Are they more than that now? Maybe an autistic clone correct build is, but a basic MR556?

Just checked gunbroker and they're under $4k, even the buy now prices, but you're still paying enough to buy you a good .308 a 5.56 rifle.

act for a second the laws of war actualy matter, and you care about PR.
would it be lawfull to have a spiderweb attack like ukraine did but directly go after the pilots and mainteinance personel that takes more time to train than a plane?
there are also some bases that house the family of pilots on site, would it be a warcrime to launch a EARTH SCHORCHER 3000 missile on the base or can you warn them before hand and tell them to surrender somehow

Blowing up an entire air force on the ground has a shitload of military benefit. You're referencing saturation bombing which hasn't been a real thing since the 60s.

A lot of this shit happens every single war, but you only hear propaganda blowback when someone fails opsec.

You know, this makes me wonder how military bases in population centers square with the convention on certain conventional weapons's incendiaries section.
I'm guessing unless you badly miss and hit a lot of shit well outside the base it's probably fine.
Also, iirc thermoberics aren't covered under it. Maybe it matters if it's the full on gas cloud kind or the some powdered metal shit added to the HE kind

IHL mainly cares about "distinction" and "proportionality." Distinction means only striking military targets. Proportionality means the force used is not excessive relative to the military value of the target.

The real problem is there are massive gray areas. Obviously, countries are going to have their own definitions of what constitutes a military target and what is a proportional response. There are some international law cases that delve into this, but they aren't binding precedent, and essentially impossible to enforce.

For your example, deliberating droning the pilots and mechanics directly supporting war machines attacking your country almost certainly satisfies both the distinction and proportionality prongs. You're going after military combatants and an FPV drone is probably the most targeted means of hitting them.

For your second hypo, it might be okay or might not. You're probably fine on distinction, it's a military base and therefore fair game. What's less clear is proportionality. You'd want to think about the military value of the base and the available means to degrade its effectiveness. If you could achieve the same military effect by using PGMS on particular facilities, but instead elect to use a bomb that's also going to incinerate all the family barracks, that's probably not okay. But that's nearly impossible to prove ex ante. Unless there was some kind of smoking gun saying "we can 100% take care of this threat with lesser means" a commander is going to have a lot of leeway, especially if the base is extremely valuable. Flattening a strategic bomber with the FIGGER NUCKER 1488 is more proportional than using it against a random border guard training facility.

Simple. Remove any and all unnecessary flavoring or nonessential luxuries from the ration. As a member of the armed forces, you are not a person, you're a piece of meat who will follow orders, and you WILL eat what is provided to you.
Soldiers should be provided with universal rations similar to Nutraloaf, with additional calories and nutrients added as needed to provide the full complement of daily nutrition. This Nutraloaf ration should be made as cheaply as possible - the average prison meal, for example, is designed to cost less than $1. By reducing daily meals down to Nutraloafs, we will be able to significantly reduce the costs of feeding our armed forces. This will provide us with spare capacity and funds so that equipment may be purchased and donated to places such as Ukraine. They need shells and Bradleys far more than peacetime troops need ice cream and jalapeno cheese.
Nutraloaf rations should be made as tasteless as possible. The goal is not to make it taste bad, just bland. This will prevent overeating, which will satisfy the additional goal of eliminating obesity within the armed forces. There will be no more Meal Team Sixes, not unless they are willing to eat multiple tasteless and bland nutraloafs.
By removing luxuries such as candies or fruit drink mixes or sauces and condiments from the ration, we will also be able to simplify the construction of this ration. With a single highly-preserved universal Nutraloaf as the sole element of the ration, we will be able to eliminate packaging and further reduce costs. This has the added benefit of totally killing off ratfucking. There will only be a single universal item to eat, so there will be no picky eaters.
A hungry enough soldier will eat anything, even a vomelet. Ignore complaints. Once hunger sets in, they'll eat the Nutraloaf.

Soldiers are there to fight, not feast. We should feed them as such.

My 60 would run great for about 100 rounds and then it needed a full cleaning because it would get so fouled up. My 10/22 just fucking works, I've run 5-600 rounds through it in a range trip without issue related to cleanliness or lubrication. The 60 is sexy, I'll give it that, but I'd rather have a 10/22.
>>
>>65197924
Go around to your local gun stores and pawn shops and such and find yourself an old gill gun. The "click clack!" is fun. I have an old Savage Model 7. The marketing of the era said you could put a 1000 rounds through it without cleaning. I tested that one day at the range and ran 1000 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity through it. Somewhere between 850 and 1000 rounds I hand a handful of feeding issues. But no failure to fire or failure to eject. Other than that it ran flawlessly. Easily a sub 2MOA gun. Maybe more accurate with nicer ammo, but I own it for fun, not competition. And if I had to press it into service as a hunting rifle, it would get the job done.

22 mag size is unlimited in long rifles unless the same mag can be used in a pistol, or some shit like that. Nobody really knows, not even the police. So anyways for the 10/22 you are limited to a 10 round mag because of compatibility with one or more of ruger's pistols.

Desu, shotshell reloading is far less forgiving than normal metallic cartridge reloading.
I loaded 148gr hollowbased wadcutters seated to length backwards with my normal charge of HP-38.I think it was in the 3.8 Gr normal charge but that bullet seated that far really worries me and I don't think I want to grenade a cylinder or destroy a revolver frame. it's amazing how many non trash guns have tripled in value since 2020.
My forever Regret purchase was a 10Ga Browning BPS mirror Blued with engravings, walnut stocks, and IT WAS ONLY 600$ AT THE TIME.

>shotshell reloading is far less forgiving than normal metallic cartridge reloading
Really? To me it seemed pretty forgiving. the difference between a soft plinker and a hard banger is like 1 grain in a pistol. I know I've overcharged shotshells by like 1.2 grains before and never felt it.
>it's amazing how many non trash guns have tripled in value since 2020.
Old guys with big beards and big bellys always ask if I was ever interested in selling my smith, I always say no but getting an easy ~$700 is always tempting.
>I don't think I want to grenade a cylinder or destroy a revolver frame.
Do you think mine are bad? I tried to load it pretty conservative, middle charge and the pill is seated about half length.

I meant like you can't just throw something together with shotshells, you've got to pay mind to the construction type of the shells, and the wad, and a follow a strict recipe.

It's extremely weight dependent. Also a dose that provides near instant incapacitation while likely need an antidote administered, or at least CPR or an Ambu bag.

Why use tranquilizer lmao. Use PAVA, use pain to incapacitate. Pepper spray and pepper balls use this exact principle, a dart is just a better way to inflict it on the target.
A blowgun is enough to get a sharp dart through even leather jacket and skin, a CO2 rifle could be accurate at a relatively long range, though the projectile is subsonic.

Has anyone found a way to jerry rig any modern filters to work in those masks?
23 replies and 4 images omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>65198524
I'm sure you can 3D print an adapter for widely acailable filters
>>
>>65198524
With normal gas masks that have threaded filters you can get an adapter which is sketchy enough because it could potentially create a compromised seal. With cheek filters that gets even more sketchy. It suffers from being horribly inflexible with filters in terms of size/shape. Installing and changing the filters is also a pain. Cheek filter masks in general just plain suck.

I suppose you can make an adapter to attach an external filter but then why not just wear a mask that is designed to use an external filter in the first place. That would work much better.
>>65198539
Market and liability. Making proper modern gas mask filters is expensive. Old gas masks are cheap because they are military surplus where a bloated defense budget paid for them years ago and they are too old to be trusted today, plus the filters were made with questionable materials typically providing better than nothing levels of protection back when they were fresh which they aren't nowadays.

You rip your hair out making a pack of filters for that old mask today and not only will they suck, but they'll also cost hundreds of dollars per pack retail, nobody will buy them because nobody wants to spend 5x what they paid for an old cool looking gas mask just to get modern filters for it, and you'll need a massive profit margin on every filter you sell in order to afford business insurance for the inevitable lawsuit once some idiot tries using your filters with a leaky old mask to make meth in his bathroom and burns his lungs.
>>65198686
I've worn an M17 and it's not bad for how old it is but not that much better than an M9.

Just enjoy the old cheek filter masks as collectibles or costume props only. Don't try to actually use them for anything. Sometimes it's perfectly fine to have a thing because you think it's cool and looks interesting rather than having it serve a functional purpose as well.
