>>61199667Three digits could be a German manufacturer's code rather than a serial number?How does it look compared to the G98? Same bore diameter?
>>61199793Jesus christ. I just looked up that Futurama PS2 game I got for $60 ~5 years ago and the most recent SOLD listings minus the "choose game from list (euro/PAL only)" and an Australian list (blue box PAL) are:>$281.00 + $6.33 shipping, 11 bids>$156.50 + $5.62 shipping, 13 bids>$290.00 + $5.80 shipping, Buy It Now>$285.00 + $9.95 shipping, BIN>$277.00 + Free shipping, BIN>$277.00 + Free shipping, BIN>$277.00 + Free shipping (From Canada), BIN>$339.99 OBO (full price paid) + Free shippingDid I mention this game is really fucking hard, in a bad way? The platforming is awkward due to precise jumps/meh controls, a pretty unfair lives/checkpoint system, unfair enemy placement/design, slowdown due to too many enemies/projectiles, scarcity of ammo pickups, etc? It's not a great game. I just bought it to relive Blockbuster/Hollywood Video memories and I thought THAT was a lot, holy shit. Bring me back to $1-5 used case w/ manual PS2 game days. And I say this as someone who likes some other unfairly designed/poorly controlling games. PS2 era racing games come to mind; the rubberbanding is something else.>Captcha: JYPTDYeah I'll fucking say they were jypped. $300 for a PS2 game, holy fuck.
>>61200032As autistic as gun investing can be, it doesn't hold a candle to the video games/physical media "investors". At least a gun is a physical good that has its own value beyond its rarity.
>>61200056At a certain level, I understand video game collecting. I have a bunch of consoles myself; I was into it in like 2010-2015. There's some neat consoles or controllers I want. I have some weird accessories that I personally love using (ever used a fan cooled controller?). I have...an uncountable number of PS2 controllers. Everywhere they were available for $0.50-1, or even FREE, I picked up Sony brand controllers when I had the money because I knew they would wear out. I bought an N64 in Jungle Green with a matching controller. I have every console and console box I ever saw out for trash. I have a PS2 (fat) with a custom shell that someone tossed out; it was custom because the disc tray would die and stop opening, so they just made it top loading. But when we're at the point PS2 games are selling for retarded amounts and people are paying retarded amounts for THE MOST COMMON CONSOLE ON EARTH, I don't get it anymore.>Sony PlayStation 2 PS2 Slim SCPH-75001 Console System OEM Bundle Cords Tested: $94.99>Sony PlayStation 2 PS2 Fat Console System Bundle SCPH-50001 Controller Memory: $89.99Buy It Now+$11.20 shipping>Sony PlayStation 2 PS2 Slim - Tested Works w Controller & Memory Card & Chords!: US $90.00 US $12.05 USPS Ground Advantage; Was US $180.00Note this (pic) is the last listing...and one of those controllers included is a PS1 controller with busted sheathing. AFAIK they only made PS1 controllers with the gray cords. I never thought I'd see the day where vidya collecting would be so "ah know whut ai gawt". It wasn't too many years ago I would pick up: a stack of PS1 games, a PSOne, PS2s, a PSOne Box, DDR dance mats, PS2 games, xBox 360 games, xBox 360 controllers, PS2 cords, xBox 360 cords, fuck; even an Atari 2600 BOX, etc. out of the trash and at Spring/Fall cleanup days right at the curb. And yes every single one of those are real examples from memory.

BROSwho has the best deal on 223/5.56 right now?? Prefer 55 grain but 62 grain is fine too. Preferably with free shipping. Tendies is fine but I don’t necessarily wanna support them. Victory ridge sports has 500 cases, but it’s .223 55gr FMJBT instead of 5.56 FMJBT so not quite as good plus it’s like 80cpr after taxes, which stingsAny advice?

>>61170528Serious questionHow can you hold the Rhodesian and South African American flags alongside the Nazi ones?Both fought against Nazi germany. Ian Smith himself fought against the Germans and even assisted partisans after being shot down. Both nations also had very close relations with Israel and despite the segregationists polices, they still tolerated blacks to some extent, even going as far as spending what little resources in education, healthcare, and infrastructure to communities that didn’t have anything at all. Not to mention blacks made up large portions of their armies.
>>61199222This only appears contradictory if you believe in the bad faith characterization of Nazi Germany as the great historical boogeyman, hellbent on worldwide genocide against all foreign races. If you're intellectually honest, it's pretty clear that wasn't the case. If you're able to acknowledge that, it's not difficult to see how someone can sympathize with two pro-white, European states, decidedly taking on the whole world to secure sovereignty/supremacy, different as though they may be.Assuming you wanted an actual answer.
I want to start making embroidered patches. WTF do I do? I have a couple designs I haven't seen yet and it would be a good side hustle. No idea where to start

I love kydex overall as a material but that godawful clam shell edge+pop river look is poison to me. Like why have space age form fitting superplastic if it has to have a lip on it like an Ethiopian bush woman?
>>61196652Every once in a while I look at a Charly Bennica and I look at my "Rainy Day AK Fund" and weigh my choices but to date I only have a couple of customs and nothing on that tier (yet)
>>61199270>southern grind>emersonI was very disappointed with these two. In comparison, the Blood Oath Industries Pocket Fiend, while edgy named, was a nice find in the same 154CM with nice aluminum scales and the build quality was leagues better in hand for a hundred less. I got the the Bad Monkey on a sale so I don't feel too bad about it but I can't recommend their knives at full price.
>>61199669I don't know what my issue is. I just like over-priced tactical stuffI have 2 extrema ratio knives2 emerson knives2 pairs of palladium shoes
What do you guys know about “Imperial Sword Co. London” apparently they made knives and daggers but i cant find any info on them, they seem to have been defunct for a few years
why do none of the soldiers in day of the dead know how to aim? i don't think i saw even one of them aiming their weapon properly- in the scene from picrel you even see he's only hitting the zombies in the torso. why is this? don't these soldiers know to shoot for the head? the SWAT officers from dawn of the dead had actual aim, so why not these guys?
>>61198966Great take.
>>61198966Absolutely nailed it.
>>61196697do you think movies are real life?
>>61196697I thought it was a fun movie. That black guy dual wields Ruger Blackhawks I think? Shame the original dawn of the dead is so hard to find these days.
>>61196697George Romero was the equivalent of a shit-lib who hated "country folk" and "military type white dudes" as a result of vietnam etc. yet paradoxically portrays these people as the only surviors, the *sane* ones, and the only people semi-capable of rational reasonanyway, he always portrays the military as "airmen™" in all his films
I gotta ask, why are all the TD's open topped? Seems unhealthy
>>61199685All tank destroyers are just a result of trying to get limited manufacturing to specialize more towards anti-tank firepower. It wasn't even about the vehicle, it was more just that they wanted a big gun to be self propelled and then also considered some protection. The vehicle was usually something that was just already designed and being manufactured, getting the big gun fit to it was all they were planning on doing.They all had compromises based around just getting the gun in the field.
>>61199685Building on >>61199717, America had unrivaled industrial capacity but also the supply bottleneck of that production needing to cross an ocean compounded by relatively primitive logistics (Intermodal Containers and RO-RO vessels are both postwar inventions). Premium design features like powered turrets could be produced with minimal effect on delivery rate + cost while maximizing combat potential. Not limited to armor either - American strike aircraft fit powered turrets where foreign equivalents largely retained less effective flexible mounts.
>>61199963Any method of transporting an M4 can also transport an M10. The turret is okay.
the idea was that they'd be used like anti tank guns with engines
>>61199287>>61199343the pintle mounts were already a staple when the US was just entering the war and they hadnt yet realized air supremacy but assumed the enemy would have some control of the skies and so everything needed at least a .30, but preferably a .50, for self-defenseand while a single .50 is only a deterrent at best, a whole platoon with .50s pointed at the skies, and a whole platoon of half-tracks with their .50s doing the same, and every jeep in the vicinity with a .30 adding a tiny extra help, then your odds of producing a lucky hit go way upbut they were kept on the tank long after the luftwaffe was destroyed as an effective fighting force because it just so happened to be really good at fire supportthe .50 could easily punch through brick or sand bags and could be used to hose down enemy positonsa common modification was to remove the .50 from the back of the turret of the M4 and move it to the front so that the commander could fire it from inside the vehicle, preventing it from being used as an AA weapon entirely but making it superior in the ground role
Thoughts about China's Sniper grenade rifle?: https://youtu.be/Tvz8WrlE5a8?si=Ws0QAwqjN98Mg93h
>>61186992What do you mean? They are absolutely comparable. There are plenty of videos of drones going right through narrow gaps to fly into bunkers or spider holes. There's even some of drones slowing almost to a stop and then carefully navigating around nets and shit to do it. The guys lobbing these drones aren't even within LOS of the target so their risk of getting shot while doing this is minimal.
>>61196997You are smoking crack if you believe this lmao. The USAF, USN both have larger air forces than the Chinese do. The USN has 11 fucking carrier groups and China has a single aircraft carrier they bought from Ukraine and refurbished. The entire Chinese air force and navy could be wiped out in 48 hours or less from the start of hostilities and it would happen before any American ships were visible on the horizon. >>61197892You mean like the ASMs that the USN has been shooting down constantly off the coast of Yemen?
>>61189399>post china eat dog>incoherent unreadable third world screechingrmao
>>61188752To even get to the beach they have to be in the water for more than six hours - all within range of advanced missiles. I would be amazed if anything made it.
>>61200117just send enough bodies to pile up a 160km pontoon bridge
For me, it's the Knox-class. Definitely the best looking frigates ever put to sea - the central radar tower and the layout in general is so fucking cool. It's a shame how stealth these days forces everything into a generic and predictable design.What are some of /k/'s favorite warships?
>>61199973It is. The guns are just for things that aren't worth a missile.
>>61199968It can't get within line of sight of a hostile coastline, can't operate in brown waters and has no realistic means of landing significant numbers of personnel. It cannot operate in the Yellow Sea or the Persian Gulf, areas where two likely adversaries of the USA (Iran and North Korea) have almost total littoral dominance. It would be a good corvette if you were Sweden ignoring the cost as the Baltic is the only real combat environment where it would be worth a damn. In that case it would be highly useful very good (it is a VERY good floating data cater which i think is the reall purpose) and if that is the 'littoral' mission then more power (and money) to it. As a shallow water vessel it is a joke.

>>61199888If you're willing to swap units not too badBut you gotta get released by your current oneYou should just pick a good MOS and unit from the start, it's worth the research and phone calls
>>61199907See the thing is I'm a 19D and I literally just found out during the last week of basic that the Army is scarping us. That being said I was told NG guys would be transitioning last but still I hope maybe I could use it as a way to switch my MOS fast.
