With the collapse of Venezuela and what looks to be soon Iran, Will we see an influx of new AK parts kits hitting the market? Both contries also have facotries that make licensed copies of AKs so are we in for fresh stuff or are those days never to return

>>64728091I highly doubt it but I'd like to be surprised

There is literally no reason why you should not have one.
>>64720641Sorry, I was asking about a middle-ground *community*. I'm 100% sure that reasonable mid-tier hardware solutions exist. The question is who is discussing them and where?
>>64719942Youu can't remotely disable a shortwave radio receiver, dipshit>>64720137This basically allows you to broadcast over short distances, probably in the same range as air traffic control at your local airport or ham radios. The expensive equipment is for people who want to recieve and transmit on a global or continental range. One of these chink hand held radios won't be able to recieve broadcasts from more than like 100km away without an antenna array
>>64721233Middle ground communities only exist online for people who just listen to broadcasts as a hobby. That's because broadcasting is highly regulated and you can easily triangulated and fined by the government for broadcasting without a license on an unapproved frequency. Needs who have spent 10k on radio equipment will help rat you out to keep you from broadcasting over other frequencies
if they made one of those rugged phones that could actually transmit on consumer radio bands i would be so happy
>>64719781I only use mine to scan police frequincies.

All things precision shooting, no experience necessary. Discuss rifles, barrels, action, glass, loads, groups, competitions, and anything else related to the pursuit of tighter groups and longer shots.
Who makes the best stock for walkin and shooting?I’ve got a hankering for heavy barrel shorty thumper. I’ve heard good things about manners but only ever finger fucked mcmillans so far.
>>64727375What qualifies for precision shooting? Im in South eastern Pa and it's hard to find anywhere where I can shoot 200+ yards. None the less I've got a 20 inch ar that I have an lpvo for, which I've never attached or zeroed because I can never get out to Jim Thorpe which seems to be the only place within 200 miles with a 300 yard range.
>>64727990What sights do you have in the 20” right now instead of the lpvo?
>>64728007It's a bone stock colt a4 so just the carry handle and front sight post
I've been waiting for this thread. I inherited a Bergara B14 in 6.5, is it worth keeping? I mean I probably won't ever use it since I don't hunt and we don't have long distance ranges here, but I'm kinda hesitant to sell.

If I committed a crime and got away with it (no police interactions, no arrests or convictions, nothing) should I just lie at MEPS? If I do, is airborne school out of the question? Will lying kill any future prospects of doing any interesting shit where I have to admit my actions on an SF86?
>>64727141The appointment is tomorrow, not that you need to know that!After I get another letter, then I'll have even more of an excuse to drive my ass down there again just to talk to him in person when he doesn't answer his phone. I don't even know when their Christmas leave ends, or if he was even supposed to be taking any calls in the meantime. I figured why not let him have his Christmas before I go back to professionally (and inevitably) humiliating him because of something he will have ended up forgetting about, again.
I have a nickname, but my recruiter told me not to fill it out on that questionnaire they give you when you join, because I never used my nickname on legal forms.My signature also does not read as my legal name, and I actually started hating my signature since I had to sign my social security card with it, since I had nothing else to do it with. Is any of this going to be a problem? What does someone have to go through to change their signature?

>>64724862Eagle claw was also in 1980 not 1970. Nobody in Delta died and they were not "destroyed" It was a logistical and planning fuckup and they went home after it was clear it wasn't going to work. The lessons learned from that are in part why Caracas was such a success. The 160th was created in the fallout of eagle claw as was SOCOM.

Huh. Cuba has MiG-29's.
>>64720472I wonder if someone is keeping the checks for the day that they can cash them out.
>>64720327>2022Before that they were actually rolling Ukraine, had they invaded anytime between 2016-2019 they would have rolled Ukraine. However thanks to American weapons and training they were able to stall Russia long enough for their shitshow of logistics and command structure to show it's head.
>>64727899thats moreso because pre-retrained UAF were a shitshow rather than the RuAF being competent
>>64711653If the Mig-29s could close could they hang in a dogfight against F-22s and F-35s? So far they have ZERO air to air kills.
>>64721777Its the sort of thing the Russians do
Why aren't modified airliners used as strategic bombers?I mean these days they are expected to just lob lob ALBMs and cruise missiles.Modified civilian planes are already commonly used in military operations as tankers, AEW&C and maritime patrol aircraft.>E-7 is literally just 737 with big radar bolted on>P-8 is literally just 737 with bomb bay and hardpoints>KC-46 is literally just 767 with a glorified sippy straw bolted onSo why are B-52s still kept on life support? surely it would be cheaper to operate a (more or less) off-the-shelf airliner instead of wasting billions on modernising such an antediluvian airframe
>>64726857>"we have bomber at home", the thread. We don't need weird Kriegsmodell planes or converted civilian planes as bombers.not when you can push a pallet of cruise missiles out the back of a cargo plane
How is it so hella easy that passenger planes get shot down? Are they just not paying attention? Noise should not be ignorable, when the surface is getting missile lock you can hear the really loud Beep Beep Beep BEEP and solid tone. There is just no possibility to not know understanding of what happens there! Why don't pilots Fucking doge the missile when he saw radar alarms went off signaling a missile lock? Pilots is all ex-military yes? Most of the planes seem to have a lot of maneuverability, a lot more than you would think of a plane that size. He could have preformed a dive with a sharp bank to make the missile miss since they have bad turn radius and make it fail angel of attack.If he didn't feel enough maneuver time, pilot should at least launched countermeasures or fired off some flares to try to distract the missile or maybe dropped his fuel tanks so that he could climb quickly. If you remember the movie Congo, they were flying over Zaire space without authorization and so Zaire military started firing missiles at slow ass cargo plane. And there was no way they could doge! The plane was just too big and slow, so the chick from Ozarks, she was much younger at the time, she got great idea to open the side jump doors and then shoot flares at the missiles so the missiles would go for the flares and explode on it! Like she had no military training but it was an ingenious idea and it bought them enough time to get everyone on their parachutes and jump out of the plane! Another thing would have been to try to eject all the cargo and use it as chaff to protect against the missile. Or what about at least trying to jam the missile guidance?Pilot have lot of options but there is never an accounting and used none of them. Pilots and crew didn't even try to parachute away when the plane got hit! There was an Israeli flight few years back and they dodged TWO FUCKING MISSILES at once on a takeoff! Surely other pilots have combat training and can take action!?
>>64722202and that little bomb bay behind the wing can only hold a few torpedoes. you wanna hold large standoff weapons, you need a bigger bay and the airplane's center of gravity needs to be inside it. so those main landing gear gotta move outboard onto the wings, the wings gotta move up the sides of the fuselage so you can fit your heaviest goodies under the middle of the main wing spar, and now you've got yourself something in the general shape of a B-52, Tu-95, or H-6. and that's why nobody has bothered to reinvent the "big dumb bomb truck" wheel in the last 60 years.
>>64724869>Because modifying an airliner fuselage to have a bom bay is not trivial from a structural point of view.Actually, kinda is. We could do that shit on a weekend. Ofc then lawyers and management show up and it takes 15 years and costs 20 billions.>Plus, because bombs are so much denser than people or cargoWhich means you can use a lot of extra space in the existing fuselage to put in some extra bulkheads to fix the load path you cut in half by putting in bomb bay doors.>you can make the fuselages of the bombers much slimmer that the fuselages of the airliners that carry the equivalent loadyou can simply take a narrowbody airliner and cut the fuselage shorter, such variants usually already exist for short haul flight.<so dedicated bombers will be more efficient (faster/longer range) than the equivalent airliners.Comment too long.

If black powder guns aren't legally firearms, does that mean I can easily buy and carry multiple revolvers for defense?
>>64726990Is there a reason you can't do that with modern revolvers now? ATF doesn't classify them as firearms but legally they are still weapons. Odds are your State or City has a law/ordnance against carrying them if they prevent open/concealed carry already.
>>64726990>If black powder guns aren't legally firearmsClose, but not quite.Specifically, it's anything made before 1899, and muzzleloaders, which are exempt. Black powder cartridge guns made in 1899 or afterward are legally firearms.>can I carry themThat comes down to local law, not Federal. Just because the ATF doesn't consider them firearms doesn't mean your local laws won't restrict them by some other definition. Plus, even if they aren't "firearms" under federal law, they certainly are "weapons".
>>64726990
>>64726990Yeah just wear around a brace of pistols, it should work well.
>>64726990Loaded and ready to shoot they are legally considered firearms for most purposes

>>64727939It's not the lack of complexity, it's how it looks like it's been in a scrapyard for 45 years that's the issue
