Welcome to /k/, 4chan's weapons board. Our board centers around weapons, armor, and other myriad military technology. While guns are the primary topic, threads involving any other sort of weapons, from swords and knives to tanks and jet fighters, come up frequently as well. If you're new, we suggest reading the sticky at http://amagicalplace.wikia.com/wiki/Sticky to get acquainted with the board's subject matter.

Before posting a thread, please check our catalog to ensure that a thread about the same topic does not already exist.

None of the Royal Navy’s destroyers or frigates have the ability to fire missiles at targets on land, leaving the US to carry out the majority of strikes on Houthi targets with support from RAF planes based 1,500 miles away.

A British defence source said HMS Diamond, the destroyer stationed in the Red Sea, had not joined retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets because it did not have “the capability to fire to land targets”. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said it had instead been “directly involved in successfully destroying Houthi drones targeting shipping in the Red Sea”.

This weekend, a British-linked container ship caught fire after becoming the latest vessel targeted by Houthi rebels.

One former rear admiral suggested that Britain’s inability to strike the Iran-backed Houthi movement’s bases from warships highlighted how the Navy would be unable to “go toe to toe” with Chinese and Russian warships.

Currently, the only weapons on destroyers that can fire at other ships or land are artillery guns at the front of each vessel. While US destroyers can fire Tomahawk guided missiles at land targets, the UK’s only options for such strikes are deploying planes or submarines, five of which were reported to be unavailable at one point in the autumn.

Weird, American offshore patrol boats have exactly the same armament as Canadian offshore patrol boats. I guess the American navy is a failed enterprise.

i doubt that billons would die. india would be largely intact imo (usa and russia wouldn't bomb it, china and pakistan don't have the warheads). china would likely be very affected, also europe and north america, but there would be A LOT of survivors everywhere in that continents too. also africa and most of asia would be out of it and that's where most of the population is.

That's why I said worst case scenario. If Nuclear Winter is a real thing then most people in the northern hemisphere would starve to death. A few years to a decade of no sun would cause mass famine. Deaths from the bombs themselves would probably be around 100million in europe and the US but there would be nothing to feed the rest of the population for years.

Every other nation in the world would probably go to war as a result too. Korea, pakistan, india, all of the middle east. Everyone that has a grudge would be set off.

There is a second drone watching the tank from up top which has this view.

But it's literally bad faith. The original guy is intentionally making a fallacious comparison. Peter is not invincible like Wolverine and MJ is not a random civilian, she's a character who is deeply sympathetic towards him. It's dumb that Peter isn't already 2 meters away with MJ in his arms by the time the attack was this close (unless he had his spider sense disabled somehow), but MJs actions are perfectly reasonable and there's plenty of media that features weaker characters sacrificing themselves for the hero which, rightfully, doesn't get any flak for that.

It's all just sad fucks trying to pretend that a somewhat boring and mediocre thing is some sort of a crime against storytelling.

The FBI spent millions of dollars and several years studying the most effective sidearm calibers for their agents after they got BTFO in the Miami shootout. Their conclusions were .45 Super and 10mm were the clear winners, and briefly adopted 10mm as their new agency standard. Then a bunch of beta males and female agents said 10mm had much kick for them to handle, and they had to go back to the drawing board and came up with the cucked .40 S&W cartridge instead, completely defeating the purpose of the studies.

Realistically, if anyone had ever posted anything of value over the last 8+ threads... Unfortunately it's just the one pretend schizo who starts these threads and nurses them so they can torturously limp to bump limit over WAY too many days, and actual schizos attracted by the body odo(u)r of his shitty >implications.
Real schizos make a post or two before fucking off, they're also somehow more coherent than this negroid. That's probably because they actually believe the slop they're shoveling.

The first World War was actually the Dutch–Portuguese War, because they fought on all the continents, thus a World War.

Wipe down the carry gun after every shoot but don't totally break it down. Fully disassemble it after like 1k rounds.
My .22 I deep clean after every squirrel season.
My deer-Mosin gets cleaned with tender love& care after every season.
My shotgun i haven cleaned in probably 6 years; probably put about 4k shells through it in that time. I occasionally wipe some oil on the exterior when it gets rust spots.

Depends on the gun. Most of them I clean every time as I just like cleaning and disassembling them, the ones I shoot often I usually wait a bit like 1k-2k rounds. in any case I don't allow a gun to sit dirty for more than 2 weeks because of my fear of rust.
With 22lr (90% of what I can shoot lately) when it starts to malfunction.
>>61483548
hot soapy water in a ultrasonic cleaner is very effective, I just never do it to anything that isn't completely disassembled or with a simple shape like bolts etc in fear of not being able to dry it properly and then getting rust. I don't even know why I'm so fearful of rust when I haven't had a single speck of it beside when I forgot my 22/45 mags in the rain overnight.

These things never even existed. Which isn't surprising, considering they're an engineering impossibility.

>>61483421
Probably not the F-22. Definitely not the F-35. F-35 has 360x180° IRST and that's a soft counter to radar stealth.
