When he answered the question about the night matches, he touched on a concept that I think people need to look at more. He says new shooters want to go out to the big, complicated matches first because the others are not interesting. He suggests the start small and learn the basics. I wanted to get into 2GAC and Desert Brutality, but had never shot anything other than paper and had shot on the clock. I listened and went to a pistol steel match. I loved it and met some many new people from all backgrounds and experience levels. I learned so much in just one morning. Unfortunately, one match is all I have been to - Covid-19 hit and shut everything down. Hopefully, we can get back to shooting again.

I hear you. I did my IPSC handgun and rifle/shotgun qualifications (dynamic shooting is a bit tricky here in Germany, IPSC is one of the few option) just before the lock-downs started. I had hoped to get to as many IPSC matches as possible throughout the year (as well as anything else I can find, like Steel Challenge) to get some experience (I don't care about placement or times, I just want to get practice) and maybe sign up for Finnish Brutality 2021. So far exactly none of that has happened. But at least the ranges are slowly (and with heavy restrictions) starting to open up again here. But until there can be competitions again, it's probably going to take a while :(

@Treblaine 4 года назад

There are now cheap "course correction" tips for artillery shells that make them much more accurate. Not as accurate as a hellfire missile but it can mean they can be used much closer to friendlies and need far fewer shells to have a few land with the blast radius reaching the intended target. One problem with depending on precision weapons is you need to know EXACTLY where the enemy is, what if you don't know where they are. What if all you know is that there's load of militia with PKMs somewhere in that irrigation ditch 500m away.

@MrTrilbe 4 года назад

@Kaboomf 4 года назад

Also, incoming arty rounds tend to be higher velocity so harder to stop with point defenses. The high velocity gives short flight time compared to drones or even missiles fired from equivalent range, remember modern arty goes many many miles and does so in only a couple of minutes. You may not have a fifteen-minute window of firing opportunity, so if you want to replace arty with drones you have to keep a bunch of drones loitering all over the place at all times. Arty can just sit there and be ready to fire without spending fuel. Guided missiles, for most types you get either way shorter range or way longer time of flight until rounds hit target. Arty can throw however many tons of shells at the target as you're able to bring up in trucks. Drones have much lower payload capacity, and must return to base for rearming. Missiles have a lower payload to propellant/body ratio so replacing arty with guided missiles puts a major strain on logistics. Guided missile systems are also expensive, they put all the costly electronics etc into single-use missiles where conventional artillery fires relatively cheap ammo from an expensive multi-use gun. Guided missiles often rely on spotters using expensive and heavy laser target designator systems, whereas anyone with a radio and a compass can direct artillery. This means you have fewer people in the field to direct missiles than arty. In summary, conventional artillery is not going away until and unless we get satelite-based energy beam weapons.

@UtubeEric12345 4 года назад

Just Vailo My thought exactly. For counter insurgency operations and the like I entirely agree with Carl that artillery is getting obsolete. But when it comes to a large scale prolonged military conflict between two industrial countries I think artillery is a very different tool compared to rockets and etc. And logistics is quite different for the more advanced weapon systems. The missile guiding systems will for example probably run out, due to the complex manufacturing, much earlier than regular artillery ammunition. The same goes for a battlefield with heavy electronic warfare present.

@wilsoncalhoun 4 года назад

For the US anyway, I think it depends on what our next big war is like. If we keep on getting involved in relatively small, local wars where asymmetrical combat and guerilla tactics are the rule of the day, then nah. Guided missiles and drones are going to continue to take "market share" away from conventional artillery. If we wind up going head to head against another superpower or a coalition of hostile nations capable of fielding a unified, large, modern army though, we're going to rediscover that heavy artillery is still the cheapest and most reliable way to accurately put as much heavy ordnance down range as humanly possible with the least amount of personal risk.

@genericpersonx333 4 года назад

Yeah, I think Karl is mistaken in thinking that artillery is on a technological plateau. Right now, we have guided artillery munitions, digitally-networked fire-control systems, and even automatic counter-battery systems that near-instantly identify the location of an enemy artillery fire and points your guns right at them. If anything is going away, it is towed artillery because they will never be able to relocate faster than they can be retaliated against, but right now and for years to come, if you need to cost-effectively destroy large amounts of the enemy, big-gun artillery is the Queen and King of the Battlefield. Drones and missiles supplement the artillery, not replace it.

Artillery has not been the squeekiest wheel in non conventional warfare, but has qualities that make it not obsolesent and has been proven tactically irreplaceable in battlefields such as Ukraine. Artillery is cheaper than any other ordinance delivery system. Artillery is also non weather dependent, can provide constant support, sustained fire, quicker reactions, and the capability of not only HE, but battlefield manipulators like smoke, illumination, or mines as well. Precision guidance and extended range is also making artillery a better option than air strikes which are a million a pop.

@yurei8368 4 года назад

Not what "obsolescent" means. A huge, heavy, slow-moving, vulnerable artillery piece is so much less useful than a drone strike or similar remote ordinance. Will nations and militaries that don't have the means of obtaining or using drone strikes still use giant guns lobbing oversized shells? Absolutely - you fight a war with the weapons you have, not the ones you want. The same could be said of bolt rifles, blackpowder rifles, or even bows/crossbows - if you HAVE to fight, fight with the best weapon you can lay hands on. That does not mean the weapons other people lay hands on are not better, often to the point of rendering your own weapon a severe hindrance. Better than *no* weapon, but still obsolescent.

@nirfz 4 года назад

@@yurei8368 The big heavy artillerypiece (as well as it's ammo) is less likely to be affected by (electronic) countermeasures. The other thing is that artillery is used as area denial weapon. Imagine the number of rockets and drones needed, they and their ammo would be to few and too costly to use in such a way. I think rockets and drones have a very different role than artillery. They are for precision attacks of single targets.

@andrewparker5096 4 года назад

@@yurei8368 I agree with nirfz here although you definitely bring up a great point. Part of the problem with using the modern US (and other world powers') arsenal and doctrine as a standard is that for 75 years or so none of us have fought a traditional war against another world power. If you specifically look at the short conflicts against more modern militaries (Falklands, Desert Storm) artillery was just as important as the super expensive guided weapons. As far as viability goes a single Hellfire missile for example costs hundreds of thousands of dollars where an average HE round form a 155 mm howitzer costs a few hundred and can accomplish the same thing. When fighting against single targets (one building, vehicle, individual) modern smart weapons are great; essentially long range murder. A total war however quickly becomes a battle of attrition and $400 bucks kills just as many random people as $400,000 in a cheaper weapons platform. In future wars unless smart weapons become much less expensive and complicated it will eventually devolve into throwing lead and explosives as fast as you can and saving the fancy electronic weapons for high priority targets.

@morgan3688 4 года назад

@inönu Stationary artillery is not useless. It is just less useful than it was in the past, due to improved counter battery radar. If you have a fixed position, than stationary batteries will provide superior firepower both in accuracy and volume to mobile batteries. Logistics is also simpler. Specifically, stationary artillery is excelent in supporting patrols around both long and short term firebases, especially in mountinous regions like afghanistan. This is further enhanced by the complete lack of counter battery threat posed by unconventional adversaries. Remember that artillery is not only howitzers and rockets, but also mortars.

With artillery, we are seeing many of those guidance systems become intergraded within the artillery shell. Man-portable guided "smart" mortars are a thing. 'Plug-and-play' guidance packages (think JDAM) for legacy shells also exist. Rocket boosted artillery shells have been around for a while. Rockets are also fairly expensive compared to shells, which matter when you're the Army buying 10 million of the things. From a ground forces perspective the rocket really only shines in two roles, needing huge volumes of fire or single-use disposable weapons. The former doesn't really benefit from the development in smart munitions and the latter has been done for decades.

@arnocharrier3438 4 года назад

Also I was thinking about the possibilities of jamming the guidance system or signal of a missile or a drone, it could cut off any fire support. But with artillery you're shooting "dumb" shells, they can't be missguided or jammed and can hardly be shot down before reaching the target. So yeah, Artillery is obsolescent but it is way more cost effective and reliable than missiles or drones.

@ronhmclaughlin 4 года назад

Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) fuzes are 12k a fuze. There is a time a place for guided weapons and often they are the preferred option. However, there still is a time and place for unguided, area fire weapons. When you don't have a good target location, and you have a situation like enemy fire is coming from the tree line, we cannot locate the exact place the fire is coming from and we need it suppressed for 10-20 minutes to allow maneuver. I can do that with PGMs and assign each round a DMPI, but that gets real expensive real quick

@ronhmclaughlin 4 года назад

@williammagoffin9324 4 года назад

@@arnocharrier3438 Well if you can jam any active or off-board guidance system of a missile you likely can jam the same thing on an arty shell. If you're dealing with something with internal guidance (which could in theory be in either a missile or a shell) then short of shooting it down you're not stopping it unless the other guy misses. Wire guidance for missiles (like TOW) does become a little advantageous in that situation but then you are trading control for exposure of the launching platform. I should mention there are systems that can intercept artillery (like C-RAM) but systems like that can also deal with missiles and a low flying drone about as well.

@tangero3462 4 года назад

I think the one thing that will keep arty around is the weather. A dumb shell guided by math and wind calculations doesn't really give a shit if it is sleet, sun, or hail, it's gonna hit within a vague margin of what you're aiming at regardless. Artillery has no on-station time and doesn't need fuel besides a short chow break. It works both at night and in daylight. Guided munitions are coming a long way, but sometimes the old technology just gets the job done just fine. A lot of this changes in a circumstance where you have a significant worry about counter-battery fire, such as a near-peer conflict. Smaller or more mobile solutions likely replace most conventional gun tubes in that situation.

Plus it gives area denial. Smart munitions are nice, except when the order is "deny moving through this 300 yards by 100 yards box across this forest or this valley". If all the smart munitions hit the dead center of the box with immaculate accuracy... job badly done. Artillery just kinda lobbing rounds in the box 50 yards dispersion on couple spots.... job perfectly done. Enemy can't predict and avoid the landing spots, when the spots are random even to the shooting crew. It has tremendous psychological effect also. In the nasty "we don't give shit about you, just rain steel on them until they are all torn to shreds" kinda way. Shooting one general with smart munitions, cool and effective. However most of the army goes "Well I ain't a general". You rain whole units with random artillery barrage..... Well that is going to make mince meat out of crew morale. No one is safe due to being insignificant enough target, since the hits are random. Realistically military fights with crew morale. To hold ground one needs boots on the ground. If the boots refuse to step forward due to thinking the cause isn't good enough for risking getting turned to shredded human meat with artillery, well the attack stops there. Hence why defensive militaries usually hold large stock piles of heavy artillery. It is good and cheap way to make any attacker think twice, since very very rarely is the cause of attacker good enough to keep good morale among the attackers troops, while the boots on front line are getting shredded to pieces.

The Henry Big Boy X is available in .357 Magnum, has a 7 round capacity, and M-Lok slots at the front of the handguard for flashlights or lasers. The rail on the bottom is for a bipod. The receiver is tapped for mounting a rail or other optic mount. It also has a threaded barrel for a brake, flash hider, or suppressor.

Artillery does have a significant advantage over guided missiles when it comes to penetreation on thick bunker walls so i would think howitzers will be on the battlefield as long as thick bunker walls are.

@Warriorcat49 4 года назад

I'm gonna have to disagree with you there on the basis of shaped charge warheads, and the fact that guided missiles can and do generally carry a larger payload than traditional artillery shells. Artillery isn't going away any time soon, but this isn't one of the reasons why.

@carami6442 4 года назад

@@Warriorcat49 artillery can have shaped charges too but the problem with any shaped charge is the payload is used to do the penetrating. You can't have a delayed charge and a shaped charge in the same projectile. Artillery shells use kinetic energy to penetrate and explode inside whatever they've penetrated using a delayed charge which is much more destructive on the insides of whatever it's exploding inside of

Oddly another place I've seen it is in Dyson vacuum cleaners which I was able to disassemble and repair with a coin.

I mean on small missiles, I am not sure, keep in mind rocket arty does usually fall under arty in most countries. As for drones - they are susceptable to AA fire. Artillery had become the main weapon in the Donbass War, as both sides had anti-air and the plains of East Ukraine make easy killzones for ATGMs, which in such a "local" conflict, there will inevitably be more than armor. Artillery is far far from going out of fashion - with modern artillery computers, they have become the most realiable cost per firepower option.

@Ihasanart 4 года назад

Artillery isn't so much becoming obsolescent as it is evolving to incorporate more in the realm of rocket and guided munitions. A great example of this is the new guided ramjet powered 155mm artillery shell the US Army is getting Raytheon to develop. Regarding your battle rifles series with P&S, I think anyone looking for clinical sanitized scientific results in that is looking for the wrong data in the wrong place. It was a great series showcasing how both the lower and higher end skill levels adapted to each battle rifle and their manual of arms/quirks, providing valuable data on how much performance both ends of the skill spectrum are able to wring from each platform and an indication of the 'effectiveness' of each platform. Stacking each rifle against each other in that format also helped to show the fallacies of lots of myths surrounding individual rifles. If Ian ever gets his hands on that GIGN gas seal covered suppressed MR73, you should give that a go at the mud test, its the best any revolver will ever get.

Pistol braces are absolutely amazingly useful. I have the tailhook on my scorpion and it makes it sooooo much more practical. Also, the Dayton shooting used a pistol braced AR, the media didn't even know that wasn't a normal rifle and that SBR's are illegal. They just focused on it being an AR-15. So I think braces are safe. Also as far as a modernized lever gun, Do a stainless steel 1873, add the Chiappa style takedown with polymer stock (preferably with water proof storage in the stock so it's light weight and you can put a survival kit in it or extra ammo), .357, 16 1/2" barrel, rail for something like a Primary Arms Prismatic sight or a red dot, removable rail on the side for light or laser if you're using it with nvgs for hogs. You'd have an absolutely amazing little bush/survival/car/atv gun that could also be a very practical fighting rifle. Also, I think the GRAD missile systems and smaller Katyusha style rockets we see in Syria and Ukraine prove artillery is already obsolete. They're just as cheap to fire. The launcher is way cheaper to make than a cannon. And a single launcher can put down as much fire as a whole battery of artillery.

I'm sure The Chieftain, as a tanker, would love for arty to bite the dust... Edit: so the weakest parts of most tanks are the back and the top. And the fancier armies today are developing guided artillery shells if they don't already have them. If you got active protection, it's one thing to blow up a shoulder fired RPG a few meters from the hull. But a 155mm shell falls a lot faster than any rpg and carries a way bigger bang.

I have a friend who is the office manager for a medium sized manufacturing company. They've moved to an almost _entirely_ work-from-home model for their office staff, and they're already looking forward to a long term future for that. They're in the process of closing down their _very expensive_ office in downtown Portland Oregon, and looking at a much smaller 4 room office in a bedroom community that will have two or three (out of 20+) office staff on site. Even those two or three would not be there every day, just for specific times during the work week. The company president absolutely loves the work-from-home culture they've developed. They've figured out they only really need a physical office at all for their database servers and a couple of meeting rooms. Pretty cool, actually. Of course their manufacturing facility still remains with a staff of about 30, but that's not something you can do from home.

I fully understand, and don’t know why this wasn't more obvious to me, that the OWVs are disproportionately expensive - certainly in the sense of high $/min. - so it wouldn’t make a lick of sense to turn the channel into something economically self-destructive.

@alex7x57 4 года назад

In two-position vs single-position feed magazines, it's not the bolt face which needs special design or manufacture considerations. A case in point is the Thompson M1921 and it's derivative configurations. The box magazines are two-position feed, while the drums are single-position, and the portion of the bolt which makes contact with the cartridge for feeding is little bigger than the cartridge itself. What does need attention in a two-position feed gun is the feed ramp design, needing to be in the proper dimensions so that a cartridge can smoothly feed from either side of the magazine. The downside of two-position feed magazines is that the gun must be wider up top, which can be a problem if there are width constraints in what you want to build, such as in a semi-auto pistol for example.
