>>65322632Australia isn't an island retard
>>65322965We already did that with the L85A2. Design was fine, just needed to be made out of decent metal instead of the tinpot shit the MOD wanted for the A1.The imitation version is lighter, so Americans can carry it for more than 5 minutes without collapsing.

sorry argies, but we sold (bought?) our soul to the brits, if they want to sell more leftover ships I will happily accept it

could japan have downed the enola gay if it had german flak and briiths proximity fuses?
>>65325664With ninja majic.
No
>>65325664Japan already had the 15cm Type 5 which was better than the German 12.8cm Flak 40. They had 2 deployed and shot down 2 B-29s the first and only time the US conducted a bombing mission in their area. Really the sole issue was that they didn't have time to build more, but Japan was perfectly capable of killing B-29s with domestic flak guns
How come 7.62x39 bullets are only ever 123 or 124 grains?
>>65325069more confusing to me is what is the real difference between 1 grain?
>>65325768feng-shui
>>65325069Case volume leaves limited options for fitting longer bullets?
Why are non-russians so reasonable?
>>65325913Yeah but why not lighter bullets
if the germans were really so starved on fuel/synthetic oil by late '44, why did they opt to keep fueling up u-boats with tons of it (even if they were sitting ducks at that point)?
>>653221951. they used different boat fuel that was in abundance.2. The only hope of winning the war was taking back the atlantic so it was a non-negotiable endeavor even if suicidal or wasteful.3. Germany had no idea that enigma code was broken and that the allies had developed advanced sonar technology and sonar guided weapons that made German u-boats completely obsolete so they always had just enough hopium to keep shoveling resources into the Kriegsmarine
>>65323479They knew about sonar. Duh. You could literally hear it. (See: Das Boot etc.).
>>65325859they had no idea about ADVANCED sonar technology like acoustic guided torpedos were being deployed against them.
>>65325910They had acoustic guided torpedoes of their own and were aware the allies had them too (also they were shit, maybe 1 in 10 actually hit their target, and they were available in very small numbers). What killed uboat effectiveness wasn't sonar or torpedoes or Bombe (it took it ages to decrypt a message, good for strategic purposes but of limited tactical value), it was long range patrol aircraft equipped with radar good enough to spot a snorkel or conning tower sneaking up for air. Which they were aware of too but it wasn't like they could do much about it. Attempts were made at coating snorkels in radar absorbent materials and "flak trap" uboats covered in AA guns were dispatched to surprise allied aircraft, but neither were very effective.
>>65325924>they had their own acoustic torpedosthey were effectively countered and one time a uboat sank itself with one>they were aware of the allies using them against themliterally not true, the kregsmarine was completely unaware of the existence of the Fido >it was a shit weapon and didnt workit was the single most reliable anti uboat weapon of the entire war at 18% hit per warhead launched and the US had to reduce the production order of these weapons due to them performing so far above expectations.I know you think you are smart and trying to UMMM ACKTUALLY but you are in fact retarded. I'm not opening this thread again, goodbye
Arena-M active protection systems seen on a few recent tanksT-72B3A in this case
>>65325514ngl, I love how ~75% of the comments on the latest vid (at least when I saw it) were just dunking on him for that ad. I'm not going back and giving it another view to see how things are now, though, because if he's gonna pull that bullshit then he's not even remotely reliable as a source.
>>65325781Yes. The Soviet stockpile is gone. Russia's tank force died in the fields of Donbass, or if you want to be poetic you can say that it died trying to take Kharkiv.Honestly, I'm surprised they are still using tanks near the front. It seems they have a serious EW and AD deficiency, too.In gaming terms, this is the death spiral.
>>65325823Yeah, that ad has hit a number of creators. It just feels like a 100% scam.
>>65325834Because it very obviously is. Still, it is nice of creators to mark themselves as unworthy of attention in such an obvious way.
>>65325855jokes on them, nobody is getting any ad money from me
How did the Chinese manage to lose so badly against the Indians in this regard? The Indian Air Force is larger, more advanced, with higher readiness, better training and supplies, even more operational experience. This is baffling to me because whenever i think of the PLAAF I think of one the most advanced, high tech stealth fighters and super fleets of aircraft. As it turns out, even India is mogging them.
>>65325427Shittiest copypasta on this whole godforsaken website.
I don't know what's bigger, China's delusion about being better than the West or India's delusion about being better than China.
>>65325375I would like to see the microscopic war that would happen. Imagine being that super bio weapon that was engineered in a level 5 secret chink lab, extracted from aids infected bats after it was injected into a gonorrhea ridden pangolin. You're some big dick chimera mutant ready to infect and wipe out billions. You enter the Ganges and are immediately assaulted by eldritch abominations you can't understand, flagella wrap around your body and begin to drag you into the digesting mouths of writing amoeba like monsters.
>>65325375They did go to war. Multiple times. In every instance, China won but (understandbly) refused to march into India.
>>65325799China's doing one better right now. They are throwing treaty and international law to the wind and diverting a couple of rivers up in the Himalayas for irrigation projects there, in Burma and in northern China using some mega aquaduct. If I understand the geography of that river, this will impact eastern India and Bangladesh.
discuss and post pictures of submachine guns
>>65280291Extremely pleasant to shoot but it really is heavy. Not like the MP40 isn't though, thing weighs almost as much as a FAL
>>65245328Holy shit panzer arms is still around?I.thought the shitty 12ga AR shotguns would have done them in.I guess a 9mm PCC is the next logical conclusion...Well, does the washed up russaboo Steven Seagal sell it for you?And ignore that other anon, they're a fucking retard.
>>65320935With their Russian connections, Panzer Arms is certain to win the next US small arms tender.
>>65314299I went onto boomerbroker to see how much mags for these things are.They are hundreds of dollars per magazine. The original Reising mags, not 3rd party aftermarket ones.Kinda makes sense as these gun have been out of production for 60+ years, but yeah you would think there would be more of an aftermarket for them.After reading about them, I think they cool, but I don't know how cool they would be if they weren't the cheapest transferable machine gun out there.also checked>>65321099>U.S. military ditches the M17/18 and goes back to 1911s and M9s.I can only hope so. Even Turkish clones would be an upgrade at this point.
>Fail to protect the Shi'a>Fail to bring Saddam to heel>Allow Iran to set up shop in Iraq>Major cause of the GWOT>Directly cause the Iraq War
>>65320992>implying that wasn't intentional
>>65323689Thank you. Thought it likely to be unrepaired Gulf War damage.
>>65320995huh, my 22nd birthday
>>65321076>End of my dump.
>>65320992>Fail to protect the Shi'aGet over the illusion that the US ever intended to protect anyone. During the 1980s, when Saddam was his most brutal, he had complete US support. During the 1980s, the CIA was lauding his efforts integrate the Shia, despite the Dujail Massacre and execution of Shia clergy. Once the threat of Iran exporting an Islamic revolution subsided, Saddam stopped being seen as useful to the US and Israel. Saddam also turned his aggression from Iran towards our Jewish masters, but that's another story.>Allow Iran to set up shop in IraqIran didn't set up shop in Iraq until after the US invasion. All of the major Shia insurgent factions in Iraq weren't formed any earlier than 2003, with many of them forming in 2006, during the Iraqi civil war. Naturally Iran started funding these groups simply because they protected Shias and their holy sites.The war against ISIS also allowed Iran to consolidate power in Iraq. But the rise of ISIS can also be blamed on the US failure in Iraq.
How did Japan manage to take the Philippines when the US had more troops than the invading Japanese forces?
>>65323765start with wikiif you haven't at least read the Wiki articles and then gone on to read the references read within those articles, then why are you bothering us?

USMC $5k FPV Drone
>600-700 dollar drone max with a 5 grand payloadlol, lmao they should just make a shaped copper charge or use cheap steel bbs on the cheap and be done with it.
>>65322142Drone price is written in op.It's $2000
>>65322142>just make a shaped copper chargeThey made such (EFP) warhead see op. Costs $2915 total while C4 explosives of this warhead costs $70...
Looks like its just a FPV drone, no target tracking in the terminal stage.https://youtube.com/watch?v=rge0u9BYqQsAsko question for drone fags. Is FUTABA T16IZ SUPER good?
>>65322135Kek
I would like to inquire why they have gotten so expensive? I have quantified it could be for the following reasons but want to hear your thoughts:>general price jumps in guns/ammo>older generation wanting to get as much money as possible before getting rid of their stuff>vendors assume haggling will take place so inflate price>laws and legal behind guns
>>65325523Boomers fucking up gun shows is one of the most unforgivable things of all... if I hadn't seen a ton of them gloating about fucking over their family in their wills. This is not "market sucks bro".
>>65322517I don't understand it at all. The online Boomer hate is usually annoying spam, but >>65325523 is right and something caused that generation to worship the chase of the "good deal" to the detriment of everything else. It's fun being into both guns and cars, because the "I know what I got" stereotype is 100% real and it makes no sense to see a person on death's door still desperately trying to extract every last dollar out of a sale.
>>65322687>>65325523I can't wait to overcharge you faggots and all no gunz loser faggots just like you!
>>65325535And you too... this is capitalism. Welcome to fair market value. Unfair? Don't buy, bitches.
>>65322179all the good deals happen the day before when the vendors are setting up; the public gets the overpriced dregs.
The main problems on the modern battlefield that new military has yet to come up with an answer to is the SO portion of SOSRA; suppression and obscuration. One can no longer just suppress adjacent units and enemy artillery with their observers and obscure fields of fire with multi-spectral smoke to breach through enemy defenses and expect to win the engagement. Offensive small drones, ISR drones and satellite ISR combined with the fact that every jackass has a smartphone who can instantly post on the internet makes breaching operations borderline impossible. How does one suppress and obscure drones, satellites, smartphones all while plowing through hundreds to even kilometers worth of minefield belts just to even reach the enemy defensive positions, much less close with and destroy them to allow follow on units to penetrate through the lines? Everybody mocks both Ukraine and Russia on how shit both are fighting the war bragging about gaining dozens of meters at a time at best. Honest question, how the fuck else would you do it? How could you on the modern battlespace?
>>65323480>muh maneuver Nobody demonstrated better.Israel advances in Lebanon at snail speed , hit by fiber optics drones constantly.USA flat out decided to not engage in ground war with Iran. And for good reason , Abrams tanks having no anti drones defenses aren't gonna pull out Desert Storm again (USA was forced to abandon green zone in Baghdad not be able to defend against quad drones even fortress).
>>65323668>hit by fiber optics drones constantly.the fiber optics have not stopped them going anywhere they want, simply produced random casualtiesArmies used to have a higher percentage of casualties from diarrhea than the IDF has taken from FPV drones
>>65323696>the fiber optics have not stopped them going anywhere they wantIf advancing 1/4 mile per day is what you want (unironically WWI tempo).
>>65323704They are advancing carefully into complicated terrain to minimize casualties, they are not having their logistics destroyed and maneuver elements helplessly picked apartThe IDF is experiencing much much less casualties than in previous wars where they advanced much faster and bolder using mechanized forces over stretches of desert or whatever
>>65323540>drones used to call for artillery fire against Russian parade formationNot the best example.

>>65320367I like this guy's writing style. I'll have to keep an eye out for that book at sales, thanks anon.
>>65320521So do Eastern Europeans just like Buffalo Bill or something
>>65324871Tokwalker's Tokarev pistol has a .38 Super barrel, which is a rare aftermarket item, and I presume that cartridge has precious little presence around Eastern Europe, even in the countries where people can actually own cool guns.I mean, maybe you could go find the caliber in some Polish or Bulgarian gun store if you looked around long enough, but it doesn't feel like it'd be common there, and a replacement barrel for a surplus pistol in a very American caliber like that feels like a very American market product. If any Polack, Czech, or Bulgar is shooting .38 Super, he probably does so with some sort of 1911 race pistol in competitions, which is where it'd make sense, an old shithouse Tokarev would be a poor choice for it.
