not disagreeing that its crazy but also makes me think, how relevant are huge attack submarines these days? not saying that they aren't, just wondering what role they play

like when was the last time a country actually used a huge submarine to attack something

>>32942950
Not that long ago. USS Louisville and USS Pittsburgh fired in anger during Desert Storm in 1991, and HMS Conqueror sank an Argie cruiser during the Falklands in 1982.

Not a "huge attack submarine" but a Nork sub sank the ROKS Cheonan in 2010.

>>32942981
Also,
>inb4 1991 was a long time ago
Literally who the fuck else has had anything floating to shoot at? I mean, there's unconfirmed reports of US attack subs firing cruise missiles in support of OIF and OEF, but they're unconfirmed, and literally every other conflict that actually had shots fired that involved someone with attack subs was against a third-world landlocked insurgency.

I didn't really like Battlestar Galactica

>>32942755
it was a retarded concept but it led to a bretty good grenade launcher so I'm ok with it

>C-wire gloves

They really were trying to create the least practical infantryman with that project. I know for a fact that CVC and flyers' gloves existed back then and they put the poor bastard in c-wire gloves.

>proposed wheeled vehicle
The Eitan is not based on the Merkava's hull.

>Massive Behemoth Tonnage chassis should be the same standard as other frames.

Strykers and Bradley's are fairly modular from what I can recall.

>>32942780
My bad, I just assumed because of its looks.

>>32942786
>Massive Behemoth Tonnage chassis should be the same standard as other frames.
But 44t (Type 10) or 50t (Type 90) or 46t (T-90) is quite possible, and it is acceptable considering Bradley is about 30t and they're constantly adding stuff to it. I don't think being a behemoth will benefit tanks that much in modern warfare anyway.

>>32942605
Buy a deactivated one and reactivate it on a Form 1, stupid.

>>32942605
funny you should ask, we were just discussing that.

lot of money and paperwork. deactivated ones are cheaper if you just want one for your wall.

hi atf

>>32942492
I'm sorry sir but that would be illegal without the proper stamps and paperwork

>>32942390
Basic physics.

>>32942390
Because locking lugs

When you pull back on the bolt handle it turns the locking lugs, unlocking the action

other Texans will understand this

>>32942264
It's just an excuse for buying a cool gimmick, the same way people who buy magnum handguns are never actually expecting to face off with a bear.

Do you own any dogs?

>>32942287
Why can't you shoulder it?? That is something I never understood!?

>>32942368
shouldering it constitutes re-manufacturing the weapon as a rifle. a short barrelled rifle specifically which is illegal unless you pay the tax stamp

Truly the best AK platform.

The Swiss just make good shit.

But what does it do?!

Because this is America, dammit

>>32942022
Cause .038 more

.338 Lapua has like 20% more energy, it's firing heavier bullets at the same velocity. It's gunna do better at long range.

Generally no, but it depends on what state. Some states allow shooting someone to defend your property

>we

Stop giving a shit what /k/ thinks, anon. /k/ is equally divided between people who know what they're talking about, people who don't, people who do but shitpost based on their opinions, and people who don't but shitpost based on their opinions. Like what you like and don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. Unless you're just asking out of curiosity, which is fine. Sick of people asking if things are /k/ approved like they have to please internet stranger faggots.

>It could be a pretty cool gun in my opinion

It could be, but in my opinion, despite looking cool as fuck, I think it'll end up being a gimmick like the KRISS Vector, where the theory behind it is sound but the cost will deter it from ever being popular. Also people bitch about how mounting a light on it would be way low despite that like 10% of people mount lights on their guns. Truth is most folks can't or won't spend $1100 on a pistol, especially a brand new unproven one.

>>32941934
At the very least it's sci-fi as shit.
If it's good enough to still be being sold in five years I'll grab one.

>>32941934
I appreciate anything that's not an AR or Glock variant.

Good times.
