Whatever happened to the patch threads?
>>64765033I think PK
>>64760410They finally died off as it's been since 2014 that the sellers in those threads weren't even remotely /k/ related.
>>64760410Does anyone know what happened to NEETpatchguy/justthebase? Was checking around my usual sites I buy patches from and noticed his site is down.
>>64765906nope, and none of them ever update their fucking twitter pages about what they're doing. hell, there's a good chunk of the sellers on the patchfeed list who 404 or are permanently "temporarily" closed>lazy D patches>Marp>resistandbite isn't even connected to a website anymore>pucapatchworks>PostalPatchworks>fatfck isn't even on the list anymore

You're tasked with building a kit to help Iranian resistance against the Ayatollah regime, the kits you build will be airdropped into Iranian territory in large dufflebags and then picked up by chosen operatives. You have $3k per kit to try to arm an light resistance guerrilla fighter, you can only source items from the US civilian market. At minimum you should provide a rifle, a pistol, body armor, essential accessories and ammunition for both, as well as any survival or tactical implement you see necessary.What kind of stuff do you pick?
>>64757950However much dynamite and fused blasting caps I can get for $2,990, and stick it in a $10 tool bag.
>>64758158smallpox
>>64757950>riflegood idea>a pistol, body armorbad idea.Rifle, and either night vision goggles or perhaps thermal. And some ammo. For one out of every pack. riffle and ammo and some grenades or something for the rest.
>>64764664>>64764664>For one out of every packevery 5th pack. Batteries and more ammo for the others but a rifle in every pack. Fudd Fudd Six could be fine, but it would be better to pack the kind of ammo that is already there.So 30 cal ammo, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51
>>64757950Why would I do that? I would make Iran Sunni again and we would go to Israel and kill Israelis
Are they good defense weapons against China and Russia?
>>64766732No where near Santa tier. More like Nanook tier.
>weaponsThey have a very narrow and specific use, which is long range patrols in extreme arctic terrainIn no way suited for an offensive war, certainly not in the Pacific

>>64765157It's hard to beat honest-to-god film sometimes. I saw the Hateful Eight in the theaters twice, once on a normal modern (digital) screen and once during the roadtour where they brought film projectors and boy oh boy, the difference was amazing. 70mm Panavision on the Cine Capri (Tempe represent whoop whoop) just hits different.
>An F-4 Phantom II aircraft, outlined in lights and pulling Santa's sleigh, decorates the aircraft carrier USS AMERICA (CV-66). Lights suspended from the island of the carrier form a Christmas tree. The display won first place in the large combatant category during Operation Decorama `85Now thats what i call christmas spirit!

USA spent on average 250 000 bullets per kill in Afghanistan & Iraq.
>>64766104I literally state my doubt for the claimed number in the paragraph before.
>>64766359Look at that antiquated contraption, and I'm not just talking the tripod.
>>64766359Do you not realize that doctrine and tactics can vary country to country?
>>64759962>Please tell me that this is not the current state of the RuAF??It isn't. They're on horses and donkeys now.
>>64766359Yep, it's Kirk. Fuck off to a boomer blog Kirk. For the weight of your German fetish a soldier could carry a Carl Gustav M3A1 with the smart scope, extra batteries and five (5) HE 448 programmable airbursting shells.
You have a moderately sized military force and you have to deal with several hundred of these things. Here’s what you gotta remember about them:>Nearly immortal, body can be damaged but the only thing that can kill them is fire>sever a limb and it will keep coming after you >burning them isn’t advised because the gasses inside will reanimate any corpses around them, including animals >They do feel pain, from injury and their rotting bodies>eating brains relieves said pain>they’re very smart, able to fake calls for backup and set up ambushes>speed depends on the state of decay, fresher corpses run like a human>nuking them would kill them, but it would spread the trioxin gas further and make a bigger outbreak in the endWell, /k/? You gotta get creative with this one.
>>64758075Have Trash get naked again
>>64758075>>64758133>>64758130>>64758135It depends on what your rules are, they got easier to kill in the later movies.
>>64758464Oh you're the faggot that always throws a fit whenever anyone brings up zombies that aren't easier to kill than the average golden retriever. >>64760595Romero zombies are such a low level threat that even if everyone who dies become one it's not actually a serious threat to mankind. Bullets are cheap and people don't drop dead by surprise with no witnesses that often.
>>64765105Again, the threat of the Romero zombies was the paranoia they inspired in the human characters. Every single one of his movies has the humans wiping themselves out instead of being overwhelmed by the zombies.

Will it ultimately be a cult hit like the AR-15?
>>64765142>It's currently like $4.50 a round for training ammoHas anybody necked down 308 brass and made light training loads with .277 boolits yet? The spear is over gassed to hell and back, I imagine even light loads will run fine for training.
>>64765292It's an ar18 with big boy clothes on.
>>64765156Whenever I shoot any of those guns I am reminded they just aren't as good as an AR-15. Scar, bren, they're neat but worse to actually shoot. Punchier, fragile stocks, limited aftermarket. Also you forgot the XCR which is probably the best notanAR.
>>64764122That kind of thinking is why they're still paying for losses from wars past to this day, losing hundreds of thousands of capable men, repeatedly, is a serious drain on your society in the long term.And now Russia is doing it yet again.That shit is a fucking debt for the country and economy you're trying to build and operate, and it's a debt on future military efforts. Zergrushing and losing legions of soldiers is not sustainable strategy.>>64765156Charging handle is fine IMO, helps enclose the action from dirt, and you're using the bolt release most of the time.The only improvements I'd suggest is a handle with one of those foldout little paddles to give you a bit more purchase, along with some of that gas shield geometry for using cans.Folding stock I don't think is a very big deal, and you should think twice about mortaring ANY gun, I'd only really do that in a life and death situation.If you manage to get a bolt override, that's not great, and while you can mortar that clear sometimes, there's better methods which are about as fast, more reliable, and less abusive to the gun.>barrels aren't easily changedThey're not quick change, but it's not a support weapon so I don't care.Comment too long.

>>64760976Sorry I didn't see this, probably around 40cpr depending on how much you buy. I'm trying to work out how I'd handle shipping to have the overall cost not be too much.
>>64762760>depreciation you enduredThat's the thing I've put 2 mags through it and it's sat in a safe for 10 years. Take it out every now and then to mess around and never had rust issues. The thing is pristine and I don't like to rip people off so if I sell it I'm not gonna take too much profit. It's a real-AK wanters dream, plus 1k storage and handling costs ofc.
>>64765343NTA but I'm also interested in that Golden Tiger. If you don't end up selling it all, I'd buy anywhere between 200 and 2000 rounds of it at 41 CPR not counting shipping.
Did /akg/ shoot this week?
Writefag here, I’m looking for real “out there” firearms that are advanced looking but not too impractical for my sci-fi setting.
>>64754501P90 prototypes.
>>64765002The chamber would be right around the red line. There's 0 room for a bolt, let alone the fire control components. It's pure fantasy made by some noguns retard. They never take things like this into account.
>>64766730if you use a bolt like that of the TKB022 (?) (that bakelite ultra bullpup), you could make it work

how to beat mongols/horse nomads?Fortifications?focus on range?heavy cav?hold out until the current khan dies?
>>64766779>For a short time.The Turks still control Turkey last I checked. Are they local to Anatolia? The Mongols controlled Iran for 300 years, and Iranians only took back control because a guy leading a warband of Turkish crypto-Zoroastrian Shia mystics put them in power to prevent giving his warband too much power.
>>64765773By living in a a humid and forested/jungle environment that limit their mobility and which also makes their composite bows fucking useless, due to moisture dissolving the glue holding their bows together. See Central Europe and Vietnam.
>>64766801The turks stopped being horse nomads very soon after they invaded anatolia.
>>64766247>what's with the tactical diaper?Its for when he shits himself after seeing the horde of cavalry charging him.
>>64766848Ahhh right. Central Europe. Famously devoid of steppe nomads. Except of course being one of the first places the Indo-Europeans, the original steppe nomads and inventors of the composite bow, settled. And the Scythians, they were there for basically all of antiquity. Hell, the steppe nomad thing was so effective other people picked it up like the Goths and Vandals, came all the way from Sweden then as soon as they hit Central Europe they started picking up steppe nomad customs. Must have been a weather pattern shift at some point that drove all these people out, right? Oh, no, it was the Huns, a different group of steppe nomads. Then there were the Avars of course, and the Magyars oh wow they're still there, and the Cumans, and the Bolghars passed through at one point too.So, no, I think that's pretty much completely wrong and you're a retard, and picked the place in Europe that has been a hotbed of steppe nomads since steppe nomads first became a thing. Literally the oldest bodies with evidence of deformities associated with constant horseback riding come from central Europe. You could not be more wrong if you tried.>>64766869No they didn't. Said crypto-Zoroastrian Shia mystics were nomadic bands of Turks from Eastern Anatolia. That was 500 years after they began invading Anatolia. They were still living as nomads.
