Let's talk about women in the military, specifically, in combat MOS'.
Jesus fucking christ. They are not my equal, that are not my male counterparts equal. If I send one female to do something I most likely have to send a male. There are different reasons why, mostly strength requirements. If you can't keep up then get out.
Redleg reporting, my MOS is 75% physical.
Fuck.

What does Russia get out of assisting Syria? I mean, stabilizing the Assad regime is objectively a good thing, but why is Putin committing to this?

Ally on the Med, airbases in the ME. Same reason US backs [insert choice of obvious US puppet regimes here]
>>
You see, back when Russia was the USSR, they could afford to have the Arab world as allies, while the US had the Israelis as allies.
Now Russia is poor as fuck, so all they get is the Shiites, while the US gets both kikes and Sunnis.
All they have in the region is Syria and Iran.
Until they come to terms with the fact that they're an Italy tier power, they will continue to fight quite viciously for the last vestiges of their empire.

They get an ally in the region
It's going to make the war longer and make NATO spend more in the region

Long stretches of mind-numbing boredom broken up by moments of sheer terror.
Hello /k/, not sure if this counts as a "help thread" or the status of them but I was wondering if I could get some help on a question I have regarding Ammunition.
So I'm part of a writing group that focuses on ground up world building. Right now I'm virtually obsessed with trying to perfect my WWI/Interwar/WWII military equipment. Now I've got most of it down except for ammunition for my service rifles.
Currently I'm torn between picking the 6.5x55mm round (based of the 6.5x55 Swedish) or a 6.5x63mm round (based off the .25-06 Remington round) I've read into both rounds although my knowledge passed so basic knowledge of ballistics and Wikipedia/YouTube research is limited. My basic idea for my militaries marksmanship doctrine would be for it to focuse on accuracy and have preference for a relatively flat shooting and high velocity round, which both can fullfil. So I'm asking for the collective knowledge of /k/ to help me out in answering this question I have, which round would work better in a early 20th century military?

During the first half of the 20th century most countries where looking toward at least a .30 cal bullet.
Look at the countries that saw combat in WW1 that used 6.5 diameter rounds. Almost every single one converted or attempted to convert to a .30 cal round. Two examples are Italy tries to change to 7.35 Carcano (.300 diameter bullet) and Japan converted to 7.7 Jap (.312 diameter bullet).
>>
>>31546859
Since you're writing the world, either, but 6.5x55 would be much better for a military caliber as .25-06 can only handle 115gr or so bullets which would be outperformed at range. There is the still wildcat 6.5-06 that reworks the cartridge slightly to handle 140gr bullets at which point, they're pretty much identical.
>>
>>31546972
Would making the bullet tail heavy help alleviate this? Similar to how the .303 British MkVII by adding a lighter metal to the nose and thus shifting the center of gravity so that when it hit soft tissue it would tumble violently. Would this grand the smaller 6.5mm round comprable degree of stoping power when compared to its .30 caliber brethren?

Does /k/ have any opinions or reviews of the Neos? As someone who's getting more and more into the cyberpunkish aesthetics and who doesn't have a .22 handgun yet, I'm tempted - but how do they perform in the field?

They're fine. Just as good as any other reputable .22 pistol. And I think they look good.
>but how do they perform in the field?
That's not something you should be asking about any sort of .22 pistol. They're purely plinkers. Range toys or competition shooting guns at best. Not meant to be roughed up and dirty.
>>
>>31546441
id agree with everything he said.
three things off the top of my head: i dont like the saftey placement/lever. it digs into my hand. the grip is a bit small. i know you can get replacements, but its not worth it to me. lastly, i wish the carbine conversions were more affordable and prevalent. they can still be found but at $200+, i might as well just buy another 22 rifle.
>>
>>31546330
The only one I shot was as a rental at a gun shop. It must have been shot to hell because the trigger had a huge creep to it, I felt like I had to pull it all the way back then wait while holding it down for it to fire.

My house was almost broken into today and I've decided that enough was enough. I want to know what /k/s opinion of the best home defense weapons is, I was thinking of getting a 9mm AR carbine since over penetration is a thing I'm worried about but I would like /k/s opinion on this.

Just get a regular 5.56 one. It's not going to over penetrate and it's just as fun/cheap as 9mm.

Get an AR in 5.56. No need to worry about overpenetration. A 9mm will penetrate further than 55 gr. ball.

Yes, easily

Considering Argentina's navy is in such a bad state that ships have sunk at port and others have been repossessed when they pull into a foreign dock to cover debts... I think the answer is yes.

Could probably take them back with a couple 30ft cutters and a bass boat.

Because the concept of a cover defeating weapon is very intriguing. The OICW had a lot of flaws....but that's why it never left the testing phase.
You understanding testing right? You build some shit, then test and make improvements. The prototypes often aren't great, that's why they are prototypes.
The OICW laid the groundwork for the XM25, which was by all accounts a great weapon (so long as you don't go full retard and start ripping safety components off the grenades).
