On my YouTube TV app there is a “browse by topic” tab where I can select things like history, travel, trucks, etc, and it would always have “precision sports” and “shooting range” but those are now gone and I have to manually search what I’m trying to find. They are making it harder to access even the gun channels that they deem kosher
>>56927810The blanket striking across pretty much every guntuber over the last month is the final nail in the coffin. YouTube wants them gone, it's just time for a competitor to provide a similar level of service. Utreon and Rumble are good alternatives but I feel like every 12 months there's a "new YouTube killer" that doesn't make it.
>>56931231Man how are you gonna go and post that wholesome, warm and fuzzy shit in the middle of this depressing thread.
>>56927873All the stupid shit about muh fudd braces confirmed some (not all) guntubers as pro-Russia assets. All the feigned outrage about non-existent censorship by /pol/tards on here is another tell.
>>56931972Mad about increased gun ownership now, huh? Shoulda thought of that before, dontcha think! "Muh rights" are just your cover for wanting oppressed people to remain unarmed, you hypocrite bitch.

The cunt governor has made gun control an agenda priority this year. Buckle up fags, it's gonna be a rough one
I'm making my license and I want to buy myself a rifle. I also live in Europe (Poland), which probably makes selection of rifles that I have access to different to what Americans have in their gun stores. I want something lethal but soft shooting and with flat, retard-friendly ballistics, so it's gonna be 5.56/.223.I've seen some American youtube experts who said that AR-15 is obvious choice and AK is for people who already own AR-15 and are bored with it's superior ergonomics and ease of shooting.My issue is that I will rarely shoot my rifle anyway (maybe a magazine or two per month and probably even less as the time goes on), and pic related (Zastava M21 - basically an AK in 5.56) is 3 or 4 times cheaper that most AR-15. Same goes to used Beryl or Valmet.Also are European-made AR-15 any good? Most gun producers in here have short-stroke piston systems in their flagship models, so it seems more logical for me to buy some of these (e.g. CZ Bren-2 or Grot - latter was cheaper last time I checked, but I don't know how current war will influence prices before I have my license).People who I've been talking with irl seems to have soft spot for AK (probably because in ex-commie country, some version of AK was their first rifle), so I don know. Will AK in 5.56 kill incoming Russians/unwanted guests as good as more expensive rifles in 5.56 wshtf? Or maybe is it better to pay more for a rifle that my wife or kid will be capable of using with less training (I've heard AK kicks slightly more, even if it's 5.56 - however I haven't felt that much difference myself - maybe because I'm fat)?If I pay extra is some European AR-15 better choice or some of European mutations of AR-18?

>>56924563Zastava or Beryl will be fine. If you end up going for an AR by the time you get your loiscence get something with a DI system, it’s what it was designed for and if it’s going to be your only rifle you don’t want to have proprietary parts that you can’t replace if the model gets discontinued or the company goes under.
>>56924563if this is the only rifle you buy I would definitely spend the extra money on an AR over a 5.56 AK. I have a Zastava Npap and it is okay, but I only have it because I already had an AR and wanted an AK as well.With that said, there's nothing really wrong with Zastava and if that's all you get, it will be just fine.

What happens if you strap this to a ballistic shield and run at the enemy?
>>56929552Faster than most. Like 4000fps>>56931261Whats immediate proximity? You use these things and you will be close enough to need to take cover from random crap it throws back. They are command operated if you are a follower of the Geneva conventions..Ive seen them cut down trees they are strapped to so I'm pretty sure they'd cut the shield in half too, and you'd end up with some of it inside your chest

World in Conflict American Campaign: Half the Russian fleet sinks due to poor maintenance and corruption before even reaching Seattle, the rest are beaten at the harbor by the Seattle Police Department and Captain Bannon's logistics division as all surprise is lost when police radios start picking up unencrypted Russian transmissions since Valery sold all the encrypted comms equipment for vodka.

What's the story of this particular patch? Is it because Russians are Muslims?
>>56931903I don't know, but I know azov were initially a reactionary group countering the russian chimpout.
>>56931970"reactionary group" is correct. The nazism is a marketing gimmick used to collect and unite people under a flag of outrage. It's a group designed from the ground up to safely stoke the nationalist base and give them something to do.
Should aircraft be considered extra-long-range artillery?
>>56929794can the machine guns be used for ranging for the big gun?
>>56929854That's how it works if you have air supremacy and America almost always will, but the war in Ukraine has both sides using aviation as basically flying Grad batteries
>>56929808I dunno but sounds like extra-short-range aircraft to me.
>>56929756>>56929768I think systems like Rapid Dragon could be counted as artillery units
>>56929794>>56929794I fucking love b-25s, but the quad 50 nose with the 4 cheek mounted 50s is the best version>B-25s with as many as eight fixed .50s in a hard nose, plus four more in external “cheek” pods affixed to the fuselage slightly behind and below the cockpit on each side. Add in the top turret rotated to fire straight ahead and you had a battery of 14 .50-caliber machine guns with a total throw weight of about 215 pounds per second. One version of the late-model B-25J had 18 forward-firing machine guns.
>combat footage of Terminator released>NATO announces they're sending Abrams and Leos>Claim "Russia 'likely considering' deploying small number of T-14 Armata"Is this it bros? Is the holy grail, which has caused years of flame wars in weapons forums about to be released? Will we get to see Abrams vs Armata combat footage? Or even Armata vs Leo?
>>56921919I still haven't seen any footage of a T-14 moving under its own power since that parade where they were first shown off, which also saw one break down right on Red Square.
>>56921919>deploying small number of T-14 Armata"so all of them?
>>56925284>and russia is still using tanks from the 60's
>>56927904it took the Americans nearly 43 years to make "Future American Tank 2"kek AND lel
>>56930490that's a testament to the strength of the abrams design and american manufacturing. if you build a tank right the first time, using foresight and the best technology in the world, you don't have to replace it for a good long while.

Why do we overengineer all weapons today?
>>56928903Because it means we got to field a rifle comparable to the AR-18 for twice the cost and a lot more weight. We can't just buy a rifle, that would be cheating. Better to make a bad rifle, the buy H&K and make them fix it. This is how UK military aquisition goes, it's tradition to go the longest most convoluted path possible.
>>56928903we don't
>>56928903Whatever Enfield did to make the L85, it was not engineering.
>anno domino 1990+33>this piece of shit is STILL in serviceI am not looking forward to handling it at all, guys
It's like every bong thing. They're so prideful that they insist on using domestic designs even though they're objectively bottom-tier. France and India actually make better shit now.The US requires everything to be manufactured domestically but it can be from anywhere as long as it wins in testing (which sometimes means the head of procurement gets paid off, source: original M9, M17, V22, F35).
That the West is going to supply heavy equipment like tanks etc to Ukraine, including possibly planes in the future.I don't think send in the next wave is going to save them come the end of the mud season unless every single conscript has an atgm and manpad.
>>56927347>they use Tanks as imprecise artillery, which wears down those barrels even further.Smoothbore cannon + low pressure/medium velocity HE round at 700 m/s = the gun barrel can take thousands of shells. They use tanks because they have a lot of 125 mm HE shells and all russian tanks are equipped to be used as ersatz artillery. We've seen cell phone movies from the inside of russian tanks shelling something 8000+ meters away in the night, at that distance the tank isnt visible and the only thing the defenders see is the muzzle flash.
It looks like the Russian plan is to take as much of the Donbass as they can and to hunker down. The battle for Ukraine is lost, but maybe they're hoping to force a stalemate in the east and to get away with the two republics. I can honestly see that happening. But I feel pretty certain the the Ukrainians will retake the south at some point. And as other people have pointed out, Crimea will then be very hard to defend. That will be an interesting situation.
>>56931588I think it depends a lot on Putin and succession. It has a fall of the Roman Republic feel to me, you can't have that many potential successors with men under arms in the field during a succession crisis. Sooner or later someone is going to turn round, cross the rubicon and "save moscow". Pic related should never have happened, certainly it cannot be what Putin wanted nor going around calling Gerasimov a faggot and mumbling about getting the Ukraine war over so he can "get to business". Soledar is a strategic objective, but not so much in terms of fighting Ukraine but in amplifying Prigozhin's cult. Shoigu has Patriot, Timchenko has Redut, and of course there is Kadyrov who is doing a good impression of a man obsessed with preserving his forces close to home. Merely from the rate at which they get assassinated its reasonable to think the commanders of regular forces are themselves warlord adjacent. Do you want a civil war, because this is how we get a civil war.

I just can't help but think of 5.56/.223 as pitifully weak.>can't defeat body armor>can't reliably down anything smaller than a varmint>not even legal to hunt with in a lot of places>not good for long range because the wind pushes the lightweight projectiles around easily>shit out of short barrels because it's entirely reliant on velocity for effectiveness Does it have a valid place in the world, or is it only hanging around because of the AR15s popularity because people like to copy the military?
>>56931192No fucking clue, I guess it's a bit of the typewriter monkey theorem at work. As mentioned, by all rights, this was a bullet that should have penetrated anyways. Meaning it's clearly not any kind of example that demonstrates the perils of BABT as concerns bullets that are pretty comfortably stopped.
>>56921083i never used the word most.
>>56919578>I just can't help but think of 5.56/.223 as pitifully weak.Its the replacement for 7.62x33, a straightwalled pistol type cartridge with a round nosed (piss poor aerodynamics) bullet. German 7.92x33 aka 8 mm kurz totally dominates american 7.62x33 ballistics wise.
>>56919578Yeah I though of it as well, but in real life most of the ammo I do fire I fire into paper or very rarely steel. In that context 5.56 makes a whole lot of sense just because it's cheap and has a somewhat flat rifle-like trajectory going out into 200-300 yards. It's very different from say 22LR. Plus, for a home defense gun it's more than enough. But for hunting it's meh.
>>56930725>>56930738I've mentioned this multiple times and yet most people continue with the old "varmint round for varmints" fuddline. At this point I just figure that anyone who's receptive to the idea of 5.56 hunting & bullet choice will have gotten the message already, and those who refuse to think about it because it's incompatible with their world view or are entirely dismissive of the principles and nuances of terminal ballistics altogether, simply never will listen.
