Is this a case of bows being too weak or the opossum being completely hardcore? If the latter, how do we weaponize them?

This is a case of either an edgy faggot or a young kid that doesn't know any better. Those heads are for target shooting. Even a direct heart shot wouldn't necessarily kill instantly. If hunting or controlling pests you need at least basic fucking broad head arrows or bolts

Hey /k/,
I'm off to basic training next week, got any MLG tips and tricks for me?
>>28653302
Be the grey man.
Don't question this advice, just do it.
>>28653302
Do what you're told, keep good company, don't SHARP anybody, do extra PT. Where are you going?
Buy the insoles for the issue boots and wear two pairs of socks on the 16k.
Never volunteer for anything, it means absolutely shit when you finish. Never get noticed by the DSs. Stay firmly in the middle for every test / requirement. Shut the fuck up. Don't ever, ever tell stories about "this time in boot" when you get to the fleet. Don't get a stupid tattoo. Don't buy a stupid car on high interest from the terrible dealerships outside the base. Don't marry a local dependapotamus just to get out of barracks.
And lastly, if you can still get out, GET OUT, you idiot. Joining the army in peacetime is your key to four years of useless fucking boredom and hell.
Any military pilots here?

What's the fastest way to get dry after swimming and stop feeling cold and miserable when you're operating?
>>28652526
Depends, are you in a survival situation or need to keep moving? If you can make shelter and get warm in it that's your best bet. There's videos on winter survival online.
>>28652535
What about when you need to keep moving as fast as possible?
>>28652539
Change into a set of dry clothing you have waterproofed in your bag.
Either that or wear what you've got till it dries out.

I don't really see what is "snake oil" about a side charging AR. There is nothing fraudulent or falsely claimed about what they do. The charging handle has now been moved to the side. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it not a charging handle on the side of the rifle.

/k/, I have some questions about the F-35C.
Namely, is it what the Navy needs? Its specifications look good
>Combat radius of 610 nmi (18E/F 390 nmi, 14D 500 nmi)
>stealth of course
What does it have over other fighters like the Super Bug and F-14? What makes it better than an alternative like the ASF-14 proposed in the early 2000s? With the larger wings, does it have better turning characteristics than the 35A?
What are the disadvantages of the F-35C? Would it have been wiser for the Navy to invest in a dedicated air superiority fighter while letting the Super Bugs handle air interdiction and bombing? Is its logistically sustainable? The F135 engine is larger and therefore more difficult to transport, but for that matter how are engines brought to a carrier? Are they put aboard MSC ships and brought over by helicopter, or flown from land aboard a COD?
I wanna know what y'all think about the F-35's place in naval aviation.
Leave your shilling, shitposting, GAUtism, Pierre Sprey quotes, bingo, etc. at the door, save that shit for the threads that get posted daily.
>>28648084
>>28648084
Yeah, it fits the Navy's needs. The Navy needs to replace the Legacy Hornets badly, and this extends the range quite substantially. I would argue they need even longer range in some specialized aircraft, but the F-35C is plenty good.
I don't know the Super Tomcat very well at all, so I'll refrain from commenting. In an ideal world, however, I'd like an upper end fighter and attacker with the F-35C taking the lower end of both, like what the F/A-18 was for the F-14 and A-6.
It generates more lift, so it might turn better. Then again, it's heavier. Probably turns slightly better, rolls slightly worse.
The real problems with the F-35C are really in that it's more expensive than what it's replacing. Even that isn't a problem, just what always happens. Not really much else. It's also not specialized as either a fighter or attacker, so it loses out somewhat in potential performance in those roles, but it's more than capable of both roles.
No, the Navy doesn't need a dedicated fighter terribly. Replacing the Legacy Hornets with the F-35C more than gives that capability. In the current budget environment, that's the wisest choice.
The F135 is a huge engine, and initially they couldn't fly it in for UNREP. However, they changed the packaging they carried the F135, and it now fits inside C-2s and V-22s just fine. And yes, that'd generally be how they'd be carried. Additional ones, at least. There's a number on the carrier itself, and there might be others on one of the AKEs in the CSG.
>>28648084
>What does it have over other fighters like the Super Bug and F-14?
Uhhhh... stealth? Integrated sensors? Massive internal fuel capacity? Just to name a few.
>With the larger wings, does it have better turning characteristics than the 35A?
In theory, quicker low-speed ITR and STR, but worse roll rate and ultimate G limit.
>What are the disadvantages of the F-35C?
Compared to what?
>Would it have been wiser for the Navy to invest in a dedicated air superiority fighter while letting the Super Bugs handle air interdiction and bombing?
No. A carrier has limited hangar space; having a warplane which can be readily configured for any mission is a fantastic force multiplier. Plus, strike is the most important mission for a carrier aircraft, so the F-35 really has the correct balance of priorities.
>The F135 engine is larger and therefore more difficult to transport
...But you only need half as many of them...
>but for that matter how are engines brought to a carrier?
All of the above, or simply loaded by crane in port.
>I wanna know what y'all think about the F-35's place in naval aviation.
Oh, it'll play a very major role I'm sure. I suspect it replacing the remaining legacy Hornets with it is just the beginning.
How's the F-18 going to launch strikes into china?
