The Sig Saur rifle was approved because TRADOC needed a way to force soldiers to actually take just 210 rounds into combat. As opposed to stuffing every possible space on themselves with extra magazines like some kind of crazed ammo packrat.
Until we reintroduce the tactical wheelbarrow at any rate.
Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Boston dynamics already did.
Add some saddle bags and ratchet strap a large plastic container up top.
The wheelbarrow is better because it's private powered. As long as you have MREs to fuel the private you're good to go!
How many kilometers do you really think that's capable of walking? A mule is better tech.
Should have just adopted a rifle with a magazine cutoff. Then they could just issue people belly boxes for volley fire.
Is the bottom right the royal British army?
Yes
Thanks :)
Yes "Russian" body armor
It's about China. The U.S. military has not been shy about preparing to best be able to fight in the pacific. As for Chinese body armor, the mass issue might not be great but even if it's just some AR-500 style metal plates that would worry US planners enough to justify at least a partial adoption of spicy meatball rifles.
plate carriers stuffed with dinner plates. reactive armor filled with cardboard. classic lol
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
