I think that China could do absolutely untold damage to the American psyche and illusion of invulnerability if it simply instantly obliterated these clowns on Taiwan from hundreds of kilometers away with a cloud of drones dense enough to block out the sun. America treats the navy seals like they are all Master Chief, when in reality they are just guys who can carry a log and swim for a long time or some shit. Maybe that matters when you’re like… raiding a compound of a guy who has been on the run for decades while he’s asleep with Neon Genesis Evangelion playing on the TV, but genuinely what are these guys going to do to actually fight back against China? China will never even let them see a single PLA soldier lmao.

    I want that thing so badly.

    Nato and wpact armies handled the distribution of heavy weapons differently. Idk how former wpact countries that aren't nato do things but back in the day the soviets tended to have weapons attached to smaller units while nato weapon teams were at platoon level. I have absolutely zero idea how the pla is structured.

    The grenade sniper rifle is cool bc you could accurately fuck up ground robots, lightly armored and unarmored vehicles, expensive stuff, and other targets with accurate fire from much further than an infantry grenade launcher but without the weight and expense of a missile or mortar system. There are weapons like 12.7mm, 14.5mm, and 20mm rifles in the same space but they're not widely used. If the qlu-11s airburst capabilitiy actually works it'd have somewhat more utility than a conventional rifle.
