If you end up shooting someone in a self-defense situation, is it better for you, legally speaking, if they live or die?

Yes, let lil Jamal-kun live and enjoy spending extra money in court even if his claims don't hold up. That's still either thousands of dollars more down the drain than if he was dead or at least higher legal premiums for you.

Self-defense situations cost a defender at least $10,000 minimum in court. By letting the cunt live, you doubled the fucking price.

Thinking about buying a bolt action rifle for my collection

Was thinking about getting a remington model 700 in 30-06
Is it worth it /K/? Never dipped into them before and after loads of reviews ot looks pretty damn fun.
Any recommendations would be nice, somewhat new to guns and completely new to bolt action rifles.

Where do you plan to store it? Is it going to be in the open for people to see as a talking piece or in a safe where no one will ever see it unless you go to the range?

Does /k/ think that it would be possible for the Republic of Ireland to invade and occupy the north of Ireland?

Bumping for interest.

The Irish military has little to no offensive weaponry with which to strike positions in Northern Ireland.
The Irish pride themselves on having a Pacificst foreign policy with a purely defensive force.

IIRC, theyre too cucked to do anything
>>
Lets see
>Navy
Literally no ships with missiles. None.
>Air force
7 (SEVEN) turboprop aircraft capable of mounting light machine guns and rockets. Nothing else capable of mounting armament.
>Army
Small, and 0 (ZERO) tanks

For all intents and purposes, this military might as well not exist.
>>

>implying they need it
The fifth column would swarm over the countryside in a day or two. The only question would be the blowback from the UK and it's not like they are capable of mounting a D-Day in this day and age. Most likely the government would fall and Scotland and Wales would choose to secede as well.

Considering there's no way to replicate the iconic sunrise suit without some sowing skills I'd recommend just some hobo-tier operate stuff with a gasmask for the stalker look.

>>33952456
I wasn't gonna go Sunrise suit, just a STALKER theme. But the problem of doing something distinctively STALKER-y is that all of it seems Iike a heatstroke waiting to happen in the AZ summer.

Is there some slavshit milsurp I can order online that's bearable in hot weather and I can use to throw together a STALKER cosplay in 2 weeks?

>>33952597
not slavshit, but for a gas mask try an Avon S-10 or fm-12. You'll thank me when you don't have tunnel vision and mesothelioma

How did the US think it was ok to use a GPMG designed from the ground up as a vehicle mounted weapon as a dismounted infantry weapon? How did it go on for decades in the same heavy as fuck and with the more vehicularly suited buttstock of the M240B?

It's damn near 9 pounds heavier than a PKM, and about 4.5 pounds heavier than the M60 that it replaced. Not a big deal for a vehicle mounted weapon, but that weight difference represents a potential for hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

>Just suck it up
I know this will come up. This is a stupid defense of a design flaw when it has been demonstrated a comparable weapon can be made that weighs less.

>deal with if fuckboi

I know that when aircraft carriers first started to become a thing, there were arguments between admirals who favored carriers, and older admirals who thought that battleships were still going to be the primary capital ships. Why question is, what arguments were there in favor of battleships over carriers? It seems kind of obvious that a ship capable of carrying torpedo bombers is going to BTFO everything else, especially large, slow targets that cannot really dodge torpedoes. What sort of arguments were used against carriers?
17 posts and 1 images submitted.

>>33952158
Because of a multitude of reasons.

For one, planes were short ranged, experimental, unreliable, heavily effected by the weather, couldn't carry much and were very slow. So, sure they could take down any other ship if they got a good hit but the chances of them being usable were low without having your carrier very close by.

For another, battleships and other such crafts could put up an effective AA screen against these slow moving craft and resist some bombing thanks to their damage control measures.

However as planes gained in these regards, very little could be done to close the gap on the side of battleships.


Also the fact that the air force and navy often got into a fight as to who should command these planes and so on. Either resulting in the navy not wanting to waste their budget to build a floating airbase for another branch or the navy having to fund the development of an additional kind of each plane, since the air force didn't need to worry about launching from carriers.

Add in the fact that many of the supporters on the aircraft side were, echoing a similar problem in the army, lower in rank and thus ignored or didn't get promoted specifically because they shared different beliefs from their superiors. This was part of the reason why WW 1 saw such terrible losses to the newest weapons, as the people who knew how to use them weren't able to contribute.
>>
>>33952158

The only carrier that the US ever built that was kind of questionable was the first one, CV-1 Langley, which was a replenishment vessel that was repurposed into a carrier. The next two carriers, Lexington and Saratoga, were built on battlecruiser hulls, and they were very capable warships from the beginning.

So what should i get? Its also worth noting im a bit of a poorfag so lets keep it under $550 preferably
>>
Okay, sure, that's fine.
Anything you pick will be particularly uncomfortable compared to lightweight polymer guns, but that's your call.

PPK is a great firepower to size ratio and snubnose wheelguns have been a staple of the industry for ages.

Just remember that any gun is better than no gun, and if you do eventually find it too uncomfortable to wear daily it's better to swallow your pride and get something more functional than aesthetic.

Is there a particular reason

>muh aesthetics

is at the top of your list for things you want out of a CCW gun?

What does /k/ think of Ruger lowers? Specifically, this one that was sitting in a LGS near me. Inb4 it's overpriced - I'm in California where we pay a premium on firearms, and for here, that's downright cheap. But is it a decent lower?

Also, what's the general consensus on AR lowers? What are good brands, and what are the ones to avoid?

now build a cucked as fuck rifle begging for an end to all this.

fuck tho staring at that pic, did the gun shop just take apart a ruger they had? it looks like it use to be a finished gun, and why would ruger just ssell a lower?
