>>64373870Because unless the US is invading Canada or Mexico we are gonna have to get there via the sea. Sure, you could try to drop troops and equipment off in a neighboring country, but then they are gonna know exactly where and when you are coming. Shore bombardments followed by marine invasion gives you a very small window where you have the upper hand. Just look at what happened to Germany trying to defend the entirety of the European coastline.

Maybe relevant to this discussion, but I just learned that Kirov class Arsenal Ships just got revived by the Russians.So we are back with Reagan-era Cold War shit and Battleships will go back just out of spite...
>>64395052Pyotr Velikiy has always been in service. The other two have been scrapped for good.
>>64395204>The other two have been scrapped for good.Nakhimov was just recommissioned 2 months ago and went modernization process with Hypersonics. So yeah, I expect the US to match it similar to Cold War. They are better off making a new Battleships at this point from scratch than recommission the Iowas.I'd argue that the amount of money we spent for Zumwalts and Littoral for both research, design and manufacturing could easily get us multiple modern battleships but that's for another topic...

What are the most essential M1 parts you should have?
>>64391080USGI and Korean surplus. Had several of them and they all fed fine. I only ever had one 30 rounder and I can't recall where it came from. It worked but I only shot it a few times. It looks cool but the 15's are more practical IMO.
Is it normal for the metal parts to have a slight wiggle in the wood when pressing on them?
>>64381241The mags suck ass. Otherwise a great carbine.
>>64381912He's right dude.
Stop making a thread for every new announcement some sleazy billion dollar company announces, or some paper tiger made up over the weekend by the mainland commie bugmen? Like half the catalog is littered with MIC announcements to shit that is never coming out or is just some brief snip of something that *might* be ready by 2040. I want to see the old days of /k/ommandos doing dumb shit innawoods again like trying to fuck deer. It was honestly better then. Oldfag thread I guess.
>>64395105>Some boards on this site are still properly moderated.
>>64395119I'd tell you which ones, but I don't want you there.
>>64395071ty for bumping the thread
>>64394954Retards been spamming bullshit wonderwaffle/turdworld/dumb question outside of QTDDTOT threads for years now and sadly the jannies haven't given a shit about it since armatard/warriortard dissappeared. The writing was on the wall when there was endless screeching about certain repro boots and eceleb drama

Ain't no way this was the best way to fight wars for like 2 centuries.
>>64391565We're cutting hairs here fellas. They made the bayonets to make sticks points, not rifles and so did the Japanese who were based enough to do this in battle
>>64352164it only worked because everyone was a gentlemen as these wars were gentlemen wars. Just look at Rome vs Macedonian Pikes and the Greek Phalanx. They literally engaged in a shield wall battle only to turn it into a knife fight once they touched shields.
>>64352265>A lone man running around firing at targets of opportunity the way we fight today If you thinks this is how we fight tkday you're retarded.
>>64393541It's still very much on the stupid side of desperate measures.
>>64393607>it only worked because everyone was a gentlemen as these wars were gentlemen warsthere was nothing gentlemanly about italso consider the fact that they basically conquered the entire world doing it

When does excessive bodybuilding / steroid usage start to limit the warfighting effectiveness of military personnel? Where's the point of diminishing returns?
>>64393452Point of too much is where you screw up a) logistics or b) health. High doses are honestly completely fine as long as your estrogen is kept in check. But you can overdo it if you're nuts and kill your liver with orals. Otherwise health isn't an issue for most people unless you blast for years and years.Logistics are an issue. You need to inject at least once a week, and carry needles and vials into the field with you. Thats retarded. Its easy enough on a quick field exercise but a multi month deployment will require multiple glass vials and dozens of needles and syringes and alcohol pads. You can honestly get it delivered to you if you're American, probably, since they have whole mail networks and shit and huge FOBS and bases. Otherwise you have to smuggle that shit. You can honestly take a few weeks or even months off and be fine and still jacked and your muscle will stay even without injecting test for a few months. So you can blast while conus and then just say fuck it while you deploy. Its easier if you use HCG to keep your balls functioning while you can, so if you suddenly stop you'll have at least a little something.All in all basically 0 reason not to juice.
>>64393928>malding
>>64393505cardio is a skill and the trick is do very low intensities but very long sessions that won't eat through your muscles because use fat for fuel rather than sugar
>>64394736Once you hit a certain threshold cardio is almost purely psychological. If you can run three miles at a consistent pace, you can probably run six at that same pace or slightly slower if you just try.
>>64394736"Cardio" is a broad category that includes several modalities which don't neatly adapt when you train only one. If all you ever do is long slow runs, you'll miss out on a lot of adaptation for higher intensities, even if you get marginally faster over a short distance just from doing any kind of cardio at all.

Imagine the nightmare to repair all this stuff.What if they used some sort of wifi to comunicate with everything, the airplane hull works as a faraday cage anyway, so it won't get any intereference from outside.This way only one energy cable would be needed, the frame could be used as the ground.and repair would be much simpler this way.

>>64394569We were. Post-9/11 any questions regarding the legitimacy of the Chechen wars were put to rest as we had suddenly become victims of Muslim extremism too, and as a result of that perceived solidarity, the most we did for the Georgians was a strongly worded letter to Putin and a Conex of Bushmasters that all got captured. It was only really with Crimea and euromaiden in ~2014 that things fell apart and Russia faced any kind of repercussion. Similarly with the chinks, 9/11 made bush immediately leave Taiwan out in the cold and this persisted through the Obama years; handling both the Taiwan and Tibet issues with kid gloves so as to not cause friction with our new pal; and it was only really with Trump that everybody suddenly remembered they're our main strategic adversary.

>>64391490You get paid extra for living in such shit conditions.

I'm a poorfag that doesn't and has never owned a 1911. I don't want to pay over a thousand for a 1911 and I don't want kimber slop. For a couple hundred more I'm under the impression the only competetion is entry level springfield/colt. I'd rather use that extra money on ammo.I don't care about posting pictures of pretty guns on reddit for updoots or larping on /k/ all day about what I own that I never shoot to impress a board full of people that either don't own guns or also don't shoot.Is this gun reliable? From what I understand they no longer use MIM parts.
I swear to fucking god you can NEVER get a concrete reason why you shouldn't buy these things that's actually based on product quality, it's always schizoid bullshit and thirdie kvetching
>>64392146these actions make no sense because you aren't some terminally online shut-in and just want to own and shoot a fucking gun, not impotently seethe about geopolitical bogeymen
>>643903987/10. Had me the first half, ngl.
>>64391102The funny thing is he thinks 1911 elitists are bragging about Springfield and Colts when there are Wilson Combat, Nighthawk, Dan Wesson, Ed Brown, Les Bauer, Republic Forge, etc. guns being built to a higher standard.
>>64390398>you will be with a group if guys who will be talking about their 1911s and you will well up with pride because you have one toohat the actual fuck is wrong with you
