Lol. The firepower depends on the type of ammo used. For example 00 buckshot is devastating up to about 45meters or so. Image 9 pellets .330 of an inch in diameter traveling at about 1500 feet per second!

I would go for this ammo🤩 but just thinking of strategy wouldn't a assult riffle be better thinking of your surrounding terrain of fields? Im not saying a shotgun is bad tho that thing would be worse to get hit by then a riffle bùllet i guess. But im not an expert on that really just thinking that the shotgun is more powerfull and lethal but the riffle has more precision and you can fire more bullets until reload

Using short cased 12ga 1 3/4 inch shells of #4 buck, I can fit 10 of these in my Mossberg.

Each shell contains 34 .33inch dia lead balls. If I fire at a rate of 1 per second, in ten seconds I can send 340 balls down range.

At 1200 fps.  That's a lot of firepower. Perfect for in home use at close range, which is where most hostile encounters happen.

Those would be great home defence rounds. My mossberg 500 pump gun will fit 7 rounds of 2 3/4 rounds in the magazine tube. With those short rounds bet I would fit 9 as well

O us lowly Canadian civilians aren't allowed to own assault rifles lol. My selector switch on my ar 15 rifles dont rotate the full 180 degrees into full auto, just 90 degrees to semi auto 

Your right about the open fields, rifles work better. A shotgun is the ultimate close quarters battle weapon. And for breaching doors as well

Mine proof armored personel carrier. Not much to explain about it i guess

Land mine resistant lol. A big enough land mine will take out anything. 155mm artillery shells daisy chained together will do the trick

Haha artillery might work but it's not called mine proof for no reason

What I mean by daisy chaining 155mm arty shells is that it's used as an IED. Bury 3 or 4 together and wire them to explode together, well it will destroy a mine proof APC. Maybe not so much a main battle tank

Mabye but a mine proof car is better then a not mine proof car

Without active armor an RPG will take it out in  short order.  I don't see any on the vehicle in the picture.

It's not in combat at the moment but if the war comes it will have armor it's a serbian vehicle

Reactive armor is armour that explodes before the projectile hits it. The idea is that you dissipate and explosion with explosives

The advent of the tank and armoured vehicle types in WW1,and then the massive use of armoured formations in WW2,caused problems for the infantry.There were the towed kind of field guns,weighing a ton or more,but these needed their own transport,and were unwieldy,and stationary.

Most countries developed some kind of man-portable anti armour weapon.The USA the Bazooka,which by 1944,couldnt really do much damage beyond a lucky shot against the huge Panzers of that time.But enough to maybe make them think about moving on,and could destroy more light vehicles,trucks,half tracks etc.Indeed today,a creed of the USMC is "hunting tanks is fun and easy",as a squad with a Bazooka,is better against tanks,than often another tank.

The British developed the PIAT (Platoon,Infantry,Anti Tank).This fired a hollow charge via a heavy compressed spring.It WAS quite effective against panzers,at the battle of Arnhem,Major Cain of the 1st Airborne using a PIAT did disable a few german tanks.However,the PIAT was unwieldy,heavy,and required loading by standing on a baseplate(in the heat of battle,standing up isnt recommended),and kicked like a mule upon firing.

The Germans late in the war,developed perhaps the best anti-tank weapon.The Panzerfaust.

This was made in thousands,a one shot,throw away tube,that fired a hollow charge projectile about a 100 yards or so,and would penetrate over 5 inches of armour.This was more than all allied tanks up to that time..At close ranges as in the hedgerow country in Normandy,good troops armed with these took a fair toll of the Shermans that the allied forces were mainly equipped with.

Also,in the last weeks of the war,as the allies closed in from West and East,the Panzerfaust was such a simple point and aim weapon,that civilians could use it easily.Apart from the risk of being killed by the enemy supporting infantry of course!The Germans in WW2 were very good at developing weapons quickly to suit needs.

Anti air veichle works against both enemy ground forces and air also i guess it could be used at shore to take down enemy naval forces if they get too close.

FlakPanzer Gepard of the Bundeswehr.Nothing like large calibre machine guns to wipe out infantry.In WW2 the Bulge,a platoon of US M3 halftracks equipped with 4 .50 calibre machine guns defending a crossroads wiped out a battalion of attacking infantry.It was called "the meatchopper".

Yup totally agree with you, it was the best man portable antitank weapon of the war

Shapes charges are real tank killers. Imagine a jet of molten copper burning thru the armour of the tank setting anything inside on fire

Ahahahahahah no I'm not

I know you're kidding but I play to answer "seriously"

Mikhail Bakunin and Alexander Kropotkin invented Communism as a milder form of capitalism, where production lies in the Law of Supply & Demand, to avoid capitalism to go rampage and involve banks too much

Their goal was to focus on production rather than exceedingly aggressive economy, so to avoid modern world where some people has up to dozens of BILLIONS dollars and a BILLION humans die of starvation

In a world where TRUE Communism was used, nobody would ever earn more than 50,000 $ per month and nobody less than 1000

 

Marx and Engels tried to explain communism to the world and failed a bit, with those misunderstood concepts about abolishing private property (while instead the concept was that unproductive riches should be just taxed a bit more in order to make money circulating), and URSS made a great mistake.

 

They applied Stalinism, not Communism, yet they called it that way and now people consider Communism as what was used in URSS, while I spent my life studying it early forms and they are nothing like that

So I could never work for what Russia was, and even less for what Russia is today

 

The only country I serve is the one I see in my ideals, the one we Witches hope to build, a world Empire, with just one Language, just one coin, and absolutely no borders, where all people are given an employement (and are forced to keep it, so to avoid criminality and people thriving on helps like lazy people or entire tribes of travellers going around, which I do not hate at all, but they make confusion), and no pjilosophy or religions, only the cult of true entities explained by us, and a lot of free time and nasty piss sex everywhere

For such a country, yes, I'm an undercover agent, and I am here to sensibilize people about the need to create such a society

I agree with all except for the one language thing. Unless you mean the eventual consolidation of all languages into one common language.

Fine looking pistol sir. Up here in Canada pistols are range use only. I wish we could have carry permits and if so my wife's glock 48 would be perfect lol
