Okay, /k/, I bought an abused and used Type 53, with a barrel so pitted you can't see rifling at the crown. This is the accuracy I'm getting at about 15-20 feet. How can I milk some accuracy out of her?

I thought it might be an interesting thought experiment to put together a navy for the ever popular hypothetical of Texas becoming its own country again.
Let's assume that it splits from the US but is still on friendly terms, so no risk of war is out there.
What would be a reasonable navy for Texas to have? The economy would be fairly strong and of course there is the rather large border on the Gulf of Mexico.
Personally I don't see the need for carriers or anything related to force projection. At the same time I think a considerable defensive fleet wouldn't be out of the question.
Pic related would be one of the first things I would want to get. Question is how many Burkes would be a good number? Also what about Ticos or even some British models?
What do you boys think?

Converted civilian ships as there are no naval construction yards in Texas.
>>
>>32395723
considering its reliance on the oil industry any fleet would probably need to be very escort based
>>
>>32395723
It would likely just be a local brown water style navy.
You need something to patrol the offshore oil rigs, as they would be an important part of Texas' lifeblood oil supply. Also sufficient forces to break a blockade. Something like Australia's naval force would be perfect IMO.

They're focused on patrolling their coast for the most part.

How come dogs don't have to shave before putting on a facepiece? It's not fair, I say. They shouldn't get preferential treatment, humans and canines are EQUALS! Equal rights for humans NOW!

Switzerland is not part of the EU.
Likewise, the only other part of Europe with guns (Ulster) won't have their guns taken away since England voted out.

I have the low cut Merrill Moab Ventilators and they're bretty nice, especially for $70. I have wide feet though so they don't fit me so good. If you have "normal" feet they should be good boots.
>>
>>32396703
I'm pretty sure they make Moabs in wide sizes now I got mine in wide a few months back.
>>
>>32396703
Merrell makes wide sizes
I have some Moab vents as well and they are great shoes.

Hey, /k/. I want to get a handgun for Christmas and I'm thinking about the AMT Hardballer but I only want it for the look. Is it actually any good as a carry? Wouldn't want to get my shit wrecked because I sacrificed reliability for style.

I've heard that the slide and frame have cracking issues. A bit long for carry. I'd get it just as a range toy if anything
>>
Mate, I'll tell you this. Don't do it. You get yourself down to your local FFL dealer and ask for a glock. Let me just say one thing about this gun; perfection. Pick any caliber and any model and you've got yourself one of the best. damn. guns out there.

Can we turn this into an impractical pistol thread?
I've always liked the original Automag. Something about the Luger-esqe design and it being chambered in a big huge magnum load. I'd much rather one over a Desert Eagle.

How effective are ATGMs mounted on cars ?
From all these middle east ATGM videos, we can come to conclusion that ATGMs are pretty darn effective and what if they are mounted on pickups, it will have a pretty good mobility and can perform a hit and run attacks on tanks.
