If you don't know if they person will like reloading, a single stage would be a safe bet. I personally say don't even look at turrets. No point now that quick detach bushings exsist.

RCBS Rockchucker is solid if you want a single stage. RCBS also always have rebates going. You can get 75 back from buying 300 dollars of RCBS stuff. Also fantastic no nonsense customer service

It would be for my Dad, he's owned reloaders before but its been a long time (at least 20 years since i never knew one to be in the house). I'll keep that in mind though, also what are quick detach bushings? sorry for me being a scrub

>>32206688
You screw an adaptor into the top of the large bore press. Things like the Hornady, Lee classic and RCBS rockchucker re all good candidates.
By putting a matching collar on the dies you can swap them in and out without effecting the adjustments.
Makes a single stage press every bit as fast as a turret at die changes.

Get some new arms.

-Do you even lift?

-Don't flinch

load one round, shoot twice.

the second dry-fire will let you notice your flinch and hopefully correct it.

Ceiling or flight time are major hindrances. 20mm is the bare minimum though.

Is your home a mortar pit?

>zumwalt has no AShM capability and dies

>>32206188
If you use crew requirement as a point of comparison instead of cost it's 2 Zumwalts vs 1 Burke.

Even better question

Century raised the price to push their American made AKs.
Why buy a Ugly milled US made brick when you can buy a romak for cheaper.

>>32206123
ugh, that's gay

part of it is century jacking up the price the other is cugir is focusing more on military sales with all the wars going on. new production supply is limited

Get some body armor I guess.
Easy enough to hide this time of year, your shop's probably old enough to not have working heat too.

>>32206035

gun behind the counter

Take a pic of store layout. Get some pistol grade body armor, should not be too expensive. Conceal a pistol. Get a sawed off shotty and keep it by the register. If they come in pointing a gun at you do whatever they say and try to remain calm. Try to distract them or look for a weakness. Most robbers will keep looking behind them for police/people calling the police. That is your time to draw and shoot. Try and get control of their gun if it is in your face. A quick slap will usually disarm someone like a dindu who don't know how to hold a gun properly.

I plan to get one myself

Nice gun. Is it used? I haven't seen one of those around for less than like 600.

>Weird jagged coastline. Who designed this, an alien?

Hey, Slartibartfast won an award for his work on the fjords!

They would get their shit pushed in.
The only adavatages they would have would be gas and manpower.
The size of the gat e limits the amount of either that can get through while modern soldiers are better trained, have better firepower and organizatrion, and have much more extensive training with gases.
Add in that Paris was laid out so the armee could easily swoop in and put down insurrections and the invaders would probably not even last a day.

>>32206072
Fair points, the size of the gate is a huge limiting factor.

On the flipside, I think a European Alliance would be able to organize enough forces to fend off a counter-attack. Surely there'd be artillery and field guns from 1918 that could do some damage to a modern MBT?

>>32205957
What illegitimate channels?

>>32205997
Idk. I don't think it would be anything to shady. But he definitely wanted access to protection while he was at work in a store in the ghetto in Chicago. Hell maybe it was just a straw purchase. Remember this is a hypothetical. I don't know all the details I just need to know if it doesn't have paperwork how can I claim it

In my state there is no registration so with that I wouldn't give a shit about the lack of paperwork. As long as the serial number doesn't link the gun to some homicide I'm fine.

not real

>>32205821
Hmm, there might be something in the catalog that would answer your question.

>>32205821
Frankengun but obviously very closely based on the AR-15.

Close enough, in fact, that I bet you could make this thing IRL and still use a standard AR barrel, gas system, bolt, buffer, etc. The only major differences are cosmetics and the fact that it's a side-charger instead of the usual AR T-handle. (And side-charging AR uppers already exist.)

>The U.S. and India are drawing closer politically and militarily. The two have participated in joint naval exercises with Japan. The U.S. has agreed to sell New Delhi everything from attack helicopters to artillery. Washington has approved proposals by Lockheed Martin and Boeing Co. to make advanced jet fighters in India. And in August, the two countries signed a military logistics-sharing accord.

>The emerging relationship has reshaped Asia’s geopolitical terrain, riling China, which has issued diplomatic complaints over the joint exercises, and sometimes sidelining Russia, long India’s largest supplier of military hardware.

>Both Indian and American officials say they hope cooperation will grow under President-elect Donald Trump, who has signaled a tougher approach toward China. After the U.S. election, the American Ambassador to India said the ties forged with India under President Barack Obama were “irreversible.”

>The centerpiece of the military cooperation are the aircraft carriers.

>“Of all the U.S.’s efforts to cooperate with India’s military, the aircraft carrier project is the one with the biggest potential payout and could make the biggest difference to the regional balance of power,” said Ashley Tellis of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a former U.S. adviser in New Delhi.

>But U.S. concerns are growing about India’s military strategy. Experts worry New Delhi’s insistence on building complex military gear largely from scratch, a legacy of its period of nonalignment, has led to severe delays in modernizing its carriers, jet fighters and nuclear submarines and limited its ability to fight.

>A Indian Defense Ministry spokesman declined to comment beyond saying that its aircraft carriers were “still under progress.” A Navy spokesman declined to comment. Indian Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar recently reiterated a commitment to indigenous manufacturing, citing concerns that foreign supply of arms and ammunition could be cut off in a time of war. “I think self-dependence is very important,” he said.

>China, meanwhile, is rapidly expanding its military forces. It launched its first aircraft carrier in 2012 and is building two more. Chinese state-owned companies have invested in strategic ports circling the Indian Ocean in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Pakistan, that have resupplied its naval vessels. And China is now building its first overseas military outpost in Djibouti.

>Chinese officials have rejected assertions that they are pursuing military objectives in the Indian Ocean, saying submarines resupplying in Sri Lanka were heading to the Gulf of Aden on antipiracy missions.

>India, for its part, pledged funding last year for a new port in Iran where India’s own ships could potentially resupply for Indian Ocean missions. And it is seeking to match China’s naval force by adding two Indian-built carriers to the Russian one it now operates.


>The first homemade Indian carrier, the INS Vikrant, has fallen short of expectations. An Indian state audit, released in July, found serious faults in its design and construction, from gear boxes to jet launching systems and air conditioning units.

>The shipyard building the carrier, which has already cost $3 billion, “had no previous experience of warship construction” and is five years behind schedule, the audit said. India’s military sticks by its 2018 deadline.

>Other experts said the ship’s hull was built before the navy had decided on some of the weapons systems, likely hampering its eventual performance. India’s homemade Tejas jet fighters, which are slated to fly from the Vikrant alongside squadrons of Russian jets, are also struggling to take off and land with an adequate payload on a simulated flight deck where they are being tested, people familiar with its testing said.

>The upshot, these experts say: the carrier’s defensive flaws make it unlikely to able to operate in important theaters like the Persian Gulf or off the eastern coast of Africa, outside of the protective range of India’s land-based air force.

>Still, the U.S. Navy plans to step up cooperation, pinning its hopes on India’s second homemade carrier, which promises to be far larger and contain more advanced technology. While carriers are losing their relevancy with the proliferation of cheap antiship missiles and advanced attack submarines, they are still likely to remain at the core of most major navies for some decades.

tl;dr the Indian Navy's first indigenous carrier is a piece of shit to the extent that it surprised US officials who went to see it

>>32205310
if they have 2500 to blow on an airsoft rifle, they can afford to take a carbine class and actually train with a real rifle.

Germany doesn't belong in the same sentence as France and the UK.

Their military is a joke.

>>32205010
Merkel is right, the German military is a shadow of its former self. France and the UK are the two large military powers in Western Europe.

The issue in the shift of grand strategy to strategic isolation that the author recommends is that it would cripple US hegemony and consequently our influence and economic power along with it.

We willingly shoulder the burdens of hegemony in order to reap the benefits: mainly economic stability, military primacy, and being able to define and create international systems with our considerable political capital.

While I wouldn't advocate a hyper active military, I also wouldn't recommend pulling back, as it would leave a power vacuum that begs to be filled by aspiring regional hegemons, which further destabilizes the international system.

>>32205105
but who would fill the Hegemon role in Europe? All France, the UK, and Germany are all incapable of doing so. So far I agree that we should withdraw from our European commitments as they seem capable of handling themselves, being nuclear states. I highly disagree with him on Japan however, breaking ties with them indisputably hurts our power, as the for front of future combat will be naval and in the pacific.
