Hi /k/, what else would you recommend for my nonfiction collection?
As you can see I am particularly interested in the history of covert crimes of state, the so called 'deep state' as Peter Dale Scott has called it, the modern day dirty wars conducted from afar with drones, and a bit of classical history
Xenophons Persian Expedition is in my to read pile, and I am thinking of getting Bob Parrys Lost History

Not exactly what you're asking for, but here's some suggestions for non-fiction /k/ books:
Reality (or claimed to be):
Dear Mom: A sniper's Vietnam - Good
Chickenhawk (slick pilot) - Very good & sad
Making a killing (awesome PMC adventures) - Extremely recommended
Escape from Baghdad (PMC adventures the sequel) - Decent, not special
A long way gone (child soldierin') - Decent
The forgotten soldier - Timeless operator classic, must read
Storm of steel - Timeless operator classic, must read
SOG (americans owning & getting owned) - Educational
Acceptable loss (more Vietnam LRRP & Blue Apaches) - Good
Shake hands with the devil (UN ROE suck balls) - Educational
On war - Educational but overhyped
War is a racket - Interesting
The art of war - Classic, but mostly blatantly obvious
>>
We Were Soldiers Once, And Young - Joe Galloway and Lt Colonel Hal Moore
The Killing Zone - Frederick Downs
Grunts: Inside the American Infantry Combat Experience, World War II Through Iraq - John C. McManus
>>
>>33113744
On Combat and The Gift of Fear are both good.
Shadow Warriors by Mir Bahmanyar is a history of the Rangers which is interesting but somewhat colored by the author being one. Still a good overview.
If you like medieval history then I suggest Angels in Iron by Nicholas C. Prata. It is a fairly good history of the siege of Malta.
Why doesn't a company just remake the Luger? Wouldn't people buy it?
It would be like $400 or something retail right?

Too complex to manufacture and make a profit.
Modern guns such a Glock and other use polymers and stamped parts.
I suppose if there was an efficient way to make them, they'd turn a profit.

I dunno about a luger, but I'd kill for a toggle lock rifle like a pederson.
>>
>>33111754
Reproductions of a luger would cost more than an actual luger, with the added detraction of not being a piece of history.

What do the U.S. military contractors have in store to offer President Trump? Im under the impression he wants to update our military. What do you think is in store for our troops as far as small arms, armor, transportation, etc. or maybe you think it will be more of the same with no real noticeable change?
I don't see pic related happening

Well, the US should totally abandon all transport helicopters/planes
They are a huge pointless cost. Rapid transport of light forces is irrelevant in a real war.
Build hundreds of fast nuclear powered cargo ships instead.

It depends how they are made and how they are used.
Personally, I don't like them. And that's coming from a Kubotan-fag.

Hi /k/,
I bought pic related for a decent price a few months back. I'm more of an AK and rifle guy and tend to think of pistols as last ditch/bump in the night pieces. Are these worth a fuck? All opinions appreciated. I'm not sentimental.

You have to be over 18 to buy those on air strip one so probably not.

We have them in Northern Ireland. I have been to two in England, both were part of larger country shows.
They attract the same level of lunatic that attend gun shows in America, but are only slightly less fat.

I wasn't aware that the Czechoslovakians could time travel from 1970 back to the early 1940s.
And this improvised armored vehicle isn't even a tank, it was built on a East German car frame and the turret and its gun are fake.
