>>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

>July 1991>A starboard view of the battleship USS NEW JERSEY (BB-62) as the ship passes the aircraft carrier USS MIDWAY (CV-41). Fighter Squadron 151 (VF-151) F-4 Phantom II aircraft and an A-6AE Intruder aircraft are parked on the flight deck in the foreground
>>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!
>Sep 1980>A close-up view of the right side of the tail section of a Soviet Tupolev Tu-95 Bear aircraft showing two crewmen inside. This photo was taken from a U.S. Air Force F-4 Phantom II aircraft observing the Bear over international watersAs some might have guessed, my keyword search is F-4 Phantom.
>July 1980>A view of an F-4 Phantom II aircraft that was left hanging over the edge of the port side flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS MIDWAY (CV-41) when the carrier collided with the Panamanian freighter CACTUSInterested in how the hell this happened

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.

>>64765012He is ready to defend Greenland.
>>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

>>64764784I hope Trump sends argies as cannon fodder.
>>64764636China no longer considers Russia a viable economic partner lol.
>>64764597Trump will do nothing but European countries won't do anything about importing browns and blacks and they will also give ukraine very little aid to fight ziggers.Also why would I defend Greenland in defence for what? Neoliberalism and women's rights? Just bomb Moscow and assassinate Putin

>>64766019Eh having gone from being semi senior enlisted to an O, I can see the appeal. To me it seems you don't have to make and own the same decisions as the officer counterpart, I think this applies most like at 1stSgt/Co. Commander level or SgtMaj to BC level. Instead you advise the CO/back him up where you can, and do your best for yourself and your guys.
i tried applying for the us army and they immediately sent me a guide on how to fast-track getting a work visa.is it really that easy?
>>64766435Yes but you can't just get whatever job you want, you will be very job limited as a non-citizen.

There's no real need to rehash why mechs don't work but what is the ideal jungle support vehicle then?
>>64766490>I had some vague recollection of them being useful for jungle bustingthey probably were, it's just that the typical American definition of "jungle" might be suspectlike if say a primary report reads>our tank went through thick jungle no problem and smoked a dozen NVAthe question is still: did the writer of the report really understand what is meant by "thick" jungle?and is the jungle in future combat theatres the same as that kind of jungle?for example, there is a marked difference between primary (aka virgin, old growth, ancient) jungle and secondary jungle which has been cleared and regrown recently (again, "recently" in this case meaning within the past couple of decades)primary jungle has significant root networks, stumps, rocks, mosses, and thick-trunked hardwood treessecondary jungle is usually composed of smaller but thickly-grown bushes, thinner softwood trees, and fewer stumps and rocks. it would in some ways be more navigable.but would your average American / European tank commander be able to tell the difference?>>64766555Comment too long.

>>64766650Undergrowth is fine, you're making mountains out of molehills. The only way way these would be impassable is if these roots were 6 feet tall or something, at which point your mech would need to be 20 feet tall.

>>64765513I had to work with Sora a bit to get the same idea, I can't find the fan book about the Chi-Town/Old Chicago bike/car scene in Rifts earth. This is close enough, Glitterboy/Motorcycle troopers. There was a whole spec sheet and shit I wish I could find a copy.
Is the swiss army knife a meme? How essential is it really?
>>64761971Multitools are for situations where you can't (or really don't want to) carry the real tools. It's a lot easier to deal with a shitty SAK/Leatherman screwdriver for a 5 second job than to spend 5 minutes going outside to the truck for a real one and so on. Also, they're a way of carrying a utility knife in situations where people might freak out about a regular pocketknife, you can be "handy MacGuyver guy" instead of "dangerous psychopath" to the normies even though functionally there's no real difference.
>>64766332Damn those look sweet, might add it to the list
>>64764866The Swiss Army uses this model. Used for cutting sausage, opening cans and beers. Officers get one with a corkscrew, because they are fancy and drink wine. If you are in Europe, I would always carry one with a corkscrew.
>>64761425This pliers, a blade, and a screwdriver is the minimum anything else is vanity or you know what you use every day. Honestly the blade is just there if you don't carry an actual knife, its never going to have real functionality.
>>64766332Looks quite nice.>>64766464This. I actually used to keep one in the car for emergencies when traveling. >>64766798I'd be quite happy with one without a knife myself. Rarely got any use out of it except with some model making.
> see pic related with my kids> expect whimsical adventure movie about sky pirates with plane autism> it’s a meditation on surivor’s guilt and ptsd from the perspective of a WW1 pilotThat shit had no business hitting so hard. Felt gutted all day. Absolute S tier film. Ghibli’s best imo
>>64754609> I saw where it was heading, and I don't necessarily dislike itThats how felt about it. I dont hate that kind of ending but it happened very abruptly, felt like the studio said we need to make it two hours so they cut it off the end. Also if thats where they wanted to go they shouldve kept it closer to the heart of darkness/apocalypse now story as far as the crews fates, but that also mightve happened and been cut for time. Wasted potential
>>64759182You need to watch Who Dares Wins, sometimes on websites as The Final Option. Its a fictionalized account of the embassy siege that was made immediately after to cash in on the raid, its an okay spy thriller until the end when you get one of the best raid scenes ever filmed. The sas advisors offered to just do the scene themselves instead of bothering to train extras because they were wearing gas masks anyway.
My Ghibli favorite and a legendary movie and I dont even like anime
>>64761559Yeah, the same creator has an OVA series coming soon that he finally got commissioned by a non-hentai studio.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esQM3UWBgD0Good for him.
