>>65261242It would be extremely painful
What is the american version of implessive?We are all aware that they are trying to flog fake HIMARS to countries the US denied direct sale of HIMARS to, and lockhood is buthurt that at the cost of the PAC-3 many states don't want to adopt themSo will the US refit M1140 chasis with lockheeds missiles and try to sell them as a budget HIMARS to countries denied acess to actual Himars? Absolutely. Will anyone buy them? doubt it.

>>65264109sounds about right yeah, I personally like a slower rof but that looks fun!
>>65262520>Glock FRTs suck assCoworker just installed a Glock binary, range report delayed.
>>65264252Yeah, I think this is as slow as I can get it without swapping buffer springs or doing more tinkering. It's perfect 4'oclock ejection unsuppressed so I'm happy where it's at for now.
>>65264329I’d be curious to hear about it. I’d love to be proven wrong, but I’ve seen and experienced poor results.
>>65264652Not that guy but I do have a gen 3 glock 34 which is my FRT host and it runs pretty well among my friends, but what I will say is that it was super annoying to get the "technique" out of it. Lots of tuning and whatnot. I heard the one piece versions work pretty well though, but I haven't tried it
Are there any /k/lowns in here that are strictly no-clone purists, if so what is your reasoning? For those who only buy clones, do you feel like you have fake guns? Do you believe a gun is defined by its brand, or quality? I'm sure we do have to have some anons who strictly only buy guns made by white hands rather than third worldies who get paid 10 bananas per gun.
>>65260125i go past that, by which i mean i clone the guns because i only really trust guns i've made myself. i buy parts kits, detail inspect them then replace the parts i'm not satisfied with, not just ars and glocks but guns you can't even get 80% for, hipoint carbines, ruger lcps stuff like that.
>>65260688damn, that's impressive anon
Can any boomers tell me what it was like when people still used revolvers? Was .38 spl the same price as 9mm or .45 acp? Now .38 is like 3x the price of 9mm for a really shitty load like lead round nose from some foreign company. And non Taurus trash revolvers go for the same price as a high-end pistol like an HK or SIG
>>65259815more storytimes, please
>>65259815This was a fantastic read, thank you, Anon
If you shoot any standard revolver caliber on a regular basis, you should be reloading.The economies of scale are reduced due to most people using autoloaders.
>>65256989Because they're fun
>>65256989Most places you'd find a little 9X19, (marked 9mm Luger) usually 115 grain, occasionally 124 grain, always full patch. The higher end gunshops would have european label 9X19, and then you'd find hollowpoints or the like..38 Special you had a bunch to chose from, but if you walked into a better shop and said you wanted "A Box of .38", they'd ask you what kind of .38 revolver, as people still had old nightstand guns in .38 S&W, or .38 Short Colt.9X19 was usually more money, unless you wanted something like .38 Special Metal Piercing or .38 Tracer..45 ACP unless it was plain old USGI ball was usually more money, but it was often match ammo you were looking at. Stuff like flying ashcans for use in revolvers.GI surplus/230 grain ball was usually in between midrange .38 Special and the euro makes of 9X19. You had a lot of people actually shooting .45 ACP revolvers instead of just "investing", so you usually had a good selection of various .45 ACP in a decent shop. You also saw a lot more .45 AutoRim.
Cops should only carry revolvers and shotguns. Rifles should be reserved exclusively for SWAT.This alone would stop a lot of shootings. It would force better marksmanship, and people are more comfortable around revolvers or shotguns than glocks and ARs.
>>65260863>Don't break the law>get shot anyway because the cop got scared :,(
>>65259691>Cops are a tool of the eliteLocal police are a tool of the elite? At least say feds lmao, you have no idea how civics work.
>>65263402"The Elite" is a blanket term but if you don't believe that local cops are full of corruption then I question your understanding of civics myself. The ones in my town have multiple times let the mayor off with a warning for drunk driving and let him get away with a hit and run. Now there's a lot more to that, irrelevant for this. Cops are not your friends who want to help the community they are people who willingly take peoples rights away, justified or not, they are the arm of the state who enforces the states will on whatever level that may be and it is their only function. If the will of the state is to help and aid it's people then cops would be seen in a very different light.
>>65259409>donut operatorWow he changed

How are large, bureaucratic, technological armies designed for large scale maneuvers and combined arms combat supposed to deal with insurgents that don’t identify themselves and blend in with civilian populations?
>>65255599Ay yooo ill take 5 grams500 pesatas
>>65255642Then don't get involved in a "war" you can't possibly win
>>65255599By killing anyone that isn't them. Next question.
>>65261804Nah, pre-revolution Iran was very much a rural, agricultural, and poorly educated country with a minority of its population living in cities. It was also a very repressive dictatorship, so any political contestation to the state typically got crushed violently rather than being adressed in a more sensible manner.Not that the Ayatollahs endend up being any better, they were just the biggest (only?) organized political group left after 3 decades of dictatorship, due to being the main religious structure, thus well- implanted within society. They weren't welcomed unanimously either, they just had the means to crush their competition, then lucked out by having Saddam's very own SMO legitimize their rule in the eyes of the population at large.
>>65255642No they're not. If you're not there to conquer and either subjugate or eliminate the enemy, you are fighting a losing war. There is no win condition.
Hello /k/ommado(/k/edditor//k/ike). Your workplace has assigned (you) the task of equipping and commanding a small force of armed guards to protect research teams going into the Backrooms. >Your Primary Mission:>Protect company science teams from Hazardous Environments and Hostile Entities. >Secondary Objectives:>Destroy any and all hostile entities that could be a threat to the science team>Assist Science Team in mapping out the backrooms, collecting data/artifacts and trapping entities, if possible. >Search and Rescue: Look for any survivors/recover bodies from previous expeditions. You have been given a fairly decent budget of 3 million US Dollars for equipping and training this defense team. You have also been given access to any firearm found on the US civilian market, most non-experimental military small arms (that means pretty much any modern machine gun/SBR), and a US federal explosives license. Payroll will be done by another department and is not a part of your budget. You will be paid handsomely for your efforts and contributions to the safety of the scientific personal under your supervision. There is one caveat: you absolutely, under NO circumstances, take casualties. Lots of previous exploration teams have been lost, with some later recovered deceased. Your training must reflect this! If too many people go missing, people will start asking questions! Good Luck.

>Imagine limiting your target space to a 2d planeAnyone remember the TNG space blockade episode with Data as an acting captain and Denise Crosby taking the role of Seska?
>>65260437Yes
>>65259393Yeah.Most teevee and movie space battles look too much like WWII battleship engagements. All operating in one plane like a sea surface, everyone is right side up w.r.t. everyone else. Manuvering is insanely slow compared to any reasonable velocities for interplanetary travel.

Had MacArthur not taken away divions and resources from Nimitz due to the liberation of the Philippines, could Nimitz have pulled off the invasion of Taiwan (Operation Causeway)?:https://youtu.be/9cB2HT3czpg
>>65260488I'd say It would be rather similar to the Battle for Luzon due to the large scale urban battles right after the amphibious invasion. But since back in WW2 civilian casualties weren't as big of a deal was compared to modern day, urban warfare was way easier since carpet bombing was allowed. The US took Manila by bombing entire buildings out of existance because the Japanese defenders would defend each building to the death.
>>65260247Timeline and the troop estimation requirements for operation causeway
>>65260968
Since Taiwan was legally seceded to Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War, would an American-occupied, post-Causeway Taiwan still be given to the ROC? I can see it being returned to Japanese control like Okinawa. Or maybe even a US territory as unlikely as that might be.
>>65263846I don't know about territory but like Okinawa with the US already being set up on the island were they to take it themselves they'd probably be more determined to maintain a permanent presence as a garrison as opposed to outright ownership which ties them more closely to the interests of the ROC, meaning they most likely would have put more effort into ensuring they at the very least don't get kicked off the mainland by the PRC
