I'm not necessarily a conspiracy theorist but seriously how the hell do you shoot yourself with one of these things? I mean IIRC the barrel on a Remington Model 11 is 28 inches, which is manageable, but once you add that fuckheug flash hider at the end then it looks pretty impossible. fyi I did this experiment with a tape measure, not an actual gun (I don't even own any full sized guns yet anyway, just pistols and carbines) but 34 inches (28 inches, add 6 for the space between the barrel and the trigger) is doable for an an hero, but you'd have to touch the trigger with the very tip of your index finger, however once you add that flash hider and add any length to the barrel, it becomes impossible

Should I join the Navy? Allow me to explain my situation.

My family is pure-blood American. We have documentation showing that my family has been here since at least the 1730s. We also have a very long naval tradition, and this is all on my father's side. One of my ancestors was a privateer during the Revolution, another served aboard the USS Constitution as a petty officer, another served aboard a commerce raider in the Civil War, another was supposedly present at the Battle of Manila Bay (no proof of this though). My great-grandfather served in the Navy in WWI, and my grandfather fought the Japs across the Pacific on a destroyer in WWII. My father served aboard a submarine in the 80s.

Now to my mother's side. My mother's side is German. Again, basically pure-blood. She's descended from Prussian royalty, and they also have a very long naval tradition. They were very aristocratic, real flag officer types. My mother is actually the granddaughter of a WWII U-boat captain.

Naturally, I'm expected to become a naval officer. I graduate this year (yes, I'm 18) and my father is really nagging me to make a decision on whether to do NROTC or just enlist (although obviously they want me to be an officer).

How do I tell him that I'm just not that interested? I mean I love the water, but if I did anything nautical related I'd rather just do the merchant service, desu. I'm either going to attend Purdue University or the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But I just don't feel any passion for the Navy. As a kid, I dreamed of the U-boat battles in the Atlantic, Jutland, the big-gun battles between Russia and Japan before the First World War.

But that stuff just isn't around anymore. These days it's like computers are the stars, not the men manning them.

I'm the third son, so there isn't a ton of pressure on me, but I still don't want to disgrace my family's legacy. Wat do

Plastic tips and bonded jackets are marketing gimmicks. Cup and core bullets of high sectional density at moderate velocities perform beautifully, just as they have for years.

Do the same laws as with cap and ball/flintlock firearms apply to a martini-henry. It fires a black powder cartridge so I'm wondering if the laws about it as a firearm are more about it firing black powder or if its about the action. I really wanna buy one so I really just want to know if I have to ship it to am FFL

>Adding these assets would allow frontline units to maneuver independently even in the face of air attack, a key part of the emerging Multi-Domain Battle doctrine. “Our ability to defeat air and missile defense threats would be central to that Multi-Domain Battle,” said Maj. Gen. Brian McKiernan, commander of the Army Fires Center at Fort Sill, which oversees both offensive artillery and air and missile defense.

>There’s a real sense of urgency, said Col. Greg Brady, head of the Fires Division on the Army staff. “Within 12 months we have got to get capability back,”said Brady, speaking along with McKiernan at a recent Association of the US Army conference. “The No. 1 priority for capacity, the shortfall for the Army, is on air and missile defense.”

>That’s particularly true in SHORAD, which is a distinctly different form of air and missile defense, and the one where the US is weakest. To combat long-range, high-flying ballistic missiles, the armed services have an array of complementary, overlapping, and extremely expensive systems, from the Ground-Based Interceptors (GBI) defending the US itself, to Terminal High-Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) and the Navy Standard Missile family, to the celebrated Patriot. To protect frontline units from low-flying threats, however, the Army relies almost entirely on Stinger missiles, both the shoulder-fired version made famous in Afghanistan and the Humvee-mounted version called Avenger.

Just wondering who here has fired both the Colt 1917 and the S&W 1917 revolvers in .45ACP. Which is better? Are they comparable? Are they memes?

/k/ i have a legal question. I plan on buying a condor defender plate carrier. When i was looking for the hard armor and soft armor plate inserts, LA Police gear refuses sale to civs. Yet AR500 company does not.
What are the legal limitations on plates?

Why are modern military dress/service uniforms in Western countries so shit? Who the fuck thought blue was a good primary color for a branch whose primary mission is based on the ground? You know, the ground, that place with all the greens and browns...
