@CyberSpacePirate RPK is light machine gun that is literally an AK-74 with an extended and heavier barrel and bipod, and extended banana magazine. The PKM is a General Purpose Machine Gun.

A lot of things from the AK, RPK, and PKM are similar, because the Russian Military basically took Kalashnikovs guns over any other company.

RPK is a heavy AKM

RPK is a General Purpose Machine Gun.

*PKM

Not RPK.

RPK is not an AK74

RPKs are still chambered in 7.62 right?

There's two kinds of rpks

Classic RPK is 7.62x39, RPK74 is 5.45x39

so im doing some browsing for WH40k, and the article im reading is on the Siege of Vraks, and apparently the DKoK's method of gathering Battlefield intelligence is throwing infantry at Enemy lines, and simply marking down where more guardsmen are dying fastest

Seeems pretty b a s e d to me

indeed

the siege is also apparently supposed to draw similarities from the Battle of Verdun

If the confederate states came back as a military power, but not the same controversial laws they had, do you think they could beat the north.

hard to say, it would be extremely difficult for the North to beat the south this time around, as what helped the North win was finding a moral ground to stand on halfway through the war that they could reinforce with propaganda

the New CSA would have a major advantage tho

holding a large portion of the breadbasket of America

withholding resources to the North, would cause massive instability there and lead to critical errors done by the Norths military structure

South also has territorial advantage, thick forrests, swamps, mountainous terrain, would be the ingrediants you need for large scale guerrilla warfare

which would be able to offset the mass numbers the North would have

and the thing about the US military, it still has not adapted to Guerrilla warfare beyond mass number advances

guerrilla war won’t win a civil war in any acceptable amount of time

Americans just aren’t used to fighting in their own cities and towns like that

a New CSA would require a proper military

And also probably not be named the CSA

well this is a what if scenario, name of the New South doesnt matter all that much

for sure but a name would also matter in terms of a civil war

You will get practically zero support calling it the CSA

a name like Dixie would probably be better, as its currently still a nickname of the South and doesnt have the same conotations as CSA does

eh it definitely does for someone not from the south

Definitely correlated with the CSA

very little people that iv talked to who dont like in the South know of the connection between Dixie and CSA

Dixie area in Utah is controversial for outsiders

dixie state university and dixie technical college

frankly most people who know the name Dixie would probably find it more relating to the Dixie plastic cups than the nickname of the south

I agree with zilla

I also say not Dixie because it wouldn’t just be the South in the same way today. There’s dozens of states that have similar values and beliefs which are mainly heartland states

that is true, as Dixie is derived from part of the term Mason Dixon Line

tho in this scenario it would be funny. the US west was an enemy of the South in the 1st Civil War, and now they would be an ally for the most part

Somebody has never heard of the Green Berets.

well adapted to in the sense of combating against it, not using it themselves
