Instead of saying "which is better", we should ask "In which situation is one better in".

In Iraq, thermals were shitty when the sun was setting or after it set, as thermals would show items such as metal being body temp hot as opposed to our 14D.

However, in sand storms, thermals were better for viewing at larger distances, as the IR in our 14D were blocked out with the dust in the air, hence we couldn't see shit. Situation calls for different pieces of equipment, and unless you have the money to buy both, one should themselves which situation would they use said item the most in.

Were you in a tank?

Nothing wrong with it. I have a 700 in 30-06 with iron sights. I don't use them since I mounted a scope, but there's nothing wrong with using the sights.

Honestly, for the vast majority of gun owners/hunters, scopes aren't necessary, and this whole idea that not having one is bad is just a marketing gimmick used to convince you that you need a scope.

I want some HK/HK-clone shit. Assuming I could only get 1 of these, which would the best use of my money or the most fun to use?

>P30L LEM trigger
>USP 45 Tactical
>Mark 23
>PTR 91
>Zenith Z5-RS SBR'd

I'd probably also want to suppress it if it's suppressor-ready and the HPA passes for home defense use.

You're going to get a better answer on R*ddit.com/r/canadianforces and it's Weekly Recruitment Thread.

Depends what kind of person you are. There are two kind of people who make it through the shit show. Overachievers and people who hate losing. There's more to it then that but that's a good start.

What else do you want to know

>STEM field bachelor's degree
>high level of fitness
>no eyeglasses, color blindness, depth perception problems, or field of view problems allowed.
>also good if you don't get motion sickness easily.

hooah bullshit for 4 years, still end up flying a logistics airplane. end up quitting after 6 to fly for an airlines.

Lighter, lower recoil for auto fire, flatter trajectory for tit-for-tat cartridge advancement.

I really wish we'd have had this discussion 10 years ago
Would have really put everything into perspective for those of us just now turning 18

Quads confirm.

5.45 is insanely controllable.

t. someone who shot an AK-47 AND an AK-74, AND an AR-15 this afternoon. The 15 and the 47 are controllable compared to the battle rifle shit I usually shoot, but the 74 feels like shooting a fucking .22 or an air rifle compared even to 7.62x39 or .223. It's also stupidly controllable when you bumpfire it.

What do with my brass if I am not a reloader? I've been hoarding it in the hopes of selling it to someone one day.

What's the context here

maybe he doesn't like some little timid girl who tags along for the ride. Why have a wife if you're rich?

The fuck does this have to do with a divorce?

They make both of those things
They also make paint

After the first shot because I leave loaded weapons laying around my home like a responsible adult.

Not because it is my father eating out our fridge

>>33283792
No, because I've quietly cocked it while laying in bed. Racking it loudly in the hallway is just going to give away my position and make me a target; if somebody is in my house, I don't need to give them a warning before I shoot them.

If companies are not using it it doesn't mean it is not possible.

You can build something just as good for a lot cheaper.

Never heard anywhere referred to as that around here.

Also, anyone else bummed as fuck that Craig's gun and tactical closed down?

A bleach dispenser for OP

this is actually really useful for most people on /k/ though

I'll start, a gun that shoots guns, literally giving your enemy a gun

>don't even get the chance to "fight" your enemy
>just die instantly from some mortar or stray bullet you never saw
this has been a pretty common occurence since artillery was invented

>How do people come out sane from this?
Many of them don't. My theory is that most of your hardcore grunts that experienced the bulk of fighting during WWII, are long dead. The ones we have left now are mostly support personal, albeit a few outliers. There were hundreds of thousands of mental cases after WWII, many of them being swept under the rug of history, our misguided perceptions of WWI being driven by Hollywood movies and documentaries that portray a complete falsehood of what really took place. Many actual combat vets of that era died young from Drinking, suicide, or ended in up mental hospitals; but that goes against the grain of what we've been indoctrinated to believe about the Greatest Generation. My grandfather who I never met killed himself in the 1960s and was a veteran of WWII. These types of statistics are an extremely taboo part of our history and culture, and rarely get any dialogue because it makes for shit propaganda

>>33272555
You're probably right. My great uncle landed on omaha beach and saw some hardcore shit. He never spoke about it except once, before I left for Afghanistan. He gave me a hug afterwards (the only time he ever hugged me) and he died when I was overseas. No one was ever really close with him except my grandfather (who fought in korea) and my family has no idea that he ever told me anything about his time in the army because he kept it so quiet around them as well.

I mean in terms of combat casualties, the Russians lost catastrophically all the way to Berlin.
