concertina wire like it's on fire sale, a literal shit-ton of treated stored water and nonperishable food, plus a few wells, lots of treated fuel and propane tanks, multiple 3M or Avon respirators and new filters, PVSs, thermal, solar panels and rechargeable batteries.At least one 12.7, a heavy barrel AR running an SS and 40 rnd Pmags with + 5 Tarans, Battle rifles in every room, a Savage in .300WM with black tipsDogs.Drones.

Well as a surprise to no one, the UK can't afford a defense project and is trying to slow GCAP down by not paying.https://www.ft.com/content/c3de1d53-4aa8-4e11-87b1-409172bdc3ef?syn-25a6b1a6=1
>>65037368If you hadn't noticed, it's being bumped because of the £700M contract award from yesterday/this morning. It's the biggest GCAP news in months.
>>65037400The DIP is a MoD wide exercise and taking a 10 year timeframe into account which hasn't been done before. It's not a simple exercise, and it's complicated by having to converse with the treasury and cabinet about it. The BBC reported back in Feb that Starmer was considering a rise to 3% of GDP for defence by the end of this parliament; that's no coincidence and would nicely cover the shortfall. There are likely conversations behind closed doors with the likes of the OBR and Treasury to figure out how doable that is which are probably getting detailed weekly if not daily by the bond market getting fucky thanks to middle Eastern oil flows.There are probably some very stressed public servants running around right now, but political will for future defence spend has probably increased this last month despite the situation stressing the national finances.
>>65037453To be fair, it's only gone down this 10 year path recently BECAUSE they couldn't figure it out in the normal 1 year plan.
>>65037453>The DIP is a MoD wide exercise and taking a 10 year timeframe into account which hasn't been done before. It's not a simple exercise, and it's complicated by having to converse with the treasury and cabinet about it.>Achually the UK is doing this super duper hard defense plan that they have never done before at such a scale, but they also didn't have any backup plan or guarantees for an extremely important multinational program!!!This isn't the defense you think it is. If they are doing this unprecedented and risky ass program then you should probably have some shtf backup plan to guarantee funding to important projects, but they didn't. This fact makes it even more embarrassing for the bongs since they seemingly saw no risk in this extremely volatile plan right before an election and now are massively delayed because of it.
>>65038068>>65038028They should've ring fenced GCAP funding months ago to at least assure Italy/Japan funding for GCAP was coming, even if the actual release of funds was delayed.
How would a modern day Vietnam War look like?
>>64985961Given that Vietnam is vaguely Western aligned or at least anti-Sino aggression, for which the Western purposes may find utility, this meme is vaguely Western adjacent and i hereby>X to doubtAlso M7 is stupid. Just make super charged intermediate cartridge and call it a day.
>>65017000>>65019927>>65032003What do you think of the idea of switching to bullpup rifles? I hope Vietnam one day standardizes to bull pup rifles given that they rely on under-barrel grenade launchers.Bull pup rifle shifts a portion of the weight near the user. This makes the rifle less heavy as there's less torque acting on the user. Simply put:Torque = distance (at a pivot) * ForceYou can feel the difference in torque when you straighten your arm out and hold a bag. Even though the bag is the same weight, holding it with your hand compared to with your shoulder feels different due to torque.Given that the traditional rifle is front heavy, attaching an under-barrel grenade launcher adds more to this effect and makes the rifle feel much heavier. A bull pup reliefs this issue by balancing the weight. The weight of the under-barrel grenade launcher is mitigated by the weight distribution of a bull pup rifle. Comment too long.

>>65034335can't say for the Army, but the bullpup Tavor already got kicked down to militiamen>previously, only Marine Infantry (Hải quân đánh bộ) was equipped with the Tavor anywaypersonally i see a bullpup rifle as a niché weapon with difficulties in mass training
>>65034441forgot to say if a grunt started out training with an AK (which is usually the case), then he would have difficulties adjusting to a bullpupif he started training with a bullpup (like the militia men in photo) then its fair game
>>65034441on a 2nd thought, maybe the Tavors in pic are just for showthe other militia men are equipped with riot control gears, and there are only 2 guns in the whole photo
Where the NVA and Viet Cong seen as scum and lowly by the American troops fighting the Vietnam war? Or was there some begrudging respect between them?
Anyone who says anything about respect is a liar and read too much propaganda lmfao. I used to talk to my grandfather about the war and the level of racism the average GI held would make today’s libs eye water.
>>65026570>>65026595While i always appriceate a good effortpost, that was a meme.Picture is of deus ex main character, named JC denton, and he says what the anon posted.
>>65001540i think a better question is how did the south vietnamese troops (who didn't run away at first hand, i.e mostly airborne or marine units,) or those green beret trained units, typically montagnards who absolutely hated the NV. The latter hated all vietnamese, but especially hated the NV, Respecting your enemy for being capable at fighting is one thing, but i doubt any GI respected them for being communist.
>>65026776which documentary?
>>65001540Let's talk about how the VC were treated by the NVA. They were viewed with distrust and allowed to wipe themselves out in the Tet Offensive of 68. Most "VC" sightings and fights were with NVAs who traveled through Laos and Cambodia before simply shedding their uniform and put on the civilian attire of local rice farmers. Guerrilla warfare is the real clever trick of disguising yourself as a civilian, and then counting on civilians getting killed so you can blame the other side.If you think US atrocities were bad, just read what the VC got up to during the Tet Offensive and the South Koreans did in their sectors.The U.S. could have/should have shut the Ho Chi Minh trail down and watched the "VC" threat disappear.>>65033110The shitlib Ken Burns one narrated by a hippy. The only good war is against right-wing govts in their opinion.
any excuse to post sharp objects is a good one.here's the finnish puukko. comes in many varieties, often with regional variations depending on very local craftsmen from small villages. this example is probably from härmä desu.
>>65036213What are the dune freemen or whatever they were named from based on? afghanis? kurds?
>>65036471>What are the dune freemen or whatever they were named from based on? afghanis? kurds?They've got a pretty complicated history in the lore, or do you mean what did Herbert base them on?If the latter, I think it was a combination of Bedouins (or tribal arabs in general) and Jews.
Perfect grip and super sharp straight from the box. Marttiini does not know how to price their puukkos.
>>65035809Probably an ancestor. The Swiss/German form of baselard looks extremely similar.

>>65035205There is no reason someone would be buying more than one a year other than to resell them. It’s so dumb that the CMP allows this.

So now that I can carry my own weapon on base, what should I carry? No 320s
Nineteen eluger or lugteen eleven?
>>65037727A single action army
>>65037727Depends why you're carrying. If you want the respect of your superiors and a promotion you'll carry a 1911. If you want to be megabased you'll carry a C96 and probably catch a dishonorable discharge.

Is $600 a good price for a norinco sks without a bayonet? Pawn shop has one that has been sitting for awhile, marked down from $700
Even a WASR will outperform a blown out chink SKS whore rifle any day

They had very few ligitimate use cases so the number made were more than what was needed for decades. At the same time they are a specialty item whose replacement wasn't on the budget so they are in a odd place where there are alot in storage but it is a hassle getting one.There is also the *minor* issue at some point that at some point someone in the supply chain will know what you are asking for and ask 'what the fuck do you need this for and what the fuck is wrong with you'

>>65027533>>65034929>trigger is way nicer than stockThe wife's edc for years had been as 637 until she tried the 642 Performance Center and I do agree the trigger is definitely nicer. The 637 is back at the same LGS we bought it used from.
Standard grips or checkered grips?

I’d assume that they’d want something with some reach like a spear or halberd so that they can block any strikes towards their tail
>>65037640You need to step on a crossbow to generate the leverage to draw it prior to the invention of the windlass. If you were sufficiently strong enough you could draw it simply with your arms.
would
>>65037717Give them four arms and then they could use crossbows.
>>65037717Even with a windlass, most of them still have stirrups. e.g.: https://www.musee-archerie-valois.fr/en/2021/10/01/windlass-crossbow/You'd need to be a total monster to draw a crossbow with your arms alone.
