This is nonsense.

the Tu-4; It is obviously based on the B-29, that is not denied by anyone, however there are major differences in their construction.

Soviet engineers were tasked with reverse-engineering the several B-29s the USSR had in it’s possession; impounded USAF bombers (under the terms of the 1941 Soviet-Japanese Neutrality treaty) which were forced to land in Soviet territory after flying bombing missions against Japan.
The B-29’s fuselage was made of an 1/16 inch thick plates, or 1.5875 mm. The Soviets used a metric system, so there was no way or logic to produce/use such plates, only 1.5 or 1.6mm. This meant that it could not be applied directly to the original B-29 plans because of mass, length and rigidity changes in the air-frame. So Tu-4 air-frame was redesigned, (increasing and redefining size and dimensions) with the plating being made of 1.8 and 0.8mm plates.
Other differences also existed. The Tu 4 used 20mm guns in its defensive mounts, and later mounted 23mm guns, (both of which were far more effective at defense, having a longer range, able to contend in distance with the 30 and 25 millimeter guns of fighters of the time), and with a heavy enough hit to seriously damage attackers with explosive force, rather than the cleanly punched holes the .50 M2 left. Or the engines; the Tu-4’s ASh-73 radial engines were not copies of the B-29’s Wright R-3350 “Duplex Cyclone” radial engines as is often (falsely) claimed. The two engines were in fact separately developed from the same “grandparent”: the R-3350 was an evolutionary development of the Wright R-1820 Cyclone engine, whereas the ASh-73TK was an evolutionary development of the Shvetsov M-25 which was a licensed copy of that same engine. This common ancestry meant that many parts were similar or even interchangeable between the two engines, but the only component of the Duplex Cyclone engine which the Soviets actually copied was the turbo-supercharger unit. The Tu-4s engines did not include the R-3350’s lightweight magnesium-alloy crankcase, which increased weight but also eliminated the Duplex Cyclone’s infamous tendency towards engine fires so catastrophically hot that they could melt the wing spars in literal seconds. The differences are seen in capability as well. The Tu-4 was about 750kg heavier, 10 mph slower (big difference that is) and carried only 6000kg (Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Use it as a blunderbuss and praise Stalin?
I dunno what do you want us to say?

is that a PCP gun? you can get some joules out of those, sometimes enough to kill a man if you get a good hit

I heard Wagner give their recruits wet noodles instead of guns. Is this true?

>NaOH and aluminium
doesn't sound as bad as
>HCl and zinc
both should explode due to buildup of H2 gas. hot HCl is almost surely worse than hot NaOH. however:
>KOH and aluminium
potassium lye is quite aggressive. neither of these are deadly. if you want be really dangerous you should do
>HCl and TCCA
this will build up Cl2 gas which, apart from exploding, will be in deadly concentrations within around a meter of the blast radius, depending on the mass of ingredients. in a confined space this will be far worse

Ingredients:
-A moderately thick glass bottle that will shatter on impact but won't break in your hands
-A rag made of flammable fabric cut into strips
-Some sort of fuel with a syrup-y consistency if you want it to stick well (a good formula is dissolving styrofoam in acetone and mixing the resulting solution with an equal amount of gasoline; the Finns that coined the term Molotov cocktail thickened their gasoline with roofing tar)
1. Fill the bottle with the fuel in an open air or ventilated space
2. Tape a strip of rag around the neck to protect your hands from the heat
3. Shortly before you plan on throwing it, dip one half of a long rag strip into the fuel while the stuffing the other half in the neck of the bottle, plugging it while leaving about 5 cm hanging out
4. Light the rag and throw

This only works if you expect the invaders to occupy instead of just killing you. The US pissed around for two decades making opium, if they wanted to kill every single Afghan man, woman, and child the war would have been over in a year.

>>2812
You do realize almost all wars are fought to occupy a country, not commit total genocide

>Flags like, it's a flag, but attached to a relatively thick wooden stick
like the ones our Greek comrades like to carry in the front rears of their demonstrations
as you can see they're also big into motorcycling

fashoids will never attack an org meeting cause they are opportunistic druggies ,they will either muster forces and attack an antifascist rally in hopes of coming out of it as the victims or a random girl handing out leaflets putting up posters , you will very rarely get into a pre planned fight with a fasch

Security:put up a large guy or two in the door ,same thing in a public meeting make sure you have enough guys to defend yourself and lookouts

>>2643
My first thought will be to evaluate the risks, and prepare defense against the most plausible ones.
Why would fascists be the first one to attack?
I would think the government would be, that's how it rolls here anyway.

Flag is too large

2nd vid is what a regular PVC sparkler pipe bomb can do.

I lost the .pdf but there's a US intelligence document from directly after WW2 outright stating the Soviets very well have the capability to overrun Europe to the Atlantic to little or no resistance, but they speculate they're avoiding doing so due to concerns about their capability to hold said territory in the long term.

Remember that most of the anti-axis resistance in Europe at the time were loyal communists. Actually after WW2 the French resistance kept asking the Soviets for permission to revolt. But the Soviets by that point had pretty much abandoned world revolution and were doing what they could to try and maintain peace with the capitalist world.

>>2722
Pretty much this
While, yes, the Soviets very well could have won the Cold War by heating it up early, you have to remember these are pretty much pipe dreams and alt-history scenarios. Stalin's main concerns at the time were to cuck to the Allies at every turn, not world communism. Even in Eastern Europe, what would later become the Warsaw Pact was more of a proxy zone to secure every potential route into the USSR in case of an invasion.
The way the USSR could have won the Cold War would have been to avoid it entirely along with WW2, if things had gone a little bit different in Warsaw, 1920 we'd be living in a completely different timeline.

>prepare for world war III by 1950

How much could the Soviets do in that time while recovering from the 2nd world war tho?

The question is to win the Cold War so maybe they don't have to sweep all of mainland Europe but just enough to where the Capitalist powers would be weakened and eventually fall, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

> they get nuked to shit.
In 1950 the USA barely had a couple A-bombs, and the only plane capable of carrying them were special B-29s that had a modified bomb bay. That is in part the reason for initial nuclear attack plans of the USA to be canceled. That's not to mention that the B-29s were fodder for the MiG-15, and the MiG-15 v F-86 air combat had the MiG coming out on top 3/4s of the time. The only problem in the 4chan post is that the USSR itself was not ready to fight a sustained, multi-front war like that, and definitely not China, or is everyone forgetting the impact of WW2 on those 2 countries.

The snipe in the 4chan post about popular front vs united front is ignorant, as the reason popular front got utilized is because most revolutionary states not in the WARSAW Pact were Asian & Latino countries that had markedly lower development and differing culture. The USSR supported grass roots movements across the globe, NATO countriess like the USA, UK & France crushed many like Guatemala, Malaysia, Pakistan and attempted the same in Korea, Vietnam & Cuba.

> Stalin's main concerns at the time were to cuck to the Allies
His main concerns were to rebuild the country and get it back on its feet, something that a multi-front war was incompatible with. Not to mention that the people were tired of war.

They all suck.
Better off using compressed air or black powder if you're going with the most basic firearms possible.

>>2561
A Gauss Rifle, you're talking about a Gauss Rifle.

>>2619
a compressed air/propane gas gun might actually work though

you just reinvented the railgun, you fucking genious
