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

>a shock sensitive explosive to set off a bomb
OP that's retarded
anyway here's my idea:
>put TCCA in a PET bottle
>insert a sealed test tube with HCl in the bottle
>add a spring loaded spike or whatever to break the test tube when desired
>when activated, Cl2 will build up in the bottle until it bursts
you now have something that'll cause concussion/hearing damage, throw plastic shrapnel around and also functions as a chemical weapon. hooray!

Hexamannitol nitrate is rather easy to make

Fuel: Take an old beer bottle. Fill it up with gasoline, some paint thinner for good measure and a sprinkle of manganese.
It's less hassle to use a slow burning match or some equivalent, and a soaked rag has greater potential to spread the fire to unwanted places plus makes the bottle less aerodynamic and harder to aim.

Wow, a Lockheed Martin jet was exercise killed by a Lockheed Martin jet, really a blow to American supremacy

Being intentionally obtuse and ignoring the important details does you no favors, /k/oper.
70% of the TA-50 is funded and designed by South Korea, and it still damages Lockheed's reputation that a training aircraft is capable of taking down its best jet. Not to mention the Filipino version is an export model, it's like a BMP-3 destroying an M1A2 Abrams. This isn't the first time the F-22 has failed like this either, with French Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon also outmaneuvering and landing kills.
>muh BVR
the ACEVAL/AIMVAL tests demonstrated that a force of smaller but more numerous aircraft was capable of dealing with heavier, higher-tech fighters. This still applies, as F-15s still lost to MiG-21s in Air to Air simulations at Cope India and even the F-16C has AoA that exceeds the F-22, with the MiG-29 and Su-27 having similar numbers and the the rest of the Su-27 series and the MiG-35 exceeding that.

>>5214
Russian aircraft you talk about couldn't even come in BVR range of F22s in Ukraine lol, how many Mig 29 and Su 27 got blown up trying to go against the hohol ragtag volkssturm again? Now compare that with the losses of F22 and F15s which actually went deep in AA covered Iraq or Syria, but yeah jerk off about exercises sure. At least don't shame yourself and compare US aircraft to an actual peer adversary such as China instead of using a broke state like Russia that can't even maintain properly its soviet legacy gear.

>>5217
I heard the same thing about the Abrams. A vehicle is a vehicle, and if it exists it can and will be destroyed.

>>5217
>Russian aircraft you talk about couldn't even come in BVR range of F22s in Ukraine
<in Ukraine
LMAO nobody mentioned Ukraine glowie. And yes, they would. F-22 stealth is not an invisibility cloak and the Russians have tracked the F-22 and F-35 in Syria for years. The USSR was among the pioneers of stealth and stealth detection.
>how many Mig 29 and Su 27 got blown up trying to go against the hohol ragtag volkssturm
None because Russia has never deployed MiG-29s to Ukraine nor does it use Su-27s there either, it uses the Su-30 and Su-35 models, and I have yet to see proof of either being shot down, and most certainly none of them in air-to-air combat. Ukraine on the other hand has lost several MiG-29s and Su-27s in the air and on the ground.
>compare that with the losses of F22 and F15s which actually went deep in AA covered Iraq or Syria
LOL, LMAO even at the sheer ignorance of this comparison.
1) The F-22 has never been deployed against any sort of real air-defense, and certainly not in Iraq which is controlled by the USA at the moment. They weren't deployed in either Gulf War either.
2) The F-15 has gotten shot down by SAMs and even enemy fighters plenty of times, even back in the 1980s during its debut over Lebanon, the Israeli's and USAF just dismissed or hid the air-to-air losses and blamed them on accidents while omitting the number of SAM losses.
3) The F-15 was also never deployed against a peer-combatant air-defense, always being backed up by heavy SEAD, AWACS and satellite uplinks against enemies with older technology that had none of those things and who were a smaller fighting force. The Ukrainians in 2022 were the largest and honestly the most heavily armed and well-trained military in Europe, yet now their air-defense and air forces are all but gone, the point that they constantly fail to defend any targets and Russian aircraft freely hit troops with guided weapons. You might as well start praising the F-35 for being able to bomb the Houthi's and not get shot down… wow what an achievement!
>but yeah jerk off about exercises sure

There was a laser revolver version of this too. It reminds me of the laser pistol from the original Alien (1979) film.

The laser pistol actually looks cool. The revolver has to be the ugliest looking firearm I've ever seen.

Laser deforestation demonstrated in Russia
>Specialists from the Troitsk Institute of Innovation and Thermonuclear Research tested a mobile laser complex produced by Rosatom. The laser was used to cut down forests and speed up the laying of power lines. Using a laser complex, it was possible to cut a tree trunk 200 mm thick in six minutes; by simulating a laser beam, this time can be halved. The laser installation has no analogues in Russia and is capable of cutting even metal structures whose thickness reaches 260 mm, at a distance of no more than 300 meters. Previously, a sunken ship located 50 meters from the shore was cut with a laser on Sakhalin. There are no technical details released yet; the laser complex can be installed on an all-terrain vehicle of median size or larger.
An interesting use of a laser. Perhaps its not so fantastical in the future to have laser cannons.

Russia did a laser show on Victory Day to demoralize the Ukrainians

Stupid shit from a while back

It'll kill people for sure if that's what you're wondering. Cheap ammo and easy to carry as well.

define "suitable". will a .380 kill a man? yes. is it wise to shoot indoors? no, few guns are. hollowpoints are safer though
find a good range and practice. get some click rounds (not sure what the term is in English but blank rounds you can fire without damaging the firing pin) and practice loading, unloading, safing, unsafing and handling it in general

Birdshot round are good for home defense. Hit an intruder anywhere near the face and you'll ruin their objective without killing them.
Home defense is different than having a body count, try to avoid that if possible.
A blank, a couple round of birdshot and then HP for the final rounds if things get serious. I like my shotgun because I've been able to dissuade one potential intruder with the sound of racking it, glad I haven't had to kill anyone.

The best form of home defence is owning a home that’s not in a place that needs defensive equipment.

China has demonstrated its Aero-Ballistic hypersonic missile. It is obviously a copy of the Russian Kinzhal.

The S-500 reliably intercepted a Sineva SLBM during its testing, which is a very modern ICBM and is not easy to intercept by any means. This is excluding the S-400 system which is very capable as well as the A-235 and A-135 ABM systems.

>>5146
If S-400's are so good, why does Ukraine destroys them?

>>5155
The number of S-400s hit can be counted on 1 hand. I know of 2 possible S-400s knocked out and even then it was the launchers, not the actual S-400 system.
Furthermore, as explained multiple times, SAMs are not magical shields, they have limitations and reaction times that can be exploited under mass barrage, as there exists no SAM system in the world to have a 100% kill rate.

So I was right about the Corvette's damage being superficial. Russian Navy has announced the repairs of the ship

Guys I was about to drop 1.5g on basic armor and plate carrier, combat uniform and war belt.

But then I realized I probably wont buy a firearm just yet since fam is scared of em and cant have em in the house. Is there a point to buying anything gear without the gun/rifle which seems like the primary thing? I was thinking plates might be good to have and I could conceal them in a backpack or something, but the rest I dont really see a practical use for without a weapon?

The Rifle part goes back to the feature of rifles themselves - rifling of the barrel of a long-barreled fire-arm, usually requiring or having a stock.

If one was going to be doing a lot of camping, presumably where mountain lions reside, what, if any handguns would you take? Multiple killed out innawoods/mountains here last few years, caught without any way to defend themselves.
