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

Currently, the idea and concept of military's with officers, NCOs, and chains of command comes from the West. Many nations use localized terms taken from their own history but the origins obviously remain in Europe. Considering how popular anti-Western sentiment has been with many revolutionary governments, have any established nations or revolutionary groups ever tried to completely remove all European elements from their military institutions

hi i am a tunisian who want to enjoy some freedom sticks like you amerikants , i can make some primitive shotguns and 3d printed pistols but my biggest hurdle is getting ammo , it's extremely difficult to get a hunter licence and it's easier for me to find cocaine than bullet in the black market , any idea how to make/smuggle some rounds ?

I posted this before, I got ignored..I suspect slide-play, so im posting again.
It seems that after a long and badly paid career (140K for like 20 years) of being a literal fbi informer, he got sacked and now he's into weirder, nastier s*. Also seems to have IRL (Online, but i mean not made-up) connections to MKY\MKY\Manic murder cult from russia-ukraine.
>im not a gunfag, someone confirm whether the guns I post are real, or airsoft, please

This thread is for discussing sabotage, its theory, its history, tactics and stories.

It's good to know a range of techniques, especially low risk ones which are easier to get others to do, like go-slow, work-to-rule (malicious compliance) and feigned incompetence.

Low-risk activities are great to know because they can be used in a mass movement filled with people who are (understandably) timid and scared. And once there are enough people on board, then there's the safety in numbers that are needed to build confidence for more extreme actions.

The engineers behind the t-34 understood the logistical struggles of maintaining entire battalions of tanks where before they only existed in handfuls. Such an exponential expansion of the deployment of tanks, in tandem with the increasing complexity of tank parts and intricacies of tank design, meant that the modern war effort would require logistical feats never before preformed by any army. Innovations of the t-34 would include everything from sloping armor to increase deflection and grazing rates from enemy shells without substantially increasing production cost to simplifying turret design while not stripping functionality to maintain the maximal performance and accessibility while cutting down on logistical profile. The general design ethos of the USSR was to think smarter so they could fight harder, and longer. One of the innovations was its tank treads - rather than being fully bolted on both sides, only one side was bolted, and a raised metal plate was installed to prevent these bolts from slipping out from their position, decreasing the work needed to replace tank tracks while still maintaining full functionality.

This industrious and pragmatic design philosophy is what drove the war machine of the Red Army, making its constituent components consistent and interchangeable, and to make such work easy to preform. Any man or woman, from Siberian tribespeople to West Russian urbanites, could fight with equal skill and capability under the red banner. Meanwhile every German vehicle or weapon required specially trained crews, specially trained engineers, specially trained gunsmiths, all required to jump through the hoops of different corporate designs and methods to keep their weapons of war functional. Where the Germans had tanks so finnicky that only 50% of spare parts would be accepted in any given German tank, you could disassemble 100 T-34s, mix up the parts, and assemble 100 of them again, and they'd all run equally well. In a war of logistics, this streamlining and accessibility is what allowed for the USSR's tanks to stand against the Germans even with numerical inferiority, because of shorter time out of action for logistical or repair work. As the number of T-34s increased, they started to geometrically outnumber them. then, exponentially outnumber them.

Simplified and streamlined designs with accessibility and consistency will win out against the most "advanced" and "complex" of designs, because war is not waged in a way thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

let's play toy soldiers for a second
realistically who would win in a 1v1 between the good freeworld mercenaries™ aka Blackwater and the bad mercenraries™ aka Wagner? without any support from both their government contractors, just the two mercenaries and their own assets, who is more tough?

The soviet union had this lol. poland is returning to its warsaw pact past

All children should receive firearms training. The basic laws of firearm safety and use at the very least, though IMO marksmanship training is good too - it gives actual hands on use of the weapons and teaches kids to respect them. At my summer camp (church run, 1970's-early 80's) we learned how to shoot, starting with BB guns, going up to 22's and M1-carbines. My grandfather taught me around that time on 38 special revolvers (and some .357 mag), Milsurp 1911's and M1 Garands. We also had a gun club in school (5th graders-8th graders) and high school.

I want to become dastardly cunning counter-manipulator like smart KGB agents in Hollywood moobies i want to have a sleepercell and stop mycover from burning by hiding documents between my nuts. I want to call my old friends damaged goods and have 87 hours to discover the kazakh mule within the network

when are we gonna develop em again?
