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.

The possibilities are endless now...

Hey, maybe if everyone stops buying all our death machines we'll stop making so many and build something useful instead? Wishful thinking I know but...

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We stopped buying these death machines from you years ago (in fact, we never really started buying them):

But that didn't stop you from making more of them or making them more deadly each year.

Dodge Rams are paper trucks. For decades they were (and still are) slapped together pieces of shit that would catastrophically fail at the drop of a hat. The brand deserves to be associated with conservative assholes that will shoot their own faces off in rage if you call their nose gay.

There's a 2020 article about the #1 most likely vehicle to be in an accident caused by a drunk driver is a Dodge Ram 2500.

To be fair, no one outside of the US really buys anything in that f150 size or bigger

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

When we need big we get a van for all-rounder stuff, or whatever specialised truck is required for the profession.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

Eurofighter ftw.

[–] Renohren@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The saying remains: European rifles are amazing unless you're left handed.

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll be contrarian on this: For rifles, your eye dominance matters a lot more than which hand you use. Really you shouldnt be relying much on fine motor skills for it anyway. My southpawed family members just shoot like everyone else.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I think they mean the bullpups fling hot brass into your arm if you shoot lefty.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The famas could be set to eject to whichever side you preferred.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Lol at the one random downvote.
"I don't like rifles that eject cases, they should be recycled!"

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 1 points 9 hours ago

I get downvoted any time I make a comment that lets on I know things about guns.

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

... right, but if you dont shoot lefty, that's not a problem. That is my point. Just shoot "righty". There isnt a good reason not to unless you are mostly blind in the right eye or otherwise impaired on the right.

[–] decipher_jeanne@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Because my dominant eye is the left? So I shoot lefty. Even tho I am right handed. And yes the difference is noticable when I shoot righty.

Now to be fair I only do standing air rifle shooting maybe real firefight situation is different.

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Yeah, I meant for service rifles where typically accuracy isnt the top priority. Most people can learn to cope with it, even if your other eye is strongly dominant.

Everyone is different, but I have taught people to shoot and I am myself a strongly left-eye dominant righty. I have no problem with it for rifle with a magnified optic and I learned to deal with it for 1x red dot and irons. I had to cover my left eye with a patch or blacked out glasses lens to train my brain to deal with it, but it does work. I still prefer to cover one eye in some positions and situations.

I taught my family to shoot righty because it isnt that hard to shoot with your non-dominant hand and there are so many more options for right-handed rifles. IMO, for service rifles, it doesnt necessarily make sense to spend much engineering effort to accomodate 10% of users.

Now dont get me wrong: I sometimes switch sides for training, so I do appreciate ambidextrous controls on rifles and I detest shooting wrong-handed on some guns. I just dont think it needs to be a dealbreaker when you can train around it.

nato should have adopted the P90 cmv.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Do you watch Stargate, by chance?

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 12 hours ago

Yes, but long after watching the ahoy video on the P90.

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 3 points 22 hours ago

Holds up staff weapon

"This, is a weapon of terror. It's made to intimidate the enemy."

Casually tosses it aside and holds up P90

"This, is a weapon of war. It's made to kill your enemy."
