I'm came really close to buying a mini fix.
So glad I didn't. A coworker had one and let me shoot it, and I just couldn't justify the price for the quality. There were just too many issues that I had with it. The issues were just part of the design, not even a QC problem.

How did naval combat work in medieval days, before the advent of cannons? Were they firing arrows at them, ramming each other, what?

>>65488276
Well, I don't know how true this is but my history professor in high school (cool guy) said that Romans sucked at fighting naval battles until they found out they could make naval battles ground battles by making their ships into battering rams with the rostra and boarding fuckers with the corvi around the time of the first Punic war.
>>
>>65498385
>Wrong era.
My main point is that the term Man-of-War doesn't designate a specific ship. Modern media (that assassins creed pirate game and Blag Flags) applies this term only to the large ships of the line and galleons whereas a frigate with in total 20 guns would also be classified as such.
>Possibly, I don't remember it too well, that would make sense design and heritage wise.
Pic rel. The galleys got wider than their ancient counterparts, they forsake the stacked banks of oarsmen and the front became a platform for artillery.

Good questions. All 16th and 17th century depictions of galleasses show them with rectangular forecastles.

The only depiction of a galeass with a round forecastle I could find comes from a 1906 book that questions contemporary naval history.

I know youre trolling him, but, why do people imagine that a 12x10 plate in the chest will protect them like a HALO energy shield? Chances are that youll shred someones lungs, shoulders, arms, hands, etc making them incapacitated at fighting back... and this is ignoring the fact that a single pellet could still hit the neck, jaw, head and lights out.

And with a shotgun... aiming at the head becomes a much more doable proposition at the right distances. Personally I'd aim at the neck so that pellets hit anywhere from right above the armor/clavicle, major veins/arteries, neck, spine, jaw, and as high as the cerebral cortex.

If I was a swat dude, the LAST gun id want to face with a holed up intruder, is a guy with a 12 gauge, especially a semi auto one. At least with an AR15 he needs good shotplacement or luck. With a shotgun his shotplacement and luck have a wider margin of success even with a smaller spread at room distances
>>
>>65497754
Im not saying that ar15 isn't the most optimal pick for home defense, im just trying to figure out how to get most out of a shotgun if it is all you have, i guess.
>>
>>65498294
>I know youre trolling him, but, why do people imagine that a 12x10 plate in the chest will protect them like a HALO energy shield?
They don't. This is a weird strawman. Also it's 10x12, nobody calls a shooters large a 12x10.
>Chances are that youll shred someones lungs, shoulders, arms, hands, etc making them incapacitated at fighting back.
Rule of thumb is an inch of spread every yard. Measure the hallways in your house. Shotguns do not sweep rooms.
>and this is ignoring the fact that a single pellet could still hit the neck, jaw, head and lights out.
or it's not a CNS hit and drugged up fucker keeps fighting until exsanguinated. Read up on Dr. Fackler and Dr. Gary K Roberts' works on terminal ballistics.
>If I was a swat dude, the LAST gun id want to face with a holed up intruder, is a guy with a 12 gauge, especially a semi auto one.
If you're a SWAT dude you'll be in full rattle with vest, deltoids, neck, helmet, face shield, and probably an actual shield which will laugh off buck.
>>
>>65483429
same but I also have an ar15, ak47, revolver, a modern handgun, and the mav 88 for the shotgun.
I just spent the rest of my budget maxing out each gun with the best possible mods and practicing with them.
I don't even like practicing with them all that much cuz of the concussion of firearms but do it at least once a month as a chore.
>>
>>65497931
>the kills look like suicides.
kek, like they're just going to walk up to people and push your own gun into your mouth and pull the trigger because carrying around several pounds of kit gave them super strength, and nobody notices all the extra bullets and shot residue covering your house.
Good satire. I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting you actually believe what you say.
>>65498294
People assume it works like games and movies because they have no experience with anything more real than games and movies. Full plate mail was defeated by just fucking bashing their head in through the plate, that kinetic energy has to go somewhere and they can concuss you into dying without ever actually piercing the shell.
But as >>65498416 said, the advantage of shotguns in home defense is not spread.
It's actually raw force and the way the pellets interact with each other in the moment of impact increasing the severity of the injury.

So Iran has threatened to or actually did fire their hypersanic missiles multiple times already and apparently caused zero damage. What's the deal? I thought these magic missiles were going to obsolete carriers and change warfare forever.

Hypersonic is a term used rhetorically to invoke the idea that it achieves that speed in the terminal phase, thus making it difficult to intercept. Thirdies used that perception but conflate it with missiles that achieve hypersonic speed at any point in its flight path.
>>
>>65487258
Cringe.
Making missile go fast to limit engagement opportunities is good.

But making missile go fast was never the limiting factor. How do you guide it? Especially how do you guide it when your target is an aircraft carrier that does 30 knots? Even IF we're talking about an actual sustained Mach 10 hypersonic missile fired from 1000 miles away (which none of these so called hypersonics are) that carrier can move 4 miles in the flight time.

These are hard problems to solve and I'm tired of pretending they're solved because the speedometer on a missile in Siberia hits a big number while it falls from the sky into a wheat field.

>Could it be fixed with a better extractor?
No, because the bolt is made out of fucking plastic, and it both moves way too fucking fast and has way too fucking short of a throw.
Also even if it cycled reliably it would still be a really retarded pistol with comically awful ergos, manual of arms, and trigger, and the underbarrel concept isn't any less clownshoes.

>Also why did they get rid of all of their tooling for the normal guns?
The notion was that the Zip-22 was going to have such a good profit margin, and be such a good idea, that people just HAD to buy it, and they would make their money back so they could buy back their old tooling.

So USFA goes out of business. Bye bye to nice Rodeo revolvers.

well to put a long story short, this specific problem won't do much in the moment, but it's emblematic of just how much AI has improved in the past few years
basically, if it keeps improving at this rate, and eventually begins to do similar improvements in biology and material sciences, the US will exponentially explode in terms of scientific capacity and output

I suppose this excludes most of the interweb as of 2026? Swear half the search results for nearly anything are AI slop generated by a jeet marketing company, with an Amazon affiliate link buried somewhere on the page in hopes the user will accidentally click it.
The quality of search results is massively improved by blocking anything made after 2024 or so.

Wish there was some effort to filter out this subhuman garbage, but I suppose that effort would get overwhelmed quickly by AI bots, too.

There were wind tunnel models.
IIRC:
The thing obviouslky can't go supersonic, but the swept back wings work well into the transopnic regime (they are what the Sabre and MiG-15 wings were based on).
Directional stability was not great due to the relatively small Vertstab and overall stubbiness of the aircraft, and the T-tail comes with obvious limitations.

Given that it was teh very first single jet fighter concept, it was pretty solid. You can see the lineage in the Sabre, MiG-15 and Tunnan.
