Combat experience? Fanatic loyalty? The 88mm gun? Rommel? A judenfrei commanf chain?

Probably combat experience but I question that percentage and would like a source.

I can't figure out why someone would do this, but I think I came out on top?

I was at a gun show trying to sell my Romanian AK47 SAR-1 (no threaded barrel). It wasn't in bad condition but it was in great condition either.

A dealer traded me a used Sig P938 with 3 magazines (2 extended, 1 regular) and 2 holsters (1 IWB and 1 OWB). Pretty sure all this is like an $800 value.

Which is more than the AK was worth.

what country has the worst uniforms?
52 posts and 21 images submitted.
>>
I despise those IDF Chef Boyardee hats
>>
Maybe not the worst, but China has some retarded camouflage patterns. Some are questionable, like the all brown Tibetan camo, but then you have full retard stuff, like paratroopers having blue camo with white clouds on it, or firefighters having flame orange camo. Marines have that famous blue camo, which is actually based on the paint used inside ships, so if they brush against wet paint it gets hidden by the pattern, and it's bright enough that you can still easily see them if they fall overboard, unlike the US Navy uniform. All that is nice, but it kind of looses it's purpose when they apply it to armored vehicles and shit.

What do I look for in a one handed combat axe?
It seems like memes. Throw a spike on the rear and it's a "combat axe". It just reminds me of the entire sword debacle. Japos fold their steel, westerners try to imitate woots with wire twisted/folded "damascus" so you're either a weaboo or a wehraboo, both are axistards. I really don't understand the role of the axe. Cavemen would put a rock on a stick and call it an axe, don't hear much about it in bronze or copper, then iron and steel a longer point apparently makes it more deadly for stabbing no matter if it's a spear poleaxe or sword.

Here's the thing with the century c308:
Everyone who want a PTR knows about it. They also know that for $200~300 more, they can get a much better track record and QC than century. Either pay $500 for luck of the draw
or save 300 more and get something that is a ton more consistent.
In other words, What is $300 to you?

Same reason why it's Russian cousin, the SU-25 hasn't. No matter how hard bleeding-edge futurists in both countries' governments & militaries have shilled for its retirement, both air forces have realized that they don't quite have anything close enough to replace it in that very particular ground attack role they both play, especially considering that the very situation that both planes excel could very conceivably arise in some future engagements.

Muh stopping power. Would he have survived a 9mm round though?

> With one camera attached to a ladder and the other propped on the back of a car, the couple staged their stunt, according to authorities. Ruiz held the book to his chest and Perez held the gun, a gold Desert Eagle .50-caliber pistol considered “one of the most powerful semiautomatic handguns in the world.”

> From a foot away, court documents say, Perez fired.

> This time, the bullet didn’t stop in the book but instead pierced Ruiz in the chest. Medics tried to revive him, authorities said, but he was declared dead at the house.

Would propeller airplanes still make a difference in today's battlefield?
Lets say you command a desperate yet willing army of a shithole that has some ancient migs and gazelles in working order but a lot of propeller fighter planes.
You have decent motorized brigades with t72s, as well as 64s and 55s.
The infantry has the basic cheap package for them, ak's, rpgs, all bought at discount and doused with anti-rust chemicals and oiled.
Your enemy is foreign backed and you have a short window of time before the foreign backer comes to turn the tide.
Could a fleet of Yaks, or possibly Mustangs, Spitfires still be a deciding factor on the battlefield?
The jet powered planes could be bombers if you strap enough barrel bombs on it, or whatever you have.
Sure the prop powered planes would get shot easily but if you have enough of them, with pilots that passed a 10 day crash course of flying (as was in ww1 and 2) would it make a difference?
There are tons of ordinance to put on them and engineers to install them.

I dont know what it is going to be, but it's not going to be the M1s. They're going to go through the CMP, and not everyone can buy through them immediately.

I'm honestly not sure if there is going to be the next "cheap surplus"...
>>
None. The cheap milsurp era is over forever. It was inevitable that it would happen eventually, and it has. This isn't all bad though - with it no longer true that milsurp is a good way to get a cheap shooter, bubbas will stop hacking them up to shoot durr with. From now on, milsurp is for collectors with a minimum of $300-500 in their pockets to spend on an antique.

If you want a cheap shooter, buy an AR - they're way cheap these days and will stay that way for at least a year or two.

The CMP will have nothing to do with those Korean M1s.

Is there an American or international equivalent to the British guards? Most of what the British guards do is ceremonial, but they also work as regular infantry. I know the Dutch and most European monarchies have guards that work similarly.
