To keep this /k/ related, greentext a story of a memorable event that happened to you involving /k/ related things, be it good or bad.
In the meantime I am making this thread to ask a completely unrelated question because this is my home board and I care more about your opinions than any other board.
What do you guys do for hobbies besides weapons stuff? I'm 27 and absolutely struggling to find something I am good at or can even feasibly do. Everything I want to try my hand at has a prohibitively expensive up front cost.
How did you get into your other hobbies? I want to get into foundry stuff, making knives, making lasers, woodwork, just making things in general, but I live in an apartment and dont have the workspace or the money required to start doing most of these things.
By the time I can actually afford a house I'll be in my thirties and I guess I'm just stressing out because I'm getting older and haven't really been able to enjoy doing the things I like.
I will greentext a story to get things going

>"cooler" older friend (hes 18, im 16) decides to invite me to go shooting with these two chicks he knows from college

>the shooting calms down and we're standing around talking
>ditzy chick walks over to the car and grabs 12gauge mossman
>shes standing across from me and my friend, who are leaning against his car
>she's holding the mossman with one hand leaning it against her shoulder pointing it at the sky trying to look cool or something
>she loses her balance and the shotgun starts to tilt forwards towards us
>the shotgun is now falling faster towards us
>she panics and her reaction is to pull back on the handle towards her, to regain control of the gun
>gun is now parallel with the ground
>during her panic (mind you this all happened in less than 2 seconds) she manages to pull the trigger
>birdshot fires straight between my friend and i, straight through the windshield of his car missing us by inches
>we start screaming at her and she just goes really quiet
>thought I shit my pants
>never went shooting with her again.

Bump. I'm in the same situation as you OP. I really need some hobbies that will help me meet people.
>>33585044
Yeah my man. Life is suffering.
Most of the people I do know don't shoot or aren't into guns like I am. So I always go to the range alone, and no one at the ranges are friendly. I'm not awkward or strange or anything but people at the range just generally keep to themselves, at least around here.
I am the only person I know that rides motorcycles (another passion of mine), so I forever ride alone.
Only person I really have to talk to about things that interest me is my fiancee, and she only listens to humor me because I have no one else to talk to, shes otherwise completely uninterested in this kind of stuff haha.
So what happened to that anon who went to Rhodesia?
>>33584963
And by that I mean he went to south africa to talk to rhodesian vets among other things.

You realize you're not supposed to camp in National Parks without authorization? Why didn't you get it, the penalty is a felony.
>>33584965
I wasnt camping, just day hiking.
>>33584960
Hell yeah, fuck the man.
Sup, k
Post your rifles and configuration, and why.
I need a bayonet. Suggestions?

Dildo it best option. You will need to pleasure the other faggot AR owners.
How does one actually become a Mercenary?
Are there actual companies you can join?
Do you just fly to a country full of brown people and solicit patrons on your own?
french legion, or narco.
also, you be the cannon fodder of the cannon fodder.
>>33583878
It's a community of personal connections I would think.
>Are there actual companies you can join?
Yes, Private Military Contractors. You seek them out and apply the same way you do any other job. These days you generally need 8 years of military experience, preferably in Special Forces and combat experience to have even a hope of getting employed in that field.

i drifted to hard and did a donut
In for absolutely not a felon.
is this an Ok gun safe for the price?
From what I read on /k/, anything less secure than a fucking Vault-Tec Vault is just going to get blowtorched into and looted. But I guess it's alright.
>>33583655
>For the price
At the low end price range you're basically buying a "pls donut steel" sign, but that's definitely the cheapest donut steel sign you can buy that people will call a "safe"

so its almost not even worth it?

>4.5mm
I refuse to defend it; however, my bulgy mak is one of my most accurate handguns.
What is /k/s opinion on the 7mm Remington Magnum cartridge?
Sufficient for long range shooting?
Overkill?
Too damn expensive?
Better than .300WM?
>>33582801
just get a .308 it's cheaper and more widely available
>>33582835
But for precision shooting, not for going full dakka with a FAL or G3 or AR10
> .280 175gr @ 2900 vs .300 200gr @ 3000 fps
Nothing you hit could tell the difference.
I don't know where else to go. Nowhere else on the internet has a solution. Maybe you can help me, /k/. How do you remove the front barrel band from a Yugoslavian M24/47 Mauser? I've tried absolutely every single solution that I could possibly find. I've used boiling water. I've used a heat gun. I've used a screwdriver. I've used a mallet. I've covered the thing in Remoil. There's just no budging this thing, and when I say no budging, I mean NO BUDGING IT. What do I do, /k/? Before anyone asks, yes, I am depressing down the spring all the way.

Question for milfags who have been through this or know anyone who has been through this.
A year ago I had a SLAP tear which was repaired (yadda yadda, everything is 100% now, I know I need paper work). I also had a kidney stone at the time which was zapped out of me.
I'm either told A. Do not say anything or B. Tell them about the slap tear but don't say anything about the kidney stone.
I'm looking into joining either the Army, Navy, or AF (26 yrs old, I've tested myself for PT and ACE all 3 branches requirements for people 18). Anybody know the chances of a slap tear getting cleared? Any advice on what the fuck I should say? I get so many mixed answers and feel like I should honestly just spill the beans about the slap tear but keep my mouth shut about the kidney stone.
Always lie kid.

Really? I'm told so much shit, if I get an XRAY in the future of my upper body for some reason, they'll see the plastic attachments in my shoulder. What if I decide the make this a career? It could absolutely fuck me.
Fact is, I do not want to be sent packing up shit creek with a dishonorable discharge on my record.
only if you're desperate
but there's a 99% chance your shoulder will be fucked up for life if you continue
