Guess that explains why you guys litteraly made a gun out of kitchen and plumbing equipment "STEN", why still used maxims at the time and Why you couldnt supply airforce with second parachutes since *8 pounds per life was too expinsive*
We were fighting a war against most of the factories in Europe
And you counldnt use your colonise factories ?

We did. In the end
but there were these things called U-boats
Angry German sea beasts
U-boats was one of the most effective weapons of war under ww2. It was a reason why the merchant marines had the worst rate of casualties of all the branches of the allied forces
but hitler squandered resources on battleships because he thought battleships were awesome
hes not wrong in them being awesome though
just like a kar98k is awesome
but an stg more effective
Most people under ww2 except for that Americans did believe that the fight on water was to be the same as ww1 but they were the first to realise that the future was in aircraft carriers and the rest were just there to support them
@LOGiK It was a decent idea to try and challenge the royal navy with a small modern fleet close to home to make it vulnerable abroad, but it got started way too late to build up in time.
it was a bad idea to throw huge manufacturing time and metal resources into giant battleships, if hitler had just made uboats germany probably would have won the naval war
@LOGiK Once convoys got ironed out they were vastly less effective and would have needed even more numbers to remain effective, and towards 1944 and 1945 plane-mounted radar and searchlights meant subs were suffering ever-greater mortality. So yeah, subs were a great investment early on but needed more and more investment to stay competitive later on against attrition. Honestly I think they should have invested a bit more in light surface ships like destroyers and E-boats to avoid facing the Royal Navy in open combat and maybe naval special forces like the Italians, but once they got bottled up in their ports they were basically doomed no matter what.
the amount of resources wasted on big, inefficient battleships was huge though
Yeah, that aspect was just a waste since it was started too late
They also never had enough smaller ships to adequately protect those larger ships they did finish
Bismark and Scharnhorst would have lived a lot longer with a better screen

well, just ar 15 things
brass ejecting aside, what kinda garbage article is that
<:kek:590371888480387073>
I'm sorry I dont know anything about guns or bullets. Whats the problem here?
nothing
with the picture at least
but to explain it, if gas pressure is "too high" for w/e reason, the brass hits the deflector hard and is being recoiled forward
and the picture was taken in the right moment when it was perfectly in line with the barrel
@MountainMan usually when you fire a gun, the rounded tip comes out and the brass is left behind
Here, the entire case came with it
dont give him fake news
cool
that brass would be all sorts of mangled if it flew down the bore
It is a necked cartridge
It more deadly as it fires the hole bullet at the enemy
monkey brain article
