OK to any of you professional combat experts, tell me; is pic related a meme? What mean is in any /k/ related scenario or setting, there's always gonna be ONE guy or gal who's some expert maksman but uses a bow and arrow as a gimmick or "signature weapon." Despite being in a scenario where people have long range guns and robots that can shoot missiles in your face.
Seriously, how "applicable" is the whole archer thing in a modernized or "futuristic" combat scenario? Or is it just a silly fictional thing because guns and drones beat bow-and-arrow?
Pic related is a character from a videogame which setting is future sci-fi with high tech guns, energy weapons (FREAKIN' LASER BEAMS), and combat robots with miniguns and missiles and what not. Again what's with the bow and arrow archer gimmick when you got guns?
Please explain.
>>32664900
No.
This is the same game that put a Garand in spess.
So, ++No.
>>32664900
>Please explain.
What is to explain? Archery takes 10yrs or more to master and I can teach a man in an hour to kill your from farther away then you could kill them.
>>32664900
I think you realize it's a meme but you don't want to admit it. It's okay anon
SO I'm thinking about buying an IWI X95.
The only problem is I'm a leftie. DO I need to buy separate parts to convert the weapon to left-handed operation, or do the parts already on the weapon just switch over?
ALso, general X95 discussion, reviews, opinions, experiences

What's the point of the M9A3 if Beretta isn't going to put it into the MHS competition.
Are there diehard M9 fans who'll eat this shit up?
>>32664822
They were hoping to convince congress that they had a "low cost" alternative to the MHS competition. Everyone, including the Army Chief of Staff thinks that the MHS comp is dumb and a waste of time/money. It shouldn't take this long to chose a fucking COTS handgun
>>32664822
Because when the MHS competition goes nowhere, like the last fifty fucking attempts at replacing the M9, it'll be there as the cheaper COTS solution.
>the M9A3 was cheaper too
What's the best gun?

Hey /k/, somebody can explain this to me. Why are the Marines rolling out the M27 as a SAW? Is it actually good in that role? Or is it just because they needed to put it somewhere and they could only put it in the role?
>>32664565
It's a roundabout way to get a new infantry rifle and DMR.
>>32664565
it's lighter weight, more accurate and can use magazines more reliably than the SAW.
They also aren't completely getting rid of the SAW
>>32664565
My thoughts was that they were trying to replace the saw with something that takes m4/m16 mags when needed and saves ammo by making more precise shots. This is speculation and recollection, not hard fact.
>inb4 saw can take stanag mags in an emergency
Oldfag calibers that have to fuck off and die:
30-06, 2.43, 30-30, .44 mag, .380 auto, .38 special, and 28 gauge.
Why have any of these when we have replacements such as:
.308, .223, .50/357, 9mm, and 20 gauge
>>32664116
why not both?
Nice b8 m8, but no ones falling for it
>>32664116
Because millions upon millions of guns exist in those calibers. Why buy a new one when you already have one and it gets the job done? Let me guess, you buy the newest iPhone every 6 months?
What shitty overpriced ammo do you carry in your CCW?

Is this illegal? Additionally if he attacks you are you able to shoot or are you considered the aggressor because you confronted him?
I heard that if you pull a knife at all in attempt of self defense that you can catch an assault charge, and obviously you're not supposed to point guns at people who aren't threatening you with deadly force, but what if you are just holding your gun? It's not like you always have a time to holster it before you go outside, or are you just supposed to stay inside and call the cops?
>>32663876
I have Castle Doctrine. I shoot the fucker.

>Is this illegal?
No but it is stupid.

The second he scratches the car he gets a lead enema.
So what does /k/ think of the 22lr of the shotgun world? 410 seems like shit from a revolver, but what about from an actual shotgun? Could it be used effectively?
>>32663871
4 gauge is the only weapon of a true man. Everything else is for women-folk.
>>32663871
>Could it be used effectively?
Sure, but what's the point? 12 gauge is already cost-effective, far more common, and shotguns are relatively cheap.
>>32663871
.410 slugs or buck out of a rifled/long barrel are capable of killing a person at close/moderate ranges with proper shot placement.
Found this while doing a completely unrelated google image search. What the hell is this monstrosity!?

Anyone use Angelfire .223 ammo? I've got a bunch of tulammo I bought for a daniel defense AR and it performs like shit. I want something on par with Federal ammunition.
>>32663272
Get ppu or federal. Don't put steel trash through your top shelf rifle.

You fucking nigger. You buy a nice rifle and feed it shit? I should spoon feed you my fucking shits.
