>>65148735>Assault-tents were banned in 1987, you can't own one unless it was grand-fathered
>>65147591It doesn't work if the drone operator is human who will instantly beeline to the suspicious walking porta potty, but I guess it can fool the super rare AI drones that are starting to show up.
>toilet tent stealthAt least we know India will never use it.
>>65151857We just need a sasquatch to reach out from behind a tree and swat the drone out of the air just as the feed goes static.
>>65147577If it works, it works
Is this gun imaginary? I've never found an example of real footage of it being fired.
>you're not allowed to use prototype/obscure guns that look fucking sick because I am a flaming lala prancing homo man: the threadHave you tried rule of cool?
>>65150113This is a 600 gn 500 mag round both with and without the giant muzzle brake…. Your mileage may vary but it’s possible to shoot some truly stupid stuff if you can take the recoil…. Don’t lock your elbows… let the gun move. If you lock your elbows and fight it then your wrists try to stop all the energy and it’s gonna be a bad time
>>65153687I loaded some 700gr .500 mag for my friend. Those were such a good time we both agreed never to do it again.
>>65150436I don't remember where I read it but apparently the FSB or whoever wanted it to basically be a breaching tool, where it would be used to blow up door hinges. Its honestly the least retarded thing I can think of for it being used for, but at the same time I'm pretty sure they already have shotguns and breaching rounds that work better. Cool gun though.
>>65153804Pretty sure underwood’s are underloaded for what they are. Those 600’s are aria balistics.. put out more energy than the underwood’s are rated for. I haven’t tried hand loading 700 gn 500 mag, but I can imagine you can push it to some truly stupid levels. That BFR with the brake shooting hot 500 bushwacker is about the same level of movement as with the 600gn rounds and no brake, but the recoil feels sharper with the bushwacker rounds…. Somehow it’s simultaneously not as bad as your worried, but also so much more than you expect. It’s a fun time man.

>>65153556>Animarchy is nothing more than your standard western lib now.Indeed, and that's a huge upgrade over the being a tankie. Tankies are subhuman creatures that live exclusively on the calories attained by chugging the cum of corrupt and incompetent dictators who hate and abuse their own people.Saying he doesn't know what a tankie is, or that he applies the term incorrectly is an outright and deliberate lie.He knows what they are. He was one. And he knows that they're objectively wrong.
>>65153556>countries like Venezuela, Iran and CubaSubhuman autocrats of the brown-axis, any decent person would like to see those regimes fall

So when does Part 3 come out?
So apparently US army and marines have like a rivalry or something?how does this impact their effectiveness during cooperations?is it more of a "we are much more badass than the other branch but we understand that the others are still very important" or more of a "these guys are just hindering us in our operations by being super gay all the time all they do is suck each other off in the shower while we do the heavy lifting"Does it share similaries with the rivalry between army and navy in ww2 japan?
>>65151582>It is one of the country's eight uniformed services.So is the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. That doesn't mean either one of them is part of the DoD.
>>65145121>We were prepared to invade mainland japan with the ARMY btw not the marines.There were several Marine divisions planned to be part of that. In the landings east of Tokyo iirc.The issue isn't the Marines can't operate on their own for very long because of the logistics backbone. I'm not a military guy but my impression is that the Marines are like a shock force but after a few weeks they need the Army to go in, and when the Army goes in it stays for awhile (literally building roads and bases).
>>65152305Yeah, the nip Navy had an English-trained doctor that figured out that the mystery disease plaguing the Japanese armed forces was just vitamin B1 deficiency by simply observing that the disease was exceptionally rare or non-existent on ships operated by westerners in the same area. The only real difference in the living conditions on these ships were the diets. So he implemented a broader and more varied diet which magically fixed the health issues.The nip army refused to admit that he was right and kept their diet unchanged, leading to everyone still getting sick.Took them about 20 or 30 years to implement dietary changes, and when they did it, they packaged the change along with a bullshit story about how an Army doctor had found the REAL cause of the disease, and that the Navy doc was still wrong.>>65143103Bruh, the Imperial Navy building their own army, and the Imperial Army building their own navy isn't even scratching the surface of the insane dick-measuring.There are several recorded instances of the Japanese Army and Navy deliberately and knowingly engaging in full-blown battles against one another.There were also countless of instances of these forces taking opportunistic potshots at each other if both parties were present at a battle against a foreign enemy, giving them plausible deniability to claim that the deliberate friendly fire was actually just regular fire by the enemy.
The reluctance of scholars to retract their theories, once they've been put forward, stems not only from sectionalism but also from personal pride.The debate surrounding the cause of beriberi was due to a severe lack of understanding of vitamin physiology. The centuries-long struggle against scurvy was similar.

>>65146935Using fiber does simplify the task of hardening a drone against HPM, since you don't have to include some sort of HPM resistant radio to let the drone communicate with its operator without compromising the faraday cage that blocks both microwaves and radio (which should be doable, but would cost a hell of a lot). But yes, on its own, fiber optics do approximately nothing to help against HPM.

Do fudd style weapons have any practical advantages other than looking "dignified"? I've been looking at the accuracy discussions on some of the more popular fudd rifles and they don't seem noticeably better than what people report for their "tacticool" rifles. Am I missing something here? Are they all just e-statting and so the numbers should be ignored?
>>65063612>pic related>>65089068No, this board is slower than it was even before 22, its as slow as its been since the 00s
>>65151936>No, this board is slower than it was even before 22, its as slow as its been since the 00sI think it's slow here, but fast in the worst ways. Since 22, what I've noticed is a gigantic increase in redditors and Euros, and the main threads that stick around now are often geopolitics or non weapons related threads with actual /k/ topics being peripheries to the main topics that have nothing to do with weapons.Basically we lost good anons, and got flooded with noguns euros and redditors and that's why it's this fucking bad
>>65152275All the real /k/ OGs have left. Originalcontentguy, Hotaru Maniac, AK-tan. The proof is that even the mods here don't recognise the board's own unique culture and creations. I got a ban for starting a Payback Enterprises thread, Payback Enterprises started right here, and I get a lot of blank looks for even mentioning the old /k/ namefags.All that's left is /pol/ sockpuppets and summerfags.This isn't a board with its own users any more, it's a fucking annex of /pol/ for /pol/troons to samefag and talk to themselves.
>>65152275>post-2022in a general broad sense, this is what I've noticedalthough content- and participant-wise, the sharp declines began in 2014 in my observation
>>65151675It doesn't stop them, only slows them down. Once they succeed in banning the black semi-autos, they'll move on to the next step.

>>65151849>0:06imagine getting friendly hit from that
>>65151863>imagine getting friendly hit from thatThe fibre reel?It probably weighs about 2kg depending on how much fibre is left in it, I wouldn't want to get bonked by it from altitude but if you're wearing a good ballistic helmet then it might not hurt too much.OHSA applies to the battlefield too.Well, it literally doesn't but troops are trained and should act as though it does.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6ud71s54qM
>>65150939I think they will be Optionally Manned for a while so you can test unmanned systems at scale without being fucked if an EW counter is fielded.>>65151168Terrible idea, fibre is extremely weak and they will get run over.
>>65152021>Terrible idea, fibre is extremely weak and they will get run over.There's footage somewhere of an unarmed UGV doing donuts on the fibre of a loitering FPV to break it and defeat the FPV.
>>65152021just daisy chain the fibre optic with a drone to keep it off the ground
I do not care if theyre safe or not, i just hate how these pieces of shit look (and the rest of sig handguns really) and wish they would stop existing so i never have to see them. Something about their grips and slides just looks fucking awful, and its accross the board in all their non-1911 lines
Somehow the P365 is even more ugly.
>>65153691I like the trigger, the grip fits my hand like a glove, mags drop free as a bird 10 times out of 10, slide release actually works. Never had a stoppage, malfunction or fuck up in like 5k rounds.Oh, and also all of this was out of the box instead of after like 10 aftermarket parts from FuckHead Precision Research.I shoot it better than any handgun I own.
Oh boy our daily kvetch about Sig thread!
I had my arm twisted into being a P320 guy because I'm issued them and I was gifted one. They are ugly as sin in their standard configuration. Their saving grace is that they shoot very well and you can change the Grip Module very easily by design and that's the ugliest part. The M1811 Grip shoots better and actually looks better.
THE 226 is the only good sig. that includes rifles, pistols, etc.
I just feel like talking about them because I think they were really cool. 1/3 of them would have pikes instead of a musket, and they typically were all issued swords to use in close quarters. They also ran across the field instead of march (to lower casualties on the approach), and fired two volleys at extremely close range even by the standards of the time. Few of those shots would be misses due to the range, and they would manage to fire 2 volleys before the enemy could finish reloading, then charged with swords.I just think they're cool
>>65142933What did they use to dye their trousers yellow?
>>65148046Believe it or not, their trousers/breeches were made of leather. A bunch of their clothing was made of leather https://www.hhogman.se/uniforms-army-sweden-1700s.htm

>>65103750Looks like wood lamella. Layers of wood or wood-like material glued together. Don't inhale the dust
>>65149937It's pretty common on Southeast Asian blades in general. Maybe something about jungle climates makes round handles preferable.Here's a piso raout, a long-handled utility knife from Borneo.
Previous:>>65061000What are FRTs:Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) are firearm modifications that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly by automatically resetting the trigger after each shot, while still requiring a trigger pull for each round. They increase the rate of fire without converting the firearm into a fully automatic weapon.AR-15 is the most ubiquitous platform with the most amount of options. Other platforms have other nuances.See it action:https://youtube.com/@juiceymedia1https://youtube.com/@poorboyarmshttps://youtube.com/@printshootrepeatDistributors:https://pastebin.com/WPdrbYKyComment too long.

>>65153699no problem
>>65153611>A10 WarthogNo. The A10 going to be in frontline service by the 2035 or so, unless there's some catastrophic-scale war where the US has to pull out all the stops regardless of materiel and personnel losses. Which seems extremely unlikely.The A10s just aren't very useful by modern standards, modernizing them is insanely expensive, and most of the airframes in service are already very old and very worn.The A10 is overdue for retirement by any and all standards. It can be reasonably argued that it should have been retired just a decade into service, by that time it was already arguably obsolete for killing tanks, and not particularly good for infantry support.None of those two factors have changed since then.They're still not capable of killing any tanks made since mid mid 1960s, and they're still rocking inaccurate guns with WWII-era aiming devices.The upgraded versions with modern electronics and sights, capable of dropping modern guided bombs, cost almost as much as multi-role fighter jets, so they're completely and utterly pointless considering that the they cost like 10 times more than dedicated infantry support aircraft, which are also far easier and cheaper to operate in the long run.
>>65153630the troopers assaulting Titan Sphere 6 sure could have used them.

>>65153684Look at Ukraine for example. You have a society of men that are willing to do their duty and defend their country, but the women refuse their duties to their nation.This isn't just happening in Ukraine, but across much of the world. Be it by making the women do their duties or by circumventing the need for women entirely, a solution will have to be found.
>>65153630A-10 is saved by the same thing keeping all the other old legacy vehicles in service; attempting to make a functional replacement would result in a SNAFU on par with the Zumwalt and B1 Lancer that isn't worth contending with versus silently extending its lifespan by shoving in new electronics. We will get the A-10D, not because we want or need it, but because R&D doesn't know how to make anything new without being rendered schizophrenic by Congress.
Does your range provide lead wipes?
lead wipes for what?
>>65150914they're like baby wipes
I just lick my fingers when I'm done shooting. Works just as well as it does for cheetos.
That's called washing your hands. I swear the guys who are that afraid of lead exposure are like the people who drive but are observably scared while driving
>>65150765The range I go to is a holler that the state put a gravel road to with a sign that says "public shooting range hours dawn-dusk" and nothing else.
