Are these good operating/greyman shoes?
>>32844200
No - they're nigger tier - ultimate grey man (what a faggot name) are steel toe western style boots with a slip resistant sole.
>>32844200

They're only good as something else the urban youth will make you hand over when they stick you up.
>>32844200
Only if you wear them with these and a woodland bdu top
Let's say hypothetically two WWII era battleships (In this case let's say Yamato and Musashi) suddenly appeared on the Hudson river and they bought immediately begin to shell Manhattan. How much destruction could they inflict before they're both destroyed, and how long would it take for them to get destroyed, along with what options does the US have to destroy such ships without resorting to nukes?
>>32844077
A lot of destruction.
A lot of options to destroy them.
>>32844077
They'd raze Manhattan
I mean shit, who could react to that shit?
But in the "long term" (i.e. 2 hours) they'd be bombed to non-extistence
Anything could be made viable in a surprise attack
I mean shit, a wooden barge with a bunch of bowmen could kill a lot of people
>>32844091
They could not raze Manhattan. They don't fire fast enough. We're only looking at ~30 salvos of main battery fire from each ship assuming your 2 hour response time figure is close. Further, gutted and ruined buildings near the shore would quickly block their view, preventing more destruction.
So basically,
>1-2 block radius around the shore is totally fucked in 30min-1hour
>then F18's show up and the IJN goes back to the bottom
Pros and cons of joining the Air Force
>>32844068
Pros - You're in the Air Force.
Cons - You're in the Air Force.
Pros
>comfiest branch that can still call itself military
>get paid extra to live in Army quarters kind of comfy
>if you're smart and pick a job with certifications/ something that easily transfers into civilian world(working on planes, etc), very easy resume builder into a good job
Cons
>just like everywhere else, competency is a luxury
>you're still a slave to the govt, like it or not
And if you're really smart, you'll go in as an officer, not just enlist
>>32844068
>pros
>cushy, easy, won't die
>cons
>beauracracy and having to deal the barely coherent grunts and yells of marines that only know how to say "muh chairforce"
If you want to join the military but don't mind doing something boring as fuck just go USAF
What did he actually even do in the Coast Guard? Ever any serious operating?
He trained international units on firearms handling and tactics, also did a few boardings IIRC but mainly did firearms training.

It's like a sword with fabric on the end so you can spin it or extend your reach or whatever. Gimme the deets.

Dark web gun runner jailed for exporting Glocks & Uzi's to UK.
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/dark-web-gunrunner-jailed-exporting-glocks-uzis-uk-1604089
A US man has been sentenced to more than four years in prison after pleading guilty to plotting to export a slew of pistols and machine guns to locations including Ireland and Scotland using an underground marketplace on the so-called Dark Web.
Kansas-based Michael Andrew Ryan, 36, who went by the name GunRunner while online, admitted using an illicit website called Black Market Reloaded to trade illegally in everything from Glocks to Uzis, theDepartment of Justice (DoJ) found.
Ryan admitted to using the hidden services to send guns to locations including Cork, Edinburgh and Australia. The DoJ said many of the products' serial numbers had been "removed, altered or obliterated" and the stash included "hundreds of rounds of ammunition".
In his plea, he admitted to unlawfully exporting or attempting to export Beretta 9 mm pistols, 38 Special revolvers, 22 calibre Uzis, Highpoint .45 calibre pistols, Walther P22s, a number of different Glock models and bullets for each type of gun.
In addition to imposing the lengthy prison sentence of 52 months, US District Judge Daniel Crabtree also ordered Ryan to forfeit all firearms and ammunition seized by police during the investigation.
"With a computer and an internet connection, Ryan hosted an international arms trafficking business on the Dark Web, peddling firearms and ammunition throughout the world," said assistant attorney general Leslie Caldwell when the defendantfirst pleaded guiltyin June 2016.
"Criminals of all stripes take advantage of technological advances to further their crimes and attempt to avoid identification and arrest.
"In this case [...] we were able to shut down dangerous criminal activity and secure the defendant's conviction – but we must remain vigilant to ensure that law enforcement retains the necessary capabilities to keep up with criminals."

Hello /k/, I'm ready to start collecting firearms. I really love historical wooden weapons. I am planning on buying 91/30 Mosin. Any words of warning or other rifles I should look at?
Buy mine.
>>32843378
If you're buying a mosin you need to know what to look for do you don't end up with a shit example. So do a lot of research before hand, or you could save up a little more and buy a Turk Mauser or some shit
You should always check on any milsurp rifle the
>bore
>crown (end of muzzle)
>cracks in stock
>any major rust if not coated in cosmoline
>>32843378
Why are you getting a mosin?
Legit question. If you actually like historically there's nothing wrong with getting one, but the meme that they're the ultimate starting rifle is stale and needs to die.
Seriously consider what gun you actually want most (within reason) before purchasing one. You'll be glad you got the one you wanted right off instead of going for something "cheap" (they're not really anymore) and then having to sell it so that you could get what you actually wanted.
A place to share books, stories, and assorted writefaggotry.
All writing is welcome, even if it's only tangentially related to /k/.
It's been unscientifically proven that a lack of (you)s for writers can lead depression, alcoholism, story abandonment, and an hero.
But it's so easy to make a difference in a writer's life. Just one (you) a day can make the difference between a happy writer and a writer on permanent hiatus.
Please, post now. Help make a writer's day.

Fuck...I took the pictures so now I want to show them, but I didn't want to be the pilot....
I once had delusions of a kit and all that but I'm a poor planner in many senses.
This is my minimalist build, the horse hide gun belt is a stiff as fuck trainer gun belt and goes right around your waist on top your existing belt and pants.
Holster is a Safariland ALS so yep very secure - mag pouches are a little failure point prone since it's more of a "competition or everyday" design - I have shitty nylon with velcro 3 pack holder that can work but it's so skanky.
Chest rig is a Spectre Mk3 - (6) 30 round mags of 556 of your choice.
I hope I am not breaking any major gear thread etiquette as I'm not a normal participant.
>>32843324
I like your gumption.
You seem to have a solid start going on. Geardo dogma demands that I inquire about your plans to carry water and an IFAK/blowout kit.
>>32843324
OP ypu can be as minimalist as you want, you need water.
>>32843850
>>32843924
I have no plan and willingly accept my almost immediate demise.
The extent of my plan is "what's yours is mine if it's feasible"
If you need more than 5 rounds, you're fighting a losing battle.
>>32843251
You're not required to use them all. It's not like anybody with a modern handgun ever goes "Shit. I only fired once and the threat is stopped. I never should have spent all that money for these 15 remaining rounds. What a waste."
>>32843251
So the FBI should have just given up and let Platt shoot them all in the face with his mini-14 or....
>>32843251
Dissapointed that your first bait thread was derailed, OP?
Let's see your gunsmithing tools and gun cleaning equipment /k//.
You do clean your guns right?
>>32843185
>You do clean your guns right?

>>32843185
You don't need to clean revolvers, anon
Though it is odd how the stainless turns jet black after a few thousand rounds.
>>32843185
>needing all that shit to properly clean a gun
lel, get a Glock.
Howdy. I'm an upstate jew yorker, looking for some recommended firearms any proud American should own. I currently own a Winchester 67 single shot .22, and I'm looking to up my game a bit. I've been considering a 20 gauge shotgun, but I'm interested in what this board recommends.
Budget isn't a problem, just looking for solid guns I should own, pic related, similar to the 67 I own.
>Single shot .22 rifle
Try to look into some repeating firearms
10/22?
Mossy pump shottys
Try for AR rifle?
Some sort of .308 bolt rifle?
>>32842997
I like the 930SPX myself. If you are dead set on complying with the SAFE Act nonsense then you can get a mini 14 or 30, and remember that building a compliant AR is an option.
You can also get an AR lower and build whatever you feel like.
I am in Livingston County. Where are you?
>>32843078
Washington county, basically bordering Vermont. Never thought about an AR lower. I've heard of the process, but never really looked into it. Any guides for building my own AR?
Give me one good reason you shouldn't buy one of these. They're around only $200.
>>32842692
If its a .410 pistol you want, get a Judge or Governor (six shots). If you want a useful firearm, get a proper stocked shotgun.
>>32842718
Those don't have 11" barrels. I feel like they would be almost useless. Basically I want to keep this as a truck gun.
>>32842692
That fucking grip, tho...
It's like they had a contest to see if someone could make it fit absolutely nobody's hands.
