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.

Don't use a .50 cal round as a hammer.
Don't ziptie a Claymore to the grill of your truck.
Don't eat the C4.
Do not load the rocket launcher with a sledgehammer.
spoiler
When you're loading 122mm rockets into your 120mm launcher.
Precision engineering.
Don't eat the C4.
What if I wanna taste the forbidden dough
Among field troops in Vietnam it became common knowledge that ingestion of a small amount of C-4 would produce a "high" similar to that of ethanol. Others would ingest C-4, commonly obtained from a Claymore mine, to induce temporary illness in the hope of being sent on sick leave.
I feel like group number 2 is a lot closer to reality.
Group number 2 was certainly in for an unpleasant time.
C-4 has toxic effects on humans when ingested. Within a few hours multiple generalized seizures, vomiting, and changes in mental activity occur.
Just wait until you find out what happens in the field during a war
Oh, I'm aware. Much like intentionally losing part of your leg to trenchfoot in a desperate attempt to get out of being mowed down by a barrage of bullets or burned alive by mustard gas or chloramine.
It's still not a pleasant time, though.
They might be off about the temporary part and possibly the illness part if that turns into injury instead but other than that spot on.
Huh. Not as bad as I expected. Also I am somehow not surprised that this has actually been done enough to be documented
Documented? They print a warning on the block packaging now.
Amazing. I feel like there is a similar story (of the "why would you even do that ?" variety) behind this label as with the MAS-36 bayonet hole
Don't use a .50 cal round as a hammer.
I mean, if you don't use the primer as the hammer face, it'll be ok aside from the fact that they don't weigh enough to drive in a pin/nail. I'd try the bullet tbh, it'll be the heaviest part, but you'll really probably need at least like a, idk, 8oz impliment, and one round of .50bmg is about 1.5oz.
I wonder how often this happened
You see Ivan when you hammer nail like this, you never have to shoot again
Oh so this is why russian ammo dumps are always blowing up.
Oh, it does. ONACHO to all of you this fine Wednesday!
(I know you're joking but) "Opasno" - "It's dangerous."
¡Sposiba!
As if it would work as expected
Now I really need to see it happens
