/k/. How long and how advanced will the U.S. Navy , Army, Air force, Marines be until it will reach into space with war ships, SF and other equipment?
>>22946874
Until the unit cost per pound of putting things in space decreases 500 fold.
Probably a hundred years or so

You think the United States as a country, let alone countries as a concept will last that long?
Sup /k/
I was considering having a sword custom forged to my specifications, not some shitty off the rack Cold Steel monstrosity.

I was most interested in a High Medieval Hand- and- a- Half sword or perhaps a broadsword.
Anyone have experience with swordsmiths/blacksmiths?
Or is it all just weaboo crap nowadays?
Peter Regenyei made me a pretty decent longsword. Some anachronostic features with the blade though, I should have specified a bit better what I wanted I guess, he can certainly make them without such.
Otherwise, well, there's a lot of smiths out there who appear to know what they're doing when it comes to swords. What exactly do you have in mind?
unless its solely as a collection wall-hanging piece, my general advice is, never buy a custom sword, until you've been collecting commercially available stuff for a little while.
why?
simply because you will regret it in the long run. "I should've got a scent-stopper, not a wheel pommel", "I'd have preferred a longer grip" things like that. little details that you only really learn about from swinging a sword or three around a bit. That's even more relevant if you're wanting to learn it as a martial art. Using a blunt...

It's pretty universally unanimous that Halo is /k/ as fuck(for a sci fi game)
ODSTs are fucking gods mayne.

I read the books growing up.
ODST's were some of the coolest shit.
Fuck spartans.
The magnum is is basically an S&W500 in space. Explains why it can shoot down Banshees.
So, I love guns and all, but i'm feeling a more historic side of me comin up. So, I'm curious what is everyone's favorite historical armor. Looks wise I would say that I rather liket he look of maille under a tunic with a great helm, typical of what you would see in any movie with templars. But practically, I would much prefer the armor of the high Gothic period. Weapons wise, I like polearms such as billhooks, halberds, and spears. The Ahlspiess also seems interesting to me.
Gothic armour is also my favorite, but Second would be the coat pf plate and bascinet
behold! the oldest weapon in all mankind's history, tremble in its wake, fear its power, and beg for mercy before your life ends!
Why can't /k/ into medieval stuff? Medieval threads only get like 7 posts before dying.
Nightly F-35 shitstorm
Daily reminder that it's going to be the dominant air platform into the 2030's
>>22881508
>dominant western/NATO air platform
The more smarter countries that aren't tied to the US can always buy any recent version of the Su-30/35, MiG-29, Gripen, Rafale or J-10, JF-17 if they are dirt poor.
>>22881802
>more smarter countries
Anyway, all of those platforms are pretty much inferior.
>>22881802
>buy inferior shit for no reason other than you're a poorfag
This whole F-35 shitstorm has been said about the F-4, the F-111, the F-16 etc.
Lets see your battle/k/ats.

i trust you've read pic related.
I'm looking for an axe or hatchet that can be used as a weapon but can also chop wood. Something viking looking. I got kicked out of my local camping store for asking this. Anyone know anything good?
>>22879428
What about this?
SOG Voodoo hawk.
You're asking for two different things that are basically two whole different types of axes. Battleaxes and felling axes are different in that a battleaxe would suck at chopping wood, and a felling axe would suck in combat. Battleaxes have very thin heads and not a lot of weight, while felling axes have thick heads and lots of weight.
>>22879428
something like this?

you realize the reason vikings used axes was not because they were a superior combat weapon but because they were a useful multipurpose tool
