Its like how if you're in a blackout and you have the light switches turned on, then the lights come back on the electricity flowing through is strong enough to break the lights

Irrad Cleanser is visible iirc

a maser for example is a micro wave emitter

At that point, it is in between plasma and light.

also fun science history fact, "laser" is an acronym taken from the maser but they replaced the word microwave with light. it's the original aser

The mechanicus and mechanicum has a weird obsession with solid projectile weapons

Because why the fuck do they have that obsession

crystal forum

they love physics

Fair enough

imagine shooting a gun and knowing down to the millimeter where the bullet will land

that sounds fun as hell to me

Obsession with like solid projectile weapons is like a very ork thing

dapper gyro
#

The word* rifle originally doesn't mean portable firearms.

crystal forum
#

it used to be an actual definition

#

since automatic guns back then were either huge machines or basically just rifles that can also shoot automatic

rocky gale
crystal forum
#

that era of engineering predates standardized manufacturing by a long shot so it's not great to compare to modern terms

rocky gale
#

Yea, I'm not a fan of using modern standards to discuss the topic, but it's what they were using so I just turned it around.

#

Because using modern standards leads to making assumptions based off our understanding of modern items, that don't always relate to historical basis

winter vessel
#

still sends me to the freaking roof when I see people refer to the "AR"-15 as "Assault Rifle" for its acronym

#

typically from anti gun activists

crystal forum
crystal forum
winter vessel
#

I can understand the misconception. FN (Fabrique Nationale) and HK (Heckler & Koch) are much simpler to distinguish for me

crystal forum
#

the other AR designs are not nearly as famous as the AR-15 too

#

only other one being the AR-10 which is also an assault rifle

#

nvm battle rifle

#

keep forgetting that one

winter vessel
#

the barrel on that always looked weird to me. the early models that is

crystal forum
#

i'm more of a fan of early adoption M-16 aesthetics

#

that triangular handguard is peak

winter vessel
#

true. I was particular towards the handguard with the M203 attachment

crystal forum
#

oh hell yeah

dapper gyro
winter vessel
#

Like, its very distinguishable. I haven't seen any other weapon platform that shared its design, least afaik

crystal forum
#

they really had to make the new underbarrel grenade launcher lame as hell

#

also modular

dapper gyro
#

To me, there is nothing wrong with using modern terms to classify things because many of them start from the previous understanding.

crystal forum
dapper gyro
#

That said, I sometimes don't agree with some modern classification of stuff either.

crystal forum
#

like the scope you screw onto the carry handle

dapper gyro
#

Like how the battle rifle is a thing in the US English, but it is AR in many other languages.

winter vessel
#

interesting how back then they had to make rudimentary adjustments

#

but yeah, i just don't like the M320 GL module

dapper gyro
#

Or submachine gun, mitraillette and machine pistol.

crystal forum
#

battle rifles come from a complicated post WW2 formation of NATO and the hard decision of choosing a standard round

dapper gyro
#

Fun fact when the AR15 was introduced to the US army, there is a 5.56 AR15 submachine gun. This is way before the 9mm AR15 version.

crystal forum
#

the term at least

dapper gyro
#

Also, I never put AR and AR15 as the same acronym, AR15 is a pattern. I'm tired of people saying AR15 is civilian and M16 is the military. M16 is the designation of an AR15 pattern, you dipshit.

crystal forum
#

man is arguing with ghosts

winter vessel
#

one thing i didn't realize until 2018 is that the FN-SCAR had an assault rifle and Battle rifle variant, i just thought it was H.

crystal forum
#

it only gained fame when the cool spec ops people had them

#

M4 still wins in the end

winter vessel
crystal forum
#

i've seen it thrown around that the only reason the army wants the XM7 is because it shares the same round

#

i always thought it was about time that the army adopted a longer barrelled gun again since statistically most engagements for normal grunts is pretty long range. it's only special forces that benefit from carbine sizes because they fight often in close quarters

winter vessel
#

heard it also reduces magazine capacity to 20 rounds now. And its true, for the past 20 years or so, engagements have been long distance gunfighting. But in the likely scenario where firefights are held in Dense urban environments, to me it might be more "cumbersome"

arctic talon
#

The XM7 being heavier will lead to complaints from soldiers tbh

#

Because heavier kit is never fun

#

Also iirc the XM7 is a 30 round magazine

#

Wait nvm it’s 20

#

With a 25 round box

crystal forum
arctic talon
#

I’m sure the weapon is good

#

But having more weight to carry will always be complained about lol

crystal forum

i genuinely think that's a much bigger systemic issue with the army

crystal forum
#

this has been a thing studied about the 9mm vs 45acp for a loooong time

but the reasoning behind the new cartridge is to defeat body armour

Who the fuck has that much body armor

aka china, russia, etc

arctic talon

Yeah but we didn’t see that much body armor in Russia is the thing imo

At least with the Russia Ukraine conflict

I’m sure the gun isn’t bad

It just arguably feels excessive

Then again over preparation

they just set the requirements and get told the marketing pitch by the gun company

# crystal forum wdym they had the m1919

Yeah was referring to being an LMG.

The M1919 was used as that though. You are right. It was good at it's role, still is today.

But it was also very fucking heavy.

I think a couple jury-rigged the M1919 into an actual LMG though.

I think it was generally called the "Stinger"

is there like a pneumatic tube system

No, it's no russian tank

so the loader opens a hatch and chucks it out

shadow plover
#

Pretty much, but there's plenty of space to have them about

#

Or just push them back into the racks if you're getting cramped

crystal forum
#

i thought that was still how they did it, putting spent shells in their respective slots then switching them out from the main magazine when the fast access one is empty

shadow plover
#

The hull racks are only accessible when the turret is at 2 o'clock so you probably don't want to go through the trouble of filling those with spent ones

i guess tanks really arent designed for continuous firing like they used to be

I don’t think she had anything super weird

Or maybe it was the Sister SUperior actually

arctic talon

Let me check her wargear list

She lost combi weapons

And the eviscerator

But the loadout of battle sisters and stuff has always been pretty basic

Flamers, meltas, bolters,and their heavy versions

rocky gale

Lemmie see

arctic talon

But lore wise they should have access to Thammers tbh

storm jungle

Holy based

rocky gale

From 8th to 10th the Canoness lost Combi flamer/melta/plasma, Condemnor Boltgun, Storm Bolter, Eviscerator, Power axe and power maul

only if you dont drive it

arctic talon

She has it in 10e

rocky gale

Oh wait yea nevermind

gray umbra

it will eat through your fuel lines instead

arctic talon

I know this because I had one shoot Draxus with it

rocky gale
#

and sister superiors lost Storm Bolters

arctic talon
#

Also the loss of power weapon variants is whatever imo

#

Unified power weapon profile better

rocky gale
#

Probably to stop you from running 3 Storm Bolters in a squad

arctic talon

But yeah loss of eviscerator and storm bolter is unfortunate

#

Jump cannoness has it still

Well

She’s new I guess
