Grey, green, black, blue, fisch. . . any colour you like really.

Standard chambering is a 7x33mm cartridge, although it is also available in 7,92x33mm, 7,92x30mm Subsonic, and a plethora of other cartridges.

No.

No lapsed Muslims? Like the sort of 'I only drink alcohol when it's a special occasion - like the end of the week' style that is common in Britain?

Seems like you might want them also as spiritual leaders in the civilian population, and you don't want them all being killed off by the inherently superior non-theocratic Western banderist-pederast militaries.

Helmets!

The top are Marine and Soldier Helmets (And the last two are Planetary Guard helmets, which were the previous Marine helmets.) Non e of the accessories are restricted to a specific helmet here, but its unlikely every soldier with have a ton of stuff on them.

The bottom has special helmets for special soldiers.

The first is the helmet for a UNSC Commando, its much more durable than the standard.

The second helmet belongs to the Ghost, a specific spec ops unit usually under command of the Office of Naval intelligence.

Third is the Ranger helmet, used for Ranger units, usually come in to support ODST's at times, or act as operatives in light assaults.

Fourth belongs to a Juggernaut, a long running "Super soldier" they mostly act as infantry support, their armor allowing them to take a beating in combat and last longer than regular Marines, they are a bit slower and act as bigger targets (As seen, the Turians didn't really like Juggs, they would call in orbital strikes because they were being assholes and made eliminating small squads of infantry difficult, good thing that was when they had small shields that pop out of their wrist...now they have Citadel tech to create a shield.)

The one after that is just something used by ONI agents under Section 4.C

And the final one belongs to the biggest SOB's in the UNSC.

ODST's, feet first into hell, they really gave the Hierarchy a bloody nose, very valuable assets, very lethal soldiers.

They have the best helmet, an advanced HUD, can have integrated accessories or just use the normal ones, a bullet proof visor (Obviously won't take sustained fire) and is the only other helmet behind the Juggs that can regulate temperature. It is vacuum sealed, features a state of the art (And formally experimental) motion tracker that does not require a satellite, internal radio and a filter for when in toxic environments.

I wuv ODST's...

What would be a realistic size for an jihadist army with an area controlling southern Chechnya?


The population of Chechnya is 1,200,000.

In 1999, the combined forces fighting against the Federal Army were estimated to be approximately 22,000 strong - about 2% of the population of Chechnya.

You are not likely to raise much more.

Pre or post Russian military assault?

At the peak, highest estimates stated that Chechens had around 38,000 fighters, mostly irregulars. Actual "regulars" numbered one in three to one in five of that. The total number of foghters is hard to estimate becsuse of irregulars.

Post Russian military assault it would be, likely, less thsn 8,000, assuming that the assault was similar to thst in 2CW.

Here's how far I took down my AK-103 clone using only the cleaning kit located in the stock of the rifle. The only parts I didn't tear down that I could have would be the gas tube tension spring (couldn't get it to come off for the life of me: it's like-new, so it probably just needs broke in a bit more). the bolt's extractor since I don't like messing with those unless absolutely necessary, and the rear sight for the same reason.

Does anyone know the exact formulas used for this calculator? http://www.geoffrey-kolbe.com/drag.htm
I want to know if I can find them so that I can play around with complex numbers and see what I get.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.
