The NS Infantry Discussion Thread MkII*

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

You do have to consider that the tribe the Kukri originated from, who had no guns, we're able to impress the British army with the weapon and their combat skills in fighting against the british

That point amounts to literally nothing.

@nirvash, sawblade serrations aren't good for that, with rope cutting the more scalloped the serrations the better sawtooth is bad while somewhat wide Scalloped serrations are excellent.

What kind of serrations are you talking about?

[Zachganistan]

Would a knife such as this

work for urban combat and the like?

He's saying that actual sawblades suck for cutting rope, and he's right. Scalloped serrations are better for cutting rope because of the increased surface area and smoother pull-push motion.

This knife talk reminds me when some Zeinbradian officers where given a two-handed sword.

And even though it was ceremonial some used it as a last-ditch weapon.

Yep.

[Tule]

non serrated blades make terrible saws. and sawblade serrations only muck up a perfectly good knife if used on the main blade.

Makes sense for survival knives. Wouldn't it hinder the speed of which a soldier could pull the knife out of a body, though? That kind of close combat requires quick responses.

Depends on the serrations.



The OKC-3S bayonet used by the USMC has a less "sticky" serration design for instance.

Yes. Makes me want to throw up though.

Please stop.

Kind of like Imperial Japan's officers. Those were wicked when they used the swords in combat. Have you seem Windtalkers?

The Marine Force Recon hing is really tacky, but tanto knives are pretty good in combat. Also good at hacking through rope and bindings.

Nope, I was just six and naive.

Stopping right here.

To move the conversation from knives, I would like to discuss the practicality of having a CQB section for infantry. I have my infantry seperated into four different classes: Anti-material (.50 cal guns), heavy infantry (battle rifles), infantry (assault rifles), and CQB (Carbines and shotguns). Is this a decent set up?

[Bulgaria-Serbia]

Any hoo, would I be good using the mk2 as my standard grenade?

So wicked, that they made excellent souvenirs for GI's passing through.

M 67 is better, due C4 as the explosive.
Edited: it's CB as filler.

But mk2 is cheaper

Sure, if you live in a first person shooter.

Both will kill you equally the same.

^ This.

How did I miss that one...

[Zachganistan]

True, but it's cheaper in quality as well. It's heavier, the fuse doesn't always work, the fuse is loud, and it's freaking old. If you are that strapped for cash, only have a grenadier hold explosives.

My set up is recon in front, riflemen and MGs in Middle and Support and reserves in back

Sarcasm aside, what's wrong with the set up?

My soldiers are seperated by platoon, but they work together in the field. AM troops work with Heavies to take over an enemy position, and the normal infantry cover them and support. CQB takes on apartments and house-by house clearing.

Let's go through the (however many steps there will be this time) unit building process.

Question 1, what is your nation's environment like?
