CDNcommissar Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Army University Press - Military Review (US Army's Professional Journal) Pretty meh, a lot of "HR" type articles with derpy titles... and also some older GPC derp! AN ARMY OUTGUNNED: Physics Demands A New Basic Weapon (author has a PhD...in Political Science) Doesn't seem to require authors to provide citations, references, a bibliography etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By January I had lost about 25 pounds, and with only that much weight loss (I was close to 300 previously) I was able to run up and down hills that previously would have left me winded at a walking pace. Others on this forum were there, @Collimatrix, @T___A, @LostCosmonaut, and Colli in particular can attest to the mobility difference between that year and the previous one. So my experience is right in line with that graph, where adding a mere ~10 pounds at the right end halves your range. @Oedipus Wreckx-n-Effect is pretty much an expert on this subject, and the funny thing is that all this follows iron rules of human kinematics that have been established in athletics for decades. He can elaborate more, but basically the reason you see the perspectives that you do from infantry planners is that they know absolutely fuckall about how the human body works and performs, it's hilarious.

Roths Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 https://mega.nz/#!WsNSTajK Link to a DTIC powerpoint on tubular projectiles for use in machine guns. I'd link the original DTIC here but the link seems to have gone kaput unfortunately, so I upload the powerpoint to here. Basically a short little overview over some R&D on projectiles designed with a Busemann's Biplane shape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busemann's_Biplane https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/491944.pdf "retardation of tubular projectiles made from the 20mm american ball" https://apps.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/b087370.pdf "30mm tubular projectile" Some additional PDFs on the matter.
