World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Lol
So...
Just average Cybertrucks?
Also, I sure as fuck hope they know to remove batteries from EVs too
I'm sure the military will do their usual job of being very concerned about the environment and minimizing pollution.
/s
Lol, because insurgents will prefer a truck that needs to be charged out in the open for hours over one that can be filled using jerrycans.
Electric vehicles are great, but I doubt the Tesla supercharger network extends to wherever the air force expects to be bombing people next.
California?
Fuck.
I wonder if they're working on targeting that'll avoid those stupid things.
How many Hiluxes do you think insurgents could buy for the price of one Cybertruck?
A fleet.
Generator.
I hardly know her!
I watched a gun youtuber shoot one up for science. As one would expect for a consumer vehicle, any and all military calibers like 5.56 passed through it like hot butter.
It did....
But 5.56 is dogshit at penetration. Like, a normal car does pretty well against it, but the cyber truck is just that bad against it.
It has less penetration than handgun calibers, and one of the reasons it's recommended for home defense is an interior wall that's basically just two sheets of drywall could stop it.
There's a reasons gangstas use AKs and not ARs...
Why would anyone use a 5.56 for home defense they seem significantly worse at clearing rooms than a handgun especially considering it is incredibly unlikely a home invader would ever have body armour on.
Also obviously this is not the best source in the world but it shows 5.56 going through 9 1/2 walls which is again atrocious for home defense
“Though the 5.56 bullets showed the most deformation, they were also terribly penetrative (19 panels, or nine walls) and, beyond the first two or three panels, created relatively large holes as they tumbled along their paths.”

People do, for the reasons I said, and others. I don't agree with it, but it's a thing.
Because your source says:
That's not going thru 9 1/2 walls, that's tumbling like 2 feet after initial contact.
Like, that's not reflected well in your source, it's got magtech 10mm (kind of the "hot" production load) barely beating out basic bitch 9mm...
And 357 less than the 9mm?
There are very obvious flaws with whatever that guy was doing
The only reason you listed was its lack of penetration but it seems that it does still over penetrate and the effect of the longer firearm is a major flaw for home defense.
so if you wanted an actual gun that didn’t over penetrate a handgun with frangible ammo is the much more logical weapon, is it not?
Compared to drywall the effect of air resistance is negligible so the spacing on the dry wall sheets is essentially irrelevant.
Then that tells me the cybertruck is even more dogshit at stopping bullets than I thought it was! 🤣
Not all 5.56 bullets are the same. I've got 75 grain bonded core that'll penetrate walls just fine and M855A1 if more penetration is needed. Shit, even run of the mill M193 will defeat level 4 plates out of a 20" barrel.
If you just increase the mass by 20% shove a solid dense core in then it does better!
/s
Wildy, just wildly untrue...
To be certied level 3, you need to stop a m193
Like by the very definition of level IV, it can stop m193
Who is telling you this stuff and why were you believing them?
This isn't secret or even hard to obtain information
Lol. Okay 👌
I hope they don't.
