What is it with medium and large 2a accounts on her being completely uneducated on the actual workings of firearms.
.223 Remington is 5.56x45. they're the same thing and completely interchangeable.
Tactical Wisdom@DolioJ
5.56, not 223. It matters.

@TheWesternBlue1 @gatnerd @2805662 NIJ standards for BFD are insanely conservative. The Army quietly voices disagreement with it all the time. The few recorded deaths caused by BFD are in the 3x to 4x range of NIJ requirements

Thinking that a 11” barrel precludes armour defeat in 2026 is pretty amusing, ngl.

Me seeing a 10" barrel NGSW for a program initially designed for Armor Penetration:
English
@DoomerTapes Biggest downside is reduced range (each sub projectile is like 15-20gr and cylindrical) and reduced terminal effect (basically like a .22lr wadcutter). But it would definitely help close range hit probability; might be neat using it ever 3-4rd with the rest regular ball?

Tell me why we shouldnt be running this in our belt feds as a general purpose round
Gatnerd@gatnerd
Anti-Drone 5.56 NSWC Crane’s ‘Drone Killer Cartridge’, designed to break into 3 pieces to create a mini shotgun effect for better hit probability against drones. Range better than the previous saboted BB designs, at the expense of having less close range spread.
English
@vbgamer17 Not offering a belt fed was a huge mistake. But really NGSW itself was poorly run. Ammo should have been developed first, then a LMG, then a rifle, rather then the winner take all that was done.

M8 carbine PIE production standard. Love it or hate it, the weight difference compared to the legacy M7 is undeniable. PIE improvements are now being rolled out across the production run and being delivered to the 🇺🇸 Army.

@No1_ImPoRtAn7 @gatnerd The M250 fills the one man gun extremely well. Its not a 1 for 1 replacement for a M249. But it is for a MK48. It fills a completely different role than a M240
English
@vbgamer17 @gatnerd The Sig M250 is a pretty dumb replacement option for the M249 and was unnecessary, if they wanted the function of 6.8x51 they could have done the barrel swap on the M240, if they really wanted a better 5.56 belt fed they'd have bought the KAC LAMG like SOCOM did.
English
@No1_ImPoRtAn7 @gatnerd And the M240 isnt a replacement for the M249
English
@vbgamer17 @gatnerd Wasn't necessary. It's just a barrel swap for the M240.

@RecklessSquirel @Chud_Benis You have all the information at the tips of your fingers....use it.

People are arguing all over our TL about this fucking nonsense so we’ll set it straight.
Every weapon is a weapon of war with the proper attitude.
Every American citizen should be able to own any weapon of war.
It doesn’t matter what the fuck you know about a weapon, what you call it, or how much of its history you know….
…if you’re not better than proficient with using it in any hostile situation.
Oh….
If you haven’t been in a firefight or are a fat fucking horse apple.
Don’t lecture people who have been in one and aren’t fat pieces of shit, about your weapon prowess.
Thank you.
Carry on.

@marten_damien @gsd7373 @MeromeroCa97371 @LincolnBanks6 @smcroasters explain how a mp15, a bushmaster are different from the colt ar15 that isn't a metallurgical or heat treatment choice? pretty sure I can swap receivers and barrels between them too.

@Dmonstersjeesh @WatsonLadd @OpsecCurze The point of the Battle od Yonkers is to completely disregard how weapons work in real life otherwise the US Army would steam roll zombies
English
@WatsonLadd @OpsecCurze That would have been a good idea, but the point of the Battle of Yonkers was that the military was treating them like a conventional army instead of adapting to this new enemy. If they'd taken them seriously from the start, they'd have used napalm.
English
I now remember Brooks said they couldn't bomb the giant zombie hoards because he thought 500lb bombs were glorified hand grenades that mostly produce shrapnel.

This is literally what happens in the World War Z novel btw.
English
@ravemastaj @OpsecCurze And he doesn't understand that arty rarely kills people cause of blast pressure. But the fragmentation of the shell. Which since zombies don't wear helmets. Makes them very easy to kill in large numbers with arty
English
@OpsecCurze I thought his contention with that was that blast effects don't really do anything to zombies due to their physiology. You would basically create a bunch of crawlers without destroying the brain (in his own lore).
Then again, he advocates for jars of gunpowder, so who knows?
English
@Dmonstersjeesh @OpsecCurze Except you realize the arty primarily kills people by fragmentation. Not overpressure. Air bursting arty rounds which has been the norm since WW2 would be super efficient against zombies
English
@OpsecCurze No, he said that they did massive damage to their bodies, even going into gory details about it, but since not enough of it was targeted at their brains, the effective blast radius was far smaller than it was for humans, making it very inefficient.
English
@OpsecCurze IIRC at Yonkers he had a bit where the soldiers discuss that most of artillery damage is from blast pressure to liquefy internal organs but zombies are immune to this because reasons
English

@smcroasters @Chud_Benis These idiots and their loose language are going to fuck the second amendment completely over.
I’ve used a 1911, SR-25, Remington 700, M9, a Glock, and a p226 in war. Are they wanting those band too because those are literally weapons of war.
English
@GggPote @robin_sage19 Well they didn't have apaches available. And not briefing the 10th mountain was normal at the time. A lot of stuff that is taken for granted today was unknown at that time
English
@vbgamer17 @robin_sage19 But the Rangers didn't even brief their own allies, the 10th Mountain Division, on the operation, and they hadn't even considered using Apaches from the very beginning...
English
@hot_cheese69 @Wergo20 @rah_66_comanche The Battle of Yonkers would look like trash cause it would make even less sense in a visual medium
English
@Wergo20 @rah_66_comanche HBO should have picked it up as a mulitpart series, imagine Yonkers getting the proper depiction, the evacuation of kiyv? The part with the pilot who crashed in Louisiana

@holesindrywall @FocusTripp2 Ah yes cause thats what I want to do. Play Spec Ops in my back yard.
The idea that the government cant do good testing is just a insane idea.

@vbgamer17 @FocusTripp2 Ma gooberment testing told me it’s the best. Go buy one bud so you can be a super delta seal in your back yard.

AMU running MK1s. They, like the testing and development division of NSW, don’t know anything about good rifles I’m pretty sure, I better head to YouTube to find out FROM THE REAL EXPERTS.

@CompletelyNobo1 The fictional bit of technology? Are you referring to the Battle of Yonkers
English
@vbgamer17 You're assuming I applied anything more than a comparison to a fictional bit of technology.
English
@CompletelyNobo1 Please tell me what assumptions you think I'm making
English
@CompletelyNobo1 It does when someone is trying to bring up a fictional battle that required ignoring how things like arty, tanks/IFVs, firearms and radio works. To shit on program thats designed to keep our infantry ahead of our peers. Cause they think reliance on technology is bad or something.

@vbgamer17 Out of curiosity, does prefacing your replies with "Ah yes", make you feel somehow wiser and more profound?
