>Russia is in many ways a weak country. Its leadership has a strong sense of encirclement - a view that the West is only eager to do it down - and, rightly or wrongly, this is driving Mr Putin's more assertive approach.

How would you avoid being fucked by arrows in the past and what are the best ways to protect from them ?
Ancient warfare thread.

Mail and plate armor, mantlets.
Use a big shield

Would the arrow pearce the shield
How do we weaponize the air?
Air bullets?
well, they invented gas masks for a reason...
>>31831109
Poison gas masks to convert air to poison?
Inna forest fishing by bank, hear rustling

15 rounds of hard cast 10mm to the head. Hopefully he thinks it is a swarm of bees stinging him and wanders off to find honey.

Shoot it. If I'm not within arms reach of my rifle for whatever reason (I wouldn't be) then I grab my forest axe off my pack, if that's out of reach then I go for my knife on my belt, if I don't have that for whatever reason I crab a decent rock hopefully with a sharp corner, if it's a sandy river bank and not a rocky one then I put as much sand in my pockets as possible then pocket sand the son of a bitch.
>>31830782
Well i have a great pyr, and bears hate them.
So either stand my ground and see if it pussys out, or shoot it if it keeps coming.

Hi /k/, a newfag here and I've came for an advisement from you, today my girlfriend got harassed by a fucking creep who even followed her to home, I want to go with her to some kind of martial arts course but I'm too retarded to know which is better for her, she is 5ft 2in tall and kinda overweight. I will be very grateful if you help me, it pisses me off that she is defenseless over this kind of situations.
Also I'm in México, so I can't into guns.
>>31830030
>Kinda overweight
Post obese GF's tiddies
She can't beat any man under 60 with any amount of training. Unless she loses that weight and trains in short distance sprints, she's pretty much food. Martial arts classes will only give her a false sense of security. Men are literally 2x stronger than woman under normal conditions (upper body).
Just try to spend more time with her so she doesn't get rekt in the streets. As a man, it is your duty to protect your woman.
>>31830030
>it pisses me off that she is defenseless over this kind of situations.
Thats called being a woman, friendo. Like the other anon said, even some older dudes could push her shit in. Get her some mace or gun, it's Mexico, who gives a shit.
AR faggots actually put balls on their queer little rifles. Does it get any worse than this?
>$70 to put black nutsacks you can grab on your mall ninja AYE ARGH FIFTEEN

You tell me....

What early self-loading handgun had the most influence on the ergonomics of future designs?
>>31829921
Browning shit, hands down. Becoming standard issue will do that. 1911, hi-power, 190X, etc.
Early self-loading handguns are my aesthetic!

Was enjoying some beers and went down a rabbit hole of naval conspiracy theories. Started reading about K-129 and how it might have been a rogue launch, then the Israeli and French sub losses, and the Robert Gates presenting the bell of K-129 to the Russians in the 90's, which the CIA supposedly didn't recover.
Any other fun Cold War black operations stuff? Or more info on the USS Scoripan/K-129?
>>31829915
A Russian ship just snapped a CIA cable over the Norwegian fjord.
Operation Ivy Bells
>Despite these obstacles, the potential for an intelligence coup was considered too great to ignore, and in October 1971 the United States sent the purpose-modified submarine USS Halibut (SSGN-587) deep into the Sea of Okhotsk. Divers working from the Halibut found the cable in 400 ft (120 m) of water and installed a 20 ft (6.1 m) long device, which wrapped around the cable without piercing its casing and recorded all communications made over it. The large recording device was designed to detach if the cable was raised for repair.
>The tapping of the Soviet naval cable was so secret that most sailors involved did not have the security clearance needed to know about it. A cover story was thus created to disguise the actual mission: It was claimed that the spy submarines were sent to the Soviet naval range in the Sea of Okhotsk to recover the Soviet SS-N-12 Sandbox supersonic anti-ship missile (AShM) debris so that countermeasures could be developed.
>Although created as a cover story, this mission was actually carried out with great success: U.S. Navy divers recovered all of the SS-N-12 debris, with the largest debris no larger than 6 inches, and a total of more than 2 million pieces. The debris was taken back to the U.S. and the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory reconstructed the AShM based on these pieces, and at least one sample was also reverse engineered.
>Each month, divers retrieved the recordings and installed a new set of tapes. The first tapes recorded revealed that the Soviets were so sure of the cable's security that the majority of the conversations made over it were unencrypted. The eavesdropping on the traffic between senior Soviet officers provided invaluable information on naval operations at Petropavlovsk, the Pacific Fleet's primary nuclear submarine base, home to Yankee and Delta class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines
I recently rewatched Black Lagoon, and the early episode with the sunken U-boat reminded me of a book I'd read years ago about a sunken German sub that had been recently found somewhere off the American coast, but I can't for the life of me remember what U-designation it was.
Anyone know what I might be talking about?

So I live in California and I'm trying to buy a Jericho 941 by it seems as if I can't from a dealer or buy one online. Can any of y'all help me out with any suggestions on how I should go about this?
Illegally buying one out of state and importing it over state lines is the only way you're going to get one.
PS it's a federal felony.
>>31829494
That law got struck down but ATF appealed it and we're waiting to see what happens.
if you have a father or mother out of state they can get you one and send it to you. if you have a sister or brother in another state and parents in California the sibling sends to the parent and the parent gives to you
