Why join the coast guard over other branches?
>>64772342>NOAAWould advise against it.NOAA has an officer corps. Smallest uniformed branch I think. It's tiny.>coworker was a NOAA officer>he said his job was to drive race tracks in the pacific off the Baja peninsula while researchers counted whales>but he did this after being a division 1 athlete>and getting an engineering degree from Notre Dame>good guy, but questionable choice
>>64773347Nah, USPHS has the smallest. Their Commissioned Corps are all doctors and nurses, mostly stationed at the CDC or Indian reservations.
I was, but I chickened out. Now I have a steady career and money in the bank. I won't know if I'll have all of this if I did join, but I still do wonder what life would be like if I joined.
What are good coast guard rates?
Its the only branch that actively HELPS the citizens of its own nation.
which weapons would a modern day vampire hunter use? no wooden stakes, no crossbows, silver blades, no holy water flasks or garlic necklaces allowed, just modern cutting edge tech.
>>64776603That's the chick from Dredd
>>64776621Right? She was so cute in that movie
It's the Monday of SHOT SHOW 2026, the world's largest gunshow. Last year's thread was a marathon in six parts. Let's have a comfier thread this year.
This is peak 2026 posting, wowhttps://twitter.com/BenBergquam/status/2013338855257120781
>>64776528I hate how guns = R became a thingfucking hell
>>64775246nice
>>64776433at least make it difficult to get, you'll fill that up day one
>>64776589You'll love r/liberalgunownwers!
psa..... i kneelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3ULmhiW1WE
>>64776465>nobody is constantly changing their pistol configthis is correct up until very recently.much like how at one point firearms were manually operated with bolts and levers and then suddenly werent
Wow more sweatshop slop. I'm sure it will be great just like everything else PSA makes.
>>64776276>X9 trashed for jackal clone #73837Fucking gay
>>64776276I don't get it. >>64776465this. i have one set up for my pistol and thats it. im going to build it and forget it. how can i insure that it's going to be accurate or work if im constantly rebuilding it or changing some feature.
Why does PSA want the market of other better made guns? Just make affordable options of things, make things inexpensive, provide well built Glock clones and parts, AR15 parts, etc, etc. just provide cheap slop like the manufacturer that you are and quit pretending people trust your quality.
>There's people around that really believe chinese hypersonic memes can hit american ships sailing at 30 knots in the middle of the ocean LOL
>>64775866If I remember correctly they locked all the reporters at the test site until they could bulldoze the entire site where the construction workers were living. Accounts said there had to be hundreds of workers living in the area before the accident and it was just gone the next time they drove passed
>>64772024Don't they have an abort feature?
>>64772011Reminds me of this
>>64773448Based effort post thanks. This is not even considering if their MARSATs have been uh, visited, by an X-37. Whoopsie. >>64773262Agree. It will be a distant maritime intervention chokeout. USN pulls the operation anaconda/starvation literally our one playbook, old reliable, then its GG. Any war with the US is either curb stomping a random country or chilling until the grey hulls can make a cordon that says you dont get food or fuel anymore. Sending positive vibes! >personally hoping for the Based timeline where best korea flips and there is a sickle cut armored offensive out of the peninsula straight into the metro core of the CCP
When will the USS Ford be able to launch F-35C's?
>>64772202Correct, because it doesn't need to wait until the midlife upgrade for the F-35C capability.
>>64772164How bad are things for BRICS when the cope line is "the US military will save us"?
>>64772395So do you think that some hiring guidance and workplace policies were actually a secret society or what.
>>64776605>schizo bumping his shit thread
https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/12/2025-12-23-rheinmetall-hands-over-first-skynex-system-to-italyA massive improvement against loitering munitions and drones, able to spot targets up to 50kms and destroy them at 4. But most of all, another milestone for the increasingly intimate relationship between the italian and german defense industry.
>>64774288Oh hey, I've seen this one before
Do these zigger retards realize russia invested heavily in SHORAD
>>64774395>looks immobile hence easy to destroyIt's for consumer drones launched from Russian shadow fleet tankers, Italy isn't expecting to be taking ballistic missiles any time soon.
>>64774592>Wouldnt it just get blown up by a bunch of tomohawk missiles or something?It might actually be able to stop tomahawks, if it got lucky I guess.Ballistic missiles would get through but this is not a defence against ballistic missiles.Not all air defences address all aerial threats.>>64774731>Russia just delivered a drone onto the runway of an Irish airport in an attempt to unalive ZelenskyWas that actually armed?There was almost no information on it other than that it was a drone and believed to be Russian.
>>64776493Nobody expects Ethiopia to win a third time
Which are the best snow camos?
>>64775282>from the people that brought you urban trash bag camo>snowman camo! The new and cool way to blend into snowy regions without raising suspicion!
>>64775113winter marpat for total snowand finlands m05 for snowy woodlands
>>64775282Takes me back to the snowman skin on ratchet and clank

>>64772799Technically, I was thinking of the Lancer Viper brake, but close enough to be similar.
>>64772799>upon further review>Caliber: .223/5.56Can't have a poodle shooter on the big dog.
Do you put stuff on your carrier on your stong or weak side ?
>>64776256Both?

Realistically, what firearm would you need to take down a rampaging Na'vi from the Avatar films? Nine feet of solid muscle and bone (reinforced with natural carbon fibre), extremely fast-moving and agile, fighting on their own turf with very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut it, would 7.62mm be enough?

>>64775500this drawing would have been hot if she was just pregnant and not a fatass.
>>6477238630mm would have turned that simp's torso to red mist.
>>64776032You didn't pay attention and you don't know the round type. An APFSDS would just hole the skull. Possibly still intact to leave a neat exit wound too.
>>64776554
Thoughts about SCAR Gen 2?
>>64769779what sea of ar18 piston guns are you swimming in?
So I already have a 17 (ancient pic related), should I get one of the new 16s just to make people seethe?
>>64775805AbsolutelyDon't forget to mount a steiner cqt and whatever full power laser looks the coolest
>>64775791bren grot mr556psa jaklbrn180mcxhelionand various lesser known pison ar15s
>>64775805My dilemma now is do I try and track down a discontinued 13" 17 barrel assembly or do I wait out and hope FNH releases alternate barrels for nu-SCAR any time soon within the next 2 years.
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?
>>64757958>>64759153I really can't argue with either of these.I would only add that pistols should be dropped where there is lots of police control.PSA rifles dropped where there is little to no police control.Startlink dropped off to known allied persons who will distribute them.
>>64758701>going for the banal oversaturated e-thot trad larp instead of the baddie arthoe we thought forgottenngmi
>>64769681That falls under the >secret police that occasionally arrests, tortures and executes folk for no reasoncategory.Which is really bad, but since half the country thinks this is the will of Allah and perfectly fine, you also need the economic crisis to really rile people up.
>>64757950Several kits for a master kit with cartoony instructions for assembly.
>>64772479Its the art hoes we never knew we had, whose loss hurts us the most. RIP baddie.
Did glocks ruin pistol designs?
>>64776489No, Trump did.
Yes
I loved the 92 because as a child I had an airsoft one. But being an adult and having reached the age of self-awareness, one cannot help but realize the 1911-45 is peak autopistol and everything that came after is just slop and nothing more.
With modern lasers, capacitors, and power plants how many 500 lb JDAMs could be shot down if all were targeting the laser?Let's assume 2 kilometers altitude, 1000 km/h speed.Could they even do 1?
>>64776208
Would a cargo fixed wing craft have any niche in a game like this?I don't think more cruise missiles than a darkreach (rapid dragon) would be a good idea for gameplay purposes, and airport to airport supply/units has nearly no use.
>>64776377We have a pair of utility/cargo helicopters. However I don't think a fixed wing cargo plane would really fit unless they let you deploy a shitload of assets. The tarantula already covers the sort of heavy cargo AND gunship roles.
>>64776523>>64776377I don't think it would work on heartland but on the Ignus Archipelago it might our heavy lift helicopters are SO slow compared to fixed wing. If you could bring like boltstrikes or skylances to actually push people back then maybe. On the other hand that thing is going to be a massive missile magnet and it's going to have almost zero chance of dodging.
>>64769122>Burning a whole through them probably exeeds design parameters by a bit.*holeAnd also, if the hole doesn't go through the fuse or detonator, probably not. By far a more plausible defeat route is changing control surfaces such that they miss.
its now cool as fuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pj4cnZZWFg
>>64775766I agree, fuck Fiat. Alfa Romeo 4lyfe.
>>64775860>Alfa Romeoa great car for walking enthusiasts
>>64770176does it still use 5.7 and not 9mm?cause otherwise its still broke.
>>64776022If your car is so soulless that you can say things like that about it and not worry it will take offense, you might as well take the bus.
>>64770176you may not like it but ps90 with fart trigger is the peak urban pdw>braap braap burst of 5.7
