What is it about World War I that makes the pictures so unnerving to look at?
>>34148441
I don't know what you mean. What's wrong with that picture?
>>34148449
Just generally speaking WWI has some of the most creepy photos out there. More so than most other major wars imo.
>>34148470
I think you just have a fear of gas masks
Combat vets please recall your most traumatic experiences in this thread. Don't be a pussy and go "WAAAA I NEED TO FORGET" fucking tell your story instead of eventually dying and leaving that experience to oblivion.
-Have you ever killed someone? What did it feel like?
-Have you had 'nam tier trauma?
Etc.
>>34148144
You have to go first, faggot. Then again, I'm pretty sure playing CoD 24/7 doesn't qualify as combat vet.
>>34148168
No I don't because I've never been in the military and am a NEET recluse hikki wizard. If you don't respond and tell your story because it makes you feel all sad and cwy, you've just been bullied by me, Chad. High school is now reversed. Cough your story up.
>>34148144
The most fucked up thing I did was either me or my buddy accidentally shot and probably killed a young girl, and I think about if alot. I think the most traumatic part of my military experience wasn't overseas, but the assimilation process returning home. I've been out for seven years and I still feel stuck somewhere between soldier and civilian, in some eternal void. It's played hell on my social relationships and I feel like I'm starting to become really fucking weird or deranged. Not bitching, just sharing my thoughts. Anyway here's a quick rundown of the incident I described
>Baghdad 2007, middle of essentially a civil war between Sunni and Shiite
>Get called out to help some IP that have some dead bodies laying in the road
>Turns out they only needed rubber gloves
>Convoy stops, I'm rear gunner
>Being stupid looking at dead bodies and not watching my sector like I should have
>*,POP......WHIISSSSSSSSP.......*BOOOOM*
>RPG shot right at my turret from about 30m away, goes over my turret and explodes in a field in front of my truck
>Immediately return fire with 240 to the general area the RPG came from
>My buddy who is in the truck in front of me also begins to return fire
>Go to do a battle damage assessment
>See panicked Iraqi man running with a young girl probably 7or 8 in his arms
>She's completely limp, slightly waxy/yellow looking, bloody but tranquil
>Try to stop and render aid...he refuses
>We continue mission
>Platoon cracks jokes that I smoked a little girl
Yah I know it's fucked up, that kind of fighting is nothing but fucked up
Could President Trump launch the missiles on his own and start a nuclear war, if he so desired?
Yes, assuming nobody down the line mutinied, which would almost definitely prevent a drunk launch.

Nah I'm pretty sure one of his aides would strangle him with the help of the SS at this point.
I mean on paper yes.
Either officially or unofficially? I've seen it here before that the nickname for the MG42 was called Hitler's buzzsaw. I spoke to a guy at my school, whose was a Lt and was a signaller when they still had conscription, and he said the MG3 is still called that. Also not too long ago, there was a news report of soldiers painting palm-trees on their vehicles.
Not /pol/, but genuinely curious. It seems like from a soldiers perspective it'd wouldn't be a stretch to use some of the successes of the past as a morale booster. Speaking from a commonwealth nation, we still use a lot of British terminology, and customs.

Officially the Wehrmacht is not part of the traditions of the Bundeswehr.
The Bundeswehr's lines of tradition are:
>The Prussian military reforms
>The civil-military resistance of the 20.Juli 1944
>The Bundeswehr's own history
But you can't stop Germans from being German, and in reality most soldiers had their granddads or great-granddads fight in the Wehrmacht which results in a lot of memorabilia lying around in most barracks. Also the most infantry tactics of today are inherited from the Wehrmacht, but I never heard anyone call the MG Hitlersäge, but the Africa palm tree is still used in the Bundeswehr as an official unit symbol and tactical symbol.
I saw some derringer flats on theflatspot for less than 20 burgers. What tools would I need to finish the derringer build with a parts kit? On a scale of mating AR-15 lowers/uppers to functional Luger using hand files, how difficult is it?
>>34147751
>theflatspot
The only derringer parts I can find only have the sideplates . They direct you to buy the barrel, trigger, and grips from another company.
>>34147790
I know some people sell NOS parts kits on eBay for ~100 dollarydoos, but I don't know if excalibur is still in business, since phone orders seem pretty antiquated in 2017
>>34147751
>derringer
I like derringers, I know they are hopelessly outdated, but I don't care.

Hi Point C9. Not even kidding.
>>34147281
on the topic of buying handguns. Is there any good reason why I shouldn't buy a CZ - P 09?
>>34147281
Beretta 92s surplus for like 230 bucks
Is it autistic that these are my only four weapons?
From top to bottom:
• M&P 15-22
• Walther P22
• Henry Mini Bolt (.22LR)
• Model 1894 30-30 Winchester (that I've never fired)
>>34147212
No, but it sure looks like your ammo budget is really low.
>>34147212
Nah, 4 guns is enough to be honest.
Unless you're planning on hunting bear or elk.
>>34147212
I only have 4 guns right now as well, but I definitely want to add a 12g pump. Right now I have:
Savage model 99 in 300 savage
Savage model 64fl 22lr
Heritage Rough Rider 22lr
And a RIA m206 .38 special
I'll add pictures later
What is it about working at a gun store that seems to demand ypu also case of crippling autism? (Based on my experience in gun stores in NH and MA).
They all act like they couldn't care less if you were there and get pissed if you let them know you don't know very much about something and would like their opinion on it. The only other place I've had this customer service experience is fancy coffee shops staffed entirely by fags and hipster retards.
>>34146845
>NH and MA
fudds.
>>34146854
This is definitely a possibility I hadn't considered
>>34146845
because they get paid $15/hr plus commission ?
Are vehicle based CIWS a good idea?
The Turks just developed the Korkut (pick related) and is designed to shoot down missiles and low flying planes, UAVs and helicopters.
>>34146840
Tell me, when was the last time the roaches had a good idea (ignoring westernization of kebab land)?
>>34146840
I don't know if that's the best way but it seems like some sort of defense against UAVs is a good idea
>m113 derived vehicle
>big turret
Oh is this a drop in system for their APCs?
Thanks for killing the .280 British you fuckers. We could have done wonderful things with it.
>>34146801
Good job on killing your own civilian arm sales industry and blaming other people for your failures in weapons.
>>34146801
>>34146808
That is absolutely an entirely different matter and one I won't disagree with you on.
In Albuquerque for the summer and want to do some shooting. What are the best ranges and stores out here in this shitty desert?
>>34146645
You're lucky, there is an abundance of shitty desert to shoot in and also the NRA mega range
>>34146670
To bad I couldn't bring my guns due to some bullshit circumstances. Where is a good range to rent.

Hey /k/ I'm trying to join the navy but my friends are telling me that I am going to come back gay if I do so. Is there any truth to this? Does the navy take straight guys and force them into faggotry?
>>34146499
Nope
If you are "afraid" of turning gay, you already are
>>34146499
>I am going to come back gay
I've got bad news for you, OP. Do you know what they say about OP?
>>34146499
Just embrace your inner faggot and roll with it. Remember, no one can love you like a sailor

I've got a pretty big cock so maybe one of them will be into it and I can buy myself some time.
