What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?

>>13929 It's obvious that you haven't contemplated this on the Tree of Woe.

ngl bros... Idk if I like the mutant pouch, it keeps getting in the way of my battle belt and shit... and getting my mags out of it is kinda fucking difficult because of the velcro

>>13748 I have it mounted on the left side panel of my plate carrier btw

it's too late to buy tents and shit from aliexpress now, isn't it?

>>6840 I know, but it genuinely looks like some scaled down .30 carbine to 5.56mm, even if the development process was quite different. Also, now I want to see a tiny revolver chambered for that experimental cartridge.

So what's the deal with 6.8mm Common? It looks like this will go nowhere.

Going to drop some basic info and links. Shooting in competitions is a great way to improve your skills, and its also fun. Going to drop some info on a few different sports, links to the organizations that run them, and some videos that just demonstrate what the sport actually looks like. <Do you want to run around through a course and shoot stuff, but don't want to invest a ton of money upfront? A "practical" pistol sport might be best for you. Their are two big ones. IDPA: International Defensive Pistol Association. Focus on defensive shooting, drawing from concealment. There are rules around things like shooting targets in proper order as you "pie" around a corner, and retaining magazines. Equipment rules have an expectation that you'd use stuff you'd actually carry. Different divisions for things like optics, sub compacts, etc. https://www.idpa.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXtSNqdcFuM USPSA: (or IPSC outside the US): US Practical Shooting Association, or International Practical Shooting Confederation. Similar, but more gamified. Stages aren't always meant to be realistic scenarios (though some still are), but rather test various shooting skills. Broader range of equipment. You can compete in Production division with an off the shelf gun, or dump thousands of dollars into building an Open division race gun. Other divisions include Limited (some modification allowed, but not as much as Open), Carry Optics, Limited Optics, and even Revolver if thats your jam. https://uspsa.org/ https://www.ipsc.org/regions/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oZBY_ZBntM ICORE: Speaking of revolvers, if that's what you like, ICORE is similar to these other sports but specific to revolvers, with several different divisions based on whether you use optics, use moon clips or speed loaders, have a compensator, etc. https://www.icore.org/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhccJRteC1c

>>12179 that sucks ass, i would stay with some forges like forge of svan and the like

>>13527 Based.

>>13726 There will eventually be fully autonomous reconnaissance drones, large ones loitering up much higher and of course smaller ones that can be deployed at grunt level that will end up fully mapping out and automatically updating a battlefield map. That battlefield map will be fed into the combat drones, which, also, will be automated. Some of the combat drones will simply be kamikaze drones, similar to the FPV racing drones we've seen in the Russo-Ukrainian war. Some of them will be much like the manually operated quad copters we see around the world today, that simply drop munitions directly onto other drones and infantry. There will also likely be marksman drones that can loiter miles away from a human, measure wind speed, trajectory, etc, perfectly and take long distance shots to take them out. Think about the furthest shot someone has made with a large caliber anti-material rifle like the Barret, there will be drones strapped with those taking shots from even further- up in the air from far away. All of these drones will be able to instantly communicate with one another- and some of them will just be trying to find targets and update the map for other drones. Of course you will also have drones that lay mines for other drones, drones that hunt other armored drones with anti-tank weapons. There will of course be, bigger drones that are more heavily armored that attempt to make assaults through different areas. There will be walkers for highly uneven terrain, like destroyed cities and mountainous regions- and tracked or wheeled for more flat areas. There will also always be aerial harassment drones everywhere. There will be drones that launch artillery at other drones from far away and of course human sized drones that may assist other drones. There will be drones that collect friendly and enemy drones to disassemble, melt down and reuse. Of course fighter drones like the NGAD wingmen that are currently being worked on.. the main thing with humans will probably be drone control centers and drone repair or manufacturing FOB's as well as drone logistics centers. Maybe some humans will work with drones, but I do think that the environment will be so ludicrously hazardous to human life that eventually we will learn that it is an effort in futility to send humans onto future battlefields. It will be like the invention of the machinegun, where we didn't learn our lesson until millions of soldiers lost their lives. You simply will not be able to compete with combined arms drone warfare once it really begins and becomes autonomous. All it takes is for the Chinese or Americans to get into a real peer to peer conflict and test out such a system to absolutely decimate an organized human force in short order and then everyone will be trying to field them as fast as possible.

>>13750 Yeah.

It's a trainer that can be pushed into combat if SHTF, it'll be fine for COIN / Counter-piracy, it won't see frontline use until the F-15s, F-16s and F-35s have taken significant losses or had so many fight hours readiness rates drop.

>>7239 why did my infographics get whacked?

>>7240 SomaliAnon from 4chan told us all about the parts of africa that are sick of the shit and doing better. Kenya, if we can protect Somaliland, I hear even Congo is showing signs of hating muslims and drug lords. I think we should cheer on the good parts of africa and make fun of shitholes not fixing themselves.

>>13601 aleight

>>13591 hot take i don't think it exists. china's flying dorito is cool but i don't thnk that's going to be a real thing either. it's just going to be gay drones over and over again until nukes are launched.

>>13591 I think it's going to be amazing. And cost a fuckton in maintenance, and look like shit half the time. But I also want to see if do air stunts controlling drones before I am in love.

>>13763 nah bro we got a go to war for Israel again Anyways this rifle is stupid. New alloy casing 5.56 is gonna extend the AR's lifespan YET AGAIN with minimal effort. We are NEVER moving away from the M4 and 5.56 lmao

So something funny occurred to me recently while reading the project requirements for the NGSW program. The Colt Monitor fulfilled or nearly fulfilled all of them. I am not sure what muzzle velocity you'd get out of a BAR with a 16 inch barrel, but it's still probably enough to count. Plus in CQB you could use the muzzle blast to concuss and blind the enemy.

>>13773 if it was good enough to kill bonnie and clyde...

>>11357 It would just need a simple turboprop engine and a propeller instead of all the things and stuff that goes into making a helicopter work, and yet it could still lands just like one. In fact, it might need an overall less footprint. And it would be an aircraft that can go fast. Of course, it wouldn't be a 1:1 replacement for a helicopter, because you could use it to drops e.g. sonars, but using it to collect them would be quite a bit more complicated. And it couldn't carry people, which also limits how useful it is. But you could have a hangar with a helicopter or two, and also park a few of these drones next to them, and then use whichever is appropriate.

>>11146 It wouldn't be a battleship you'd like. It'd be a standoff missile city oil-well looking thing and it wouldn't get half an ocean close to any conflict.

>>13727 Fuck what that retard would like that sounds sick as hell

This thread is a gold mine for any lurkers out there.

Watch party tomorrow?

>>12396 It was friday on the chan, I made most of them if a minute late. It's a good tradition.

>>9439 >But anyway, I agree that the Chishima islands should no longer be a diplomatic issue. Let Russia have them for now. If there was some sort of change in government in Russia that led to a softer approach to diplomacy I wouldn't be surprised if Russia sold them to Japan to help un-fuck their economy from the war or at least worked out some sort of long-term lease agreement. China wouldn't be happy about that but Russia is well aware that the Chinese are much saltier about the treaties of Aigun and Beijing than the Japanese are about the Kurils - 1991 be damned - and are much more likely to use any political upheaval to try to take a bite of Russian clay in the far east.

>>9420 Sometimes it's not "russophobe", normal people are literally fucking disgusted by Russia. >>9435 russia is always the same because the russian people are the same. Shit.

>>13617 Did you just reply to two different posts from a different image board that were made more than a year ago just to rant about how much you hate Russians? What the fuck is wrong with you?
