Slavvy posted:The move to bolt action had a lot of reasons to it, people often overestimate the 'tactical' value of certain features compared to their other qualities. Bolt action is super simple and cheap to build, extremely rugged and simple to maintain, lets you integrate a magazine lockout (this was deemed valuable for weird institutional reasons), the lebel was bolt action, it made a deep impression on debut and there's a certain tendency to copy what works instead of wasting time and money on experimenting with different ways to do the same thing. The bigger the scale of production, the less the tactical aspects matter compared to the industrial. Also most troops just suck rear end at shooting and don't benefit from super rapid fire or whatever. Back when the changes were made to go to bolt action, was there even one lever action rifle which wasn't poo poo to reload? Every lever action I have ever seen seem to be based on an awkward tube feed which is cumbersome to refill, especially if you were to compare to stripper clips.

The best bit about those pics is that it means GHQ will definitely be making a 1:285 scale T-62M covered in reactive armour blocks at some point in the future

Organ Fiend posted:lmao that they added the little swastikas to the stahlhelms, just to make sure there was no ambiguity, as if it wasn't completely obvious that this was Nazi poo poo without them. Me, spinning on the spot fast enough to take off: Well actually they were all hired actors and these are behind the scenes stills for a historical movie still in production. If evil bad Russia never invaded innocent peaceful Ukraine you'd have seen its release at the cannes film festival. The films name? Uh (starts sweating intently)

Also, Muscovy is just such a akward comback even if they are trying to pick up from "Moskal" but it sounds like they are in a LARPer spat. As far as the pictute goes, it is so low resolution, who the hell knows what that is put it seems like if it was soldiers there would be more signs of equipment. Also, most Russian soldiers don't wear yellow uniforms, that is more of a Ukrainian thing. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 09:08 on Mar 12, 2023 |

Just photo your own failed attacks and post them relabelled as a failed enemy attack. "Please send more cargo plane pallets of cash if you want to see more of this." What are they going to do? Go out and check? The paypigs will cough up just the same.

Every lever action I have ever seen seem to be based on an awkward tube feed which is cumbersome to refill, especially if you were to compare to stripper clips. The Winchester Model 1895. I guess you could make a stripper clip of sorts for a tube magazine although it would be unwieldy. It was the pointed "spitzer" bullet that made tube magazines impractical.

Just based on that article it was fine for loads when it came out just not modern ones. The main issue is cost, and I guess as someone mentioned, inertia.

Tankbuster posted:
It's funny seeing how confused these people are any time reality conflicts with their hilarious understanding of the war as "Ukraine clowns on Russians with superior technology." It is genuinely unclear to me what people are supposed to be seeing in this image. I even zoomed in and still can't see anything that looks like (I guess?) human bodies where the red marks are. At least with that one Tiananmen photo you can see the resemblance. Ytlaya has issued a correction as of 10:34 on Mar 12, 2023 |

Supposedly, the recoil was harsh because of its thin stock as well. The article kind of doesn't say either way because it is just talking about versus a Ruger for sports hunting. (There are other issues why a military wouldn't like they: they are a bit akward to reload without a stripper clip, it is a more mechanically complex and open action, issues with shooting while prone, they're expensive etc. Ian from Forgotten Weapons claims they are a better combat rifle than a Mosin, but I really have a hard time seeing this. The only thing they have going for them them is quicker follow up shots while standing.) Ardennes has issued a correction as of 10:59 on Mar 12, 2023 |

it’s a phone photo of something displayed on a computer monitor, so it’s super unclear and could definitely just be Arma 3 again
