Thread 64224539

what prevents someone from making a ballistic shield that is uparmoured to resist rifle caliber or at least pistol shots? and then putting two small wheels under it for ease of traverse?
with that and a gladius you'd have something that'd be unbeatable in CQC in tight corridors

>>64224539 (OP)
You just described french counter terror equipment until that retarded bit at the end (they just use 357 revolvers and other short firearms, although the revolver remains in use due to the shield impeding slide cycling on semi autos under lots of circumstances)

>>64224539 (OP)
Well, the person creating such a thing would realize that if he ever bothered to put in such effort, he'd still get taken out with explosives. Mobility is king.

>>64224539 (OP)
>and then putting two small wheels under it for ease of traverse?
they were pretty useless

>>64224539 (OP)
Actually, scratch that. Make a whole suit that's completely bulletproof and then put two small wheels under him for ease of traverse.

>>64224539 (OP)
what if OP was stripped naked then tarred and feathered, tied to a pole, to which we then set on fire with napalm while us audience jerk our nuts in sync

Nothing

Is this how American children are escorted to their classrooms?

A duralumin shield used by the Japanese police in the 1970s was pierced by rifle bullets from the Japanese Red Army.

>>64224860
That 'child' looks older than the cop next to him

>>64224555
We need to go further.
What if instead of wheels we use tracks, and also give him a gun mounted on the suit?
We could also make the suit bigger to fit more people.

>>64224930
I don't think so. You're gonna ruin the element of surprise when someone has to come and put the tracks down first.

>>64224909
The japanese red army?

>>64224544
>they just use 357 revolvers

no they don't. you NEVER see GIGN using revolvers anymore because the stupid mantra of "were not americans we dont magdump!" died off when everyone realized magdumping is based

Japanese Communist Guerillas trained and funded by Palestine

Tactical advantage of having an unarmed child as your battle buddy?

>>64224930
That’s going to be heavy and hard to push. What if we motorize it so the person/people can focus and maneuvering and shooting?

>>64225249
He's the backup rear shield

>>64224539 (OP)
What the fuck are you saying? Is this supposed to be a question? Why the fuck would you be using a sword when guns exist? Why would they need bullet-proof armor in a time when guns don't exist?

Stop being retarded.

>>64225253
If we're motorising them we might as well add several shields, to protect against fire from all angles.

>>64226045
I’d like to be able to attack back as well. Couldn’t we add some kind of machine gun or cannon?

>>64226068
If we did it would need to fire at threats from any direction. We should probably put it in a turret.

>>64226121
I mean the only other way to give them all-around attack capabilities would be to have several guns, in some kind of casemate/sponson housing, pointing in all directions. Unfortunately a VLS set up would be a non-starter for indoors use, so a turret would probably be the way to go.

...and that's how Bob Semple invented his tank!

>>64225229
>Japanese Communist Guerillas trained and funded by Palestine

What the fuck

>>64224873
Only when the Terror Condition is Yellow or lower.

>>64224873
No. That would prevent them from doing their part for US gun culture.

>>64226164
>Bob, we want you to build us a tank
>"OK, I'll need a few months to work on the design - minimum - and all the steel and factories you can give me"
>Best we can do is a diesel powered agricultural tractor, some corrugated steel sheeting, and a Bren gun.

Melee is never coming back and if it did then your obsession with an outdated sword would get you #REKT.

>>64224860
Why not give it cool spider legs?

>>64238253
Why not duct tape it to a endangered giant tortoise and dangle a carrot in front of it?

Nothing, it's been done

>>64238429
Dude looks angry because someone shot up his favourite shield

>>64224539 (OP)
What happens if the defenders nail a rail to the floor across the corridor, make the corrodir to narrow, or cement a post in place?. How will you get your 1/2 ton armored door on wheels past that? Obstacles have been a counter to armor on wheels for centuries.

>>64224860
Why isnt that child armed?

>>64226168
but of course
what did you think they did with the trillions of gibs they've received over the years? spend it on building a peaceful and prosperous neighbouring state?

That's just scratching the surface
The japanese red army embraced communism so hard that during one hostage crisis they killed more of their own then the police did
Guess nobody explained them that you usually wait after you've taken power before you get your purges on
Even the Norks considered them crazy

>>64225117
They're a communist guerilla group from Japan, although they were funded by Palestine... during one hostage crisis they killed more of their own then the police did

>>64238984
>marxism-shogunism
kek, good one
the absurd part is that the real story is even more retarded, since they purged like 50% of their crew even before the crisis started, and the final stage of the siege was them hiding in a big pile of futons

Why is it that whenever someone says "x is king" it's always some Dunning Kruger retard?

>>64241649
We have tanks getting taken out by small drones, and you think infantry carrying around a portable heavy shield with wheelbarrows and dollies is a good idea? You are brain-dead.

OP doesn't know what a Pavise is.
Thus OP doesn't know why Pavises are no longer in use.

OP is retarded, as is tradition, so instead
>Assume you have a ballistic shield that is light enough to be carried/you have a system to carry it ie; exo-skele-teen and we handwave the materials science away and just say "full stop bulletproof up to, say, .50 BMG or specifically designed AP ammo"
>You can have one in an active warzone
>BUT
>You need to carry that shit all the fucking time. Hope you like having a huge chunk of your total carryable volume taken up by a turtle shell on your back when not in use.
>Does nothing to stop you getting shot in the side, or if you chicken wing and get clipped in the elbow, grenades, getting shot in the foot if your stance is wrong, etc
Do you take the ballistic shield or do you retain the ability to move with some degree of dexterity, easily go prone, easily shoulder your rifle, etc instead of getting your giant fucking board stuck on every single goddamn thing ever?

>>64238429

Such an ideal loadout for a period.
>>64241721
There is a compromise, medium shields. Especially good if built from pure Unobtainium.

>>64224555
Get rid of the guy inside and then you don't have to armor it anymore. Give it flamethrowers and a 30mm grenade launcher. And then put two small wheels under him for ease of traverse.
