/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

these are CJNG-FEM camouflaged sniper, and drone operator with night vision goggles- FEM is actually designed as a bodyguard unit for El Mencho, whom is very paranoid about not getting caught.

These tools have gotten millions of people killed in this century alone. How does that make you feel?

Black bloc is a well-established tactic where participants wear a simple, affordable uniform to make identification difficult for law enforcement. Wearers may extend it with basic safety gear in riot police are likely to be present with "less lethal" weapons. For example, motorcycle helmets, protective goggles, gloves.

One of the disadvantages of black bloc is it can visually alienate the protestors from non-participants. It becomes easier for mass media to frame them as scary outsiders, like professional criminals or terrorists, not regular members of society. Another issue is that basic safety gear is compatible but not implied, so having a uniform including this gear by default could make protestors safer.

I wonder if worker PPE is a viable alternative uniform. Is this an idea which has been tried? Surely I can't be the first to propose this. It's familiar, suggests the wearer has a vital worker role in society, and is capable of providing some level of protection by design. I'm not familiar with the different-but-similar yellow vest protests so I don't know whether there are any media optics vulnerabilities to be aware of or any other issue which came up there.

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.

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

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

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.

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?
