South Africa with less coastline.
Liked by Naziboos, because most people are familiar with Apartheid, but not Rhodesia. Security through obscurity.
Dear combat veterans of /k/. Those of you who got to fight in two different theaters, Iraq and Afghanistan. Questions; What was differences and similarities to the Iraqi Insurgent and Taliban boy? Which country did you prefer to fight in? Which one made you scared? How does it feel to have fought in 2 different countries?
Any other insight is welcomed.
>>31905888
Nice trips, this is gonna be a good thread.
>>What was differences and similarities to the Iraqi Insurgent and Taliban boy?
The "Iraqi insurgent" was a fucking coward. Straight fucking coward
>Be on patrol in the triangle
>Out of nowhere truck comes Tokyo drifting from the desert and engage us
>Engage back
>Monkey boy fired like 10 rounds at us and drove back where he came from
>Request to go after him
>"Aw fuck him hes probably wounded we lit him the fuck up"
>2 minutes later he comes right back shoots at us again
>Engage
>Drives away
>FUCK THAT LETS GO AFTER HIM
>"Screw it"
>Find the car abandoned with intact PKM
>What a waste, and we'll probably get shot at him again
At least the Taliban will fight us to the death instead of running like a bunch of pussys.
>>31905930
>>Find the car abandoned with intact PKM
Do they just abandon weapons like that?
>>31905888
Iraq always scared me more than Afghanistan. For me Afghanistan felt like a nature walk 70% of the time. Iraq was just any window could be a sniper, or any shitty dirt corner could be a 30 pound IED. Whole houses and just gravel up in the air smacking you in the face or whatever. Fuck that.

Air Force to brief industry on defensive laser development for F-22, F-35 and PCA

The Air Force next month plans to brief industry on a new project to ready a speed-of-light defensive weapon for the F-22A Raptor, the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter as well as a planned follow-on fighter capability in an effort that aims to demonstrate a prototype laser pod as soon as 2021.
On Dec. 6, the Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland Air Force Base, NM, will outline for industry plans for the "upcoming" acquisition, the Laser Advancements for Next-generation Compact Environments (LANCE), according to a notice published on Federal Business Opportunities Oct. 25.
"The objective of the [briefing] is to provide a timely update to the government-contractor community on the mission and vision of the LANCE project," according to the notice.
The LANCE project -- led by the lab's laser division of the Directed Energy Directorate -- is intended to support a larger project: the Self-Protect High Energy Laser Demonstrator (SHiELD) advanced technology demonstration program. The SHiELD demonstration aims to find a way to make a laser, powered by tens of kilowatts of electricity, function effectively at supersonic speeds by demonstrating system performance under stressing aerodynamic conditions.
Earlier this year, the Air Force asked industry for feedback on its idea for a LANCE project, soliciting "information on industry's capability to advance electrically driven lasers suitable for compact airborne application in an aerodynamic integrated pod-like structure carried on 5th- and 6th-generation tactical aircraft."
I live within a few miles of the Virginia coastline. If nuclear war happened, aside from hijacking a boat and fleeing out to sea, I'm pretty muched fucked, as this would be a massively targeted area. If I were to flee to the appalachain mountains to the western part of the state, hiw much protection would it provide from the nuclear fallout? Would the elevation even matter?
>>31905828
>if nuclear war happened
You have literally nothing to worry about.
If Hillary gets elected, I need to come up with some kind of budget shelter plan. A filter mask, some iodine, idk. I live in a brick house, maybe put some cookie pans in the attic because fuck it why not. Maybe some mylar sheets to drop over the roof? A bunch of water and food. I don't know, if Hillary gets elected we're going to die.
Please vote.

This looks like someone's first failed experiment with watercolors.
Does the Norinco ban outright ban all Norinco products after the ban went into effect from being imported, even privately from another country? Or does it just affect direct importation by Norinco into the US market?
>>31905822
>Or does it just affect direct importation by Norinco into the US market?
this
the only norinco being imported to the us currently would be iac shotguns
>>31905840
So theoretically you could buy a Norinco product in Canada and bring it into the United States? Or would that violate the ban somehow?
>>31905883
If this is legal I should set up as an importer and just buy dozens of Type 97s in BC to sell here.
How are Anderson Complete Lowers? Any good? Is their "no-lube" gimmick legit or bunk?
>>31905694
I got an anderson lower and a PSA upper and it rattles a lot.
I also have an RRA lower and a del-ton upper and it's been rock solid for years with zero rattle.
Other than that, I couldn't point to any tangible difference.
Lowers experience literally zero stress and 95% of all AR15 lowers on the market come from the exact same factory because it's all outsourced to one place.
Buy whatever's cheapest and made out of metal and there's no difference.
>>31905694
it's a lower
lube it anyway
/K/ I HAVE INVENTED A WEAPON THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE MODERN WARFARE FOREVER. IT'S ZEPPELIN LIKE VEHICLE WITH TWO MACHINE GUNS ATTACHED TO THE BACK AND A GIGANTIC VENT BELOW THAT SPEWS OUT TOXIC CHEMICAL GAS! IMAGINE THIS SHIT HOVERING OVER YOUR TOWN! FEAR MY GENIUS!

newfag here. should i go 9mm or .40cal for my first gun?
40 cal because it's cheaper
>>31905642
Oh boy you are new
9mm
>>31905642
I have a glock 27 I carry.
I have a glock 19 I like to shoot.
We always talk about Infantry SF but who are the global Operaters who Operate in Armor? Is their such a thing as a nation who has a special type of Tank crew that could be considered Operator tier?
>>31905498
No, you sit in a steel box and shoot shit, usually in a group.
You see, "Special Operations" is a term for operations that are separate from conventional warfare in some way.
This typically means things like raids, reconnaissance, and other small scale actions.
An armored crewman is almost certainly going to be involved in a large scale conventional engagement.
>>31905498
Titan pilots yes
Here's a hypothetical for everybody to discuss in what I'm sure will be a rational, well thought manner
So, hypothetically, you're a nogunz, new AWB goes into place and you can only buy bolt/pump/lever action rifles and shotties. Let's go hard mode too and say no handguns period.
So what guns do you buy for the brewing civil war when restricted to these categories
you dont buy shit in a warzone
you loot the bodies
>>31905413
>implying there wont be private sales
Ar15, 90's rem 700, g17, 590a1
I break the law
Went through a firearms training coarse, gonna apply for LTC, considering this for my first gun since it's around or sub $300
Good idea or no? I'm a fucking poorfag by the way.
For non-pistol shit I was considering a Stevens 320.
>>31905332
Get an LCP II instead.
>>31905332
To be honest OP get whatever gun you like. These days they are all good. S&W is great. I personally own a glock 43 but I'd have no problem getting that gun and if it fits your budget go for it.
I am looking at getting a Ruger LCP for .380
>>31905384
Not State compliant, as fucktarded as that is. LC9 is, though.
>>31905412
Good advice, thanks.
So through the joy of the shooting sports I discovered I have astigmatism. I bought a "fieldsport" red dot to attach to my new AR to try one out (I've only ever shot with iron sights) and was surprised to see two red dots instead of one when looking through it. So let me ask, what is a good optic for an individual who has astigmatism?

>>31905283
give up on reddots
irons or a scope
>>31905283
Prism scopes.
PA offers used (mounted never fired) and blems deeply discounted on their official eBay page. I picked up a 5x for $190, while they usually retail $290.
A 2.5x compact prism (PAC2.5X) will run you $159, and has an etched illuminated optic. Apparently people with astigmatism fair better using prism optics.
>>31905393
been thinking about the primary arms 2.5x compact scope. Is it true prism scopes help with astigmatism?
>flipping through my sample ballot after filling it
>glance at the question 1 information page
>look at the sources
>9 of them are from Everytown for Gun Safety
>mfw I want to fucking kill myself as I'm reading this shit
Question 1 is going to pass, isn't it?
Nevada here too. All of my family is strongly against question 1 and there are a couple "vote no" signs in my neighborhood at least
I'm more worried about question 5 with all the effort they went through to plaster the signs fucking everywhere and silence the opposition
>>31905172
It better not. I didn't move across the country just to have this state turn to shit.
On the plus side I keep seeing "Vote No on 1" signs and haven't seen anyone that supports it, though I'm a far drive from Vegas so I don't know what people think down there.
>>31905172
We Cali transplants bring the best kind of common sense gun control. Civilize yourself
