What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.
>>64746392The problem is "in Europe" is like saying "in North America", it's not the same thing if you are in Romania, France, Finland, Serbia or Spain.In many countries of Europe, getting a license take time, but grant you access to many regulars calibers, .357, 38, 9mm, 45, 44.In countries like France, Finland, Italy, Czechia, Switzerland, Bosnia, it even allows access to semi-auto rifles in their respective calibers, so authentic AR-15, AKM, FAL, whatever, as long it's not surplus because they fear you may try to put back the full-auto mode with illegal imports.So honestly, if you're not a felon, get a license. You will soon have to worry more about the budget than the guns you can buy.An old pic, but here's my collection in France after 2 years of legal licensing. I had to step back a bit because my wallet could not handle it.Remember: if shtf, they suppose to come and get the guns back, but they will not be able to. Ask Belfast how much grab worked when they tried during the Troubles.However, there indeed some countries with terribles gun laws, UE or not. I'm thinking of UK outside NI, Romania, and oddly enough, Russia. Bizarre bans, very long waiting time, impossible to get a license in some places. In this case, if you don't go illegal, turn to non-firearm weapons.
>>64759568Very based anon, I'm glad you have a nice collection of cool guns.
>>64746392prepping requires food and emergency supplies, not 5 slight variations of the semi-automatic rifle that wasted money better spent on food and emergency supplies
>>64746392besides other items or weapons an accurate pellet gun with higher energy suitable for very small animals like rats or birds should be in the inventory.
the first question should be what you are prepping for.in any case the best thing you can do is gtfo from urban areas, find some small town of about 1-2k people in a sparsely populated area.you'll have just about every service and skill set you'd need to survives long term, a small enough community to not turn apes hit straight away and large enough for local authority to keep some semblance of control.also there's food production in rural areas that will keep you fed for at least the first year.if you are in a rural area, start a garden, get some chickens and rabbits, get a hunting license and some hunting rifles/shotguns.get to know the locals, your neigbours, the local doctor and vet, some other hunters, some farmers (just ask if you can shoot rabbits on their fields, they tend to love free pest control).if SHTF you are playing on easy mode.if S doesn't HTF you have a good fulfilling life>I can't afford thatif you go past an hour from a major population center land and homes become dirt cheap.those areas also tend to be older and in need of care givers. so retrain as a nurse, there's programs to fund your retraining everywhere across Western Europe. you'll also pick up some useful first aid skills.there's towns and villages half an hour from Strasbourg where 50k will buy you a home with a yard and barn.
How are Norden submarines so stealthy?
>>64759465The exercise would be pointless if the surface commander were to issue a directive stating "German sub entering search area from S-SW". The idea is to detect it starting from a completely unknown position. In an actual combat situation, the enemy won't be courteous enough to announce their approach vector.
>>64759625Sure. But the nature of exercises gives submarines, and specifically diesel submarines, a huge advantage. This goes double for international exercises where you might not want to show every card in your hand, even to allies
>>64759635That's because those types of exercises are intended to replicate a surface action group or carrier battlegroup operating closer to the coast, where SSKs might be lurking. So some provision is given to the diesel boat, in order to actually reach the staging point.
>>64759635The old type 206 doesn’t have much endurance in them, being traditional diesel electric, so their chance of catching a CSG in the open ocean, or even anywhere that isn’t right off the coast is slim.That said, an exercise like this is still valuable, since the modern DE with AIP engine will likely be much faster with longer endurance overall, so you can’t rely on the same trick of waiting until the sub battery is fully exhausted, as the case with older DE anymore
>>64759322Shhh there’s no room for nuance in 2001 + 25, just shit flinging
Wait, so .380 is quite literally all you need?
Proverbially as well.
>>64757664No. .380 is roughly equivalent to .38 Special, which beat cops figured out was NOT enuff back in, like, the 30s. Their solution was .357 Magnum, which in theory IS quite literally all you need, except putting a rimmed cartridge in an automatic makes engineers cry tears of liquid dimethylmercury. 9mm and .38 Super (basically the same thing) are close enuff when you factor in rapid fire out of an automatic plus big magazine.
>>64758934Ooh, I have one of those! Check it out!
>>64757664Yes. Love my Bersa

>>64756634.35 rem is like 120 years old and you can get a henry 336 in .35 rem (I think it's only in the all brass receiver though).marlin made 336s in .35 rem since like the 50s or something. it's been a meme for a while. marlin guns also just look better than Henry guns. for some reason henry just makes the ugliest guns known to man. the only Henry gun that looks nice is the engraved? wildlife model that's only in .30-30 with the gold deer or .45-70 with the elk and bear and even then the stock on the .30-30 looks worse than a marlin 336 stock.
>>64756670>the only Henry gun that looks nice is the engraved?The one I saw is not engraveed, it's a "fancy" rcvr cover with roll embossing, that adds bulk and rattles. Not worth the price and looks gaudy.
>>64756815I'm pretty sure the steel wildlife version is engraved on the receiver. Granted the only part that looks nice is the receiver
BASED I love 35 caliber cartridges.

There is a rescue boat waiting for you on the coast. Between you and the boat is every carnivorous dinosaur from Jurassic Park films. You have one gun and all the ammo you can carry for that gun. What gun would you use?
>>64756921>One of the things I liked about the ending of the Mist is that yeah, big fleshy monsters vs army is going to end really badly for the monsters not just because the difference in firepower but the strategic planning to bring that firepower to bear with minimal casualtiesyou'd probably like dog soldiers as well
muh dik
>>64756921Based. Yeah that was one of the better reveals against viewer expectations, normally the way these things go is natives get overwhelmed and the military experiment dooms the world unless maybe one hero stops it or shit like that. Muh despair muh postapoc. Honestly was pretty damn cool and more refreshing then I would have expected to have it instead just go>"actually no, military is competent and mops these little shits up no problem, what's that you civvies panicked and murdered each other or anheroed or something rather then just run or hang tight for a bit and trust in the US military? wow sucks to be you retard."

>>64759500Honestly, you guys need to exert control over your continent (IE, sphere of influence), and its unnerving that the EU that is incapable of this. The EU has x7 the population of Russia, and what, x10 the economy? It should be posturing against Russia, testing Russia's airspace, funding and supporting separatist elements in Russia. Russia should be terrified that the EU will deploy 250,000 troops into Eastern Ukraine and rout them under the safety of a Franco-Anglo nuclear umbrella.....but this is not the case. The EU needs to become dangerous. In the words of a LA gangster, "You can't be safe here, safes get cracked. You gotta be dangerous".
>>64759824fear only works when the opponent has something to lose.putin and his cabal do not care how many russians die, as long as they remain in charge.
>>64759862Then I suppose Russia has already won.

Realistically, what firearm would you need to take down a rampaging Na'vi from the Avatar films? Nine feet of solid muscle and bone (reinforced with natural carbon fibre), extremely fast-moving and agile, fighting on their own turf with very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut it, would 7.62mm be enough?

Back in june italy was pondering about the possibility of developing a nuclear carrier. Back then it was still considered too ambitious of a an endeavour and quite hefty on the navy budget, but with the current increase in tensions between europe and the usa i believe it will be accomplished. Now, what i wonder is: will the nuclear rearmament of italy influence other nations as well?https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/navy-news/2025/italy-evaluates-nuclear-powered-aircraft-carrier-under-long-term-naval-modernization-strategy
>>64752911you can't blame US when italy got psyop'd into ending their civilian nuke program through "activists". and if they don't have civ nuke program, they aren't getting nuke aircraft carrier
One of the few times that working with the F*nch would be worthwhile.
>>64752911Buddy back then if you had the slightest idea how Italy was you would have been antsy about them having anything more than surplus Carcanos. Place was absolutely riddled with pinkos from top to bottom.
>>64759784It's not much different today

>>64759704I had a "gunsmith" do a total hack job on a 1911 I gave him once. All he was doing was switching out novak sights for tritium novak sights and when I got it back from him it was shooting way off and ftfing all of a sudden. I think the front sight he used was too short but that doesn't explain the ftfs
>>64759767hmmm was it a high dollar 1911?can any anon confirm if some gunsmiths sometimes do the jeweler switcharoos? maybe he replaced some of the components on your gun?

>>64747223it is unbelievably heavy for what it is, and its fire rate on fun switch models is unnecessarily high for anyone outside of a handful or people that had a need for it. It's outclassed by many other guns in smaller packages.
It's a heavy, expensive and unusually proportioned gun that relies more on its substantial weight than its gimmick operating system for recoil reduction. t. CRB owner
