I recently attended Navy OCS, if any of you have questions about the process or what the program is like, I'll be on for a while to answer them.

After a year long absence, the journey of the Busta Move(s) and her intrepid crew continues! Previous installments: https://desuarchive.org/k/search/subject/Target%20for%20Today/>what the fuck is thisTarget for Today is a solitaire tabletop game (translated to digital for these threads) covering the USAAF's bombing campaigns in Europe throughout the Second World War. With options for choosing everything from which Air Force, Bombardment Wing and Squadron you fly with all the way to which submodel of aircraft you'll be flying, the game is rife with detail. Over a year ago we began the journey of the Busta Move, a B-24 of the 15th Air Force (49th Bomb Wing, 451st Bomb Group, 725th Squadron). While perilous, our crew has done far better than the ill-fated men of the B-17s that shared the Big Nigger titles, with our current permanent losses consisting of:>Copilot Harris>Radio Operators Sean Bean and Poncho>Waist gunners Fanculo, Danielson and Sam Hyde, with another (Lefty Navel) being medically dischargedOur bombing results, however, have been much less impressive: out of eleven combat missions the Busta Move has been forced to abort due to combat damage six times, and on a mission to soften up Anzio for Allied landings we missed the target entirely. Our 10th mission, Milan, was another abort but the flight back was a nightmare. By the time the Busta Move returned to base, she had lost two engines, both main landing gear, all of the twin .50 cals had been rendered inoperable, the entire oxygen system had failed, one wing was barely attached, half the crew was wounded and dozens of other minor hits had been taken. That plane was retired and the Busta Move II was put into action, already having completed one mission.For now, strap your parachutes on, grab a K-ration and lets go bomb vaguely near strategic targets!
Radioman, please hail my mommy on any available frequencies. I need her to come pick me up, post haste.

We break off from the rest of the squadron, turning for home. We retain good fighter escorts, which quickly moves vital. A set of Germans picks us out as a juicy target, but the escorts keep all but one of them off of us. A flurry of gunfire convinces him that even this lone bomber is more trouble than it's worth and we're onto zone 2!
Zone two suffers us no German fighters, and our flight back to base is uneventful. We pull off the runway, get Fook some band-aids for his boo-boo and see about getting ourselves a new bombsight. Waiting for the rest of our squadron to return, we happily note that no planes are missing from the formation, although a couple appear to have suffered some damage. Those two are Cash and Carry, which took a series of hits about the time we turned around, and Bunk Buster, damaged on the return flight.Regrettably, despite no flak cloud cover mostly obscured the target and our squadron's second attempt on Piombino was no more successful than the first. >Cash and Carry: 2 damage>Bunk Buster: 2 damage>Squadron bomb run: Off Target>Bomb Accuracy: 0%

>new camo comes out>everyone shits on it relentlessly>they make a new camo to replace it>everyone realizes that UCP was based all alongPotery
>>65031817Redditors are hipsters by nature, so liking UCP is the reddit opinion.
>>65031799If you for some reason need to operate out in the real red sand kind of outback then don't fucking worry, that shit will make you blend in before long. That shit is the finest dust you've ever seen and it'll dirty up your clothing like nothing else.The real trick is having equipment that'll survive those conditions and let you survive them. There's a reason Australian M113s were modified with air conditioning and it's been a requirement for basically everything infantry-carrying since.
>>65031122
>>65018285>Bright orange/red makes for better camo than UCP Absolutely embarrassing. Also I've wanted to buy Omani camo for years, and I've seen it being sold surprisingly often, but I have never seen my size in stock. Would UCP have been less shitty if it had black dots? >>65018500>The military could adopt gimp suits as their standard uniform and it'd be less gay than UCPI think I've posted this before, but I wonder if the Army would have been more effective if they had worn hilarious Rothco camos, or obnoxiously loud and proud red, white, and blue uniforms or some shit. UCP was abysmal, but it was clear it was an attempt at camo. What if we just went fuck it we ball and showed up confidently wearing something that's meant to be seen from the horizon? Like a constant passive display of "Yeah we're here to fuck your shit up, what are you gonna do about it bitch?" Would the Taliban be intimidated, leading to fewer attacks? Or maybe they'd take us less seriously and we'd achieve a higher K/D ratio? Whatever the outcome, we missed out on some serious hilarity. >>65019581I'm waiting for someone to post the wet Korangal Valley picture. >>65019630>>65021953Comment too long.

/frtssg/ - Forced Reset Trigger & Super Safety GeneralPrevious:>>64899646What are FRTs:Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs) are firearm modifications that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly by automatically resetting the trigger after each shot, while still requiring a trigger pull for each round. They increase the rate of fire without converting the firearm into a fully automatic weapon.AR-15 is the most ubiquitous platform with the most amount of options. Other platforms have other nuances.See it action:https://youtube.com/@juiceymedia1https://youtube.com/@poorboyarmshttps://youtube.com/@printshootrepeatDistributors:Comment too long.

>>65032677wrong. they were actually pretty neat before. but yeah they are almost entirely obsolete now.
>>65032677They're legal in more places than FRTsAlso the 2 shot burst is superior to the 3 shot burst
>>65003005your alternative is an original for $30,000
>>65017611>>65017617>there is one end all be all answer for when full auto should be usedits extremely dependent on the gun used, the recoil, the firing rate, how much it weighs/its stability, etc.you can absolutely do precision shooting on full auto but it needs certain requirementslike an ar15 isnt as good in full auto for accuracy as an mp5 or a suomi, nor will it be as accurate as a pkm or an mg3and a 650 rpm ar15 will perform better than a 750 rpm ar15

>>65034158>>65034143only the 590A1 is all metal. the regular 590 has a plastic safety and plastic trigger group/guard. honestly with the metric shitload of variants Mossberg now offers across the 500 and 590 models, you really just need to look at the specific gun/model/package and pick the set of features you want.
>>65034143Blue Line pump unironically. It's just a norchinko built 870, all metal unlike most mossys these days
>>65034158the only 590 thats guaranteed the metal triggerguard is the 590a1.theres plenty of 590s that come with the default plastic triggergroup.
>>65033951This post should include a trigger warning.
>>65034146Part of me hopes they actually send the retailer stock to Ukraine. Wes Winkel being hunted down by crippled azov dudes with kitchen knives would be the funniest thing to happen in a long time around here.
Brass goblin editionI'm going to dry tumble the 9mm soon.
>>65031129>>65031188A few months ago I was at the range with a guy building a 7mm prc, used retumbo for his testing. It smoked out the range with each shot - not as bad as BP but damn close
>>65033207Really? Ive seen people online and their doesn't crunch nearly as much as mine. It feels like im having to use way more force than needed.
>>65033505Same powder? Ball powders will meter much better generally. You could try removing the cylinder and giving it a good clean but at the end of the day you will always experience a little crunchyness with stick powder

My boomer dad sent me this earlier lol
Saudi Arabia will no longer buy US weapons, according to MBS after Trump insulted him. Whose weapons will they buy? South Korea or Europeans ones?
>>65033377Look they have literally nothing at this point
>>65033077Trump is destroying American hegemony so people are a little wild
>>65033293>Guys, Trump was just a little excursion we swear!! Yeah we voted him in for a 2nd time and a large swath of the country support everything he does but we'll go back to Obama neo-liberalism!!!It's over dog lol. Just because your political leaders are retards who can't see past a week, doesn't mean other countries are the same
>>65033041I, John Smith of Alablyatma oblast, am demoralized. Now all Americanskis must call on tsar Trump to cease slaughtering Iranian cowards and aid mighty Persian lion in two week, 907 day special jihad operation to liberate Al Quds.

This probably has been asked a lot, but are bolters realistic? And if they could exist, would they be as good at penetrating armor as the tabletop game suggests?
>>65028560They are posible to make and yes they would be probably good at penetrating armor Being a 75caliber but the cons are they are werry expensive to make plus who would use them when other weapons are good enough for the curent Job any way so why bother
What about chainswords?
>>65032145They'd instantly stop and get clogged.
>>65031722He really isn't. Had some video a while ago that he had to stop making videos because he was going to the doctor too much. He thought he had testosterone deficiency because he's 33 and still looks 18, but it turns out his test levels are literally off the scale, which, combined with his looking 18, means something is going fucky wucky in his endocrine system. Idk if he's done a medical update since.
>>65034030>he's 33Holy crackers really
Would P90s and MP5s really melt through armor like it does in my kinos?
>>65031386They're wearing chainmail and what I think is 2-6mm steel plate.
>>65033710>>65033701They also had 2 way gate travel for a bit before they retconned it. mostly for convenience sake in some early episodes, IIRC.
BTW, I'm very disappointed by the lack of hammond posting here.
stargate was a refreshing take after non-DS9 trek's philosophical approach to everything
>>65029967Yeah, designed in the 80s to beat shitty soviet armor.
Can we seriously move on from this boring design?
>>65024404Sure, if you can make a better one.
>>65025728They're called foreign military sales (FMS) for a reason.
>>65029468>I want heart guns now not brain guns.
>>65024404its the best design. you probably live in a shit state that prevents you from having one, otherwise you'd just shut up and buy a lever action, bolt action, hk space gun, steyr whatever you want.
>>65024404For those of us who just want cost-effective tools, there's no problem. Even if we want some particular feature, we just pay for it.You can already get all sorts of different designs if you're willing to pay for them.It's easier than ever for women and faggots to make money to show off their fashion sense.
>Drones are the future of warf-AACK!!
>>65034209I’m mostly worried about reliability and the ability to eat all the ammo. I’ve heard some lighter loads can fail to cycle semis
>>65034203SA unless you're a fudd
>>65034222Just stop being poor and get a 1301
>>65034222Sounds like you'd feel safer with an American made pump action.
>>65034224>>65034226Compelling arguments, being a rude fuck must help you a lot in life.
I’ve looked at this closely, and one of the clearest, most tangible objectives of any ground move would be the small islands Iran took by force from Gulf states in the 1970s, especially Siri and Abu Musa.They’re strategic, symbolic, and relatively low risk. The U.S. could realistically help return them to the UAE if Iran refuses to cooperate, instantly creating real leverage in negotiations.Unlike places like Kharg or Qeshm, these islands sit far enough from the Iranian mainland to be harder targets for drones and short range missiles. That makes them much easier to hold and defend, rather than turning into constant strike zones.Let me know if you think I’m wrong here.Personally, I don’t see much value in targeting Kharg. If the goal is to disrupt Iran’s oil exports, the U.S. could achieve that at sea just out of the strait by intercepting shipments, without committing troops to a fixed, exposed position. Seizing the island would deliver similar disruption but at a much higher cost, with limited upside in terms of actual oil gained and a significant risk of infrastructure being destroyed.On top of that, Kharg sits well within range of even basic unguided rockets and the newest optic fiber drone systems, making it a constant liability to defend. By contrast, the smaller islands are far, already have airstrips and could support defensive systems, including short range interceptors useful to protect Dubai. Overall being far more manageable positions.
>>65033561>The threat, unfortunately has been enough to stop most (not all) ships from transiting.*fortunatelyIf this ultimately gets the world to stop putting up with the brownoids in israel then it's a great outcome for everyone.
>>65034157I’d say if anything it proves the necessity of the operations. Iran is not a rational actor and they’ve proven that the rest of the world shouldn’t let them have power over something as critical as the strait.
>>65034164>Iran is not a rational actorThey are fighting back using the only leverage they have against a perfidious and irrational actor (the brown state of israel). That is quite rational.>and they’ve proven that the rest of the world shouldn’t let them have power over something as critical as the strait.On the contrary it seems like the only thing that might stop brown israeli aggression in the region.
>>65034124
>>65034171Do you have an actual point or do you just want to call israel brown? You don’t have to reply to me to do that
Pretty sure this is the first time an AWACS has been taken out by enemy fire, even if on the ground.
>>65030750They're now saying TWO AWACS were damaged/destroyed, not just one. NPR reported they'd confirmed this.
>>65030750>>65033739Supposedly also up to 5 (yes, five) EC-130H Compass Call got fucked

>>65027100It lifts oil prices and shits over the European economy, of course it helps him.
Does anyone here have experience with 10m air pistol shooting? I wanted get into some form of bullseye competitive shooting that isn't two gun matches since it wouldn't involve me having to run around like a jackass. Plus .177 cal competition pellets are far cheaper than having to stock up on real ammo. I was looking around for an air pistol and I noticed there are massive price jumps.>Air Venturi Steyr knockoffWhile it is only ~$650 online people seem to complain about the grips and also don't appear to be all that accurate after you get out of being a novice>Hammerli AP20 ProI want to get one of these since they seem to be an okay price, but I am unsure what they are lacking being $1000 cheaper than a Steyr, Morini, or even a Pardini>Steyr, Morini, and PardiniI noticed most Olympic shooters go with either a Steyr LP10 (pic rel) but I am unsure what these three offer or differ over the other options other than I know most of the offerings from Morini have an electronic trigger and I know I am not overly crazy over that. But I am not sure dropping $2200-2500 on a pistol when I am unsure if I would even like the sport is wise to do when just starting out.>Used pistolsI see older pistols like Walther CPs or Feinwerkbau pistols go for a lot less on Fuddjoker or ebay, but I am unsure if spare parts exist or if the air tubes have service lives from being constantly filled and unfilled, seals, trigger parts, etc. are hassles I want to deal with.Ty for coming to my retard TED talk.
>>65030871I was looking around for one, but they are fairly hard to find here.
>>65029263I'm in NZ so the used market doesn't really exist. Our options are club notice boards /club email, auctions and trade me (our fb marketplace).Good competition airguns usually sell instantly when listed so you have to wait for them to pop up. Auctions can have dirt cheap air pistols but they are mostly old webley break actions.Clubs will usually be the best bet, ask around someone will have one. Or you can borrow the club one.>>65029517>Then it's just a matter of practice. I recommend buying a class or coaching session, since its the fastest way to get established with the fundamentals. You can teach yourself eventually, but it's impossible to overstate how much faster you'll get through the beginner steps with someone competent telling you what to do and giving feedback.This is very true if your new to shooting.>>65030871I started on one of these, Its much better than the toy style airguns but i jumped 30 points by getting the pardini.Comment too long.

I can't decide on a rear sight width.
Hämmerli AP20 is what i started shooting 10m air pistol with. Its perfectly fine and capable to reach 575+ results.If you can buy used air pistols Steyr LP2 is excellent value for the money, trigger is better and overall build quality aswell.What I personally dont like about AP20 and all Walther high end air pistols is the fact that the adapter for the compressed air bottle is made of steel with rather fine threads and the other side of the compressed air cartridge is made of aluminium. Therefore it can be easily damaged. Steyr on the other hand both uses brass and coarse thread. Its indestructible
>>65032096Duly noted anon, ty for the info.
