>>61443419There're 8" and 155mm nuclear shells. For 16" you could have a cluster nuke.
>>61443478okay, but "could" is not the same as "did"
>>61443419They did, the W23, a 20kt shell. Also New Jersey experimented firing 8" projectiles out of the 16" guns with giant sabots, which wasn't operationalized but is just neat.

In the book which is obviously entirely based on one side, Prince blamed several things. He said the State department assigned impossible tasks and NDA’s made it so that they could not publicly contest accusations nor have things like dash cams. Partisan politics hated the war in Iraq and needed to assign blame when you can’t criticize the military. Military contracting was a controversial subject like how when space travel was contracted out to SpaceX, now both are very normal and publicly known things. Also once Saddam was defeated one of the first policies implemented was to disband the Iraqi military, so you now have ~375,000 pissed off jobless soldiers with a bunch of spare time and a stockpile of weapons that went everywhere once they knew they were gonna lose the war, turning Iraq into an IED filled hell hole that was going to have its own plans. All of which seems to check out. My question is, were there shit decisions made from Backwater’s leadership/business choices that could have resulted in a better outcome for them or was the 2003 invasion, and all the butterfly effects that went along with it, make it impossible for anyone to be seriously involved in any significant way and come out unscathed reputation wise?

>>61434627idk about the food question for the Chinese but Russia's TOTAL oil production can't even keep up with China's demand. Russia can only produce 11.2 million barrels daily, whereas China consumes 14.3 million barrels every day. HYPOTHETICALLY, in a war scenario where the US is blocking China off from the MENA's oil supply, China could get all of its oil needs met entirely by land-based pipelines and domestic oil production. But this would require China to receive the vast majority of Russia's entire oil production and basically all of Kazakhstan's oil production (which is just shy of 2 million barrels daily). Both these countries have oil pipelines servicing China, but they certainly cannot transport enough oil to support Chinese demand. Kazakhstan for example only exported 74,600 barrels to China daily, which is a comically tiny amount given Chinese demand. This "land-based oil only" wartime scenario would also require China's pipelines and offshore oil production facilities to stay intact, which is most likely not happening in a war against naval powers with advanced air forces, especially with the advent of a new era of strategic bombing using super-long range expendable munitions the problem is that it's not just impossible for the Chinese to stop using maritime supply lines to get their oil, it's that China needs free and fair international trade backed by US security guarantees to get their oil.

How easy/difficult Montréal would be to defend in the event of a siege? Let's pretend Québec declares its independence from Canada and Montréal remains loyal to Ottawa, leaving no choice to Québec but to opt for a military intervention, assisted by 20 000 troops and drones from France.

How would a Russian invasion into the Appalachians play out?
>>61436866This already happened multiple times during the initial stages of the war in Ukraine and the quality of Russia's "organized military" has drastically degraded since than.

>>61438245It is a retarded plan any way you spin it. Might as well take an icebreaker through to James bay and send a landing party down the Moose River to Kapuskasing. Loot as much paper as can be carried, go back and call it a win.

>>61433067nice weihrauch, in .22 too i assume? have you taken any game with it?
>>61442887>For those looking to step past 500 and truly stretch the capabilities of this tiny round, the 42- and 50-grain options are the ticket, though they’ll require a faster twist. The 42-grain will need to be spun by a 1/10 or faster, while the 50-grain will need a minimum of 1/7 twist. And as luck would have it, Bartlien did a custom run of barrels for Defensive Solutions who can spin one up for your next .22 ELR Rig. >While the CuRx line isn’t yet offered in a loaded, off-the-shelf configuration, Cutting Edge Bullets is selling brass and bullet packages so you can roll your own. Their bundles include 200 bullets and the corresponding primed brass. Dies are sold separately and a simple single-stage press and scale is all that’s required to be on your way to sending tiny pieces of copper down range. nigga I ain't handloading .22lr but that is neat

You can make your own MREs but don't expect them to last as long, mine expire after 6-8 months.>instant thai noodles>instant potatoes>apple sauce>peanut butter energy bar>electrolyte powder>instant coffee>beef jerky>crackers>peanut butterYou can also dehydrate fruit in an air fryer and mix it with instant oats for breakfast. They come out to around $8-$10 apiece.

>>61441233just look up the average MRE's ingredients & use thatyou could go the extra mile & get the volume / weight of each one too
>>61441233Am I missing something? Why wouldn't you just buy any freeze dried, canned, or retort pouch food you like and stuff them into freezer bags or vacuum sealed bags?
>>61441233Get HDRs instead, it's a whole day's worth of food in a bag for $3.50. You probably won't be able to pick, but if possible get the Sopakco ones. I haven't tried Ameriqual but I hear it has even less variety than the others. I've had Wornick and unfortunately the vegan chili mac that's in three of the menus is absolutely inedible. I think maybe it has a much shorter shelf life than the other entrees and they've gone rancid in two years, but maybe they tasted like vomit from the factory, I'm not sure. Everything in the Sopakco HDRs is as good as you can possibly expect from a vegan meal with a 3-5 year shelf life, though. I wouldn't mind living on them for a couple of months at a time.
purely an aesthetic/budget choice on the part of wannabe badasses, similar to choosing a shitty gun because it looks cool or takes more skill in a video gameall of the supposed pros of revolvers, bolt actions, and pump action are pure fudd, like generals in WW1 preferring smaller magazine sizes so soldiers "don't waste ammo"
>>61438877Also it wasn’t awful but I didn’t really care for the reticle, something about the diamonds irked me
>>61438877That seems highly odd you had a reticle rotation from something that trivial, may have gotten a bad scope.The mil wouldn't have used them for as long as they did if they weren't robust in that regard.To be honest the tech has surpassed them and more cheaper options that are decent have came around the past 5-10 years but hard to pass it up for it's value.Same with my Burris XTR III, especially when I got that on a 25% sale.
