Can these idiots just fucking die already? The idea that the average soldier will be able to easily take out a hadji that's firing on them from 800+ yards with a PKM if you just issue them a larger caliber is fucking retarded.
>what are modern optics
>what are designated marksmen
>what is body armor
There's probably a place for them as squad level weapons like the SAW. 5.56 isn't going anywhere.
for what buttfucking purpose?
Might as well issue them FALs with ACOGs at this point

If the Chinese can do this easily, how come the Russkies can't? I mean i'm starting to suspect that we've reached a point where China has overtaken Russia in technological knowhow and has become the next best player in military tech. Between this and the J-31, have we entered the era in which the names Shenyang and Chengdu command more respect than Sukhoi and MiG?
(whether or not the Chinese stole any IP from us, you have to admit that this is still an impressive show of indigenous ability. Sure, it's not battle tested yet but from all the expert assessments it appears that China now has the edge over Russia and will no longer need to purchase Russian equipment)
And while we're at it, how come some major European nations are opting for F35 purchases instead of developing their own next-gen contender? I've heard some noise about Sweden developing a comparable product soon, but it seems to be just noise and little else.
China has like 10 times the industrial output of Russia and maybe 2 times the industrial output of USA now dude.
>>33565038
China spends 215 billion $ on army. Russia 66.
>>33565058
>industrial output
This doesn't count for much in this discussion because a large amount of that is in cheap goods.
We're talking about high-tech design and manufacturing, and what China's recent advancements in this sector mean for Russia's defense industry dependence on Chinese purchases.
My research paper topic. Pic related. Discuss.
“Would gun control legislation reduce the frequency and the number of mass murders in the United States?”

>>33564718
No look up asian countries gun laws then the death ratio of knife attacks. If anything "less gun control" scares criminals away from muggings robbing or random thuggery becuase they know they might get shot. use google and go away

>>33564718
Of course it would, after a long while when all guns in circulation have either been confiscated or destroyed. Similarly, of course banning all cars would result in less traffic deaths. The question is whether the loss of liberty is worth it, and the answer is it never is.
Did we get any more pics?

You're being racist.
It's called "Euro Truck Simulator"
Best do-all, zero-maintenance, throw-behind-the-seat-and-forget, glad-its-there-when-you-need-it, worry-free gun.
Requirements:
1. Must be a longarm.
2. Must be able to kill things up to 200lbs between 0 and 150 yards.
3. Must have no fucks to give if it's lost/stolen/forgotten.
4. Must require minimal to no maintenance.
Right now, I think it's the SKS. I picked one up for a song last year, a Chinese model with tech sights, no bayonet, no cleaning kit or rod, but also no rust, a great bore and crown and just beat up enough that I don't really care if it gets beat up more.
I figure that, well-oiled and put in a gun sock with a few silica gel packs, and three or four stripper clips, and it will meet all criteria and I don't have to think about it for a year or so.
What's your thoughts /k/?
>>33564232
Side-folding AK-74
>What's your thoughts /k/?
I miss St.Augustine grass.
This is my truck gun. Fits all the criteria, except
>give no fucks if it's lost/stolen/forgotten
This is just fucking stupid. Lock it in your truck, when you're don't for the night, take it out.
>contributing to liberal outcry for ban mug guns
>who the fuck forgets about a gun they have in their truck?
Seriously bough, just throw whatever is compact in your truck. Boom, truck gun.
If Britain had launched 59 Tomahawk missiles at Syria, and over half of them failed to hit the target with the rest causing minimal damage (after they warned the Russians in advance), what would /k/ look like right now?
>>33564124
AHAHAHAHH EUROC U C K S
DONT FORGET TO PAY BILLIONS TO ISRAEL
oh wait
It'll be nice when the Russbois get over their butthurt that their vaunted air defense network was utterly penetrated like OP's mom on a Saturday night.

Are you suggesting what the posts on /k/ would be like in the above situation, or are you responding to this thread in particular?
What does /k/ think about heckler and koch?
>>33563907
they need to be cheaper so POC can afford them
if they remain expensive then you can assume it is a racist company and you should boicott them
I like their products in counter strike
>>33563907
I bought this yesterday.
I spent all last night shopping around for the parts to turn it into a proper mp5k-n, seems just to get the parts will cost as much as I paid for the gun, not including labor for a smith or an insabely expensive sear pack
How do you survive the 18-32 months of fallout? That's at least 3 crop cycles fucked right? Food, gear, weapons, locations with best chance of survival. How deep underground do you go? Is sailing on an ocean viable? Staying ahead of the radiation and fishing around islands.
>>33563689
>18 months of fallout
What, are the nukes exchanged for 15 months straight or something?
>>33563689
>How do you survive the 18-32 months of fallout?
Thats not how fallout works.
Fallout decays along the 7:10 rule. For every 7-fold increase in time after detonation, there is a 10-fold decrease in the exposure rate. In other words, when the amount of time is multiplied by 7, the exposure rate is divided by 10. For example, let's say that 2 hours after detonation the exposure rate is 400 R/hr. After 14 hours, the exposure rate will be 1/10 as much, or 40 R/hr.
Radiation damage is a function of time and intensity. An intense area may give you a lethal dose in 10 minutes. But in a few months you could move through the area for hours with no ill effects.
Further away from ground zero, after a few weeks, you will be able to live in a fallout zone for decades, with only in increased risk of cancer decades later. Even though this increased cancer risk is associated with a level several hundred times or even thousand times what was considered 'safe' before the war.
>That's at least 3 crop cycles fucked right?
No.
>Food, gear, weapons, locations with best chance of survival.
Thats a complicated question.
>How deep underground do you go?
You don't have to go underground unless you are near a surface burst.
>Is sailing on an ocean viable?
Sure.
>Staying ahead of the radiation and fishing around islands.
Radiation doesnt really work like that.
With food this is very hard...
you need to have every type of food sugar,beans,wheat,rice,powder milk,some meat in can,fruits and vegetables dried ofc. If its possible buy MRE its really good idea.
Water is a big problem even if u have supplies its still better to get your self a purification tablets. Also you need prepare your supplies like 3 liters/day for one person.
Communication like radio and phone are must to have i guess.
Your shelter is a biggest problem cause it should not be a big place or very small for you.
Material should be steel, concrete and wood
steel about 30cm, concrete about 70-75 and wood around 1m not separated all together. Plus of course good amount of soil around you... will be good if u are at least 5-6m underground. Be sure you have good amount of medical supplies cause you will need them.
With all of that you cant just go into shelter and wait there without nothing your psychic will start play with you soon.... get your self some books or ebook movies something that will keep you in good condition. Also you need to train your body physically if u have good amount of supply. When fallout will end and you will get on top it will be about pure survival so be sure you have weapon and ammo for you.

HMG is starting production on its silly plastic mag StG.
at least it isn't strictly in .22
Why single out the mag when ar fags shit on anything not plastic?
>>33563139
>silly
>plastic mag
Get fucked you retarded fucking faggot. You clearly don't have the capacity to appreciate what HMG is doing.
So, what is the outlook now? The MSM is baying for blood and talking about more action, Russia has taken down the airspace agreement and Assad is threatening to lob Scuds into Israel if there are more airstrikes.
Btw, why didn't the legendary S-3/400s shoot the cruise missiles down?

I thought they just shot up the Airfield, were they going after Air Defense too?
>>33562897
i've never really seen 60 tomahawks hitting the earth in one location but i imagine if i were there on the end that i didn't want to be seeing it then i would get the fuck as far away from that place as humanly possible
Didn't the Russians have air defense asset in syria?
Why didn't they take out the cruise missiles?
I thought the russians had the best ADNs in the world?
They were even warned before hand of the attack.
>>33562566
This goy wants a shitstorm to fall upon the world. Russia had nothing to do with the chem attack and if they confront with US military alot of bad shit will happen, and russia doesnt want to endanger stability for a war torn shithole of a country. Russian s300 and s400 in syria are only for the show and testing. If lets say rebels or isis attain scud missiles it would be a great opportunity to test these systems in action, and they are mainly to protect damascus key points.
>>33562566
>Didn't the Russians have air defense asset in syria?
>Posts Syrian Air Defence, likely mostly non-operational
It is exactly because they were made aware of the attack in advance that amerishit petards got to hit anything.
>>33562603
>Russian s300 and s400 in syria are only for the show and testing
They are there to cover Russian airfields, Russian bases and Russian Air Force.
Hey /k/
Since /b/ is a fucking failure and can't answer a simple question like the good old days I am asking it here and hope that this post won't get deleted.
Do you guys know any good .onion site to buy guns from shipping to europe?
Also what would be the average price of a .45 with one or two mags on the internet? Same question for a 9mm.
>>33562539
Just make one bro
>>33562539
isis pls go
>>33562547
How hard would it be to make one for someone who barrely knows how to use a hammer? I am guessing pretty hard but still asking. Also I would still have to buy the ammo
>'Strayan AW50 edition
Haven't got the OP, so discuss all things precision shooting related.
Anyone here own the Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 SFP scope? Looks very useful at full zoom and half zoom with the MRAD's. Only $1045 here too (Australia). FFP version is $300 more which isn't do-able for me.
This generalfaggotry needs to stop.
>>33562198
how much match ammo do you guys keep around? I'm thinking 300?
>>33562415
Yeah I had about that, but used quite a bit. But that's ok because I'm thinking of getting a new rifle anyway

Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 for a first shotgun purchase, /k/?
>>33559573
Old production 870 or any 500 which ever one looks cooler to you.
>>33559573
Remington only if it's pre 2007 otherwise mossberg 590 or ithaca if you're a hipster
Remington is heavier, better for absorbing recoil of full-brass ammo. Also slightly classier looking but shitty QC and will rust.
Mossberg is lighter, cheaper and slightly more tacticool looking. Though it can also be classed-up.
Either is fine, fondle both and decide which you prefer.
