A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.

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...
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.
1 in 22 Dodge Ram 2500 drivers have DWI's
To be fair, no one outside of the US really buys anything in that f150 size or bigger
When we need big we get a van for all-rounder stuff, or whatever specialised truck is required for the profession.
Eurofighter ftw.
The saying remains: European rifles are amazing unless you're left handed.
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.
I think they mean the bullpups fling hot brass into your arm if you shoot lefty.
The famas could be set to eject to whichever side you preferred.
Lol at the one random downvote.
"I don't like rifles that eject cases, they should be recycled!"
I get downvoted any time I make a comment that lets on I know things about guns.
... 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.
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.
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.
Do you watch Stargate, by chance?
Yes, but long after watching the ahoy video on the P90.

"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."
