So multiple german newspapers report, that the ammo of the Leopard 2 is not able to defeat Russian T-90, because it is tungsten and not DU?
Best part in the reports is, that the new ammo which is stated to be used from 2017 can only be fired from the A7 and not the A6 or A5, even though it is the same gun basically.
Truth, or did the journalists simply fuck up?
True.

Well for one thing posting those reports would be a good first step so we can see if they include any real sources.
Looking at the fact that other nations are picking the German smoothbore gun with similiar tungsten rounds (see South Korea) and don't have a problem with the penetration power.
It sounds like a case of hyperbole that a tank gun isn't capable of penerating the frontal armor at any range.
So has any of us joined them?

These are YPG-Kurds. Funny that Syria that has been usually the most censored and undersupported Kurdish region is getting volunteers nowadays.
I know with the whole rebellion thing going on, the Emperor is probably gonna put a law out against it, but is it legal to own a DC-15a? There's a guy in my apartment block who's been talking to me about selling me his.

Steam has a very large 'Star Wars' games sale on at the moment due to the May the 4th (be with you) coming up. Just letting you know.
>>25648074
You don't need a DC-15 assault rifle. It's harder to shoot, you don't need high capacity power cells. Buy a blast cannon, buy a blast cannon.

70%? Pretty decent.
Why is "I was just following orders" not a valid defense? Aren't soldiers required to be subordinate to their superiors?
>>25617600
yes but you have a greater duty to humanity to not do things like machine gun hundreds of villagers into a mass grave
or cart off civilians to death camps
not not torture that family to death because their missing son might be a viet cong
>>25617600
It's a source of friction.
On one hand, soldiers are taught to obey orders and you can get into pretty serious shit if you don't.
On the other, you don't want to be a piece of shit, but you'll be court martialled if you don't follow orders.
Honestly, I think it should be a valid defense if it can be corroborated.
>>25617600
The logic is that you're not supposed to follow orders that you think are morally wrong.
That argument falls a bit flat when you realize that in the kind of situations where "I was following orders" comes into play, generally if you refuse you will get shot. Or your sister and mother will get shot. And your dog will be raped.
Melee thread? Melee thread.
Post your melee weapons and share designs.
I finally got my hunting bat back from the police and I thought a good old melee thread would be just the thing to celebrate the occasion. Pic related.

>hunting bat
so you took a baseball bat, which is already a pretty decent weapon on it's own, and wrapped barbed wire around the end so it can get caught, tangled and stuck in shit

Hello /k/omrade, great to finally meat you. I kill animals with clubs too.

Post /k/ related humor. Dumping some to start the thread

Alrighty /k/, I've been lurking for about 5 or 6 years now and I've decided I need to be a pirate. I am a 27 year old white man.
Need to. I have had 2 things happen to me recently that have sparked this. My ferryman father died, and left me his very large, very seaworthy RoPax ferry. This has room for much cargo, many weapons, people, drugs, fuel you name it. My mother is going to sell it within ~1 year if I don't take over the ferry job. This requires us to get together in short time. I know /k/ is full of people with no one else in life, and I will post this...

Go for it.
you tried hunting with fuck your shit rounds and started a fire again?

>Littoral Combat Ship
We need to come up with better names for military vehicles and vessels. The fact that soulless acronyms like IFV and APC have been adopted is testament to modern lack of creativity.
>>25471927
But littoral combat ship is a good name.
>>25471948
This.

What do you prefer we call them?
People boxes, wheeled?
People boxes, tracked?
Big grey floaty things, shallow water?
How operator are the ANGLICO units? From what I've read they seem mid-tier.
