They were useful for propaganda, like the Russian all-women battalion and their famous female snipers, but they served little tactical purpose.
On the logistical front, women made up a large percentage of the wartime industrial workforce, churning out airplanes and materiel for the war effort.

How could anyone possibly think that 4chan is a good place to ask anything about women?

Well, cold war conscripts never really saw combat. Also no, his father was the alcoholic iron worker, who beat him. Mine learned from his mistakes.

New York state Anderson pistol/preban 30 mags?
OK gize. Haven't shot an ar since Iraq in 1990. Now I'm itching to hold one again, so:
Anderson pistol-5.56 (have pistol permit)
SB or Blade wrist brace
Single top rail
Free float, overmolded Hogue round tube handguard
Preban mags
Optic to be determined,(if any)
Anderson no-lube cuz Balad burns pits left me with hella allergies to gun cleaning products. (Try to 10-ring while sneezing! Rash on hands. My WIFE has to clean my .45 after shooting FFS!)
Can I use preban 30 round mags in AR pistola in NY?
How much we talking, all-in?
How to lighten? (Best products?)
Nice place you got here, mind if I stay?!

NY safe act will not be your friend. This scary assault weapon/pistol will need to be registered and assuming it is legal afterwards will be limited to 10 round mags. While I doubt many people follow any of that more than 50 miles out of NYC it would likely be smart to not advertise. Looks like a neat setup though have fun
>>
>>31172279
If it's sold to me by Anderson as a pistol, it just goes on my pistol permit, right?

No further registration needed? >>31172279

>Can barely get guns lock that close with a Luneberg lens
>Even the Rafale pilots admit that with heavily canned setups they only got a couple good alignments out of ~14 engagements
>>
>>31171205
In a real fight they would have to get that close anyway, because SPECTRA stops missiles from long range being able to target the Rafales. But the Raptors stealth only works at long range but SPECTRA works at all ranges. So the Rafales can fire MICA (which is better than AMRAAM anyway because it has a better seekhead) while the Raptors has to use its gun. The Rafales has a 30m cannon too while the Raptors only has a 20mm and the Raptors is a larger target.
>>
>>31171476
The cannon size between 20mm to 30mm for air targets is irrelevant.

Hi /k/
Greetings from /tg/. I come to you in my time of need.
For the purpose of tactical combat wargaming,
How accurate is pic related?
What kind of "effective range" should I be considering?
At what ranges should there be numerical diminishing returns?
Not trying to start a 5.56 vs 7.62 war, just looking for a little advice or links to useful info

Also asking the same for pistol cartridges.
I know 50 m is generally the farthest you'll ever want to shoot a pistol
>>
Just give 5.56 better accuracy and slightly more range, but make 7.62x39 do more damage and have better penetration to even it out. That's probably the best way to balance them for a board game.
>>
It has more to do with what you shoot it out of desu, and the person holding the rifle. Barrel length dictates velocity heavily
