Why is the BMP-2 so lightly armored?

It seems like a solid vehicle, but to be made in '80 and be so lighty armored...
And with no real option for armor upgrade.

Unless you're Israel nobody builds heavily armored troop transports.

Too right, my friend. I was driving mine home from the grocery store back in '06 and my neighbor tagged me with his 120mm recoilless rifle. Obliterated the whole load of groceries. I never should have bought a BMP-2, they just aren't armored well enough. That could have been my kids in that crew compartment!

Why do people advocate rifles and 12g for home defense? aren't handguns objectively better?

>>why would you need a safe for a rifle and not a handgun?
handguns can be effectively hidden without a safe, rifles can't.

>>Objecticely better round choice
And? you think you're fighting off armored CIA assassins? just a couple of shots from 45 or 9mm will drop the intruder dead

>>more stable
>>better recoil control
doesn't matter as long as you're not a shit tier shooter

>>you can suppress a rifle too, it may even be easier
45 can be effectively suppressed, rifle rounds only drop 10 decibles (unless you plan on loading subsonic 556 which won't even cycle)

Alright so I'm looking for a pocket size handgun for conceal carry and I like the ppk style but not the 380 style.

Are there any handguns that has the looks and style of the ppk but chambered in 9mm?

An HT on a rubber duck antenna to another HT on a rubber duck antenna is pretty limited. Maybe a mile over suburban flat terrain. More with some elevation and less if you're in an urban setting. At 5 or 6 watts and a compromise antenna it's not great.

Was thinking about this earlier, wondered if anyone on /k/ wanted to wax hypothetical with me.

Let's say you're Mussolini and the year is 1938. Your military is comprised of:

Regia Aeronautica: Outdated and slow aircraft, but a large number of skilled pilots. Main craft is the Fiat Falco, which had an open cockpit and limited communications capabilities.

Regia Marina: The world's fourth largest navy at the time, but numbers padded by retrofitted non-military craft. At the time of France's capitulation, your primary battleships were not seaworthy. No radar and no sonar, so very limited night engagement ability.

Regia Esercito: You've got a large army, but the training was very poor. Your troops are outfitted with Carcano rifles with poor accuracy and an uncommon ammunition (6.5x52mm). You've got a tank crew with very little training, in fact, your first official tank training wasn't until 1941.

Assume you have one year to start preparing and assume you can change when you enter, how, and where to deploy.

How would you have turned around Italy's fates in WW2? What would you have prioritized? What would you have upgraded?

>>
>>33267425
Don't get involved. Industrially, culturally, and economically, Italy was not ready to get involved with something as large as WW2. Its' officer corps was inexperienced and mainly an aristocratic function.

>Your troops are outfitted with Carcano rifles with poor accuracy and an uncommon ammunition

Carcanos aren't any more inaccurate than any other 40s-era bolt action rifles, and the "uncommon ammunition" wasn't uncommon, they had factories cranking the stuff out.

I can't defend Tankettes though. Dead end WW1 concept.

It's kinda simple really.
It's kinda like dicks with cool cars that have gen of the same model and jack up the price an absurd amount just because they can.
Kinda like machinegun collectors (some of them at least)

I'm surprised more candidates haven't dropped out, honestly. We're only a couple months off from the vote and we still have 14 people running. I figured we'd be down to at most 10 by now.

so for about $2200 plus shipping and the transfer fee you can get an M203. i plan on saving up for one for smoke, flares, less-lethal, hornets nests and fireworks. why is it so rare to see anyone with one? 2200 bucks inst really that much. you could blow that on an AR build easy. they dont have to be pre 1986 like full auto and you can do so much with them. is there a reason you dont see them more often.

Because you'd need individual stamps for any rounds that actually do any form of meaningful exploding.
>>
>>33289694

And also, if you only want less lethal and fireworks, 37mm does the job almost as well and much, much, much cheaper.
>>
>>33289694
true but anything with explosives is fucking hard to get and you have to have an inspected storage facility like a underground explosives magazine. so they are kind of out of the question regardless.

I have an opportunity to buy a used Remington 700 BDL in 7mm rem mag. It appears to be made in the 91 or 62. I'm guessing its 91. Guy wants 4 hundo for it. Should I go for it? Is it inherently superior to a new rifle within the same price range?

Also post pics and discuss other bolt guns.
