>Why did you let me rust, comrade?

Because I'm nowhere near you and the surplus dried up, M38 Mosin. I grew up and you didn't.

If you have the money get whichever. They are both pretty much the same

>>34353640
It depends
1. Do you have money left over for a quality optic?
2 money left over for plenty of ammo?

If yes to both. Get the SCAR if not, save easily 1.5k for a good quality AR build and spend the rest on ammo and optics.

>>34353640
I have one, I wouldnt recommend it for a first rifle, get an AR and practice before you go full autistic and buy a SCAR. I would rather wreck a honda civic than a BMW if I was learning to drive on my first car

Oh yeah, this screencap will be going in the sticky under the Nuke thing.

does that also apply to nupoc? if i'm the one riding people's asses that's fine.

>>34349087
I'm not sure, as I don't know any nuke officers and not a ton of people do it.

We generally get the:
>I got an 85 on the ASVAB and my recruiter said I'm qualified to be a Nuke which is super cool and I can get a $100k job after 6 years

Sorry, not even joking but reddit might be a better resource.

Well neither did the Russian intelligence ship, which has even more senors than a Navy destroyer.

>Did Russians hack it??
plz no Donald Cook story again
Talk about the most inefficient way to take destroyers out of action

don't sell the BAR.

it is a reproduction of a BAR or an original?

Because in America companies are no longer allowed to make and sell open-bolt semi-auto rifles. If it fires from an open bolt it is really something special.

If it's a closed-bolt reproduction it's still pretty cool and AR-15s are cheap enough to not need to sell the BAR at all.

>>34373993
Nice try ATF

You can't shoot my GFs puppers.

What makes a can launcher legal, the fact that it's a smoothbore?
What makes the projectiles themselves not DDs?

At what point between can launcher and 105mm tank gun does a smooth bore firing a non-explosive round become illegal for me to own?

A good FAL can be a damn accurate gun at a modest price, if you want to go a bit more expensive go for a decent scar, if you want another lego gun get an ar15, since it can be just about anything. As much as i like the m1a/m14, its outdated, and extremely expensive for what it is. So my personal recommendation is a good FAL or you build an ar10 yourself if you're concerned about price.

>>34373795
I had heard (again, havent done one myself) that there are issues with AR10's being non-standard and incompatible, so its not as easy as slapping together milspec uppers/lowers/triggers/bcg's, but you have to stick with one place or prebuilt?

If I go FAL is it worth getting a parts kit and building or is it better just to get one already made?

>>34373823
Ive not had a problem with incompatability with an ar10 i used to own nor my 2 other family members who owned one, but if that ends up being a major problem you could just talk to a gunsmith. Fals are hit or miss with the premade ones, so its hard to tell sometimes. So i would do some research on companies that are one of the major makers in them. With a fal you have to decide if you want a pretty good one and buy a premade all at once one, or build one to your perfect specifications over time. again if you know a gunsmith id consult them before i go for a kit of any kind.

Northrup already got the contract for the B-21 and they're in direct competition with Boeing for the F/A-XX program, they're also dominating the Naval UAV/UCAV market atm.

>>34373121
and GDLS is still king of US vehicle procurement.

>>34373148
All vehicles or just aircraft? I thought that Oshkosh was #1 in this area and that GD made little else (in the way of military equipment) beyond the Abrams and drones.

The F-117 was more of proof-of-concept than an actual fighter. It lacked many essential elements necessary for a fighter jet, mainly air-to-air capability and radar warning receivers.

From what I can gather it was as maneuverable as an F-4, i.e. no slouch.

As long as she didn't catch syphilis again

>>34372405
no, she was only able to hone her shooting skills by hunting birds for local restaurants and to feed her family. can you imagine a girl walking around Cincinnati today with a rifle shooting birds?

>>34372430
so you're saying instead of spaghetti in her pocket she had spaghetti in her chili

at least annie oakely did some shit. unlike that failure amelia earhart

I imagine it's something like blissful righteous anger because you are defending your homeland, people, and values from foreign invaders who are mostly kids out of high school have have had a dramatically more comfortable life than you up to that point.

For the record, I'm empathizing, not sympathizing, because I consider myself a nationalistic and patriotic American.

You literally have to ask some rice farmer or some goatfucker.

If you go to sweden or germany it will be easy to find some of them so you can always make some kind of poll about their favorite things about the us.
