So I snapped this photo just outside RAF Lakenheath airforce base (Sulfork, uk) earlier today, can anyone identify what vehicle model this is and what the fuck armor the guy standing is wearing? It looked like the Scifi armor in Elysium. The guy sitting in the (turret?) was also wearing it

Looks like riot gear. They might have been doing training for civil unrest or something. It's not really uncommon, and as an armored vehicle crew they would certainly be getting training for that scenario.

The shoulder pads suggest the Lockmart TALOS or Revision designs from a distance, but I have a sneaking suspicion this is from the new Predator set.

Ok /k/, I'm not sure if this is the place for it but I'm asking anyway. I recently introduced my cousin to guns and took him shooting. He loved it to death, but his parents are extremely anti gun, so they won't buy him a gun since he's only 16, and I don't have the money to. He was looking at a pellet gun just to plink (pic related Daisy Powerline 880) but there's some confusion. On the box it says 16+, but we aren't sure if that means he can buy it. So basically, in Texas can you buy a pellet gun at 16?

Google exists bud, but yea
>>
>>33996628
Im pretty sure the age on the box is for the "suggested user", not necessarily who can legally purchase it. He can probably buy it, worse case scenario they tell him no and he buys it online. In any case even if he couldnt buy it, why not buy it for him?
>>
The state of texas has no problem with him buying or owning one, but some retailers (walmart for sure) may have a problem if he tries to buy it himself.

/nogun/ here, why do the vast majority of shotguns require manual input to chamber the shells after each shot and why there are so few (compared to automatic rifles) fully automatic/magazine fed shotguns?

is it because they are useless compared to rifles in a combat situation so they get less attention from gun companies r&d that want army contracts or because the recoil would make automatic fire pointless? even if that's the case, why are most shotguns designed to need the pump action after each shot?

I'm not the best person to answer this, but to make a shotgun fully automatic, requires it to be quite heavy. Add to that the fact that you're going to be putting a drum on it and that thing is extremely heavy.

When you think about it, there's probably not a huge benefit in one of those vs a short barreled carbine in something like a 6.8 spc.

As for other non-semi auto configurations for shotguns it has to do with their use and price. Pumps are cheap to make, and good for poor conditions where it could get wet or have mud it in or something, like water fowl hunting.

Over/unders are like single shots in the sense of lowering the amount of moving parts and ensuring accuracy, so competitive trap shooters love them.
>>
Not a whole lot of motivation to improve the boomstick. It's not a prime war fighting weapon so military is content with having some pumps/semis for limited roles. Poorfags gravitate towards shottys - if it ain't broke don't fix it.
>>
>>33996464
Auto shotguns are a meme for anything other than suppressing fire.
Why the fuck do you need to spray that much lead? To keep the fucks from even trying to shoot back.
Other than that they have mag fed Semi automatic shotguns, pump actions and breaks being the more common, since they're used more for hunting than fighting.
That being said, no one is arguing that shotguns can't fucking hold their own in combat, just that they're more used in hunting.

But yeah, combat scenarios don't play well to a shotguns strengths, you don't really need to put a lot of R&D into it. Make a rifle that takes shot gun shells, done. Cue the Saiga.
>The saiga is literally a rifle made for 12 gauge shells.

So what does it do? I've noticed that the tension on recoil springs is decreased when oiling them.
Seems like that could be dangerous or unreliable if it's a hammer spring.

This guy says over-cleaning is more damaging than not cleaning guns because modern powder and percussion caps are much less corrosive than they used to be.

Report it stolen. That usually increases the odds of getting it back.

This, your odds go from 0% to about 3%.

Also check local pawn shops. If you see your gat, inform the police asap.

Didn't US forces use Apache's against radar and AA sites in the opening of Desert Storm?
I believe that with carefull planning theyre feasable but I wouln't want to be hovering around in high altitude (for heli's) like they have been doing in the recent low intencity conflicts
>>
If you're a shitter, sure. Skilled pilots will fly NOE to avoid non-radar guidance systems, while chaff can be used for radar guided shit. Its a bit like people assuming tanks are obsolete because if you sit out in the open you'll get fucked by a Kornet, which misses the nuance that western tank crews are taught not to expose themselves and to move evasively, something apparently beyond Saudi and Turkish tank crews.
