Mostly. But he's my fuddy dad.
Yeah.
My dad is a heroin addict
Was this thing useful at all? Was it good in any domain or did it excel at some specific purpose? Was it entirely a meme? Could a better modern one be made?
What was made with the vacuum of Space in mind.
it's a hilarious meme but it made slugs go fast with very limited recoil so it did in fact work
>Was this thing useful at all?
Not really. More a proof of concept than anything else
>Was it good in any domain or did it excel at some specific purpose?
No. I mean, at top speed it was comparable to a modern 10mm auto (though with less force because by that point the projectile, while larger than a 10mm, was largely hollow) but because for the first ~30 ft of travel the projectile would travel at BB gun speeds, meaning the end accuracy of the round on target was wildly variable. Something like 15 MOA IIRC.
>Was it entirely a meme?
At the time, totally.
>Could a better modern one be made?
Probably not as a normal pistol, but I think it could have merit if the projectile had a payload. The whole design is basically a mini-RPG, so having a ten round pocket rocket launcher that fires EFP tipped rockets could have use for CP teams or stopping light armored vehicles at roadblocks.
So lets talk SB1657. Who is still going to buy rock river arms and springfield armory guns?
I still unironically want an M1A. Maybe I'll get one secondhand
I also would like to have an m1a. While digging around I found out that Springfield is just an import company and that they do not produce anything themselves. They simply bring in firearms double the price they paid and send them out. I am very much on the fence about supporting them after this debacle. Further more what will happen to their gun prices if we quit buying them??
Why not just create a pot metal mockup?
It has to be a hell of a lot cheaper then 5 million dollars.
why even fly actual planes?
hell, most car commercials don't even use actual cars anymore. they are CGI skins thrown over a purpose built stunt/reference vehicle.

Hey /k/,
I recently moved to a state that, I just found out, has restrictions on magazine capacity.
Anyways, I stopped by a local gun shop and picked up a glock 17 mag (17 rounds) and a standard m4 mag (30 rounds). While checking out, the dude behind the counter said "hey, you saw me disassemble these, right? (wink)".
Unsure what the fuck he was talking about I just kind of mumbled and left. When I got home, I looked up the laws on magazine sizes (didnt think there was a problem before), and sure enough I just bought 2 magazines that are illegal to buy own or sell in this state.
Is this a sting operation that just fugged me, or is this gun shop just blatantly breaking the law and selling "disassembled" magazines (they werent fucking disassembled btw).
Capacity limit is 15 rounds here.
>>33931616
Why would you move there?
If it's Colorado, nobody cares.
Also, gj posting your crime on a public website.
>>33931616
Are you in a place called Denver Colorado?
Can we get an LEO general going? any current or aspiring cops want to pitch in?

I'm graduating from a top 30 American University with a finance degree and have a wall-street job lined up after working the last two summers
I've always been interested in PMC's, where the Black Budget ends up and people like Eric Prince, Viktor Bout, Craig Nixon, Ignacio Balderas, etc.
I have no military background, but I figure a few years working in M&A would lend itself to working with these enormous corporations.
Has anyone here worked as a contractor for one of these big private defense companies? Ever deal with the men behind the curtain?
Is it even worth getting into this industry? Has regulation killed all the fun? Are these just big ex-mil circlejerks?
If none of the above applies, post contractor pics to keep this from being a total waste of a thread

If you haven't served you are at best going to be put at the back of the line, or not considered at all.
FUCK MY LCS/FRIGATE UP
http://breakingdefense.com/2017/05/beyond-lcs-navy-looks-to-foreign-frigates-national-security-cutter/
>WASHINGTON: The Navy is seriously considering derivatives of foreign designs and the Coast Guard’s National Security Cutter for its new frigate, after three years pursuing an upgraded version of its current Littoral Combat Ship. The shift has shaken up the industry, panicking some players, while others quietly reposition:
>No final decision has been made, but five knowledgeable sources from different backgrounds– Capitol Hill, the executive branch, industry, and academia — and with no evident connections to each other, all independently (and all anonymously except for Clark) told me that the Navy is seriously considering alternatives to an upgraded LCS. The service isn’t just doing due diligence or paying lip service with every intention of choosing the LCS frigate in the end. In 2020, when the Navy intends to award the frigate contract, it could well end up buying an up-gunned Coast Guard cutter or a foreign design — assuming Congress and a protectionist president permit.
THE NAVY SO FUCKED UP THE NEW FRIGATE PROGRAM THEY'RE SERIOUSLY LOOKING AT FOREIGN COMPETITORS.
FUCK THESE TUBS, LMAO.
>>33931012
Could be what it needs to be honest. Give the shipbuilders here a shock to the system that they can't fuck the navy over on prices so much any more.
>>33931012
Good. The last few ship designs have been absolute ass. Procurement of said ships has been even worse.

Alright /K/omrades what is the best knife for utility purposes and combat? and why is it the glock knife
>>33930831
On a serious note this is probably the best value for your buck knife out there, if you can find them for $20.00
>>33930831
the famas bayonet
>shove up girl pussy
>fuck bitch
>>33930831
It's one or the other OP, can't say what the best utility knife is but for combat, cannot go wrong with a Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife.
would a gun that can transform into a dagger be viable in todays modern battle field??
>>33930772
i think a sword with a talking bunny head is more practical
>>33930772
>A gun that can transform into a dagger
How about this? You take a dagger, put it on a rifle and now you have a spear.
That's called having a bayonet, stupid.
>>33930772
>what is a bayonet
also glock makes handgats that double as frags so why not
What would it be like if our modern Armies followed rules similiar to ancient knights and mercs of the old days?
Im not talking about code of honor bs, i mean straight up pushing the enemies shit in at all costs

Middle east would have a population of zero and north korea would be unified with the south. But a lot more dead muricans
>>33930727
Public morale already can crippled a country's war efforts, so I'd say it would be terrible.
>>33930727
It would be war crimes out the ass.
Either soldiers just executing whole villages or command authorizing mass destruction via nuke/WP/ChemBio.
