Neat... but why?

>>30078865
To swarm radar defenses. Other companies claim that a tiny UAV has the same signature as an "F-15".

Now imagine what a cluster fuck that is going to be for the person watching that screen.

>>30078888
fairly sure this already exists as MALD, except this can be launched from the ground

I have a question.

I've just read of the Austrian offensive in Italy (1917-18), and Italian counter-attack that rebuked the Austrians.

Austrians invaded with roughly 60 divisions. Italians had some 54-57 divisions.

Roughly 800,000 men per side.

Austrians manage to line up some 6,000 cannons and shoot shells weighing up to 720 Kg.

Now, from this site:
http://www.globalfirepower.com/country-military-strength-detail.asp?country_id=united-states-of-america
I am aware the US have roughly 1,300 pieces of towed artillery.

Maybe wars nowadays are more surgical and less pieces are needed to obtain the same effect. Artillery gunfire is more precise, rate of fire is higher, mobility is enhanced. You can do more with less, and US doctrine is getting surgical by the our (i.e. less pitched battles and more tacticool shit).

Consequently, I understand the Austrians might have fielded more towed artillery than the US in 2016.

But the idea still impresses me.
I mean, consider 6,000 cannons / howitzer. 1918 technology, but still... In Italy the 1918 front line (in the plains) was 120 km at most. In pic related there are roughly 20-30 km between each of the first 4 blue arrows (counting from East to West).

Imagine, I daresay, 6,000 pieces of artillery trying to glass a 40-60 km front line all at the same time.

>>30080709
>Got carried away and forgot the question
Question is: is the 6,000 figure even thinkable?
And I'm asking not just in terms of deployment, but also in terms of economic capability of a country (Austria+Hungary).

What were they thinking when they decided to produce all that shit?

>pack attached directly to PC

>no hydration

garbage.

>>30078418
There quite a few reasons to attach a pack directly. but no hydration. agreed.

>>30078418
Whats wrong with the pack?

>>30078379
I'll slide my bullet into your well greased chamber

Well lubed case maybe, unless you're doing some really specific black powder shit.

You just hose the entire inside of your gun with remoil don't you

How many missions the aircraft and crew are fit to fly, and the logistics involving refueling and rearming the airframe...

>>30078288
Largely the amount of maintenance needed.

It's shocking how much downtime many modern aircraft require, to the point that they literally have to spend most of their time on the ground even under ideal circumstances.

>>30078316
Don't forget maintenance! Aircraft need a lot of that.

As long as the projectile itself is subsonic, it should probably work.

The cleanup would be a bitch though.

thats the smallest hand I've ever seen.

Must be Trump.

>>30078285
Yeah, that can would get dirty in a hurry.

>>30078089
Look into Supertuck holsters. I'm also looking for a holster and I'm probably gonna grab me one of those.

>>30078089
I own one, it's pretty good for appendix carry if you want to carry a G19. I don't use it much anymore since I got a G43 but I stuck with Gcode

>>30078089
Not a bad holster.

Because I know people will recommend them, I would avoid the crossbreed type hybrid holsters, they have chintzy clips that I don't trust. I would recommend something with soft loops or at least a clip that is known for staying put.

>>30078077
Buying 2

How much are you paying for it? If it's over $300, you have other options.

Only a few. Not being a perpetual virgin is at the top of the list

>>30077861
Garbage.

There's some decent information in his videos but his videography is crap and he needs serious lessons on how to be concise.

>>30077870
>he needs serious lessons on how to be concise.
Yeah... I spent a decade and more as a tech pubs/QA/instructional designer guy and listening to him go on and on and fucking ON just makes my feet itch. He should cut the philosophizing into a different segment and put all the meat up front.

:( No... the viz 35 got away from me.

He could have had 500 more than your plus 1 and you would never know it.

They're wood-n-steel fuddporn with a fucking sword on the end.

>>30077416
How are they fuddporn? A fudd would whack it to a double barrel or an over-under

Sweet cock he's right

They're deathtraps (Flight Instructor here)

>>30077079
When I used to live out in the country, I'd see people do this in my town. They're literally fly over my property and down into the river in my front yard. It always seemed like such fun and relatively safe. It's just an obscure hobby.
