only retrograde I would bother with is a 590a1 which is the same price as an m37 brand new. the m37 is all steel and there is a company that makes the bayonet lug for $150... You're not really spending much deeper going with the real deal... the lugs should fit any 12ga barrel but you could hack down a Winchester 1912 or a savage 620a for something historically accurate and both of those can be had for under $1k last time i looked.

An M37 is not a real trench gun.
A trench gun is from WW1.
Which are absurdly expensive.
M37 is cool but not good if you actually want to throughly enjoy shooting it.
590A1 retrograde you get modern build quality with the ability to repair it without a smiff (literally the most slaw jawed sister fucking hick can take down a mossberg)

No welded extractor arms, no obscure M37 parts, no bullshit and you aren't limited to lead shot either (as is the case for 90% of old shotguns) so you can go hunt birds with it.

Since my country (Argentina) will acquire Strykers and NZLAV III's, how are they performing in Ukraine or just in general? I heard that the model is very damn successful, even if the original hull couldn't withstand IED's or mines, but that's been fixed.

Wouldn't be surprised a lot of this is going to get covered by the US, since apparently Milei is the only leader who doesn't have a bad case of LATAM brainrot (even if he's a unironic lolbert).

Only if you speedread it. I said it was a jumping off point, it lists some research you can then examine for yourself for a more complete understanding.

>>61492191
Did you even read it yourself? The only section of the article relevant to handgun projectiles was when it cited the Le Garde-Thompson Tests that proved larger-caliber bullets were better at creating permanent wound cavities and stopping charging threats. The rest of the article is about the wounding properties of rifle projectiles like .223 Remington.

Technical question : why don't we have auto turrets ? Or even better, auto turrets mounted on land drones ?

We have ballistic computers for missiles, artillery and even lasers but I don't remember seing any for automatic guns. Imagine a computer firing bullets with next to no reaction time and 99% accuracy on long range, aiming at anything moving in its line of sight, is it that hard to do ?

Modern computers can easily take in account distance, windspeed, recoil... Even predict human mouvements with AI models. So what's the hold up, why do we still use human infantry missing 95% of their bullets.

you literally fell for the propaganda. nuclear winter was straight made up to prevent the cold war going hot. this isn't even debatable, it's fact. you just consoomed what you were told, and never questioned it beyond that. there were uncounted threads by nukeanon about all kinds of resources to research it, but yeah, it's everyone else that has brain rot, for not just being irrationally afraid of the ol spicy rock.
>>
>>61492148
its like the peak oil theory, it was made with the circumstances at the time in mind. if every nuke back then was launch and hit every nuclear power station then it may have affected Earth's temperature, just like if we had continued with the exact same oil technology that we had back then we may have ran out of oil. the problem with both is that they didn't account for advances in technology
>>
>>61492148
Different anon, one problem is that people can't tell if you're serious or a 'moon landings were faked' nutcase. The other problem is that of perspective. Assuming a long term power grid collapse, that means 90% of the population dies over the next year or so, for some people that's it, game over, unthinkable, for survivalists it means their life just started for real.

>How naive lmao
the amount of time and effort to upgrade an M60 with composite armor, a new engine, totally new electronics, and just replacing all the decades old parts would be close to just buying an M1
and it would still be worse than an M1

the effort is simply better spent on upgrading M1s to modern standard
especially when theres still a backlog of thousands of M1s they have to go through that would be a higher priority than the M60s

Ukraine has been getting a small but steady supply of more modern western arms. If shit truly hit the fan and headway was made by the vatniks in western Ukraine we'd probably see the M60 and Leopard 1 starting to head to Ukraine, though it seems unlikely it will come to that.

It's also silly because US and NATO hardware also has issues in Arab hands. But when that gets reported it's always "they just don't know how to maintain it because they have retarded conscripts working on them."

And this isn't wrong, but they want it both ways. When Western hardware has issues in third world hands it is the third worlders messing it up. If the same thing happens with Chinese hardware it is the hardware itself.

No doubt that even if we saw the Patriots get massacred in Ukraine you would hear the cope of "they aren't using it right, the Slavs are subhumans," and indeed they have said this for some underperforming hardware. So literally no evidence counts as a deficit for their stuff.

So to answer OP's question, they will debt any of it is good until we see US carriers smoking with missile damage and videos of F-18s burning, diving into the ocean. And even then they will blame the losses on DEI, wokeness, minorities, etc. It's a culture that can no longer fix itself because every problem is due to somebody else.

Just look at the Ukraine aid. It's fairly obvious exactly who caused the six months delay and why they did it, but anyone who supports that side absolutely refuses to see they have a problem. It's always someone else. American political rhetoric is like this too. It never says "hey, you need to tighten your belt or make a sacrifice," it's always "you should be able to consoome more and it's only evil people stopping us from unparalleled greatness."

They can still coast on their old advantages but they lack all awareness of how much like post-Soviet Russia they really are.

it depends on the dynamic between platoon leader and platoon SNCO, so know that there may of course be differences where you are, but in general:

SNCO oversees execution of orders, that means managing equipment, its distribution, maintenance, and keeping track of consumption. It means making sure the personal is healthy, anyone sick or injured is first a problem for the SNCO. Also managing platoon resting area (sorry english isn't my native language, this is the closest translation i have) is an SNCO thing.

Anything related to planning, is a commander problem. obviously that includes formulating a plan and revising it. Briefing the squad leaders and maybe the entire platoon is the commanders job. Personell management is the platoon commanders job, like making sure the troops have the relevant traning for their positions and they it is not out of date.

Again, this all depends on the personality of the platoon commander and SNCO, but if you want it in as broad trams as possible: Coming up with plans and procedures is the commander job. Ensuring that troops cand and do follow plans and procedures is the SNCO's job.
