As someone who came up in a household with a long tradition of military service what I was was always told was "You ain't gotta like a but better respect him if he is willing put his ass on the line for his country" Makes sense but I guess I understand how some people feel that is overdone.

>>33321351
But if people feel that way why not serve themselves? I also feel like civilians don't realize the staggering amount of shitbags we have in the military as well as the noble patriotic types

So these 2 are vying to be Russia's small MRAP. The left is Typhoon-VDV which carries 30mm and has an unmanned version and is heavier while the left is Tigr and has a version that carries 8 Kornets with automatic reloading for 16 more inside. The Tigr also has other versions like a command post that only carries 4 Kornets but has a radar, also has a version with a 12.7mm autocannon and a version with a radar. It is air droppable and has an unmanned version. But it is lighter, which is susceptible to IED, and is less balanced than the Typhoon.
Which would you pick?

Seems like every time I read something regarding a rekindled Korean war, it's mentioned that Seoul is within range of nork artillery. Is there an effective way (besides preemptively bombing the fuck out of the north) to neutralize that threat?

>Is there an effective way (besides preemptively bombing the fuck out of the north) to neutralize that threat?
No, but the sorks have long factored that into their strategic situation and run drills to public bomb shelters in case of such an event while the military mobilizes to curbstomp the Norks

Is there any reason why ammunition used for naval guns is never used for land-based artillery? Why doesn't the army have a cannon which can use 5-inch (127 mm) ammunition?

They'd have to share the ammunition then so they'd each have half as much.

>WASHINGTON — The Obama administration’s Pacific rebalance effort — also known as the Pivot to the Pacific — effort is officially dead, according to a top State Department official.
>Asked by reporters about the future of the rebalance, Acting Assistant Secretary of State Susan Thornton said Monday that the new administration has its own plan for the region, even if that plan has yet to take shape.
>“Pivot, rebalance, etcetera — that was a word that was used to describe the Asia policy in the last administration. I think you can probably expect that this administration will have its own formulation. We haven’t really seen in detail, kind of, what that formulation will be or if there even will be a formulation,” she said

I think you mean AR kits.
I've never known an avid .22 fan to behave like that. Typically they tend to be the geeks of the gun community so to speak.
Gear-queer tactifags are by far the biggest shit talk offenders.

.223 is .22 caliber

>>33320570
Do you have any examples? I've never met anyone who took .22 seriously. Only for fucking about and occasionally target shooting.

I can understand why the military would use intermediate cartridges so they can carry more ammo for the same weight, but why do civilians also buy guns chambered for rounds which, BY DESIGN, are a compromise? If you want cheap ammo for plinking, you may as well just stick to a 22 LR. If you want a serious gun for serious shooting, get a full-sized rifle.

got a 10/22 receiver for $40. and thats the extent of deals on GB

>>33319616
Get deals all the time. Just gotta know how to look.
Once got a $300 pistol slide for $25 because the seller had it listed with a poor title instead of a proper one.
>>
I've never gotten a good deal. Everything worth buying sells for close to MSRP unless the seller is retarded enough to do something like>>33319949 while also magically not being retarded enough to put a reserve price on the item (that's typically 1.5x MSRP or more).

I want a bolt-action rifle built in the 1890s, with ammo that costs 1.30$ a round.
I don't even know why I want it, but by god am I going to try and get one.
If you want to get a musket, go for it.
