Details of the fallout shelter at Sunshine. Got a roast in the oven but it looks like I left something gross in the fridge.

A would-be assassin takes aim at a leading presidential contender and former president, and all the federal attorney can come up with as a charge are a couple of gun violations?

Something seems fishy out in Florida where the crime happened, home to a lot of federal officials who hate Trump.

According to the Associated Press:

During an eight-minute hearing, prosecutors levied two charges against him: possessing a firearm despite a prior felony conviction and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. Officials said Routh could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the first charge, and a possible five-year sentence on the second charge. A bond hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 23, and a probable cause hearing or arraignment has been set for Sept. 30, depending on whether the government secures an indictment on the charges.

A snaggle-toothed, bug-eyed freak attempts to assassinate a former president and leading presidential contender, and for the second time in two months, and all they can come up with is a gun charge? It's strange stuff indeed given that he pointed what was reportedly a Dragunov SVD sniper rifle with a scope at his target from an easy 305 yards away, he somehow had the president's schedule, he had the money to make the trip despite not having any savings, he'd made crazed social media posts about hating the president and threatened to kill others, he had a backpack full of ceramic tiles to deflect return fire, and he had a fancy camera to record his act so that he could get it onto the television news.

There's no reasonable doubt that he had the intent to kill Trump, had done the planning to kill Trump, and went there to kill Trump.

Guess we're asking gun opinions, alright. Opinions on the Dragunov sniper rifle.

The original SVD with wood furniture and PSO-1 optic, not the later SVDM or SVDS.

probably one of the sexiest, most beautiful DMRs there is. It's on my wishlist of airsoft replicas i want.

[saturniandragon]

So far I have emotional support aircraft (Su-35BM and F-104B), emotional support supercar (2017 McLaren 675LT) but I don't have an emotional support gun yet.

The easy answer would be the original Soviet SVD-63/Dragunov but I'm partial towards a lot of other guns like the Croatian VHS-2 and the German MP5A2.

[howtofightwrite]

How big would an army of conscripts, armed with Dragunov pattern marksman rifles and iron sights, with between 1 and 3 magazines each, a radio headset that allows them to take orders on a platoon level (50 troops to be specific), and a single platoon artilleryman armed with an RPG-7 with 5 rockets, with assistance from a Mitsubishi Type 89 IFV (35mm autocannon, 7,62mm M240 pattern coaxial machine gun, tracked) and an aerial command/reconnaisance/attack/close air support aircraft, need to be to deal with an army of 1000 heavy pikemen, 50 elite knights, 200 heavy cavalry, 100 light cavalry and 200 longbowmen? The pikemen are armed with a pike and wear breastplates, pauldrons, gauntlets, a helm and chainmail. The heavy cavalry are armed with a heavy lance, a sword, cuirass and helm. Longbowmen use English yew bows and wear gambesons and a chainmail on the head. Light cavalry are armed with a spear, a short bow, and a small sword. The elite knights are armed with a heavy lance and a sword, and armoured in a full body suit of plate and horse barding, and they will move with the heavy cavalry.

Okay, so, for the record, you're not really supposed to use an SVD's iron sights. (SVD is short for “Dragunov Sniper Rifle,” so, these are formally called, “sniper rifles,” rather than just DMRs.) They were (supposed to be) issued with PSO-1 scopes. This can be a little amusing, because once you know what a PSO-1's range finder looks like, it's absolutely unmistakable, and you will see films and TV shows use them on other scopes. I bring this up, because the SVD has an effective range over 600 meters. (Specifications say it's good to almost 1.3km, but, that's very hopeful.)

However, with optics, those SVDs are going to massive out range any archer.

Your infantry have somewhere between 1k-3k packed rounds. So, if they were the only participants, they would need to be a little careful about ammo conservation. But, when you start factoring in the IFV, it doesn't matter.

This scenario isn't extraordinarily different from early battles in WWI. Where cavalry and infantry charged entrenched heavy machine gun fire, and were annihilated.

This is also a moment when the whole, “elite knight,” bit really doesn't matter. You have a minor noble, who spent almost their entire life training to be a better melee combatant. You put them in the best armor you've ever seen. And, then a bullet fired from a mass-produced sniper rifle, designed to be easily fabricated by anyone with a basic machine shop, and simple enough to be maintained by a barely literate conscript will drop them in less time than it takes to read this paragraph, before the knight even knows that someone is aiming at them.

I will say, this is a little bit of a weird combination, the Type 89 IFV, is a Japanese vehicle. The JSDF (to the best of my knowledge) has never used SVDs. These days, I think their DMR is the H&K 417. Until a few years ago, their primary infantry rifle was the Howa Type 89, which is basically a redesigned AR-18. Prior to that, they used the Howa Type 64, which was a 7.62mm battle rifle. (As far as I know, the Type 64 was domestically designed.)

The Russian/Soviet equivalent to the Type 89 IFV would be the BTR-80. As with the SVD, because it's a Romanized translation, BTR stands for, “armored carrier.” Somewhat obviously, these don't work particularly well if they're not maintained, or if the motor pool Sargent is stripping them for spare parts and siphoning gas to sell on the black market, because the government hasn't paid any of you in six months, but it's still going to have a fairly similar effect on those elite knights from the 11thcentury.

The 50 SVD rifles is weird. Full stop. It's a specialist weapon, not a general infantry weapon. In a situation like that, you'd expect to see conscripts armed with AKMs or AK74s, maybe a few SVDs and RPKs.

Now, if you were looking at a contemporary NATO unit from the 60s or 70s, then, yes, you would likely see battle rifles like the M14, FN FAL, or H&K G3. And, when you're describing using an SVD's iron sights, that's more how you have used one of those cold war era battle rifles. Also, while those rifles do have automatic settings, they're intended for semi-automatic fire.

If you're wondering why I'm not even addressing things like the areal support or the RPG, it's because they really don't matter that much. Areal reconnaissance means never having to wonder where the enemy forces are, but basically anything on this list except the RPG, could probably deal with all of the enemy forces on their own. Stacking them together would be absolutely devastating.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could use pretty much any modern IFV as a one-size-fits-all siege breaker if they're dealing with medieval forces.

When you're looking at modern military forces time traveling into the past, the biggest logistical issue is long term depletion of supplies. There isn't really a question of, “who's going to win? A guy with a rifle that's effective at a range of over a 1km, or 10 guys with pointy sticks. The issue is what happens in six months, or a year, when there's only three or four rounds left for that rifle on the planet, and, there won't be any more for another six hundred years.

Tell me more about Yelena. now. this is a threat. /j

BITCH. That’s like, idfk re-asking because you already know everything. But okay fine, I’ll talk about miss gurl. /h /af

Blake Clarke = Yelena Krasnova. (Yes, her name was changed).

The CIA agentry and psychological file curated for Blake’s activities at the E-9 CIA Safehouse, and of which are de-classified amongst E-9 personnel consists of the following information;

Blake was born on September 2nd 1953, as of 1981 she is 28 years old.

Blake was born in Hastings, a town close to London.

Her primary association is within SIS (MI6) in the role of Squad Leader, or more commonly; foreign agent. Operation involvement and squad activities are classified. But it is cited that she once worked alongside Helen Park, in whom recommended her for toleration.

Blake is near unmatched in the field of marksmanship, her skills also follow into near unrivalled sniper and field training. Proving herself useful in guerrilla warfare tactics. Seemingly able to make anything a viable weapon, or aide. Thus, it is recommended E-9 personnel make use of this advantage during their OP. Blake’s primary carrying weapon is a the designated marksman rifle: the Russian Dragunov SVD. The methods in how she obtained the Soviet weapon are unknown. Blake has also excelled in engineering, though the classification of her time in the military is on an immediate need-to-know basis and personal involvement. Blake is also adept in QCB/CQC and her skills of being an active intelligence officer are more inclined towards keeping her head low and blending in, taking time to learn an areas customs where she can. Which usually goes swimmingly.

Blake is a highly combative and paranoid agent. Keeping to herself is common. Engaging in conversation may seem empty or coarse as Blake commonly interacts with blunt and dry humour. But she has a sense of wit. It is cited that she is a highly unstable asset on the field, endangering herself to get the job done to an almost entirely lethal degree. She has a loose trigger finger. And tends to interpret the actions of others as hostile or invective. While professional, she is almost incapable of getting along with her peers. And in the case that she does, the bond is unbreakable. She is reliable, but it would be advisable to keep her on a very short leash. Blake may be quick to irate, but her loyalty is sung for.(paranoid—violent tendencies skills).

Blake’s appearance is a touchy subject, her usual attire, is often adorned with a balaclava with an eye slit. On the baseline, Blake is a highly athletic individual, if a bit underweight. Agile and stable on her feet; likely the fastest runner within the E-9 CIA TF. In the terms of extremely baseline identifiers. Her eyes are an olive drab green, skin is sickly pale. It is not anyones guess that her hair may be a diluted wheat blonde, maybe sandy with somewhat darker roots. And the Balaclava doesn’t cover up the scars over her right eye, it’s anyones guess how far those scars truly go. But it doesn’t take a genius to realise they’re also on her hands; continently covered with a pair of gloves.

(Other) skills are as following; Bilingual; English and Russian, Basic Cryptology, Sniper and Marksmanship adeptness, High Levels of Fitness, Advanced QCB/CQC training, Guerrilla Warfare tactics, Advsnced Weapons Maintenance knowledge, Intermediate Engineering skills.

It is 5am. I am going to calm the feck down. Some things are subject to change but it should only be very minor things. Anyways, I’m soo fancy! 🫡

[stealth-skills]

Meet the new Russian marksman rifle by Kalashnikov Group The first batch of the new Chukavin sniper rifles (SVСh) has been delivered to the Russian military after seeing action in the Ukrainian conflict zone. SVCh is a new Russian-designed marksman rifle made by Kalashnikov Concern, which is meant to become a successor to the ubiquitous Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD). Designed for combined arms warfare, the SVCh can be used to hit targets at a distance of up to 1,000 meters, though it can also be used in a close-range firefight. S

THE SVD, DRAGUNOV. Russia's sniper rifle plus Combat accuracy test.

The SVD / Dragunov video took us a long time to complete. The Dragunov is perhaps the most recognizable sniper / dmr out there. I hope you enjoy this video and we do a dive on the SVD and see if we are Soviet Sniper material.

[tlaquetzqui]

I was apparently overthinking. I was like “Wish there was a decent bullpup version of the FN FAL or the M14 for me to base my future setting’s service rifle on.” But then I realized there is: it’s the Warsaw Pact equivalent. Namely, the Dragunov, which was made for the only role the M14 is still used in, namely a DMR. And it has a bullpup version, the SVU (the normal one is the SVD).

See, my humans need rifles that’ll work with full-powered rounds, because their armor is too good for intermediate (assault rifle) cartridges.
