War is ninety-nine parts boredom and, now and then, one part arse-opening terror. You have to be realistic about these things.

Rucking is no joke, I got seriously humbled doing a Norwegian for the first time with no real practice rucking, only weight lifting and PT running. Literally made it with only a minute to spare, my final time was something like 4:29:16, I had to shuffle-jog the last couple miles or I wouldn't have made it.
Right around mile 12 my bussy blew out and I just felt my legs buckling. You definitely need to train your legs and back to maintain good posture and not destroy yourself.

It's very intense exercise, but you also have to worry about things like stress fractures and other over-use injuries that don't bring any benefit and make you more vulnerable to similar injuries in the future.

I cringe whenever I see people running in those fitness plate carriers. LARPing as the troops and giving yourself a bulging disc doesn't make you eligible for VA disability rating.

There's probably better ways to endurance train that won't irreversibly wreck your joints.

Good idea, I’ll send him an email. I think he just sent out a message that this next run of grips will be the last for the foreseeable future so not sure if he’s getting out of the game
>>63916195
Good idea! The grips have a kind of unique geometry and I’m currently experimenting with how to get the dimensions consistently comfortable in the hand without being too wide, as I have to make them on the thicker side in order to be able to contain the geometry for the linkage, at the same time as having a panel for the image. I’m fine to forgo the grip texture options as long as I can get a consistent, clear finish and comfortable shape. Cutting the shape with a router shouldn’t be hard, figuring out how to do the chamfer angles will be the tough part for me. Should hopefully have next results from resin printing or potentially silicone molding and epoxy castings soon within the week. I’ll make a new thread if this one dies by then.

ITT you take a plane that is at least 50 years old and imagine an upgrade package for it to make it relevant as possible.

My beloved twin mustang will receive turboprop engines and an AESA radar in a giant pod between the fuselages. Below each fuselage, a single AMRAAM. The loyal citizens of my despotic regime may die by the hundreds piloting these contraptions but they will still be semi dangerous.

I was talking about the twin Mustang, Oratex or carbon fiber could possibly replace the skin.

And hell yes a Po-2 needs a better skin, bakelite is an improvement in how flammable their skins are. 'Flying comet' was a nickname and not in a good way.

Besides modernizing materials and some modest avionics upgrades the big change for the Po-2M would be making everything rear of the pilot modular so it could be reconfigured for various roles, they had several dozen variants including 5 person enclosed passenger versions.

>>63891540
Absolutely nothing, as i've pointed out a Il-28/H-5 could function perfectly well a a carrier for something like a Kinzal.

>drone fighters

One of the reasons the DPRK has so many early cold war fighters functioning is they can make the engines, the same engines were used for early cruise missiles and drones. They use freaking VK1s in their global hawk knock off. What you suggest, turning old frames into drones is entirely possible and has been done.

Believe it or not I found this one in a very local gun auction held by a local auctioneer that usually does full estate auctions (household junk, the guns if any, then the cars if any, then the house) with the help of a local gun shop to handle the transfers. There were TWO OF THEM and one had a wooden stock (AFAIK right now a $500 aftermarket stock). Both went for under $50 before transfer lol. The other, I saw a local guy selling and he wanted about $250 maybe 8 years ago. He also claims a guy talked to him who owns one. Why there are so many in my county I do not know. Try to find weird places like that; especially during COVID no one was bidding at all on weird shit. The bolt action 22LR Daisy went for about $100. I think my 1903 knockoff Daisy was like $250-300 with a wood stock and I nearly shit a brick when on closer inspection, the sale tag said "includes box, magazine." The rear sight had never been installed. Also check nearby large chain hunting stores for their used sections. Sometimes they get collections. Saw it with Daisy rifles as well as Remington Nylons. Prices were not bad either!

>The other, I saw a local guy selling and he wanted about $250 maybe 8 years ago
Whoops, I meant to say the first one I saw was 8 years ago going for $250. In total I've seen 3 VLs, 2 2202s ($225-250), 1 2201, a 2213 (mine), a 2203 (LGS), and whatever else the store had when I bought my 2213 meaning probably at least two other 2203s. Stop by local large chains if possible. Sometimes neat shit goes cheap. Sometimes there's nothing for months on end. Sometimes you end up spending money you shouldn't be because you found a vintage 22 that comes with the original box.
PS: Make sure you very clearly tell the guys working to not tape up your original box; they'll double-box it with whatever generic box that chain uses.

That's a different anon entirely from me. I'm the one who originally posted 6'2". The funniest shit here is that the argument has basically gone like this.

Putting all that shit aside, I asked what sword I should look into. I didn't ask what non-Asian, non-Mexican, non-Danish, non-Swiss sword I should look into, I asked what sword. As in, from anywhere in the world.

The obvious answer here is move to Japan, study under a master for several years, serve in his school as an instructor after that, and earn his respect/permission to teach it in Virginia.

The whole suggestion of skirting guild law it that swordsmiths could by virtue of their experience working steel could charge a premium. A skilled bladesmith could focus on "mass" producing blades while other balcksmiths and woodworkers whos time may not be valued equally could focus on everything else therby bringing down the price.
Since this was more or less practice it all sounds more like an incorporation of knife makers into the process to simply accomodate growing demand due to war.

I think you have absolutely _no idea_ what military "service" was in the 15th and 16th centuries, and the fact it was the preserve of professional soldiers - either mercenary units, or in the employ of a city-state prince. The burgher with their messer was not suddenly joining the army.

As I said, go find yourself a copy Anne B Tlusly's "The Martial Ethic in Early Modern Germany: Civic Duty and the Right of Arms" instead of imagining you have the slightest idea what you're talking about.

The KF-41 is a souped up Marder, which is a design dating back to the 1960's.
Rheinmetall developed it as an alternative for poorfag 3rd worlders who can't afford the KMW Puma.

The layout of the chassis does resemble the Marder, but it was improved in every possible way. The lance turret is also far more advanced. Compared to slav tech it's like space tech.

also
>drives well
>handles well
>more reliable than the Puma
>accurate as the Puma
>pretty well protected
>costs half as the Puma

It is a cheaper variant, but that also means the parts are cheaper, simpler, thus less prone to failure. The crew can be trained in a shorter time period too.
To put it simple. The KF-41 and the Marder was made for war, the Puma was made for parades.

Nothing called a 'bunker buster' in the beginning was ever meant to penetrate bunkers. They disturb the material around the bunker and ruin anything inside. An impregnable bunker is one large enough to avoid shock damage from the outside, which will eventually pulverize anything in an adjacent room.

Cheyenne Mtn is composed of essentially a geologically isolated bunker, with at all levels, in regular graded levels, a replication of isolation including the famous pods on coil springs, and the mundane equipment on horizontal cable coil springs in two laboriously, necessarily, MILSPEC quality bespoke (but sufficiently legally isolated) machined clamps affixed with socket-head capscrews of MILSPEC grade, above 50% in the NSN catalogs.

Indeed you get what you pay for in the USA MIC, just to backup the daily threads. If it's Italian shot-shit or MIC I take Boeing even though it's shit. I still preferentilly fly on Boeing/GE planes b/c they A) will beat RR anyway and B) only sell shit to thirdies, meanwhile UK regionals get RR quality Boeings no matter what every time. Japanese get Japanee quality Boeings. The Favella Express uses Airbus, on dedicated corruption routes long protected from Too Big to Fail USA MIC Boeing.
