  1. There is nothing to learn from that conflict for tank designers, ironically. All problems with T-64-like MBTs were known years ago. Only thing that this war showed is that Ukrainian ERA "Nozh" is crap.

     

     

    T-72B3 tanks near Debaltsevo. Russians Winter is coming.

    Just lol. Cage armor and ERA is for stupid Juden-Moskal's. 

     

    So, what the serial numbers on the unditching logs?

     

    This is very important information to me.

  2. From most of the videos I see these days, any RPG RPG must include muttering "Allah Akbar" repetitively while someone films you with a cell phone camera who is also muttering "Allah Akbar". This goes in for two to four minutes until you work up the courage to shoot. At that point something happens like you being sniped, hit by artillery, machine gun fire or the RPG itself explodes because it has been boobie-trapped. At which point the "Allah Akbar-ing" reaches a frenzied pitch as the cameraman loses focus.

    And then inexplicably loads the whole thing on YouTube.

     

    Nah, Liveleak is clearly the go-to source for all your insurgent and populist rebellion needs.

  3. The logic is sound; my objection is that in appropriately small pistols, .357 from a revolver is not really more powerful than 9mm +P.

     

    Yeah, .357 is kind of a waste in a small frame though if you ask me. From what I understand, 6-7 inches is generally the optimal barrel length for most .357 loads depending on projectile and and powder type. as that test tends to show. (A sealed gap revolver design would be really useful.)

     

    I think the point I was trying to make was, there's alot of rounds like the .357 that don't get loaded to their full potential by the vast majority of ammo manufacturers (among others, such as the .357 SIG and 10mm Auto), and aside from really, only Buffalo Bore and Double Tap (maybe Cor-Bon, but Cor-Bon's marketing department usually makes their claims reek of bullshit to me), no one really makes hot loads for rounds that are somewhat out of favor yet still very viable for their intended function (or, not obsolete.)

     

    So yeah, it may cost a bit to do so, but a 125 gr .357 hollow point hitting you at 1,700-1,800 fps is seriously going to fuck up your day, while still being within a reasonable recoil and gun size/length for most shooters. (I consider .357 to be about the edge for a weapon viable for a defensive weapon being just below simply something intended for more thick skinned mammals.)

     

    And no, this isn't some "9mm euro set to stun pellet XAXAXA" post, 9x19mm is perfectly viable as a defensive round, just that other rounds work too.

    This is Electric Six.  If you don't know Electric Six, you're wrong.

     

    The best thing to come from Detroit since tailfins on cars, Electric Six is the brainchild of professionally insane alleged heterosexual Dick Valentine (real name Tyler Spencer).  Their music is an eclectic, but somehow harmonious mixture of disco, new wave, metal, punk, and whatever the hell else they feel like.

     

    Their early material was very accessible and dance-oriented, but the sound has since become more avant-garde.  Somehow, despite a high potential for pretension, they've kept the music extremely fun.  Dangerously fun.  Dick Valentine's lyrics are the deepest verse of our era; a mishmash of disjoined concepts that always comes to rest on certain recurring meditations.  The young girls.  Nuclear war.  Hair care products.  The Devil.  Drugs.  Presidents of the USA.  Fast food.  William Butler Yeats' seminal poem The Second Coming.

     

    What does it mean?  Who cares.  Electric Six is the Cabaret of our times, if Cabaret were actually from Weimar-era Germany and not the 1970s.  Or maybe the comparison is more apt than I know.  Electric Six may be from the future; from some unforgiving, nuke-scarred tomorrow where Detroit is actually the least bad place in the world, and they're here to tell us not to worry about it.  Just don't worry.  See that young girl in front of you?  Just push.  Push.  Nothing could go wrong.

     

    How does a post about Electric Six go without Gay Bar? HOW?

     

  5. Since I was fanboying Buffalo bore earlier in the thread, may aswell post this video, I used to own a S&W 327 loaded with these, got around 1,800 fps under ideal conditions, he claims 1,724 which is still more then what buffalo bore themselves claim they'll get out of a 6.5" barrel when the tester is using a 4".

     

    And.... That's why I trust Buffalo bore alot, really honest, really hot loaded, and use well known, reputable bullet designs. (Speer Gold Dots for lead loads and Barnes Solid Copper for their lead free lines usually in pistol calibers.)

     

    .....It also likely helps show why the .357 got a very good reputation as a defensive and police round from I imagine.

     

  6. Hmm, ok yes, after looking at the production dates, it would appear 20mm and 40mm fuzings were more well into post war, so small correction on that.

     

    The numbers I have seen for increase in effectiveness comes from analyzing how the amount of shots on average required to shoot down an aircraft went from 2400 early on in the war, to 600-400 when VT fuzes were in widespread adoption.

  7. If you want to be technical, the VT Fuze was used years prior to it appearing on the western front in AA guns in the Pacific theater, where they had them for calibers as small as 20mm and as large as 5". The reason it took so long for high command to allow their use in land based artillery was due to risk of a dud shell being captured and reverse engineered, this is obviously not a problem if a dud shell falls into thousands of feet of ocean water.

     

    They increased the effectiveness of AA fire by around 600% or something retardedly high like that.
