  NOBODY goons like Matty, but remember folks, while Matty's busy gooning around, we're here getting REAL WORK done for America! We're building, creating, and making our country the GREATEST it's ever been! Gooning is for the weak, winning is for the STRONG! #MAGA2024 #WinnersNotGoons 🇺🇸💪

  fishing line is strung out like webs dozens of feet out around the vehicles which are being set up in wooded areas, drones still have an issue with foliage

  Yeah, when an RPG hits a cage, the shrapnel bounces off the armor.
  
  When a drone hits the fishing line, the shrapnel flays the meatsack.
  
  It's a hard problem.
  
  The answer may be mechas.

  I think @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta suggestion of a return to flak is a very workable solution.

  Russians are doing that with modified grenade launchers, the other thing theyre doing is stringing up fishing line around targets

  That's probably the way, but drones in the air are hard to find and hard to hit.
  
  Infantrymen in trenches, less so.

  Drones are a hot topic right now, even in IT sec, and that a problem no one really has an answer for right now other than remove the operator.

  >Supposedly always 2 weeks away from WW3 and we need an entirely new round that zero systems can be converted to at the moment, have no logistical infrastructure to manufacture and distribute, and basically zero success at teaching the average grunt on how to use the LVPO it came with and accurately shoot at further distances. Oh and still no serious counter measure to and deployment of our own FPV drones which have been the first weapon system to markedly alter ground combat since the introduction of the AR/AK enmass.
  
  Yep, sounds like DOD planning, I mean lobbyist cock sucking alright.

  The problem with LVPOs is the same with any variable power scope. Either you have a FFP scope and the reticle gets too big to be useful at high magnification, or you have a SFP scope and all the nifty reticle doodads are only good at max magnification.
  
  It's a training issue, yeah, but it's just one more thing for Murphy to get involved with when people are shooting at you.
  
  There are some fully electronic scopes that fix all that by getting rid of the actual optics completely and just going to electronic zoom. That's probably the future, but didn't really exist yet when the Army started down this path looking for a new rifle.
  
  The drone thing... I don't think ANYONE has figured out how to solve that yet.

  And yet rifleman accuracy will be even shittier thanks to diversity as fire and maneuver will still be required. Should have just upgraded the M249.

  It's a boondoggle.
  
  Sig will be building a new factory next to the Lake City ammunition plant in Missouri to make the new 6.8 round.
  
  The rifles themselves will be assembled in New Hampster, but I'm betting there will be a lot of Congressional districts that get a piece of the pie.
  
  The all-new 6.8 round doesn't do anything that existing 6.8 rounds do, except cost more.

  The problem areas are where the hot gas erodes the shoulder of the chamber. Making it thicker won't help.
  
  Internal ballistics is a bitch.
  
  The new US Army round based on the 277 Fury is 80,000PSI.
  
  They expect to replace a lot of barrels.

  Getting a proper heat treat is the key, but that's really tough to do with the different densities of the bar stock and the EDM layers.
  
  Best bet is just to go to a lower pressure round.

  The only thing I worry about is throat and gas port erosion, but realistically, if you're making your own barrels from steel blanks, just replace the things when they start to wear.

    DIY barrel rifling using salt water, electricity and a 3D printed jig
    
    from ImproGuns
    
    Here are pictures of a preliminary setup for creating rifling grooves in a piece of steel tubing by using a 3D printed spiral insert, lots of salt water and a battery charger.Electrochemical Machining is a process whereby metal is removed by passing an electrical current through a solution, the insert in this case exposing the specific areas to be ‘cut’ during the process.The results are quite interesting and certainly open up some possibilities for homebuilders.“This is Jeffrod’s ECM jig, 5 inches long with a 0.813 diameter printed in black PLA and setup for 4 grooves using 26 gauge steel music wire for the electrode.”

  I figured. All talk, no action.
  
  Learn FreeCAD, take some online classes on metallurgy, buy a mill and a lathe and learn to turn and rifle barrels, mill and assemble upper receivers.

  @MCMLXVIIOTG hitting the nail on the head! @FourOh-LLC might as well be sending out a signal for mutual aid with all that talk.

  What kind of real work?
  I promote single-user nodes, and alternatives to ActivityPub. The more single-user owner-operated fedi nodes there are, the harder it is to censor, block, destroy the fedi.
  
  I think I am doing real work.
