Should have pushed your department to adopt the walther ppq instead
Any 30-06 rifles under $1000 worth taking a look at?

There are a ton in that price point.
Get a model 70 winchester.
>>31971008
M1.
unless you reload your own hotload fuddy-ot-six in a custom-cut (read: chambered barrel blank bull-barrel), everything else is 308 <600yd or 338 for up to 1200yd.
Can I get that Swiss anon in here, please? I have a Schmidt-Rubin question.
My Schmidt-Rubin was totally smooth, and today I oiled it without getting it dirty or anything, but now the action is rough and gritty as fuck. I tried cleaning the action, to no avail.
What do?
>>31970958
Help please.
>>31970958
This fucking sucks.
>>31970958
Is the action dry or oiled
The FAL is the best standard issue military rifle ever made. Prove it's not.
>Protip: You can't

I thought the South African FALs didn't have carry handles.
Are you really so desperate for views you have to post your stupid fucking videos every month?
Fuck off Johnny
>>31970993
Still can't prove that the FAL is the best standard issue military rifle ever.
500 rounds didn't feel like enough :(
>>31970836
You bought those ugly ass coated bullets?
>>31970843
Red makes them shoot faster
>>31970836
Are those rubber? Are you gay?
What can I do to help a fellow operator that has just been shot?

Keep moving
This may not be the best place to ask this, but I figure you gun nuts know a thing or two about the military.
What's up with all the fucking coffee? I've been reading a lot of Clancy lately, and every fucking chapter coffee is mentioned at least 3 times.
Why aren't these guys swallowing caffeine pills, or dosing modafinil or some sort of amphetamine? Why fucking coffee of all the stimulants out there? WHY is our entire military (and other militaries around the globe for that matter) operating on coffee? Wouldn't that bias their decision-making somewhat? Yeah, caffeine gives you energy and revives your attention span, but the kind of headspace it induces is more conducive to repetitive tasks than coming up with breakthrough, out-of-the-box solutions and such.
Any job with sleep deprivation+boredom=people chugging coffee.
>>31970764
I don't know
Something tells me it's probably better for a soldier to be sober at all times
Other stimulant drugs are used, but pretty rarely. You do still hear about pilots getting "go pills" on occasion, though. Most of us just drink energy drinks anymore.
As for why, it's because the military is fucking tiring, especially at war. Long hours, little rest. I'd rather be awake with a lower attention span or whatever than asleep.
Any advice, /k/ommandos?
I already own a 9mm pistol that I love with all my heart. Sig SP2022, but that's all I got. Definitely looking to spend some money.
>Watch for sweeping Fudds.
>Get ready to get assblasted on if the seller refers to it as tactical.
>If you buy ammo, make sure it's not reloads
>>31970660
You're gonna be surronded by fudds selling a bunch of garbage. Make sure you know your shit about guns before you give them any money.
>>31970682
Probably going to be looking into rifles (Ar), but I'm open to getting a better caliber pistol.
Hola gentlemen. I run an Etsy shop making weapons, armor, and random clay shit. I want to show a few of my creations off and get some feedback on them, and input on future ideas.
Is CCing this viable?
>>31970579
It's as viable as CCing a turd.
Sure but if you ever have to use it you've just lost a collector's piece for at least 4 months.
>>31970579
Sure. Just make sure it's reliable and practice that 180 safety sweep.
If you had to choose between a Kolibri or your bare hands for self defense, which would be more effective?
>>31970079
My bare fucking hands, an aitsoft gun hits with 1-2 jouls, that thing hits with like 2, a 9mm hits with 500+, I'd rather deck a mother fucker then piss him off.
>>31970079
I guess I'd take my chances with the meme gun, maybe I could do some crazy Revolver Ocelot shit and shoot my opponent through the eye and have the bullet bounce around his skull
>>31970115
how many joules is .22lr? just curious
What happens if I shoot a .309 bullet down a .311 barrel?
What happens if I shoot a .311 bullet down a .308 barrel?
>>31969925
>Big fireball and almost no muzzle pressure or velocity
>A squib or a worn to shit barrel
>>31969925
works fine
people shoot 308s in 311s all the time with pretty good accuracy
probably have pressure issues
Depends on your loads. If you're using mild loads for both, you should be fine. Unless it's the steel-core shit... It's not optimal, but lead and copper is soft, and deforms much more than .001 in regular firing. Just watch the pressure.
Why does /k/ hate this plane? It's almost literally one of the best things we have in the sky, the A-10's modular data bus, pod hardpoints and extensible flight control/fire control electronics allow it’s capabilities to be upgraded relatively simply as new hardware and software becomes available. The A-10C actually has some of the most modern and flexible fire control systems of anything flying with fixed wings and offers significant air-to-air capability with the right mix of pods. It has lots of room for computer and radar equipment, and wires, and it’s relatively simple control systems are easily integrated and upgraded with new tech. Look to target, off axis/beyond horizon fire control, extensive ECM and more have been planned and/or tested on the platform. If they spent 1/4 the cost of an F-35 on updates to the electronics of an A-10 the advantages of the F-35's speed start to fade fast. The A-10 begins to become a computer-targeting-enhanced, ballet-dancing munitions dump, waiting to unleash 12 different kinds of death from it’s weapons systems and cloaking itself in a fog of countermeasures so dense visual engagement starts to seem like the only option. The A-10 is NOT fast, it’s true, but it is also *NOT* to be fucked with.

It has tons of weight dedicated to an impressive but dated and inefficient cannon. It also has tons of weight dedicated to surviving hits that everyone else is focusing on avoiding. AAA can't even reach the plane at the altitudes it now engages from, and all that titanium isn't going to function against missiles the size of telephone poles the way it did against 23mm ground fire.
Tl;Dr it was optimized to fight a completely different kind of war, and is optimized to be used in a way that is no longer safe, effective, or neccessary. All its modern success is achieved in spite of this, not due to it.
This is bait right?
Why survive a hit when you can avoid it?
Do you ghost?

All 4 of my guns are ghost bro.
