A 3-lever blued VIS 35 (no stock slot) sold at my local pawn shop for $800 last summer. I was thrilled to learn it was purchased by a new collector in his 20's instead of some Joomer adding it to his pile of 30 others out of spite.

so this has been occuring for about 16 days as of today and it has a diameter of like 10 miles. idk the manpower numbers of each side but like other anons have said if SHTF you can air "assault" everyone out of the encirclement because houthis can't into AA, especially if you rope some jets to cover you. anyways it's probably not even needed for like 1-3 weeks from now, it's mountaneous terrain and large enough/with supplies so that you can continue to fight and weaken the enemies for a future breakout. and "breakout" is loose here because war isn't color hoi4 maps and most of this "encirclement" is very...uh...sparse, because it's the fucking desert. they literally have an entire major road network still held on the north too. whoever is in there can keep fighting for a while until supplies are dry, terrain favors them. either they surrender if BTFOd or they'll evac eventually. this stuff is unpotrayable with arrows and colored maps though, you need actual unit OOBs

In WW2 in bunkers people had to bent down (like in a plane when they crash (land)), this compresses the lung and mad surviving a close by bomb explosion a bit more likely.. we got told there were some guys that wanted to appear brave and did now cower and after the air raid still sat upright but were dead, just like the guy in the pic… lung ruptured and there was that.
>>
>>65599468
Yeah, provided the solid is sturdy enough and has a good composition for pressure deflection. Everything getting hit by a pressure wave is basically exposed to an extremely high pressure impulse of excited air particles. Bodies are harmed when this gigantic wall of extremely high pressure impacts your fragile tissue that would really not rather be exposed to ΔPs of that level. Because your lungs are full of air, even if you're not in the immediate blast zone, the pressure differential will rip the shit out of your alveoli, sometimes it can even cause emboli that kill you a week later.
>>
>>65599482
Not really, mortars rely on fragmentation, there's not enough of HE filler to kill you with overpressure further away than you get shredded apart by bits of the casing.
>>
>>65599468
Correct. Iirc it's called a blast wave shadow, pretty much any substantial cover will create a "shaded" area behind it where overpressure is lower than in the open. It's important to keep in mind that this is an area of relatively lower pressure as opposed to a safe place to be though. Better than nothing I guess.

People act like .40 destroys your gun and will only last a few hundred rounds vs 9mm lasting tens of thousands when both last very long if the gun isnt a piece of shit. They also act like the recoil difference between .40 and 9 is astronomical rather than very slight, and with +p and +p+ basically non existant

Well as they say, passed a certain point you can hold so much debt that it becomes the bank's problem.

1. London restricts access to Irish finance and the UK stops providing defense and security. Instant capitulation. Mostly because nobody wants to touch NI.

2. Spain could militarily take Gibraltar. The rock becomes indefensible once you have artillery to hit the airport and harbour even if Britain had a supply route. Of course if the Gibraltarians are playing then it's going to be an absolute bloodbath on those streets.

3. Argentina can't threaten the Falklands and I wish everyone understood this. It's now too well defended against an Argentina that has had bigger budget problems to deal with.

It would be cool watching Spain vs the UK at sea but any help Spain sends to Argentina will be sunk in the Atlantic. It's just interesting because it'll be old harriers getting shot down.

Hypothetically, this is the next gun I am going to buy. I will get a suppressor for it. I want this to be a semi-lightweight tactical rifle to take to the range, do some precision shooting or hike through the woods for some long range shooting. What kind of scope should I be looking at? I've got $$$, but I want something that is quality but not too big, since I want to keep the thing somewhat lightweight. I was thinking a Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 fits the bill, but want some competitors I should look at. The rifle could definitely use more magnification, but I don't want a giant scope.

>>65601328
I know it's a heavy barrel profile, but if you compare it to other 24" Tikka 6.5 rifles they can get up to over 10lbs. I want a nice medium. Long range precision, but still a hunting rifle profile. I already have a T3 Stainless Ultralight in .308 for hunting and that fucker is under 8lbs with the 4-16x scope on it.
I'm planning to shoot it 200-1200 yards. I just want a good bolt gun with a suppressor on it. None of my bolti boys have threaded barrels.

It is sweet. Just make sure you get a Limbsaver for it. It will make you it's bitch without it. 1200 is pretty much at a range hours away. Innawoods 800 is stretching it, but 4-600 is the sweetspot IMO. Far enough it's not just an auto hit, and the gong sound takes a bit to get back, but you're already seeing it swing.

>what am I missing
Ngl senpai I don’t have any experience with Leupold so I’m not gonna pretend I’m an expert but to me Leupold is the quintessential boomer scope manufacturer.

I don’t place a super high value on anecdotal reports but there are just too many reports of unreliable tracking and failures to hold zero to completely ignore. These reports plus the fact that (iirc) none of their scopes have passed the rokslide drop test I just don’t see any reason to buy one.

When I’m buying a scope I usually want either
>best optical performance
>extreme durability + good optical performance

Everyone’s eye is different, but if you don’t need locking turrets I think the NF NX6 and NX8 lines are the best value scopes on the market.

I’ve since sold my NX8 4-32 because it was MOA and I wanted to standardize everything around MIL but (to my eye) it was sharper than my ZCO 420

I also bought a NF NX6 2-12 and a Swarovski Z8i 1.7-13.3 and again I found the NF clearer to my eyes but I ended up scratching the Swarovski and wasn’t able to return it so I ended up returning the NX6.

.30 SC as it comes would be a fine caliber in a vacuum.
But why federal thought it'd catch on I couldn't tell you.
I wonder if it started out making sense but got scope creeped by meddling suits.

Something ala 5.45×18 might not be a bad idea for a new pocket gun class caliber.
Would shortened 5.7 work? Kel-Tec's PR-57 is wasting powder at it's barrel length anyway and it would go a long way towards a more comfortable grip.
>>
>>65601469
>5.45×18
Yeah but that's another one of the 'semi-armor penetrating' bottleneck rounds, designed for a discrete Soviet purpose back in the 1960s. These and pdw-style (MP7 / P90) miniature rifle rounds aren't what's needed. In any case, those types of rounds are only effective and consisten in larger size firearms with longer barrels. Picrel
>>
>>65600735
10mm makes sense for hunting pistols.
>>
>>65601519
Well, 5.45×18 is on the very low end of the PDW type calibers, is usable in a small straight blowback (PSM), and is conducive to high capacity (Drotik)
I agree here bottlenecking is completely unnecessary.
Maybe a hypothetical short 5.7 could be necked up a little to eliminate the bottleneck.
Really I'm just tossing the idea out there because kel tec is already using regular 5.7 somewhere it's sound and fury is wasted.
I do agree a rimless .32 of 9×18 super/mak heat would be just as valid.

Funny enough, I was a picture framer for years. These metal ones are pretty easy to diy. Just be careful you don't scratch the picture (or the mat if you can help it) when you take it apart and take apart. Get the box store to cut the glass. Measure the sheet of glass if possible, if you have to measure from rabbit to rabbit remember there's about an 1/8th inch of play allowed. When you reassemble it make sure you slowly tighten each corner at the same time as it's diagonal and watch to make sure the corners are flush and fitted.
