Oh boy I fucking hope so I'll sell mine so fast just to get what I paid for it
Who's dick do I have to suck to become a pilot around here?
How do you become a pilot in the Air Force? I'm about to graduate college as an undergrad with an almost perfect gpa. I really don't care what I'd pilot --I just want to pilot something.

Contact an officer recruiter.
>>31838357
You have to join the air force, for starters.
>>31838357
OTS commissions almost get way fewer rated slots than ROTC or Academy. Talk to a recruiter, let him talk you out of it, then ask about enlisting for Army aviation.
/k/ gun projects, what are you currently working on?
>pic related
>>31838063
ive been there. pic related, before and after of my sks that was literally dipped in cosmo.
>current gun project
buying more guns.
>>31838087
I like how your stock turned out. Did you do anything special with the wood?
>>31838063
just a boring ar
>i fear for your carpet
what are some good guns for a Californian?
1911

Ar-15 before new years, then RAW that bitch and have an (almost) free rifle.
G26.
Pic unrelated.
Were German firearms in WWII all they were cracked up to be? I'm not going to Lindybeige it up, but I think it's worth looking into things...
>Kar98k
Functionally nothing special. 5-rnd mag, cock-on-open, short radius notch-and-post sights, 90 degree bolt turn, these are all aspects that are shared by most bolt actions of the time including the Mosin series of rifles, M1903A1, and save for having a 6-rnd mag the Carcano as well. The Swedish Mauser and Arisaka rifles are similar save for being cock-on-close. There's nothing inherently noteworthy about the Kar98k. It of course performed fantastically, but functionally it didn't have anything that put it on another level from what most other nations had going on.
>MP40
The barrel/magazine area is probably farther from the shooter than any other SMG of the time, including the Thompson. Very inefficient in terms of size, save for the fact it has a folding stock, but with that stock folded out (which is the manner in which most people would use the MP40, and rightly so), it's like the opposite of a bullpup. Rather than bringing the barrel and mag closer to the shooter to give the firearm a more compact package along with a longer barrel, it seems to be as far away from the shooter as possible.
Then there's the issue of there being no manual safety except for just some notch cut in the receiver, and no select fire mechanism except on the MP41 which wasn't used nearly as much as the MP40. Both the Thompson and the PPSh-41 have both a manual safety and a select fire switch. The STEN is also select fire, though I can't recall if it had a safety besides the similar receiver notch. The disassembly of the MP40 is also far more complex than either the PPSh-41 or STEN, while I believe it was more expensive to produce than either.
Typically I believe having a faster rate of fire is a double edged sword, but in terms of pistol ammo from a shoulder-fired 8lb+ SMG, I think a higher RPM is more useful than lower one
Progressive designs like the MG-34 and STG-44 make up for that. Both of those guns could be used by a modern Infantry squad and they would be 95% as effective as those equipped with M240/M4

MG42 was a great design that basically defined the modern MMG. FG42 was also a very innovative and neat design.
Some German designs were better than others.
I'm a no gunz lurker, but I've always been interested in military technology. My great uncle was one of the radar developers who eventually worked for IBM back in the day.
This is mostly to militaryfags. Within the next 100 years, do you believe the A-10 will evolve as an effective sub-orbital aerospace combat aircraft if the technology were feasible enough to prototype?
>>31837977
The A-10 is leaving service. The replacement is multiroles. That is the fate of the A-10.
>>31837991
That's not what I've heard.
>>31837993
From whom?
They extended the time of service for Syria. The plan is still to replace it.
Why would anyone bother to "evolve" the A-10? The entire design philosophy is horrifically outdated. PGMs were the last nail in the coffin.
So since it's no longer in existence, what site have you gotten your military photos from primarily? I've been wanting to find somewhere that has all the new photos and videos out there and that community didn't just fucking vanish, I know it.

Alright /k/. I'm 18 and just got my first handgun, I can only open carry legally and I hate the feeling of my bulldog holster because it almost falls off and is uncomfortable as hell.what are your thoughts on thigh holsters? Too tacticool? Post your open carry setup and gimme so recommendations

No. Get a chest rig and some plates, mount a holster on your chest, and wear it around town.
What guns does Chad like?
>>31837575
Glock, HKs, Ak47s, Pretty much anything super mainstream
Glocks, shotguns (12 gauge of course, anything less is for pussies), maybe a mall ninja'd AR if he actually likes guns and doesn't just own a few to try to signal his toughness
>>31837575
these guns
Anyone try the Battle Arms Development stock? I usually use my stocks collapsed because I'm tiny, my concern is how secure it is to the buffer tube.
Actual decent short lightweight stock option, or expensive meme?
>>31837286
Sure. It may be pricy, but it seems like exactly what you want. Do you care that it may not balance out your AR the same way anymore? You should get it if you're ok with that.
I'd strongly advise against it unless you are Squid size.
I had an Ace Entry stock and it's preposterously tiny.
>>31837541
5'5"
I was also looking at the MFT Minimalist stocks and just keeping it short as well, but this looked neat for an extra $15
Innawoods Thread - Bug Out Bag/Get Home Bag Edition:
Go to https://innawoods.net/
Only use items that are in your actual BOB or GHB, or whatever supplies from the game come closest to your actual supplies.
If you don't have an actual bag put together IRL, just make one based on the stuff on your BOB shopping list.
Post your results and let other Anons judge your bag and give you suggestions!
OP here. Also feel free to post your IRL bag alongside your bag you made in the game.

You definitely don't want glow sticks in your bag. I use them for fun/novelty camping and they fail in comparison to just using a flashlight.
What's the best semi-auto pistol to buy for SHTF race war or Hillary chimp out against Russia? I'm talking the simplest possible gun with as few parts as possible and shoots the most commonly available ammo (I'd assume it's 9mm but don't know for sure). Basically, a simple gun with a stellar reputation for reliability.
>>31837100
Glock 17/19

Grew tired of my 2-tone P938 and sold it to buy a Sig P938 "Extreme." In my opinion, the P938 is the best subcompact pistol on the market. It's pocketable, based on the 1911, looks badass, feels great in the hand, has tritium sights, shoots like a full-sized pistol, it's 9mm, and has a lifetime warranty.
Is there a better pistol for concealed carry? I certainly can't think of one.
Opinions? Suggestions?
>>31836888
>has tritium sights
I used to think this was a good thing until I realized Trijicon HD's are the best tritium sights and you're just spending extra money for a meh front.
I would get the standard 3 dot ones and replace the sights with X-Rays since it is a Sig tbqh.
>>31836965
Thanks for the suggestion. I honestly didn't even know about either of those sights. They seem really nice, I'll have to look into them.
What are you drinking?
