>>34653616
I always thought the idea was that the drum feeds into a more traditional tube mag under the handguard. Like there could be some kind of protrusion on the gas piston that shoves a round out of the drum into a tube where the wooden handguard is, and also operates the action (bolt, elevator, hammer, etc). So there'd be rounds in the drum, a round or two in the tube, and a round waiting on the elevator. The rounds in the tube wouldn't be under tension by a follower or anything, but would be shoved back one by one as the gas piston cycled.

It's possible just stupidly over-complex compared to something like the Pancor Jackhammer.

Obligatory

>The SLAM as proposed would carry a payload of many nuclear weapons to be dropped on multiple targets, making the cruise missile into an unmanned bomber. After delivering all its warheads, the missile could then spend weeks flying over populated areas at low altitudes, causing tremendous ground damage with its shock wave. When it finally lost enough power to fly, and crash-landed, the engine would have a good chance of spewing deadly radiation for months to come.

>>34667945
It's not absurd, because it worked fine in theory and in testing.

It's absurd because it was shitcanned for being too likely to single handedly end the world.

Not in the direct fight that's for sure, even the most shittiest fighta-plane is made of nothing but thick metal plates to protect the fungus gorilla inside of it, couple that with primitive jet engine and dozen of machine guns, which are at least comparable to .50 cal and coupled with immense numbers, the only real problem for them is minimal reliability and lack of any skill for the majority of the pilots.

Orks in this setting can literally manipulate reality with the power of unconscious thought. As in, they paint all their vehicles red because they think that it makes them go faster, and it does. This is balanced by the fact that they aren't smart enough to realize how this works and take advantage of it.

Conclusion is that this is as awkward as fuck to use in non-combat situations. The weapon is shaped and sized like a submachine gun, but has to be used with either a sling or held in one hand during patrols. 2/5, looks good but impractical. Not sure where the clip is.

The a 10 can apparently stall if it fired too long.

Also I'm in middle of aeronautics program, and once an instructor told me to get to a slowish speed and he stuck his arm out the window and in the light plane it caused the turn and slip indicator to register the offset plane.

The Orks' airforce is more situational than anything else: it's useful when it's there and there isn't opposition, but they tend to get their shit kicked in by the other factions' real airforces. You can bet an Ork bomba with a nuke on it is gonna cause trouble whether you shoot him down or no, though.

A one man crew is ridiculous. Even with future tech, as a bare minimum you need commander, gunner, driver. One guy focuses on what the tank should be doing (commander), one guy focuses on shooting what he's told to shoot (gunner), one guy focuses on moving the tank
where it's supposed to go (driver). Both the Russians and the French learned this the hard way in WWII when they got eaten alive by grossly inferior German tanks that had proper division of labour amongst the crews. The mini-turret machine gunner doesn't count since he doesn't help drive, command, or fire the main armament. He is excess baggage.

Yeah, it's mainly ground attack - your average ork plane is actually quite like an A-10, despite looking like a 50s MiG - they can take a beating (comparatively, vehicle-wise they're not amazing) and are overloaded with weaponry.

A10 won't stall just by firing the gun. Engine output is ~18,000 lbf, the gun generates ~10,000 lbf, so no, you won't outright stall unless you fly just over stall speed.

Their service record was as follows:

>K1 collided with K4 off the Danish coast on 18 November 1917 and was scuttled to avoid capture.
>Two boats were lost in an incident known as the Battle of May Island on 31 January 1918. The cruiser HMS Fearless collided with the head of a line of submarines, K17, which sank in about 8 minutes, whilst other submarines behind her all turned to avoid her. K4 was struck by K6 which almost cut her in half and was then struck by K7 before she finally sank with all her crew. At the same time K22 (the recommissioned K13) and K14 collided although both survived. In just 75 minutes, two submarines had been sunk, three badly damaged and 105 crew killed.

Um... have you read about what the fuck they were facing down?
It should be argued that the original array was considerably more variable, as it could be tuned down to a planet-wide scale (or used as intergalactic artillery). The newer Array installations might be capable of the same (maybe not the intergalactic artillery part), but without direct statements from 343, that is just conjecture.

That being said, the original purpose of the Array being built - to ensure permanent Forerunner dominance, with any that stepped out of line potentially being taught a lesson about the cost of defiance by a directed pulse from one of the installations - was a bit sketch.

Anon I'm not talking about small little football sized drones,

I'm talking about a plane that can fire 12 all direction seeking missiles at once and can control around 30 MQ-1 sized drones at once.

>dropped on multiple targets

SLAM fired the nukes upwards on rocket. If it just dropped the bombs, it wouldn't be able to get out of blast radius.

>why the fuck would you put a gun there
I'm not sure I understand this line of questioning.

>>34662876
Try the SMG. Exposed clip, weird fucking feeding mechanism, receiver is just a mutilated Ak-74 receiver(why didn't they just use the fucking AK they made it out of I don't know)

>>34692158
>(why didn't they just use the fucking AK they made it out of I don't know)
Likely because it was made from one of the many broken AKs laying around

no, all future sperg guns are gayballz.

The absurd part was that it lacked radiation shielding. The crew were fucked, but once you bus some new guys out the tank will work fine.

UDES XX20. It was 20ton light tank armed with L/44 120mm smoothbore tank gun. Motive components were bizarro combination of Marder and BV-206 parts. Crew and armament were in front car and ammo, fuel and engine in rear.

"During that period of war, the Allies were losing a large number of warships and supply ships to German submarines known as U-boats in the Atlantic. Aircrafts were very efficient at destroying surfaced U-boats. But the Aircrafts did not have adequate range to cover the entire Atlantic. If a Aircraft landing platform could be built in the middle of the ocean, then the U-boats could be put under serious pressure. Moreover, there was a shortage of aluminum and steel. Pyke took the challenge to solve this problem and realized the ice was the answer as ice takes only 1% of energy needed to make an equal amount of steel.

The project’s name was taken from the Bible. Even the project’s goal was a quote from it: “… be utterly amazed, for I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” -Bible (NIV), Habakkuk 1:5

But ice proved unsuitable as natural icebergs have very small surface above water for aircrafts to land, are prone to roll over and splits easily. Pyke then proposed a frozen composite called Pykrete, made of 14% sawdust or wood pulp and 86% water. It melted slower than ice, had the strength and toughness as good as that of concrete. A small prototype of the Habakkuk Bergship was constructed at Patricia Lake in Alberta, Canada. It was 60 feet (18 m) by 30 feet (9m), weighing 1,000 tons and a one-horsepower motor was used to keep it frozen. The final design was required to be 2000 feet (610m) long with a 40 feet (12m) thick hull to withstand any torpedo attack. An extensive cooling system was to be used to prevent the melting of the pykrete. It was supposed to have a displacement of 2.2 million tons carrying 150 aircrafts. In December 1943, in the last meeting of the project, it was officially concluded that Habakkuk II had been found to be impractical due to huge cost in the range of $100 million was involved."
