Have intermediate cartridges made the submachinegun obsolete?
Maybe in a military capacity. They're still good for police work.
>>35011044
kevlar body armor did.
No, they still had the crew purpose of being a heli-pilot's arm as well as a tanker crew weapon. Great for close range since most Intermediate Rifles weren't small enough and were too expensive to field consistently for the cost at the time. Now the subgun is "obsolete" in a military setting, but is still widely used for police use and VIP security details.
Consider that an M3 Submachine gun would cost $15 ($34.83 in 1972 and $203 in 2016) and a CAR-15 would easily stretch into the $200-$300 range (I couldn't find documentation, I'm going off of rough estimates of value, but the inflation from 1972 to 2016 would be $1435.45). Which at that point, that's a LOT of money for every tanker, truck driver, and other positions where an SMG would fill. SubGuns filled a niche that was perfect for their low cost. With modern short rifles catching up, they're "obsolete" in the modern military sense, but they still have purpose for LEOs and Security (as I stated above)
Alright, I've decided to join the parachute regiment of the British Army. I'm 18 but unfortunately I've got a bit of a baby face and look about 15-16. Will I get fucking ripped into if i try to join?
One bloke I spoke to said that I'd better not even think of joining the paras unless I can grow a full beard. Anyone on here who served with them or is serving with them have any advice?
>>35011036
Don't let some "Bloke" dictate how you choose your regiment. Do your research and start running now. Do more research into the Army's roles yourself before finalizing for the Infantry. The more knowledge you show will get you a better grade at selection and in faster.
You are being Shit Tested to see if you crumble under pressure. "He who Hesitates Is Lost" The 1st months will be gloriously hard to see if you have the mettle to be a proper soldier; all your training is aimed at putting an AB unit in the field where it will be surrounded by superior forces and attacked W/O mercy. It takes a unique individual to deal with such physical and emotional stress. If you have doubts either put them aside and join-up or give-up now and save the tax-payer the expense of testing you
Nobody gives a god damn fucking shit what you look like
You know the drill. Lock them slides back, pull those bolts back, and swing those cylinders open, so we guess what it is.

Why does /k/ give the indian INSAS rifle so much shit?
Atleast our rifle works unlike the shitty disfunctional QBZ-95 which has retarded safety positioning and doesn't work half the time.

Why don't the Indian tribes and/or reservations have their own National Guard units?
Cause those godless savages were too busy dancing in drum circles and spinning peace beads instead of making gun powder.
>>35010660
Do you want another little bighorn?
Just keep them drunk and working on casinos.
>>35010660
They have Thier own cops, they can request US national gaurd and/or aid. Nothing ever happenes there that local cops can't deal with.

So is the NRA getting more political and trying to actively push back against Antifa and the media or are they just trying to manufacture a crisis to boost sales?
>>35010446
Both
Step back and think about it for a second. If the NRA actually was effective enough to get what they say they wanted (no state gun restrictions and full embrace of the 2nd amendment) they wouldn’t be needed would they? They’re only useful enough to keep money flowing their way and getting a token victory every now and then.

This is the conundrum of self terminating jobs. Lawyers, politicians, doctors, police, ect... would be out of a job if they actually did their fucking jobs correctly.

Royal Navy submarines of the future conceptualised
Cdr Peter Pipkin, the Royal Navy's fleet robotics officer, said: "Today's Royal Navy is one of the most technologically advanced forces in the world, and that's because we have always sought to think differently and come up with ideas that challenge traditional thinking."
In the 18th Century the Royal Navy began sheathing ships in copper - dramatically improving speed - and the dreadnought revolutionised naval warfare in the run up to World War One.
The new concepts were dreamed up by scientists from BAE Systems, Rolls Royce, Lockheed Martin and the Ministry of Defence, who were asked to envisage submarine warfare in 50 years' time.
The challenge was to design craft that are cheap to run and deadly in battle.
Cdr Pipkin added: "If only 10% of these ideas become reality, it will put us at the cutting edge of future warfare and defence operations."
So how do the designs look?
>>35010358
1. Nautilus 100 mothership
Based on a hybrid between a whale shark and a manta ray, the mothership's hull would be 3D-printed and built from super-strong alloys and acrylics, with surfaces that can morph in shape.
With tunnel drive propulsion similar to a Dyson bladeless fan, it could travel at 150 knots, sucking water through the bow and expelling it from the stern.
A crew of 20 would live on board, and the vessel could dock at underwater stations based around the world.
2. Eel unmanned vehicles
Launched from weapons bays on the mothership and themselves armed, these submarines would travel hundreds of miles in near-silence using sine wave propulsion.
Their main purpose would be to eject individual sensor pods that use lasers to communicate with each other, forming an underwater communication network.
3. Dissolvable micro drones
These gizmos would be launched from the eel vessels in large groups, and could be directed to block uptakes and intakes on enemy craft, rendering them inoperative.
They could carry out reconnaissance, shadow foreign submarines or undertake escort duties.
Made from saltwater soluble polymers - like capsules for washing machines - they can be dissolved when secrecy demands.

Can't tell if it's a P30 or P30L. Too much flash to guess the ammo.
When did gunpowder start to become really prevalent in European Wars? Is the 16th century a good estimate?
Seems reasonable in general for the mass adoption handheld firearms, though it varies a bit with which war and so on. Siege artillery would be a bit earlier, so say 15th century I guess. You get a really good look into many of the hows, whens and whys of the transition to gunpowder in "Weapons and Warfare in Renaissance Europe" by Bert S. Hall.

More like second half of the 15th century.
