I had a neat idea, /k/.

What if (IF, please don't shit all over me immediately) a company based in Hawaii or California came out, managed to buy a decommissioned WW2 era ship and used it to give cruises of the pacific, focusing on sites of naval battles and stops along the island hopping campaign?

Would you want to go?

I've heard through YouTube vids that crap ammo is inherently inaccurate and buying quality ammo is essential for accuracy. Keep in mind I heard this from Sootch00 who seemed to be shilling for HPR ammo which is unreasonably pricey for what it seems to be. What do you think /K/?

>is blaming accuracy on ammo a copout? Or is there some merit to it?
121 posts and 10 images submitted.

Out of trigger pull, barrel quality, and ammo, ammo is the single most important quality for a precise weapon.

Idk is HPR is anything special but buying better quality match ammo is essential to extracting the maximum amount of precision from your gun.
>>
>>28475335
For self defense and competion I can understand, but for general plinking, cheap reloads seem the way to go no?
>>
There is some merit to it. "Quality" of ammo is generally referring to consistency of ammo. i.e. powder charge is exactly the same for each round, projectiles are very close in size, etc. Having consistent ammunition is key to shooting consistent groups (shooter is still the main factor, but ammo matters too). Cheap ammunition sacrifices some of this consistency, that's how they can make it for cheaper price.

We all know about the fedora sword meme, people who like to say Japanese swords are the very best, and how that's not true.

But the opposite also happens, people who then say Katanas are shit swords and don't measure up.

So /k/, whats the truth?
69 posts and 14 images submitted.
>>
Yes, no, and maybe
>>
Historically accurate katanas are not made from a homogenous piece of quality steel.

They have a soft steel or iron core, or backing, and a high quality steel used for the tip and edge.

This means if you bend it, it might not spring back.

It's a sword. It does sword things.

For a 12 year COIN operation, sure. Thats kinda moot though, because they were created to fight a "hot" cold war. Its like spending the better part of 50 years building a stock car in your garage and then getting upset that it under performs when you enter it in the WRC.

ATTN: Oppenheimer, or any other anon knowledgeable about this subject.

I was watching this video: https://youtu.be/zVhQOhxb1Mc

This guy repeatedly hints at the existence of implosion-type weapons that do not require complex explosive lenses, but says that the information is classified before going any further. He also makes reference to a design that could be potentially used by terrorists that could be brought into a nuclear material facility, loaded with material in-situ, and detonated while still in the building.

I know that this stuff is probably either classified or beyond the realm of the spookiest spook nonsense, but I was just curious if anyone has any idea what he's talking about here.

Or if anyone has any further reading/listening about weapon designs in general, that would be cool too.

Full disclosure: I am just a nerd who likes nukes and listens to youtube, I am not attempting to build a nuclear weapon.

My personal suspicion is that the thin-shell and slapper plate combination negates the need for lenses. We know haw large a modern nuclear weapon core is with its stainless shell and we know the outside diameter of the weapon. Once you include the airgap there just isn't enough space for proper lenses. Maybe it has a very small amount of lensing but not enough for a true sperical implosion wave.

This matches the only known leaked diagram of a nuclear weapon (pic related, diagram of W80 150kt warhead or possibly a W84).

His claiming of breaking into a building and building a bomb before detonating it is retarded.

>the thin-shell and slapper plate combination negates the need for lenses

Could you elaborate on these terms:

>thin-shell
>slapper plate

My understanding of this subject is pretty crappy so I don't know all the terms yet.
