On a C-130 in a combat zone?
So i posted here last night about the HK p2000v3 LE sights being too far to the right, i had my CCW qual here in CA today and my sig was dead on whereas my shots from my 2k were too far to the left. So either A i havent put enough hate down range to get adjusted or B the factory zero was shit.
heres my p2k qual
and heres my sigs
any insight?
This is the story of two turbo autists and their fixation with a shitty plane that never fired a shot in anger almost destroyed the Navy and Marines, and fistfucked the Army a good one too. Its long but well worth the read.
>be post WW2
>Navy working on the America class carriers, not quite a super carrier but very close
>in comes president truman and his secdef Jhonson
>"lol we dont need a navy, we got nukes"
>Cancels the america class carrier program
>declares that we will completeley replace the Navy with the B-36
>B36 was a colossaly retarded plane, slow as shit with piston driven engines that spontaneously combust
>it would have been a WW2 bombers wet dream, in an era when jet interceptors existed it was a flying paperweight that could only do 1 thing, carry a nuke to russia without refueling (but not come back since it couldnt outfly the blast, nor did it have enough fuel for a return trip)
>naval admirals lose thier shit
>a ton resign, one writes a newspaper article titled "Dont scuttle the navy!" Pretty much every single US admiral flip shit at truman and jhonson
>jhonson decides to remedy this by apointing a major campaign contributor with zero military expierience to secretary of the navy
>the only quote the man is known for is "the closest ive been to the Navy is in a lake on a row-boat"
>hes given the mission of beginning a witchunt to courtmartial and decomission the insubordinate admirals
>admirals go to congress
>congress flip their shit too
>president doesnt care, navy gets fistfucked, best and brightest fired, huge number of ships mothballed or decomissioned
>president truman and secdef jhonson pat themselves on the back, begin preparing to reduce navy to "a few cargo haulers and some escorts"
>Marines will be rolled into the army
>Army has massive budget cuts too
>essentially entire military gets cored out, truman and jhonson package it as a major win for budgeting to the public
>they use the cuts to buy 1,000 B-36's
>>33788670
>korean war breaks out
>well, simple enough, send in a full naval blockade and rev up the Marine Corps for an amphibious landing
>Turns out we barely HAVE a navy or Marine Corps anymore, the presidents orders actually CANT be carried out
>well.... send in the Army
>army was poorly equipped, under-trained, and lack air support or supply lines (not enough ships, no airbases)
>oh well.... good thing we paid 4 billion in 50's money for 1,000 B36's
>B36 bombers cant be used because the Migs will rip them apart effortlessly
>Truman throws jhonson under the bus and fires him
>Navy has to un-mothball a bunch of ships, Marines have to hastily draft guys
>majority of the campaign is supported by Naval firepower, logistics, and Carrier based aircraft
>The B36 went on to continue being fucking useless and never see any combat until it was replaced only 10 years after building 1,000 of them
So basically, it turns out you CANT replace the other 3 branches of the military by buying the airforce a bunch of bombers.
Truman was a turbo-autist who believed that carriers were an obsolete form of force projection and that due to nukes the majority of combat would be conducted by aircraft.
Today the Carriers and Submarines in the Navy are the foremost force projection assets available to the USA, and as obama has proven with his airstrikes, you still cant win a war by replacing infantry with bombers. Also, truman was a really, REALLY shitty president and the people he appointed to office were spectacularly shitty.

>mfw this was literally NATO strategy through the 50s

>this gadget will make armies obsolete!
It took a century for that meme to die, now its coming back.
>why would you need a military when you got DRONES!!!
Would /k/ rather suffer through aggravated assault (getting the shit kicked out of you), or a murder trial?
What's the difference, you statist bastard?
>>33788571
>implying I'll hang around after the murder.
>aggravated assault may cause serious injury like internal bleeding
>choosing between life and possible death

These guns are legendary for their utter reliability in any conditions and their ability to take abuse that would destroy most other rifles. Ask any Special Forces soldier in any army what is the best assault rifle on the planet and the answer will be the Kalashnikov, 9 times out of 10. NASA have even gone on record to say that if they had to send an astronaut to an alien planet and did not know what to expect, they would give him a Kalashnikov.
Great b8 lol.
Have you even seen how it operates in mud? It's hot fucking garbage.
Sure it's reliable, but it's reliability is completely and utterly over hyped.

i've seen a video of someone propelling himself in a small boat by firing a shotgun, the same should work on a surfboard.
Are I/O AKMs still bad or have they actually fixed their product? I got one for 460 bucks. Ive read all the memes but all the reviews of the newest ones are all really positive
>>33787859
The memes are just memes, and they're top notch rifles.
>>33788008
i dont expect top notch but did they at least fix the glaring issues?
>>33787859
they are pretty awful.
Is the cuck living off welfare right about the fact literally ANYONE can just waltz into a store and buy an assault rifle of their choosing in most of America?

Why does /k/ hate lasers?
>>33787812
we can't afford them
They give away your position for an aiming gimmick that you would only use at ranges you can use instinct.
They're even worse than weapon lights in terms of giving away your position. They're not usefully precise outside a very short range of trajectory. For strictly CQB they're pointless, as if you're at indoor distances anyway why the hell do you need a laser to aim with? They're toys. The exception is infrared illumination lasers combined with NV gear. In that application they're great.
>Lil' Kim attempts to nuke somebody
>Defeat Norks in conventional war
>Force them to sign unconditional surrender on the deck of the USS Pueblo, a la the surrender of Japan.
The very thought of this makes me erect.
>>33787807
its not about their nukes, its about their gold mine. Its about rhodium and other rich natural resources they have. Trillions of dollars of natural resources are there.

I'm moving so I can't ship anything
I've had a banner up on my site since before they were available so people would know
>it has now been 3 months since I started this batch of patches
>still fighting to get the last one confirmed
>get an email yesterday from one of their reps responding to an email I wrote weeks ago about persistent quality fuck-ups
>he says he's contacted the production team and if they can't fix their machine quality they'll see about switching it to woven
>in those 3 weeks, my assigned rep has been working with me and we've finally fought most of the way there
>haven't received a new sample at all this week
I seriously hope the email that guy sent didn't fuck up three weeks of progress.
