Why is this ugly piece of shit so coveted and grailed among normie firearm social media? I’m sure it’s a pleasure to shoot but it looks soulless as fuck and has all those gay cutouts, the ugly star logo, and a flared magwell looks like ass on a 1911. People actually pay $2,000 plus for these.
>>64625865I would because it’s made from metal and not oil byproduct.
>>64625874you've obviously never shot a staccato, you dumb ass. they're about 90% oil when properly maintained.
>>64625974I wouldn’t pay thousands for a plastic slop toy gun so you’re right
>>64625988of course you wouldn't, you're a broke piece of shit.
>>64625774I paid 2500 for mine, more accurate than my sp5k btw

Please advice me on gear to take with me to buy beforehand and also please on communication / phones hard to trace by radar or ability to read my locationBefore political shitstorm in thread im only doing this for reasons of practicality in my life situation not politics. Pls keep topic on gear and comms
>>64623663Love from Kazakhstan. I hate russians so much it's unreal.

>>64608323You'll be dead within a couple months so dont worry about your gear it doesn't really matter
>>64610634who else is going to throw their life away to fight a losing war for ukraine?
>>64608323Godspeed, anon.Mentioned a million times:Bring quality base layers, winter in the steppes is a bitch. Woolpower comes to mind. Also socks socks socks.Regarding phones, you will probably be briefed what you can and cannot bring, stick to that.
Talk about artillery and shells is slowly fading away.New military drone companies popping up like mushrooms after rain.Less and less arty noises heard in the background of Ukraine war videos.
>>64625957they had Donbabwe republic but it became too ragged a fig-leaf to hide behindand you're trying to definition-lawyer me now, abandoning completely your central claim that there are no NATO "volunteers" in Ukraineshamefur dispray
>>64625978You're the one trying to expand the definitions to the point they lose actual meaning.>abandoning completely your central claim that there are no NATO "volunteers" in Ukraineshamefur disprayNow you're making up shit I never said while conflating things like volunteers, advisors and "advisors" to mean the same thing. I'll call (You) retarded one more time.
>>64625980>NOOO YOU MUST PLAY THE DEFINITIONS GAME BECAUSE I SAY SOhow about no
>>64606505Fuck you you piece of shit I had to actually look at this thread full of retards to come and tell you you're a moron. Germany's tank philosophy changed IMMEDIATELY upon contact with the enemy and even as early as the battle for Poland there were serious questions about whether or not the panzer was a viable part of the war strategy. Small quality of life details were most certainly hammered out by use-testing, but that could have happened anywhere. Operational knowledge and battle experience proved inconsistent with the next conflict, and almost immediately the Germans abandoned their doctrinal outlook and played a roughly equal part in the convergent evolution of the main battle tank. The most unique thing about German tanks is that the fleet was held up by the humble Stug, my beloved, which embodies the precise opposite of the German tank idea at the onset of the war: No turret, not independent, and not for clashing with enemy armor.
>>64626000I think part of the success of StuGs aside from the obvious was psychology - no StuG commander no matter how ballsy could ever be fooled into thinking he can survive without infantry around

>>64625381Because sure he wont build backdoor into it...>>64625648Peter Thiel>>64625700Worked in a machine shop run by cunts like that. "Utilization is our most Important KPI guys, we aren't making money if the machine aren't running" so they would start busting your balls if the machine wasn't running through the night. Simultaneously they gave us orders for like 8 pieces that took half an hour to make. Because having stock on hand is expensive. You can probably guess what happened. The salty chain smoking machinist who dose not care to listen to some whine and bitch to him all day about buissness metrics simply reprogram his machine so the half hour fob takes 2 hours. That way when he flips the switch to auto at 4pm he will track as 100% utilization untill he punches back in at 8 am.
I was going to purchase a .357 revolver, but I just realized I can't legally buy .38 spl ammo for a .357 magnum in my Europoor country. I know that at this point a semiauto would be a better option but I really want a revolver. My options are 3 inch barrel .38 spl revolver or a 9mm 2 inch snubnose (I can't find a 3 inch 9mm revolver here). What would be a better option for concealed carry? Also I will use moonclips and the ammo price is similar.
>>64625169>what is the price per round difference.357 is twice the price of .38 spl. >The cheapest 50 ammo box of 9mm is 18€, >The cheapest 50 round box of .38spl is 22€>The cheapest 50 round box of .357 is 41€Also I can only buy 100 rounds per year, and I can only store 150 cartridges at home. Can't reload either, the only way of shooting regularly is buying ammo in the shooting range, which is around the same price and I can buy as much as I want (as long as I don't bring home any). But the things is that I doubt that all shooting ranges will sell .357mag, .38spl is a common round because security guards use .38spl revolvers exclusively.
>>64614969A .38 revolver is better than a .357 for cc anyway since you're going to carry it infinitely more than you use it.
>>64624159Based Lietuviai.Your CC laws looks pretty similar to what we've got in Czechia.
>>64625169DESU I wouldn't feel "gimped" by a .38...
>>64625538I would go to fucking jail if I sold gunpowder, you can't even imagine how cucked Europe is
What do you do in this situation?What do you do if you cant have a gun because youre a felon.

OC sprayI have used it on people 3 times and dogs more times than i can remember, I used to walk through the hood and there were various dogs that would run up to me and i would spray them until all the dogs in the area knew who i wasI recomend POM specifically, they make keychain/pocket clip adpaters, dont get the regular white girl stuff from the gas station, its less effective than a gun but you will catch less charges, ask me how i know

I want to get into hunting. I've heard the easiest one to start with is small game. I don't want to eat squirrels so I guess my plan is rabbits with a mossberg 500 12 gauge with an improved cylinder choke and 2 3/4 inch #4 steel shot shells since I don't want to eat lead and I figure steel shit would be easier to find with like a magnet or stud finder.
>>64624639>You can get a single barrel. 410 for less than $100 plus tip.>turk shitno thanks. also how expensive is bird shot? last time I bought buckshot and slugs they were less than $1 a round. I usually only buy .22lr and .223/5.56

>>64624618>squirrel tail vestOtzi the Iceman anon?>>64624639Eh, you used to be able to get a stocked 1322 for about the same (or 1377) if you want a 10 pump. You'd be looking at maybe closer to 2 if you wanted something real fancy like a Gamo Swarm. There's always the old reliable full size 10 pumps that are nearly half the price of a 1322 but having to make a follow up shot with another manual load and pump does suck under stress. Break barrels without fancy features are probably about 100.

Why is war so easy and apparently so difficult at the same time?This was the biggest blackpill when I got my commission, that war is actually fucking boring. There is usually like one or two possible axes of advance. There aren't normally a whole lot of options to choose from when responding to enemy action. The terrain and supplies and logistics and political state and ground state dictate so much that from platoon to theatre level, your options are always limited. In theory war is very easy, it's just a matter of getting all your ducks aligned in one of a handful of possible rows and then pushing but retards continually fuck it up.With very, very few exceptions, the outcome of any war is immediately apparent before it even starts with accurate information on both sides.Also being an officer sucks.
>>64622409Although, the description and ideation of many things like this (war as politics, experience as the most important factor, friction...) might be seen almost revolutionary, for the time, and still very applicable, there is something that I would have loved for Clausewitz to also describe. Instead of focussing on internal friction, and the importance of diminishing it, leave that on the side for a bit and focus on how to cause and exploit the enemy's friction.After all, I would contend that the point of war is not necesarily about you doing well, but making sure that the enemy becomes unable to fight, in a fast and efficient manner. Although, this is my armchair warrior take of course.
>>64625810That's essentially what the Marines mean by disrupting the OPFOR's OODA loop.
>>64625810Learning how to minimize your own friction inherently teaches you how to maximize the enemy's friction, because his pain points are mostly the same as yours.
>>64622396The hard part is building the machine. If you don't have the machine and you're just making it up as you go, it's going to be brittle, and a few failures in the wrong part can bring to a screeching halt. You need parts that are interchangeable to a significant degree, because some are always going to break. You need parts that work predictably and consistently, while still having enough initiative and common sense to work around the grit that inevitably gets into the machine, stuff like weather, terrain and equipment failure. You need redundancy because sometimes *just* the right combination of parts get smashed up by enemy action and such to put that part of the machine out of action just as you need it. You need a production line that churns out new parts faster than you lose them, and it has to be well orchestrated because some parts need more time to make, and some parts need to be in the machine for longer to become useful. You need steady and predictable inputs for the machine; fuel, ammo, other consumables. You need a whole half of the machine dedicated to delivering those inputs. It's really like building a giant Rube Goldberg machine where every part can spontaneously break or just fuck off because they're sick of your shit... except when you get it wrong, the outcomes range from humiliating loss of face on the international stage, to the total extinction of your nation. A small number of nations are competent in building and maintaining this sort of machine and when they find themselves in conflict, they consistently trounce their less mechanically gifted peers.
>>64625920And even when it works it costs a lot of money to keep it running, and there are always people trying to pull money away from it to spend on other things. It's the same problem faced by security experts in the corporate world: when companies aren't getting hacked they ask what they're paying you for, and when companies are getting hacked they ask what they're paying you for.
Can anyone recommend me some /k/ino movies that involve ww2 era weapons and warfare. Doesn't have to be about ww2 specifically, it can be about a war that involves that technological level of weaponry.
