Obligatory Bap Rap
So /k/, I own shotguns and handguns but no rifles yet. I was thinking about a Savage Axis in .308 but then I thought "What would my grandpappy do." How much would I be looking to spend for a Springfield 1903 or M1 Garand or worst case an M1A1 Carbine? And what is a good place to get them from considering Bud's doesn't have any.
>>35004417
around 700-1300 depending on what deals you find
>>35004425
Woo baby that's a pretty penny.
Everything goes through a cycle: First it's the new hotness and expensive, then it's common and moderately-priced, then it's obsolete junk and cheap, and finally it becomes a "classic" antique and starts getting expensive again. I remember when you could get good-condition Apple IIs for $25 at thrift stores and Atari 2600 carts for ten cents each at flea markets. Now you have to fight collectors for the privilege of paying eBay prices for them. Such is life.
Milsurp has now passed into the classic antique phase. Enjoy the last few examples of relatively cheap milsurp guns - Spanish Mausers, Polish Makarovs, Romanian Tokarevs - while they last, because they won't last long at all. Once they're gone, the days of cheap milsurp guns will be gone with them, and won't ever be coming back.

How do i stop these dudes from going at each other?
I had two corporals nearly get into a fight yesterday because one is a faggot and the other is a delinquent cunt.
What do?
>>35004412
>How do i stop these dudes from going at each other?
Unite them against a common enemy.
give a semi responsible one special privileges, he will be motivated to keep it and the others will be motivated to stomp his head in, thus they will not have time for shenanigans
>>35004456
Problem is that these assholes are so petty about their rank that they won't even take advice from a fellow corporal because "we're the same rank so he can't order me around", even though i take orders from other sergeants on the reg
They're just really really petty and touchy, anything and everything makes them upset

I'm in the national guard 11b.
I got the opportunity to try out for a nearby scout unit. The indoc is soon and I don't really know much about what it takes to be in the unit.
Any scout/snipers here who have experience with that kind of stuff?

Been thinking about joining for awhile, signing on as a navy corpsman. Wanting the military lifestyle, I need it. GI bill is pretty damn sweet too.
What should I expect? Any other navy corpsmen here?

Can't please everybody. People just won't accept that the current market value for Russian plums is somewhere around $55. You see them for $65 and people just scramble for them.

For me, it's the Sig Sauer p238.

Basically this, but with the bluing worn off from use.
One of these.
Is there any kind of defense system, theoretical or real, that could prevent the deaths of at least 75% of the inhabitants of Seoul in case of a NK-US war?
Why the fuck would we want to save 75% of a population that banned porn, put their children under crushing educational hours tantamount to slavery, has no gun freedom, free speech, and behaves in a manner little better than the Chink cockroaches a few hundred miles away?
Cause if it's about maintaining our strategic bases in the nation, we can do that without a bunch of fucking annoying parasitic dog-eaters whining every waking moment.
Fuck I hate it here.

If you want a Mosin, get a Mosin. Still one of the cheapest options and the only thing other than a Spanish Mauser that you'll be able to reliably get a decent one of for under $300.
So China and India are already at it, trying to breed improved humans (judging by India's self hate I imagine a lot of blonde/blue eyes being produced). http://businessworld.in/article/China-The-Surging-Dragon-Triggering-A-Race-For-Gene-Editing-Predominance/17-08-2017-124254/
What would /k/ look for in a soldier breeding program? Just a bunch of endurance runners? Also personality traits can be associated with genes.

Quality comprehensive training based of actual combat experience and the advice of good NCOs.

selective breeding program is lame
just start straight up genetic engineering super soldiers already

Why doesn't the US Army just buy off the shelf vehicles like the CV90?
I understand if they want to design a MBT.
But wouldnt it be so much easier to just buy support vehicles that are already developed.
Just to get a decent APC and IFV in service.
They did it with the mraps!
Not invented here and the committees that order new stuff usually add a bunch of specific, nit-picky requirements that no COTS product can meet.
Also, I'd rather have Namers. Those things shrug off Kornets.
>>35002195
That's stupid, how are they supposed to inflate budgets by doing that?
They did trials during the GCV alternatives analysis, they found that the Namer provided amazing protection, but was extremely heavy. The CV90 couldn't carry the required number of soldiers, but could engage any threat short of an MBT. We should have just bought Namers, but added a 30 or 40mm Bushmaster since they're manufactured partly in the US.
