>>62786512They are decent for running standalone on a normal pants belt. For a dedicated war belt or two piece belt id much rather run tacos or kiwis. >>62786684>At that point id rather have an airsoft H250 handsetThat aside, you simply arent going to squeeze that much more out of a non comms capable headset. Y cables exist but they are all overwhelmingly jank.Rangeguards are great but it might be time for some real headphones.>>62786699Pic rel is you rn anonIt has nothing to do with size, it has to do with spending money on something that isnt an upgrade.
Coldfags and/or germans, do US liners fit surplus flecktarn parkas or do i need to get a german liner too?

Why are sig grips so fat and ugly? They look like bland round pieces of shit, perfect for their rotund owners. I love the FCU idea but cannot bring myself to get one of these. Hopefully the springfield echelon expands on their platform, at least it doesnt look like horse shit
>>62788238Looks better, shame about the bore axis though. Also shame the military isnt running with that grip and gets the fat boy instead, fits the slipping standards they have anyway
>>62788122>Why are sig grips so fat and uglyYou realize that compact frame comes in three grip sizes, right? And then there's all of the other frame options. And there are aftermarket frames.>>62788253They're issuing a kit with all three sizes of compact frame.
its basically just a fat 1911, honestly i like how they look.
>>62788283I mean, they already use similar mag designs, just with different mag catch cutoutshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYJPOQm0U_Q
>>62788122You could go to a gun store RIGHT NOW and find out why. But instead you're posting on the internet, a noguns who refuses to even go feel a gun.Really really sad man.
Say something nice about it. These girls genuinely had a decent run, all things considered.
>>62785393>I don't consider merchant escort to be the job of a navy>merchants should escort themselves with their own warshisHuh??? I don't think any nations have allowed anyone in their borders besides their own military to construct, train on, and operate modern warships since the days of the East India Company. Pretty much every navy in modern history has had shipping protection as a primary role, keeping global trade running smoothly is basically the #1 job of the USN at this point. What makes you think you know better than every government and naval leader on Earth?
>>62785161Yamato, while deeply flawed in multiple ways, was a remarkable achievement of engineering for the nation and ultimately future proofed herself by sheer size as a Battleship. During design they could not have known that the Battleship would become less tactically versatile or be outstripped in the role of "main firepower dealer" by carriers.
>>62788387Certainly was at the time. They didn't have to deal with the limitations of the panama canal either so they built it as big as they wanted. Shame it was too high value so she didn't get much use as a warship and was more a propaganda piece.

Is it worth it to spend the extra $50 or is there no difference?
>>62788798Dont worry about it.
>>62788808I'm an adult with actual responsibilities, so yeah I don't have time to learn your little kid nuspeak
>>62788816wowww responsibilities? you have a job finally?

Post precision rifles. Discuss optics, rifles, cartridges, shooting tips, etc.>some basic resourcesTODO LOL>previous thread>>62493816
>>62787930Yeah usually the cycle I see for new shooter is, I don't need all that mag, overusing the top end, then being comfortable at just below half
>>62786672>I'm leaning towards the Vortex Razor Gen 3 simply because I can get a 60% discount on them.Vortex isn't really the best value anymore but their customer service remains superb and the g3 is now a real nice product. At that kind of crazy discount yeah absolutely go for it.
>>62787873not a scote rifle, scope is too far back
>>62787873blah blah blah mindset, blah blah blah striving for improvementsure you can. there are better tools for it, but it is at least a tool.
>>62787873I mean why not? My first ever real (as in not junk surplus) rifle was a Ruger scout. I cut my precision shooting teeth with it. Ngl though the front sight in that pic is aids

What is the best weapon to keep the Tarman from eating your brains?
>>62743032Undead Nightmare was great. Turning zombies to red mist with the blunderbuss was so much fun. Phosphorus rounds were also worth crafting.
>>62764170Radioactive fallout from the cities would spread to us retard.
>>62711595I keep my brain in the Sink.
>>62787027>The cityoids told him that if the cities die magic curses will kill him tooLOL
>>62713495Idiots, you capture them and seal them in an air tight container. They can then be buried in concrete or stored in any other way to prevent their escape. How do you think tarman was in there to begin with.
An interesting AUSA2024 straggler. // Main thread died friday while I was off in meatspace. Did I miss any weapons threads? :^)Reuleaux triangle gang: "General Atomics is leveraging its experiences in hypersonic, railgun, and drone development in a new precision artillery [t]round with wings that the company claims could hit moving targets 120 kilometers away in GPS-denied environments."
>>62784130*'ve(Also, I attached a mk-49 just because it looks cool)
>>62784130>Sloppy language. Meant that you're left with the 20mm that remains after you're fired your SeaRAM.SeaRAM replaces phalanx mounts so I dont see where you get your 20 mm gun from.
>>62784157Has it been confirmed that burkes are having all their 20mm replaced? The news from April this year was that they would get SeaRAM and Mk49 where incompatible. But I haven't checked whether there were public clarifications on how many Mk15's would be kept.
>Still upI don't have anything to add to the thread but it shouldn't die to a raid.
Alright /k/, the last gun you touched is the only gun you'll have with you. Is it enough to make it through all of your demons in Silent Hill?
I don't know what Silent Hill is but I wouldnt want to carry a gatling with me for very long
>>62734790>no gunz lurkerIt's over, I have a hunting crossbow at most.
>>62784479I can see anon reenacting the scene from the shining>HEREEEE'S JOHNNY!
>>62775366You will be doing great. In nearly all of the Silent Hill games a basic bitch bolt action rifle is the top tier power weapon (Excluding new game+ unlocks). In the remake the bolt action rifle is cambered in 5.56 so you will have no issue.
>>62734790>uberti schofield Undead Nightmare
hmmmIs it normal to use a D-74 in 2024?
>>62788574Nta but it was the capital of Germany before the reunification.I think putting it in front of the russian embassy(which they did) was a bigger fuck you.
>>62788437I'm fully stocked with hamsters for all eventualities.
>>62788437isn't this winter supposed to be more or less like the last one in Europe, as in, warmer than average?
>>62785538Artillery pieces last a long fucking time man. We basically perfected tube artillery in WW2 and everything since then has been incremental improvements in range and accuracy until PGM shells became a thing. The bong 25 pounder from WW2 is still in service with a shitload of small militaries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordnance_QF_25-pounder#Current_operatorsAnd if someone develops a copperhead shell for that thing, it'll probably stay in service until the carriages fall apart, so another approximately 400 years.
>>62788539Putin wanted his grand war before he's too senile or dead. That's all there is, he's looking at all these toys every parade, but never gets to play.
South Korea will replace 60 and 81mm mortars with drones at battalion-level and below. Weapons companies will be replaced with Dronebot (Drone/Robot) companies over several years. https://archive.is/JMbSG
>>62784904Infantry generally can't shoot mortars out of the air. Droppers can be shot down. Remember, you only see the successful hits.
>>62783563Yes really.What you see in Ukraine is commercial drones adapted for FPV. As for Korea, they will engineer a purpose built drone that comes packaged in a compact protective case all folded up.And you don't have to carry a heavy ass mortar so in fact you can carry more than 1:1 ratio of FPV's compared to a mortar.
>>62783325And what are local commanders supposed to use for obscuration and area suppression after this change?
>>62783439>>62783453Why not drone portable mortars? Build the barrel in along the back of one of those dog-bots and reinforce its hind legs to absorb the shots.
>>62785819Imagine a drone...a vtol drone, if you will...designed to launch and target enemy positions on high parabolic arcs...perhaps we could facilitate its delivery to the frontilne with standard packaging, a launcher just large enough for the drone to shoot out... a tube?>>62787565Worst koreans seem to love their S-MET sized+ serving cart bucket things. Those are large enough to mount weapons if you want as well.
What's the main reason why militaries don't use translucent magazines for most of their guns?>Too expensive?>Difficult to produce?>Is the quality/durability terrible?>Too Heavy?
>>62786937Some do. G36 and Sig 550 magazines are translucent but they add a smoky pigmentation to the plastic in order to make them less shiny. I think the primary concern is making it too easy for an enemy to spot the rifle at a distance because either the cartridges or magazine itself are shining too much in the sun.A lesser concern might be the enemy detecting that a rifleman is low on ammunition. It's retarded because the rifleman would sooner see that information and take action on it than the person staring down the barrel of the rifle, but military procurement tends to be conservative and not very bright. I can imagine them replaying a scene from an action movie where the good guy cleverly pilots out that the bad guy's gun is empty over and over in their heads for that decision process. Apparently this was a big reason why the G3 and MP5 don't have a last round bolt hold open feature.
>>62786937idk man but the smokey plastic magazines being made for the mp5 will break if you insert them on a closed bolt.
>>62787074>Apparently this was a big reason why the G3 and MP5 don't have a last round bolt hold open feature.That's insane if true.
>>62786937The black pigment added to many plastics is not just for cosmetic purposes. It makes the plastic stronger and tougher, and increases its UV resistance. Any plastic which is transparent is necessarily weaker than it could otherwise be because it doesn't have any fillers in it.
These are issued in Bong army>>62787074>lesser concern might be the enemy detecting that a rifleman is low on ammunitionThat's fucking retarded and even worse than the fuddlore 'the M1 ping told the enemy you were empty!'If an enemy is close enough to count rounds in your mag or see if your bolts held back you are probably about to die anyway>>62787329Its not

>>62789258Bold statement
>>62789268I’ve shot them both at night and the velos does better on flash which is what I really care about.
>>62789266>actual shooting Yeah like it’s a better trigger and that’s not really debatable >very cheap but not for youYeah there’s nothing wrong with it being cheap and plastic but the recoil impulse does throw me off
>>62789276That’s fine but it’s not been proven to be as rugged as the rc2, and sound suppression still matters when it comes to war fighting. Rc2 is not a slouch in the flash suppression department either.
>>62789277Better at throwing negligent double taps
