My pops wants to get a pistol so me and him can go target shooting for fun as well as home defense I guess
Is there any reason why I SHOULDN'T get a glock 19? As far as I see it the only other good option is a cz 75 or sp01 or maybe a hi point
You shold probably go with the cz75 unless you want to have to get new aftermarket sights for the glock.
>hipoint
also a good choice
There's a lot more options than that, CZ-75 and glock aren't really comparable outside of caliber and just being "pistols." Each one is very different, one's a full metal frame, one's striker fired.
I think you better do more homework before you buy.

Yes there is. Guns like the usp 45T exist which put every gun you listed to shame.
I'll just ask this here, because I don't know where else.
If a (very) high-ranking officer is accompanying a bunch of soldiers, and for no particular reason this officer freaks out and is like, abandon your posts, yells out to flee or otherwise panicking and endangering the squad/morale, can any soldier just smack him and order him to do anything?
If the officer comes to his senses later him, can he still make that soldier's life miserable or reprimand him?
I would posit Captain America's retardation in Generation Kill.

You have the right to refuse unlawful orders but you better be damn sure you are in the right and can prove it.
>He was dumb enough to go enlisted
If an officer simply doesn't like you, its fairly easy to find a way to fuck you under Article 89 and then you have a criminal record for the rest of your life.
Enjoy.

lol faggot.
Convince me not to buy one of these for my first CCW once I turn 21. I fucking dare you.
>>34016991
Not this particular one with the grip tape shit btw.
>>34016991
Why? They're good guns. Get one.
>>34016991
It's not a bad fun for cc. Do what you want to do faggot. The ass trigger wasn't fixed in the 2.0 version, and if you aren't paying more than ~360 nib you did alright.
Can anyone help me identify this uniform? I found it today at a flea market
The crosman 1377 or the 1322?
The 1377 has 600 fps while the 1322 has 450 fps. But the 1323 is a 22 cal round which carries more momentum. Which would be more accurate at long range. (I say long rang but i really only mean like 200-300 yards). Thanks broteins.
And remember: i fucking love all of you :)
>>34016870
>200-300 yards
with a pelletgun
fuck off
>>34016913
At 405 mph muzzle velocity 200 yards takes a little more than 1 second. If you think a .177 round stops before its flied for 1 second then you are probly the one who needs to fuck some offs...
Anyone know the model number for this? All of the parkerized 590s I can find have the ghost rings instead of the bead sight + heat shield combo and all of the versions with the heat shield have the blued finish.
Basically I want this gun:
https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/mobile/product/46282/redirect
But parkerized instead of blued.
On a similar note, if they don't make this gun would it be a better idea to spend extra on the parkerized ghost ring version and have the sights removed and replaced with a bead sight or to just buy the gun linked above and pay a company to parkerize it for me?
>>34016847
Just use fucking ghost rings
>>34016853
I'm faster with a bead also the heat shield looks cooler
Buy one without a heat shield that has a bead sight and buy an aftermarket heatshield for $20

ITT take an existing less lethal/ non lethal/ less than lethal idea and think of a way to make it more lethal or more effective
To start:
this device attaches to the front of a pistol to make a giant ball that can incapacitate but wont kill, you could make the ball explosive to cause an area shrapnel effect.
you can take the ball off and you get a lethal bullet to kill an attacker.
>>34016638
The entire concept of mixing non-lethal weaponry and lethal weaponry in the same device is retarded, and I am just waiting to see the first time someone accidentally double taps and the second shot is most definitely lethal.
Having a separate item for less than lethal is the safest most effective way of issuing less than lethal armaments.
>>34016638
it's clearly a glock, i don't see the need of explosives for obtaining area shrapnel effect
Anybody have any real close calls while handling weapons?
I got a good one:
>be me and best bro drinking at his place
>tell him about that 21 foot rule between gun and knife fight
>decide to test it out
>pull pistol out, unload it and have my bro safety check it
>start from real close distance using a small stick in lieu of knife
>shit is real, get stabbed every teim
>around 20 feet it gets real close, get stabbed but at least getting a round off
>we switch sides, with very similar results
>finally finish out testing, put magazine back in gun
>for whatever reason, I don't chamber it even though I carry with it fully loaded
>[couple of beers later]
>decide to pull out my pistol and shoot at my bro at point blank range to surprise him
>*click*
>realize what I've done
>holy shit! Almost shot my best bro by just fucking around
>feel fucking horrible since I'm usually the hard ass on gun safety
>bro reassures me that I knew the gun was not loaded fully since I didn't rack the slide and having that register in my mind made me do what I did
>continue to drink with bro, every now and then start to trip about it but he laughs about it
Anybody know these feels? Haven't done shit like that since. Got lucky once and I'm never gonna press my luck ever again.
To think, one additional step in me loading it and there might have been a possibility of me really shooting my bro.

In a boxing ring, one guy can utterly dominate the other. That's because there are rules. You can't bite, kick, strangle, etc. Fewer rules in UFC, but still the same.On top of that, you have laws.
But if these two same guys fought, in the real world, especially if it was life and death, the other guy could easily dominate.
Is "modern" warfare like that? Are there armies who today would lose conventional wars, but if the armies decided that they didn't care about laws, dignity, or world order, they'd war in an unbeatable way?
>tl;dr. does the Geneva convention give unfair advantage to certain countries?
No holds barred Russia and usa would decimate continents, without even using atomic devices.
It really only gives an advantage to the larger militaries and nuclear powers.
>>34016565
> if the armies decided that they didn't care about laws, dignity, or world order, they'd war in an unbeatable way?
Yeah, it's called nuclear ICBMs, famalam.
The Geneva conventions don't impose much of a disadvantage, outside very niche scenarios. They're merely a way for war between civilized dudes to not suck more than it has to.
>don't fake surrender
>don't blow up hospitals
>wear a uniform
So hard, such unfair.
>Is "modern" warfare like that?
No.
>Are there armies who today would lose conventional wars, but if the armies decided that they didn't care about laws, dignity, or world order, they'd war in an unbeatable way?
Not really. Wars are won largely by logistics and planning. Being "mean" doesn't help with either of those.

>you are with your girlfriend at the bar when suddenly this seven foot tall muscled motherfucker comes in, makes way with his poleaxe, walks up to you and grabs your girlfriend and pushes her off the chair, grabs you by the arm and drags your ass out of the bar and into a nearby church, pushes you down onto the bench, slams a bible in your hands and demands you to pray to god to forgive your sins and to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior.
What would /k/ do?

Try to do as he demands snd afterwards just let him give my girlfriend the law because I'm now his little Jehovah's witnesses bitch now.

It's an ugly handgun that has a good grip and is infallibly reliable.
