Infantry Discussion Thread 6: True Korea Edition

I need some Ulfric(?) advice as to a proper handgun/obrez cartridge for dealing with some pesky vampires and daemons. Someone help me?

Describe said problem creatures.

9mm should do.

[Mick Swagger]

It's like you hate fun or something.

Put the fun in camps, why don't you?

[Aqizithiuda]

But what if they're Sparklepires?

[Crookfur]

9mm should do.

But what if they're Sparklepires?

Then you just declare out loud that you don't believe in vampires and that will cause them to have a teen angstgasm over their own existence and explode.

A quick look at the Twilight wiki (shudder) indicates that Twilight vampires are essentially immune to conventional small arms. Some sort of flamethrower or other incendiary weapon would be the way to go.

As a nation that doesn't follow international laws very well. Would incendiary rounds work? You're a brave soul. *Salutes

No. They have to be dismembered and burned whole for it to be really effective, although it seems like a good coat of napalm (or similar) would at least inconvenience them.

Thermite or similar might be useful as well if you could burn through enough of them to destroy ligaments or muscles. But standard bullets, apparently, will simply bounce off.

The best solution, it seems, is to simply nuke the site from orbit.

Hnng, the scope was a pain in the ass. Rather happy with the whole thing.

Looked up the AS50 and AW50, one is semi-automatic and the other is bolt action like the AW I drew.
Leaning towards the AW50.

[Purpelia]

One thing I'd do is maybe make the white markings less white. As in, do a light gray or something. Notice how the slightly smaller contrast looks easier on the eye.

very very nice.

You could look at the latest AX series rifles from AI but they are basically just the AW series with modular everything and all of the places to mount the rails.

Alright, I tried it and it does indeed look nicer.

Will do, hm AMR's are quite niche weapons and I do not think modularity etc is really worth it if I already have the other ones. I mean it is nice but I can survive without those features I think.
Good tip though.

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

I don't even know what Lanos even did and Im annoyed by this constant nagging on him or her.

If this doesn't calm down, Im going to remind the noobs about innawoods. Maybe then there will be actual infantry stuff here.

Question of the day, if you had a lot of AKs, SKSes, and PPSes; who would you assign them to in your armed forces?

First man gets a rifle, second man gets a magazine.

[Bezktovakia]

AK to regulars, SKS to reserves, PPS to anyone who doesn't need or can't use an AK.

This is why Germany lost the fucking war, you know.

[Imperializt Russia]

Service status 0.

The M240 and M249 are Belgian, the M27 is German, the M2 was finished after Browning's death by the Belgians...
This is like the exact same argument you're inexplicably putting to us.

Well, tbf the M2 was designed by an American and put into production by Americans, and has been continuously produced by Americans since. As far as national origins go, the M2 is about as American as applie pie really, given the first making of the M2 were done by Winchester, Co.

You can thank Fred Moore for that.

Id also like to point out that FN has been an "American" company for some years in the same way H&K was "British" for those years. The M240s largest point of manufacture is the United States, the same for the M249/Minimi.

Oh and the M60 is still in use, so the US does still have its own domestically designed and produced machine guns.

Odd that.

The relationship between the US and FN isn't really the same as HK and BAE, it's more the opposite. BAE, at the time a British company (owned by the state?), bought out HK.

FN, a Belgian state firm, bought out Winchester and Browning. And then set up, at some point, FNH US, which is the company that produces the M2, M240 and M249.

A little late but....

Motion passes by unanimous vote and with my blessing. Seriously Spree, knock it the fuck off.

I'd like to file for an appeal.

I'm getting a vibe of "I don't know how German works" to explain why this is "retarded".

AW50 is the Arctic Warfare scaled up to the .50 cartridge, unsurprisingly.
AS50 is a semi-automatic .50 weapon of generic utility.

How are those any worse than United States Rifle, 7.62 mm, M14? It's just that the structure of the German language allows for stringing words into one. Personally I very much prefer using single ultralong words.

Because we don't say USR762M-14

And Germans did not say Sd.Kfz. 251. Those were ordnance designations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sd.Kfz. It was the stuff you write in procurement documents and such because it's easy to type. It's basically the same thing as GRAU designations or american M numbers. Codes you use to abbreviate filling out forms.

[Fordorsia]

The German soldiers said half-track, rifle, Tiger (or just tank). They wouldn't bother with the full designations just like the soldiers from any other nation.

Honestly I don't even think they would have done that too often. If you are serving in a tank unit that is composed of one type of tank you'd just call it a Tank. If you are getting your supplies via 20 different types of halt-track I imagine you'd just call them all a truck. Just like you'd call your rifle a rifle.

Well yes, but you fap so vigorously to everything Germany does your ancestors are chaffing.

It's just the way the language works. German and to an extent French both just sound, flow and in general work so much better than English.

Yeah that's what I mean, they would use broad terms for everything. Then again according to the oh so reliable wikis, Germans commonly referred to their half-tracks as Hanomags, the manufacturer being Hanomag.

Speaking of half-tracks, how viable would it be to keep using them in large numbers well after WWII and even today?

Actually fuck it, I forgot this is IDT

IRL, the first man gets a rifle with one stripper-clip, while the second one gets the same. Then they try not to use up their five rounds and cry.

USSR didn't have a weapon shortage in WW2, they had an ammo shortage.

Does anyone have any idea what camo these are?

No, I didn't get my camo from Russia, I swear.

I need some Ulfric(?) advice as to a proper handgun/obrez cartridge for dealing with some pesky vampires and daemons. Someone help me?

Describe said problem creatures.

As average as you can get; and conventional rounds seem to do nothing. I'm leaning to highly penetrating silver-tipped 10mm rifle rounds with small crosses scribed in their tips. Benefits/drawbacks of?
