Smokeless powder has potential for the battle field but for civilians, not much. Unless you plan on shooting in your local saloon there's really not advantage to smokeless powder

Just heard from some faggot that 'self-loading' pistols will be the new norm for the military and concealed carry in a couple of years. Said something about how they are going to make pistols that feed from a box magazine like those Lee-Metford rifles the Brits have instead of using cylinders. Then he went on talking about springs and recoil or something.
Fucking lunatics. I bet folks like him don't even use mercury to treat their syphilis.

>>34236945
Yes. I tried using some but all my brass is useless now! I think it may have to do with our mercury primers. Ammo manufacturers don't want us reloading our cases!

Why isn't the Stoner 63 more prolific? Why didn't the military adopt it outside of special forces work? Was it too expensive? Was the M16 already adopted?

No nation is "absorbed" they make the decision domestically to apply for membership, try to meet all the requirements for membership, then it's sent off to Brussels where it is then discussed with the current members. They weigh the pros and cons of letting in this new state.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4YwnsdfWJ8
Also, just a few days ago Ukraine made the move of domestically affirming it's desire to join NATO.

As long as Ukraine has the conflict in the east and doesn't give up on Crimea, never. Same as Georgia. Russia set those frozen conflicts up on purpose.

How do you fags feel about Women serving in the military?
Personally, I don't think women, regardless of how much of a butch dyke she is, should be allowed to serve period, but as far as I'm aware, they're planning on having co-ed units. I have a feeling that will ruin our military (US btw)
Anyway, I'm usually post on /pol/, but I was curious about how you guys on /k/ felt about this issue?

I think we should give women a chance to be in combat roles, but we're setting them up for failure by putting them in co-ed units.
If they can find enough women who want to be infantry to create a platoon, that'd be something worth trying. And they HAVE to be named the Amazons
>>
If there IS a co-ed unit, condoms and birth control expenses WILL rise.
>>
They're fine in non-combat and pilot roles. Anything dealing with actually fighting should definitely not be up to women, ever.

He spent 54 rounds to kill 3 people who he barricaded in a small space.
Keep in mind, the average self-defense engagement only uses 1-2 shots to kill or incapacitate the target.

>In a House Armed Services Committee hearing this week, officials said the service is committed to maintaining a minimum of six A-10 combat squadrons through 2030. Why so few? The Air Force may not have enough money to fund an ongoing wing replacement for a full nine squadrons worth of aircraft. The head of Air Combat Command, Gen. Mike Holmes, on Friday said in an interview with Defense News that reducing the number of squadrons is a possibility. Holmes “explained that we currently only have funding to replace the wings of 173 A-10s,” ACC spokeswoman Capt. Carrie Volpe told Military.com on Friday.
>Volpe stressed the service is aware that the National Defense Authorization Act restricts any A-10s from being divested “until the F-35/A-10 comparative testing is complete and all reports to Congress are delivered.” The A-10 is a Cold War-era ground-attack plane known for its iconic gun designed to shred tanks and its tough titanium armor designed to take hits and keep flying.
>Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., an avid A-10 supporter and former ‘Hog pilot herself, this week questioned — once again — the Air Force’s motives. “From my view and my experience, if we need that capability until a proven, tested replacement comes along, nine squadrons is the absolute minimum,” she said. “So I really would like to know — I think this is the first time you guys have publicly said — although I have a pretty good intel sources with my buds in the A-10 community — but it’s the first time you’ve publicly said that you’re going to go down to six squadrons. I’d really like to know what those planning assumptions are of the six squadrons,” she said.

Because as long as other countries have nukes there can't be any kind of disarmament.
Also the nuclear deterrent has saved several western countries from pointless wars, and so far two countries that both have nuclear arms have yet to fight an all out war.

They do. We were trained to rig explosives to trees for ambushes and such.
If you drill a hole to a tree and put explosives there, even a hundred grams of tnt is enough to fell a large tree.
