Navy discussion thread.
Last thread featured ship : HTMS Chakri Naruebet
The Mistral class is a series of amphibious assault ships/helicopter carriers, in the French navy. One Mistral-class ship is capable of transporting and deploying 16 NH90 or Tiger helicopters, four landing barges, up to 70 vehicles including 13 AMX Leclerc tanks, or a 40-strong Leclerc tank battalion, and 450 soldiers.The Mistral class is powered by diesel generators, and the ship is entirely electrically powered.
Russia was set to purchase 2 Mistral class ships, but due to it's alleged actions in Ukraine, the purchase was cancelled, and the ships were sold to Egypt instead.
Length

Is there a sexier AAS ?
The Mistral is the most tonnage you could get for $600 million. The Dokdo costs the same and is smaller.
Have the Russians started building their copies yet? I remember reading somewhere after the deal was canned that they'll just make their own, but better! (Of course)

What is the consensus here on the 1911? I am looking to purchase my first gun, so I tried several at the range (Glock, M&P, USP, P226, some others) and the 1911 45cal was far and away my favorite, in terms of comfort in the hand & how accurately I as able to shoot it as well as aesthetically.
Also, it seems like there's an infinite amount of manufacturers that produce this thing. I tried a Colt and a Rock Island at the range. Both seemed fine. I was also looking at Springfield, Kimber, Smith & Wesson, etc. Any advice on how to narrow down my options or a good place to read reviews is appreciated because I am a total novice. (Note: I don't mind spending a little extra for something good quality / easier on the eyes that can be easily upgraded at a later time.)
I apologize in advance if this thread gets made all the time. First time poster & I didn't see anything about this gun in the sticky or catalog.
>>30919873
I like em.
I prefer Thompson/Auto Ordnance.
>>30919873
I was in the same predicament as you when I was looking for my first handgun, and I to found the 1911 to be the best feeling and shooting out of all the guns I tried. I shot the Springfield Armory Range Officer and loved it. I also own a baby 1911 in the form of a SA Range Office compact in 9mm and have no complaints.
Have you tried 10mm, if you like it i would recommend the Delta Elite. But if not, I would recommend colt, they are a good company who make good firearms and plus they have a good custom shop.
Redbull me on different FAL makes/manufacturers and their positives/negatives.
I'm planning on getting one in October and mainly want to know what to avoid, and which ones are acceptable.
you'll have to mess with the gas regulator if you constantly change ammo. early CAI guns had issues with feed, something to do about mis-machined receivers, they've fixed that since then, but you know, "century". I've heard mixed things about DSA in the last couple years, but I think they're getting better(?). A cast receiver will last longer than you will. unless you expect to shoot 20k rounds a year, in which other shit will most likely fail before the receiver.(DSA Voyager series).
>>30919701
Yeah I too would like to know how to into fal. Been eyeing one for awhile. Just as long as its not century.
>>30919832
To be fair 'messing with the regulator' is only rotating the little wheel till it works, which isn't a huge deal
there was almost a domestic incident just outside my apartment. Guy aggressively followed this woman out onto the street and they got into a shouting match about STDs
>girl: "you cheated on me and gave me chlamydia!"
>guy: "OH JUST GROW UP"
and it got to the guy threatening to break the girl's nose before I yelled out my window that I was gonna call the cops
anyway, my question is
during a violent episode that you're not involved in, at what point do you get to shoot people?
>>30919327
She probably deserved it OP don't meddle in people's affairs
>>30919327
This is kind of a hard question to answer considering that there is a number of different variables for each situation
>>30919327
When they start trying to kill you
what was the purpose of those buildings ? (i think something anti submarine related) and how effective were they?

I've never seen a thread about Geiger counters, anyone who knows a lot about them would be greatly appreciated.
So in a SHTF scenario what should be the best Geiger counter to have?
I assume something along the lines of
>durable and long lasting
>common battery selection
>consistently accurate
welderbro here, my shop generates thousands of pounds of scrap metal and I haul it to the local scrap yard, theres someone working there who walks around the trailer loads with a Geiger counter.
Makes me feel like I'm in DayZ or some shit! Anyone know whats commonly scrapped thats radioactive? At least in the US?
What you have pictured there isn't a geiger counter, if you're looking for an old Civil Defense geiger counter what you want is a CDV-700.
However they're huge and heavy and not very sensitive. For serious use you'd probably want something like a Gamma Scout:

Industrial radiographer here, Geiger counters and ion chambers would be pretty shit in a "SHTF" thing tbqf senpai. For one they are pretty delecate, and can become damaged if overionized, two they require calibration which you pretty much need a facility to do. You would be better off getting a Personal Dosimeter.
