Hello, I am mister CIA Glowmongerer, how traceable (easy to find) are drone kaboom attacks? Are they 100% anonymous kabooms if you handle the drone with gloves to not leave fingerprints? If you buy a generic drone w camera remote antenna thing and somehow manage to put kabooms with remote trigger on it, how could they possible figure out it was you if you're not in America and CIA aren't satellite tracking your microwave brainwaves?
Like if you live in turd world shithole where police are not CIA level skillz and get drone and kabooms from flea market?

The government can track the signals of an antenna drone. If you were to do this in your minecraft server you'd want a fiber optic drone like seen in Ukraine. Though if they find the drone itself they can track the manufacturer and buyer. Your absolute best bet is 3d printing as many components as possible and buying the wiring and hardware with cash.

Sticks replaced fists, spears replaced sticks, swords replaced spears, and guns replaced swords.
Modern drones have the potential to replace guns as the primary weapon employed in wars, but these weapons suffer from many issues. The most obvious of these issues is the time these things can remain airborne. Modern wars feature battles that remain continuous for weeks to months on end, but most military drones only can remain airborne for a few minutes. Stacking this issue on top of the vulnerability these weapons have to winds, storms, and explosives, and these weapons can quickly become entirely useless for long-term use.
Another major problem is range and size. Modern gun drones don’t have a lot of range if they’re not built big. However, that requirement of these weapons just leaves them increasingly exposed to getting shot down. It’s not just firepower either that makes these weapons vulnerable. Any positive changes in the flight duration, maximum altitude, speed, and the capabilities of any individual drone will see a subsequent increase in a drone’s size.
With enough investment, these weapons should be able to overcome most of these problems and be the thing that replaces the gun. However, these weapons currently are only useful for niche purposes in wars than a true successor to humanity’s primary weapon of choice.

For ISR probably satellites, drone swarms and space planes, the reaper has proven outdated with how easily it can be targeted and destroyed.

drones will I think be incredibly important for rebellious partisan activity within a civil warring state. Anti-regime forces can deal quick blows to critical infrastructure, especially substations, with drones, and then allow conventional fighting forces to come in and clean up. Yes artillery can do the same thing, but drones are less expensive and can do it more precisely. also I've been thinking about how kids in rural areas will sometimes throw rocks with copper wire attached over power lines to create a blowout. Imagine drones spaced out holding a really long copper wire and then just releasing it across the the buses of an entire substation.

China is building flying drone motherships. Pandora box is open.

>>5460
This. Nothing beats a drone with shrapnel explosives.

probably long enough because you're more likely to get unmanned infantry robots first

flying drones would probably just replace urban aircraft and for some reason while this sounds like useful for ambushes or low priority perimeters…

it ultimately sounds too fucking stupid when you consider carpet bombing an entire town is still more effective.

the only thing stopping anyone from doing this is not having enough support from the NATO or EU allies to be able to get away with flattening away like Shitsrael does

it's useful for smaller operations that are mostly clandestine or if you want to pretend your army is somewhat "hip" and "keeping up with the times"

otherwise it's not replacing actual infantry anytime soon

/k/ has their own patch and shit, i was thinking we should have one too, somewhat like these

Okay

1. that shit is not embroidered
2. paraphernalia disconnected from membership to actual organizations is antithetical to socialism

I think the reason why the patch game is so bad on the left is that no one wants to sell shit except for anarchists and succdems. You go on etsy and its all hammer and sickles, the A, pride flags and cringe fight the power shit.
And all of them are shit quality, except for the pride flags. Most of those are merrowed and nice quality which is cool, but thats it.

Are sikh warriors\generals really the GOAT historical warriors that everyones forgets? or is that sikh propaganda itself? I think it's extremely pathetic they fought FOR -not against- the br*tish protestant soap-peddling, anti-Satti, anti-Aghori, anti-Sadhu nudity, anti-Sacrifice invaders. I KNOW they're not Vedic, but still extremely pathetic to side with (((westerners)))
Anyways; are stories or narratives of great battles, conquests, raids, small troop vs huge army fights, etc, about sikh warriors historically real? or is it religious basedslop?
>Gatka shows are pretty fun

>Are sikh warriors\generals really the GOAT historical warriors that everyones forgets?
Warrior-worship is reactionary-crap. All of the great "warrior" cultures are gone, defunct, dead. The Nepalese Gurkhas hire themselves out as foreign mercenaries because there's nothing else to fucking do in Nepal. The Sikhs are just another ethnicity these days with their own history and should be treated as such.

>>5616
Sikhs are progressive relative to vedism due to their anti-casteism

warrior culture is lame although the beard and turban combo looks sick as fuck. was on the train the other day thinking about how cool this guy looked in it and how he should be in royal dress in a court somewhere instead of wearing business causal at 8 am

I thought these Indian turban helmets were interesting.
supposedly they were indigenously developed and were found to be better at stopping larger rounds than regular helmets, and lighter, which made them ideal for counter-insurgency operations in Kashmir, and naga land

funny hypothetical: what if very blunt, hooked pikes were used to fight riot police using modified push of pike tactics? the hook for grabbing shields and blunt protrusion for pushing them back; rioters press together tightly with rear echelons supporting and pushing forward the most physically able pikemen at the front. batons and shields outranged, streets perfect for a line of pikes, cops can't do regular psychological intimidation because even if the front of the formation wanted to flee they couldn't. gambeson if layered heavily could probably withstand limited amounts of birdshot and rubber bullets. severe weaknesses would be flash bangs, gas, water hoses targeting the rear and of course cops learning to using pikes.

i think they would shoot you

For the sake of stability, using feet the shape of an elephant’s would make keeping a real mech much easier than having to deal with all the inadequacies of human feet. Granted, such a design would make these machines incapable of traversing rugged terrain, but like, why the hell would you put a mech on a mountain anyways?

most non animu mech designs already do this

Mine would have chicken feet

How useful are handguns for war, revolution, personal protection, or in general? Why do soldiers in militaries even have handguns if they already have rifles which are better?

Shit tho you can drop them you can stomp them. The neck is a weak point. One good t torque and it's over forever.

Not to mention crushing your larynx or you carotid arteries.

Handguns have such an obvious use I have no idea what is the question.

Or you could just put one bullet through their cortex, even if they "survive" what does that mean?

Anyways I have not ever even owned a firearm despite I could own one easily. But I would only take the shit off safety when it is pointed away from myself.

>>5739
>>5740
I mean, look at that word. Safety. It's a beautiful word. You're safe. Safe from not getting holes punched through your flesh. Keep that feature on until you are pointing it at the flesh you want to blow holes in.

I have owned some airsoft tho. and it's pretty easy to not shoot yourself. Same safety features. No need to shoot yourself.

Daily reminder to not buy Sig, their current batches are overpriced and prone to failures.
Obligatory youtube slop

>>5727
This.
What's funny is that most armed crimes often use blunt force objects.

Which one is cooler?
Which one is more practical?
Which one is more reliable?
Which one do you like more?
The ak is iconic, especially to leftist movements.
Feel free to talk about akms as well

the akm because the steel stamped receiver can be made with home tools. the only parts you have to buy are the barrel, the piston, and the spring (and maybe the iron sights)
actually, there has to be some ak variant where you can 3d print everything besides those key parts. why would you 3d print a gas operated gun? because recoil and blowback operation tend to fail when the user can't properly handle the recoil, and I want a twinks-only army

>>5614
The 74 is better. It has the same limitations you describe, but the ammo is being currently manufactured and is pretty plentiful. imho depends on if you're planning to shoot at armored targets. In this case, AKM. otherwise, 74

>>5612
74u's are so sexy but whenever i think about them i imagine an 80s mujahedeen going to southside la and being amazed at all the thugs with mini-dracos

Firearms are tools, they're best applied for certain circumstances.
AKM pattern rifles shoot 7.62x39, which is a heavier, slower moving bullet, better for damaging soft tissue and suppressing.
74's are higher velocity, less drop at distance, smaller bullet though.
I'd equip up anyone getting up closer and personal with AKMs and anyone farther back with 74's.

AKM was a pretty revolutionary design, the StG 44 but designed for cheap and rapid mass production.
The AK-74 was just the Russians realizing the US was right about recoil control and moving to a 5.56 clone.
>cooler?
Personal taste, I love krinks.
>more practical?
AK-74, the recoil control matters.
>more reliable?
No idea, it would probably come down to factory and year.

>A shotgun (also known as a scattergun, or historically as a fowling piece) is a long-barreled firearm designed to shoot a straight-walled cartridge known as a shotshell, which usually discharges numerous small pellet-like spherical sub-projectiles called shot, or sometimes a single solid projectile called a slug. Shotguns are most commonly smoothbore firearms, meaning that their gun barrels have no rifling on the inner wall, but rifled barrels for shooting slugs (slug barrels) are also available.

The shotgun is thought of as being an extremely basic firearm but it is also very versatile and powerful. It can shoot loads that allow you to hunt small game, large game, from birdshot to buckshot, to even rifled slugs that basically turn your shotgun into a rifle, also works good for home defense and even military applications (think WW1 trench guns).

People have a misleading sense of how much spread shotguns have especially in video games where they magically become ineffective after 10 feet meanwhile in real life hunters regularly kill animals with buckshot at far greater distances.

They only use them in the military and police for blowing off locks and hinges off, on doors.

>>5662
Not true at all. They are used for clearing tight buildings during warrant raids etc.

just throw a slug in there

>>5662
In combat situations, they are used for clearing out trenches and rooms with buckshot.
It was also used for anti-drone and close-quarter battle situations.
But, yeah, they are not very useful in combat; they are only useful in specific situations.

this picture of peter makes me laugh.
