I was instructed to make this thread here since a lot of military anons hang out here. My friend recently got back from his deployment. He was part of the Indian army and was posted up in Kashmir. He is probably the most lovable guy I know and now hes just a broken mess or a shadow of his former self. Any anons here have any advice as to how I as a friend can help him out? Hes been getting psychiatric help but its not working and his family isnt really helping either.

Just be there for him, man. I came back pretty shaken up from my first deployment, but i just kept myself moving. The people who stuck around me knew not to ask, and we all just kept hanging out until i eventually returned to kinda normal.

Unfortunately the idea of PTSD is comparatively new in India and most of the time outright dismissed as paranoia. I was in India at the start of the year. He looked dead inside and it broke my fucking heart.
>>32149486
Adding to this, in my case, im just not the same person i was before. It happens. If he does the same thing happens with him just stick with him through the change if you can.

Why would he lunge at me?
Why aren't pack-fed weapons more common in the infantry?
Shits mad heavy yo

>carrying one large, heavy, complex ammunition store that doesn't provide anything other than the ability to burn out a barrel without swapping mags
>carrying a bunch of smaller, simple ammunition stores that can be tossed aside if they have an issue
I was going to go into this a bit further, but realized you're a 11yo who calls people fag-lords over Call of Duty voice chat and is generally not worth the time.
Heavy, prone to jamming and still have to swap barrels.
sup /k/, I turn 21 in January and I have about $500 for my first handgun. I'd like it to be something for general use but can also double for concealed carry if need be. I was thinking the Glock 19 would probably be the best choice, but if there are others worth looking at then I'd like to know.
Any suggestions are welcome.

FNS-9

Ruger SR9
Springfield XD-9 essentials
First, happy birthday motherfucker. Second, I think a Glock would be a choice, as they are cheap. I would consider getting a Sig Sauer P320, specifically the compact version.
1911s have proven extremely reliable, with a good punch, but they fall in terms of ammo capacity. Don't get a revolver. Just dont.
Also remember that there are other options later on, and you can expand how many guns you can have.

God damnit someone posted a gen3 19 and i just masturbated.

Can a non American citizen acquire a firearm legally and if so what is the most effective weapon and ammunition type when used against un-armored flesh? What kind of weapon and/or bullet will stop a man dead if shot directly at him?
>>32148306
go away Achmed.
>>32148306
Nice try Ahmed.
>>32148306
It's illegal for a non US citizen to possess a firearm.
No gun store in the USA would sell a firearm to a non US Citizen, and they couldn't do it even if they wanted to, they would tell you to GTFO.
and almost all private sellers make you show a State ID at the time of purchase, so they would also tell you to GTFO
How can other companies hope to compete?
Literally the best

Local cabelas has m1s for sale for $1700 and up. Is this a good deal? I live in kansas and m1 garands don't ever really come up on the secondary market, and I don't see them at gun shows either. Ive been looking a few years. CMP doesn't seem to be taking orders anymore either
>>32147981
>1700
Unless its a Winchester fuck no
>>32147981
You can get a serviceable M1 for $630 from the Civllian Marksmanship Program still. On the open market, $1700 for a regular shooter grade is pretty steep. Most of the time they are in the $900-$1300 depending on the manufacturer. However, collectible Garands can go for much more than $1700 as well. A correct, as issued from the factory Winchester runs about $3500-$4000 alone.
>>32148000
International Harvesters go for a lot more than Winchesters do. When I worked at the CMP, I pulled about 3 Winchesters out of the sorting crates for every International.

It sounds more like "the German government tells HK to sell their guns only to the country's closest allies even if they'll go bankrupt doing it".

Jesus christ you're a fuckin fag
That's right. The NDAA is about to expire and with that expires the one year period where the Army could have transferred 1911 pistols the the CMP. Welp, no one got CMP 1911s. How many of you were falsely excited by bloggers who didn't even read the NDAA? Did you really think they were going to be transferred?
I didn't really give a shit, and neither should you.
Shit I'm still waiting on my damn garand.

Its pretty fuckin disappointing....... but what can you do?

This was my chairman meow. He died early this year and I think about him every day. He was the best cat I ever had, and it's difficult to see photos of him. I have a few photos of him with my WASR on a hard drive somewhere. Take care and love your /k/ats every day, because you'll never know when they will leave you.
