if you're joining the guard to learn how to be super operator man you'll be disappointed. You do get some training but sounds like you'd be better off taking some classes.

Benefits are neat tho.

former national guard Infantryman here, after basic training, shot live rounds 5 times. 3 times for quals, 2 times for live fire stx lanes.

the pay is shit, the training is shit, that's a terrible reason to join the guard

Did you go active or not

buy an ak15

what do you want it for?

>>34902112
Unfortunately shotgun shells are not all that reliable out of a box mag. I looked at the same style of gun for my first and ultimately went with a 9mm pistol. Obviously you will make the final decision. Just read up on reliability and learn to find a lot least a second if not a third opinion.

In the future please check the catalog and make sure there's not already a place that would be appropriate for your question before making a thread for it.

Which one is still in service?

>>34901811
1 pics an air superiority fighter, the other is a fleet interceptor.

If they are dogfighting neither pilot has any skill, comparative or otherwise.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as direct impingement, is in fact the Stoner gas system, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, true expanding gas system. The Stoner gas system is not an direct impingement system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning gas operated system made useful by the bolt carrier expansion chamber, bolt and gas rings comprising a full gas system as defined by CIP/SAAMI.
Many firearm users run a modified version of the Stoner gas system, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of the true expanding gas system which is widely used today is often called “direct impingement”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the true expanding gas system system, developed by Eugene Stoner. There really is a direct impingement, and other guns are using it, but it is just a part of the system those guns use.
The gas system: the part in the system that allocates the rifle's gas to the bolt carrier group. The gas system is an essential part of a firearm, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete firearm design. Direct impingement is normally used in combination with direct action on the gas key: the whole Stoner gas system is basically the expansion chamber with direct impingement added, or the true expanding gas system. All the so-called “direct impingement” firearms are really combinations of the true expanding gas system.

Okay really stupid question, I'll admit that

How does the barrel stay where it's supposed to be in a short recoil gun

It's not bolted to the receiver or whatever, because it has to slide

Convinced me

I want to believe.

Anyone?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck.

You can trust any of them m8. They are either terrorists or sympathizers.

>>34901608
avoid crowds when possible, stick close to walls when walking in public and run the opposite direction of screams and gunshots

Cop is kinda cute, and carbine is very sexy. 8/10, would fuck, shoot in head then take his weapons, LBE and comms.

>Shoot in the head

Anon its called a blowjob...

>>34901257
What kind of shooting do you plan to do? Are you going to be carrying it long distances or will it be more of a bench gun? Different barrels are good for different things. Pencil barrels (as I recall) are designed to be light weight, easy to carry, relatively accurate cold-though they lose some of that as they heat up, and quick to cool down and with minimal deformation. Bull barrels, on the other hand, are fucking heavy if you have to hump them around, often tend to perform better after a couple of rounds and can handle extended use with a negligible loss of accuracy (more thermal mass). There are also all kinds of designs on between, from finned, fluted, twisted, and who knows what the fuck else. Decide what you want your rifle to be and then worry about the barrel.

>>34901257
just get a regular gov profile barrel you idort

or get a Ballistic Advantage hansen profile barrel if you're not retarded

Can confirm, Hanson is way to go.

Since you didn't give an intended purpose I'm suggesting you buy a machete and get one of those nice rounded sheaths so it doesn't cut you when you keister it.

One of these.

Wait, like folding how? Are we talking FMG9? Those weird phone-shaped derringers? Something like the .22 that fits in its own stock?

Also, no. It's going to be another 9mm in a new barrel/grip length combination.

Either that or a very similar gun to the P320 as their "last chance, Mr. Army" gun.

>>34900301
Aerospace/mechanical/electrical engineering, get a 1st, go to BAE, Thales, anyone like that.

>>34900381
then computer engineering degree wont work?

>>34900513
I dont really know what aspects computer engineering covers, you could likely get into the defence industry with it but youd either be a code monkey or a hardware jockey working on specific systems, i.e inbuilt comms/command consoles for vehicles, as opposed to gucci shit like helping design stealth fighters. Then again, all depends on your area of knowledge and what you consider gucci shit.

I'd pay 20 for that bow. Good Job

>silencer on a bow

Mallninjas have no shame

>>34899822
Only if you shoot all day every day for months at a time.

Then you are probably deployed special operations, are using an issued gun, and have a giant logistics chain behind you to replace any parts.

Yes

Nah it doesn't matter. If it did companies wouldn't be moving away from it
