>>64747036>I'm so big n tuff i gots my gunPeople with that mentality were hitting randoms with stray shots. It's okay if some ktard incel has a gun way the fuck out in Methhead Desert where their stray bullets only hit some ancient Indian grave mounds, but I don't want the likes of (you) going near a city, especially not with your long barrel +++++P elephant killer car buster rounds.
>>64749907As far as I can tell it was first posted Jan 1, so Feb 1? I doubt anyone's going to exclude targets posted after that, people getting out to shoot is the goal!
>>64749798I'm happy you shoot and hopefully are improving, but I wouldn't be showing that target to talk shit to someone else. That looks like absolute doo doo and I hope, for your sake, it's from 20 yards and not a foot closer.
What serial prefix for Glock 19 Gen 3 made before 2019?
>>64746411There has literally never been a civilian shooti g where bystanders got hit that didnt invovle the cops being the ones shooting.
Post your most interesting, cool or weird uniforms and kits. Pic related isBengal troops uniforms during colonial period.
>>64749675It's even more annoying when considering that a) it's not even historically Greek, it's Albanian; b) it's not accurate, since the foustanella should be knee-length, instead of mid-thigh.
The Italian Bersaglieri are known for still wearing feather plumes on their helmets, even in active combat scenarios. Are there any other examples of extremely old-fashioned bits of gear that are still worn in battle?

>>64748314>Harkonnen shit and piss their suits at the sight of this.
Where my arm chair generals at? What the actual best way to pull this off? Apparently only springtime is possible because other than that the strait is too choppy. Eastern shore is all rocks so you can’t even do a landing over there.Also can’t do any of the tactics from ukraine since basements aren’t a thing due to the water table, there a ton of parking garages and subway stations though.
>>64750134How would you even begin to go about securing a place this? It just seems like such an obvious fools errand. Even worse than Ukraine.
>>64749877The HF series of anti-ship missiles have ranges that would put almost every ship in the Taiwanese straights within range. So it'd be a shooting gallery. Cruise missiles would be hitting mainland staging grounds and ports. Good luck getting any landing ship near them.
>>64750160HF-3 has shorter range, but larger payload.
>>64749877Repeated nuclear strikek on Taipei
>>64749877I'm no expert, but to me it seems more worthwhile to focus on expanding into Russia instead
6,500,000,000€largest sale in israel's history
>>64749378>ought to be able to whip up the basics in monthsYou can't vibe code your way into AA
>>64749425How mentally fucked are you that your retort to 'have basic competence' is 'uuuuhhhhhh I can't vibe code my way into it'?
>>64747059Think of Russia like a rabid dog or a crack head. They aren't an existential threat, but they could do alot of damage and hurt people, especially if you aren't equipped to deal with them. Likewise with Russia, they could still fire missiles into populated areas and kill alot of people in the Baltics before they are defeated. With NATO appearing unreliable (regardless of how reliable it actually is), Putin might just take the bet that he could grab a decent chunk of the Baltics, being much smaller than Ukraine, before NATO could respond. Then rely on the Europeans to be too casualty averse to dig out the russian forces. Whether this would work or not is irrelevant, only that Putin think it could.
>>64749443Because you retards talk about actual production of complex shit like it's some modern koolaid crap. You can't "npm install radar" and "npm install guidance" your way into psychical products. Look at russia, they're making AA for 50+ years and it's still shit. Look at South Korea, an industrious and modern country, and even they bought in russian AA for the initial technology transfer. Because trying to spin up that shit yourself from scratch is hard. Like even making solid fuel for rockets is hard when you're dealing with industrial military shit instead of some hobby level BS. Because you need specific know-how processes, you need to have stable specs, you need shit to be shelf-stable, repeatable and so on. So that half your missiles don't become duds and the other half don't explode in the tube.
>>64749424>shilling for kikreal >not a jeetPick one and only one
I gave myself tinnitus dry firing an airgun indoorsFucking hate this piece of shit
>>64750119>dieseling is not what happened, it literally EXPLODEDthat is quite literally what dieseling is you tard, the oil that got misted detonated because of the pressure>it's not fucking loud at allyeah noises below 140 dB won't cause pain, but they still can cause hearing damage
>>64749609At least you got it from a gun. I got tinnitus from going to a smokey pool hall, catching a mild cold, and getting a middle ear infection.Sometimes when I get sick with a sinus infection though, the ringing stops and it's the weirdest feeling.
>>64750128It could have easily been above 140, and>yeah noises below 140 dB won't cause pain, but they still can cause hearing damageyeah 140 isn't some conservative estimate it's an industry cheapskate-as-fuck number of "yeah this is the absolute least number our lawyers can arguably claim on some humans won't cause instantaneous permanent damage and thus we can't get sued for" if you actually give a shit about your ears you should be more conservative then that. NIOSH (who never had any regulatory power unlike OSHA and thus weren't lobbied as hard) image related.
>>64750128no it fucking isn't, I've looked this up now so I know you're full of shitdetonation is NOT dieseling and there isn't a fireball or immensely loud explosion with dieseling
>>64750128you are out of your mind if you think a .177 single shot spring airgun is loud enough to cause hearing damage under any normal circumstancesmy nerf gun with fly wheels is louder than the damn thing
It's that time of year /K/ommandos! Were we reminisce the years that have past and look forward to the new one that is now unfolding! And that includes thinking up of goals for ourselves to achieve this year! You have been thinking of how to become a better /K/ommando right anon?Anyway, I haven't seen one of these threads in a few years, so lets get one going. How do you rank against your fellow /k/omrades?Bonus points if you can add stories about your achievements. Also maybe its time to update the board? Add a few more,
>>64748653Forgot a couple things
not sure of the gunny counts any gunny or just THE gunny, so 445 if you need THE gunny
Made it to /k/omrade. Was pog in the US Army, own a nugget, and done some hiking and camping. I spend too much money on /tg/ stuff to get into more serious gun hobbying too.
>>64745359fugg
>>64748015>Surprised "Own and wear body armor" is not on there.This is why I think it could use a bit of an update. Theres definitely other /k/ things you can achieve than what's on there.
Post gear. Discuss gear. Chico's got an M1 Garand in the Streetz Edition. Level IV required.Old: >>64713312
Another plate deal. Hudsongunner is selling sets of Point Blank IC34s for $165 a set. 10x12 multi curve, Level III and IV rated, 6.125lb a plate. These are pre-0101.06 and are light on drop protection, and thinner as a result, and are also ICW IIIA so you need good IIIA soft armor behind them. You should meet or exceed the soft armor listed on the back label.https://www.tacswap.com/post/68e71ab4ffc5f7cdd369781fPrice is great, but they run the risk of postal service destruction, if not adequately packaged, and you need to factor in the price of good soft armor too. Much better deal IMO than the Botach 4600s.
>>64749805Nah, europoor tho, any recommendations for a PC? Went to Milipol and saw a few, the Direct Action and Savotta felt the most solid
>>64750033the Warrior Assault Systems DCS is more or less the euro equivalent of a JPC as far as generic recommendations go
>>64749162>Aramid\PE GranitsThere can be any number of reasons for it. The website could be lying\mistaken, but that's hard to believe given that it's Techincom's official civ storefront. They could have changed the backer to PE in the latest series for cost\access\tech reasons. Or you could be confusing Granits with SShTF plates (picrel), which are visually almost identical - same double-curve shape, very similar rubber coating (SShTF is smooth matte, Granits are more "truck bed liner" wrinkled). Granits are more "swimmer cut" shaped while SShTF are closer to SAPI shape, but you have to have them side by side to distinguish. SShTF plates are always aramid backed because the factory itself primarily makes technical textiles, incl. its own aramid. Techincom is a large combine dealing in all matter of body armor and nylon gear.Whatever the case may be, I don't have one to cut open and check right now, so we're going to have to resort to secondary sources. Let me look for some test vids.>My rough estimateAs I've said, chonky plates for chonky boys. I doubt they exist in any serious quantity, though. Br6 is such an "out there" target for body armor, both due to technical limitations and tactical necessity. I think the extra special guys would probably prefer something on the level of Br5+ Granits, but lighter and\or more multi-hit. Beslan is still fresh on some of their minds, and in there, almost every assaulter took multiple hits while escorting the hostages out, some were wounded up to a dozen times.
>>64750033>europoor plate carrierDirect Action gear is solid and advanced enough to inspire multiple copycats, so that's a good sign. Tasmanian Tiger is always a solid choice, a FSB dude I know swears by it. IDK about Savotta, finns seem to know their wargear well, but I haven't seen any serious endorsements so far (not that I was looking too hard), maybe due to their smaller scale. Also, does Savotta even sell their PCs to anyone except Finn army?On a completely unrelated note, please try and avoid getting drafted into a land war in Northern Eurasia, this didn't end well for anyone in the last ~500 years.>>64750094>WAS DCSLooks more like a 6094's cousin, desu. Solid, if basic, carrier, and they sell them with bundles of pouches, incl. AK mag open-tops.

>>64750137Ditch it and get a low pro gas block.
Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.
>>64748928the ones made in the US are dogshit, the ones made in Italy are better

>>64749033You post this like you wouldn't do the same damn thing. >>64743100Might also be useful for barricades.>>64739936I bet the chainsaw would scare opponents more than the gun. Humans are irrational like that.

>>64750020>some other anon still remembers those gamesHot diggity damn. Felt like PE2 was too ambitious for the PS1 and I know a bunch of people didn't like the radically different gameplay direction but it was still an interesting ride, and PE1 still sticks with me.
>the FBI didnt just switch to 9mm because its cheaper and let more people(women) qualify! The bullets are just better than .40 or .45!>sure we compared it to watered down .40 and .45 with bad bullet design that we used because it let women and manlets qualify...but but its better it is!Idk why the FBI is the basis for peoples choice in personal defensive weapons when their criteria is letting female detectives not limp wrist jam glawks in the incredibly rare shootouts they have, but be my guest i suppose
>>64748689profoundly retarded post
10mm, whateva happened there...
SHORT AND WEAK
10 mili-does what 9 mili-can't
>>64748201But that's not what happened.Hollow point design was garbage, which essentially biased handgun effectiveness towards high mass bullets.When hollow point design improved, 9mm was the major beneficiary because designers could tailor bullets to have good weight retention, 12-16 inches of penetration in gel, barrier blind capabilities, etc. What did .40 and .45 get? Good weight retention, 12-16 inches of penetration in gel, barrier blind capabilities, etc. So larger calibers are designed to the same standard as 9mm, but the added inertia and muzzle energy allows the designers to enhance bullet expansion. Since they get no benefit in penetrating more, they trade it for final bullet frontal area.It's up to you if you want to get that added wound volume at the cost of higher recoil. It's just that statistically you'll shoot better with a 9mm and an instance of a gunshot's effect on target being decided by handgun caliber choice is almost null.And when we get to matters of budgeting 9mm is cheaper for agencies to purchase.>>64748598But they have the funding to do scientifically valid gel tests. It doesn't matter if a local PD gets more kills per year on average than the entire FBI, they have no control over variables.
Is there any chance Denmark will buy out the entire stock of R 360 Neptune to just spam them in case of the (more and more likely) case of invasion and how effective would it be?
>>64750001there's a literal bill in congress
>>64750081Would be dumb if it got through, the senate and president said in 1916 by treaty that they would not object to Greenland's ownership by Denmark.
>>64750109America is dumb
>>64749970Currently they may be bit more needed in Ukraine
>>64750117Well not the anti-ship version, and manufacturing capabilities very well may not be used to full capacity due to lack of money
>tl;dr: the US allegedly used sonic weapon to fuck maduro's guards during the operation the whole post feel like BS propaganda to make the US seems untouchable can this be real right ?
>>64749382No, it was just his wife's cooking that caused that
We've known about sonic and microwave weapons for quite some time. Decades, in fact.The only thing to be skeptical of is that it's allegedly man portable, but I've heard some reports it was fired from the helicopter which makes more sense.
>>64749999The kind that requires you to keep ammo fed into a gun that isn't perfectly maintained and you don't want to melt, but also requires you to aim because you do want to hit a target you may not always have line of sight on.

Yeah those little landing craft did it all by themselves
There was a lot of those little dinkies

The T-34 is the best tank of World War II. What about airplanes? According to /k/

>>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.
