>>62747259Almost got my hands on a bunch of genus male a few years back, one day I'll go for it.
>>62743376It's so much more useful than you might realize. Imagine not needing keys for your own stuff. Like your key could get lost or tossed but you don't give 1 fuck.
>>62747747Yeah but I'd rather not have one of my keys floating around for a nigger to pick up. I get what you mean though.
>no military industrial complex>limited technology transfers from outdated Russian hardware>most of their weapons are copies of foreigner design >no combat experience/field testing for the weapons they haveAll they have is a large budget

Has anyone played with the chink aliexpress smersh special and how do they hold up compared to the sso ones?
>>62744864Why bother? Just get a PLCE. But I probably have more Aliexpress shit than most Brazilian airsofters, so I can guess that the knockoff SMERSH would be decent. Expect lopsided stitching and a few loose threads, but usable quality.Anyone have a home defense belt? I'm thinking of buying one of these to convert the knockoff GBRS belt. https://www.ebay.com/itm/116025358189?And getting >>62742641 to replace it
>>62744948>Just get a PLCENTA, but this is a based idea. I'm putting together a belt rig with suspenders right now, using American surplus for almost everything, and at first I was considering going the more ALICE inspired buttpack route, but decided that GP pouches in the back made more sense after watching videos on YouTube about the Brits' webbing kit and similar belt setups. You can actually buy surplus PLCE rigs for pretty cheap on eBay.>Anyone have a home defense belt?Yeah, but it's a fully pimped out Blue Alpha Battle Belt Lite with Esstac and Flatline Fiber Co stuff on it. I picked up the grippy padding kit that Blue Alpha sells, so I can use the belt with or without the inner belt.That Lindnerhof belt actually looks like a fantastic deal. Thermoplastic composites like CURV and Tegris are super lightweight but very rigid, which makes carrying weight on them much better than typical old scuba webbing belts. I've got 2 Glock mags, 2 AR mags, a dump pouch, an IFAK, a 16oz Nalgene (not always on the belt), a G45 in a Rapid Force holster mounted to a Guardian Warrior Solutions Bang Hanger, and a second CAT on my Battle Belt Lite, and it carries the weight extremely well. Tegris/CURV belts are where it's at for battle belts these days.
>>62745325I originally bought the knockoff GBRS because it's made with imported Tegris. But unfortunately they only included vertical Tegris strips, versus the real one which has a ladder design with Tegris running vertically and horizontally. Works fine with a Tegris inner belt, but not ideal. It's this one. >>62691607
Bumpin'.
Whats the s/k/inny on these? $350 for a .357 revolver that ISNT a Taurus sounds pretty good. I know Zastava AKs are pretty well made, so i imagine these are made in kindBut surely theres a catch…
>>62745299I had picrel about 20yrs ago. It wasn't the highest QC, rough edges and machined surfaces, rubber grip had a tendency to slip off before I glued it on. But it went bang every time. Back then, they were like $250-300 new. No idea what they are actually going for these days.
>>62745269>>62747510>those tabs
>>62745299Shit, forgot to check em. Picrel>>62746247See >>62747510Side note, I don't recommend a .357 snubby in a low light or close quarter environment. Might as well have a flash bang go off at eye level.
>>62747533Don't judge me, I have a midget fetish, chkd
>>62746241Grips are unique, as far as I can tell. The screw runs through a hole in the grip frame, and the locating pin is in a different spot. It's possible some Smith or Taurus grips could be adapted but definitely not drop-in.Dan Wesson HKS speedloaders (3A) work fine as well as SL Variant K-Frame & L-Frame, which are fairly flexible and tunable, (my favorite speedloaders, though expensive). Couldn't find my HKS K- or L-frame speedloaders to test. Chamber spacing seems to be closest to Dan Wesson.
>>62744376I think this is my favorite gun of ever. That or the Beretta 38A. I would trade all my guns for either one that hasn't been broken by the ATF. Well, maybe not my PPK, can't exactly concealed carry am MG-34.

>>62745157lol
>>62744999Iran lacks the electro-optical technology, they'd have to beg China but I'm not sure if China wants to defend nuclear proliferation in Iran or anywhere for that matter (just Iran's oil and gas production, which wouldn't even be targeted by bunker busters).

There is nothing good about it, not one good thing.>b-but it sold a lot!McDonald’s sells a lot.Capeshit movies sell a lot.Popslop sells a lot.Sales are NOT indicative of quality, and to argue as if they are is an indication of your own intellectual shortcomings. Shartich fails in every aspect to deliver what the Steam Deck did. It also falls short of the PS4, which, like it or not, is the true successor to Japanese consoles. And, for what it’s worth, mid PCs have far better specs. There’s no excuse for Shartich being the way it is.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

What's the best AR setup if you live in a AWB state?
>>62747353A normal AR-15.Free men don't ask permission. Anyone in a gulag state is capable of manufacturing a lower receiver from an 80 or 3d print. FCGs and uppers are easily available on the secondary market.If you're worried about getting caught with it, don't be. If you HAD a ban-compliant rifle and you needed to use it, the State *will* fuck you regardless of whether or not your shoot was a good or bad shot. So why bother twisting yourself into knots about compliance

Anon's seem to form two opinions when it comes to how engagements are waged in war:>Circle gets drawn on a map and infantry just bum rush towards it>Everything is meticulously planned with infantry tactics mirroring a more open form of closed formation fighting from the Napoleonic era with battle drills and formationsBut often times when listening to stories told by veterans who fought in wars ranging from WWII to Korea to Vietnam, it often comes down to small ad hoc groups of men seemingly making up courses of action on the spot just to fit in with either the commanders intent or whatever they think is best just to survive. As if an entire frontline comprising entire divisions on paper are actually just countless small fireteam to squad sized groups of men trying to unfuck the situation and figure out on the spot what to do next, all in the moment. No real planning or complex schemes of maneuver, just them figuring out what to do on the spot.My questions are, how common does that actually happen where the situation gets so fucked that it really just boils down to a sort of large open formation modern day form of melee combat with guns with small ad hoc groups just going "I guess well do this and see what happens". And my second question is, from the perspectives of guys who've actually seen some shit, what individual skills and tactics are actually useful in combat and how combat actually happens from the perspective of being a fighter, not the perspective of a guy looking at a map and pushing unit markers around.
>>62743630I've always wondered how dynamic or planned missions are. Like if you're going out on a patrol, would a platoon just occasionally bump out fireteams or squads to perform short range reconnaissance patrols or just keep walking until they get hit? Or if an attack was planned, how much of the actual maneuver is sort of preplanned and how much is made up in the moment.
>>62745780I hate to say it, but it depends. Sometimes it is a deliberate operation with prescribed assault positions. Even then, though, the on the ground individual movements of the Soldiers are dictated mostly by terrain.For a lot of the regular patrols basically everything is METTTC dependent. If you have the time and resources to kick out some patrols, then do it. If your mission is to do something else, then don't. The leader on the ground (at least in the US) has the ability to make that call.
>>62745377a division has 3 brigades under thema division wouldnt even think about individual platoons for maneuver unless that platoon in particular had a 155mm guna specific frontline feature would likely be held by at least a company
>>62740018>the side which practiced its "Napoleonic" tactics the most winsWhat do you mean?

>>62747337Did you even read the article? This is just another type of DIRCM. It does exactly what the name says: it jams IR-guided missiles, which is especially important now that the best IR missiles lock onto blobs of pixels in a FLIR rather than going after the greatest heat source in view, rendering flares largely ineffective. It doesn't hard-kill anything at all.

Why would the MIC create easy to use fire and forget kamikaze drones for the West when janky garage tech exists? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEXI6r08908
>>62745282The drone flies itself boomer. Only thirdies and slavs manually pilots military drones.
>>62745307the switchblade also felt more like it was for VIP elimination and not general combat use.
>>62746044Operator still needs to detect and ID targets looking at video feed by himself. Therefore quality of the screen is important for operator.
>>62745005Because janky garage peeps don't pay enough money to peeps in power so their garage stuff gets noticed.
