should i trade my full size xd for a glock 43 /k/?
>>33066051
yes
Get a shield instead.
Glocks are boring.
>>33066051
If I only could have 1 pistol it would be the G26. I'd trade your full size for that instead a G43.
Worth it for my first AR? Not interested in building one yet.

Im a senior in high school, and my current GPA is 1.5. Im thinking about enlisting in either army or air force right out of high school. Which one would you recommend, if recommended at all.
>>33065174
>GPA 1.5
How?
Go to a technical school, colleges will take that gpa instead of your highschool one
>>33065174
Airforce guy here. Go airforce unless you want to be treated like shit forever, don't be a cop, don't be maintenance, no you won't make it into prarescue or CCT .
Be a dental hygienist and work out non stop and bang med whores . Or be a load master and travel the world

You really wouldn't want to. It's not a great paying industry.
>Infantry and any other MOS that allows hands on with guns outside the wire
>LEOs
Not a great career field. Most of these people make between 20-40k a year. Even SOF guys or SWAT with hazard pay and all their bonuses are still making a pretty weak pay check.
>Armed Security-CCW plain look security this includes PSC(Private Security contracting)
The number of contractors who actually make big dollars is very slim, and there are more of them in tech fields than anything.
>Armed courier
Minimum wage rent a cop.
>Ranges-Range master
>Fun store-FFL
Minimum wage or just above sales positions.
>Contractors- PMC
Same as before.
>Gun smithing-crafting
9/10 of these people end up working just above minimum wage tuning hunting guns seasonally and bubba'ing stuff.
Gun industry kind of sucks desu anon.

Nigga there are dudes on instagram doing 3 hour soldering iron stipple jobs on glocks for $400+. It's easy as fuck to make a killing off trendy shit in the firearms industry if you can get established

It's part paperwork, part being rushed because my shop is understaffed and overworked, part aggravating bullshit. And the promotion points are sky high. I'm a glorified inspector and parts replacer.
What does /k/ use to simulate the weight of your rifle when you go jogging?

I understand why The Marine corps would procure a weapon like this to supplement the m249 in an autorifleman's role.
>Piston driven lessens heat in the chamber for longer sustained fire
>I would guess the piston would also be better suited for amphibious OPs than a DI system.
But how would this weapon stack up as the Marine Corps standard rifle for every Marine? replacing both the m16a4 and m4.
/k/'s thoughts?
>>33063759
as a piston AR in semi-auto (as it fires from a closed bolt in that fire mode), and worse in the automatic portion, except for sustained fire.
>>33063759
Purely ancidotal evidence here, but I've talked to a few guys that used them while assisting an AITB class was that they're a bit heavier and harder to maneuver than the A4, but not significantly so. The three round burst gets BTFO by full auto, and performed a bit better than the M4 in that regard, granted the three guys I talked to (ancedote as I said), had zero prior experence with the IAR, M4 and didn't use the 249, so take that for what it's worth. Personally, I wouldn't mind the weight because I hike well and my MOS won't mandate me on patrol unless I volunteer. But somebody needs to keep comms up.
>>33063759
I think it would be great, but as always, the benefit would not be large enough to justify re-equipping every soldier. The grunts would love it, but the guys paying the bills (congress) would not allow it.
What are your opinions/preferences on this
I always have found bullpup rifles to be fascinating, even if the majority of them are very poorly executed
They both have their merits but I like a bullpup rifle because they're different.
That said I only own conventional rifles because they aren't as cost prohibitive
>>33063702
>TAR-21
This is my truck gun. If your only argument is "muh dying for Israel" then you're using a logical fallacy you're a flyover bubba.
>>33063737
I'm in between, but a tar-21 like that is gorgeous
What're your favorite nicknames for weapons? We used to call this the Somali Saw because of BHD.
One, don't post thumbnails
Two, you're retarded
Three, Ma Deuce is really the only acceptable nickname for a firearm
>>33063672
I like the fact that the IRA gave the AR-18 the name 'Widowmaker'.

The DOD gets $500 billion a year yet hasn't come up with a successful new idea in like 50 years
Every time they roll out something new it's either
A) A new edition of something they already had
B) Some other country's idea
C) CIA's idea
And when there actually is a new idea the the USMC's always the first to adopt it
despite having the least money and manpower
>pic related
>took them 4 years to copy a truck
>built 30 years ago
>by Africans
Because new ideas mean they have to spend that money and not go directly into their own accounts
And we've also kind of plateaued lately. We aren't in war and there isn't a need for military hardware innovation, yet.
And a lot of times those new ideas are new and cool but they don't justify the additional cost over the existing thing.

What does /k/ think? Good deal, bad deal? Seems a bit steep, but.....

Steep. Built mine for $800 w/o glass. Typical Armslist gouger. Offer $600 and some old scuba gear.
Can i use scrubbin bubbles to clean nugget?
If it can clean your dishes it can clean your guns.
Dunno why people get so anal over the simple act of removing dirt and carbon from something.

Its for a customer, didnt want to fuck it up. Sorry
>>33062602
Please do.
Nuggets are hardy machines and gladly accept heavy duty cleaners.

Just saw John wick 2, thoughts?
>>33062455
What is that, an assassin for ants?
Am I the only one who saw the specific move he did when he checked the chamber on his 1911? Never seen anyone do that before.
Did John Wick get shorter?
