What is the worst military idea ever and why is it the magazine cut off?
It's not, the worst was invading Russia.
>its a terrible idea to make it easy to load a blank for rifle grenades
>>34080028
>They actually wanted cut off plate in their semi auto handguns
>Stable, lightly-armored, heavily-defended weapons platform and troop transport for combat missions, with massive array of weaponry for battle theater domination
>Array of rocket and missile launchers
>Eight 50mm sentry guns which were adapted from automated perimeter defense stations to lock onto oncoming enemy missiles/rockets, or any other object not coded and recognized as friendly, and then the targeting computer punches them out of the sky
>Range: 680 miles fully loaded
Would such a gunship be feasible in real-world scenarios?
>>34079994
Well, the specs you mentionned are doable, just not like your pic.
Also, the question is rather "would such a gunship be desirable or useful in real-world scenarios ?"
>>34080026
>just not like your pic.
Why?
>>34080062
Not that anon but those fans wouldn't lift half of that "gunship".
Not that its a good idea anyway.
Why have we stopped using low profile assault guns ?
The lack of a turret allows an extra strong hull structure to be made with an extra big gun, allowing for spearhead breakthroughs
they are perfect for open field combat, with troops leading behind them.
they can blow up enemy bunkers, positions, walls, obstacles, vehicles, tanks and they're much smaller targets for rpg's
they can lay in ambush and simultaneously open enemy fire
above all they are cheaper than full on mbts but offer even more protection due stronger super structure
the stuh is just a historical example
My guess is that the sheer accuracy and range of modern armor and artillery makes a small, sad, very innacurate POS like that completely obsolete. What good is heavier armor when an Rheinmetal 120mm has an effective range of 4-8km doesn't even need to get any closer than that? What good is a bigger gun if you can't hit the enemy accurately?
tl:dr if projectile guidance weren't a thing these might be useful.
Being a smaller target doesn't help that much in a battlefield populated with guided munitions (many of which use a top-attack terminal profile). The limited angles of fire, not just horizontally, but also vertically, are a major downside. Between MBTs and combined gun & ATGM armed IFVs carrying ATGM armed infantry, there isn't room for the assault gun.
What is the best caliber in most situations?
This is being discussed especially in Finland at the moment because FDF uses exclusively 7.62 mm caliber guns, but it also aspires to be as Nato-compatible as possible. The problem is that 5.56 mm caliber is the Nato-standard.
You need to give us the numbers after the x.
Anyways, they're both good. People wouldn't be using em for 50 years if they weren't.
>best caliber in most situations
>between 7.62x39 and 5.56
7.62

Ai, check your email. Shadilay still not in

Are you retarded?
hey /k/, whats a cheapish fun gun to build? I was looking at uzis and psls and maybe an ar10, but i feel like theres something cooler and maybe cheaper to build. plus i cant find a good psl barrel anywhere.
>>34079520
A Vz.61.
Mine was $375 for kit with original barrel and then $295 for the receiver.
The kits can be had off of Sarge's Surplus and the receivers off gun broker.
The build is incredibly easy, probably easier than an AR15 due to the lack of roll pins.
Pic related, mine.
>>34079578
that does look neat
>>34079695
It really is, it's incredibly accurate and has very low recoil. Only downside is .32 is disproportionately expensive.
Other neat builds I could see are a hungarian AK, maybe an RPK, or some kind of super shorty ar pistol?
How small we've become

this thread sucks
TV and radio stations just announced that nuclear war is imminent as China has just fired all of their ICMBs towards the US.
In 30 min (or less) your life will change forever.
What do you do?
What odds do you give yourself on surviving the first wave of the attack? Will you survive the next 3-6 months?
>>34078033
I'd probably steal my neighbor's car and drive as fast as I fucking can towards my nearest air base.
>better to die having fun in the wreck then radiation or 90% 3rd degree burns
>better to go for a direct nuking than that shit is
>if the base isn't struck for whatever reason, in have refuge
Base is about 45 minutes away. Other friend's house is 30. Camping in his basement is the second option.

Post airshit guns you wish were real
>>34077930
I actually talked to the company. These are made for Airsoft but can handle having the real life counterparts as the host weapon. Especially the AK version.
Get outta here nogun
>>34077977
is clap a new nigger word?
Cowbow Bebop is set in 2071 and all the firearms featured are real world guns.
Do you guys think it's likely we'll still be using a lot of the firearms we have today even into the late 21st Century? Or even beyond?
Gun designs pretty much peaked and everyone's pushing out Glock clones so yes, we'll be using the same shit forever.
>>34077914
Well, the 1911 is still used quite a bit, as well as a lot of DA revolvers with 75+ year old tech, so while today's guns may not be most used in 2071, there will be plenty of nostalgia fags out there carrying Glocks
>>34077987
I would pay to see a time where people are actually nostalgic over Glocks.
Was the Tiger a good tank or not?
no
Yes, but not for Germany in 1942.
>>34077606
Yes, but perhaps not the best investment.
