Come join us as we slowly work our way through the Paul Harrell catalog of videos every Friday, one hour at a time.
Last time (>>63157226) we
>peaked at 12 viewers
learned
>police officers are lazy about updating their training until they start dying
>don't use revolvers for serious gunfights
>learn to shoot and reload shotguns one-handed
>if you don't hit your shots, you won't do any damage, no matter what caliber you use
>Joe is a loudmouthed, bigmouthed, cowardly cunt
>don't be afraid to use the slide release
>don't shoot faster than you can aim
>train moving between shots and switching targets
Don't miss out and join us while we talk about the videos, Paul, guns, ammo, swapping sisters at the next /k/ meet-up and more!
as in, if you were to only have 1 round loaded, and used 3 round burst, then fully reloaded again, it wouldn't shoot only 2 times?
i swear this was a feature on a few guns, i just can't remember which had it

The rifle was seen by reporters for the first time at France's National Infantry Days, a land forces trial. Left is the current actual weapon as seen during the event. Right is an artist's conception of a possible prototype. It's apparently hired work - commissioned, that is, not just random internet doodles.
To me the concept art looks suggestive of a good explanation for two things at once:
1) why the French Army has installed this laser on a large all-terrain vehicle, rather than scaling it up for integration on the VBMR Griffon, and
2) why the French Navy has been dicking around with this very smol laser on ships with teeth, like the Air Defense Destroyer Forbin.
Both make much more sense if they're trying to build a laser deck gun. A gun turret somewhat smaller than a Mk38 bushmaster would work both for ships and ground vehicles without having to do any major refits.

As part of the security team, what primary firearm are you carrying? Do you bother carrying a sidearm? All of your kit, gear, mags and ammo are all quality that won’t fail on you, but your firearms need to be something that can handle deep jungle exposure. Weight and durability/reliability are important. What do you pick?
Assume it gets dropped on the opposing side and they deploy it like that.

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.
Some reputable retailers:

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise
EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts
Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights
Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is
LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart
If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game
The numbers to meet or beat are
EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci
Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome
SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci
Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar
Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci

previous thread >>63121402
With a 15" barrel it's launching 45 and 50 cal at pistol velocity 800-840 fps for a fpe of 300-350. Given it is putting out roughly 1911 power is this suitable for reliable home defense / truck gun distance or should I go with the 22" more powerful configuration?
Is 58 caliber at 775 fps with 585 ft lbs significantly more powerful / a better self defense option? watching balistics gel tests it definitely out performs the 45 cal with wound channel size and absolutely destroys cinder blocks and objects.
If that configuration is better for self defense why are pistols all smaller calibers in the 800 to 1200 velocity range vs launching big over 50 cal sized payloads slower?
I will eventually add a suppressor which will add another 6 inches or however long to the barrel length.
Would /k/ prefer a pcc form factor launching 45 or 50 cal at 1911 velocity or a full length pump action shotgun that launches suppressed 58 cal slugs at 775 fps for stopping power and range since it's pump not semi auto?
I'm in an apartment/condo environment so the smaller slugs at lower velocity than 12 gauge monsters launching at double the velocity unsuppressed going through neighborhood walls.
Appreciate any help in making the most tactical and logical purchase for my self defense needs. This is in addition to my double barrel sawed off aea harpoon airgun that I shoot #4 buckshot 12 gauge wads out of with a handgun form factor.

Suppressor showed up at the shop two weeks later. I get a phone call to come in. I go in after work and he just hands me the suppressor and says I'm good to go?
What the fuck? I'm pretty sure the price I paid for the suppressor didn't include a stamp and yeah there was a bit of wait but what the fuck?
Should I go back to my LGS and tell them they fucked up?
Realistically, what would their military be like?
Being an English-speaking ex British colony they'd almost certainly join NATO, but would rely mostly on Canada and the US for protection. They would still probably have a small assortment of armed forces for themselves, in the naval field particularly.

>The company stressed that the concepts shown on the show floor of the annual Surface Navy Association symposium were “entirely different” from the company’s Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System seen on the Ford-class aircraft carriers and the future French Navy PANG. According to Hopper, the concept prioritizes the launching of unmanned systems compared to the fighter and support aircraft launched from carriers. Compared to EMALS, the drone launcher requires a minimal footprint on a vessel. Company graphics claim that the launcher only needs a 4 foot by 2 foot installation area.“It doesn’t have the same redundancy, same requirements you have for manned flight. So it’s a lot simpler system that (can be) put on, possibly some the British carriers or other vessels,” said Hopper.
>Installation proposals on the Royal Navy’s Queen Elizabeth-class and Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force’s Izumo-class carriers were also displayed. In addition, a rendering for a ground-based system in support of expeditionary missions was highlighted. Electromagnetic Systems also confirmed that Aeronautical Systems, a sister company, is examining this concept for the deployment of its Collaborative Combat Aircraft from land-based airfields.

You know who mastered canards? Euros. Euros understood that canards are a great design choice and optimized them even for stealth.
Don't believe me? The RCS of an F-16 is like 1 m2. The RCS of a Eurofighter is 0.5 m2. (If you noticed, the EF canards are not mounted in a straight line like the J-20 or the Rafale. This is done to shield the frame-canard gap)
"Muh but ackchyually canards aren't suck at stealth".... Meanwhile in America (I thank God everyday for being an American), we built jets like the F-15 STOL/MTD, X-29, and the X-36.
You know what Euros did wrong? The original Eurofighter prototypes (MBB X-31 and British Aerospace EAP) had thrust-vectoring. It's quite ironic... we dropped the canards for TVC, and they dropped TVC and kept the canards (the F-15 STOL/MTD demonstrated that having these two technologies gave the best results)
Did the 3D fagots stop repurposing airsoft guns and finally gotten good at making bullets? Because the ability to make good bullets is far more important then manufacturing guns (pro tip learn to weld)

I take that as a compliment, thank you! But now I wonder– are you posting them outside of 4chan?
What does that tell you? Either they don’t work, or Russia is too scared to risk them being exposed as failures.
If the Armata is so advanced, why hasn’t it been deployed? Maybe because they know it’ll end up as scrap metal the moment it faces real opposition.

Moreover, very few are being taken prisoner because they generally tend to fight to the death, even in hopeless situations, or blow themselves up if they are about to be captured. That's pretty hardcore. Jihadis and radical insurgents sometimes do this, but normally conscript armies are not that committed.
This is in some respects the opposite of how the Russians are described.
In the Russian Federation, they have begun to try to understand the experience of the failed use of tanks during the war. The official publication of the Russian Ministry of Defense, “Material and Technical Support,” published the article “ARMORED VEHICLES: ON ANALYSIS OF THEIR USE AT THE INITIAL STAGE.” Pages 19-21. There are a number of questions about what is written in the article, but nevertheless, the material is of some interest. https://files.catbox.moe/un1txe.pdf
