Alright after all the shit that's been going down, I'm looking into buying a rifle. Something under $1200 and doesn't cost $2 a round. Any ideas?

AR-15

.webm related, ferret owner reporting. I have two fur snakes/long rats/smelly cats/fuzzies, they are extremely obedient and train daily with each other in combat.
.. they don't bite and are super kind and they play with each other every day.
>"did someone say Battle Buddy thread?"
I have a P938 which I carry every day, and I'm looking for a secondary carry pistol, for those times when the P938 isn't a good choice. Caliber is not a big concern, but it must be centerfire. Would be nice to keep the price of the gun under $400. I'm leaning toward the LCPII, although I'm still not crazy about the new trigger - it's crisp and short, but still pretty heavy. Pic related are the four handguns I'm considering.
Here's a list of situations when my P938 hasn't worked for me:
>formal/business attire
I have a tuckable holster, but sometimes, I just don't want to have a visible "inexplicable" (to coworkers) clip on my belt coming out of my pants. P938 is a bit big and heavy for pocket carry, IMO, and I would also prefer a lighter gun for belly band carry.
>driving
My IWB holsters do not work when I have to drive for extended periods of time. I have been unable to find an ankle holster or shoulder holster for the P938 that I like. J-frames and the LCP have plenty of good ankle and shoulder holsters, though. An alternative solution would be to find a suitable ankle or shoulder holster for the P938, but I don't think there are any good ones.
>when I'm not wearing a belt, maybe around the house or whatever
The P938 is too heavy for no-belt carry. I think the LCPII and P32 might be light enough to pull it off, but the Ruger isn't sexy at all and I'm hesitant to pay good money for a Kel-tec. I'm worried about the weight of the NAA Guardian (15 oz), and also the lack of holsters for it, but it's the one of these four that I'm most in love with.
>hand-on-gun carry, in the hood
This would be the kind of situation where I might have a gun inside my jacket pocket, with my hand on the gun, while walking through certain neighborhoods, expecting to fire at belligerent criminals from through my jacket. Maybe unrealistic for my lifestyle, but I kind of just want to have the option. Only the S&W 642 would fit the bill for this.
Only rule is that I can only choose one.
Those all look lame
>>34258857
I EDC the LCPII every day appendix carry with an extra mag. It's very comfortable and hardly know its there.
Don't get a Keltec, you'll regret the purchase. Ruger is g2g. Don't know much about the seecamp knockoff, but jframes are too big for pocket concealment.
tell me about the CIA GRS what type of gear do they use?
WWII french surplus and malaysian chastity belts.

What do you think?
>should robbery be legal again
"no"
>>34258351
More like a Sea-Merc.
"A privateer was a private person or ship that engaged in maritime warfare under a commission of war.[1] The commission, also known as a letter of marque, empowered the person to carry on all forms of hostility permissible at sea by the usages of war, including attacking foreign vessels during wartime and taking them as prizes. Captured ships were subject to condemnation and sale under prize law, with the proceeds divided between the privateer sponsors, shipowners, captains and crew. A percentage share usually went to the issuer of the commission. Since robbery under arms was common to seaborne trade, all merchant ships were already armed. During war, naval resources were auxiliary to operations on land so privateering was a way of subsidizing state power by mobilizing armed ships and sailors."
>>34258331
Yes.
Ron Paul used to lobby for issuing letters of marque and reprisal for private citizens to go hunt terrorists, because he claimed the 9/11 hijackers were "air pirates."
It's 2017. Can we finally admit that iron sights are deprecated and pointless extra weight to lug around?
same thing for the forward assist
>>34258224
lightweight backup sights will always have some amount of effective utility imo
>>34258224
No, irons will never be outdated because optics can get lost, shot, break, or generally fucked up. Irons will always have a place even if it's just as a backup
2/10 for making me reply
Would you consider fighting ISIS? Why or why not?
I am looking for a second job and trying to save enough money for a plane ticket but cripping debt and supporting family is putting me further in the hole.

Only if it involves carpet bombing Islamic countries remotely while I enjoy living in America.

To think I was having a nice day, fuck man
Tons of guns and an utterly retarded populace...it's like, who would see this coming?
The Majority Whip is in hospital. They need him there to make sure they have the votes for the bill. Best to wait until the heat dies down, Voting yes on a gun rights bill on the day of a shooting is politically stupid.

>Most are not going to believe this
>I am not ex military. I have not flown any tactical aircraft except the back seat of an L39. I do have some acro time in various planes but thats about it. For the 23 years of my career i have been fortunate enough to do almost every type of civilian flying there is, but my dream was always to fly fighters, and now i have been able to do that.
>When i was a kid, i used to spend hours if not days (was up all night) playing every single imaginable combat flight sim there was. I had the entire HOTAS set up on my desk, room was covered in pics of ever plane that began with an F. I knew this was wanted to do. I knew this from 7 years old.
>When i turned 18 i tried to join the Navy. My idea was to get in, goto school, get the 4 year, and then would be launching off decks in no time. WRONG. My eyesight was less than 20/20, there was no PRK, no LASIK, no back seat to front seat program. My dream was over before it ever even started.
>I went on to have (albeit mostly overseas) a very sucessful career and still have much more to go. However something was always missing. Buying an L39 was not a solution, 1000 bucks an hour is not realistic as i am by no means a super wealthy guy.
>An opportunity came up in Libya in a Mirage F1. I sent my resume and got called back. First i thought who are these guys? Are they ISIS on the other end of this skype call?
>I was on my way to an interview in Qatar, and having a place in Istanbul i figured it would be no skin off my back to go see them. A few days after arriving in Turkey i was off to Misurata, Libya.
>I got in very late, around 0400. Met the other pilot who recently seperated from another air force and was flying the Cheetah, Mirage 3, and the F1. So he knew his stuff. However, he was told that i too was a former fighter pilot. How the hell was i to pull this off?
>Things were very relaxed at the base. It was quite amusing to see the Libyan pilots wearing flight suits and sandals. Safety was out the door. Bombs, many fused laying EVERYWHERE. Missles too. And many stupid practices like fueling up an L39 armed with rockets and having the truck in FRONT of the plane. One rocket goes off and.....BOOM.
>I finally got to see the Mig 25 in person. What a friggin beast! But they are not used too often, and a few weeks before i came a crew ejected.
>Getting back to the flying, i had spent 2 weeks studying the plane from the flight manual i bought online. I spent hours in the cockpit. It was old, but very cool. Finally i went on to engine starts which were quite simple as its only battery start. The next day i did taxiing which also very easy, and then the high speed taxi test.
>This is where things got a bit scary. I was asked by the other guy to run up to 100 kias then abort. Well, its a good thing we had over 11,000 feet of runway. I got to 100 kias and when i went to come out of burner muscle memory took over and i was trying to rotate the throttle (you need to rotate it 45 degrees to go into or out of burner) but i didnt bring it back FAR enough. I wound up almost having to take off as i hit 145 kias before i got it to idle. Scared the hell out of myself.
>Next morning was the day. We strapped in, did the comm checks on UHF red radio, and taxiied out. We went as a 2 ship about 5 seconds apart. In this plane when you hit 120 you rotate to 12 degrees and she should come off at 150. Airborne, im thinking WTF am i doing. It quickly went through my mind about all my ex fighter pilot friends telling me im gonna kill myself. But even quicker was having to not overspeed the gear, and flaps, and come out of AB at 300.
>Wow, the view was amazing. Left downwind departure and i was looking outside. I looked inside and next thing i know im over 500 kias!! Ridiculous! My wingmen joined at my 5 oclock and we climbed to 20,000. The 2 major things i noticed different then flying the old 737 is ONE, there is no wind noise. In the Boeing you hear the wind grow louder. Here all you see is the ASI needle. And 2, you can kill yourself VERY VERY quickly in this thing!
>Over the range which was about 35 miles south i did some rolls. Amazing. 360/sec. Full stick and you will roll twice. Put her into a 90 degree bank and pulled. Was quite cool to feel the G suit (which took me 15 mins to put on the first time!) inflate. 5 G was enough for me as a warm up.
>15 mins of flying around and my wingmen and i lost sight of each other. Finally i got him but then got into the clouds. Thats when murphys law took over. The #1 Alt failed, couldnt reset. The STBY ADI failed. And then the pitch ladder in the "HUD" its really just a visor, showed me 5 degree bank to the right when i was level. AND THIS WAS MY FIRST FLIGHT EVER IN A FIGHTER AND TOTALLY BY MYSELF!! No sim, no 2 seat, just books!!!
>Got the call from my wingmen that a sandstorm was approaching. Great. And i needed to be down at 3000 feet in like 5 miles and i was at 20,000!!! I pushed the nose down, and while trying to rest the alternator something told me to look at the ASI, MACH .97!!!!!

How the fuck do I respond to this? if I play it off as a joke and say something like "yeah watch your back kiddo" then it could be interpreted as a threat, but looking embarrassed that my fellow humans would even stoop to such a low probably doesn't look good either.
I know I fucked up big time by letting my coworkers know I have guns. I shipped an AR upper to my job because I wouldn't be able to pick it up otherwise, and then failed to successfully lie about what it was when they got inquisitive because I'm a shit liar ("camping equipment" didn't work), but I never even mention it otherwise.
How do I deal with this shit? Not much offends me but I'd be lying if I said my coworkers suggesting that I'd shoot the place up just because I'm socially awkward and own guns doesn't get to me at all.
Start writing the names on a list.
>>34257046
Write up a list of names, draw skulls, knives with red pen ink, badly drawn guns and weird symbols everywhere. Throw in some pentagrams, and sign it with your name in blood (doesn't have to be yours you pussy) and leave it on the copy machine.
>>34257046

Normies are so fucking stupid.
in the future, would it be possible to make an exoskeleton inside the human body that can replace the natural human skeleton?
with science progressing, can we be able to literally change our skeletons into integrated exoskeletons?
>>34257041
it's not an exoskeleton if it's inside you you dumbfuck. It would be an endoskeleton, and no. You need your regular skeleton to create red blood cells. Fucking retard.
>>34257041
>exoskeleton inside the human body
>>34257041
You don't know what the prefix exo- means do you? However, to replace some body parts with robotic limbs is entirely possible.
