Resource on what these spec terminology mean

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.
Some reputable retailers:

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

"Operational information as of 18.00 28.11.2022 on the Russian invasion...
Near the settlement of Starobogdanivka of Zaporizhzhia region, the Defense Forces damaged a railway bridge, which the occupants used to deliver weapons and military equipment."
Buried on the last line of that post is something interesting
Other than the definitely fully functioning railway coming in from the south this is the last railway by which crimea can get supplies from russia.

90% of the targets hit are visibly barely affected. Also russia has ran out of them, videos of it are coming out less and less frequent
So for a background, these knights are the descendents of a national guard unit stationed at an arsenal full of old cold war surplus. The happening occurs, society collapses, and the national guards brought their friends and families out to live on the base with them. Over time they develop into a self sufficient agrarian community. The soldiers, being the only ones capable of defending the community from raiders and bandits, developed into a martial ruling class.
Its been over 200 years since the collapse and wider society has not returned, at least not to them. They have no ability to produce the chemicals needed for smokeless gunpowder and no ability to produce large complex machines. They do, however; possess a large stockpile of equipment and many skilled mechanics to maintain what they do have. They also possess the a machine shop which can make small metal parts, have the ability to produce black powder, and can produce ethanol to fuel their vehicles.
Their main threat is organized gangs of bandits and neighboring nations of less civilized people (think like the war boys from mad max).
What kind of weapons and doctrine would they use? What modifications might they make to their vehicles? Anything else I should consider?
It's been 270 days or nine months since the first Russian soldiers entered Ukraine. Babies that were conceived on the first night of the invasion are being born now. Pic is one of the first "war babies" who was born in a bomb shelter in Kiev because the Russian Air Force was launching airstrikes on the hospitals.
What are your thoughts on all this generally-speaking? Are you excited by all the slick combat footage? Outraged by Russian aggression? Saddened by the fact this is happening at all? Fearful of what the future might hold?

an armoured vest would be perfect for him as it alleviates any worries I have about him getting injured in catfights
It has to be lightweight, durable, and not snag on things such as vegetation.
Does anyone have experience or material recommendations?
My working hypothesis is that, for a civvie CCW, the probability of needing more than 5-6rds to survive a DGU is lower than the probability your autoloader will jam. This means all those "I need 15+rounds because I may encounter the lowest of the low probability encounters" are fucking delusional about what the cost of that capacity could realistically be(gun jams when you need it most).

The Sharpest General On /k/
Well guess whose gun works flawlessly with pistol primers now, nigs
The death of 23-year-old Nyirend Lemekani became known in mid-November. Then the Zambian Foreign Ministry demanded that the Russian authorities provide information about the circumstances under which a Zambian citizen who was serving a prison term in Moscow for drugs could be recruited into *** in Ukraine and then died.
Today, the press service of Yevgeny Prigozhin provided such information. Here is his answer:
Yes, I remember this guy well. I talked to him in the Tver region and asked him a question: “Why do you need this war? In a couple of years you will be able to leave ahead of schedule, soon you will be at home and see your relatives. What are you going for? After all, the chance of dying is quite high. Remember this". And he answered what I expected. He said: “You Russians helped us Africans gain independence for many years. When it was difficult for us, you extended your hand to us and continue to do so now. PMC "Wagner" saves thousands of Africans, and if I go to war with you, this is probably less than I can pay our debts. And if I stay alive, I will learn to fight for my homeland. And one more thing, it's a great honor for me, I know about Wagner only by hearsay, but I can become one of you. Nyirenda Lemekani Nathan on September 22 was one of the first to break into the enemy trenches, showing courage and courage. And he died a hero.

Main use will be plinking plate rack, with a secondary use for innawoods carry. Maybe even hunting small game with round balls, who knows.
I am planning on hand loading it so cost/availability of ammo is not a concern.

Why haven't some arabic and african shitholes switch to 5.45 or 5.56 in last 50 years? Why are Russians still making and using 7.62x39 guns? Why haven't it became a niche object of worship along with other obsolete stuff like 7.92x33 kurz or .45 acp?
