Is building an AR in 338 worth the money? Granted I complain about .45-70 being a dollar or more a round and .338 probably isn't much cheaper.

Build? Nobody sells parts.
Your image is the only company that makes .338 ar.
Unless you mean .338 federal over lapua.
You're not shooting .338 LM fast enough to warrant a semi-auto platform.

What's a decent 1911 that costs between $600-$800 that I can use for a bump in the night or for fun? I'm considering the pic related.
Also 1911 thread

I've got the basic Mil Spec 1911, fit and finish seems good, only the tiniest rattle from the dustcover when I shake it. The hammer is MIM, but that's pretty common. All I've feed it is Winchester White Box and never had a problem. I don't know about the mags it came with, I took /k/s advice and bought some Wilson Combat 8 rounders and never used the 7 rounders it came with. I might be putting some grip tape or something else on the front strap as the gun feels like it slides around when my hands get sweaty. as for bump in the night, I keep it on/in the night stand as well.

Okay, cool, thanks. I had the pleasure recently of holding it and gripping it the same model, and it felt great. My family may be getting an M9 soon (which they'll probably transfer to me), but I'll probably buy the SF Milspec myself and keep it as my personal.

/k/, you are creative. What is the worst possible terrain for prolonged combat?
The worst spot you can imagine. I recall hearing about two forces going at it in the Himalayas and both forces eating dick in the process due to the environment and weather.

Your "favorite" wars, as far as wars go obviously. Ones that are the most interesting or that call out to you.
For me the Boxer Rebellion is the most batshit crazy war there is.
>That one bit where Germans and Americans were holding off Boxers from an ancient Chinese castle Helm's Deep style
>They find an ancient Chinese canon and one of the guys good with explosives says the equivalent of, "Yeah I think I can get her working"
>Annihilate incoming Chinese horde with over loaded ancient Chinese canon filled with shrapnel that probably hadn't been fired in over hundreds of years

The International Gun? uhhh, no.
It was an old European rifled cannon from 1860 Anglo-French expedition. It then mounted on an Italian carriage, manned by Americans, and uses Russian ammunitions.
The relief force on the road from Tientsin to Beijing did found a large stash of imported modern German weapons though

The siege of Tyre
Tyre pisses off Alexander, you don't piss off Alexander. Alexander starts to build a fucking bridge across the water, the Tyrians use a suicide fire boat to ram it and burn down Alexander's giant siege towers. Unfazed by what would cripple a normal man's plans Alexander simply conquers enough cities to get enough ships to blockade Tyre.
Alexander's ram ships are blocked by stones in the water. He builds goddamn crane ships to move them. This is 300 BC, motherfucker has crane ships.
Ram ships get cozy by the walls, one breeches the wall. Alexander himself leads the attack.
2000 men are fucking crucified outside the city. Not to mention the normal sort of slaughter that took place. Alexander did not fuck around.

Yeah, I know it might be sbr, I'm asking how short it could be cut/where to measure from to ensure it ISN'T an sbr.
>shouldn't modify surplus
brah it's a low end nugget, there are plenty more where it came from.
What are the most unusual, bizarre, or surreal battles that have been fought?
Here's a good example:
>Lima Site 85, Laos, 1968
>The first and only shoot-down of a Biplane by a Helicopter
>CIA Spooks working for Air America are resupplying a secret US Radar base in Laos
>3 North Vietnamese AN-2 Biplanes attack the radar base with bombs and strafing runs
>Literally just gooks throwing mortar shells and bombs out of agricultural utility biplanes
>Spooks chase the AN-2s in their Air America Huey and engage the AN-2s with, of all things, an AK-47
>Rain bullets down on the AN-2s from above
>2 AN-2s shot down
You can't make this shit up. CIA guys flying a Huey painted to look like a front company civil helo shoot down North Vietnamese crop dusters attacking a secret base in Laos by throwing mortars at them by hand.
What other bizarre battles have happened through history that just make you go "Wait, what?"

>During the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950, mortar sections under the United States Marine Corps started to run out of mortar rounds. The radio men of these sections started requesting more rounds. There were too many nearby enemy anti-air emplacements however, and the risk that they might lose any airlifted supplies was too great, so they had to wait. After two days of waiting, all the mortar sections ran out of rounds. At this point they accidentally ordered hundreds of crates of Tootsie Roll candies instead of mortar rounds. This was because some elements of the United States military had used "tootsie rolls" as code for mortar rounds.
The military isn't well known for its logistical competence, but you'd think somebody would have given it a second thought before they airdropped pallets of candy to an encircled unit.

Hi /k/. I've been in an online chat for a while now and there's a woman claiming to have served in the United States Military. I think she is lying. This has been going on for a while now but I'm finally going to speak up. I've had enough of it. The latest thing she said is that she was shot in the head but the helmet stopped it.
What do I need to know/what are some questions I can ask to expose her, if it even is a girl?
Thanks.

Let us take a moment to remember the time a Finnish guy took about 30 Pervitin tablets and went on some kind of vision quest.
73 years ago today, a Finnish soldier became the first person in Finland to OD on methamphetamines. While trying to evade a Russian patrol, Aimo Koivunen
took the entire patrol's Pervitin ration. Apparently counting pills while wearing mittens and cross country skiing is hard.
After blacking out for a while, he regained of consciousness to discover he had lost all of his ammo and the rest of his patrol. During the days that followed, Koivunen successfully fled Russian partisan forces, was injured by a land mine, and lay for a week in a pit in the snow waiting for help to arrive. He skied for more than 400 kilometres in temperatures of -20 C. During two weeks the only food he had are pine buds and a Siberian jay (likely his spirit guide) that he caught and ate raw. My best theory is that he chased the bird down while flapping his arms and prophesying about the coming of the /k/ube.
When he is finally rescued and taken to a hospital his pulse rate is nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight has dropped to 43 kilos.
I can't believe that this guy's heart was still teaching like that weeks later.
