If you could go back in time and fight in any conflict in history which one would you choose?
I'd choose nam, especially if I could get my hands on that 70's acid
I'd go fight in WW2 as a US infantryman liberating Europe.

so glad someone posted this so I didn't have to.
So the other day I saw an add for a device that could allow a flare gun to fire either 22lr or .38 special cartridges. It was about fifty dollars. Can someone redpill me on the legality and effectiveness of these devices?
legality? what could you possibly be talking about? that's just a steel cylinder with a hole down the center.
Subcaliber inserts?
Probably for the most part legal as long as you are not forbidden from owning a handgun in the first place. This is not taking laws specific to certain localities into account. Might be dangerous though. Don't know if a flare stresses the hinge and latch as much as a .38 spc.

Hi guys
>>33849231
hey
>>33849231
>>33849273
I love that we have literal redshirts.
What are some /k/ approved jobs?
I'm working on applying for Border Patrol, any Anons on here work in the BP or have worked in it?
Whats the application process like? Day to Day life?
What can I do to prepare for the job?
>>33849040
I'm also kinda interested in this. But If I'm not mistaking you gotta have rev LE exp, which I plan to work on it in a place other than my home state.
>>33849040
I work for an online company where we go through forums and look for anything that's not appropriate

Fast food worker, mall cop, janitor
Time and time again I hear that firearms themselves won't change much in the near future but that optics, electronics and ammunition will.
I understand the first two, but knowing jack-shit about ballistics, physics, and manufacturing I have no idea what new ammunition would be like.
What do people mean by this?
Caseless seems a dead meme, higher velocity? Lighter? Heavier? Composites?
What's to come for ammunition in the near future?
>>33848850
I'm looking forward to railguns. Projectile won't have to be propelled by gunpowder.
>>33848850
Ammunition changes means shit like polymer tipped bullets for better ballistic coefficients or to expand properly, shit like hornady's ELD-X bullets having that heat shield bullshit
>>33848850
>What's to come for ammunition in the near future?
Drones, drones everywhere.

I fucking hate sharpening curves. Why are so many knife blades curved?
>>33848709
A E S T H E T I C
>>33848709
Also why isn't reverse tanto a more common type?
>>33848709
Same reason an axe is curved, to produce a better cut even if the swing or slice only grazes the target.
If this happens to be dubs, 'czech em.

Why is it that WW2 battleships constantly get shit on but cruisers get let off the hook for some reason? Cruisers have all the same weaknesses as battleships, except they're even more vulnerable to aircraft because they're smaller and have less armor. And don't cite cost as a reason, because cruisers are more expensive than battleships, relative to tonnage.
>>33848615
>Why is it that WW2 battleships constantly get shit on but cruisers get let off the hook for some reason?
Because we don't have autists crying for them to be reactivated or claiming they're still relevant.
Cruisers are long but also thin, they're also much more maneuverable than a Battleship, therefore less of a liability.
Also Guided Missile Cruisers.
Returning to the concept wouldn't be a bad thing.
>203mm guns are already the biggest land based artillery, so anything longer-range would be tasked to a missile.
>computerized targeting and motorized turrets would make crews small
>armor would actually be effective if its facing normal coastal defenses.
For 15000 tons displacement its a lot to get.
Notice anything wrong?
>>33848365
Yes, the Kriss Vector.
>>33848365
it's illegal
>>33848365
Yeah dude has a strange way of holding a nailgun.
I have the option to get a Yugo SKS for $430 and it's almost factory condition or a Red army standard RAS47 for $549. Which is the better option?
Ak. Its overall a better rifle. Paying 400+ for an SKS is total cuckage and the rifles aren't really worth that much.
>>33848352
An AMD-63 for $550
Get the AK, then save up to try to get the SKS later, and but more ammo if you can't.
Can my country's rifle even compete?
>>33848189
Not against the HK416 and the SCAR, according to the French competition.
>>33848189
It's actually a pretty nifty rifle, DESU.
Still think my nation's rifle is better, though.
>>33848189
>Can my country's rifle even compete?
Pretty easily, considering most modern firearms do 99.9% the same thing.
Post aesthetic photos of your gats.
I'll start.
still probably my favorite over the years

/k/ help me out please

What do you think?
Bad ammo?
The fact that the same round failed twice makes me think this maybe.
Issue with gun maybe and if so goddamnit.
>>33847746
what brand is the gun?
If it is a deep primer strike it would be the gun.
It sounds like the ammo is the problem.
>>33847746
What rifle and ammo? Any pictures of the rounds that didn't go off?
>>33847746
details
what gun?
what ammo?
are you a fag?
What development would make artillery and aircraft irrelevant?
Mutually assured autism.
>>33847740
Peace.
>>33847821
When the second post is the best post.
Can I buy pic related? And if yes, where?
>buy fnc
>buy ak5c conversion parts from rtg
>paint green
>>33847660
I think a few Ak 5 part kits came into the country a few years ago, but now Sweden won't allow them to be exported anymore.
If u want a FNC just buy one.
>>33847673
There a preferred place to get such things or is the world my oyster on this one?
