Kalashnikov AK 47 Or the Sturmgewehr 44 and why?

>>34966083
>StG 44 for aesthetics and coolness
>AK 47 for reliability
Thoughts on this bae?

Hey /k/ I'm trying to buy my first gun and I'm looking for suggestions as to what I should get. Also any opinions about the Five-Seven?
uhhhh buy cz
>>34965871
It's an extremely expensive, extremely cheap feeling gun with a bad trigger chambered in an uncommon and expensive caliber with a niche purpose.
It's also ugly as fuck.
Get a Glock 19, a CZ75, CZp07, M&P 9, XD9, beretta M9/92FS instead.
>>34965871
>Five-Seven
It's a meme gun that shoots an expensive meme caliber. Still cool though.

Can someone ID this weapon for me? The one on the top of tractor. It looks like some sort of gun, but I don't know what kind.

Russian ZU-23 anti aircraft gun.

I've played all of the Splinter Cell games, chaos theory being my favorite. I also play battlefield 2 special forces sometimes because there are night maps with night vision. List all the games in this thread that have a night vision mode, that is similar to gen III night vision goggles.

What information could you guys give me to prepare for Ranger school?
Should I even attempt to G2 the course?
Semi related question, why are non combat arms allowed to participate? Doesn't it cost money to send them there and feed/supply them while there? It's not like a mechanic with a ranger tab is going to mechanic better.
For that matter why do any of the schools allow fields other than their own to participate? Why does air assault exist at all?

>For that matter why do any of the schools allow fields other than their own to participate
I recently asked this same question to our battalion S3 and he told me it's to separate the great soldiers from the okay ones. Is a mechanic with a Ranger tab going to up the combat readiness of the other mechanics? No, but they sure as fuck will listen to him because he went out of his way to get that tab. 1 person can influence 10 and make the shop better.
>Why does air assault exist at all?
This one I agree with because Pathfinder is 10x better and more applicable when thinking in terms of analog Army. We have the capability of launching a missile from the US to Russia with precision within an inch. Air Assault is just one of those schools to reward soldiers who try hard on PT.
Can flintlocks or antique firearms be traced?
>>34965287
No.
>>34965303
Source?
>>34965319
Black powder guns don't even need a 4473. There's nothing to trace, AFAIK.
Beretta made them sometime ago and now they are literally impossible to find. Super badass handgun that has a stock and a grip. Any ideas on where to look?
>>34965239
Got a few from South America a while back, Rebels have a shit tonne for some reason, or atleast enough to where I could buy some.
They're sitting in a storage locker until I work out if they're legal, meet bans, yadda yadda, so for the time being until I work it out the advice I can give is south of the border
>>34965262
How do they feel when you shoot them? Are they realistically concealable?
I believe there are less than a dozen on the NFA registry that can be transferred or purchased legally. I saw one come up for sale at auction and it went for $62,000.
As the previous poster said, for whatever reason South America got a shitton of them. I'm not positive but I believe Brazil(or another country, can't remember) ordered several thousand of them as sidearm for their special forces, but the project was cancelled and over the years they have made their way into the hands of criminals and rebel forces.
Tangentially related to /k/, but part of military culture. I thought it could make for an interesting discussion.
Medals of Honor. Anyone know anyone who's gotten one? I'm sure it's a boost to one's career. It's tradition for Marines of any rank to salute any Marine wearing the medal, you know.
Anyone know anyone who obtained any other high-end medals? Silver Star? Bronze Star?
>>34965222

grandfather got silver and bronze stars in WWII.
Was shot down in a B-17 and saved some of his crewmates lives even though his leg was mostly blown off. Leg got partially fixed in rehab, but he couldn't really walk too well for the rest of his life.
Didn't really ever talk about it; only reason I know is because of news clippings my dad showed me.
>>34965273
Very cool.
Anyone like a more classic "m4" look to their ar15? Don't mind the trigger guard. Getting a regular one soon. Also AR/ weapon collection thread

You should make the virgin be the gray man instead of a fag, he's supposed to be relatable in order to instill insecurities in betas. Literally no one here has a butterfly knife.

Do this OP
What's gun training like? Is it required to get a CC? And what do they check when doing backgrounds?
I'm kind of a sperg, so I'm worried that might get in the way of owning a gun. It's definitely caused some trouble with people in the past.
Depends on where you're from, but in most states your CHL/LTC course will be all of the "gun training" you'll need. Unless being an autist got you in legal trouble or youve had a judge deem you mentally unfit, idk what else could hurt you in the background check
>>34964950
>Depends on where you're from
PNW.
>Unless being an autist got you in legal trouble or youve had a judge deem you mentally unfit
Just shit in school (from the teachers). Nothing else. The experiences from then still ruins my day from time-to-time.
>idk what else could hurt you in the background check
I doubt there is, in my case. But still.
I just don't know anything about getting a gun.
>>34964980
You should be fine. Look online for a CHL course that has loaner guns available for rent/loan, do the paperwork and get your fingerprints and mail it in. If you're approved for that, you'll have zero problems buying a gun.
