Paul is dead. What remains is empty or corrupt. Who are your go-to's for guntoobing? Mine are hrfunk, Preston Moore, and Buffman. Every once in a while I'll watch Mishaco, but the fact they let a blind man shoot a gun terrifies me.I do watch focustripp for the gay ops.
>>64963354>>64963315Oh, well if he's actually from HK I guess it might not be affected. It just sounds weird when he randomly switches from good ole boy to british boarding school accent midsentence, and his sidekick does it too which is what made me think there was something odd about it, otherwise I generally don't pay much attention to accents

>>64963159Don't really do guntoob post-Paul, doesn't seem like anything is worth it. A couple of the lawyers occasionally when something goes down in court regarding gun laws, maybe. Other than that it's just grainy cleaning and teardown vids for me.
ITT: Worst war movies
>>64966028I dont ever really look at QT movies as solid entities but more like collections of individual scenes. IB is weird and there isn't a very good flow to it. I think QT was 2 decades too early to get in on things like Netflix Series because his ability to make a 10-25 minute long unbroken scene is damn impressive, its just hard to fit that into a movie all the time. The opening interrogation with the French farmer and the basement bar scene especially could have been entire 40-minute long AMC prestige cable episodes. Kill Bill vol 1 is pretty overrated, Kill Bill vol 2 is overly hated and when viewed on its own it's pretty haunting. The conversation with Carradine at the end alone crosses back and forth so many times I'm still not sure if you're supposed to find him sympathetic or not depending on if you take his explanation for why he did what he did but he at least seemed self-aware that he was damned and accept his fate.
>>64967431Tarentino sucks. His best movie is Jackie brown, because it was based on something tarentino didn't write.
>>64922898How so? I got the general sense that it's more a personal movie about the creator's experience and his coping with his sense of culpability in a mass murder.
>>64923242Bad movie but I love the over the top Japanese scenes and the take off scene goes incredibly hard and the soundtrack kicks ass. 11 year old me thought the IJN was the baddest shit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHwYD5fFLR4
>>64967519It has the opposite problem of The Final Countdown. Which has a baller fucking concept. And, to be fair, I do like that it is much closer to a Twilight Zone episode with the movie being more of a discussion on the possible consequence of what they want to do.But god damnit I wanted an alternate ending where even a squadron of F14s or F4s or whatever stay behind to destroy the Japanese fleet so entirely that they then move on to hitting the airfield at Formosa. Just 5 or 6 minutes of Macross IRL as a bunch of BVR missiles hit all the important elements before F14s descend like angels and do deck strafing runs.Pearl Harbor as a movie sucks ass, but the execution of the actual attack & portrayal of the Japanese punched well above its weight.
why is that?
>>64965999That could be it, but the thought of the Apache woman gets my loins pumping. Idk guess I'm one of those sadomasochists freaksReally? The 3rd worlders think midwesterners are cold? I've met some myself and I think they're the sweetest Americans anyone will ever meet. So long as you respect their rules and traditions. 3rd worlders always seem to have the problem of being terrible guests so idk
>>64966513more men freed up to be soldiers
>>64930769Women in workforce=high human development indexWomen's rights=Europeans so good military tradition
>>64967238> The 3rd worlders think midwesterners are cold?These are the "donchan'know" Scandies of the midwest these are old pre-revolutionary stock from western PA. Also less "cold" then blunt and rude. Turdies expect those "below" them to bow and scrape and those "above" them to shit on them. Shitskins try to hide their greedy nature(ineffectively) while these people are up front and if they don't like they deal they tell you to fuck off and die.Of course it didn't help that I warned many the locals before hand of the shenanigans and we were able to fleece the mudmen for a mint. But people I had never spoken with and wouldn't have heard it on the grapevine also fleeced the retards. I made 40k for doing nothing, because money I ever stole in my life. They were basically trying to land with valuable mineral rights because an old boomer who wasn't properly racist told them about some opportunities. Since lying to them will never reflect poorly on me and I was under no legal obligation to to lie I did it, thereby denying them a foothold and fucking them out of money. The average man here is cruel, I'm actively malicious.
>>64967238>3rd worlders always seem to have the problem of being terrible guestsah but there's the rubit's always "they called me a nigger!" and then you inquire further and realise it was due to engaging in niggerly shenanigans>>64965999>during Boudica's Revolt women would supposed torture Roman soldiers by boiling or flaying them. This is of course Roman propaganda just as the pro-Boudica propaganda claimed her family was raped and killed by Roman soldiers. But both arewell-documented common practices in antiquity; hell all the way up to Napoleonic times. the genesis of modern laws of armed conflict was the clergy's horror at seeing all this and attempting to stop it

What was the absolute, most miserable environment to fight in during WW2?
>>64951947>Strategic bombing of german industry and opening a second front surely shortened the warMore than just that. Not having to man the Atlantic wall, fight in the Desert or Italy would free up thousand of pieces of armor and artillery not to mention god knows how many men. Not needing to build literally a thousand submarines and being able to put those resources East. Not needing to build tens of thousands of large AAA guns to shoot down bombers. Not having your air force whittled down by Western fighter aircraft so it can clear the skies of the Reds. All the production gained from not having your cities flattened around the clock. Combine all that with losing lend lease. I don't think the Soviets would have the upper hand for long in that scenario.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't FLAK guns be much better and cheaper at drone killing than these million dollar missile systems? I mean surely someone is doing it?
>>64966737FLAK is outdated and useless, but anti-aircraft guns are a valid solution to large drones
>>64966982This >>64967022, Zelensky in a very indirect way basically said that Trump's bullshit is pretty much that.I'd imagine he's very much used to it now.
>>64967047It is a weird national pride thing. Because of how it suffered from US air power KPVs were the second weapon the DPRK was ever able to manufacture domestically, the first being their PPsH variant the Type 50. They actually could make KPVs before they could make rifles. Sung just said 'fuck it make more KPVs!' and things just got out of hand. Now suddenly they are useful. In Sung's defense i don't think anyone ever complained about losing a war because they had a quarter million 14.5mm HMG barrels at their disposal. >>64967052>If Russia had....Well they didn't did they? Now their armor, artillery and MLRS stockpiles are dwarfed by...Oh wait, thats right, North fucking Korea.>>64967178KS-19s are amazingly useful guns (not just as AAA but as regular artillery) if modernised, they are probably the best autoloading ground based DP gun ever mass produced. Of course Soviet missile retardation saw them abandoned so only a few people (PRC until recently, DPRK) actually use them in a updated AAA network. Pic: My true Norkfu equipment wise. She can fit into a ZSU-2 mount so she can go into those twin 14.5mm turrets they love so much.
>>64966737the main issue you run into with flak is the fuse timing. there's solutions, but if you go with the cheapest possible flak options you have to make sure your ammo is the right range, or you need a direct hit to score a kill. that's why the modern iterations being researched and deployed use proximity fusing or variable fusing. so you can't just take an old flak gun out of storage and hope to knock drones out of the sky.

I LOVE the Finnish RK62. especially the M3. closest thing I can do on this budget is to convert my JRA Gallant. hard part will be finding Sako stock now that aawee.fi mostly dried up. Iron Curtain Customs make 7.62 barrels and trunnions for the galil, so that's a start. Valman Ltd.'s AK2.0 furniture will probably also be the icing on the cake. what other guns have been a sisyphean task to clone?
>>64967251This is a MK22 Hushpuppy I built. I've gotten my hands on originals of some of the other special purpose suppressed pistols and have projects going to recreate them as well
>>64967251>>64967259>I built a new piston and barrel by scaling from picturesincredibly based
>>64967251How do they stay low budget after all that work and necessary tools?
>>64967259I posted this in a TP9 thread the other day, but it's one of my recent builds. The civilian Steyr SPP is lacking the foregrip of the TMP so I modeled one, again from pictures, then had it printed in glass filled nylon. After sanding and painting it I pocketed out the frame, leaving a center island where the serial is located, and epoxied the grip in flush. That makes it one of the only, if not only, Steyr-marked guns with the grip in the US. I put more labor hours in this than in some parts kits I've built, trying to make it seamless>>64967322Everything is relative. An $1100 SG550 or HK33 is a fraction of the cost of a preban, new import, or shop built gun and gives me more satisfaction in ownership than just swiping a credit card to fill out the collection. Plus I can do stuff that is otherwise impossible to replicate, like clone engravings or parts that were never sold. Some stuff can't be had at any price. It helps that I have a full cnc machine shop with all the tools and capabilities.
>>64961683>RK-62After the things I've seen/heard and done to this piece of iron: I wonder how well the new Sako rifles will hold up to the gorilla nigger abuse of the conscripts?How much mental anguish will it cause to the sergeants/lieutenants/captains/armorers when Ville gets bored and decides to use his rifle as a golf club?Or when Matti decides that using the barrel/mag/mag well/any other part of the rifle is a good hiding spot for his lit ciggie?Or when Teppo decides not to dry his rifle and leaves it soaked as shit outside the tent on mount Hätilä and it turns into a solid block of ice?How much ass will be torn when shit-for-brains Nönnönnöö drops his rifle behind the IFV that is backing up and his rifle turns into a krummlauf?I can't wait for the class of x/xx to post their shenanigans on tiktok or whatever the fiuck.

>Mosaic Warfare is a warfighting theory which suggests that making an enemy fight an unexpectedly large, asymmetric volume and variety of weaponry and platforms from different classes, sizes, and types each fighting in a way as distinct as the tiles in a mosaic – can have an overpowering advantage as compared to going head-to-head against that enemy’s similar weapons and platforms.>It’s a disjointed, multi-domain approach that runs counter to the belief that only a coordinated, uniformly-trained, smoothly-functioning fighting force would be the more powerful opponent to face. Like the tiles in a mosaic, the individual platforms of each domain – air, land, maritime, cyber, space, and so on – would together create a larger picture of broad and overpowering strength, while simultaneously making it hard for the enemy to pin down one way to fight against such a confusing, mixed bag of an opponent.Is Mosaic Warfare an effective way in engaging in war(especially considering recent events)?
I'd say that whether it's intentional or not they are effectively executing a systems approach, evaluate your own forces with pragmatism and try to set them up as best as possible in regards to your own resources, capabilities and culture, relative to the enemy and relative to the overral situation.It's not about physical maneuver or attriting the enemy, but identifying in all of domains (physical, moral, information) where the enemy system can be influenced to reach a desired state.
Hot take, this doctrine isn't retarded but just ahead of its time. Done right this just sounds like what is effectively a far more complex version of present-day combined warfarfare. With the way warfare appears to be going as far as drone swarms, AI and a rapidly expanding gamme of non-traditional avenues for warfare in the cyber domain, 'mosaic warfare' in some form could become the norm. The problem iran has is that they're nowhere near that competent or high tech, so it comes across as a massive fucking cope.
Mosaic theory the way DARPA figures isn't what we're seeing in Iran. Iran cut their military into cells to try and survive decapitation. (Which hasn't worked so well lollmao) DARPA wants to adopt small amounts of new equipment, 100 each of 50 types of drones, instead of 50,000 of the same drone. To make is harder for the enemy counter a single drone threat. Which isn't a bad idea but may not be doable in our system, which loves to buy a lot of the same thing.
>>64965201 isn't that kinda what Ukraine is doing due to getting all kinds of random NATO gear in rather smallish numbers?
>>64965241Kinda? A recent example was that electronics factory which involved thinning out AD first, then the use of long range drones to bait the defenses, and then using Storm Shadows for the actual attack. But there was a day and a half gap between drone and missile strike as the batteries repositioned expecting another drone deep strike.
How would you rate the officers' arrest of this suspect? I give it a solid 8/10 for trying to at least defuse the situation, but I think he should have done a bit more to secure him during the arrest like slamming him to the ground before putting him in cuffs to esure that he was safely detained. >https://usacrime.com/man-arrested-in-pierce-county-after-driving-through-crosswalk-with-students-crossing/Feel free to post your favorites too!
