This is a good post. Desperately fantasizing about those big mean planes is the only thing that keeps a lot of GIPers going when they're getting pegged by their wives. The Slithery D fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Aug 24, 2015 |

and I'm sure when those big mean planes fly over your house you're the first one to go post on your neighborhood blog about how they rattled your decorative plate collection off the wall.

No, treat it like the Army and pretend like I enjoy it, then bitch to my friends about it when the wife isn't around to hear.

Branis posted:i always felt like EOtechs were optics were too busy, I like the single red dot of an aimpoint. Acquire dot fire bullets. I took the EOtech thing to mean anything in that temp range not if you took it from -40 to 122F so if you use it and its 100 degrees out you might get some drift. That seems to be the plain language of the statement, but that doesn't make any sense. So it only works properly below -40F and above 122F? That can't be right.

Brown Moses posted:Bad TOW related day for a pro-Assad 14.5mm gunner Shaped charges can't melt steel 14.5mm. At least if they hit the wall behind them. And any explosion you can fall away from is a good one.

Zeroisanumber posted:Assuming that the neurons in his brain aren't lightly whipped, his lungs probably both popped like balloons. Shaped charge, power of an explosion drops as a square ratio of distance. Rolled steel penetration in front of the warhead is going to do a surprisingly low fraction of that force to a dude a few feet behind it. Wikipedia claims the biggest TOW warheads are 13.5 pounds of explosive. That's a big less than the Comp B or TNT in a 155mm shell, but with less shrapnel risk, excepting whatever concrete flakes blew back. Random explosions are more potentially survivable than you think.

If you take a CDE course you'll learn that kill radius for blast is a fraction of shrapnel or building ejecta for the big bombs, and that's for non shaped munitions.

Phanatic posted:The cube. The explosion is filling a volume in space, not the surface of a sphere. Square. The blast is a two dimensional blast front, it is exactly the surface of a sphere. If you've every seen a good video of a 2000 lb bomb you see the ring of the blast expand outward through the terrain along the ground. Edit: I think the best ones are actually showing air compression on the blast front because of humidity, actually. The Slithery D fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Feb 5, 2016 |
