Should pilots carry side arms/survival weapons? Or is it completely pointless?
>>64552127>Should pilots carry side arms/survival weapons?Yes, but only if it's the AKS-74u because sexo.AR-7 niggers need not apply.
>>64552134>loose ak floating around the cockpitlmao i love it
>>64552127The question isn't will she be homewrecked, but by who. The fact that several names immediately appeared in your mind tells you you know it too.
Pilots carry side arms/survival weapons.
>>64552127Bandage is hot. Post more.
>>64552147You see Ivan, holding AK with knees in cockpit while flying is not different than American driver steering car with knees while eating Big Mac. Is perfectly doable.
>>64552127Shego was hotter
>>64552156>can't find AK>nose down hard>vodka, ak, smokes, whatever else start flying around the cockpitin Russia, we call this maneuver 'cleaning the pantry'
>>64552154Okay, I guess
>>64552127>Or is it completely pointless?if you get downed, you want something with you
>the OP’s barely disguised fetish
>>64552182
>>64552134Only a Russian would think that makes sense kek.
This the Shego thread?
>>64552353What do you think F35 pilots need protection from?
You probably do want something to defend yourself against the wildlife with if shot down, yes.
>>64552127This again?Yes. Obviously.
>>64552221it's fine everyone at that generation had a crush on her when they were children
>>64552147>>64552351The soviets made leg holsters for the aks-74u for pilots to use but i guess Ivan is too cool to use one. be like ivan.
I think gwen and kim should fuckbut to answer your question, what does a pilot do if they eject or land somewhere that isn't friendly? go full metal gear solid and just steal guns on-site?
>>64552512Somehow makes it worse.>>64552554Surrender when met with resistance?
>>64552127>Shadman
>>64552864>Somehow makes it worse.Trust me Anon, in my country I'm professional. Is this face of man who would lie to you? All will be well, you see.
>>64553119He gives me accidentally shooting his dick off vibes.
Is this the same fucking autist from /m/?
>>64552127No they shouldn't.Yes they are pointless.
>>64553309based!
>>64553309>Help me
>>64552127>shot down over Nam>I'd rather not have bamboo pedicures thanks
Sex with 2D women.
>>64553774Based.
>>64552127if there are no downsides, I say yeah I'd definitely fuck herI mean, carry a weapon
>>64552127Pilots like that should carry lube.
>>64552127How many times are you going to post this fucking thread? There is literally no reason not to arm pilots for if they have to eject or ditch.
>>64552127I would want to, but I’m not sure it’s in the manual.
>>64555382There's a very real chance it's the same fucking autist from /m/ that's mad about Witch from Mercury and got himself into such a hole in an argument about it that the only way he can save face in his head is to somehow assert that pilots in both real life and Gundam shouldn't be armed.I wish I was fucking joking.
>>64555844Good God.
>>64555866People are fully within their rights to like or dislike a show and discuss it, but at some point you've got to look in the goddamn mirror and wonder what you're doing with your life.
>>64552915My brother in Christ that is AI generated and probably doesn't even have Shad's degenerate doodles in its dataset. Sit your ignorant ass down.
>>64552127yes
>>64555844Kek. I saw the thread there about it. There were levels of autism being reached I didn't know were possible, even for /m/
>>64552127Every car I've ever driven has come with an emergency/parking brake.I have never needed to use that brake for an emergency,But I am glad it's there just in case.I'm sure a pilot doesn't think twice about having a pistol or SMG in their survival kit.
>>64555382Because it's extra shit in their kit? Unless we are talking about helicopter pilots.
>>64552127God damn I had such a boner-crush on Kim Possible as a kid
>>64553119>>64552512Isn’t that Earl from My Name is Earl? Is this one of the things he needs forgiveness for? What did he do with his bombs?
>>64557365we all did
>>64552127Only a few pounds of gear attached to the ejection seat. You're not saving anything of note.
>>64552367
>>64558568But wouldn't that space be better used for other things?
>>64555844I saw that thread. I want to apologize on behalf of my fellow /m/anchildren for that retard's shit being flung everywhere.
>>64558791Why would a compact self defence and hunting tool on your chest rig be a bad use of space? That's typically how a sidearm is stored for a jet pilot.Does it not strike you that an entire additional set of utilities like that is potentially more useful than just more of something they already have in their emergency kit?
>>64560012Because if it's a fighter jet and deep in enemy territory you will just get captured.
>>64552127Yes, they do it for a reason. A few actually.They don't know where, when or under what circumstances they would have to eject. This could be in the middle of nowhere, so a gun of some sort is nice to have just for foraging or defense against dangerous animals. For instance the Soviets designed a 3 barrel survival gun that mates with a machete (which acts as a stock when sheathed) after a wayward group of cosmonauts ended up stranded in Siberia for a few days throwing empty cans at a pack of aggressive wolves.They could also eat shit over contested territory with pissed off combatants on the ground. Odds are the pilot would be captured, sure, but they aren't always in the mood to take prisoners after being bombed relentlessly. A lone pilot with an M4 or AKS-74U isn't going to take on an army by themselves, but it could be just enough to get out of a tight spot or hold them back long enough to be extracted.
>>64552134>Yes, but only if it's the AKS-74uCome on, anon. Show some love to full auto pistols.
>>64563839And if it's a situation where it would be useful?
>>64552127Why did they tie the rope around her tits, aka the widest part of her torso? All she has to do is wiggle a bit and the rope will fall down slack around her waistThose ropes around her thighs don't look like they're doing anything either
>>64564688Because that is the correct way to restrain a female IDF F35 pilot prior to enhanced interrogation?
>>64555894I know, you fucking dumb douche.
>>64557102Compared to everything else you have to carry the addition of a side arm or light carbine is nothing. There's like 30+ items that go into that. If I went down somewhere remotely possible, hell even somewhere friendly I would feel much better with a sidearm or carbine. If I run into hostile wildlife or some isis tier group that will set me ablaze, what am I supposed to do? Shout at them? You cite helos as having more space but at least they usually have crew serves and are never manned by a single person, you eject with a jet its you on your own or maybe with your WSO.
>>64564918He's mistaking 'helos carry even more shit because you don't have to eject with it' for 'only helo crews carry weapons'.
>>64564926I am assuming Helicopter crew should have carbines or smgs for the same reason other vehicle crews have weapons. While Jet pilots are usually deep within enemy lines, or fighting over their own territory using either standoff weapons or acting as an interceptor. Other reason is helicopters get downed by squad based weapons while Jets get downed by shit that is literally minimum at the brigade level, and so even the fucking brigadier general himself probably knows where the pilot got downed.
>>64558808>I want to apologizenah it was amusing lol
>>64552134>AR-7What century do you think this is?
>>64552127They don't make 'em like they used to.
>>64567105I actually have never posted on the mech board. I don't post on the anime boards.
>>64567089Do you think SERE training is a waste of time too? Air forces clearly don't agree with your take, given that they give both sidearms and SERE training to pilots.
Hey OP, you gay retard. Put yourself in this situation. If you had to ditch over ISIS controlled territory, would you ratherA) Get captured without a real fight, go through weeks/months of torture and be a pawn for negotiation (if you're lucky) or more likely be executed in a horrifying wayB) Have a light rifle that you can 1) hunt small game with, 2) fight off captors (especially if they're some local auxiliary types) and 3) if shit gets really bad off yourself to prevent your capture
>>64567157>When the chief of the air force is an avid hunter on drugs
>>64567930I think it's incredibly unlikely you can hunt and survive off small game with a rifle inside enemy territory.>>64567887They spend most SERE training on resisting interrogations and escaping once already captured.
>>64568906Instead we should train our aircrew to fashion spears, bows and spread their cheeks for their captors. If you're too much of a bitch to carry a rifle just say it and drop the rifle.
>>64567930>lucky) or more*and
>>64552915Shaddius Maximus died. He is no more.
>>64569386Wait, really?>He was a soldier of Rule 34. Honour him.
>>64568906And what, dear anon, do they spend the rest of the time in SERE training for?I have absolutely no idea why you're disputing the basic fact that sidearms are issued and generally considered a good idea.
>>64569386No, he was homeless for a while after his mother found some porn he had drawn of her and subsequently kicked him out.He's not only still alive, but just posted some degenerate furry porn on his Twitter account earlier today.
>>64569508Show it
>>64569508didn't he also get hooked on black tar heroin?
>>64567157goering was such a faggot, christ almighty
>>64570057Based.
>>64553774Hell yeah
>>64552134So he’s going to use that after he gets launched out of a vehicle traveling at 700 mph? Or is it to make him feel safe?
