What makes the Korean War so forgotten? What about its weapons made no one remember it?
>>65151359The inability of the UN to remove members from the security council by simple majority vote was the greatest mistake ever made during its existence. That, and letting dirty fucking reds in it in the first place. It could’ve been the strong arm of the Free West if not for namby-pamby DIRTY FUCKING RED COMMIE SYMPATHIZERS.
>>65150375>no clear victor>loat piece of something and got piece of somethingNorks lost much more and gained much less. Looks like South Korea clear victory.
A variety of reasons.It was a conflict following the largest war in human history that just occurred 5 years prior to it. Pretty much every conflict following the immediate aftermath of WW2 were proxy conflicts. That were regionally important, but are not exactly remembered far and wide either. Generally speaking as well, it was a sideshow to the world to what was going on in Europe at the time. What is probably going to have the worlds attention more? A USSR-NATO stare down in Central Europe which could trigger WW3? Or a fight on a small peninsula, in a country most people never have heard of at the time?The conflict itself was a tug-of-war that ended back at square one. Consider this, the United States just came off from defeating Japan and victory in Western Europe, and the PRC from their victory in the Chinese Civil War. What is going to have a greater grip upon national consciousness and is more politically convenient to use as a measure of national strength for both? To the US, politically speaking, it was a 'police action', and downplayed the scale of involvement and there was no mass-mobilization. To the Chinese, it was bailing out an overwhelmed Communist Korea, but more importantly to them, prevented a bordering potential hostile state with western alignment. And it all ended exactly where it began. Kind of hard to frame it as a glorious victory.The reason why Vietnam is more remembered, but following a similar pattern? It was the first actively "televised" conflict. Only 9% of the population of the US had television at time in 1950. By the time Vietnam was kicking off in earnest, it was at 93%. With Korea, it was a far away place you heard on the radio, read in a newspaper or saw a newsreel of in the cinema, but was still out of sight and out mind. Compared to seeing footage and reporting on a daily basis, in your own home, and with less of a filter every night on television news? One is objectively going to be more noticeable.

In World War 2 basically every major military was majority conscripted, but nowadays only desperate and incompetent nations use conscription, so when did that change occur?

The Chinese are testing a new, as in never seen before, military aircraft with lambda wings.
>>65151959That's not how that works.Also in a 2 (or more) engined plane, if one engine fails you have a 2nd still providing thrust and power.It's why airforce one has 4 engines. Even if they lose 2 engines over the ocean, they can (usually) get back to land.
>>65139302Obviously a drone

>>65145127Based Budd appreciator. But most Budd railway equipment was made at their Red Lion Plant in Northeast Philadelphia, not the Hunting Park Plant, seen here. Prewar Hunting Park did railway, most notably the Zephyrs, but after WWII it was consolidated to Red Lion, which was built during to war to make bad stainless steel airplanes. Here is the assembly line for those planes, the RB-1 Conestoga.
Hypothetically if you had a relatively prominent and defensible hill on your property and an unreasonable amount of free time how would you fortify it against an attacking force that could best be described as determined and crafty methheads. Kind of like modern equivalents to medieval brigands. Bonus points if it isn’t just First World War trench systems.
>>65025068I'd put it deep underground because anything in modern times is gonna get attacked by the air or detected and sieged by hungry marauders. Just be hidden and unable to be bombed/droned.

Shooting with friends kinda sucks when you bring the cool stuff and they just bring some NPC rifle.
>>65150128At some point, you will not know anyone who can keep up with your taste. You may be there already. The last time I went shooting with anyone who brought guns, I brought out my pristine M1917 and they brought out a Hipower carbine, that didn't cycle in the cold. Now I just focus on nogunz-new shooters.
Sheet metal and molded plastic.

What sidearm would you choose as a hardboiled 1920's detective?
>>65132783I live in a tiny apartment. It has a bed. If I want to heat the place or cook something I'll start a fire in the little pot bellied stove. The toilets and shower are communal, down at the end of the hall. Is it about half a step removed from a flop house? Yup, but the neighbors are decent enough, just poor folk trying to make their way through life. More importantly, it's cheap, like almost everything in my life. I live off cigarettes and coffee. I only drink to dull the pain. Which means all the time. The hooch comes in old glass gallon jugs that used to be full of milk. Ole Farmer Johnson found something more profitable to do than just farming and he's been grateful ever since I saved his daughter from the slant eyed bastards that were trying to separate him from his land and his business. I get it at cost and he gets a heads up if I see the tax boys sniffing around town.The only expensive things in my life are my tools. My car. My guns. My camera.The Model A isn't anything special. It's like the thousands of others just like it. Which is fine. Nothing to notice. But it's reliable, and I make sure it stays happy.The guns are a necessity. Not just because of my line of work. Because that's the reality of this place these days. Gook bastards trying to move in on Mafia business. Mafia vs Mafia. It's still the wild west out here, just who the cowboys and Indians are have changed. I carry a 1911 in a shoulder holster. A 1905 in an ankle holster. A Smith 1917 tucked into the small of my back. A Colt snub 38 in the pocket of my coat. An 1897 cut down so the barrel is no longer than the tube lives in the back of the Model A next to the Tommy. The camera is brand new, out of Germany. I know a guy that knows a guy that develops the film. Cops don't have to believe me when photos don't lie.Somebody once told me I should live a better life, do more with my skills and contacts. What's better than saving somebody like Johnson's daughter?
>>65132891> Stevens 520Had to look that up. Very nice. Little stow away surprise for later.
>>65150059So it's a take-down shotgun, like the one in Bullitt, but it's also slam-fire, so you can hold the trigger down and fire it with the pump like a WW1 trench-sweeper? I'm sold.
>>65149012>i don't know if they were selling the 1911 commercially then or not.Colt did, the military contracts basically ended right after WW1, only a small amount were delievered after the war to the army just to finish out the runs and make sure the companies didn't go under.

What laws or quirks of physics would you change to make space combat more interesting?I would make the heat capacity and conductivity of some random otherwise mostly useless metal way higher so that they could be used as a heat sink to enable more intense weapons exchanges.

How would Kant feel about this thread?
>>65149468Different paradigm. Humans aren't really designed for roads. Our legs are more generalist, good for climbing, swimming, running on both even and uneven ground, as well as a decent makeshift weapon when we don't have our tools. Evolution tends to favor versatile, adaptive designs that don't die off because the climate changed. Humans can snatch up clams like an otter, pick seeds and berries like a bird, or chase prey to exhaustion like a canine. We're very versatile even before you add in tools. There's a reason why a lot of jungle, mountain, and indoors fighting is still infantry dominant. Mechanized warfare is all about roads and mostly flat ground. You don't need tanks to climb trees or supply trucks to swim under water. You just need to get across the field with as much weight as possible. Maybe the field is muddy, maybe it's dry, maybe it's full of ditches, but it's still just a field. Mostly flat with some exceptions. Very optimized, not very versatile.
I found out a way to transform a nailgun into a serious firearm..I mean, it shoots rounds and it penetrates concrete WITH BLANKS..DemolitionRanch didnt use his full creativity, but I did. I shoot short arrows penetrating 2,5 inches deep into a tree from 15 yards. That is not shit you want to hit the wrong places..
>>65150399>gringo just finding out about munisalvas.
chickenshit nonsense.just buy a glock 17.
Construction sites are filled with the sound of nails hitting wood, but how loud would it be if a nail gun were fired horizontally?
>>65151932where do you think all the pressure goes?... ow wait, the same direction as nails penetrating concrete like woodyou can destroy locks with nailguns without nails or rounds.. just with the presure

>>65149626Seals were the direct action focused SOCOM unit in 2001. They used plenty of ODAs to great affect but SEALs and the Ranger Regiments were basically the only SOCOM assets mostly specialized in DA at that time and with enough volume to matter. It was almost 30 years ago so people tend to forget all the special operations groups used to be much more distinct, and straight up tier 2 direct action was basically only a SEAL thing back then.
