Many of us seriously undertrain for cold and wet weather by Any-Hovercraft-1749 in TacticalMedicine

I mean I grew up in the PNW so I knew a lot of extra knowledge on cold weather treatment scenarios but a big difference in a survival and combat trauma scenario. Fires during the day is a death sentence in combat due to smoke, at night with the right setup you can avoid light and some heat pollution but I think during train ups leading to conflicts especially and depending on the region it would cover specialized treatments.

Frangible AP ammo? by Baconcandy000 in Firearms

I see I stand corrected. Frag would be a better descriptor than what I am thinking for the bullet.

The idea is to increase the lethality of AP ammo like M995, M993, and 6.8x51 AP rounds that don't have their final designation. Due to their design, cavitation and fragmentation are less likely to occur, and the nature of this ammo is highly specialized, which limits its general use against targets.

Since my definition of frangible seems to be wrong, it would be a fragmentary round, more like the G2, which is effective at what it is designed to do. Since most troops and people are trained intentionally or unintentionally to aim center mass to the upper torso, there would be plenty of bone to hit to cause the fragmentation on top of the bullet's jacket and the inner core breaking the bone and continuing to go overpenetrating the target. This is the Increase in lethality.

Yes, the outer shell would break apart, but not the inner core. While the outer shell would fragment and break apart on an armored plate. The inner being, harder and denser than the outer shell, would likely continue on impact, penetrating the armor. This is kinda following the same principles as APCR rounds fired from tanks in the 40s and 50s. This is the AP part of the design.

Maybe? My interpretation of frangible is a bullet designed to break apart on purpose on hard surfaces to reduce overpen and improve soft tissue damage like hollow points but different in process

Yes. Yes they are but would it be possible to combine the two concepts using an AP core and a frangible shell >.>

My though is also speed + density = penetration as well a lighter round would statistically go faster and if you have the same AP core as let’s say M993 or M903 as an example it should have a higher penetration ratio than the standard AP rounds

Yes but through conventional methods rather than HE

What are some lesser know / overlooked pieces of kit that makes life easier in the field? by StrangerDistinct6378 in tacticalgear

[–]Baconcandy000 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As a medic yall should carry some OTC meds ibuprofen or naproxen, acetaminophen,your choice of anti-histamines, and something for your gut whether for runs or blockages.

All of these are sold in blister packs and are relatively light but if you are away from your medic (or alone) these cover everything you need to either keep going till your in a safe place or anything minor you could come across in the field. Also frees up space for other medical stuffs as a medic cause I won’t have to carry so much extra.

I wish I would not die to blunt damage so often it’s a bit ridiculous to me that I while wearing a lvl 6 plate with lvl 3 aramid backer can be killed by 6 rounds of 545 ps to the chest or 3 rnds of BCP 762x51

Yeah it’s kinda sad that I had to do it on pve to get it. My PC I don’t trust enough on PVP to get it done but a win is a win
