is this bullet just a meme?is there any reason to use this instead of 5.56 or 6.8?
>>65384697Sounds more like they're talking about the cops.
>>65384705Is that why they're talking about them affording second hand market shit? Because I don't think they are and they genuinely believe burglars are breaking in with ceramics. If it's cops then they don't have to worry about that either considering a swat team will fold any /k/ cum cookie eater.
>>65384708Sometimes the cops blow all their money on new patrol cars

Whatever happened to railguns? Are we really bottlenecked by propellants/missiles?
>>65387055Which is reasonable, considering their main use case is incepting Zircons or YJ-20s; and when your target is flying at mach 8; settling for a mach 6 projectile just for the sake of barrel life just isn't good enough.
>>65387674> and when your target is flying at mach 8; settling for a mach 6 projectile just for the sake of barrel life just isn't good enough.You aren't in a tail chase, you don't have to be faster than a projectile to intercept it. What makes you make that claim? That isn't to say velocity isn't helpful in interception, of course, but a mach 6 projectile could absolutely be good enough.

The coolest part about the f35 is that you can have another plane use your sensors fixed for its firing solution and nobody ever explains that well, when they say sensor fussion they just say its about putting your sensor conbined data in your helmet when it does for every plane in the squadron.Nobody ever mentions this part, its always about heckin stealth instead
That is pretty cool, thank you for clarifying.
>>65388048>the coolest part is [word salad]That's why people just talk about the stealth anon
>>65388051>sensor>fusion>squadron>"word salad"Fucking grim admission right there. Are you the same guy from last week who insisted that reddit spacing was necessary for people to be able to comprehend more than 3 sentences at a time?
Let me start by saying I'm actually fairly pissed about this. Singapore isn't a trusted ally that we know is going to defend GCAP design secrets and they're way too close to China's sphere of influence. Many seething Australians on /k/ have already been sounding the alarm since the US decided to sell the F-35 to Singapore as they believe it compromises Australia's air defense to China. While the US can afford to replace the F-35 with something new in 20 years Australians are going to be stuck with them for at least 50.
>>65384580>GCAP is never going to fly yet alone come up with a viable sixth gen competitor to NGAD and F-47.Other way around bucko.GCAP will be the world's ONLY 6th generation fighter. F-47 is going to crash and burn as a result of Boeing's incompetence and NGAD will run out of money.The US, Germany, and France will have to buy monkey models from Mitsubishi.
>>65385978France and Germany have more experience with fifth gens than the GCAP partners (UK, Italy and Japan), where none of the companies involved (BAE, Leonardo or Mitsubishi) have any experience as part of the original JSF design program or assembling F-35s locally
>>65387881>"experience">of being a customerhaha, looking forward to seeing those french and german sixth gens somewhere in 2050
>>65385978They'll buy NGAD because eurotrannies can't make good hardware to start with, stick to attaching bottlecaps to bottles or pushing dystopian Internet surveillance laws

>>65386088It's not even that its the effectively cloistered ultraorthox who have kids, the libtard jews in Israel have shit birthrates. The only sizable 10M+ population I can find in any industrialized nation which breeds at above replacement rate are right wing whites in America an the more right wing the higher the birthrate, between 2.3 and 3.3. All the other population like the hasidim kike and the amish survive by segregating themselves from society. Mudslimes and other darkie populations suffer immediate birthrate decline upon industrialization or when immigrating to and industrialized society. The the weakling suseptable to hedonism are dying off rather than breeding, some populations are insulated form modernity but that cannot last or if it does they will be politicaly and militarily irrelevant. The ultraorthodox kikes are massive net fiscal losses for israel and rely the secular heebs to protect them.Really only the cruel hateful rural whites of America are thriving in modernity because unlike everybody else they are just immune to its negative effects. Their birthrate hasn't change for a century. https://gssdataexplorer.norc.org/

>>65373159There was also a drive to create a unified EU army separate from NATO during the 2000s that fell apart, iirc because they couldn't agree if it would be more French or German oriented. If they had gone through with it it would have centralized the union much more.
This is a thread dedicated to discussing anything and everything related to the OG American Army. What they wore, what they ate, how they fought, what they fought for, you get the idea.I guess I'll start the discussion with what might be a silly question. How many on the Patriot side actually served for the entire duration of the war? Like, if you were serving in the Continental Army at Yorktown in 1781, what were your chances of encountering a survivor of Lexington and Concord, or Bunker Hill in the ranks? Was it common or did they have a constant stream of newfags coming and going? Eight years is a long time to dedicate your life to a cause at the expense of everything else, and must've been even longer even back then when you had half the average lifespan of a person today.
>>65381178samefag, This clip of George Lucas is a good example of what many Boomers and Gen Xers genuinely believed about military conflict. Due to various popular misconceptions, they thought that any professional Army could be defeated by farmers and everyday people with guns if they had enough determination.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HDJyAapsLJw

>>65382458Refused to join the rest of the 13 Colonies owing to their only very recent annexation by Great Britain
>>65381061Your average American can, at best, name five major engagements of the Revolutionary War>Lexington>Concord>Bunker Hill>Trenton>Saratoga>YorktownOf these, three took place in the opening two months and were exclusively fought by Minutemen (the Continental Army was only established on paper three days prior to the Battle of Bunker Hill), the fourth was fought almost exclusively by the Continental Army, the fifth saw extensive participation by Minutemen in the initial engagement and is widely regarded as the most critical battle of the war, and the sixth had nearly half of the Americans present be members of the Virginia Militia (albeit did not participate in the fighting and were used as a rearguard).In short, militias were there for the very first and very last engagements of the war and thus got a disproportionate amount of the attention and the glory and largely overshadowed the Continental Army, which spent most of the war fighting the lesser-known battles.
There really is no beating the sleek italian chic of a 92fs
>>65373681Never understood the hype around Beretta 92. Probably the most overrated pistol. Not sure if that is just Americans who seem to love it so much but it's super unimpressive pistol from my experience. Aesthetically it's a 7/10 at best. Just look at the safety placement on that bitch. Looks odd as fuck. Aesthetically I dont think anything beats classic 1911. Second spot goes probably to Hi-Power and 3rd to CZ75 Short rail in my opinion.
>>65375069was that engraved with a fucking pickaxe ? Looks crude as fuck.
>>65383784>Beretta 92Nice pistol for the first decade of its existence, the astroturfing began in the late '80s after U.S. mil adopted it as sidearm (and it also began feature as a movie prop handgun) and now it has a fanbase, hint-parallel: During that exact same late-'80s / 1990s timeframe Glock was being force-marketed to U.S. police and sheriff departments.
>>65387767>Nice pistol for the first decade of its existence, the astroturfing began in the late '80swell yeah it didnt have any real competition for the first decade. cz75 technically existed but were extremely rare. hi powers held 13. s&w and sig 9mm were still singlestacks.you wanted the largest capacity doublestack in the 70s early 80s its the 92.
How does /k/ view glocks?
>>65387043I suspect that some people just don't have enough time behind the gun and jerk the trigger rather than roll through it.
>>65387048For me it has a lot to do with the grip, idk not many people are that sensitive to grip size and shape but I am. I think the Glock grip angle in general is good, but it's a little too blocky and the trigger guard too small so my finger ends up dragging along the inside of the trigger guard when I pullI shoot a PDP much better, but it has a better trigger in general of course
>>65370547^glocks are fine broke niggas need to expand past 9mm 21SF cop trade in30 Slim because it was cheep
>>65370017And the P-10 is mogged by the PDP and VP9, what of it?Glocks are fine.
Which was objectively better?
>>65383574>From the perspective of the State, getting a fixed, calculable sum twice is vastly superior to running up and down the countryside, pissing everybody off and having no idea how much cash the whole bother will ultimately even yield.>Mind that economic inequality was much more stark and the ruling class naturally had limited their institution's ability to tax them, which was an issue addressed by tax farming in a limited and roundabout manner through the auction and the winner's personal liabilityYepwhich is why I could not resist posting that. tax farming wasn't "stupid", it was a good solution to a major problem and was elegant enough to basically evolve into feudalism, for centuries if not millennia
>>65378440I'd say the chainmail outfit but I am partial to scale armor kind of like the kind some soldiers in the late Roman Empire had.Image is of Athanaric, Gothic king loyal to the Germanic pantheon who fought against the Western Roman Empire and his rabbi-worshipping former friend. Image came from the Asatru Folk Assembly.
>>65379596It is, but making a lot of tiny rings is a lot less capital-intensive than making large sheets of steel that are uniformly flat and free of imperfections, and the labor is either done by slaves or can be done a little at a time by peasants in their free time (most farm labor wrapped up sometime between noon and 2:00) instead of having to actually set aside the time to pound a chunk of steel into an even sheet.Also, Lorica Segmantata would have to be done by skilled or semi-skilled laborers. You can figure out how to knit and rivet rings in about a half an hour (drawing the rings is slightly harder, and slightly more capital intensive, but you can still make do with a smaller forge, and smaller, lower quality ore than Lorica Segmantata)remember, prior to basically the last 300 years, labor was never a serious cost compared to capital. Getting a new smithy built to make plate is hard, finding a few extra hundred peasants and slaves who are willing to be paid on a per-item basis is easy. Trivially easy.

Sure is a shame that absolutely no one saw this coming. Giving America's Finest unbridled access to fully automatic (yes, that's what it is) rifles sure was a great move, wasn't it? As if ammo wasn't already expensive enough already, and as if you, a "second amendment enthusiast" even had the courage to use your guns (fully automatic or not) to defend your supposed rights or your community anyway (you don't, because chances are you've been complying with the NFA since you first learned of its existence), and as if fully automatic weaponry was even a force multiplier in the way that people imagine it to be (compared to something like thermals/IRNV, for instance).What a mistake these things were, and what a heavy price we will all end up paying. The fact that Rare Breed is legally obligated to enforce their patent and isn't allowed to make pistol FRTs is just icing on top of the great cake of gun owner humiliation.
>already walked it backtypical online engagement . OP fell for it like a a puppet on strings
At least we can all agree that the “FRTs are good because they show machine guns are common use so SCOTUS will repeal the NFA!” fags are retarded.

I hate how every take on doing shit like patrols in a SHTF/civil war/fucking whatever situation are all based on US doctrine which derives itself from Vietnam era stopgap non-solution solutions rather than taking inspiration from forces who actually fought asymmetrically like the PAVN from the same conflict. That is all to say, your fighting load should be able to sustain you for 12-24 hours with no pack and 36-48 hours with a pack. ZERO rucks used ever, and logistics being conducted via caches and conducting logistical release points in a clandestine way i.e. doing a dead drop. This idea of "living out of your ruck" is so fucking stupid it blows my mind that nobody questions it. >inb4 Let me just go ahead and set up an infantry regiment for the boysAny serious discussion involving SHTF where there is active fighting comes with the implication that there is organization. tl;dr a fighter shouldn't be expected to have more than a fighting load on at any given time and the thought of bringing a ruck beyond a safe area or assembly area just shows the severe lack of planning in regards to logistics.
>>65385181>Realistically, unless you live in a properly big city, or somewhere in immediate threat, 90% of shit will not change for you. Most people do live in big cities. That's why they're big cities.
>>65385183Most people live in normal sized cities. It's only the really big fuckhueg places like Bejing or Tokyo or NY that'll have real issues about food, internal gang subcultures overpowering government forces, and the like. And even then, the really big fuckoff cities are the places with the most manpower, resources, infrastructure and materials.It's just as likely that, in the event the world devolves to citystate warfare, that the local megacity immediately goes out to conquer its area via manpower resource superiority and need to conquer to survive, as it is to starve to death because 'muh city-slicker urbanite can't survive in the wild'.

What to combat veterans think of press correspondents?
>>65387201>This dude?That's the one. Our company had the west side of the city, and by then had it locked down pretty well along the main routes. He went to a different company working the east side and the brad he was in got hit by a deep-buried IED. Pretty sure it killed the entire crew and the dismounts in the back, along with the Russian.Had to babysit a female reporter before that, and she was an annoying liberal cunt looking for scenes of American hopelessness and cruelty, and when she didn't find any, she made it up in her article. Reporters are supposed to be the "watchdogs of society" by reporting on those in power that exploit that power. Instead, reporters are little more than the guard dogs of those in power, protecting them by pushing false narratives and lies to keep us all misinformed.

Is there any use case for a laser sight on a edc pistol?I think they're really cool but if they have no purpose then having one would just be larping
>>65385963I'm blind as fuck without my glasses. My nightstand pistol has a simple grip laser because I can see well enough to flash a target for ID but I legitimately can't read the sights at arm's length. >>65386487>Why do you have a pistol setup for home defense? An AR-15 is the far better choice, plus bunkering in your room and calling the copsI live in a ban state, in a city where cops have been repeatedly busted trafficking evidence guns, inside a cramped house with 5 corners between my bed and the door, and more than 10 minutes from the nearest cop-shack. I also have a kid, so my hardware has to be extremely positively locked up. It was much easier and more comfortable to build a pistol safe into my bed than try to sleep on my rifle or secure a wall locker in arm's reach.>I was asking if a laser sight lets you do anything you can't without itTheoretically? No.Practically? It gives you a *much* clearer idea of where your first bullet is going to go in the fractions of a second you have to decide whether or not you're going to pull the trigger. It'll tell you when your follow-up is back on target. When you're shooting naked and half-blind in the dark in the middle of the fucking night while not tripping over your retarded pets/children and wrangling a strobing light, you will absolutely appreciate the extra layer of reassurance. Point-shooting a couple inches off-plane may not make much of a difference to the upstanding local astrophysicist whose lungs are currently entering orbit, but it can make a hell of a lot of difference where the bullet winds up afterwards.
>>65385963I don't believe in the point shooting justifications, but I can say from personal experience that when a sketchy nigger sees a laser dot on their chest they lose their aggression and back away. It may be worthless as a weapon improvement but it's amazing for avoiding the paperwork that would come with using the weapon.
