So I bought this Damascus steel gladius from this tribesman from Judea, should I be worried that I got screwed out of my money?
>>33434888
>Gladius

Enjoy getting disemboweled faggot
Boy us master race Germanic tribesmen sure have the best warriors and aren't literally who's in the world right now
Ok, so I Know you're all are going to say a sword is useless in a shtf scenario, I accept this, but I will still have one as a side arm. My question is which sword would be the best to use?
>>33434640
A bat
Ubiquitous and simple to use
>>33434640
>My question is which sword would be the best to use?
Sorry not sorry but if you're asking this question then you're going to get killed by a Mexican with a machete if the zambos ever rise. Go with what you like, and if you really want to go nuts you can pay someone to teach you how to use it.
Lots of people who aren't just LARPing go with a large knife or a decent machete, consider that as well. If you're too lazy to take any sort of lessons you can at least cut a bunch of BS in you backyard and learn to sharpen a blade without worrying about fucking up an expensive sword.
>side arm
Think about it for a second. At the weight of a sword, you could carry quite a few spare mags. Heck you could carry a spare pistol with a full mag and still come out on top. How many enemies could you defeat with those (and how many of those would defeat you if you only had a sword?)
A sword is not a good side arm. It's an idea if you live in nogunsland, which is when it becomes your main arm (unless you want to carry a spear or something).
In that case, get something you're training with. Otherwise, get a machete.

I am OK with this.
Am making a repeating gauss pistol (coil gun) at the moment and was just wondering why you can't just have one huge solenoid to fire a ferrous projectile, my friend who has made one says you need multiple solenoids and infrared detectors between them.
>>33433600
You can, it'll just be less effective.
Why would that happen? Surely more solenoid would equal more velocity?
>>33433665
You would need disproportionately more power due to the resistance posed by more wire. It requires less power to put multiple coils and IR sensors in series.
Pic very much related
To keep things short, consider the following
>have shot XDs-9 before, liked it
>have not shot CZ RAMI, but liked the CZ-75
>not a big fan of the grip/trigger safety on the XDs
>not a big fan of the width of the CZ RAMI
>would carry XDs loaded
>would carry CZ RAMI half-cocked, safety off
I'm not worried about ND from either, but you can berate me for it anyway
My main concern is the width of the CZ RAMI. Watching videos of people holding it, it looks awfully thick to CC. But I also don't have any hands-on experience CCing (this would be my first handgun, I'm mostly a riflefag)
I like them both honestly, and they're more or less the same price as far as I can see
what do
xd not cause its a xd and xd is better but cause its striker fired instead of hammer and you want it for ccw. hammers are great at jabbing you in the side when you bend
>>33433516
why are you considering the XDm and not the XD? jw
The biggest difference is loaded weight. The RAMI is a heavy little bastard.
And then the other one is a Springfield.
post radio stuff, preferably the buying guide. I want to go buy a radio
Bump. Also interested

consider a new fm radio for your car, the digital ones get very good reception and the bass feels great
Post,what is in your opinion, the ugliest AK variant.
>no hackjobs, or one-offs
The Polish wire folding stock is pretty fucking ugly.
>>33433136
The vepr, as in the Ukrainian bullpup AK74
The Tantals are a close second.
You can transfer fuel while midair but what about ammo? Can you think of a way you could reload a flying plane?
Sure, but only for its guns.
Imagine there is a port on the back which can accept a large box which is a magazine for 30mm or 20mm or something. The refueling plane extends a rigid structure that holds the new magazine to be installed on rails, and it slides down into the port on the fighter plane. Then some motors in the fighter plane move it into position, and the old magazine box thing that is empty is jettisoned (and probably guided down safely with a parachute because it costs several million dollars and should be reused).
Something similar could be done with missiles and bombs, but only if the plane keeps them internally like on F-22s and F-35s, I can't imagine this would work for wing mounted weapons.
I can see a future in which drones can loiter around an area to transfer missiles and bombs to jets while they are in the air
>>33433364
A drone complex enough to transfer missiles could certainly fire them don't you think?
I'm 22, almost 23, and was thinking about rotc to finish up my mechanical engineering degree. I had to drop out because of financial issues and bad grades (from working so fucking much), and I was hoping the military could help solve both those issues. Is that a possibility? Am I too old? Are my past grades a disqualified for even being considered?
>>33433007
Talk to a recruiter. You should still be good. Depends on which branch you want to join they have different age cut off dates.
>>33433007
>too lazy to look up the max age to join the military
As long as you're not some fatbody you should be fine.
Do you really want to be in a management position where everyone younger than you is a shithead, everyone your age looks at you with disdain because you're fresh out of school and they've been doing their jobs while you played Xbox and fucked girls in school, and everyone older than you just sees another little shit they have to teach because you didn't learn jack shit in school?
Cause if so you don't need the military for that.

Well? What do? Do you have the equipment to survive the fallout and bunker down? Is there a second safer location you need decide to get to? Are you going to wait for help and go into the cuckshed fema camps?

This.

Grab my bug out bag and start out West. Not before I euthanize my battle buddy, though, that's what I dread the most if/when shit hits the fan. I just can't take care of him in that sort of situation.
>The closest major city got nuked.
Thank God

Was US high command just completely oblivious to the German MG34 or?
>>33432852
>oblivious to the German MG34
yea, just like everyone
Not like everyone isn't aware of its flaws, but if you got a shitton already in the armories and the lines to facilitate production no reason to not use it. You got fireteams that need an automatic weapon, and this is an automatic weapon there isn't much more reasoning beyond that it was needed so it was used.
