>You are encouraged to use your duty/carry gun
>If it is even touching the line it receives the higher score
>The number corresponds with score value of the ring
>X==10
>no shot timer? drag a friend(kek) or your mom out with a smart phone
>shoot it as much as you want
>post as many targets as you like, we like content and love to see improvement!
>feel free to spam new threads with your previously shot best of (3) but don't add more!

Rifle portion (feel free to shoot now but doesn't officially start until 1 May)
>centerfire/.17mag rimfires with mag capacity >/=10
10 rounds standing offhand at 50 yards on B8, time limit 1 minute. 10 rounds kneeling at 50 yards on same B8, time limit 1 minute. 10 rounds prone supported/benched/bipod'd (best of what's available to you, rear bag not allowed) at 100 yards, B2, unlimited time
>centerfire/.17mag rimfires with mag capacity <10 or ultra-draconian ranges who disallow use of standard cap mags
Same string of fire but single-loaded with 6 second splits from closed action on time-constricted stages.
>For those who have ranges that disallow kneeling, sit at the bench and support using only elbows.
>This should satisfy even the most draconian range
>.22lr/.17hm2 users halve the target distance using same targets, so 25 and 50 yards respectively. Pellet rifle users shoot at 10 and 25 yards.
>scoring is the same as in pistol version and goes off "best line"

And the B3

How can I convince my compatriots that it is necessary to improve our armed forces?

I mean, look at us, were a joke! A joke full of precious resources...

8th biggest country in the world
>2,780,400 square km

Only 75.000 active soldiers
>Less than Cuba

5.000 km of coastline, but almost no Navy.


>BUT MUH MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO SPEND MONEY ON!

Yeah, I get what they say, better industry, roads, energy plants, urbanization, etc...

But that is going to be blown to pieces if someone decides that our natural resources are going to be theirs in the future.

>How can I convince my compatriots that it is necessary to improve our armed forces?

My son, I have been wondering that too for years to finally come to the final conclusion.

Military expending is directly related to needs and capabilities.

It might sound stupid, but admitting that the military budget is not bigger because it doesn't have to its the main reason countries spend less than 2% of their GPD in defense.

Just consider the following.

>Tensions between developed countries are in all time low.
>If there are problems, the political, diplomatical and economical solutions are preferred for convenience(aka sanctions)
>Countries don't try to energically impose over each other anymore.
>And taking into account that a worthwhile military is expensive, there are no returns to be expected in the near future for your investments.
>In case that a war approaches, the US or NATO is there, and if you are on the other side of the stick you are fucked either way


Thats not say that military spending is stupid, but rather, admit the fact that militaries are not built around the idea of defending a country but helping such country win political points in the international arena by helping allies, pacifying conflicts for the UN and controlling things internally here and there inside your country.

For which you only need 1,5-1,8 of your GDP.

The world should be very thankful to capitalism and NATO, one for giving the needed riches for welfare states and the other for allowing countries to expend less on their own defense.


Can such situations change? Yes, I mean even with NATO if tensions arise you can expect a budget increase in defense, but only temporarily, and if the situation comes where we need to go back to cold war era spending then Im afraid those are not good news either way.

Ways to solve it? You can do like the US and create industry around military that ultimately makes the civilian sector slightly dependent on the status of their own army.

How good is caseless ammo?

Is it just a R&D thing NATO does to jerk themselves off or does it have an actual use in the field?

Its a meme. They had serious heat dissipation and durability issues, though HK shills like to claim that they totally solved all that just before the project was cut goy, honest just a few more million shekels and we might really have something here *rubs hands*.
Cased telescoping though, that shits the future.
>>
>>33811248
I've thought about it and I can think of one major reason why we'd want it:

Less moving parts in firearms. As the Moist Nugget has taught us, fewer moving parts make for a better, more reliable firearm. A lot of moving parts are required to eject the spent casing--caseless ammo could make that unnecessary.

Combining caseless ammo with electronic ignition could make absolutely fucking indestructible guns that would have almost no moving parts.
>>
>>33811248
The big thinf that drives caseless ammunition development is simply reduced weight, whatwith and the whole "ounces become pounds" effect that Long Range Patrols tend to become victim to.
Another big thing woth caseless is that it's smaller, you can fit more of them in any designed magazine with less waste, assuming the magazine is properly designed. Don't stick caseless in a doublestack and expect shit to work just fine, because those are designed to work with round bullets.

I am in need of help /k/. While i was cleaning my room, i found my old military helmet i used to play with as a child. I wanted to find out when it was used and in which army. From the look of it, i think its helmet UVH-0004, used by US Paratroopers during Vietnam. I found out that someone signed it under the leather strap - William E Vibbard, and theres number 19482711. Now, that wouldnt be strange if i did not live in Europe. My question is, could it be real thing?

I'm wanting to get a scope for my 10/22, and to my understanding, Leupold's are GOAT when it comes to scopes. Now my particular question is, which model is the best and should I get for my 10/22? Naturally .22LR won't need something obscenely powerful, so maybe something from 4x to 10x max, right?

I can't take it guys, this stagnation should be viewed as unacceptable. I am not a proponent for one system over another, but the fact that fucking gun will probably be the second oldest platform used by any nation's standing army as their primary service rifle is insane. I feel like we're being JUST'd here.

What if America had never dropped the bomb and invaded by land? If that would have happened we would have seen casualty numbers spike for the Americans. This operation was named “Downfall”, by the United States military in its planning phase. This operation was pushed heavily by the Army, the American Airforce and Navy had the better strategy of blockading Japan, destroying it with bombs, and starving the population out. If they never surrendered, the thought was that the nation would rip itself apart. Obviously none of these plans were used, but if the United States Army did invade homeland Japan, it would be a bloodbath. If you saw how fiercely the Japanese held rocks in the middle of the Pacific, “for the glory of the empire”, what lengths do you think they would go to. to stop a invasion of their home island? These people make islamic extremist look like girl scouts, their god was the emperor and they would stop at nothing to protect his lands.

>>33808562
If the generals had been smart ,they would have used the same strategies that worked so well on Iwo Jima. They would try to maximize American casualties, even if it meant their death. Every Japanese citizen would be called on to fight the invaders. We would see little girls and old men with knives, if no guns were available. Banzai charging American troops. This would dishearten American resolve, but not enough to make them give up the fight. Americans would be forced to fight with extreme prejudice because they would not know who was a combatant and who wasn't, due to the nature of the invasion. We would see guerrilla tactics, traps, child suicide bombers, the worst parts of war would be ripped out of the darkness and into the front of the American troops. The Japanese would fight valiantly. Their lack of resources and manpower would be their demise, as America and Australia would simply overpower them in the end. As demonstrated, America could take even the most well fortified and defended positions from the Japanese. This would be no different in that regard, but the casualty numbers would significantly have multiplied.

The dolos gen 2 quick detach barrel system allows users quickly change out calibers without the need of a torque wrench and vice clamp. It also allows for users to make every compact rifles for transportation or carry. The gen 2 system now requires an affirmative click at a button and not just a twist and turn.
The dolos gen 2 system works with any standard barrel and gas system and uses a yhm thread mount.

what benefits does this have over just swapping the whole upper?

Because if I am changing the barrel I am either


a) switching caliber

or

b) putting on a longer/shorter barrel.
So,either way I will want to also change out the optic/adjust the optic.... Which could just be done by having a ready-to-go upper for that particular barrel?
