That's all fine and good OP but you and I are all civilian gun owners. Most of us have the time, money, and inclination to realistically support any platform we choose and this is why many people have left the glocks for a better out of the box performing gun that requires very little if any modifications.

Though there's nothing wrong with choosing glocks

>>32566063
I got into Glocks because you can modify the shit out of it. One size does not fit all

Glocks are obsolete trash.

The next problem is where to mount lights and lasers so that they are accessible and still have a front BUIS. It can be a challenge. If a shooter is going to work at night they WILL need the flashlight and or laser, they MIGHT (once again never seen it happen) need the BUIS. As a Green Beret and a shooter I made a decision based on experience to stop fighting with BUIS problems and I don’t run them on my rifles. I have found it much easier to operate the rifle with he stock extended and without the BUIS I can mount every magnified optic I’ve seen and have a shootable, maneuverable RIFLE and use the optic with the correct eye relief. I’ve also found that it is much easier mount all my lights and lasers in very usable positions on the rail without BUIS interference. These are my thoughts based on my experiences and observations. Think about these when you are setting up your rifle and hopefully you end up with a really shootable rifle!

Take a look at the attached pictures

>OP image >>32564243
The one on the ATV was my first SF deployment to Afghanistan. Based on the mission and I chose to run an ACOG over a red dot. You can tell in the pic that I had a rear BUIS on the rifle and had to mount the optic forward and collapse the stock; I also was just like other shooters and thought that the stock was supposed be collapsed because it was cool etc. I didn’t know enough about shooting then!

>imagie in >>32564258
The picture out in the desert was my last SF deployment to Iraq. You can see the stock is extended, the Elcan Spectre DR 1-4 was mounted all the way back and no BUIS. The Spectre DR was a great solution to everything I might encounter from working in urban areas to open terrain. You’ll also notice the rifle has a longer free float rail, a CMC trigger, more ergonomically correct pistol grip and some other items that offered increased performance and solid reliability. In the time between these 2 deployments I got involved in competitive shooting and learned a lot more about shooting and how to set up my gear to be more effective! You’ll notice I have plenty of room on the rail for my flashlight and laser to go anywhere I needed them to be. You’ll probably notice there’s not a laser currently on the rifle. My TTP was to keep my LA-5/PEQ15 (laaaaaaaser) and NODS together, when I put on NODS, I put on the LA-5/PEQ15. The LA-5 was super easy to zero without shooting also.

The other picture (attached to this post) you see of how my current rifles are set shows continued development as a shooter. A common them is they all have variable power scopes either 1-4 or 1-6. I have found that I can do everything I can do with a red dot with a variable power scope on 1x but when targets get small, are at distance or are hard to see……the 4x or 6x really shines and a red dot can’t give you the same capability. My current philosophy is ;if I’m going to put an optic on my rifle and add weight and spend money, its’ going to be a 1- something variable optic. Well that’s all I’ve got for now, I hope you all enjoyed this article. Take care and I wish you the best in your shooting!

It doesn't do much more than what the M4 already does to warrant spending money to replace them all
There won't be any new service rifles until the LSAT program yields results for a potential new standard caliber

>>32564131
FN made exactly what SOCOM asked for, SOCOM bought some, and then realized it was more cost effective to just keep using M4s instead of buying their snowflake rifle out of discretionary funding.

>>32564131
you heard fucking wrong. Why don't you actually pick one up?

The real issue is that M4s are FREE, SCARs are not.

This has been covered to death here by owners that are, you know, not retarded and actually literate.

Long story short, OP got shot in the interim by the owner and died before finishing this thread.

Watch a travis haley video

You'll be magdumping into a steel plate with an AR from 10 feet away in no time.

Also watch an instructor zero video too, really cool LARPing guy

There is only one authentic military training experience.

It's in the fucking military.

If you like wasting money on medicore guns

>>32560410
What do you suggest ? I'm just a sucker for below retail and good deals.

>>32560381
is gunbuyer a legit store?

If it nicks your axillary artery, you're dead in seconds

There are bones, nerves, arteries in your shoulder you need to have for your arm to work.

Bullets smash bones, arm doesn't work.
Bullets cut nerves, arm doesn't work
Bullets cut arteries, bleed out die, also arm doesn't work.

kinda big deal.

>>32560298
It's a piece of wood with a metal tip piercing your body. It's a pretty big fucking deal.

>>32559968
Will they ever recover?

>>32559968
As much as I dislike the ATF, pistol braces are retarded and obviously not made for single handed firing. These guys should be locked up for being assholes who like to skirt around the law.

Why are the bombs angled differently than the missles? Doesnt that cause unnecessary drag during flight?

But I don't becuase I know that it's still shooting skills, even if they are purpose built low power target guns.

I actually want to get into biathlon shooting.

>>32552935
because /k/ is about weapons, those are not weapons. Same treatment goes to airsofters

fuck that, I love watching the biathlon

spetsnaz, that way when i die i know it was deliberate and that the hostage takers are equally screwed.

>>32551962
Spetsnaz. They are a more specialized unit. The Marines I feel would botch the operation not because they are women.

spyderco sharpmaker. I had a lansky jig setup but it was pretty shitty.

> nothing fancy

I make a couple of swipes on some automotive sand paper on a lexan sheet to bring the edge back. I try to keep a bit of a convex edge.

I have a basic Lansky like the one >>32550770 mentions and yeah it kind of sucks. It works but it's not the greatest.

Been thinking about a Sharpmaker myself. From what I've read it seems like the Lansky is better for serious reprofiling and fixing damage, while the Sharpmaker is more for maintenance, so having both wouldn't be the worst.
