A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

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 ‘western’ 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. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat 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.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

I've always wondered about the logistics of making the magazine the actual handle.

Would that be possible? Would it cause issues?

My thought process is your hand is right there already if you need to reload.

Hmm. If you have enough support around it I don't see why not. I don't know how ergonomic it would end up being, though.

A quick search indicates it's been done. Obviously modern pistols are like this, but also mentioned are the Sten gun, MAT 49 and most eye-catchingly the TKB 022.

The Sten, famously, had no reliability issues related to the magazine feeding.

Yes, in general it is not a good idea for the magazine to be moved around by your hand. The welrod does this, but it is manually operated, so the reliability of the magazine is not really a concern:

It is presumably for this reason the wartime manual for the Sten gun specifically instructs soldiers not to use the magazine as a support grip:

[–] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Just loop it around the whole gun to use as a sling or stand too, fuck banana clip keep the whole tree trunk

Oh man, I missed bullpupping memes...

[–] DonGirses@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Holy feeding mechanism, Batman!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 1 week ago

This is gonna trigger everyone who criticizes movies for having people grip the magazine.

Ok this one legit makes me angry...look what they didn't my beautiful baby boy. The mp40 is a master piece.

This is like shitting on the Mona Lisa.

What else am I going to use when I really gotta go when in the Louvre?
