Why did stick grenades get phased out for pineapple grenades?
I like to add that there existed two different frag sleeves for the stick grenade. One designed for the Wehrmacht and one designed for the SS. Information on the frag sleeves is really hard to come by, especially the one for the model 39 grenade.
Stick nades are 'offensive' whereas the pinaple nades are defensive.O-nade have a significant amount more explosive 2:1 than D-nades.D-nades rely on fragmentation while O-nades rely on explosive power.

>>65262458You know I was about to say that the only correct thing in this post is that Lenovo panels are chinese, but I went and double checked to be sure and turns out no, they buy panels from other suppliers - primarily Samsung panels made in South Korea. China just opened its first large-scale OLED production facility last week, actually. So no, your screen was actually made with Korean components, lmao.And as previously stated, you are wrong about everything else in your post too. It's really impressive actually.

why do tanks absolutely need crazy bullshit V12 diesels or gas turbines, if even the heaviest agricultural tractors still rely on inline-6 designs? granted, most of them are turbocharged nowadays..i am very stupid. to me, an I6 would have far less tooling/production costs, and servicing it in the field would be far easier. giant xboxhueg tanks aren't really practical anymore either, given modern drone developments.
>>65258628Neat, apparently a Baneblade or Leman Russ does move at the speed of an Abrams.
>>65264033Good point, in that case I can't think of a single way to lose a 2-stoke diesel cylinder that doesn't kill the engine.Maybe a blocked injector but if that's happeing your fuel is contaminated and the rest are getting blocked soon enough.
>>65264040Damn. I read Baneblade and it was pretty good. I expected them to be moving really slowly.
>>65263351M1 numbers are from manual. I can't recall where to find precise net power values of Leopard 2 anymore. Surely some of it's many operators has released them? Soviet MBTs are out there for certain.Only exception in tank diesels I've seen is the Type 10. It isn't just as powerful, but loses far less for cooling and it's transmission is very effective as well.>if you’re trying to argueHonestly I don't see enough difference to argue. Just pointing out Honeywell was trying to sell things. Besides I like generally less effective things like 2-strokes and air-cooling.
>>65258599>why do tanks absolutely need crazy bullshit V12 diesels or gas turbines, if even the heaviest agricultural tractors still rely on inline-6 designs? granted, most of them are turbocharged nowadays..They are very heavy compared to tractors.You need that power to get them moving at speed.

So the Ukies have started it. They're training UGV drone teams to do ground assaults. First the quadrotored hellspawns came and made mechanized war footage extremely sparse, now the UGV drones will come and take the infantry footage.As the source says: >"The "Khartiia" Army Corps a of Ukraine's National Guard training for fully robotic assault tactics against frontline positions using ground drones armed with Browning M2 machine guns, without any infantry involvement."Thoughts? I guess 3 M2's with "legs" and hair camouflage is a pretty fucking formidable force to charge a trench with, but situational awareness & effectiveness in groups is to be seen.Whatever the case may be on usefulness, I for one will be looking forward to the first unmanned trench assault footage.

I've spoke to a couple of gun owners about gun dreams.some report being in a life threatening conflict (in a dream). when they go to draw & utilize their side-arm, things go screwy.bullets droop out. the gun malfunctions. you pull the trigger, nothing happens.I've had such dreams on a number of occasions.I've also had dreams where I was successfully able to defend myself. Very strange.Gun owners who buy, shoot once, and let it sit for years likely do not have such dreams.
>>65255388I recently got my first kill in a dream. Usually I struggle to pull my gun, just don't have it, or throw pillow punches at whatever is attacking me. Lately, I've been getting kills in my nightmares, but sometimes I'll have a monster or a bear take like, an obscene amount of shots and just not die. Like I'm shooting pillow bullets. I remember having some kind of monster in a headlock and mag dumping a mag into its mouth. For some reason I had like 50 rounds in my 20 round mag, so I just blasted it until I woke up frustrated. It's like doing chip damage in a video game because the enemy is just a high level dude. Annoying.
>>65255388I have never had the "can't pull the trigger" dream. I usually don't have gun dreams, but of the gun dreams I've had, I've had three types from most to least common:1. I hold and inspect one or more guns that I wish I owned like >>65255449's dreams and then I wake up wishing I really did own those guns. when I was a kid, they were nerf guns I wanted instead.2. some spooky shit happens in my house, I go to my room to get a gun, I am no longer spooked because I have a gun, and then the dream ends.3. I've had only one dream where something was trying to kill me and I had a gun. I successfully drew my gun and blew it away and the dream immediately ended, no 1000 lb trigger pull or malfunction or anything like that that other people report.maybe it's because I have faith in the reliability of all of the guns I've bought because they have all demonstrated themselves to be reliable during my range trips. the gun I was using in dream #3 was a Beretta 84BB, by the way.
>>65261288>Things like that must be "visualize an apple" tier stuff. I've never had issues either when it comes up. I get the feeling people that can't visualize a real fully detailed apple probably can't read in dreams.there might be a correlation, but it's not guaranteed. I can rotate an apple in my head, feel it in my hand, sniff it, take a bite out of it, hear the crunch, and everything, but reading in dreams is very hit or miss for me. from what I remember, I can only really read text if it's important to the dream. most of the time it's just part of the scenery and even if I can get closer I can't read it. In fact, I'd say vision in general can be hit or miss for me in dreams. sometimes I have blurry dreams where I'm trying to open my eyes all the way for the entire dream until I open my eyes IRL and wake up, and sometimes I have very vivid dreams where I can see clearly.
>>65256566>1000lb staplegun trigger pullSame here
>>65255388I used to have dreams of the gun having a 10,000lb trigger pull, or not going off, or not having ammo, etc. until I acquired and have shot and reloaded extensively for a Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum.Now I don’t get those dreams as often anymore, but when I do and when I shoot people, their entire upper or lower half of their body explodes.
A common conclusion when discussing fantasy creatures and modern warfare is that basically any of them would be worse than humans using modern technology. For example Dwarfs and Elves would probably fair worse at 20th century infantry combat than humans. Similar arguments are brought up for science fiction aliens.My question is thus; what sorts of differences from humans would be advantageous in technological warfare? Let's say a WW2 level of technology so we have a standard. How do you improve on mankind?
>>65230150so just have more energy
>>65256881Some settings have Elves be much less fertile.
>>65225387it was complete not total
>>65224527>For example Dwarfs and Elves would probably fair worse at 20th century infantry combat than humansIn what way, though? Dwarves are small, tougher than humans, and generally are depicted as being technologically superior. They'd have all the wunderwaffe before anyone else, and it would actually work to boot.Elves are generally depicted as being extremely quick and accurate, so in theory, every elf regular would be a top-level sharpshooter, and their snipers would be literally unfathomable to humans. Imagine fighting an enemy that can lay down accurate fire and then do a backflip into a bush when what's left of you squad pushes close to their position.And this is all discounting magic and fictional materials. If something like Mithril or Adamantine exists, then infantry armor (at least for elite units or filthy rich militaries) is going to be way more impactful. And magic has so many impacts and variables that it's difficult to even begin discussing it.

Oh shit anon, you are the commander of USSOCOM and the President just called you asking you to put together a hostage rescue operation.Situation: an hour ago, a terrorist group disguised as dockworkers pulled up to an Ohio-class nuclear submarine in port in Bangor, Washington, killed the guards, and took the sub and its crew captive. They are demanding $1 billion in cash and guaranteed passage to a port of their choosing. The sub is armed with its full loadout of nuclear missiles and has a full crew of 155 personnel on board. There are between 20 and 40 terrorists, armed with small arms, suicide vests, grenades, light anti armor weapons (AT4 and equivalent), FPV drones, knives, and C4 blocks. There are 5 guards outside the ship and the rest of the group is inside. They have given a time limit of 4 hours from the time they took the sub for their demands to be met, after which they will start executing crew members. They have also demanded to be allowed to leave on their own vessel, which they state is en route from somewhere out in the Pacific.A witness reported seeing the terrorists loading specialized tools and electronics aboard the sub after the initial capture, including oxy torches and lead-lined boxes. The terrorists also seem to be nervous about something inside the sub.Time is ticking. Who do you pick to be on the operation and what's your plan?
>>65254963>>65255062Nuclear weapon security would be of a top priority, if the boat was taken all armed personnel (all weapons issued on base basically) at the base would be assaulting the sub dockside before the DOD decided to outright scuttle it with all hands.A broken arrow resulting in 60 empty quivers? DOD would destroy the entire naval base to stop that if they had to. You'd have the base commander scrambling any docked surface ship crews to get deck guns/ordnance firing into that sub before the base gets bombed to kingdom come - losing nukes is not an option.
>>65254963EasyOhio, meet Toledo.
>>65264680Shoot, you said in Kitsap, and an actual SSBN, not SSGN. So;>Pennsylvania, meet Scranton.Tucson or Santa Fe firing on Nevada orGreenville firing on Kentucky would also be humorous.
>>65254963I give them exactly what they want, let them get on their getaway boat with the billion in cash, then as soon as it gets a safe distance from shore I remote kill the engine and release the nerve gas cylinders planted aboard, and send a CBRN equipped squad to capture them all.
How did they kills the guards and get onto the sub? If you lined the crew up single file with knives, you'd be able to stop 20-40 men coming down the ONE easily accessible entrance point. They also have some small arms on board. It used to be 1911s and a few M16s, but idk what they supply these days.
