A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

"hundreds of 2000 tungsten balls"
I feel like I either had a stroke, or this is some military jargon I'm not familiar with.
Nah, you're not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.
Ah, they must weigh less than 90kg
300m pretty fucking good for a shotgun lol
But does it mean that you cant fine tune your aim? Is there a chance someone right infront of the barrel isnt hit?
It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There's a chance it wouldn't hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.
I was thinking 2000g (i.e. 2kg) balls, unless 2000 is a descriptor of a particular type of tungsten.
Just like 00 and 000 are shot size indicators too, I also thought that
Say about the Ukrainians what you want, but their knack for turning stuff into utterly nonsensical murder machines is genuinely impressive. Have an atronomically fuck-off huge shotgun is bound to leave a dent in the enemy's morale.
This is in fact a NATO standard cartridge that someone had to sign off on shipping to Ukraine
I want a big shotgun! No, bigger! No, biiiiiger!
Idk if it can hurt MBTs, but troops and their carriers? Easily.
I'd like to see a demonstration of how this exact thing works but I don't know how to google it.
Def not mbt but certainly a clusterfuck of infantry somewhere over in some foliage within 300m, bretty good
