Actual knowledge thread.

I think the FN P90 is quite possibly the most well rounded and versitile weapon on the market today. Take cost completely out of the equation (yes it and it's ammo are expensive, I get it) explain why this gun isn't so great to me, seriously. I think it's amazing.

The P90 combines all the best attributes of Pistols, SMG's and AR's plus it is the only gun that can give me a 'I'm not really sure why but I'm hard right now' feel. If you consider the trigger placement compared to the end of the barrel (military version, not that long barrel of the civilian version) It's roughly the same compactness of a pistol for handling purposes. It's got a 50 round magazine that ensures you get whatever job you set out to do: done. It's got a fire rate of 900 RPM for situations that might need a good spray (plus 50 rounds to lay down a nice cover). Finally it takes what is essentially an AR caliber round and lessens the velocity to inflict more damage at closer range. AR's are superior at a distance over 200 meters no question, but within that 200m range the P90 is an unstoppable force. AR rounds will slice clean through most opponents and as a result, actually are less likely to kill or stop an advancing enemy. P90 rounds fire at a slower velocity which results in more stopping power and more serious injury caused to opponent. Plus the top loading magazine is really innovative, sexy and it's bullpup design amounts to a more accurate/precise weapon.

The mags, rounds, and gun are expensive as shit, I know, ignore that. Just the gun itself as a PDW (let's say the zombie apocalypse where you scavange this military grade weapon, a dozen magazines, and unlimited ammo) nothing else can really compete with this.

An AK47 will be easier to find ammo/parts for and easier to take care of, sure. But assuming you teach yourself how to take great care of the weapon and have a tool kit to perform maintenance, what could possibly be better and why?

I'm not sure if this belongs in this board but i read some warhammer 40k books and was wondering just how strong the imperial lasrifle is. I did some googling and found some numbers

this is from the lexicanum stats for a common lasrifle

Weight: 2.3 kg
Length: 900 millimetres
Magazine Type: 19 megathule range (rechargable)
Type of Fire: Single shot or fully automatic
Rate of Fire (cyclic): 220 shots per minute
Shot Intensity: low to high

is that megathule supposed to be a joule? Assuming that the battery holds 19 MJ which can supply any where from 20 shots to 100 depending on the energy setting. That means that each shot puts out at least 190KW average on lowest setting and almost a megawatt at highest. i know that that energy doesn't hit all at once and is spread out over the pulse but that is still alot of energy for a weapon which is famously under powered.

Is this right? Any one with any knowledge of how lasers work able to give an idiot explanation of what a laser with that kind of power would be capable of?

Any EMT/Paramedics here? Do you carry or wear body armor? Are you allowed to carry or wear body armor? Have you been attacked?

I'm in college and I like the idea of helping to save peoples' lives, but I would want a more active role and don't want to spend 10 years in school, so I'm thinking about pursuing being a paramedic. I just don't want to get filled with .380 by some thug who mistakes me for a cop.

Also, are you happy with your job? Is the pay in your area enough to support yourself and any family that relies on you?

Guys, getting a glock for christmas, it's for concealed carry.
Now, this is the decision to make:
Glock 30 or glock 36?
Don't tell me to get a 40, I don't want a 40.
Don't tell me to get a 9mm, that shit is weak and wont have a chance of stopping Tyrone.
BTW, almost 6ft, 135lbs, planning on appendix carry.
Will printing be an issue with how thin I am?

TP-82.

The standard issue gun on every Soyuz spacecraft.
Three barrels, can shoot slug, buckshot/pellets, flares and standard ammo (with its rifled barrel).
Its detachable stock is a machete in a cover.

Astronauts' training for Soyuz flight includes target practice with this gun. They praise the accuracy and comfortable use.

...what ammo does it use for the rifled barrel, and what caliber of shotgun ammo?

I don't know where else to ask this but do you think it's worth having a car in the military?


I currently drive an 06 Mustang GT and I'm enlisting in the Navy. I'll be in San Diego for a couple years so it'll cost $1000-$1500 to move my car over there. Is it worth it? Did you guys use your car often in the military?

Another option I'm thinking of is selling my car and buying a motorcycle again once I'm over there.

What does /k/ think of Active Protection Systems?

Most experts agree that China leads in this field, does the USA plan to catch up?
Instead of making domestic APS systems, Russia would be better off buying Chinese wons. Just that they should not copy it.
