The Walther CCP is literally "Gas-operated". "The Walther CCP is operated by a gas-delayed blowback system, using gas pressure from the ignited cartridge by directing it through a small port in the barrel in front of the chamber to slow down and delay the rearward motion of the slide...

Rockets/rpgs tend to do the job better especially when you use incendiary or thermostatic warheads. It also requires quite a bit of technical know how to make a reasonably effective one. You need to make decent pressure vessels and have some way of producing the required pressure. Basically for mil...

Other than moral weakness is there any reason why modern armies no longer use flamethrowers? They sound like the perfect weapon to use in situations such as urban combat, COIN or just generally against dug in enemies. And sure, they are dangerous as hell to the user but so is everything else on the...

What is the best aircraft engine for reaching speeds of ~Mach 3? Also, are there noticable effects on stealth from using a turbojet engine (i.e. on a fighter aircraft)? Am I right in believing that electronic countermeasures fulfill the role of chaff for aircraft countermeasures? And what do you gu...

If a primaris does actually ever go chaos i can just imagine a bunch of firstborn marines running into Cawls officer and laughing like maniacs pointing at him. I recall a novella has the story of some Primaries who have gone renegade in one of the torchbearer fleets because their parent chapter was...

Does it make sense to pay armoured “cavalry” troopers more than infantrymen? If this is done in an armed forces it generally comes via means of a "free" bump in service year so that the troops move up a band in thier pay grade. Generally you tend to have to achieve a specific training mil...

That has to be one of the single most annoying things about the IG squad box. Most other squad boxes seem to come with all the special weapons options but no the gaurd get flamer or GL. Well the box hasnt been changed in like what... near 20 years? Wish they would give the guard a new updated line ...

Depends. I doubt it. Your opponent's units have to be really meek for Lasguns to pose any kind of threat of them. Consider: The weapon and unit stats are largely identical to those from the main game. Unlike in 40k, you won't have 30+ guys backed up by orders shooting their flashlights at the same ...

Has any real-life nation ever relied on mercenaries for it's airforce? As well as the various African countries mentioned the gulf states (Saudi Arabia, oman etc) were pretty much all foreign crewed (iirc at one point the entire Omani airforce was made up of RAF pilots on "holiday") in th...

Could a tank be disguised as a car? difficulty recruiting Are you saying people in Britain are stupid? How many cars do you know of that are 8-9m long,3-4m wide and 2.5 m tall? Even in ww2 if you wanted to disguise tanks you made them look like trucks/lorrys. No he likely isn't. Intelligence work t...

You just build them out of the command squad box, there are several officer options in it be it with or without the greatcoat.

that's a very overpriced GI Joe So the Cadians get action figures to play with on the ruins of their dead world but the poor Maccabians, Tallarn, Praetorians, Vostroyans, Valhallans, Steel Legion, et cetera get left out to dry once more? *sad niche Guard regiment noises* There are hints that's it a...

Commandos implies actual military forces rather than spies/intelligence officers or agents and if you are sending them in on a covert or clandestine operation, even a deep black denialable op then they will have very clearly defined objectives and rules of engagement.

Don't they already more or less have seeing as they are soldiers? I mean like James Bond rather than “normal” warfare scenarios?

A Queen of Sharifistan might want to do that.

Again I gave you two options, never said you had to do one or the other young child. You just might find yourself more limited if your a less than organized and wealthy state in terms of what you can do. If your reasonably wealthy and organized, the forceful removal policy is a useful one(Malayan E...

If they're shooting at you, they're the bad guys. Pretty much. Also intelligence and discrete observation. The exact methods will vary in every campaign. If the insurgents can be easily baited into coming out to play then you do that, if they are sloppy with thier coms then you use that and if they...

Actually i might go for the 122nd cadian scheme as it looks really nice. Specifically i might try and replicate this version of their scheme from the city fight codex cover: ( Image ) That tank should drive closer to the enemy, so that its commander can hit the enemy with his sword. Its a d...
