Timothy McVeigh.
John Wick AND Major Schaefer!? Flawless victory.
team 2 no doubt
As body armor becomes more common, especially among non-state actors, will the military have to upgun to battle rifles?
We'll do what we've always done. Shoot the fucker until it stops moving.
>>33005199
I'll take 1 and 4.
>>33005199
No, in all likelyhood a better round of 5.56 will be developed to counter it. And another and another and so on and so forth.
Guys help, I'm starting to like the F-35. It flies better than I used to think it did and It look new and modern. Pierre Sprey is starting to look like a senile hasbeen more and more every second.
How am I supposed to shitpost about the F-35 on /k/ when I think like this? Somebody change my mind.

>official price tag of more than $1 trillion.
And it has only gone up. It is a good jet that we don't need at all.
WHY THE FUCK DO WE NEED VTOL.
>we can put our multi million dollar jet on the front line so it can be hit by a sheepfucker with an rpg while it slowly rises off the pad.

Meme tank or actually pretty good?
I don't think its ever seen combat and I've never seen reliability stats. It looks cool, though.
Nobody know.

stats are totally generic modern mbt
So been wondering what kind of stuff the military /k/rauts bought with their first salary , always been a thing to ask other buds in the military what was the first thing they bought with their first military salary.
So to start
Officer Cadet
€892,53
And I bought a "Futanari Idol air Pillow" plus spent some more euros on it and got the insert air extra which feels preety good to be honest ended up paying 65.12 since 20 was for the shipping. So what did you guys buy?
>1€
>>33004085
Looks tasty as fuck lad, althought I am always more for a expresso yet I don't mind drinking some coffee with milk if that is what that thing is.
>the first thing people bought with military salary
A used F-150/Dodge Charger
38 $15-each shots of well whiskey at a strip club
The first part of an obnoxious chest piece or shoulder sleeve tattoo that will be abandoned and covered over with something else in three years when you get a fiancé
12 cases of NOS or equivalent energy drink
A sensual evening with a lady of the night and a lifetime of Valtrex for the herpes sores that follow
Is there a more Gunz series of movies than this right here?
Five of them and a limited run TV series and the only gun error I've found in any of them is someone called a magazine a clip
I saw the movie three days ago. Great laughs were had. Gotta root for Burt and Heather.
funny how they used all semi-auto guns because it was cheaper, but it ended up making it more realistic
there is one big error
the "elephant gun" is actually an 8ga or 10ga shotgun
>>33003537
The shells he loads into it are actually 8 gauge brass case slugs. Not sure it's an error
Why is Russia always behind the curve when it comes to aviation?
Why are they incapable of making a simple curved tube like the US, UK, South Korea, Japan and China are capable of doing?
They are untermensch
Their aircraft are more than sufficient for their purpose and for sale to lesser operators.
War is a system of systems. Concentrating on one is childish and stupid. Know context instead.
>>33002763
You're right.
In that case, still relying on GCI for air control is antiquated and obsolete and shows that they are not serious about using the VVS offensively or to be a match for anything that isn't a third world power. The inability to produce low RCS airframes is merely a side-effect of a poorly maintained, equipped and trained air force.
Are bulletproof masks a meme, like if you got shot with one on would it break every bone in your face or just shatter and kill you? I dont want to be a vigilante or anything i was just curious.

I just vomited a bit.
>>33002228
I think those are more for shrapnel and maybe some small blunt force stuff, think of someone protester throwing a rock at your face an so on.
Any projectile unless you mean shit like a 22 would have enough force to either take a couple of teeth / break our jaw or literally kill you from cranial trauma if they don't penetrate it to begin with.
Would a flamethrower work on rioters?
Depends on what you want to do with your rioters.
Because if there's napalm in that shit it would light them on fucking fire.
>>32998702
It will only make them stronger.
Could you really wake up in the morning and look in the mirror knowing you burned a shitload of people to death? Could you really fall asleep at night, when you close your eyes and picture those burning faces? Potentially their kids, who were innocent bystanders their moronic parents dragged out of the house?
I don't think I could do it man. Imagine never forgetting the smell of human flesh at the hands of you.
So I've been getting into silver lately as investment and hobby but also as part of my shtf preparation. I'm curious to know if federal reserve notes will still be in any way viable as currency or if they'll be like in fallout where a wad of hundreds is only worth five or six caps. I'm interested in hearing what you guys think about this and if any of you invest in silver I'd love to hear your advice on the subject.
>>32998645
Currency? Ammo and hotsauce.

ITT: We discuss the future of gun design and our wildest dreams of how to make a type of gun great again
I'll start: The Hi Point of the future will be a polymer or stamped steel double stack straight blowback striker fired .380, ripping off the look of an early 20th century pistol so that it isn't so ugly. Improvements in bullet design will make 380 far more viable, and better grip/frame materials and designs will make it shoot like a short recoil gun from today.
polymer, striker fired pistols that are ll glock clones with slight changes in appearance that looks like they were melted and morphed just slightly enough to avoid copyright laws
I look at stens and think, why not make improvements, make em smaller and in .32 or .25, maybe .32 NAA or .30 luger with wood stocks and handgaurds, or could one upscale it to fire things like .30 carbine and accept .30 carbine mags, flash hiders, optics, could be a modular, insanely cheap weapon to make. or even do like they did with Sterlings and full on rifle calibers, or maybe intermediates like .220 Russian, or 8 Kurz, integerally surpressed.
>>32998808
So a Hi Point carbine if they actually cared? If the ATF were dissolved they could make them even cheaper with open bolts and short barrels, and with full auto now an option 380/32 versions would be popular bullet hoses, assuming they were made double stack. I believe they already have shitty rails so the modularity is there.
Special Operations Thread.
>>MACV-SOG
What is the deal with these guys?
What do you think about them?
They're badass, ten SOG teams straight up vanished in the jungle and were never heard from again, and another fourteen teams were entirely killed in action
>>32995942
Hands down the most interesting special operations team from any era, or any country. I have read alot of books on them. Dudes are fucking gods among men.
who the hell are they?
War of the Northern Aggression thread
Why couldn't they stop those savage unionists?
Too much freedom brah
They was a real confederacy and not willed by an iron hand like union whitewashers

Oh, the irony.

Thermals are better and cheaper for the average joe.
Only decent NV will cost you a good car.
>>32994564
Interested in thermals for my AR for hog hunting in the great country of Texas. Anything you'd recommend?
Recording capability would be cool, too.
I'd probably run a combo with a helmet mounted NV for navigation. Maybe one of those cheap-o IR NVs that need a IR light source.
As we are seeing with the Reaper drones, X-47, advancing AI, and the fact that our planes are exceeding the pilots ability to take the g-forces, are we soon going to see a replacement of pilots in the military?
God i hope not
>>32987964
Not until the last pilot becomes too old to do his job.
not until latency isn't a thing anymore, or AI becomes so advanced that it beats humans even in small, cheap hardware
wouldn't be surprised if cargo planes and tankers were automated, though
