I was reading about this guy and he had over 350+ kills. Why does this make me jealous?
>>64751009target rich environment, and being kept on the front line for 4 years straightHartmann's true skill was survival, he didn't stick around to die if the initial pass didn't go well. He also got shot down a couple of times (total of 16 crashes to all causes, go figure how many were credited as kills to some russian) so his true k/d is lower.>>64751027the americans pulled aces off the front to go teach new guys, the germans just kept them flying till they died. naturally a bunch of good pilots managed to survive for a long time and rack up insane kill counts, at the expense of a lot of noobs getting pasted
>>64751123>total of 16 crashes to all causesThey say it wasn't his fault. He lived a comfy life in USA after that
>>64751009better planesbetter tactics
>>64751133>He lived a comfy life in USA after thatyeah? how many combat flights did he make for the rest of his life?>>64751123>the americans pulled aces off the front to go teach new guys, the germans just kept them flying till they diedhalf trueAllied aces were kept in flight squadrons and remained operationally active, check out how many of the top Allied aces were KIA or POWthey did fly less however and they did spend more time teachingwhat really mattered is the Allies emphasised teamwork tactics e.g. the Thach Weave, whereas the Luftwaffe tended to let rookies die and let the aces rack up kills
He was just good at attacking rookies in a methodical manner while not getting into a peer fight or worse, a non-peer fight against him.If we still fought wars where each side made thousands of fighters per year and threw them at each other then you'd see lots of pilots with his kill record.

I just got a high paying job and in celebration I'm going to update my arsenal. Pls give input on my choices for these roles and let me know if there's something better:>Ruger SFAR as main DMR rifle, open to other short receiver .308 ARs or a .308 bullpup>M&P9 or 10mm Witness as handgun, I do live in grizzly country and this will be my primary HD/clearing gun>Kel Tec RDB as building clearing/HD rifle>KSG as HD shotgun>Mossberg Aftershock as drone gun to be worn on a scabbard, can also double as bear gun with slugs>300WM rifle as sniper (undecided but either a cheapo Savage bolty or go all in and get a Desert Tech SRS for $6k)Already have my carry guns set and most of the common rifles for range funs but want specific ones that best fill those roles. What are your go-to's?

>>64751002Noice.>>64751007>>64751010How poor is this board? It's 6 fucking guns. I also am moving from a ban state to a free state so even more reason. I'm swapping out a few old ones for the new ones too, I don't think I'll own more than 10 guns total so they might as well be nice. But I mean like, there's Kel Tecs in there so some are obviously gonna just be there as toys.
>>64750963>building clearing>sniper>drone gun in a scabbardWut. Kinda hilarious larp. Don’t get me wrong, I love larping a little. I’m innawoods 99% more than the suburban slobs on this board, and that’s with a yuppie corporate job, but Your uses are kinda funny to me. The SRS is the only really interesting one, the rest are kinda cheap guns. >for grizzRuger SRH. If you wanna nice semi-custom version, Wild West customs “wolverine” is really nice. Can shoot .454 Casull, .45 colt, and .45acp with moon clips. So fuck-off grizz repellant, to relatively cheap plinking and everywhere in between. >building clearingFor a tactical carbine to maximize your exercise of your 2a rights, the world’s your oyster, there’s so much out there. If I had to do it over again, I’d probably go for the XCR-L. Their caliber conversions exist, the gun is accurate, reliable, ergonomic, modular, and everyone who owns one seems to just plain love it. >shotgunFuck drones, clay shooting is some of the most fun you can have behind a trigger. Goose hunting too. Get a Benelli super black eagle or Ethis or a Beretta O/U or Miroku/Browning Citori and be happy.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64750963No. Fuck no.>benelli le m4 h20>trp 10mm or glock 20Get these first with a quality optic, light and a lot of practice ammo. I'm talking by the case. Shoot them until you get bored and then decide what's next. Stay the fuck away from everything on that list.
>>64750963>KSG as HD shotgunDo you actually like it? The two people I know who bought one decided to just leave it in their safes. One got a Mossberg 590, and the other got a Benelli M4, and now they both don't even look at the KSG.

what are some memory holed wars?Did you know the US invaded the Dominican Republic in 1965 with around 22,500 troops, 100 M48 Pattons, over 1000 combat air sorties. There was heavy fighting where around 60 Marines and 82nd Airborne troops died with 400 wounded.

This covers the First and Second Congo Wars, treating them as a single conflict with a long ceasefire in between. It’s very interesting.

>>64745696I am reading Philip Agees book CIA Diary at the moment and it is up to the Dominican Republic invasion, 10,000 US Marines for "58 trained Communists" is the point where he became disillusioned with what he was doing as a CIA officer
How come glocks frequently jam if you limp wrist them but other handguns don't? https://youtube.com/shorts/FYG4aNr-b8o

>>64717653>is it just a skill issue?Limp writing is mostly improper grip that is too low or off to the side. Proper hand placement is what matters.Try 2 finger firing drills where you hold and fire the pistol with only your thumb and forefinger.
>>64750800>improper grip that is too low or off to the sidechecked, thanks to Gaston's genius engineering design of that angle for the pistol
>>64717673Semi off topic but after shooting striker fired guns for around 20 years almost exclusively, I got into revolvers. After a couple months getting used to DAO shooting with a j frame sized revolver, I practically feel like I'm cheating even with a bog standard glock 19. I've also come to the conclusion that trigger snobs are just making excuses for not being able to shoot.

The T-34 is the best tank of World War II. What about airplanes? According to /k/
>>64750059Schießen
>>64739337Random unprompted rant: Despite the persistent perception that all German tanks were over engineered and overpriced, Panzer IVs were on average slightly cheaper than average Shermans and T-34s.But yeah, while they were better in a few aspects, they were a lot more difficult to maintain Shermans, but still FAR more reliable than T-34s which (like Panthers) were trash in practical reality despite looking impressive on the spec sheets. The whole "over engineered and overpriced" is absolutely true if you compare tanks in completely different classes, apples and oranges, etc.Tigers-1 cost 4 or 5 times as much as regular medium tanks, and Tiger-2s were twice the price of Tiger-1s.

IIRC 50 cent was shot nine times but survived because it was pissant caliber like .25 ACP
>>64749567Not sure if you misread CT as CW but they're different guns. The P938 recoil spring mod wouldn't work on the CW.Anyway, are you using the Magguts extension kit? I have one mag with an older version another with a new version. The old one has 2 separate springs, the new one has them bolted together at the middle cup. The new design reliably chambers fiocchi, the old one doesn't.

When i got laid off from my cushy tech job they gave me a big fuckin blanket of a severance package, cashed out all my vacation hours, gave a lump sum of estimated medical benefits charges, all that stuff.I used that to keep stable for about a year and find another job, get a new apartment, and buy some things i needed to buy.My absolute last 700 dollars from that pile of cash was used on this cool lil guy.The best part is that i've been looking for a beretta compact forever but didn't like that only Landberg Tactickstein has them in their most basic configuration. By swapping the slide and barrel it removes most of the LTT branding except for the serial number starting with LTT.
