I figured that this forum could use a thread like this, seeing as how this thread got so many people interested:
[URL]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1155743[/URL]
[B]What are some things which I can discuss about?
[/B]Anything you want, so long as its military related. Here are some examples:
Military technology
The different types of technology used in modern and/or ancient military. How technology has transformed military through the years, with electronics, countermeasures, and etc. But of course, its not just technology alone helping armies to win, but the use of tactics as well.
Military tactics and strategies
The use of tactics to help combat the opposing team, and find a way to outmaneuver or flank them, using their weakness to their advantage. One notable ancient classic book, called the Art of War, by Sun Tze, has proved its usefulness, and is even used today.
Military history:
Discuss about conflicts/battles in history, and how it could had changed the outcome of a war, and the errors that generals made to cause their defeats.
[B]Things to follow
[/B]
No Tank A is better than Tank B arguments without any evidence or proof. Don't dig things out of your anus
No using of video games/movies/mainstream media to back your points, its just dumb. (Especially using Call of Duty to proof that the AA12 is the best because its a good gun in the game etc.)
Also please don't stick in your conspiracy bullshit here.
Don't confuse fact for your opinion.
Don't use gory pictures of dead terrorist/soldiers/civilians/people of any kind. Even if its military related.
All other forum rules apply.
Military in modern day
[/B]The modern day era of the military is thought to have started during the late 19th century to the 21st century. Starting with the common usage of cannons, gunpowder, steam ships as tools of war. It gradually evolved as time passes, slowly improving the accuracy and firepower of weapons, turning them more and more deadly. Weapons also became much faster and easier to operate, but still making them risky to other forms of countermeasures. Gone are the days where armies charged at each other with bayonets, and cavalry charges, now a tank can take out a target from kilometers away. But even when the technology has improved, some old methods are still being kept, as some events in history has shown that it isn't just about the weapons you use, its also about how you fight your enemy. Guerrilla Warfare has been shown to be low in technology, but still capable of causing huge modern, well equipped armies to go on the brink of defeat.
[B]I know the OP is quite shitty, but I have not much ideas on how to improve on it. Please give me feedback on what change/add to the OP to make it a better thread. Thanks! [/B][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_technology_and_equipment"][/URL]

[QUOTE=Uncle Bourbon;34260508]I hope this won't turn into an AK-47 VS M16 :v:[/QUOTE]I like the SCAR. Such a nice gun.
Inb4 people who know everything about guns from COD start a shitstorm with the basement dwelling army nerds
Also behold the AK-103, sexiest looking gun of all time

What happened to the thread UncleJemima made?
Just saying, the AKS-74 is the coolest assault rifle out there.
Please no mindless X army is better than Y army either.
Can not wait to have the little generals come in here and tell us so many facts that they should know at their job at McDonalds.

Seems like this thread is already attracting the nicest of people.
reinstate the glider infantry
switch to goat cavalry
mount recoilless rifles on everything etc etc.
Anybody here in the Austrian or Aussy forces? I wouldn't mind having a chat about the pros and cons of the Steyr aug.

why not? (Not a goat, but still)

I think Glock's should be the standard U.S. Military sidearm. M92's are terrible and outdated.
What is better, reflex or acog scopes?
I think that the Russian armed forces should replace their grenades. They are incredibly outdated.
I think they should make explosive potatoes. So when they throw it at enemies, the hostile force thinks that they're giving them food.
Russia should also replace their RPGs with cabbage launchers
Us Navy, Reporting in.
I am in the US Army! 74D Dragon Warriors all the way!
Drop Bears would make for a suitable force in any combat situation.
Agree / disagree?

not strictly military but it's close enough
[QUOTE=Neat!;34269287]random related image dump[/QUOTE]
Isn't there a thread for military related media?
So it seems the army is more open to different plate carriers. My friend is heading out to Bagram pretty soon and he's able to purchase the mayflower PC for use. Is there a memo, press release or anything talking about this?
oh god this is going to be a shitfest
:staying away:
just like the 1000 marines vs. 100 SAS thread was in BF2s
:shudder:
but I might as well pose a question for you all
what's [b]your[/b] opinion on the militarization of space?

Obviously the SAS would win. We're too busy beating sheep with baseball bats and pissing on dead bodies.

If anyone has any (sensible) questions about the British forces throw them my way.

does the load bearing vests and helmets in KF accurately reflect actual british gear?
[QUOTE=trotskygrad;34271480]does the load bearing vests and helmets in KF accurately reflect actual british gear?[/QUOTE]
Don't really play Killing Floor but all I can see from pictures is that the CBRN kit looks very similar.
Why do Israeli helmets look so strange
Goliath tank all the way
