if you practice a physically demanding sport (mma/boxing/football) at a competitive level how difficult will you find it to be from a physical standpoint?
The vampire is vulnerable to typical folklore things such as holy water, garlic, silver, and wooden stakes through the heart, but it is also supernaturally fast, strong, and cunning. Additionally, sunlight will only irritate it rather than instantly burn it, and it can heal from most injuries other than being staked in the heart or exorcised, given enough time. If it finds other people while hunting you, it will drink blood from them and gain buffs to its speed and strength.
When the hour has passed, the vampire will appear at the foot of your bed (or wherever you last slept) and immediately begin hunting you. How would you fare?

In 2004 the danish army adopted the HBAR variant of the C7 as the M/04 LSV "let støtte våben".
It was disliked, because there wasn't really anything the LSV could do that the C7 couldn't do, and got the nickname "lorte spasser våben". It was later replaced by the M60E6.
But I still see other countries using simular systems or concepts, like the soviet RPK-74 or the american M27 IAR.
Are the danes just retarded? Or is it better to use large caliber belt fed LMGs as Infantry support weapons

Oddly found it in a box of random rounds that AFAIK a guy bought at auction. He had a box of loose rounds that I assume came from ammo collectors (those who collect oddball calibers or interesting loads). One week I come by and see he has some random stuff out with pretty fair prices. IIRC I didn't pay more than $5 at most and struggle to find so much as another picture of one. One or two small pics used to come up years ago but seem to have been pushed down the image results page. I have some oddball calibers I hadn't previously heard of in storage somewhere that came from the same guy. IIRC someone lucky pulled a really impressive looking shiny 408 Cheytac when I was hanging around which I suspect came from the same guy.

Old thread here >>62066585
Since medieval castles were built mainly as fortifications, staircases were designed to make it extremely difficult for enemy combatants to fight their way up.
Since most soldiers were right-handed, they would need to round each curve of the inner wall before attempting to strike, inevitably exposing themselves in the process. The clockwise spiral staircase also allowed the defenders to use the inner wall as a partial shield and easily allow them to swing their weapon without being hindered by the curvature of the outer wall.
The stairs were also intentionally poorly lit and built to be uneven, making it even more difficult for the attackers to gain any sort of balance or momentum during their fight up to capture the castle.

So much for the great Antwerp copefensive. Maybe the Krauts should consider withdrawing to the Westwall before their troops lose any remaining combat value instead of sending 17 year old RAD kids into the grinder. But that's just a suggestion.

>The U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) “detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC [People’s Republic of China] H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on July 24, 2024,” according to an official press release. “NORAD fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the intercept.”
>“The Russian and PRC aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace,” NORAD added in its release. “This Russian and PRC activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence.”
>“Fortunately, we haven’t seen Chinese aircraft operate near our air defense identification zones yet, but I think that that’s coming as early as this year,” U.S. Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot, currently head of NORAD and U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM), told members of the House Armed Services Committee at a hearing back in February. “That shows an overall concern I have about the growing capability of China not only with aircraft, but also with ships and even submarines being able to range further from China and closer to our shores.”

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise
EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts
Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights
Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is
LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart
If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game
The numbers to meet or beat are
EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci
Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome
SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci
Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar
Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci

Is there anything chinese or russian military could do actually stop them? And in turn, even with all their op capabilities would two superfighters be enough to meaningfuly influence a full scale war between NATO and china or russia - even assuming they can be restocked and repaired by the same vidya game logic used for their other feats?
What would be the best way to utilise them as force multiplier? What strategies could be devised used to counter them?

The lore is a little like this: there is a war between the west and Russia/China, and Russia/China win. Europe is divided into two halves - most of eastern Europe is controlled by regimes similar to Lukashenko, there are significant repressions. The game is set in eastern Europe.
It's kind of like Half-Life 2 in some ways. So what guns would work for a setting like this? The year is 2052 or something like that.

Bought a couple bottles of .177 copper bb gun pellets. Cut the tops off the two in the pic and swapped them out. Now I gotta find a way to cap the shells without any reloading tools.
A 9mm case fits snug in the wad, but that turns the birdshot into a slug. cutting disks of cardboard / plastic and gluing them on takes time, is messy and doesnt hold well. Heat shrink tubing is the next thing Im about to try, but taking a butane torch to hundreds of live shells seems too nigerlicious.
can anyone tell me if there is already a cheap & easy way to cap a shotgun shell?
