Hans, please.

Hey fellas,

somewhat gun-savvy German here.
I hope you can help me figure out something that happened to a colleague of mine just yesterday.
He was just chilling on the couch when suddenly his woodstove exploded, blasting the door open, filling his living room with soot and embers. Luckily noone was harmed. After extinguishing everything he cleaned the mess up and found a bullet in the stove (see image). No casing or parts thereof were found.

According to his account (he forgot to bring it today), the bullet is somewhat over 10mm in diameter and about 60mm long. As we are in southern Germany, I figured this could only be a .50 BMG, either a leftover from WW2 or from the various barracks and training areas the US still entertains in these parts - afaik our own armed forces don't really use comparable calibers.

What I have gathered so far is that the bullet must have been lodged inside a larger log of wood, as noone had seen it previously even though the wood was moved and stacked several times.

What I can't figure out:
1) what kind of bullet could cause a mid-sized woodstove (maybe 8kW) to blow open? While I have found info about .50 BMG tracer, incendiary and AP rounds, nobody mentions HE.
2) how can a bullet enter a log of wood without significantly deforming?
3) Assuming it was a HE bullet, shouldn't it have blown up completely? It seems mostly intact to me.

I'd appreciate it if you could maybe provide some insight into what might have happened.

Also AMA, gonna check this thread several times in the next few days. Hopefully he brings the bullet in on monday, then I could provide more detailled info.

Thanks!

Depending on the impact velocity a standard ball round could do pretty much everything you described. Look into what happened to insurgents behind concrete block walls in Iraq and how the blocks were almost as dangerous as the bullet on impact
>>
>>33866187
The bullet sat in the wood for years, possibly decades. It was definitely not fired recently.
What you are describing is an instant reaction (bricks shattering and acting as shrapnel).

How is this going to play out? It WILL happen and it better happen before the norks can put their nukes on reliable missiles, we don't want even an inaccurate nuke getting launched at a carrier group. In their current form they could easily nuke a landing zone.

Based off of Iraq 2003 and accounting for the 15~ tech increase and the fact NK is a lot more powerful than 2003 Iraq I'd say it will play out something like this.

>heaviest and most intense saturation bombing we have seen since WW2 using B2s and cruise missiles
>NK arty sites, missile sites, nuclear facilities and airfields will be the first to be hit
>followup strikes on C&C, supply depos and large troop concentrations
>Saturation bombing duration: 10 days
>USN will simultaneously neutralize NKs Navy and mop up the remnants of its airforce
>American and South Korean armor and infantry do not bother crossing the DMZ but mount a naval invasion of Eastern North Korea
>Objective: capture Pyongyang in 7 days
>Reichstag style battle for their party headquarters pitching western SF against North Korean diehards
>once Pyongyang falls a hearts and minds campaign will begin, mostly giving out food and basic first aid

It's not, all we can do now is contain them.
>>
>>33865204

Acc. to a pretty thorough report on Nork's Arty capabilities, it is estimated that they will lose 1% an hour. And accomplish next to nothing for their trouble because of how the border is laid out, and their inability to mass forces on any specific area. The greater Seoul area is capable of sheltering 20 million people inside of bomb shelters and "heavy" structures. The estimated casualties from Nork arty is somewhere in the tens of thousands, at most. Not hundreds of thousands, or millions. This is even accounting for things like biological and chemical weapons.

Everything else is ephemeral. The arty threat is really the only thing that North Korea has as a card to play. They can't outlast, or outgun, and they don't have the manpower or supplies necessary to mount any sort of offensive action.

>inb4 "But they have millions of soldiers"

By whose metric? No, really, whose metric?

And even if they did, they don't have enough ammo, weapons, or ways to mobilize their manpower. They literally don't. A lot of the soldiers are literally moved around by fucking ox cart because they don't have enough gas to go around. Further, we know for a fact that Nork is stuck in a perpetual famine thanks to that retarded dam they built. The infantry take priority in terms of food, sure, but it isn't enough to go around once people start hoarding. And it definitely isn't enough to go around once the meager supply chain is interrupted.

We learned a lot in Iraq, a lot more than what you will hear about in the news. The locals can be bought and paid for, every time. We can destroy all of their natural resources and make them dependent on us. We can get biometrics from every single citizen that is forced into this program and record them. We still do this.

This allows for mass pacification of the populace. Don't buy in the whole God Emp. Kim thing, it's just a facade presented and enforced under penalty of death. Throw the beggars a couple of MRE's and watch what happens.

>It WILL happen
nobody WANTS reunification (even if it was peaceful) due to what it would entail. It would trigger a refugee crisis of epic proportions, and the Worst Koreans would have to shell out massive amounts of economic aid to prop up whatever remained of North Korea for decades. Korean reunification would make German reunification look like a cakewalk because the Ossies at least managed to create a semi-decent, functioning state.

keeping the status quo is the best possible outcome for everybody involved, and it's what we'll get for the foreseeable future unless the Norks collapse on their own.

> it better happen before the norks can put their nukes on reliable missiles, we don't want even an inaccurate nuke getting launched at a carrier group. In their current form they could easily nuke a landing zone.
I don't think you understand why the Norks want nukes. The Norks want to ensure peace through nuclear deterrence, and your idiotic "better fuck with them before they can fuck with us" attitude is exactly what they want to address. The more you prod them with a stick, the faster they'll work towards developing more effective nuclear weapons, and no amount of sanctions or finger-wagging from the UN will stop them.

>the fact NK is a lot more powerful than 2003 Iraq
what sort of crack are you smoking? At least Iraq had the benefit of military aid from numerous foreign beneficiaries, meanwhile the Norks are even shittier than the Iraqis were 15 years ago and are only friends with the Chinese, and that relationship is beginning to sour. They would blow over in a stiff breeze, never mind an actual armed conflict.

beating the North Koreans into a bloody pulp is would be the easiest part, the shitstorm would only truly begin after the war was over.

You're a fucking moron if you even have to ask that.

Thinking of buying a .40 handgun., but everybody shits on it.

Is .40 dead like .357 SIG or something? It's still super cheap, still cheaper than 45 and not much more than 9mm.

Is it that there's no appreciable performance difference between that and 9mm/45?

Seems like it just for competition shooting now.

.40 S&W is ok, but it's only really worthwhile if you're shooting them hot. Otherwise you're just shooting expensive 9mm.

Same applies for .45 ACP to an extent.
>>
Imagine a bullet that travels as slow as a .45 with the temporary and permanent wound cavities the size of a 9mm.

Literally the worst of both worlds.

How is a shotgun viable for home defense when shooting a shotgun without ear protection literally makes you go deaf for 15 seconds
75 posts and 10 images submitted.
>>
Because I don't live in a horrifying ghetto where I'll have to fire my shotgun inside and without earpro over and over and over again every single day. Once or twice will hurt a little, but is unlikely to do any lasting damage. It's repeated exposure that gets you.
>>
>>33863831
Depends on where in the house you shoot it.

Also, what else would you use for home defense besides a gun?
Which do you prefer?
Hearing damage for the rest off your life?
Or the rest of your life to be a fifteen seconds.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me (and probably to whoever broke into your house)

There are a few other things but the savage/Webley thing gets to me because it's obvious they'd done some research but couldn't be bothered to understand that they're the same thing with a different rollmark.
The rest are forgivable because most of it is just obscure shit.
