Just a plain ass bolt action for the absolute annoyance that was the nazi army. It’s fucking sobering to think about too. All that obnoxious propaganda, all those mandatory speeches, all that money wasted on stupid designs and constantly breaking firearms, and this ends up being the greatest thing these morons ever made. The strongest weapon to ever grace the hordes of fascistic scum is the most bland, mediocre, and uninspired rifle imaginable. The list of failures fascists have in their history is truly endless…

LMAO bf109 was soooo great that it was destroyed by outdated Hurricanes over and over during the Battle of Britain. All these nazi fighter aces with 1000 kills only got that number by farming biplanes, when they faced fighters they were shot down like dogs. The average Soviet (and British and American) pilot was both far more skilled and much braver than a nazi dog.

>>5454
>and British and American
nah they got their asses kicked in korea and vietnam

That weapon isn't even nazi and in their autistic Kraut space magic, the nazis have made absolute banger weapons. Rockets, jet engine the type XXI, the first assault rifle, the best machine gun ever…

The tanks were a great example of everything right and wrong for every side.
Krauts went autistic and tailored one million halftrack models and overengineered fuel drinkers, capitalists had more industries than reasonably needed and made tanks like carriers: good but produced not to win the war but because the friend who own the factory said the economic crisis would evaporate if we just give him more money, while Stalin said quantity have a quality on its own, half the T34 broke on their way to the front, half of the remainings were destroyed and the other quarter made a parade in Berlin.

I can only find flights to Beirut right now. They're pretty cheap though. Under a thousand bucks for a 1-way ticket. Feel like I probably landed on a list for googling that.

>>5451
It's cheap because most people are trying to get out.

>>5452
I mean, duh. Of course. I just mean if you're trying to join the Kurds in Syrian Kurdistan the best route is through Beirut right now.

If the Toyota war proved anything, it was that armies have no excuses not to be fully equipping all their soldiers with trucks these days. Trucks are cheap, easy to make, easy to find, easy to modify, and are easy to use. Why are NATO and Russia allergic to using these machines?

Your answer makes way too much sense and is too logical for high ranking military officers to listen to /srs.
>vidrel
tl;dw Dude could snipe and kill a target with a bullet that costs pennies to make, but instead the fatass-general decides to use millions of dollars worth of muntions to smoke them. I'm not a jarhead myself, nor have I ever enlisted, but if this movie clip and what the comments say are accurate, military officers may be too privlleged and confident to employ something like a Toyota truck, on both sides, NATO and Russia. I mean, look at the picture in your OP. It gets the job done, but it's DIY as shit, even a lowly-Marine wouldn't want to be caught dead in a NATO-supplied Toyota truck they could likely drive on their own back home in borgerland. No, they need a billion-dollar humvee with topgear beer coolers and iPhone chargers, and anything less is too ghetto to cut it. Another point, unrelated, could be that they may have tarrifs or something on the vehicles.

I don’t know if it’s the fact that the majority of these helmets don’t fit the users well, if it’s the shape, if it’s just the idk ‘cheapness’ of the design itself. This helmet looks like someone cut out a piece of a much simpler design, and then resold all the bits of the original design back as modular parts. Every time I see this helmet in news footage, I immediately stop feeling any sense of stress due to how goofy looking this helmet is. Why did the guys that made the FAST helmet choose to make such a complex and ugly-looking design? I get that the decision was made to reduce the number of gadgets infantrymen had to carry in their bags, but still, the actual helmet looks like shit.

>>5377
It is a piece of equipment, not a fashion item, I don't think soldiers give a shit as long as it is lighter with the same protection that is to be expected.

I imagine that thing in the front in for attachments, could probably make something neat out of it.
That said, function over form.

Did military manufacturers all collectively forget what the term ‘miniaturization’ meant? Why tf is every infantryman of today looking like a fucking blob? What’s the need to make uniforms so fucking thick of they won’t protect the user from anything? Why do they carry so much shit if most of the electronic devices and equipment can be miniaturized to reduce weight and improve mobility? Similarly, why tf are so many other modern weapons and gadgets used in war getting so fucking unconventionally chunky? Some of these soldiers can’t even keep their slings wrapped around their bodies…

I'm starting to suspect that you've never been an infantryman and are just talking out your ass.

>>5338
Thank Christ I’m not. Even with endurance training I’d likely get hurt first from a back or ankle injury from carrying around so much garbage for days to weeks on end than I would be from a bomb made by some half-illiterate jackass whose lucky enough to never have seen a tank in his life. Manual labour is awful.

Does this post glow like me?

>>5337
They’d probably make more money by selling ammo if the flashlights, binoculars, radios, microphones, and other electronic and mechanical junk was made smaller. The reason why ammunition sales should increase is because the decreased sized would accommodate more space for more rounds. This change might also prevent the weight of the average rifleman today to actually change.

>>5309
The reason the electronics are so big is because they need to operate at higher power for a longer duration, while also being more rugged than standard consumer devices.

Just strapping it on to an already existing product. The only other commercial robot Ive seen uses two wheel legs and a balancing system but it would be too shaky for a gun.

drones are much more effective for the police state than these

I can't wait for the passive aggressive responses blaming the machine
>Ooopsie, it was an automatic response, you must have done something that indicated to the killbot that you were a threat. A team of experts has been assigned to investigate this incident. You may be prompted for additional information <citizen>. In the meantime you can review our killbot policies and terms of service in this page <link explaining how basically nobody is responsible for the robot's actions , under impossible standards of proof>.

Imagine social media algorithm/copyright/smear fuckery but it's bullets instead of bans lol. On the plus side "Dogged" or "Botted" sound more casual than than "Swatted".

>>954
These battle dog bots are not realistic, because the opportunity cost, you can get a Toyota hilux that has a 50cal cannon mounted to it for the same money, or equip 10 guys with but loads of infantry weapons. If you buy 10 battledogs and your opponent buys 5 cars with light canons and equips 50 infantry guys, you're going to loose very badly.

>>970
These look like they are more useful for sniper missions, they might end up replacing human snipers to some capacity, as the Ukraine war is proving that to be an increasingly dangerous job, there is too many thermal devices being used on overhead drones.

Hey comrades, its been 2 years since Ibrahim traore been president

What do you guys think about him?

>>5394
He nationalized his countries resources and industries. Then he went on to reclaim around 10% of his country back even when under sanctions. He’s one of the best leaders west Africa has had in a while.

bro is goated

he needs to be assasinated

I’m sick of seeing the ak family fucking everywhere man. I’d rather just take a modernized Dane gun or another g3 variant over seeing that type of gun spammed in every god damn conflict.

so you dont like AK47?

>>5391
I’m just tired of seeing it and its variants everywhere. Also I just hate the fact that there are still Aks being made out of wood.

Oh ok, thats how life works.
