How many wars are generally classed as "Pike & Shotte" wars? The English Civil Wars and the Thirty Years' War are the obvious ones, but are there any others which are considered to have been fought that way?
>>64390146Practically all wars in western europe from 1500 to 1700 were characterised by pike and shot formations. In addition to the conflicts already mentioned itt the Italian Wars, the War of Devolution, the Cologne War and the French Wars of Religion and the Polish-Swedish War are other noteworthy examples.>shotteAlso what's the deal with this particular misspelling of the term "shot"?
>>64391889Because it sounds 'ye olde'
>>64390146Arguably the Burgundian wars. The Swiss used Pikes but I don't think they used massed guns yet. Following that you had the Wars of Burgundian Succession because the last duke of Burgundy got his ass killed in the Burgundy Wars. That was most definitely a pike and shot war.After that was the Italian Wars and the Reconquista, a whole lot of Spanish kicking around natives, and Denmark trying to conquer the North.
>>64390146The Scanian war, which I only know about because I have a board game about it (Nothing Gained but Glory).
>>64392436Random related fact: Despite these wars ending nearly 400 years ago, the term "Snapphanar" (a plural from, vaguely meaning something like insurrectionist, literally meaning "snap-lock shooters") is still frequently used as a derogatory term for Scanians, since they're still (mostly jokingly) seen as disloyal half-Danish mongrels. -T. SwedeAnd despite 400 years passing since these wars, the damned Scanians still speak borderline incomprehensible half-Danish dialects, which sound like they're speaking with their mouths full.

They also wanted a small form factor so they can conceal them in bags so the folding stock was a plus. And because it's a newer system it could be easily adjusted for subsonic rounds to be used with suppressors.
Picked this beaut up today. Excited to take it to the range. Need to order some .327 for it.
>>64389782At a certain point with cast bullets it’s all pretty specialized and the grain weight of it is what sets the price. If you compare 71gn 32 cal bullets with 230 gn 45 cal the uniqueness of the round isn’t gonna offset the fact that you get 3 bullets of the smaller for every 45 cal….

Hello, /k/. I've got a rather weird question. Chlorine gas, the stuff you get by mixing bleach and vinegar, does not just suffocate you, but also passes in through your skin and kills you. But what happens after? Does it just stay inside the body or evaporates out? What I'm getting at, let's say I have a very large chicken that was killed by chlorine gas, and stayed in the cloud for like half an hour. Can I eat it? Maybe I can leech out the toxins by soaking the meat in water? I really need an answer on this one
>>64392175The entire reason you cook meats, is so that you kill whatever bacteria or disease is in the meat (though I'm not sure it applies to tape worms), so you could in theory eat (not eat out) a well-done hooker corpse
Don't worry anon. Your poor chicken died as the chlorine gas reacted with moisture in its lungs, forming hydrochloric acid, destroying the lung tissue. Good news for you, the meat has effectively neutralized the acid, the chlorine reacted with some sodium to rock salt or calcium into calcium chloride, both safe to eat in moderation.Enjoy your chicken meat. No need to add extra salt, already done.
REMINDER:Not your woman?Not your concern.Have fun OP.
>>64392254>Imperfect/residuals do not existYou could be doing these reactions in a glass beakers and get other products.
>>64392324Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid anyway. The byproducts in the poisoned chicken are the same as those happening in your digestive system when you eat the meat.
If all subsonic rounds are going the same speed, what does it matter which caliber you use? Wouldn't a subsonic 30-30, 7.62x39, or 300 blackout be terminally different if they're all going at the same speed? Or barrel length for that matter?
>>64386280In the days of black powder all rounds went the same speed.To make a gun more powerful you had to increase weight.This eventually lead to the 4-bore.Smokeless powder changed all that.To your point, weight is what you want in a subsonic but not only weight. Smaller diameters are easier to suppress and longer rounds tend to have aerodynamic and cross sectional density advantages. You're also seeing crazy things being done with bullet spin rates causing terminal effects. So, no they are not all the same Beyond that, weapon platform is a consideration with rounds like the .300 blackout being easily built into the standard AR giving better modularity and making market share easier to gain, meaning it is more likely for the ammo supply to remain stable.
>>64386280Force is a quadratic with speed, if speed is equal force is linear with mass.A 300 grain projectile at 320m/s has 7.5x the impact force of a 40 grain. One is hitting enemy like a hammer swung at inhuman speed, the other like a pencil
>>64386280F=MxASo if you have more M you get more F even if A is constant.
jesus christ anons>>64391624>Force is a quadratic with speed, if speed is equal force is linear with mass.You're mixing up "force" with "kinetic energy", but yeah KE increases linearly with mass. Momentum also increases linearly with both mass and energy.>>64391628The only acceleration bullets experience after leaving the barrel are gravity and air resistance. Force isn't one of the equations involved in terminal effects.
>>64391628more like p=m·v and E=m·v2
I recently bought my first AR-15 and I'm trying to mount a traditional style handguard. Does this mounting system not work on Springfield Saints? I'm very new and have no clue what's goin on. Please help : )

>>64383303noskirmishers are an essential component of infantry tactics that hardly anyone talks about. part of Napoleon's tactical brilliance was the en masse use of skirmishers. the British Rifles were in fact Wellington's extension and further development of this. and later on, the Prussian reforms which in part led to the victory at Waterloo were a copy of these initiatives, which had been proven effective on both sides in the Peninsular War.>>64383309it was probably done in the heat of the action; no doubt it's hard to stop and look properly which end of the cartridge one is biting open, in the panic of the volleysalso today we really REALLY underestimate how retarded Napoleonic infantry were>>64383958>linear warfare only seems nonsensical to people in current year becausethe Dunning-Krueger gap in current year is wider than ever before>>64384559>Aubrey Maturinyou know nothing Jon SnowComment too long.

>>64391738>the reason why these armies were willing to put their forces under British command is because they acknowledged that British tactics and infantry were superior, idiotThis. To give you an idea of the poor quality of Spanish troops, at the Battle of Talavera the Spanish contingent panicked and fled at the sound of their own gunfire. Yes, that bit in Sharpe's Eagle is a real thing that actually happened.
>>64391796that was a particularly extreme example that demonstrates how bad the Spanish troops were, on top of the many other all-Spanish battles that frankly are embarrassing to read aboutoften the infantry, whether of any nation, would fire randomly at nothing, wasting their shots, and then break and run. (as told by eyewitness accounts.) that was simply the poor quality of the average joe soldier at the time. hence why infantry who did not waste their shots, and stood firm in the line of battle, like many British infantry, were considered exceptionally good.(unlike many nations' conscripts including French, British infantry were professionals, usually poorfags who joined for the pay and loot. truly the "scum of the earth". but given training and experience, they eventually make better soldiers than conscripts.)still, IIRC four Spanish battalions firing at nothing and then flee was an exceptional low point in the Napoleonic wars

I'm a poorfag that doesn't and has never owned a 1911. I don't want to pay over a thousand for a 1911 and I don't want kimber slop. For a couple hundred more I'm under the impression the only competetion is entry level springfield/colt. I'd rather use that extra money on ammo.I don't care about posting pictures of pretty guns on reddit for updoots or larping on /k/ all day about what I own that I never shoot to impress a board full of people that either don't own guns or also don't shoot.Is this gun reliable?

I don't often see threads here about purpose built impact weapons that aren't edgedHere in Texas we can legally carry brass knuckles, expandable batons and sap gloves, as well as most all types of knivesI have guns and otf knives too, but point is that's not your only option hereWhat do anons think about sap gloves, brass knuckles, blackjacks and batonsI personally think they are all based and slept on for self defense
>>64379029I was an LEfag and in cuck states like MD and NJ, an ASP baton would be the same charge as a concealed handgun. I do keep one in the car since you can’t always start blasting but nothing says you have to resort to fisticuffs. If you carry any such weapon you should at leas find some basic training so you can articulate what you did in the case of legal problems. Even a small collapsible baton is handy when closed for closed fist strikes, sternum jabs or tail cap strikes.
>>64381415Forgot to add the reason LE moved from the polycarbonate PR-24 to collapsible steel batons is they were getting killed in lawsuits because the poly batons leave lots of nasty bruises but no real injury while a steel baton will just break bone and look much less nasty.
>>64383870I will hear no more of this Hebrew nonsense. If you could read the bible has specific mentions to trannies. Deuteronomy 22:5 and Genesis 1:27 if you're interested.

Sap gloves are very effective if you're an experienced puncher. Don't buy them cheap, cheap sappers will fuck your hands up.

I have lived in Japan for a few decades, and I am thinking about buying a gunto bringback, because I can appreciate the provenance behind them. Is there a place /k/ recommends for obtaining such swords?Picture sort of related.
>>64391504Per my previous post, I'm interested in it for its history, not as a weapon.
>>64391480look at auctions, honestly
>>64391480>Is there a place /k/ recommends for obtaining such swords?It's a bit of an odd request because Japanese sword collectors/appreciators tend to look down on them as junk. They are by far the cheapest and least respected of all Japanese blades. Asking sword nerds where to get one of those is like going to a classic car show and asking if anyone knows where you can get a rusted out 1984 Datsun.Now the good thing about that is that people rarely bother to fake them as happens with nicer swords. I couldn't tell you if their prices are fair or not but I've seen many gunto at Collector' Firearms.
>>64391480https://collectorsfirearms.com/72-japanese-swords-fittings-and-firearms/Collector's is probably the largest gun store in Houston. Half the store is modern stuff, the other half of the store is basically a museum with price tags. Fun place.
>>64391480You should check on Militaria websites, I've seen one that I usually frequent that had some from bringbacks with provenance, those sights will be you best bet to find a gunto bring-back>>64391719 Unfortunately gunto's are staring to get faked as well https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/19914-fake-type-95-nco-swords/
