This is a general thread for urban warfare.
I think the National Guard should focus primarily on urban combat.
In WW2 we could just throw more welders on the assembly line and crank out more tanks and fighters when we needed them, but modern equipment is too complex for that. All our high end stuff is either going to work or it won't, and that question will be decided in the opening days or weeks of a high end war.
The planet is becoming more and more urbanized, and most of the tactical and strategic objectives (like ports, armories, internet hubs etc) are in urban areas now. It's hugely manpower intensive, so when we need to call on the reserves in the next high end war, it's probably going to be for urban combat.

Unless we flatten it before we attack it.

Congratulations, you just turned cover into broken cover. You're gonna have to go in there and clear them out anyway. You can choose concrete canyons with functional infrastructure and roads, or never ending gigantic piles of rubble and millions of rotting bodies and diseases.

>National Guard focusing on urban combat
I like this idea. I used to work with a guy who was a weekend warrior in the Guard and he said most of his training was standard stuff and he and his buddies he was trained with were basically told that their combat training was pointless except for the rare event of martial law or large-scale riots, and even then the Guard would only be called in if the cops admitted they didn't have the manpower to contain the situation.

You are a space pirate with a hand wavy SCIENCE machine to build your weapons from abundant raw materials you get mining asteroids. You raid star ships and space stations for exotic tech, salvage, and booty.
What kind of weapons would you build? What would you make your ammo out of? Ship to ship, man to man, powered armor to powered armor, man to alien monster, or anything between.

Or the gun that fired miniature black holes and could adjust the flow of time so they never ever missed from the Priests of Mars book. That was quite some bullshit.
>>31091891
I'm only vaguely familiar with 40K, but that basically looks like a giant railgun with some scifi magic warheads?
Orgasmo ray powered by pure animal magnetism, they'd call me the Cum Hunter and celebrate my arrival on each planet with a shower of condoms. The tentacle people of the planet Gropulon would call the festival "The Drowning" because the streets would run white with monster goo. I would make all my money on endorsements painted on my hull and guest fees for "semenars" on friendly pleasure planets.
What, do you guys really want to spend your lives terrorizing the cosmos? The wheel of karma goes around but also up and down, man.

What caliber/rifle did the Cincinnati zoo use to takedown AbsolutelyHarambe?
Taking down a 450 lb adult gorilla with one shot is impressive.
You gotta figure they probably don't keep an arsenal and whatever rifle they decide on has to handle anything from an escaped insect to an elephant.
They've not responded to repeated queries about the caliber even when I said I was going to Africa to hunt gorillas.
http://cincinnatizoo.org/about-us/contact-us/
.22lr
The bullet just rattled around inside the gorilla's skull.
you need CONSTITUTION and STRENGTH. To defeat a SILVERBACK you need another SILVERBACK.

What is this thing? Is it real? It sees thermal through the wall or something
Or it is fictional?
>>31091459
Anyone?
Thermal imaging is real.
No, you do not see thru' walls with it. That's typical Hollywood bullshit myth.
You don't even see through WINDOWS with thermal imaging, since it does not register light, just measures temperatures of surfaces.
I've seen this floating around for a while.
Are there any similar graphics for different sizes?
Also Infographics thread.

Question.
Lasers were developed in the 60's why haven't we been investing since then? Surely if there's enough development in it then you would speed it up by decades.
Also, It's we 40k now.
>This morning one of my men turned to me and pointed a hand, filled with cuts and scratches, at a plant with soft red flowers and said, "That is the first plant I have seen today which didn't have thorns on it." The plant was also representative of Vietnam. It is a country of thorns and cuts, of guns and marauding, of little hope and yet in the midst of it all, a beautiful thought, gesture, and even person can arise among it waving bravely at the death that pours down upon it. Some day this hill will be burned by napalm, and the red flower will crackle up and die among the thorns. Yet that flower will always live in the memory of a tired, wet Marine.
