Hey /k/, what do you all think of 7.62x39mm? What benefits does the caliber offer in practical applications like hunting, pest control, defense, and cost effectiveness?
Do 5.45 or 5.56 have any more benefit?

5.45 and 5.56 both have better ballistics. They'll fly straighter, go farther, and be more precise than the best 7.62x39 ever will be.

7.62x39 however is a larger round that hits harder. A proper soft point round or polymer tipped round can take deer while 5.45 and 5.56 could take smaller game.

There is a lot more that could be said but a simple google search will be much faster and more concise.

>What does /k/ think of it
Dunno, what does /k/ think of it

>What benefits does it offer
Better for larger game


>Which has more benefit
I think per round cost is comparable between the two. It is cheaper and easier to get a functional platform that shoots 7.62x39 than it is one that shoots 5.56. But the difference is 200 bucks at absolute worst.

Both overpenetrate like the dickens in a HD scenario.

7.62x39 drops like a brick compared to 5.56, ballistically speaking.

All depends on what your budget is, and what you're trying to do specifically. And if you like the look of ancient slavshit or evil black 'salt rifles better.

>>32617133
5.56 and 5.45 can take deer fine with the right projectile. The only notable thing that 7.62x39 does better is barrier penetration.

Wouldn't be far more effective if they wore something less fancy with cammo instead?

>FAMAS
>Dassault
>Non-NATO-compatible ammunition
Is there a reason why France is such a special snowflake military-wise? There are two reasons I can think of and none of them make any sense.

>Purely to boost local industry and/or demonstrate independence from 'Murika
This doesn't make sense because France's military isn't just for show. Despite le ebin surrender monkey maymay, they're currently one of the most agressive and active militaries on the planet. They cannot afford to play politics with their weapons because unlike some of the other non-nations in Europe their weapons are expected to be used. A lot.

>France's equipment is actually superior to standardized NATO handguns (things like Colt and NATO-compatible ammunition) and aircraft (F-35, Eurofighter etc.)
But this doesn't make sense either. If France somehow got it all better than everyone else, wouldn't everyone jump on top of that and stand in line to buy Dassaults while nobody would buy Eurofighters?

So what gives? Why do they do everything differently compared to pretty much all of their allies?

>Is there a reason why France is such a special snowflake military-wise?
It's harder for the enemy to use their own supplies against them.
In fact, their entire military doctrine is based around the enemy finding abandoned French equipment everywhere.
>>
France is a major world power. They have their own space program, the DGSE operate on pretty much the same level as the CIA and FSB, and they deploy their military to protect their interests abroad just like the US and Russia do, unlike the rest of Europe. They are NATO and EU and all that, but at the end of the day they're not looking out for other countries. They use NATO activities as justification to train and deploy troops to protect French interests. While the Krauts pretty much shepherd the rest of the EU around, France is doing their own thing and only has French interests in mind. They're basically the superpower that Britain likes to think it still is. They're pretty much as independent as Russia, China, or the US, except that they kind of hide behind the curtain of NATO and the EU.

>So what gives? Why do they do everything differently compared to pretty much all of their allies?
The Rafale project started when France decided what they wanted in the Eurofighter wasn't what they wanted. Having the capacity to produce their own figher, they did.

As for the Famas, it was designed when France wasn't in NATO anymore. The G2 version was STANAG compatible, but replacing all the FAMAS rifles was deemed to expensive. To add to that, French small arms manufacturers have disappeared, so the best they could do so far is upgrade the FAMAS to "Valorisé" or "Félin" versions, while waiting for the new rifle (HK416, chosen recently).

The ammo problem is related to the original lever-delayed blowback architecture of the FAMAS. You can change the rifle twist to accomodate a different bullet weight, but you can't change the fact that the rifle tears brass casings.

So I play a sword fighting sport called Dagorhir.
We make real armor but fight with foam swords.

Even our lightest chainmail slows down our largest fighters significantly.
Plate even more so.

Not counting general military tactics (Romans vs Gaul situation)
Was armor really so powerful?

I feel from my experience it may be overrated. Is there any historical info about unarmored fighters beating armored?

>>32614229
No, I want to see the armor that is slowing down your guys.

Also, sure you'll feel faster and less burdened with no armor, but I'm guessing you don't practice religiously in it and suspect it's inferior to the real thing.

Also, the Romans got their asses kicked by a numerically inferior bunch of light mounted archers in the Battle of Carrhae.

I'm a dude who's about to graduate high school. My dad was in the RAF (royal air force) and wants me to join the British military. But I live in America and i don't really want to spend a shit ton of money and 5 years of my life to move over and be able to join just regular service there (you have to do marines or paratroopers there). I don't really want to join just regular army either... So what should i join /k/? pic not related

hmmm well...
Delta sneaks into a facility that the SEALs have already rigged with explosives; which are triggered by the SAS dune buggies driving by firing grenades....

What should you join?... Are you serious? how fast can you run a mile? Pushups in a minute? How are your grades in school? How much COD have you played? How high is your pain tolerance? Do you do drugs, including coffee nicotine, marijuana or take prescription drugs? Any underlying medical conditions?

I don't know,what's left in the bong weapons repository other than bicycle rims?

I mean they have cutted the impossible to make their own and all is left are some tanks that are prone to rust, a Famas clone that is not as comfy, Apache can't fire rockets and missiles due FOD causing problems with everything and making horizontal stabs catch fire, Harriers are gone due meme35, Alarm is gone too, they tried into gunpods for the Harrier as they didn't wanted yanks trickery and failed, how many Tonkas are still flying?

I don't know man, join the muhreens or something along those lines at least they still have some working machines and enough fliers to bomb mud huts with expensive as fuck bombs

Or don't join any and go in the woods
