*Flash!* IJN Yamato just appeared in New York Harbor and those squinty eyed gooks start firing with everything they got...
Is there enough time and munitions to lay waste and collapse most of the large buildings in the south part of Manhattan?
>>29872596
No.
It's about to be/is fleet week.
Goodbye Yamato!
Weak ass harpoons won't even penetrate it's armor lol.
>>29872596
>Yamato
pic unrelated?
>>29872629
Yes, I didn't have a picture of the Yamato and I wanted to give the picture as a scale of distance.
>>29872628
pgm down the smoke stack
>>29872596
But that is the USS Iowa BB61...
>*Flash!* IJN Yamato just appeared on the bottom of New York Harbor
*ftfy
>>29872596
Probably, yeah. It'd take probably an hour minimum until an effective defense could be mounted. And by effective I mean fighters dropping bombs on it.
>>29876968
there are definitely multiroles ready to scramble, issue is they are loaded for intercept
how long you think to load a PGM on it?
>Yamato appears in New York Harbour
>beaches itself and sailors try to fight on land
>>29872596
Hopefully.
Then maybe New York legalizes gun ownership and follows the second amendment in the aftermath.
>1941
>still thinking "enemies foreign and domestic" limits Americans to only owning small artillery
>>29877439
I've always wondered if they ship it to you or if you have to go to the place to buy it. Back then at least.
>>29877439
Is it even possible to find a PTRS for sale these days?
>>29877439
>you will never sell lahtis, Taiwanese mortars and historic gun lamps with a shit eating grin while smoking a cigar
why even live?
>ziggurat
Why was this allowed? Goddamn Sumers coming to our country and indoctrinating our children.
>>29877449
I'm guessing they just shipped it to your house. I don't know when 4473's started but I doubt anything more was used to vett buyers out of a catalog.
>>29877451
I highly doubt you can find a legitimate PTRS for sale anywhere that any of /k/ can afford. If you want one really bad go to Crimea and pick one up off dead guys.
>>29877476
>Guessing they just shipped it to your house
I'm just imagining it in a 50s sitcom way where the mailman pull up with a smile and tells the family that their artillery piece came in the mail.
>>29872596
>Yamato against New York
Everyone wins.
>>29877414
>Unarmed citizens
>not that great PD
>dont give a fuck about civilians so bronx no problem either
I cant see that going wrong.
They'd be able to fuck up a lot of stuff, but New York is a big fucking city.
Plus, it wouldn't even carry enough ammunition to do the job
>>29872613
This
Fleet Week means that the harbor is crawling with warships. The Yamato will be sent to the bottom faster than you can say "banzai!"
>>29877491
I'm imagining a world where getting artillery shipped to your house doesn't require a signature or having to click which shipping option you want.
>call catalog and order artillery piece
>"just get it here when you can, I don't need it this week"
>>29877502
>implying the drunk american sailors can get out of the brothels quick enough to man their ships.
Fleet Week would be a massacre. For the USN, that is. So many thin-skinned juicy targets anchored at the harbor.
>take a few pot shots at some buildings

Man, they know how to pitch a cannon.
You'd think that "Eh, 125 bucks was a shitload of money back then" but that fucking lamp is $47.95
>>29877439
As far as Artillery goes, that one is junk. It couldn't kill 1940 tanks.
>>29877439
>M1938 Mortar
>ad mentions sights for "sportsmanship purposes"
>"Has many practical uses"
Like what?
To create avalanches?
To go hunting with IDF support?
Clearing brush with willie-pete?
>>29877931
Creative deer hunting
>>29877918
>25mm cannon
>couldn't kill tanks
OH REALLY???
>>29877931
>To create avalanches?
some places have used mortars to knock down snow packs that could have been potential avalanches
>>29877931
Seems people have always know you can't advertise with
"it's really friggin' neat, think how cool it would be to have one of these"

I guess you tried for le epin greentext, but you kinda tried too hard.
>>29872596
I imagine someone at an airbase within a couple hundred miles would get a heads-up in a hurry and the ship would be JDAM'd within a half hour.
>>29877939
Yes. It couldn't penetrate the armor of German tanks, but it could kill other armored vehicles.
>>29877944
Yeah, you're right.
Italian Americans will frogman that shit double time.
>>29877918
>>29877939
Actually it did and was quite disliked by German tankers due to being very discreet when firing.
However it quite often needed several shots to disable a tank due to a lack of HE filler.
Pic related, a Panzer 35 of the 6.Panzer-Division destroyed at Epinal (June 19, 1940) by a 25mm of the 46e GRDI. After 3 shots the tank started burning with the ammunitions exploding few minutes later. One German tanker killed, the others three were heavily wounded and captured.
>>29877520
The question is then how well equipped is the Yamato to exploit this temporary weakness.
>>29877966
/k/ has almost always been full of this shit, but I see it more and more now
>>29872596
Reminder that this is New York, there will be rallies to protect the Japanese from American barrel bombs that target innocent Japanese on the ship.
>>29878012
Lotta secondary guns, and the heavy AAA would rekt the anchored US ships.
25mm AAA would make short work of small stuffs and burgerfats running around the decks.
>>29872596
>Yamato materializes in New York Harbor circa 2016
>to the awe of the Nips, they see all the modern buildings

I don't think the first thing going through their minds in such a scenario would be to lay waste to 21st century New York City. I think seeing a 1776 foot tall glass building would be enough to mindfuck them, if the helicopters and massive commercial airliners cruising above don't already do it.
>>29878434
not to mention if it was fleet week all the Murican ships hanging out might make then think maybe i should just chill since they're not opening fire on me
