What does the French Foreign Legion actually do in 2017?

Like, what makes France decide to deploy the legion to a particular conflict as opposed to another unit?

Well, the Legion historically was France's go to expeditionary unit, and I would say they continue on that tradition today. If France's interests are threatened, the Legion will more than likely be one of the first units to be deployed and respond. In 2017, their role is similar to any other rapid reaction/expeditionary unit out there. Currently they are seeing in the many small scale African conflicts France has involved itself in

>Like, what makes France decide to deploy the legion to a particular conflict as opposed to another unit?

Nothing.

The idea that they're deployed separate to any other unit in the French military is a complete myth that seems to persist around this place.

Nothing. They get rotated along with any other unit part of the same rotation, according to which brigade is on alert.

Are there any gun stores online that offer a non-retired veteran discount? The only one I've found after about 45 minutes of looking was Primary Arms. Is it so rare because so many people are one-and-done and they don't want to offer it to that many people, but still say they offer "military discounts?" I'm aware, by the way, of the active duty aspect, but that's a given.

What is the best semi-auto .308 in terms of accuracy, effective range, and durability/reliability? Something that can be used as a DMR. So that in a SHTF situation where there's hostile gangs/militias, you'd be able to use this thing to take them off before they get close enough to kill you, but semi-auto so you can use it as your primary SHTF weapon so it will still be good if the bad guys get closer (in which case bolt action is probably a no-go). Something durable and reliable, but with much better range and accuracy than an AK. Preferably .308 because of how common it is but .308 isn't entirely mandatory.

And if semi-auto really isn't an option for DMR sort of use then I guess give bolt action suggestions too.

Durability and reliability = FAL
Everything else = AR10\SR25

Honestly though a good AR10\SR25 will be just as reliable. FALs have just been around for forever. A SCAR may be the best combo of both however.

well my ankle clicks, lost range of motion in one of my hips and my low back hurts

I wasn't even airborne. would always see former airborne guys with double knee braces at 30.

Depends on the job.

I've been a medic in the army for 8 years. Infantry will kill your knees, back, and feet. X 2 if you're airborne. There's always the possibility of any injuries during any kind of training that can end your career at any moment. Special forces / ranger are infantry times 50. Pick a chill job or your body will hurt. Im done with medic and I'm dropping a warrant packet to go pilot this month.

Let's say that tomorrow you wake up in the Rookie Village in The Zone. All you have is a few hundred rubles, some bread and sausage, a few first aid kits, some vodka, and a shitty Makarov with about 50 rounds.

How long could you actually survive, given your /k/ skills?

Howdy my dudes. I've owned Glocks and AR15s like a tacticool faggot but now I'm exploring my inner fudd.

I don't own a nice wooden rifle in anything bigger than 5.56, and I'm trying to get into hunting so I'm looking at the CZ 550fs since it's a bit different and unique compared to most rifles.

I won't be scoping it and it will be occasionally used for hunting.

Problem is that it comes in many different chamberings.

6.5 Swede
.308 Win (probably what I'm going with)
.270
30 (fud) six
9.3x62mm (thinking about this one but don't know how it performs long range)
.243 win

What would you guys get?

The only reason I'm second guessing the .308 is because it's a short cartridge but this rifle uses the long action for the .308 from what I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) so I'm considering a larger round, might as well.

>>34547516
Most people go wito .308 these days. .30 aught-fudd is good too. .243 isn't bad either but it doesn't really pack the same kind of punch as a .30 cal. woth go with either .308 or .30-06
>>
>>34547516
>9.3x62mm
That'd be cool as hell, but spendy to shoot.
>>
>>34547537

I guess you're right. But my autism doesn't let it go that the rifle is using a long action for a short action cartridge. Seems tge opposite of efficient

Availability. Maybe a decade from now 6.5 will be commonplace but right now it just isnt mainstream yet. But yeah give it time, it seems to be starting to get some traction.

Same as any other nonstandard caliber gun, if you can maintain stocks of 2000+ rounds and reload then go for it.

Ammo availability isn't really painful. The internet is wonderful like that. I am sort of disappointed that my options are an AR build or a 3 MOA, banned VEPR but what can you do, right?

I expected more resistance. Why are you guys being supportive of my special snowflakism?

75gr TAP
>>
If you want maximum trauma then a heavy OTM like 75gr TAP. Problem of course is gonna be variable performance.

Personally id go with a barrier blind expanding round. TBBC is widely considered the best and is what the FBI uses. Ranger and gold dot bonded rounds are next. TSX is pretty good but some of the rounds don't like AG too much(the heavier ones specifically). If you're a poorfag then you can pick up federal fusion on the cheap, almost the exact same round as the 62gr GD with almost the exact same performance.
>>
>>34547098
From what I have seen, TAP doesn't really have the impressive cavity like 77TMK or 50 TSX
