What kind of weapons (CBRN is lovely this time of year) yould you develop to use on an enemy state which has the effect of ruining the people of that land.NOT blow them all up (second prize). Not make the land ufixably fucked. Simply to make the population either dumber or birth a bunch of defective babies, so that in one swoop your enemy is 100% disabled as a population going forward.I think carpet bombing flechettes of lead/mercury could do some good work here. Engineers can do a lot to remediate that afterwards.I'm not sure if radioactive steam cloud generators would really work out, neighboring states likely would object somewhat.I don't think you beat an enemy state util you beat the underlying society and you do that by just DNA chokeslamming them.Unless anyone can think of air burst birth control?(Propaganda commie horse shit campaigns and psy ops not allowed, this must be a weapon)

>>65551123Turn everyone into females. Use aerosol spray bombs to target dense population areas. Genetically modified virus that completely fucks with person's genetics and body, forcing forced estornisation of gonads (or whatever the terms are). Effectively over the span of a year, all males are rendered sterile, and develop all the secondary female sexual development signs. Over the secon year, though agony and pain, their male reproductive parts get remade via mutation into female reproductive organs. Over the third year, they become fully functional. This process is irreversible, and any action taken to eliminate this virus in host's body results in host dying.

>>65553501Anon, what is it with you and posting furries here? Is that one Mexican too?
Can anyone explain the phenomenon of people adding an additional 3lbs of weight to every rifle they own in the form of a big zoom scope and a bipod? It gets even more ridiculous when you realize 90% of the US population lives in a forested or an urban environment, neither of which call for these modifications. What are they actually doing with these things? I am one of the rare people on this board who actually shoots their guns, and I have never needed a bipod, and I have never needed a 3x prism scope for anything. The guns these guys are bloating aren't even PRS guns.Is it a lack of skill in shooting due to poor trigger control? Poor eyesight maybe? Or the worst option, just plain old "consume product"?Leupold even discontinued all of their fixed-power scopes because these people retardedly believe they're not good enough or something.
>>65547502what percentage of the population lives within that circle
>>65553801The person who said that FPSs teach you to use ironsights is a moron, but a shooter needs to know jack shit about sight radius or aperture sizes when using iron sights. Even holds aren't something you need to know if you zero your own gun - whatever you think is the "correct" way to place the sight (probably center hold) will be what the gun ends up zeroed for.
>>65553801>What's the difference between a 6 o'clock hold, a sub-6 hold, and a center hold?One is where you fucked up zeroing but don't want to admit it, the other is when you fucked up zeroing and tried to fix it, and center is when you actually zeroed the sights properly
>>65553823Higher than one would expect since they included the Ohio river valley, Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, and Texas.At least 20-30%
>>65547482>Can anyone explain the phenomenon of people adding an additional 3lbs of weight to every rifle they own in the form of a big zoom scope and a bipod?When I built my AR10, I put a fuckhueg Vortex and bipod on it because I live in the expansive mountains of the American West.

>>65528007isn't going crazy fun ? Losing your mind is so fun, especially when you start seeing shit, don't need no boardgames when the mind can entertain itself
>>65528007I have my mom's chessboard, some board games, card decks for solitaire, gun mags, books, Commando Comics and Donald Duck comics to last a lifetime. I even have cassets and CD's, if my players and those survive. And if everyhting else falls, my teddy is with me.
I'm going camping out in Colorado / Wyoming I understand that Co. passed a bunch of Commie magazine and rifle laws there recently I'm flying in from Florida and was going to bring a rifle or pistol but I see everything is 15 round limits and yall in Co. Need some kind of license, can anyone translate this for me ? Can I bring my AR or FAL into Co ? or will I ended up getting anal blasted by the state ? Also, I'm guessing whether or not you want to be caught with a rifle in a national forest without a hunting license there ?Being in Florida, the WMAs will pretty much charge you with poaching Any /k/ommandos in Co give me a quick run down ?
>>65547803Blue state exodus ruined states like Colorado.
>>65552690It was always a blue state in my life. But the homogenization of the Democrat party into the “fuck straight white Christian male” party has been particularly adverse to my interests as a straight white Christian male. Used to just be old school liberal hippies and feckless rich people in the mountains but they filled up all the flat parts with 2 million Mexicans the past 30 years that will vote for anyone blue so more Mexicans can come in.
>>65552720Are there any mountains states that aren’t entirely cucked or at least won’t be for the foreseeable future? Montana and Idaho seem to be blowing up
>>65552751WV. Enjoy the toxic drinking water. WY if you get in quick but don’t expect it to last any longer than it has. Surprised it’s lasted this long. Easy state to get two free senators. Only’d need to dump like 300,000 Mexicans to flip forever.
>>65552763Mexicans are already here, even fucking Torrington is bean nigger land. The invasion is in progress and they are now also managing through the winter somehow. Faggots in CA moved to CO and now the COfags are shitting up WY but it was a good run. The alternative would be an eventual race of inbred rez kids adding PvP to our PvE server out here
what is the practical limit of a grenade launcher for something akin to a Mk 19 or AGS-40?40mm always seems to get used, but why 40mm? why not 50mm?the length is generally the same too, with the exception if the VOG-25 (which is caseless, adding to it's length)

>Key Inefficiencies & Design Limitations of European crossbows:>Prod Material & Inertia: Early European crossbows used dynamic composite bows (wood, horn, sinew), but the late medieval period shifted heavily to steel prods. While steel was weather-resistant, durable, and suited for mass production, steel limbs are exceptionally heavy. Their high mass means significant energy is wasted accelerating the limbs themselves rather than propelling the bolt. Making the bow longer to increase draw length was impractical due to extreme rotational inertia at the tips, locking European designs into very short power strokes (typically 5–6 inches / 130–160 mm).>The Revolving Nut Trigger: The European mechanism relied on a simple rotating nut restrained directly by a long sear lever. Holding hundreds of pounds directly against the sear created heavy friction, trigger resistance, and wear. Organic materials like antler and bone were often preferred over metal because their lighter weight reduced the rotational inertia required to flick clear of the released string.>Contrast with Chinese crossbows>Ancient and medieval Chinese crossbows employed standardized, three-piece cast-bronze mechanisms. These internal linkages acted as force-multipliers, slashing the hold-weight at the sear down to roughly one-sixth of the total draw weight. This eliminated wear and allowed delicate triggers to control long-drawing, highly efficient composite war bows mounted on stocks, allowed powerful bows being used without the need of complex spanning mechanismsIs Todd correct?:https://youtu.be/T65cNwY2wTc

>>65553361not as big of a retard as one that thinks he can just wish mongol cannons into existence to cope with European artillery inventions.
>>65545753That doesn't really make sense. It's not like European crossbows were peashooters and Chinese crossbows were railguns by comparison. European designs were slightly more inefficient, but it didn't stop them from punching holes through the most protective armour in the world. Maybe you could say it contributed in some tiny, insignificant way by virtue of being harder to manufacture, but the crossbow and handgonne crafts were entirely separate with only the tiniest bit of overlap, so it'd have almost zero effect on the guild/apprenticeship model of Europe. Ultimately, the vastly numerically superior Chinese produced a few good designs, but stifled iteration in favour of ease-of-production and stagnated, while the numerically inferior Europeans lagged behind initially, but rapidly overtook them because they took the opposite route by constantly iterating inefficiently and utilising their human capital.

Would there be any fundamental changes to the use of armor if you could get a 120mm cannon firing in the low hundreds of rounds per minute in a similar form factor as modern armor? Let's say 300 just to have a number.Due to the extremely limited ammunition capacity I'm inclined to say no, but surely a very rapid firing direct fire artillery piece has some usage. Even if it's somewhat niche, like firing beehive rounds into minefields as an alternative to miclics, I can't imagine increasing ROF without any notable compromises would have zero use.
>>65551053Best to not think about it.
>>65551510but my autism has set in motion the unstoppable process of figuring out how this setting works to the point of obsession so i can make it a tabletop or a videogame concept!also MKC is a mindfuck of a location with a lot indicating it's meant to be on the eastern board of the continent with the sunrise coming from the sea and somewhat colder, wetter climate but also it has a lot of warm and dry locations like these beaches, a desert somewhat like the Mojave nearby and mountains high up, high enough to host a not-Inca Egyptian civilization. Also there's a tropical volcanic Island "close enough" off the shore it's part of their jurisdiction. Maybe their planet just rotates the other way around, i don't fucking know.
>>65551766Don't forget the swamp. Also the original Mutilor episode was suppose to end with the reveal that the peaceful aliens were humans.
>>65551799There's a fairly significant amount of rural and suburban areas around it, maybe it's big enough to touch several biomes or just very spread out, the one thing we never actually see is snow or heavy precipitation so it's just a very dry area with lots of water access anyway. Almost mediterranean.

As the title says, what are some good modern camo options that has some resistance to relevant stuff like Infrared observation?Pic related is for the Norwegian military and is sold to hunters and birdwatchers because its nice and warm when you are sitting in nature, but apparantly has lower observability in IR spectrum thanks to the loose fit and metal reflective layer.How good is a ghillie suit with live vegetation attached to it? Any other good modern options?
>>65549057against thermal, standoff is your friendit's better to hang antithermals a foot over you with a draft passing under it if you canotherwise you want 3d items that stick away from your body and stay coolerso yes natural vegetation on your ghilie is good but any visible base level suit under it will still be glowingmore helpful then the camo is the surrounding area, areas with a lot of different thermal masses will make you less obvious a mix of vegetation, warm rocks and water/mud with a tree canopy overtop is great, in a field of snow you are fucked
>>65551521>Hot air is exactly what drones can see
>>65549057
>>65551638Kind of like hiding under a properly rigged tarp with IR reflective fabric? It's not hard to put vegetation on a tarp thankfully, or placing it in a mixed environment.I guess you could use bungee cables to hang it for extra fast setup and takedown.
>>65553203yeah, if drones are a concern, whenever you're not moving you should be under thermal camo netting or indoors
If the Musketeers were from a time that championed "the musket", (pic related) then what would the accurate MODERN EQUIVALENT be? - This might be the perfect time to coin a new one, which would be swell. No fuckery plz. Im being for cereal this time guys. ...srsly u gys. Go.

>>65552013Springs are one of those weirdly esoteric technologies that if you don't already understand how they're made, you can't replicate them through reverse engineering, no matter how closely you study a finished example.
>>65552420As I understand it the elastic properties of a spring come from how the metal is tempered rather than how it's shaped so you can copy how a spring looks as much as you like but it wont perform the same unless you actually make it out of the exact same type of metal as the original, which many cultures lacked the knowledge or capability to do.

>dropping your least-experienced airborne division, that had never actually fought together as a cohesive formation, led by a general who had never even participated in a practice jump before, on your most critical objective that if you fail, the entire operation is a complete failureWhat did Montgomery and Browning mean by this?

How will developing nations utilize autonomous systems in irregular warfare/counterinsurgency in 10-20 years?
>>65547096Most insurgencies were defeated or largely eliminated during the late 2000s and 2010s. The ones that survived were generally those that either adapted to some form of statecraft or governance or were actively funded and protected by a state actor, for example Pakistan’s sheltering and support of the Taliban.
>>65547150So all of them?
>>65547096Look at Myanmar today, several freedom fighters (or terrorists groups depending on your view) have started using drone recon and kamikaze drones already.They are extremely affordable to the point any group of a couple of thousand can afford them in even the thirdiest of economies.
>>65550644>Most insurgencies were defeated or largely eliminated during the late 2000s and 2010s.There's something in the range of 130 currently ongoing armed conflicts and the overwhelming majority of them are insurgencies or large-scale gang wars. And the only ones that you can argue have been "permanently" defeated (only in the sense that they haven't restarted hostilities, yet) as of late are the Tamil Tigers, the Irish Republican Armies, the ETA, and arguably FARC (substantial numbers of dissidents have refused to surrender their arms though and continue fighting under its banner). Even the Islamic State remains active in Iraq and Syria despite having suffered near total defeat and has actually made substantial gains in Africa.>The ones that survived were generally those that either adapted to some form of statecraft or governanceI mean, that's arguably the end goal of just about every insurgency. Destroy the central government and become the new authority.
