Which American special operations unit would be considered the most effective at all levels of operating, from airborne insertion to guerilla warfare?

The US Army.

Special forces aren't numerous enough to actually occupy a nation and occupation is part of operations.

/k/,
Can you help me sort the the massive about of fudd information on 1911s? I'm trying to do research and pick a somewhat decent starter 1911 but holy fuck everyone is saying something different.

I'm considering the Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec because:
>Made in America now (hurrrr Brazil shitpost)
>Forged frame and slide
>pretty basic 1911 to get my feet wet

I've seen a few constant complaints on the weapon that include MIM part complaints, poor fittings, and inaccurate (just repeating what I've seen here).

I really don't want to buy some shit 1911 made by on some Island nation by an 11 year old so can you tell me. Is the Springfield Mil-Spec worth the money or not?

What I want to know is why a cheap EXACT replica of the original cannot be made without some shitty wording all over it, does colt still have the rights ?

RIA 1911s can handle .45 Super according to what they've said. Which means its just as good as American made for a fraction of the price.

Buying American products is like spending hundreds of thousands for a house made from a cheap wood frame and drywall. Its not worth the money and you're actually supporting a false market that's fucking you over by taking 1/3rd of the money you'll make in your life so you can have a house that'll fall apart in your lifetime.

There's fair business then there's outright market robbery of people that don't understand the value of what they are buying.

Its like buying a new car and losing 25% of what you paid once you drive it off the lot.

Some things can't justify their pricetag.
>>
>>32704757
RIA has cast frames if I remember correctly and maybe I've just read to much fudd info but shouldn't I avoid cast?

A big bore revolver with a screw on barrel kit.

Like a .44 Dan Wesson.

You can go snub nose for CC or put on a longer barrel for hunting. Dan Wessons can handle more powerful loads as well.

Its one gun that can do it all.

The Steyr M9-A1 is the most underrated polymer pistol, also.

Why are Asians so good at camo and concealment?

I've got a couple.
I have an old 1960's Mexican peso I got from an old guy at a gun show the day before I shipped to basic. I've carried the sumbitch with me every day of service so far, be it in my pocket or in my wallet.

Also an old old OLD lego attack helicopter I made when a child. reminds me of home.

and in my wallet a silly little GI Joe novelty dog tag I was given by someone significant to me. helps me to good. damn do I miss him constantly.

You are part of the problem. some guy at a gun show sold me a model 1938 turk mauser for $140 because he got it for $70 back in the good old days. And $350 is way high anyway go about $250 MAX you should only sell it for $225

Does /k/ into night vision scopes? I used the goggles while in the army but I sorta want a nice night vision scope. Is there anything even remotely comparable available for poorfags?
19 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>32703537

There's gen 1 and IR devices that are getting pretty cheap. The major disadvantages are image quality, light sensitivity, and almost always requiring a fuckhueg ir illuminator.

Assuming you used a PVS-14, there's a reason they're ~$3000 and most gear of comparable quality is about as expensive.
>>
>>32703537
Any sort of decent low light image enhancement is not within the realm of poorfags..

Grainy and short range shitty Gen1 gear, sure that's within poorfag prices, but anything half good (Gen3+) is instantly $2,000+.
>>
>>32703537
From experience in the military, I'll say that if you want a night scope, thermal is a better choice than IR. IR is great for general purpose and navigation, but thermal gives much better target acquisition for scanning and aiming with a weapon.

'Course decent thermal is probably expensive as shit too. I haven't used the civilian ones myself, but they look pretty grainy compared to what I'm used to. If you just want it for hunting or whatever, it's probably passable. Something with black and white mode with red/blue highlights is great for detecting living animals/people against nature.

Can you literally carry anywhere you choose--mall, restaurant, movie theater, public transportation-- so long as you have your permit?

If a cop sees your print, will they request to see your permit?

Can't carry in gun free zones or gov't buildings. Check your states CCW laws for more. Google "[your state] CCW Laws". Unless you get caught by a raging soccermom and causes a scene over your piece you won't get asked to show it by a cop unless you do something stupid (like break the law). Also, "concealed" is in the name. Keep it that way and don't give the rest of us a bad name by ending up on the 5 o'clock news.
>>
>>32703474
21years of daily CC here. I carry everywhereI physically can. In other words, if there are no metal detectors of pat-downs I am carrying. Fuck signs, fuck "zones", fuck all of that noise. Concealed means concealed.

NC is required to inform police that you're interacting with that you are carrying.

I have seen a ton of pictures of old surplus rifles that make their way into third world countries. Usually things like FALs, Mosins, SKS, AKMs, G3.

What rifle is truly best for these conditions? Which one has the most proven track record in the worst conditions?

This got me thinking: say you were in a place where you couldn't easily get more ammunition, replacement parts like springs or stocks, etc. Say you basically had to scrounge up things to clean your rifle. Say you had to go months, possibly years without shooting it but needed it to operate at the drop of a hat.

Its more circumstantial than to do with competence. In the case of Americans, there's a real mallninja wannabe-operator culture withing SWAT and cops as a whole, so you get ACUs and keffyehs when its not appropriate. On the case of Favela and OMOH or whatever militarized cops, they have an actual chance of getting in regular protracted gunfights, so it makes sense to wear camo (though effectiveness of OMOH blue camo is suspect).
