The only thing to do to a Jeep so it doesn't let you down is sell it.
>>33541761
OK then, so what did you do to your J80?

I don't buy a Jeep.

Biggest one would probably be timing. US spent a ton of money on M16 adoption and improvements, then had a massive surplus of weapons and parts. Americans don't want them, 3rd worlders can buy surplus M16A1s, other nations have no need for a poverty rifle.
There's a reason so many "new" designs have a strong internal resemblance to the AR-18.
Need help with planning a story. What I need to know is what the weaponry of the Red Army would look like if the USSR won the cold war. Basically this is what I have planned:
The part of the story that we are concerned with is set in an alternate history 2007, where the USSR has effectively won the cold war. It looks very much like the world of Hotline Miami, with America effectively being turned into the USSR's bitch. The country is a shell of it's former self with a very limited military budget. 'Nam-era (or what would have been 'Nam-era in our time-line) M-16s and M1911A1s are still in use by the military. And the entire country is all sorts of fucked up, with in-fighting between fascists and communists all around. Meanwhile the USSR is doing great, expanding it's influence deep into Western Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South-east Asia, Canada, and Latin America and it also has direct control over Afghanistan, China, Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Eastern Europe, both Koreas, Japan, Guam, Hawaii, and some parts of Alaska.
What I need to know is everything I can about the Red Army's small arms, fighting vehicles, and how they interacted with different parts of their sphere of influence in terms of military operation during the later stages of the cold war and how these things would have developed as the USSR grew stronger. I know that the USSR was working on all sorts of crazy stuff before 1991; silent assault rifles, silent pistols, silent revolvers, underwater assault rifles, and all sorts of stuff. I know that Putin's government has started getting the ball rolling again with things like modernizing the AK platform and the SU-35s, but I want to know what would have happened if the Rooskies had the funds and desire to crank it up to eleven. Thanks.

>if the Rooskies had the funds and desire to crank it up to eleven
It would look something like this.
>>33509663
I imagine it would just be direct upgrades of preexisting equipment, as that is what blatantly fits the Russian military ideology, but with elements from other nations for improvement on it. Taking what works from an AR platform or a G3/FAL mixed in with what makes the AK so damn good. This would probably end up as a sealed rifle with low tolerances kind of like a RK-95 or Galil with a dust cover and a rail system. Pistols would probably go the way of the Cz-75 and it's variants. Tanks would probably look like the tanks that Russia has today, as they take from design aspects from other country's tanks already. Same with aircraft. Rocket launchers would be an amalgamation of the later RPG designs, I think it would be coolest if it was a collapsing design with a targeting system.
They would keep the quality of mass production with all of this. The Russians have always believed the quality of quantity.

>It is a well-known fact within Pentagon and industry circles that low-frequency radars operating in the VHF and UHF bands can detect and track low-observable aircraft. It has generally been held that such radars can’t guide a missile onto a target—i.e. generate a “weapons quality” track. But that is not exactly correct—there are ways to get around the problem according to some experts.
>Traditionally, guiding weapons with low frequency radars has been limited by two factors. One factor is the width of the radar beam, while the second is the width of the radar pulse—but both limitations can be overcome with signal processing.
>The width of the beam is directly related to the design of the antenna—which is necessarily large because of the low frequencies involved. Early low-frequency radars like the Soviet-built P-14 Tall King VHF-band radars was enormous in size and used a semi-parabolic shape to limit the width of the beam. Later radars like the P-18 Spoon Rest used a Yagi-Uda array—which were lighter and somewhat smaller. But these early low frequency radars had some serious limitations in determining the range and the precise direction of a contact. Furthermore, they could not determine altitude because the radar beams produced by these systems are several degrees wide in azimuth and tens of degrees wide in elevation.
>>33540671
>Another traditional limitation of VHF and UHF-band radars is that their pulse width is long and they have a low pulse repetition frequency [PRF]—which means such systems are poor at accurately determining range. As Mike Pietrucha, a former Air Force an electronic warfare officer who flew on the McDonnell Douglas F-4G Wild Weasel and Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle once described to me, a pulse width of twenty microseconds yields a pulse that is roughly 19,600 ft long—range resolution is half the length of that pulse. That means that range can’t be determined accurately within 10,000 feet. Furthermore, two targets near one another can’t be distinguished as separate contacts.
>Signal processing partially solved the range resolution problem as early as in the 1970s. The key is a process called frequency modulation on pulse, which is used to compress a radar pulse. The advantage of using pulse compression is that with a twenty-microsecond pulse, the range resolution is reduced to about 180 feet or so. There are also several other techniques that can be used to compress a radar pulse such as phase shift keying. Indeed, according to Pietrucha, the technology for pulse compression is decades old and was taught to Air Force electronic warfare officers during the 1980s. The computer processing power required for this is negligible by current standards, Pietrucha said.
>>33540673
>Engineers solved the problem of directional or azimuth resolution by using phased array radar designs, which dispensed with the need for a parabolic array. Unlike older mechanically scanned arrays, phased array radars steer their radar beams electronically. Such radars can generate multiple beams and can shape those beams for width, sweep rate and other characteristics. The necessary computing power to accomplish that task was available in the late 1970s for what eventually became the Navy’s Aegis combat system found on the Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. An active electronically scanned array is better still, being even more precise.
>With a missile warhead large enough, the range resolution does not have to be precise. For example, the now antiquated S-75 Dvina—known in NATO parlance as the SA-2 Guideline—has a 440-pound warhead with a lethal radius of more than 100 feet. Thus, a notional twenty-microsecond compressed pulse with a range resolution of 150 feet should have the range resolution to get the warhead close enough—according to Pietrucha’s theory.
>The directional and elevation resolution would have to be similar with an angular resolution of roughly 0.3 degrees for a target at thirty nautical miles because the launching radar is the only system guiding the SA-2. For example, a missile equipped with its own sensor—perhaps an infrared sensor with a scan volume of a cubic kilometer—would be an even more dangerous foe against an F-22 or F-35.
tl;dr
American stealth is easily defeated.
It was only a matter of time really. But then again, conventional wars are a thing of the past.
Hey /k/, in 3h from now I will go talk to a german eastfront ww2 vet. What are some interesting questions I should ask? Keep it serious, no nazi memes.
Did you enjoy losing the war? Did yoou enjoy soviets taking berlin? Why didnt you die you nazi faggot?
>>33539997
I hope the three hours have not passed already.
I offer three questions.
- what did he think, at the time, about the soldiers from other nations fighting at their side?
- What dental maintenance was available? Any company dentist, were they issued fluorite etc.
- What was inner discipline and justice like; not formal but keeping each other in check?

Its almost summer /k/ and it has come time to look for a new pair of shoes to wear that can be worn daily and used to kick in doors if required.
Post your current shoes and post recommendations, i have no idea where to go next.

I think that the answer is obvious.

Jackboots are horrible for walking long distances. Unless you wear double socks or socks+footwraps and have them fitted by a cobbler.
Hi /k/!
I'm not all that into firearms, but my mom just bought a gun.
It's the Witness Pavona Polymer 9mm. Pic related. Yes, she got the blue sparkle variety.
What do you think, /k/? Did she make a good choice? Are you a fan?
>>33509160
Not a bad choice at all.
How much did she pay?
>>33509160
Just make sure you dont go play with a loaded gun. You wouldnt want to shoot yourself while cleaning.
Why dont you also buy a good gun and go shooting together.

Yes
This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Canada, Khardzhit Sadzhan, Ukrinform agency reports.
The opening of the arms market will be the next step in the development of cooperation in the defense sphere between Canada and Ukraine. "The relations between Canada and Ukraine are unique, the signing of the agreement in the field of defense will allow us to have much more substantive and substantive discussions on different topics, so the introduction of Ukraine into the Automatic Country Checklist On firearms will be the next step, "Sajan said.

Good
why the fuck are these things so god damn expensive in the US? these are a grunt's favorite toy (fucking every war since they was invented, soldiers have used them) i heard they are cheap and insanely easy to come by, in the middle east and Africa, so why are they 600-850 dollars in the US? you'd figure they would only be about 350-450$
is there any AK variant that's cheaper? i would like to get one ,but holy hell are they pricey
>>33538741
Well sure you could potentially make them that cheap but they'd be utter shit.
Because milling/stamping and demand with quality materials is better than pot metal shit that was used and abused by some snow/sand niggers... Plus import/funswitch bans make those not surface in the US.
Also, WASR is a decent cheap starter AK. It ain't a cheap hobby, so if you can, just buy it in pieces till you make the one you'd like.

Hello, fellow fitizen. :^)
Is this going to be the next big thing we hear about for the next 6 months?

It's a situation that paints the AR is a great light to anybody remotely moderate. The only people who think this story is negative are 100% unsavable gun haters already.

It was already settled in court and was decided the shooter was cleared of any illegal actions.

Why would I want an antiquated rifle chambered in an outdated cartridge? Why should I want a rifle with magazines that max out at 20 rounds? Why would I want a rifle that weighs more empty that my AR or AK weighs fully loaded? Why would I prefer to carry 3 20 round magazines instead of 6 30 round magazines at the same weight?
