Russia will be holding another Zapad Exercise.
What are your expecting?
Hopefully something like this but with Tigrs.

TASS report it will only be around 12,000-17,000 serviceman. It won't be like Zapad-2014 with 150,000 people.
>>35086018
Because 13k is an official threshold after which you have to allow foreign inspections and observers. Zapad 2013 was announced to be 12 thousand too.

Where are all these claims coming from?
The FN Five-seveN is the perfect duty sidearm or full size carry pistol for a wide range of roles and individuals. With its light recoil, high capacity, light weight, adjustable sights, and versatile, potent chambering, it is a true contender for the top spot.
the 5.7x28 cartridge is extremely versatile. From varmint hunting to penetrating Level IIIa Kevlar, the 5.7 has it all covered. Got a role for a pistol caliber? 5.7 can and already has done it. Overcoming a wide variety of threats and challenges is no problem for this versatile round.
Need a potent daily carry loadout? No problem. Load up some 40gr V-Max, some 28gr JHP, or some Elite Ammunition T6B, and you are good to go.
In today's violent world, and with body armor more accessible and affordable than ever before, the possibility of encountering an armored threat grow higher each day. Police, guards, and even individual citizens often demand the ability to defeat tough Level IIIa Kevlar armor with reliability. Loadings that perform this role are illegal in most common pistol cartridges. 5.7x28 overcomes this hurdle. Self defense loadings from various companies defeat IIIa Kevlar with ease. Some such loadings are the Elite Ammunition S4M, T6B, DevastaTOR, and PenetraTOR. LEO/MIL can acquire steel tipped SS190 as well. Many of these loadings are barrier blind or semi-barrier blind, depending on your needs.
Fancy varmint work? 5.7x28 has this covered as well. A wide range of hunting loadings are available, including but not limited to the 40gr V-Max, 36gr Barnes Varmint Grenade, and the 35gr Nosler Ballistic Tip.
Need more convincing?
Light recoil means faster, more accurate follow up shots and increased operator confidence.
A higher magazine capacity means more threats can be dispatched before requiring a magazine change.
A lighter pistol means more comfortable carry and more weight capacity on the belt for additional tools.
The flat-shooting 5.7 enables you to place shots on target at farther ranges.

>Got a role for a pistol caliber? 5.7 can and already has done it.
Offensive handgun.
>>35084099
So, /k/... Why haven't you bought a Five-seveN yet?
>>35084115
Handguns, by nature, don't make the best offensive weapons, but if there were one, (Excluding pistols that are full auto with stocks on them) it would be the Five-seveN.
With a 20+1 capacity and readily available +10 round magazine extensions, the Five-seveN is capable in such a role.

how can you be so shit right now and not have a firearm?
Ok /k/, I live in the PNW. We've been smoked out due to the fires that have burning in the region for the last couple months. For the past week, the air quality has been so bad its been hard to breathe, especially for someone with asthma. Unfortunately, I have to work outside with no ways out of it (not that I want to). So, I was wondering, what's the best gas mask for being out in smoke all day, preferabally surplus that's reasonablly cheap, but I can buy new.
>>35081391
Whatever takes 40mm filters and still has working seals. israeli civil defense , drager m65 are both good, just use relatively new filters
Just get some 3M particulate masks.
>>35081572
>this
Cheaper, easier to get and easier to replace. You could even go with a half face respirator, but cartridge price will add up over time. And, yes, the cartridge will eventually need to be replaced.
Why do gun stores seem to have such bad customer service. What is it about the gun community that attracts such snobs, and assholes. Every type of store seems to have occasionally poor customer service, but it seems to happen so often with gun stores.
Don't walk into a gun store and act like a spaz and perhaps you won't get treated like the next twitchy school shooter.

And you deal with it day in and day out because its a business and if you want to survive you will eat that shit and smile knowing full well that selling your wares and even believing in the 2A as much as you can wont stop some of the mouth breathers you call customers from doing something stupid and causing the ATF's cock already jammed up your ass to start jumping around and making your life more difficult than it already is.
Hi /k/
Britfag here, I'm thinking of taking fencing lessons and eventually coming into ownership of a rapier.
Can you guys advise on the legality of the following:
I buy the materials needed, pay a blacksmith to forge the blade part along with an attachable hilt (that I can attach to the blade at my home to create the rapier), then once the parts are fabricated I put them both into a GPS-locked case that only opens once I get home.
The blade would be made to "methods" post-1954.
Attached is an image from the UK's government website on the law regarding knives etc.
What I've noticed is that nowhere does it say that I cannot get a sword made, or atleast a blade made for myself. If I own all the materials prior to fabrication then the blade is owned by me, the blacksmith is merely changing something which I own. Surely getting it made doesn't mean that it is being "brought" into the UK? The blacksmith handing me the blade wouldn't be "giving" it to me as I already own it.
Any anons got any advice on this, or is my plan just retarded?
Thanks.
this board moves fast
Move to America where you can own a gun you fucking cuck. Enjoy getting fucked by Muhammed while you fiddle around with your GPS locked rapier.
>>35081460
Not interested in cowardly guns.
Swords are more manly.
Can you open-carry rapiers in the US?

Why aren't all guns recoilless?
wastes energy and makes a ruckus
>>35080701
Because they are less efficient and u use gases to propel the gun instead of the projectile
Think about what happens when you fire one of those inside a tank turret. Where does the gas go?
If nukes brought relative world peace, wouldn't reliable anti nuke defences allow massive conventional wars again.
>>35079815
Yep.
>>35079815
I reckon that depends on which nations actually have a reliable defense against nukes.
>>35079815
This is why no nation wants to spark an anti nuke arms race.
Ok so I'll explain to you why the US and South Korea are both effectively fucked. If the North develops a dangerous enough nuclear deterrent which could fuck up major US cities and other major cities in the region (which they are set to do so) then they can effectively invade the south or place an ultimatum on the US and the South to hand over control of the peninsular to them. It will be an incredibly difficult situation for the US and everyone else because they'll be nuked to shit if they intervene. The war is either going to restart very soon with the US bombing the shit out of NK before they develop said nuclear deterrent or the US will end up doing shit all and eventually the North would be able to regain control over the South. At this point, the latter seems most likely due to the unwillingness of the US to strike first and the complications with China in the region.
>sanctions
>even more sanctions
>trade blockade
Kind of hard to invade if you can't feed your own army
>>35079539
Not OP, but i've read quite an interesting article on the topic today.
Apparently some african countries keep on doing business with NK, notably, namibia zimbabwe, and others, trading NK weapons against foreign currencies.
Also, China often offers coverage for shipping to NK's exports, effectively rendering such blockade, or trade sanctions, impossible.
It's a known fact, not long ago, a joint NK-RPC ship was intercepted on the suez canal. This one didn't went through, but they can't stop them all.
>>35079348
DPRK will maybe have the initiative, and bomb seoul or guam or whatever, but if they do so, the US is gonna nuke the shit out of them.
Kim is trying is best to be frightening, but it's quite doubtful that he'll effectively go ahead and launch a war he know he'll lose for sure.
How is this legal?

what the fuck i'm actually rustled
shooting looters is a national pastime
>>35078990
Why would they do this? Surely there's a modest reason. Maybe they're allowing citizens to store their firearms in a large armory for temporary protection, or maybe they're worried about weapons getting lost, and picked up by criminals, or maybe they-
>the government is just going to take the guns for themselves
Fuck this. Fuck them.

They're a protectorate not a state so they don't benefit from the small amount of states rights we do have.

Polish goverment signed a contract for 53k new rifles for their military. They are also changing the name from MSBS to GROT (spearhead/arrowhead) after general Stefan 'Grot' Rowecki. Rifle passed the tests in SF and army and is ready for production.
>>35078609
Isn't that the rifle that can be easily converted into a bullpup as well as serve as MG/sniper?
....so yet another SCAR clone?
>>35078609
Holy crap, and I have thought that it will be stuck in developement hell forever. GJ, although there are still many things to fix.
>>35078684
Yeah, all true.
>>35079228
Major improvement from Beryl AK tho.
