any members of the old guard remember that one guy who tried to hit on some girl at a gun range by telling her "you are my target"?
>>34273537
I remember that fucker. Don't have the cap though. He got kicked out, right?
>>34273537
lol, yea that was funny, I really enjoyed the ass chewing for that one and the endless EO/SHARP briefings afterwards

How long was the odachi used for?
The odachi seems to have both emerged and enjoyed its by far greatest popularity in the Nanbokucho period, 1336-1392. After that its use has most likely been rather limited. Most remaining odachi blades were cut down to katana in the Momoyama period (1573–1615).

Turns out that polearms>Everything else, especially when it comes to ultra large completely impractical swords.
Wanted to read some stuff about mercenary from last century. Crazy real happened stories.
I would guess autobiographies from Africa are the place where to search them.
Any recommendations?

Hey - Interstate 60! I love that movie! I always wished they'd make a TV series out of it. Good taste, anon.
So I know that near where I live there is an oil rig in dock. From what I can see there is only one way up to it from the dockside.
Should SHTF would it be reasonable to think that this would make a good base? It has the high vantage points to spot people coming and only one means of access however enough space to store lots of food or equipment.
How would /k/ go about turning it into a SHTF fortress, also general SHTF base ideas and plans.
Pic related, almost identical to the oil rig near me.
Anons!

The British Terrier Armoured Digger. Lightweight, fast as buggery and with an incredibly wide array of attachments. Its like a multi-tool in the form of an armored vehicle.
I dont know why people that want dont have a job but have some tiny amounts of money left dont just buy such equipment and do jobs with it.
That digger thing in op's pic is far cheaper than any other non military digger yet its built to survive and is probably fun to operate
Here is some shit i dont know what for
this thing has a t72 body
they built them on any other tanks body as well

It hurts. Why must my government be full of pussies? Shit like the recent London attack would have been stopped the second the terrorists got out their van to stab people if people were able to carry like the yanks do.

Tough shit. You made your bed, now lie in it you whinging twat. I'm going to go shooting today after my morning class just to think of all you poor fuckers 'across the pond'. Cheerio.
>>34272619
Or you know, pull your finger out, stop being a lazy twat and get your FAC. Enjoy shooting suppressed .50's and other suppressed goodies.
SVD's are a thing in the UK along with most center fire rifles so long as they are straight pull/no gas block.
Stop making us look bad, we can have funs. We just have to do some more paper work.

I got better but what would be the worst quality weapon you would use to end it, inb4 WA2000.

If I was gonna off myself I'd helium exit bag though

What is the /k/ verdict on bump fire stocks?
I wanted to get a class 3 machine gun, but I don't have 30 grand to pull out of my ass, so I heard these sub $300 stocks were a very close legal alternative
Anyone own/use them?

I've heard there are better legal alternatives

Porque no los dos?
Seriously, though, would both work, or would it cause the hammer to trip before the bolt seats and stop firing?
So /k/, I've been thinking.
The current crossbow I own has the potential to launch a bolt at 360 FPS. As we know, this can go in and out the broadside of a deer at 100 yards, and still bury itself in a tree to its fletchings.
How would one go about calculating the energy loss going through, say, a torso (for autistic SHTF purposes) and how many this one bolt would go through before it wouldn't over penetrate anymore?

Common folks can't afford to fight the mafia, so they turn to them for protection.
Does having a better weapon (ar15) makes you better protected from mafia nowadays?
Do we fear for kissing our life or the fear of getting our life fucked up by the "mafia" who has more gun and more resources to fuxk you up?
Like I'm the post nam era, there is always a mafia vs dindu gansta rivalry, I just found that the gangsta always seems very weak ( who only has pure violence, but doesn't give a fuck) comparing to the mafia ( who has more power)
What the hell are you on about? The Mob's a shitshow of what it used to be, it basically runs a few illegal gambling ops, a little bit of drugrunning, and some CP rings. That's it.

Maybe I'm too hungover, but what the actual fuck are you talking about? Was that even English
If you gave a modern civillian a (historically accurate) rifle and sent him back in time to one of the following historical battles
>Stalingrad
>Berlin 1945
>Omaha beach
>Kursk
>Iwo Jima
How do you think he would fair? What kind of memes would he have learned from videogames and war movies that he thinks work in real life but don't? What stupid shit would a civilian do that a solider wouldn't?
He would be able to 360 no scope the entire Russian army you stupid fuck.
>>34271981
He would panic, find cover and sit there while soldiers fight. Without any sort of training or experience, the guy's going to be completely fucking useless.
>>34271981
>How would he fare
That depends an awful lot on the civilian. And you could also stand to give him things like load bearing gear and actual ammo for his gun, you chucklefuck.
but >>34272025 has the right of it, if he's smart he hands in his rifle and moves toward the rear of whatever faction you've shoved him into fairly quickly.
>What memes did he learn from war movies and video games
If he doesn't immediately fuck off to the rear lines and instead makes a fight of it, then take your pick. In urban or in open environments he's still hosed because he runs out into the open expecting his plot armor to send all the bullets into the dirt around him and he still gets blasted.
In an urban environment he fails to check his corners properly and gets nailed for being too aggressive of a shithead.
In an open environment he gets picked off for standing up.
In both cases, he probably will get wacked leaping behind concealment that he thinks is cover and will protect him from bullets.
And I doubt any shooting he does will be very effective.
But I am more interested in what will happen after the battle, provided he survives. Which I think he may, given you also haven't given him a uniform and as such he is clearly a civilian and probably dressed very strangely at that.
I would be interested in what would happen if you gave the USSR, the nips, goimany or the proto-NATO alliance a civilian with a solidly average understanding of what is for him history up into the late 2010s. And how they would leverage that knowledge to try to alter things.
/k/ I'm trying to get into guns and i'm trying to put away a percentage of my income each month to put towards my hobby i'm trying to get an order of th emost useful firearms for my purposes to buy them in once I have enough money in my firearms fund for each I guess. Currently I just have my cheapo winchester 12 gauge pump my dad bought me for christmas when I was like 16 (20 now). Here's what i'm thinking and i'd like to hear /k/'s input. Live in AZ
>Model 686 (decided I wanted a revolver over a semi first)
>AR-15 Build
>Moss 590A1
>Glock 19
>Mosin/SKS some other cheap surplus rifle, maybe 2 or 3 seeing as it's significantly cheaper
>Some sort of .45 (may trade my dad for his p320)
>.308 of some description (M1A, MR762, Scar 17, something big I can save towards.)
Any other practical use guns you guys can think of before I start collecting weird shit (Barretts, C&R or other just non-practical stuff)? With my current income I could probably buy one or two of these a year.
>>34271941
you may want to look into like an AK or another modern rifle platform after the .45 or .308 but otherwise a pretty good choice in order
Tucson?
Not a bad list. I'd get a ruger over a smith since they're made there and all.

you'll end up shooting it more than any of those

I'm not a fag
So, /k/alifornians, I am going to be passing your state to on my way from Washington down to Texas. What are the laws pertaining to bringing non CA compliant firearms through California? Is it a no go? Can I under certain conditions? I am asking because I was planning on visiting some family I still have in CA and I was wondering how screwed I would be if I got stopped and had something similar to pic related in my vehicle.
