How are rail guns supposed to function as effective fire support, exactly?
They're a big gun for you, sure.
Thing is, they fire solid shot really fast, which is good for penetrating stuff (e.g. the ground) but not really great for air bursting or hitting mobile targets or generating any sort of significant over-pressure or shrapnel.
Are naval railguns destined to be #12731 on the list of useless MIC welfare projects or do they expect to find some way of attaching payloads and terminal guidance to rail gun rounds in the future?

Haven't you ever played Space Invaders? You don't shoot where they are, you shoot where they're going to be

Gee, if only they came in a cargo-delivery form that airbursted pellets against infantry or missiles.
Oh wait, they do and the test pics are already online in the Navy ppt-pdfs. Stay gay, OP.

Yes.
The idea for air-burst/area attack is that a solid slug can be replace with a flechette canister. Think of an airfield or formation being showered with thousands of hypersonic darts. Not a good day for anyone on that end.
Something that people seem to not be able to understand (To the point of madness) is that like all other electronic devices, the amount of energy used in its process (magnetic acceleration) can be changed. This allows for the use of many types of different ammunition independent of any G-force restrictions.

Well at least Ian got to document a few examples. They'll be allowed to keep some of the pistols as long as their insides are cut up and welded up into paperweights but all machine guns will be banned even for museums.

David Cameron is spearheading the ban on all semi-auto weapons:

I'm quite sure the UK will go ahead and adopt whatever is in there, even after plenty of other countries reject it all.

Would you use .22LR for arming members of a militia?
Why and why not? (ex: cost, ammo, weight, etc)
Curious what others have to say on the topic.
Pic is of my marlin 795 .22LR, daily carry.

Probably not because it's woefully underpowered for stopping anything bigger than a cat.

The Jews use it in limited roles to deter demonstrations and stuff.
But as a primary rifle for use? Shit bro.

How the FUCK did anyone convince soldiers to physically engage and fight each other brutally when this was a major style of warfare? Even something like WW1 seems impersonal and easy compared to two masses of men engaging face to face and hacking away at each other with steel. Furthermore, especially how the FUCK did anyone convince anyone who wasn't outright suicidal to assault the walls first in a siege? I imagine the first man up a ladder or out of a tower or through the breach would have almost no chance to live, but someone had to, and did. Madness.

hello /k/
Hypothetically, I would like to be invisible from FLIR. If i completely lined clothing with a fire blanket would that work? How would I hypothetically hide my heat signature from FLIR cameras mounted on helicopters?

You're not. Those things are accurate as fuck and can pick out extremely well trained snipers in the right conditions.

Even a tiny leak would show up. You want have to completely encapsulate yourself in thermal shielding and even then it wont work forever as eventually the shielding will heat up too.

How good is this rifle?
I read about the definition of the scout rifle, and I want this rifle because:
>Good for range fun
>Good for hunting
>Good for SHTF
>Good for home defense
I mean, it really is supposed to be the rifle that you should have if you could only have one.
Or is it not like this /k/?

Question /k/:
I'm in the military and I had a drinking incident. My command made me go to an intensive out patient treatment thing. I haven't drank in a year because it's not worth the trouble.
Will that show up on a background check when I go to buy a gun or a permit for buying a gun?

I'm not actually an alcoholic, and I don't drink anymore, but procedure for my Shitty command was to say that I was and send me to a alcohol treatment thing. Will that hinder me on a background check?

Would weaponising asteroids be a possible and effective weapon?
Lets say America strapped some boosters on one then set a course for Moscow. Total deniability and get to look like world heroes by heroically taking the lead to rebuild the country (to your liking)

I'm sure you could calculate the size and velocity of the asteroid required for the mission
>>
Dear christ.
So your plan is to have a vehicle carry boosters into what, the Kuiper belt? Find a suitable asteroid, plot a transfer into LEO over the course of a year, all undetected mind you, then from LEO, precisely calculate the exact change in heading and velocity necessary to bring the asteroid down on top of Moscow and not say undershoot by a few hundred meters per second and end up obliterating Berlin, or falling harmlessly into the countryside instead?
Why not just drop a fucking ICBM on Moscow and call it a day?

Anyone here have experience with special forces, delta or "elite" law enforcement? If so, what had they been?
I ask because after watching movies like Sicario or the new "benganzhi movie" which will be released soon. There seems to be a mythical hype regarding SF, delta, etc.....as if they are some kind of "ninjas".
In my expereince, O-4, 12 years in, most SF/delta/rangers/FBI have been loud mouth blowhards that are all show and no go. They make excuses for "everything..." and their elitism is off-putting.
In the military they have what I would consider "groupies", other grown men who idolize them. Usually NG troops providing a "security detail" for them which "somehow makes them SF too!".
Just curious if any other mil bros have noticed this or is it just me.
