How bad could Falljuah have been if the Iraqi's had even more time, supplies, and morale to prepare.

That is Saddam wanted to turn it into a "modern day stalingrad", with miles of trench and obstacle complexes, underground tunnels with provisions and ammunition, a fanatical local populace, and a gun behind every window.

Saddam was long gone by the time Fallujah started.

More dead Americans and civilians, more airstrikes and very little of the city left after

this but with air support.

Not really, the first battle of Grozny occurred at a low point of Russian capability. With chaotic political and military leadership, little to no planning, and coordination between units, let alone services, next to non-existent. It is hard to imagine the US armed forces of 2003+ making such mistakes.

As it was, the USA had both a first and second battle for Fallujah. The first making it clear that more resources were required to pacify by force (after negotiated settlements failed), and the second being successful after extensive preparation.

>Russian military equipment is being put to a freezing test, the country’s defense ministry has said, as the cutting-edge vehicles are heading for the Arctic.
>Over the next few weeks, the snow- and swamp-going vehicles will go through a very difficult route from the village of Tiksi in the remote Russian Republic of Yakutia (about 5,000km from Moscow) to Kotelny Island.
>They will travel through snow and ice on the Laptev Sea, a marginal sea in the Arctic, covering about 2,000km.

Eurofag here, so in a couple of months I'll be moving to SF for a job, never had a gun before and thinking of getting some heat for protection. How's California's gun laws for H1B's also I'm looking for a cheap reliable piece, any advice? Thanks in advance.

Curiosity sake, what sort of position are you taking?

What does it pay?

You dodged a bullet with housing. My brother was lucky to be paying over 2000/mo for a single bedroom. It was a rent controlled building 15 minutes from Cupertino.

I am new to reloading and just got to test fire my reloads for the first time. I was testing to make sure I wasn't retarded and they were actually safe (they seem to have been) so now I am gonna start working up loads.

However, I did notice something strange. I have a Ruger precision rifle and when I was closing the bolt on my reloads I noticed it seemed a bit sticky when I was locking the bolt, but fine when I was unlocking it. This to me implies that maybe I was seating my bullets out too far? When I'm seating them (rcbs seating die if that matters) and I measure them, they seat so the finished cartridges are ±.008 inches from 2.800 which I think is a fairly large variance. One other possibility is that it might be my case length being inconsistent? I haven't check those cases I fired yet cause I'm at work but that was my next course of action.

Thoughts?

Pic unrelated.

Following the die setup instuctions? Might not be fully pushing the shoulder back or sizing the neck or body all the way.
Make sure your dies are locked tight and setup when seating as well. Rotating the round 1/4 turn and running it back into the seating die also helps make it more even.

Easy check: measure COAL fresh off the press. Load a round into chamber. Eject round, remeasure COAL. Did it change? Can you see the groove marks on the bullet?
If yes to either, shorten your COAL by a few thou and try again with a fresh cartridge.

Samefag here, with different idea: do you measure and trim your cases?

Why aren't bullpups popular commercially?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>33052899
Poor controls, uncomfortable and pretty much just ugly. That being said they're pretty common commercially.
>>
>>33052911
They're also usually more expensive and don't have the same level of aftermarket support, if they are sold commercially at all.
>>
>>33052899
well considering they all start at over 1k and theres hundreds of other cooler guns that start at or lower than 1k, the bullcuck never stood a chance.

is this expensive motherfucker worth it? I plan on putting it on my Mossberg for home defense.

Red dots are retarded on pump shotguns and eotech are doubly retarded since they're so large, heavy, and nobody takes them seriously since they have that thermal drift issue.

Hello /k/omrades what is worth buying right now a mini 14 or a vz2008?
7 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Avoid Century like the Plague, so Mini-14.

I don't understand why you're comparing them though. A Mini-14 is way more expensive than a piece of shit VZ2008.
>>
>>33052761
What's wrong with the vz2008?
>>
>>33053108
I just told you, it's made by Century. Century does not give a shit about the quality of their firearms. Nine times out of ten you'll get a piece of shit that can barely shoot straight or hold zero. It'll probably have sloppy craftsmanship, sharp metal edges that they were too lazy to file down, and finishes so inconsistent that turning the rifle in the sun makes it look like a Rorschach test.

Every now and then you get a decent gun but even at their best, that's all Century is. Decent.

They're popular because they're one of the biggest importers of slavshit in the US. Walmart is also probably the biggest seller of tires in the US, that doesn't mean I'd trust them to build me a car.

Is there any bulletproof modern crusader armor out there? Could it be done /k/?(pic related)

Hell no

>>33052113

Technically possible, but it would be heavy and hot like a bomb suit, so unless you have a mechanical steed to carry that shit, you're still SOL if you want to fight Neo-Saracens in authentic garb, while the helmets in general really mess with your ability to aim regardless if they're bulletproof or not.

Yea, fucking don't.

Live in mass, you'd be better off fedexing it to yourself.

Technically it should be legal if each is locked in a hard container with no ammo, but if you get pulled over for whatever reason the cops might fuck you and the commie prosecutors will definitely fuck you.

>>33051815
protected by FOPA, but staties and local cops in MA will give you a hard time and may even try to arrest you if they stop you. Otherwise you just declare the firearms just like you would at any other airport.

I would advise you to fly out of Manchester if you could though, I'm local in that area and it's all around a better airport.
