I don't understand why people like them. They were often criminals and drunkards and used to be more of a threat to civilians than to enemy soldiers. Their most fearsome weapon was the black plague they carried all over europe.

Landsknecht mercenaries are admired not because they were particularly badass forces, but because they were colorful and culturally pervasive. More militarily impactful forces like swiss mercenaries or professional spaniards are dour in comparison. Though IMO the semi-democratic organization of the swiss is underappreciated as a successful social-militaristic system.

>>62084030It's not a competency crisis, it's a regulation crisis. It's cheaper for Boeing to have accidents than to actually take care of their shit.

>>62090502Well, white boomers are the ones who think regulations are evil and that profits are god. So shit will probably get better because younger generations here typically value crazy things like “safety” and generally aren’t scum sucking money-grubbers.

>>62091386I mean, the west isn't much better. It's all smiles and cooperation until you stop paying the US tax and you start getting threats of removal of things you're dependant on like the stopping of military supplies until you do.Geopolitics in government form is and always has been about grabbing and taking what you can from others either through diplomacy, threats or violence. China isn't really much different even if if prefer their online state propaganda department glassed.

>>62088758Funny thing is, no one really mentions the massive pump n dump that Russia is doing right now to get people into the military, hands on tools in factories, burning through fucking millions daily to pay for it all, they have no stockmarket, the ruble is super-fucked to the point NO ONE will trade it (yuan or rupee do needful only) and inflation on some produce is 50% higher than last year as inflation from the pumping is going mental.They can also ignore that they have to talk to faggots like the Norks just to scrape up some shitty 122mm shells and sucked off Iran to show them how to build a 1970's scooter motor powered fucking droneI was in Ukraine in 2014 when some shit started kicking off and while I do genuinely like Ukrainians, some of them I'm related to and the country is ripe with potential. >They're still poorNot Africa, destitute niggas poor or anything, just an industrialised, heavily agrarian country like mine used to be in the 1970's, we extracted and grew stuff, did a little building stuff but for the most part it wasn't hugely destitute or wealthy. They didn't have much left of a military, it was as-bad or slightly worse than Russia is right now and if someone had half a brain, Ukraine would have been absorbed into Russia without a shot fired.Even when I saw that country at its lowest point, people would still look out for you, make sure you're ok, bit embarrassed about how things have gone to shit but no one was giving up on Ukraine 10 years ago and they're unlikely to ever change that for one often ignored reason->got a sniff of the western lifestyleYou didn't have to be living in a shithouse country with no future like a Russian or suffer for no reason. You pull yourself up, bring your neighbourhood up, your town, your oblast and your country one fucking step at a time and its a struggle.

>>62092731there is no upper limit on how much you can spend with this hobby, just get a gat in 6.5 cuckmoor and put a cheap ass scope on it if your not sure. A ruger american and a discount 10x won't set you back significantly and it will absolutely whet your appetite. Assuming your not a eurocuck the options you have depend on the state you live in. Most western states should have decent 1,000 exposures on public land, but most based people are going to be protective of good spots.

>>62092018Yeah but I'm on a bit of a sojourn from my usual shitposting habitat :)That and school holidays kept me busy with the kids, cows and sheep to go hang out with my group of mates>>62092706Sort of the backup plan for a lot of overland exploration and trips that ended up going awry, there was also a group headed west into I think it was the Rocky Mt's in the US that ended up with a lot of dead people and one guy who wasn't nearly as emaciated as you might expect after spending 4months in a cave snowed in.We also have a thing here for useless fuck explorers apart from the criminal ones, like the Burke and Wills Expedition were one guy came back from it all haggard and fucked up while the rest got lost, sick, starved or messed up along the way. It was notable because this wasn't like the 1700's were you expected some dumb shit white guys to half-arse it and die because they were rubbish at navigating- this was a proper fully funded expedition in the 1860's!So most of the continent was virtually unexplored and properly mapped even into the 1940's when actual overland vehicles were invented, because everyone else just got lost as a motherfucker and died in some of the most intense conditions outside of somewhere like the Sahara. Which is really what kills people in Australia, the sun, the heat and dehydration, we don't have those large animals running around like big bears or cats to wreck people- except crocodiles but they're only up the top parts.The last uncontacted tribe was found in 1984-5 or thereabouts that had never met white people and didn't have much to do with other blackfellas either, I think letting off a nuke in the 1950's also chased out a few other's that no one had ever heard of either.
>>62091642>supermax for the worst of the worst like people who poached one rabbit
>>62093486Well, like Americans reallyThey had to send them somewhere when the old dumping ground for criminal delinquents touching the KINGS RABBIT, not paying taxes, looking a bit weird, being Irish and since the America's was in turmoil, sending more of them over was sort of like throwing petrol on a fire. Australia is basically the USA's fault, if they had kept paying taxes, getting fucked with no representation and throwing tea, there wouldn't have been a need for Australia. Except the FrenchThe French had some ideas about settling here so they had to get told to go suck a bread stick because they'd already fucked up Europe and clearly couldn't be trusted with anything nice.Now Australia as a French colony... or Spanish, or Portugese or god help everyone, the Dutch.We'd be still throwing spears at each other and practically Africa or at best maybe Argentina! Then people would really have something to complain about

>>62093381Highly unlikely to the point that a lone gunman isn't considered a threat. Polearm guy deals with rowdy locals and disrespectful tourists and the odd schizo among them trying to break in, possibly with a knife. On the off chance there is a guy with a gun, there's an armed response team sitting a couple hundred yards away at most. The Vatican is only like 1000 yards across at it's longest, there's effectively zero response time for backup because they're literally right there.

Inspired by another thread. Dedicated thread to post your groups.Over 100 yards edition.
>>62089188>But then any rifle is going to be greater than MOA if you shoot a big enough group. Precisiom shooting boomers will fall into this trap all the time>Oh I shit a 10 round group and it's 3 moa the gun must be 3 moa And then you see the group and it's a 1 moa group with a few flyers. The rifle is accurate you just flinched lol.
>>62084571How fucking accurate do you expect M855 to be mr. I-can-be-anything-on-the-internet-my-parents-pay-for-so-I'm-going-to-say-I-get-sub-MOA-shots? Post groups faggot
>>62089877>I don't think a single group will ever tell you anything unless its like 20-30 shots.At a certain point you start to get diminishing returns and the variable stacking can create erroneous data. I've found 5 rounds is a good middle ground between consistency and thoroughness.
>>62089877Groupings should be made with the least amount of shooter error possible in a machine rest with store bought match ammo at best and surplus milspec ammo at worstThen take that data and compare it to actually good shooters
>>62093452Which is exactly why i use median group size over several 5 round groups.
what the fuck is this shit.
>>62091159have you tested it with the upper off?just to see if the mag is locking in or not?
>>62077352>Stuck with irons, fixed mag, no attachments unless you want to bubba itSKS community are purist snobsAnything you do to it that changes it from stock is "bubba"I blued the bolt carrier because I didn't like the silver look and people screamed at me and tore their hair out, it's my gun I can paint it pink if I wanted too.Just ignore them.You can easily attach flashlight or laser to the barrel, attachments for this cost like $2 on Ali expressMany aftermarket magazines are available without modifying the gun, but I would highly recommend just using clips, clips are superior to magazines (fight me) If you want a red dot get the bad ace adapter, replaces the back sight and allows you to still use clipsIf for some retarded reason you want to put a scope on a 3moa rifle, get the pu scope intended for the svt-40https://youtu.be/Xaf6oh12_Mo?si=j08Tv3GIfXnAxdIiIt will require you to cut the stock and drill the actual SKS but it's the best scope mount possible and maintains original iron sights and clip leading
>>62074642>Mini 14Fantastic rifles overall, insanely durable and available in factory stainless... As others have mentioned the factory sights are garbage. Also they ding up your brass so bare that in mind if you're ever going to reload your own carts. The older ones don't really have any good options for mounting optics and have horribly inaccurate pencil barrels. Spare parts for the older ones can be very difficult to find as well, specifically the bolt. Aftermarket is expensive however with good quality and options. Accuracy systems, John masen, tech sights, and cogburn arsenal are good places to start if you want to customize.>M1 garandNever had one but if I lived in a ban state that's probably what I would go with.

Ceramic tiles from a hardware store duck taped together with computer paper backing inside an AliExpress plate carrier will save your life for $10. Can do handguns and even shotgun slugs but can't take rifle roundsA $20 geology pick hammer is small enough for close quarters indoor combat and breaching
>>62086844>No one is using rifles in close quartersRifles dominate in close quarters you fag
>>62088831>>62086844I'm saying its a dumb idea like OP's.A ceramic tile from the store isn't stopping anything unless you build into a layered system that prevents it just shattering.
Fiberglass is the shit for DIY armor. You can add ceramics to the resin, but they need to be micro or nano sized and magnetically stirred.
