Here is a little story in my airsofting when I was just starting out.
So, here goes one of my stories of "the general". Start of the round, on the base side (greenbase), and I am up with a 40+ year old man armed with an m240 SAW, his 20 something son, who must refer to his dad as "general" and nothing else, and Matt. the general is dressed as a milsim gawd, and so is his son. We are playing field, and they have full gear on (hydros, camo bdus for desert, assault kits, extra rifles, etc.). We play base side, and I hand everyone my radios. Matt cant work it right, because he accidentally switched the channel, then blames it on the "shit radio", and the general is a team leader, and generally when we select teams, we set rules. for this one, we had to do full auto, because "the general" says he can only do full auto. I asked if we can go into the woods, he says "No, the woods are way to nasty, he says with his wrinkled face and combat glasses, and he just camps the base the entire way through. I help him out, and watch the left flank (it was only a flank, since we couldn't go into the deep woods on the left, only the small one on the left), and he wastes a shit ton of ammo (high quality .25 btw) on one dude, who is taking potshots at him from behind some plywood held between two trees. I observe the right flank, find it clear, and start helping out the general. Plywood man starts shooting at both of us, and gets me once. I respawn, then I sneeki cheeki breeki flank him and fire him on full auto, just because he was being kind of a dick with his camping.

I get him, move back near his spawn, see a guy standing there, and I ask if he was hit. He kind of shrugs and has his rifle down. I turn around and move back to green base, and he shoots me in the back of the head. (I wasn't too happy, and I didn't say anything to him directly about it, and I found out later, that he called me annoying behind my back, only to have my friends stick up for me.) So I go back to the base, and watch the general at work. He has guys coming from the right woods, and I am sitting on the steps of the fort, but still not in the line of fire of enemies. So here the general goes, and He is getting flanked, and he is about to be fired on by two guys, one dmr, one rifleman. He full auto blasts them to shit, : and while he is doing it, he is taking bbs straight to the glasses. I can see them, he can sure as hell see them. Hell, I can even HEAR them dinking off. He calls no hits. He watches the front of the fort, and fucking refuses to turn around. He is the only one alive, and he completely ignores the people flanking him, even though they are making plenty of noise.
I was laughing my ass off when he got blasted by the dmr's full auto at point blank.
MFW he got shot 7 times before calling his hit
And that is one of the many stories of " the general".
Wrong board. Even though I bet 60% of /k/ airsofts the fucking minority is 40+ year old dudes who are extremely vocaly bitchy. /asp/ is what you're looking for

So I was looking up stuff about the B-21 bomber and I found myself agreeing with the design and purpose of the machine. An updated B-2 with better range, payload and avionics ordered in large numbers would be great for the US Air Force bomber fleet. The B-21 is meant to replace all the planes in the bomber fleet, not just the B-2. However, I really think the Air Force is missing out on a capability by not designing a heavy, supersonic bomber that directly replaces the B-1 and the B-52.
I think the B-21 should still be ordered and built as planned; performing the deep penetration, SEAD and interdiction, etc, missions a stealth bomber should do. But I think there are certain roles that the B-21 would be weak for and I think it foolhardy to leave that hole open.
The idea I propose is essentially a super-sized F-22 (much like how the B-1 is a lot like a giant F-111), or rather, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer with wings. A stealth, nuclear-weapon capable heavy bomber capable of Mach 2+ flight. Design elements include planform alignment design, tailless if design permits, S-duct air intakes, robust stealth coatings, trapezoidal wings, lifting body, and quad F-119 or F-135 engines (the engines used by the F-22 and F-35 & B-21 respectively)
Capabilities include supercruise (accelerate to Mach 1+ without afterburner), relatively easy to maintain stealth, large bomb capacity while having a shorter wingspan than any current bomber, and advanced targeting avionics to guide those weapons.
It's main mission is to deliver large numbers of guided, heavy ordinance from long range. Its speed allows the aircraft to quickly enter a battle space, build speed to allow for "throwing" of launched ordinance to increase their speed and POK, and then quickly exit the battle space.
>>30173853
>Cont.
There are three major future missions that a bomber platform like this would be most suited for that a B-21 might not be best when it debuts and the older platforms begin to retire:
>Saturation attack on enemy surface navies
- Future potential adversaries have weaker naval air forces and are pivoted towards using surface vessels or submarines to strike carrier battle groups before they can launch missiles or aircraft to combat them.
- US doctrine is to combat these enemy vessels with saturation missile strikes, but even the massive combined ordinance of a CBG may not be enough to break through the equally massive enemy air defenses.
- A quick response from a large bomber to launch stand-off missiles can put the tide of the battle in the US Navy's favor, either by attacking enemy vessels from additional axis or absorbing enough enemy countermeasures for Naval anti-ship weapons to get through.
- The B-21 can possibly fill this role as well, but a supersonic bomber can respond to the conditions of the battle much quicker, launch weapons that will get to their targets faster, and then GTFO when weapons are depleted.
>Saturation attack on enemy air forces
- Future potential adversaries may finally be able to produce stealth aircraft in large numbers or attempt to counter US stealth air forces with large squadrons of conventional fighters.
- Inventory of US stealth fighters is expected to be limited even with mass production of F-35s. Even with full payloads of air-to-air BVR missiles, significant risk is placed on the fighters and limits what missions the fighters can do after they get past enemy fighter screens.
>>30173872
>Cont.
- This role is that of the proposed B-1R, but that project appears to have died. This bomber built to replace the B-1 can conduct this mission in a more capable package.
- Bomber loaded with long range air-to-air missiles enters battle space and saturates enemy fighters with weapons. Onboard avionics lock on to hundreds of targets and engages all at once, or launches in the general direction of the fleet and bomber flees which tactical fighters use data links to guide 80,000+ pounds of missiles to their targets.
>Deliver heavy air-to-air or air-to-space payloads at targets at high altitudes or low Earth orbits.
- Future potential adversaries will invest in satellites for their own uses. Bomber can have persistent presence at high attitudes to engage multiple targets or make multiple attacks if necessary.
- B-21 is not expected to be designed to fly over 50,000 feet nor required to launch air-to-air weapons. Tactical fighters can operate at high attitudes and perform anti-sat mission but with more limited armament and fuel. Companion supersonic bomber can deliver heavy ordinance at higher altitudes.
- Bomber can also be used to shoot down large, fast targets such as ICBMs, space debris, or even alien space craft during entry into atmosphere.
I wanted to know what /k/ thought about any of this. Speed is life in the Air Force and I really think the supersonic bomber/missile truck mission has a place even in a future full of hypersonic missiles and stealth fighters. A previous thread on a future naval battle simulated on CMANO really opened my eyes to the fact that future war needs MOAR guided missiles, and the US Air Force is falling short. I can’t see the B-21 contributing to that kind of battle without putting it in unnecessary risk.
>InB4 Listerine, glider-fag or any other fag
I’m not those guys nor am I dead set on this idea. I just wanna know what I’m missing or if there is something being planned that offsets this problem.
>>30173886
>InB4 Future Bomber 2037 Project.
I dunno too much about that project, and it could very well be the kind of plane I’m outlining here. But if that were the case, a supersonic stealth heavy bomber sounds like an easier and more desperately needed project than the B-21, so why is the B-21 coming first?

I have come here to consult you basement dwellers on this idea of mine.
What if one took a small/medium container ship, mounted a hidden cannon or three on it, and used it to pirate by stealing containers full of iphones and shit like that off of bigger container ships on the open ocean?
>>30173824
Then they're probably going to do the first field tests of the railguns on you
>>30173824
You gonna use your magical metal bending to get those containers from one ship to another Magneto? Do you see a fuckhueg crane anywhere in the middle of the ocean? Gonna re-paint the ship and hope that that is enough to deter the US Navy from chasing you?
Summer everybody.
>>30173824
Even if you did get a ship with a crane mounted on it for this to work, and a large enough crew to have a large enough boarding party to basically operate the entire other ship so that it stays still for your container-switching, you'd still have tons of trouble with port authorities when you'd go to unload because shipping containers are tracked and inspected.
Do you guys think the .22 pistol is good for breathing/technique/target practice? I noticed when I haven't shot in a while, my technique gets really bad. Then I spend like 50 bucks on ammo to get to where I was. I was thinking of picking up a 22 pistol to warm up with at the range.
Yes definitely, I shoot my Buckmark all the time for fundamental practice. Furthermore I learned even more shooting my walmart co2 pistol. That's how I learned to shoot with both eyes open.
I have a really bad habit flinching if I haven't been shooting in a while. And I will spend 50 bucks on ammo just to get relaxed again. So I think I will go ahead and get a good 22 pistol. Any suggestions?
This is what I am probably going to buy. The Browning Buck in green. Good price for me.

Guy I know bought one, had striker problems or something right out of the box.
>>30173633
i find that extremely hard to believe. sounds like user error, its an iso 9000 factory made weapon, the striker is solid as fuck.

Just stripped the wood stock on my 583 series mini14 down to bare wood. I'm wanting suggestions on what color to refinish it. It's the blued model btw. Pic related is original color more or less.

>>30173536
Right, ok. Because after all this thread was about which rifle was better.
Is there anything like brass knuckles [something you can put in your fist to make blows more effective and safer] that isn't brass knuckles? the main alternative, plastic knuckles, is also banned in many jurisdictions.
I don't want to carry something that will get me arrested if i get shaken down. i couldnt think of any normal household items.
blamp
I've heard carabiners work but I'd bet most cops would know what you're really carrying them for if they shook you down.
>>30173579
i saw those suggested somewhere, but someone else said they'd fuck up your hands. never tried them so not really sure.
i think all these weapon-carrying laws are horseshit. they dont want you to shoot someone defending yourself, but they dont want you carrying anything else either. i guess pepper spray is pretty much the only thing thats mostly legal everywhere.
