Am I the only one legitimately surprised that there has not been a Cold War gone hot FPS?
Not even trying to sound /v/, but jesus there is so much room to work with in the Cold War to make absolute insane cash cows
Just imagine a Battlefield 1 esque to the game

What do you guys think? How would /k/ addon/critique/rewrite to this type of idea?
Also Cold War general.
There as been Anon, both Operation Flashpoint (sorta like a pre ArmA ArmA) and ArmA 2 have Americans and Russians/Soviets fighting

Where is the front sight?
see this thing? it's called the SR25, it's chambered in 7.62 real fucking NATO
With it's 20 round magazines, proprietary suppressor, and semi auto action, it's a fucking power multiplier
it spits extremely accurate lead all the way up to fucking 900 meters
it's the best long range rifle ever created
prove me wrong.
>7.62
>best long range rifle

>>34170291
why isn't the army using 26 nosler?
nah it's not good
are 9 millimeter SMGs viable for combat in 100-200 meter range?
No. If you want one get one. If you want CQB nowadays you get an SBR rifle.
>>34169940
If you could only take one gun with you to live in the woods which one would it be?
I am looking for a survivalist firearm.
>>34169129
AK12
>>34169129
NEF or H&R single shot 12 gauge. Any other choice is not a real practical.
>>34169212
This, single shot 12 gauge is a best option for survival rifle
Lets have one of these.
>>34165755
Unless Oppie shows up, there is no point in having a nuke thread. And he's harder to spot nowadays because he no longer uses his trip. We will have to put all our energy into summoning him.
>>34165761
>We will have to put all our energy
what the fuck was her problem?
Hot damn this made me diamonds
Is this a boys .55
...being fired by a girl?
All I know is thats a big gun right there. And that look on her face after she shot it, she was ready to do some operating after that.
>>34165478
that`s not a fucking boys
that's a mauser 1918 tank gewehr
>13.2 Tank und Flieger
>.55 boys
Why do you hurt me Anon?

>Is this a boys .55
Its 1941 and The fuhrer has placed you in charge of creating a new mbt. You have access to all of the German weapons programs in between 1941 and 1943, the tank must be ready by mid 43.
What do?
>>34165332
Just take the Panther, make a not over engineered transmission, Increase the thickness of the front by a little bit, a lower slope and put the Engine in the Front of the Vehicle not the back,
Advance the Maus. Superior firepower is superior.
>>34165338
>Increase the thickness of the front
the sides need shoring up more than the front as .50's would penetrate through the sides just above the wheels.
memes aside are these actually doable or are they just shit?
They are doable but not really worth it if you can just buy a gun.
>>34164070
it can be done. but the question becomes, after what point is the finished product good enough that it is no longer"improv"
both? I mean they're ease to make, but the main purpose of improvised weapons is to use them to kill a guy and take his shit, they're not meant to be used for a prolonged period of time or anything
Did it ever occur to /k/ that in a SHTF scenario you anons that play "operator" will probably be shooting and killing each other? Hell you could be the most self proclaimed badass /k/ommando around and be kill by a fedora wearing, katana weilding neck beard.
So what I'm getting at is, based on what other anons are like/post how do you think you'd fair against your faceless adversary?
>>34157650
did it ever occur to you that /k/ is tired of your lame ass shitposting ?
>>34157737
Its safe to say you'd be taken out by bubba with a tapco stock on his SKS. Screaming shitpost as you die
>>34157650
I keep wondering how many people will actually have solvent traps stuck on the end of their guns, and how many will have actual suppressors with the tax stamp, and then how many will have something like a potato or bread loaf on the muzzle.
>Do you know why I pulled you over?
>>34156964
>you thought I was a nigger?
>>34156964
Gotta pad that pension fund somehow I imagine.
>>34156964
Donuts in the concrete pad off Old 60? You know that is private road and therefore legal for me to do that shit on, right?
Hey /k/
I want a good gun for home defense in a small apartment. My ceiling is $1000. What would you buy? What do you use now?
Pic related. Jeb has a Glock 19. I hear it's a good gun but I don't want to be a turtlecuck.
>>34180197
S&w 5906
Just buy a glock or a mossberg 500 with No4 buckshot or any sort of 16inch 5.56 ar15
>>34180277
Dont shoot an AR in a small apartment.
A shotgun in a small apartment will hurt your ears but definately viable.
Can /k/ walk me through the process of legally buying a handgun when under 21 for Arizona? i'm having a hard time finding guides and methods
>>34179822
>legally buying a handgun when under 21 for Arizona
Nope. It ain't legal, dipshit.
What about black powder percussion cap or flint lock pistols?
>>34179943
Pretty sure you can get it from gifting or private sales but I just wanted verification
Can we have a thread of the most aesthetic military insignia especially SOF's.
