Would it be viable to construct a modern style double barrel shotgun using ~14th century material science?

Not trying to build myself a gun because I can't get normal ones from the store, wondering more from a hypothetical/screenwriting perspective.

The mechanics are simple enough, black/gunpowder should be a sufficiently analogue for modern propellants, I'm sure if modern primer tech isn't available, some kind of flint or something could be used in place and the shells would simply be metal as there would be no plastics available. More of what I'm wondering about is would barrels made with primitive material science be able to support internal pressure without being super unwieldy large and heavy?

Like if someone with a basic understanding of how a side by side shotgun works; and they time travelled or stargeted to some kind of medieval era, would that knowledge be applicable with the material sciences of the era? (without getting into any major material production revisions [like they could probably fold

>>30358694
Both. Coordinated attack mode or independent firing. Useful if you have multiple Iranian speedboats.

Depends. If you're collecting variations of a uniform that are in the same pattern, sure, but if you have more than 5 fleck shirts and don't constantly wear them /out/ or intend on selling them then you have a problem.

The only reason I had four Alpenflage TAZ 83 shirts was because it was a package deal from Sportsman's.

rest of the /k/onvoy, but one will be provided if you do not own one. Radios will be used for calling a halt if somebody needs to piss, calling out road hazards and
directions, and general chatter between vehicles.
The carpool schedule is as follows:
The /k/onvoy assembles in Lodi, CA, in the parking lot of Denny's earlier than 10:00 AM, and departs at 10:30 AM. Address is 701 E Kettleman Ln
The /k/onvoy makes a scheduled stop at the Burger King in Oroville for refueling and lunch, arriving around noon. Address is 855 Oro Dam Blvd E
And finally, the /k/onvoy will arrive at the site around 2:30 PM, and proceed with all the joy and merriment and such. SEE SLACK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND EXACT LOCATION.
Once the /k/onvoy arrives at the site, we will park, unload, and set up camp equipment for the evening.On Saturday, the shooting range opens in earnest,
and a hike will be organized for anons so inclined. Meals will be cooked and eaten in camp, and we willbe packing up on Sunday evening.
SATURDAY CONVOY FOR WAGEKEKS:
A smaller /k/onvoy is being organized for those who aren't NEETs and work for a living. At exactly 10:00 AM on Saturday there will be a guide in Taylorsville for
you to follow, the address is 4368 Main St, Taylorsville. The guide will leave at exactly 11:00 AM.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE ON EITHER DAY, SAY SO ON SLACK. TRANSPORT TEAM WILL STAND BY FOR YOU.
Also, everything is subject to change, shit happens.

I think they feel bad if you ask them about it and try to change the subject, unless they're old and come from a time where it was okay to gloat about triumphing over your enemies, or they're in a place like this.

Unless they're women. I don't really know how they'd react but I don't think they'd take it as well.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated. (1/2)
In western circles, there is an ongoing debate about the BMP-3’s development and its original intentions. The BMP-3 itself did not differ exceptionally from the BMP-2, or at least, not to the extent one may have expected from a new generation of IFV. Armour protection was similar, with differences being the usage of aluminum components and an extra layer of applique armour added to the front to protect against autocannons - although ERA and modular upgrade packages would be developed for the BMP-3 later in its life cycle. Neither was the BMP-3’s internals radically different; night vision remained more or less identical to the BMP-2; exports to the UAE in 1993 utilised French sights. The salient difference, of course, was the weapons suite, which would have probably offered more firepower than most tanks in the early Cold War. These details led to the question of whether the BMP-3 was intended as a comprehensive replacement to the BMP-2, or an evolutionary specialisation to supplement the BMP-2. The BMP-3’s emphasis on raw firepower over conventional IFV aspects such as armour or features for accommodation of infantry obfuscated the answer further. The addition of the turret with the 2K23 led to a very unorthodox interior arrangement, with the chief result being dismounting became even more difficult, as two sets of rear doors had to be overcome to exit, while two machinegunners sit awkwardly in the hull front on either side of the driver. A large part of this was due to the rear mounted engine, in contrast to the BMP-2/1, a response to imbalances in distribution of weight in the previous vehicles, sacrificing protection for infantry and adding to awkward interior arrangements.

The dual gun system’s absurdly outsize nature was highlighted further in Siberian weapons trials, as repeated firing and recoil led to cracks in the trunnions. Did the engineers disregard traditional dismount considerations while craving firepower? Was it intended as a fire support vehicle and its transportation became incidental during development? Was it simply a case of mismanagement and too many roles taken on at once? One theory that has been put forward is that the Soviets were going for the Bronegruppa tactic, in which BMPs were used for missions without dismounts, in operations usually forming a mobile reserve that can act in lieu of tanks while the displaced infantry emplace themselves in defensive positions. All in all, the BMP-3’s armament is a highly lethal demonstration of versatile firepower on Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Nevertheless, it appears that a substantial amount of concessions had to be made instead. Only modest improvements in mobility and armour, and a possible regression in the practical level of protection offered to riflemen within, characterise the BMP-3. Less relevant now, but certainly relevant at the time of its service, was its cost, the base alone being at least twice that of the BMP-2, and its ammunition being proportionally more expensive as well – these accumulating costs forming a dangerous background to the BMP-3’s service and maintenance in the transition period from the USSR to the Russian Federation.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.

Rheinmetall has unveiled its new Lynx IFV at Eurosatory, apparently aimed at the Australian market. This is occurring at a time where Rheinmetall’s Boxer 8x8 is still undergoing evaluation by the Australian military for its Land 400 procurement programme.
Rheinmetall has also lifted the lid on its new L/51 130 mm tank gun at Eurosatory. After exhibition, it will be taken to a proving ground for fire demonstration. Features include a breech vertical sliding mechanism, increased chamber volume and chrome lining, and a new tungsten sabot is expected to be developed in parallel, with the HE ABM (air-bursting munition).
France and Germany via its respective enterprises Nexter and KMW have engaged in talks for the proposition of a new next generation artillery vehicle. The time frame given is for the project to be launched between 2025 and 2030, and it is hoped this will boost interoperability amongst Franco-German forces.
The French Army’s Scorpion modernisation programme is faltering as military authorities is lobbying the government for an additional 5 billion Euros in funds to adequately finance all its projects. Said projects include a Leclerc modernisation, Griffon multirole carrier, the Jaguar and ongoing maintenance.
GDELS-Santa Barbara has shown off its artillery observation variant of the Pizarro tracked IFV. The Pizarro is equipped with a sophisticated sensor array and rangefinder, which can feed back details to artillery in the field for rapid engagement.
The UK’s Challenger 2 Life Extension Programme is now accepting contenders, with names like BAE, General Dynamics and CMI/Ricardo in the ring. The deal would involve 227 MBTs being upgraded to last until 2035.

And that’s all for now.
