Will we see container ship based arsenal ships for first strike?

Some big container ships are 20k+ TEU (meaning 10k+ standard 40ft containers).

Take one of those. Each container holds 5-6 Shahed style drones. Internet claims range is at least 600mi.

Figure out some way of jettisoning empty containers.

Park the ship 500mi off of some coastal city. Fly them in low, stay under the radar as long as you can. 100mph cruise means you have 5 hours until certain detection, potentially less depending on luck. Hope to deplete your magazine before any counterattack.

Literally tens of thousands of drones from a single ship could wipe out/deplete any non-EW based countermeasures and devastate any metropolitan area. Coordinate a few locations at once for best luck.

Obviously this would have to be a surprise attack to start a war, once the war is active good luck getting close enough. It won't be cheap, it'd be one time use, but it could use "conventional" weapons to deliver thermonuclear level destruction.

Do we know of any countries trying to build ships like this?

Is there any way to get USP40 mags for non obscene amounts?

Close to a decade ago I bought an LEO trade-in USP40 with a single magazine.

Is there any way to pick up more magazines without spending 15%+ of what I paid to begin with, for gun with a mag? I knew HK stuff wasn't budget friendly but didn't expect that degree. My G3 mags have been stupid cheap, although I know their service life is limited.

battery/controller options

I have an electrically stock MX4 L1E that I bought from Gonped a couple years ago.

I'd love to get some extra power, without losing range while riding at lower speeds (I know fast kills battery).

What are the current good options for battery/controller? Or does anyone have a way of tuning the stock controller?

Velotric T1 ST brake lever

managed to bend a lever but everything works. I messaged Velotric and they only want to sell a complete assembly for 70 plus tax and shipping.

is there anywhere I can buy just a lever? I’d rather not have to bleed it, or spend that much.

it’s the other side that I need, front brake, but markings on that are scraped up.
