Any anons here ever been to ShootSmart? Its pretty much the only range I hear about in DFW, but they seem extremely expensive: Their prices put me off but their also the closest range to my neighborhood so their convenient...Would you say if I shoot at the minimum 2-3 times a month that a membership would be worth it? How much money would I realistically save? If you get their most expensive membership you get to shoot at the lanes for free and get a free FFL, which is tempting but I'm not sure if its worth it bros...their normal prices are as follows>Public Shooting Lane: $17>Private Shooting Lane: $32>FFL: $45And that's not even counting everything else. Like I've seen Holosun Sights easily going for $400+ there. I think that they upcharge everything to get you to buy a membership, which is pretty scummy, but I am tempted I'm ngl.
>>64757503So, I have done this math before. If you are able to get either free or discounted FFL transfer fees, some amount of low cost or free range usage and discounts on some ammo at the range I think it would be worth it. That means you can easily just drop in any time of the day or week, work in about 10-20 magazines if you pre load them and then be on your merry way. That would for me be worth roughly 150-200 a month just in time savings. Now ymmv with whatever ranges are around you but that would be what makes the range reasonable for me.
>>64757503Hi fellow DFWanon. Have you considered RangeUSA at all? There’s a few in the metroplex. I pay 50 a month for a membership there. Free rentals, discounts on everything, free range time, and a free guest. Range Jannies like my patches. That being said there’s the Elm Fork shooting sports area if you’re willing to drive to something actually decent
>>64759937>Rifle range doesn't accept FMJ ammo.I was pretty excited reading about Elm Fork until I saw that.
>>64760026nta but yeah huh, that's quite an odd set of range rules, not that I'm any range expert but while steel core or API I can understand a little if they're worried about sparks why on earth would you ban FMJ unless you were running lead free entirely, but in that case it'd include TMJ/TSJ/bonded etc too not just FMJ. And only on the 100yd range, not on the 50yd? And also they want you to have at least 3x mag, does that mean a variable optic is ok if the range jannie sees you dialed it up enough but not at base or does it require you to run an HPVO or something? Usually when you see something strange you can at least theorycraft as to why but I don't get some of those at all.
>>64760026I shot FMJ there though not the 100 yard
can you even call yourself a /k/ommando?
>>64759612Yeah yeah, post your MP5.

>>64760131Yes thats true? Regardless I prettymuch alternate becuase its fun to slap unobstructed.
>>64760131Or did you think i meant cheek weld when i said "chin weld", idk if thats an actualy term but its funny.
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.
>>64759916>collides with star>billions of years later it explodes>GRB infected with trioxinDear god
>>64759916Do you want Dead Space?This is how we get Super Dead Space.
>>64758081this totally happened
>>64758075See, I've seen enough videos of people being hit by small FPV drones and 12.7mm to know that they'll take off body parts, and in the end that's all you really need. Spam drones until the horde is just body parts and torsos stumbling around looking like partially peeled bananas, then move in with mounted .50's. Turn them into writhing chunks, then tarp the entire fucking town and tear it down to its foundations to find all the bits and pieces. Then, barrel them and build a decomissioning pyramid in the flattest, widest, most uninhabited desert you have, and incinerate the pieces in pressure vessels for long-term storage until you can figure out a way to break it all down to component atoms.

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?
>>64758364>all teh Iranian people have to do is let their fellow Iranians in the police and army know that they will not be harmed and that everyone wants a change. At this point violence is counterproductive.When this is what you get for asking nicely it's not so much that you're choosing violence as it is that there's just no other option left on the table.
>>64760107And apparently their own civilians too, apparently anything goes as long as it's not being used against an oppressive islamic theocracy or other dictatorship. But you showed me a video of someone saying exactly what the government told them to say while not getting shot so clearly the ayatollah is based and it's all the kikes and americans who are in bodybags, right?
>>64757950>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.You'd do either a pistol or a rifle but not both. You'd also probably omit body armor since no one there would be conditioned for operating in it, access to traume care for shots outside the plates is minimal, and no one has drilled for plates-forward movement or shooting or the aggression necessary for armor to tactically pay off. Plus there's no artillery etc to justify non-tactical usage as passive protection.So basically it's 3k for a weapon, magazines and load carriage. A cheap SA AR15 carbine from PSA is about $600. Throw on a chinesium red dot or LPVO for another $200. Another $100 for mounts, batteries, screwdriver. PSA does a deal with 7 magpull mags and a rifle bag for $100. Call it 70 CPR for 1000 rounds of old fashioned M855.That leaves $1300 for load carriage, water bottles, whatever. Easily done. Throw a few packs of gum in every kit and wish them luck.

Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.
>>64759781>i am aggressive for no reason other than its how i always act
>>64759145Ok. That doesn’t change the fact it was a small hog and it could have been killed with a .22 LR or .22 Mag.I see you still haven’t posted YOUR 5.7 and are relying on others.
>>64759935>I still haven't posted my 5.7
>>64759781>tiny and pathetically weakThat's every handgun cartridge, though
>>6475978122 hornet is a great revolver round. I personally prefer 22 rem jet though. The 53 is really versatile.>>64760021>could have been killed with a .22 LR or .22 Mag.Absolutely. Now imagine having a gun that could be both in one gun yet with drastically better projectiles. Hence the Five-seveN. Worth pointing out that what wasn't a legal cartridge for that WMA was .357, 9mm, or any of the big bore revolver rounds. Also note he wasn't attacked by bears but if he would have been a 5.7 would've been the only option that wouldn't have resulted in a felony trespassing charge. I guess I can concede that a 9mm/big bore revolver would definitely be more effective at stopping bear attacks in this location since you'll never be able to access the property with one lmao.

Back in june italy was pondering about the possibility of developing a nuclear carrier. Back then it was still considered too ambitious of a an endeavour and quite hefty on the navy budget, but with the current increase in tensions between europe and the usa i believe it will be accomplished. Now, what i wonder is: will the nuclear rearmament of italy influence other nations as well?https://www.armyrecognition.com/news/navy-news/2025/italy-evaluates-nuclear-powered-aircraft-carrier-under-long-term-naval-modernization-strategy
>>64752911Buddy back then if you had the slightest idea how Italy was you would have been antsy about them having anything more than surplus Carcanos. Place was absolutely riddled with pinkos from top to bottom.
>>64759784It's not much different today
>>64759383you chose the only country in the whole world who would be asinine enough to do everything themselves.
>>64751581We need nuclear weapons and aircraft carriers to deter the US.
>>64751580Nuclear powered vessels mean power projection, which imply wars of aggression, which constitutionally Italy can't do, especially because it has no foreign territories and as such it doesn't even have the excuse of defending them like bongs and frogs.Personally I think Italy should focus on actual national defense, by kicking Americans off italian soil, as they're more and more a liability since the pedo in charge started doing the schoolyard bully with its allies, signining a nuclear umbrella treaty with France for the sake of it, and building the largest submarine fleet one can imagine, making the Mediterranean such a trap that it would start wearing programming socks, then never step outside of it. As a bonus, have proper joint defense treaties with nations facing the Adriatic and maybe Spain too.I guess one can say the expeditionary force is to defend trade routes from minor threats like pirats, which fair enough I guess, they were effective and efficient at shooting down Houti drones after all, but a nuclear carrier would be such a money sink to not be worth it, not to mention the PR nightmare.

Why is everyone still pretending that we're living the 20th century? People are so tired of waiting for these weapons that they're building the things themselves in their garages.
>>64752492In open warfare it would mean that soldiers can effectively ignore small frag from most drone dropped grenades. Obviously FPVs with RPG warheads that can blow up tanks would still kill power armor, but it would go a long way to protecting against shrapnel from the most common type of drone munition, dropped grenades. But it's stupid to even consider it for open warfare right now, it won't be useful for that until it's been used by SOF spooks for a decade or so to get all the kinks ironed out, and SOF spooks are the ones who would get the most use out of it anyway. See- the Maduro operation, a small group of extremely well trained and well armed guys door kicking and getting out quickly. I'm not suggesting that it's a good idea to just expose yourself to gunfire on purpose even with scifi power armor, but in a scenario where speed is critical it means your operators can literally just bull rush enemy positions instead of potentially getting bogged down in a firefight, and in these scenarios every second that you are not punching through to your objective is another second that the enemy is going to be trying to recover and reorganize to actually fight back.
