What would a modern battleship look like today?
I imagine it would be a battlecruiser rather than a battleship, otherwise known as a "fast battleship" to the US navy but beyond that would be a mixture between missiles and guns.
>>34107446
A battlecruiser and a fast battleship were definitely not the same thing to the USN.
>>34107446
This is what it looks like today. Fulfills every role a battleship might need to do.
>>34107460
can it defend itself from submarines, air, or other ships like a battleship can?

I'm in high school about to take the ASVAB, what Army MOS has the greatest chance to see combat or be deployed in the Middle East? I'm looking into doing a 2-year contract after I graduate.
Are Aircraft Carriers still kings of the seas?

No.

Which is why China is investing in their own carriers?
Recently saw this movie for the first time, and my god does was it insane. The I've seen bits of the shootout before and had no idea it was filmed 22 years ago.

If you are fighting a clearly superior force, you have sustained more than x percentage of casualties, and your commander insists that you continue to engage, is it dereliction of duty to run away?

>>34123868
Maybe the reason we keep getting our ass kicked is because we don't know when to withdraw or retreat.
Is it even legal for our media to use those words on national television? In that specific context?
>>34123876
Bullshit.
You telling me no one has ever run away? Or been taken prisoner?

How many soldiers could one marine defeat if he had infinite ammo?
Also he has a Desert Eagle .50 BMG.
>>34123229
all of them
Sampler Pie
There's lots of variables to think about but a for a rough guess of the average I'd have to say 700.
>>34123229
Considering that the average soldier is a POG who hasn't touched a weapon since boot camp, he'd kill as many as he could before they overran him.
If I happen to own a M&P Sport .22lr, can I just pop a 5.56 upper on it and call it a day?
>>34123205
if the lower receiver has a buffer tube and an AR buffer and spring and if the mag well can accept stanag mags then sure
No need, they are both .22 diameter bullets, both rounds should be interchangeable.
>>34123205
nope. pins are in a different spot to stop just that. And other crucial dimensions are different as well.
Just get the cmmg conversion kit. works great.
So my Sig M400 pistol in 300 memeout has a fucking tapered barrel so when you go to put a can on [like the one I just waited a year to get] you need to purchase a taper cap from Sig so you can use your shim washers on a 90 degree to time your adapter. Guess what? No one has this fucking part. Sig: "Pay more now so you can pay more later. Also fuck you. Thanks"
>buy sig
>complain about sig being expensive
You shit in your own bed, now you gotta sleep in it.
>>34122492
maybe you're just not ready for firearms as a hobby.
>>34122600
Yeah you're right. I'm just expecting too much from one of the premier manufacturers to have the necessary parts in stock to mount a non-Sig can. I knew this was going to be a pile-on so come up with something better.

So I'd like to buy a glock 21 and this glock 21 has a golden slide release and at th back if the slide there's a part with bio hazard art.
Says its custom and kinda looks like it is.
I asked what gen it was, how many rounds(I know they'll lie), and what specifically is custom about it.
I got an email from someone named emanuel oboh and they responded with
Its glock 21 gen 4 less than 30 shots been through it
It seems like they don't know what gen it is or anything else about it which makes it seem Ike they stole it.
My question is, how melanin rich is this gentleman and how culturally enriched will I get if I actually go meet him to buy the gun?
Price is 450.
>>34121281
meet at a police station
>>34121281
if you have any doubts about it, just don't do it.
