Tied

I like the bit where the M-14 can shoot through one Viet Cong soldier and kill the one behind it.

The 7.62 does have a habit of overpenetrating and just wounding foes, so i would say there might be a chance the first guy just has a neat whole through him

"More than half of the small arms engagements in Afghanistan are beyond 500 meters"

 

However, they are not engagements between soldiers firing old style rifles at each other.  They are engagements between heavy weapons where the infantry basically have to sit on their ass and soak casualties.  I have video from a bunch of engagements, and most have M4 armed soldiers going to ground and negotiating rule of engagement with air power until they can get a kinetic strike in, then finding out their own 60mm did most of the damage. Restrepo showed an action just like that, as did that TV doc that is on now.

The same resonates from the soviet experience in Afghanistan, have the battles fought were pretty much solely 14.5mm territory

though when the muj got close they usually toke horrendous casulites from the VDV actually getting to flex some of their combat skills instead of just taking turns on the KPV 

I was under the assumption that the museum directors had a moment of clarity and decided to focus on vehicles worth restoring.

IIRC it was one of the last running T-35's.

thats already restored

im all for them restoring the object 187

and maybe

producing about 1,000 of them or so

not his qoute actually, but still worth reading in his voice

I would think they have far more historically significant examples to deal with.

Also, last I heard saner heads had prevailed and the project was shelved.

 

 

They may be having issues with their ridiculous play count/post system.

i guess they need to buy more life jackets before they drown in wehrabucks

Mig-27, really have a soft-spot for this beast

one of my all-time favorite aircraft, mig-25

entertaining and factually correct documentary, good stuff

 

 

Our first topic: Attack helicopters. They are undoubtedly awesome, but in a large-scale conventional war, will they be resilient enough to have a presence on the battlefield?

 

Yes, though modern AA system are formidable, attack helo's have so far and will continue to remain a powerful force both in terms of transport and offensive firepower for decades to come 

just like tanks, they only become an obsolete technology when the force using them is arguably incompetent 

Ive seen it before

Not that bad of an idea, since if i was a tanker i would probably shoot the back of a Panther's turrent before its engine 

Yeah Don summed it up. I liked both, the pacific was hard to watch at times it was so graphic. 

pansy

Generation kill is a good alternative 

It's unavoidable, and it's nice to get out of your system once in a while with chill dudes. So for gun chat, I present one of the few decent Mosin projects I've seen online:

 

 

Mosins converted to fire 45-70, and I want them.

those are the stupidest not taticool mosins ive ever seen 

then again, 7.62 grows on tree's over here so i guess its an ammo concern for you guys

but they still look dumb

I'm sad for you that you consider tabasco good hot sauce.

Very sad.

i didnt say hot sauce

its more like liquidized pepper 

I like them both, Pacific focused alittle more than bob on the home front, but both are very good

Bob does have an opening credits scene that lasts for a solid 5 minutes, in every episode for some reason

and, how the hell have you now seen Bob/Pacific?

also, i recommend generation kill, its not nearly as action packed, but its along the same lines and a quality show, all 3 are free for amazon prime members

im currently reading bits  of the Pacific book aswell off and on, the thing is massive but well done 

yes

say what you want about its balance or technical fidelity, but watching a Kv-2 and P-47 kill the better part of 10 tigers never gets old in warthunder 

wargamming ladies and gentlemen

The bazooka-equipped L4 Piper Cubs were mentioned in the video, so I googled them. Naturally, I was directed to Sparky's site.

 

Im really starting to think sparky is in the pocket of MMZ to encourage more countries to adopt Shilka food 

This is a must watch for all Sherman tank fans.  

 

the thing about airports is that we already have good guys armed with guns

they are called cops

now i hate the "cops exist, therefor why should you ever need a firearm argument" as much as anyone, but i think it holds water that the one place you shouldnt reanct your favorite road warrior scene in is a airport especially considering the post 911 scare that Americans are forced to live under, for eternity 

Nothing says good guy like bringing your magazine specially designed for prolonged shooting at possibly large amounts of people to an airport

i mean for fucks sake

bring a fucking pistol, you just look like a giant asshole with a small dick who wants fucking attention

or 

a psychopathic that could unload his high-capacity mag into the nearest crowd at any given moment

Here's what Chris Hernandez has to say about yahoos walking around with rifles carried at port arms:

everything i see that neckbeard and his crackhead friend with the butchered SKS i die alittle inside

i mean, losers are losers, but what did the poor SKS do to you?

If I were employed in a less professional capacity, I would probably make a video about a guy who OCs by duct-taping AR pistols to his hands. "YOU'RE OPPRESSING ME! OH MY GOD MY RIGHTS!!!!"

Also, here's the gun industry's lovable favorite grandpa on OC:

 

when i recongized the same piano lead in theme as half in the bag i knew it was gonna be good
