Why and when did they decide to make bullets out of lead?
>>48101830I like this guy. How many other youtubers get visited by the government for showing people how to refine uranium and make yellowcake?
>>48104890Some youtubers actually do the visiting. But it's because they're banal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKUe1jC2GFg
>>48100452what is this the new candleja
>>48105230h
>>48093477Lead is dense and cheap. Gold would make much better bullets if it wasn’t so rare
is it worth it to buy a helmet for $1k? why are they so fucking expensive
>>48103349So you are saying plate that is one piece flat surface is same is helmet that is round half ball. Never knew that.
because you're buying an expensive model retard.ACHs run $200.Galvion helmets are still $400 from TNVC if you want a mid or high cut.Don't buy from tard head veteransdon't buy from mil tecdon't buy from wish
>>48090617If you get rid of all the wonderbread, the rich pretty girls can't cut all of the forests down.
I paid $500 for a motorcycle helmet so just do it.
>>48092842Stopping a bullet takes the same energy to shoot one. Do you get a concussion from firing a rifle?

>>48102224>>48102199>>48103305Idiots, there are three of those. He's talking about the manlet.
>>48106017No I was talking about the African, the mods deleted the post where I say so, probably because I use the n-word

>>48106256Nigger is nsfw now ? Wtf ?
Seems like they're going the F35 route of making one main design with variants for transport, recon, and attack capabilities.
>>48098564It's the smart thing to do. It sucks balls to have to search for parts that fit multi brands and designs of vehicles. I own two cars and getting the parts and working on them is a HUGE fucking pain. Can't imagine what it would be like with 70 different kinds of engine, rotors, electrical and computer designs on a carrier.
>>48098564why does it look so FUCKING ugly?
>>48099781USMC is fully content botching every single procurement program and making themselves totally irrelevant in any future conflict
>>48100561Since it’s the army and they need to actually do combat, plus rescue retarded marines, they’ll not be going a tilt rotor
>>48104889It’s bad to have different branches do the same shit. IJN/IJA is the classic example given. The issue is figuring out where to draw the line.

Gorka suits look pretty gucci, but what about practicality? How would you compare wearing Gorka with western style cuts? I love the Russian style patterns, notably some of the summer and autumn patterns inspired by late war Germans. Why do the Russians go for baggy clothes? They literally have about 100 sizes in them, so don't tell me it's to be universally sized. How does it fair in very hot and humid summer weather in southern United States? How would it be with a plate carrier? Comfortable? It seems like the American companies that use different, more advanced fabrics, notably from Kommandostore and Russian Cold Camo are high quality. But they also look like they are gimicky marketed toward airsoft kids and Russian LARPers. For this kind of money, why not just buy some crye or high quality western cut combat clothes?
bumpp
>>48097755>redpill me on GorkasLike most of what /k/ shills, gorkas are extremely distinct and offer a very specific aesthetic, but they're built for one specific purpose and don't excel at anything else and are not a "go-to" unless you live in Colorado.A true gorka (anorak not parka) will not work well with a plate carrier because the kangaroo pocket is totally covered by it. It's also a heavy canvas material that doesn't breathe well and may give you hotspots on your PC shoulder straps unless you're wearing an accommodating under-layer.If you're "operating" in central Colorado or up in the Adirondacks in spring/fall, look no further, the Gorka is an amazing outer layer for that environment. For everything else, you're better off with an endless amount of other options. The Gorka is meant to work with Russian kit, in Russian/Kazakh/Chechen/Afghan mountain environments.The Gorka is perfect if you are in a moderately cool, arid, windy environment and want a loose-fitting garment that protects you from getting scrapes and tears from underbrush and evergreen, and will protect you when kneeling/posting up against forest duff.The Gorka will make your life a living hell if you get rained on, are in direct sun below forty degrees of latitude, or are in a humid area. To put it in perspective, I was in the Adirondacks in mid-april, 55 degree F day, windy and partial sun - my BARS Gorka was amazing, the perfect clothing. Wearing it in Virginia is fucking hell - it doesn't cut wind enough for winter here, and the sun will bake you alive from March to November if you wear it. If you have an SADF rig, Gorka is fine. For a PC, you're better off wearing a T-shirt, flannel shirt, sweater, etc. If you're actually cold, you're much better off wearing something like a Snow P-51 jacket that's wide to go OVER your PC so your PC doesn't compress your insulating layer and make you sweat into your jacket.
>>48097755weird kommando store guerrilla marketing scheme. I see this thread once a week
>>48106607Thanks for the info anon, as a western Virginian this is good info to have.
>>48106698DESU, for Virginia, the best thing I've found for the temperamental spring/fall around here is this old MTP-PCS smock with zips in the armpits. It's loose enough I can roll up the sleeves if it gets too hot, and unzip the stink sinks.For winter here, look into a Boathouse Stevenson rowing jacket. They're like 100% waterproof, they have a vent at the scapula, and have a built-in waterproof sitting flap. It's not high-speed-low-drag but with a merino wool base layer it makes winter on the Chesapeake a lot less fucking miserable.

Why is the international community letting China put air bases and harbors in the SCS where their claims have been rejected by courts and rulings?It's one thing to claim a stupid rock, but when you artificially build on it and militarize in that changes the game. Whats theoretically stopping them from developing giant landmasses through their claims and choking over a third of the worlds trade?
Because China understood the modern game rules and do what they do best, abusing everything they can.In this case it's buying everyone and everything.
>>48086574It's commies up to the same old tricks of power and control
>>48086434>all the industrial espionage carried out by Europe to try to steal Chinese porcelain production techniques?Was independently developed by an unironic alchemist in some dungeon

whats the difference between M-ATV and JLTV they look like the same thing on paper.
>>48106586M-ATV is substantially heavier and more heavily armored. JLTV is gross weight is bit over 10 tons. M-ATV gross weight starts from bit under 15 tons on lighter versions.

>>48106452>FRF2>Removable magazineSorry it's still a Cat C dude. Yeah it's retarded.
>>48106473Yeah my bad forgot to mention he has the barrels made by a small barrel maker in St-Etienne too. He then touches em up by himself.
>>48106591Fuck I meant cat B (which is the category above C which is restricted to evil-looking rifles)
>>48106635do enfields count as cat b? i assume by removable magazine they mean something like you cant remove the magazine without disassembling the whole gun, like with the krag or something

>>48101757this is retarded, you dont need an axe, and folding saws are fucking shit. and you don't need an expensive knife. get a camp stove for cooking and a morakniv. you dont need an e-tool either, but you do need something to dig with to bury your shit. get a small gardening trowel. spend your money on a shelter and sleep system
>>48101757came here to make this thread, i have some on my phone but only this one on the pc
made of concrete. ten to fifteen feet of concrete in some areas so small arms can't do shit. tall and has watch towers so a well positioned sniper or Mg nest can do serious damage. they're also built to withstand sieges.
>>48105278Sorry anon nothing comes to mind for strategy building; but what about strategy destruction? Go look at teardown
>>48101707This.In WWI and WWII some starforts became impregnable fortresses.Verdun in France in WWI and Brest in soviet union during WWII off the top of my head.People guarding them only got wiped once super heavy artillery was used (the kind we don't have anymore).Today equivalent would be a GBU-57 from a bomber.And even against that you can guard the Germans made structures like the St-Nazaire sub pens that withstood older types of earthquake bombs.
>>48103420castle in a forest is hard to find still and easier to live in and easier to defend and will also last longer and you have more space to work with, plus you can live in it after things get back to normal

How long would one need to practice to master this technique?
>>48102597No, a true master can deploy two handguns simultaneously.
>>48102626Two seperate guns for each shot with two new ones, then finish off with a load.
