I found it weird Crye opted for plastic buckles on the AVS system.

Here's a pic. I already took the gloves out. Shit fits but doesn't really fold and go into the pouch symmetrically.

Hey /k/, what would you do if a Xenomorph was in your house. You didn't know where, but you sensed it. How would you handle a spoopy Xenomorph menace?

Why the FUCK do even real soldiers fall for this meme?
It's not like anyone will give you a blood transfusion in the field, and if you're handled in the trauma center, they have to give you a blood type test anyway before transfusion, that's the rules, nobody will give a fuck about what's written or what faggy patch you have on your outfit.
Blood transfusions in the field are real you stupid fuck, join the military and find out you silly little school boy bitch

my colonel has one of those patches
i think they´re pretty practical for the same reasons we put penicillin allergy on dog tags
Just curious since I have about 500 bucks and they're tempting me.
No, just accept it for what it is and enjoy it. A plane Jane GI RIA is going to be pretty damn close to what old 1911s were back then. They make great beaters.
>>33215049
don't do it. drop at least $1500
>>33215049
I have a Springfield that cost around there. It works, it not the best 500$ gun IMO but if you're hell bent on a 1911 go for it.

Is "breaking in" a rifle a meme? Should I use higher quality ammo if I'm going to break it in?

>Is "breaking in" a rifle a meme?
According to AI, it's a meme and just reduces your barrel life. I trust Accuracy International, especially since they have plenty of motive to shill breaking in a barrel (less barrel life = more barrels sold = more profits)

How do modern bunker busters work?
Could they be defeated with a building sized equivalent of spaced armor and ERA? Or with a similarly huge version of Iron Curtain?
Or are SAMs, CIWS' and entire mountains the only way to defend against them once launched?
>>33212880
if you really care about it you should clean your bore after every shot for a few mags on a new rifle. the heat of firing opens up micro pores that fill with carbon and byproducts of firing, if you clean it every shot you fill those pores up with copper which is slightly better.
Was anything he said credible?
>>33210738
20-30% of his stories were probably real, the rest was propaganda.
I believe he punched that Ventura Cuck out cold though.
>>33210738
Im pretty sure his bitch scream when he died was credible.

Wasn't he an original frogman? Also didn't he win the defamation lawsuit

Is backpacking a good way to strengthen my lower half for the military? I figure if I throw in some pushups and situps in the morning and at night, walking up and down the Appalachian Trail with a 40lb pack is a decent way to make sure my hip flexors and knees are ready for rucking and shit without actually rucking, like everyone says not to.
Does it matter that I have a really weak sense of smell as long as I don't try to be a super spooky operator?
>>33208330
Smell isn't tested at MEPS or any PHA. So as long as it's not documented and you don't tell anyone about it you'll be fine. It probably won't even affect most jobs, but it might be a safety concern if you work around fumes or anything volatile.

Can't find the old thread, dunno how to properly start the next one, so in the meanwhile you get this.
----------
NTB (Norwegian news agency) reports today that USAF have bombed AQ in Yemen. At least 8 enemies reported KIA.
Here's the one that puzzles me. In Iraq today, PKK forces have clashed with kurdish security forces in the northwest. 1 dead, 7 wounded. Say what? The sources here are those security forced, according to NTB.
Finally, again according to NTB, Iraqi forces claim to have found an ISIS media production center in western Mosul.
who cares
are you going to go kill the bad guys?
Why are VICE the only ones doing decent reports from the ground involving western reporters
>>33183369
Because they have good local branches? Yes, more agencies like that would be nice. But things could be worse. Remember the 'embedded' American news reports back when the Iraq war was still young? 'Oh what a glorious thing it is to be allowed to race over the desert in an American tank' reporting has to be one of the great lows of international news work.

How does /k/ feel about women in combat?
Do women have the potential to be good soldiers?

No such thing.

No.
I don't give a shit what MMA fighter or weightlifter the Left trots around like they're somehow the standard. Physical fitness standards mean jack shit, honestly, even ignoring the fact that PT standards for women are must easier.
Your average woman will NEVER be able to do the shit a man can do. She cannot piss and shit in a fucking jar while in a transport chasing down a routing enemy. She cannot vault an 8 ft fence with 40 lbs of gear on her back unassisted. She cannot carry a 190 lb comrade, again with kit, through a fucking firefight unassisted. And if she ever gets into a situation where it is hand-to-hand combat, I don't give a shit if the guy about to fight her is a 5'6" Chinese manlet: 9 times out of 10, he will fucking destroy her.
It's fucking biology. Men are meant for physical labor and combat. Women are made for homekeeping. There are things women do better than men, combat is not fucking one of them.
I read a study once showing how even women in non-infantry combat roles aren't as good. There are very few female fighter pilots because their reflexes aren't as fast.
You can hold up pictures of Ronda Rousey all day and act like that's what the average woman who joins the military looks like but you and I both know you're full of shit. The average woman who joins the military is just that: an average woman. And an average woman will ALWAYS be more of a liability than an asset to any fireteam she's assigned to.
Putting other people's lives at risk, your own fucking countrymen for Christ's sake, just so you can satisfy your infantile "teehee gurl power!" fantasy and give your father the son he never had is selfish, asinine, and ridiculous.
All of this politically correct bullshit about women in combat roles, trannies and fags, and SJW-culture in regards to being mean to recruits and shit will come to an end the day the United States gets in an actual shooting war with something that's halfway competent.
