No, he made it great again. We should all hope he gets reincarnated and does it again, this time with nuclear weapons.

So i'm reading this "Fixed Permanent Fortifications at the Operational Level of War" and I realize what a walking tank/mech would actually be good for.
The primary drawback of a walking vehicle is going to be its speed but when your dueling with static defenses that isn't really an issue is it?
So in this case what does walking offer over a tracked design?
3 things really stand out in my mind:
>First and most obvious is the ability to navigate truly extreme terrain to move past or attack a position from an unexpected direction.
>Second is the ability to utilize a completely fixed gun like the Stridsvagn 103 for no additional complexity or design compromises.
It could potentially use its fixed weapon while moving unlike the STRV 103, Sidestepping around corners eliminates the weakness WW2 TDs had in city fighting.
>Thirdly Legs offer redundancy not even a quad tracks could attain, Legs can be used to help with and be replaced wholesale speeding up recovery.
The result is a vehicle carrying more armor and firepower than a tank of equivalent weight, Attacking you from a position an equivalent tank could not reach.
Pic related is is the T28 super heavy tank/T95 GMC designed to duel with static fortifications which ended up not being required.
A massive 12" thick belt of armor covering the the entire front of the tank and a big gun were considered more important than maintaining a speed greater than 8 MPH.

Yeah it sure would be handy to have mechs for all those elaborate static fortifications that have been used in wars over the past 30 years
>>

Yeah, all those scary static fortifications that we CAN'T oblitera by any other means, uh ?
Seriously fuck off. Mechs are cool but, with our current technology at least, it's not viable.

Hey /k/, my friend offered to sell me his used ruger mini 14 with a scope for 250$. He'd throw in 3 20 round mags for another 25$. I'm not sure about the specifics on the scope but we were out shooting today and I was pretty accurate with it. Should I take him up on it?

Buy it now for fuck's sake, before he realizes that a new mini costs $800 and used ones go for $600-700

>>34084275
Yeah, I thought the price was low when he first told me that but then he went on about how he doesn't need another gun that shoots 5.56 (he already has an AR). Pretty sure I'm gonna take him up on it.

Were ninjas/shinobi the original tier 1 operators?
>Ninjutsu (忍術?), sometimes used interchangeably with the modern term ninpō (忍法?),[1] is the strategy and tactics of unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare and espionage purportedly practiced by the shinobi (commonly known outside Japan as ninja).

yeah. modern unconventional warfare, just like everything used by modern mankind, originated from Japan.

Meh, it's pretty close.
You have plain clothe civie-looking combatants that are actually highly trained and with the aim of either counter-guerrilla or assassination.
And they use a variety of gears considered weird compared to the mainstay army.

>Ninja utilized a large variety of tools and weaponry, some of which were commonly known, but others were more specialized. Most were tools used in the infiltration of castles. A wide range of specialized equipment is described and illustrated in the 17th century Bansenshukai,[73] including climbing equipment, extending spears,[66] rocket-propelled arrows,[74] and small collapsible boats

Took my CMP Service Grade M1 Garand out for her first range trip today.
She zeroed real nice for windage. I set the rear elevation knob to 200m(yards?). I was 6 inches above point of aim at 25m. 12 inches, maybe more, at 50m. At 100m the bullets went clear above the target paper.

Right so I have the choice in choosing between a .22lr semi (I chose the GSG stg-44 because it looks neat) or a .357 lever action.
Now, I want to ask someone who has dealt with home invaders, or knows something about it.
What's more effective at deterring someone?
A storm of .22's or slow .357's?
What I think, the .22's would want them to flee faster, due to the shock and awe of how many rounds you're shooting at them, not necessarily in them.
Whilst a .357 would definitely stop an attacker outright.
The thing is, I'm not really in the market to kill someone.
So which of the two would be better to stop an attacker? (Pistol home defense recommendations are also welcome, but let them be under $800)

If these are your two first thoughts for what to buy for home defense, you're better off just buying a cheap shotgun, loading it with buckshot, and shooting yourself in the head with it.

Challenger 2 Best Tank of The Year

The Challenger 2 is the best tank ever made by humanity. It always has been the best tank ever made and always will be the best tank ever made.
Reasons Why:
#1 The STRONGEST armor ever made, no other tank can defeat it.
#2 The best gun ever made. It is rifled and longer than the gun on the Abrams which means it has more stopping power.
#3 Immune to RPGs
#4 Once survived over 100 missiles
#5 L94 is much more powerful than M240
#6 ammo is in armored boxes all around the fighting compartment which make it immune to its ammo exploding.
#7 longest range tank
#8 is the only tank with advanced HESH shells
#9 has the longest range kill on anything ever
#10 The heaviest tank ever made it could just run over an Abrams or a T-90.

I know that a historical problem with them were that your forward hand was in danger of a malfunction from the other cylinders and from the gap between the cylinder and the barrel even under normal circumstances.
I don't know how big of a problem this is for modern manufacturing and ammunition, but that's why they weren't historically.

I have recently purchased a GP-5 gas mask along with a filter. I don't know when it was made and i'm not really sure if it's safe. Sorry if I seem like a dumbass as i'm just a poor newfag.
Pic related, it's the writing on he side. the top had a "B" and it still had the rubber stopper at the bottom.

if you have to ask, it's almost certainly no good.
also, haven't they not made GP5 filters in like a bajillion years, and weren't the ones they did make loaded with fucking asbestos or something?

You shouldn't use it or open it at all. I know some who make fake filters for it but not functional ones.
