Better to build a less good gun with its own special ammo than figure out a better storage option for your regular guns.

Danann posted:imagine if the stealth concept turns out to be a bust and the f-35 is reduced to flying low just like its older cousins lol Sensors and data processing are improving fields of technology. Even if there were improvements in the field of “invisibility”, it would be impossible to retrofit the planes to implement them.

gradenko_2000 posted:I watched Top Gun Maverick yesterday and there's something almost Ur-Fascist in the way that the movie tries to drive home this point of 'a piloted plane is still better than a drone because of the human element' as well as 'a better pilot can overcome a technologically-superior plane' as part of the fictional mystique of the American military... Liberal excuse making is ur-fascism. Just make an excuse for what you want. When your whims change, make an excuse for that. The liberal is the eternal hero of a story they are telling themselves.

Adding any armor or weapons to a vehicle means it is now a tank. It must have everything a tank should have because that is the standard by which it is judged. The vehicle’s original purpose is secondary.

Slavvy posted:It jammed because the troops were told it was a self cleaning rifle and other nonsense, the AR is actually super mud resistant compared to most rifles The chrome lined barrels mean the gun is so clean it doesn't need it doesn't need cleaning kits. Also it can use dirtier burning ammo because it is so clean. It is so clean they got rid of the chrome lined barrels.

Speaking of energy weapons and Rifts, I always thought the insistence that lasers able to destroy tanks are totally silent was funny. There’s something about energy weapons that makes people forget about the basic physics of their externalities. Bar Crow has issued a correction as of 19:56 on May 9, 2023 |

The best use for the house is repeatedly selling it to yourself to drive up the price and taking out loans based on the inflated value. Then use the money to repeat the process and dissolve society so there is no organizing force to oppose you. You’ll have to employ mercenaries to replace some social functions and they may have to fortify random houses. You’ll just have to hope they don’t realize they have no future, regardless of whether or not they die in some wrecked hovel.
