How capable is the Canadian Army in 2025?

Why did they make the sleeve the "bullet" of the mechanism? It seems counterintuitive.

The sleeve does not have a solid base, so it's less efficient to be pushed against by the explosive vs the solid rod component, it weighed more meaning more explosive force was required to accelerate it, it requires a heavier and larger diameter tube(barrel) for the same firing performance, it requires the target end to be aligned more meticulous, a potential failure point in the case of internal damage, whereas having the cylinder be the target could be better supported and stay concentric, the larger mass also makes it more likely to fizzle or predetonate as for the same size of all other components it should be easier to send the rod faster to get it closer before criticality.

I know that implosion has its advantages but it seems like even a first time around for the gun type they could've done better.

Just watched through my spyglass as this group of poor sons of bitches crossed the Great Clog into the maintenance hatch that brings you directly to the negative levels. their excursion is doomed to fail, look at these rookies they're not even wearing NBC gear!

Might go down there tomorrow after some prep to recover their loot and consecrate their bodies so their souls don't stay stuck down there to get eaten as well.

Why did they have a magazine fed semi auto in 1893 but no submachine gun?

The Sharpest General on /k/ - Spooktober Edition

This thread is about the appreciation of knives and their design, their history, and the engineering and materials that are required to make a functioning blade.

"I want a knife recommendation."
Answer the following:
>Fixed or folding (or both (or neither))?
>Intended use/misuse?
>Blade length/girth?
>Local laws to ignore?
>You can afford this knife! Think of how much money you spend on food and water. Do you really need it? What about home heating? You can just turn it off and spend all that money on a knife! Do you really NEED to not freeze to death? Stop being a big baby, you can afford this knife!

Is the big hole ever actually used in doctrine? From what I understand based on that arfcom thread with one of the guys from the committee it was intended to be used with the A1 tritium front sight night sight, but the night sights were never issued en mass. it also seems odd that the A1 had a night sight option and some contemporary foreign rifles like the galil and famas have night sights and so much of the falklands war and desert storm had night fighting that they never issued night sights for the A2. granted, this of course gets mooted the second illuminated optics get issued en mass

Everybody likes the wehrmacht, but I think the real cool bad guys is the Imperial Japan.

How well are they made in 2025?

>breach loading rifles become popular
>no you don't understand, it's super important we put a graduated bullet drop compensator into the sights of every military rifle made after 1860
>red dots get invented in the mid 1980s
>no one has ever considered it important enough to put a bullet drop compensator in a red dot
I guess mechanical based bullet drop compensators weren't important on 20th century iron sights

why do american SOF helicopters keep getting shot down? the overwhelming majority of SOF members deaths in the past 30 years have been because of helicopter shootdowns

So did Turkey get ripped off having to buy 20 Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jets from Britain for $10.7 billion?

These 20 jets are the latest versions and with the missiles included in the package, the Turkish sides will also carry long-range, high-precision weapons just like their Greek counterparts. This could make mock dogfights almost obsolete in the Aegean sea.

MRE thread?

I just ate the creamy fettucine alfredo and it wasn't awful. From the way people talked about it, I thought it would be worse, instead it was just kind of bland and inoffensive. My bigger point of contention is those shitty wheat, white, and multigrain snackbreads they put in, does anyone like those? Give me the crackers any day, you can crumble them up and put them in the main too.

I miss when soldiers used to dress up in flashy clothes

Last thread got paged off, this is usually not a fast thread though, so what’s everyone up to?

What are the most /k/ youtube channels these days? Paul is kill. Garand thumb is good but he has to keep the zoomer interested with the memes and cod guns. Brent 0331 is based but he doesn't upload a ton. He's also a little too oorah for my liking. Who else is there?

What do you guys think of the Duck Hunter/Frogskin Camo A300 UP?

You have an R&D team and production facility with a $10 billion dollar budget to make equipment that would appear mundane to 14th century European militaries.
How much can you accomplish with simply utilizing 21st century metallurgy?
Can you do anything significant with the form with modern testing and simulations?
How much better do you think you can make equipment than contemporaries of the target period?
tl;dr how much better could you make late medieval equipment in the modern day assuming performance and not appearing magical or divine were the goals.

Looks like the bickering within the FCAS project is not stopping anytime soon.

>Our partner has been very open that they’re not happy with the work share that was agreed for the program, and they’re asking for something different, which is not what was agreed
>If Dassault Aviation is unhappy with the next generation fighter jet project FCAS, they have the option to exit
This is what Airbus SE Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury had to say to Dassault Aviation CEO Eric Trappier after the latter spent the better part of the past 6 months complaining about the project.

Is FCAS doomed? Will Germany, Spain and Sweden go their own way, buy the F-47 or join GCAP? Would they even be allowed into GCAP seeing how smooth that program has been so far?

Not to make this a /pol/ thread I just want sound advice from fellow /k/ anons, should I buy a third AR?

Youngkins vetoing of assault weapon bans in Virginia is over since its a sure shot that Spanberger is going to win and she has been very vocal about getting a ban passed.

I wanted to wait to get a third one (going the warlord route of getting 5 max to pass out to unarmed buddies in case of mass unrest) but Spanberger is going to throw a wrench in that plan with the high likelihood of Virginia getting cucked like Washington did.

So should I just wait like I wanted and buy out of state when I am ready? Or be a consoomer retard and give PSA $500 now for a spare rifle that will live in a safe and occasionally shot by buddies

Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

I'm thinking about buying a piston operated upper but can't choose between LMT, LWRC, or PWS. PWS seems attractive due to being cheaper than the other two, I don't know how their long stroke really compares to short stroke besides more recoiling mass. As for LMT/LWRC, I'm more leaning towards LWRC since I've seen that LMT has some quality issues. I want to use the gun in a sort of IAR-ish role and use it with a FRT/super safety.

Are there anons on this board who've genuinely killed people? If so, why and what does it feel like?

Satellite pictures confirm China has copied the American Stealth Blackhawk used in the Obama bin Laden raid.
