Alright lads and laddies, I'm sure we've all heard about the massive recall for EoTech related glass because "lol optics shifted".
Sans crisis how true is this on new or current models, is this still a thing?
Would anyone still buy EoTech?
>>31750402
>Would anyone still buy EoTech?
no.
get an aimpoint or trijicon if you want something american
Nope. I wouldn't have even before the recall, they had an earned rep for breaking down much more frequently than Aimpoints and ACOGs. Plus they're heavy for what they give and I don't like doing constant battery changes.
>>31750402
I think they look cool and whatnot.
But I still wouldn't own one.
A google search shows that the Nazi's nicknamed the B-17 the Flying Porcupine and the MG-42 was named Hitler's Buzzsaw.
Were there any nicknames for other weapons of war like the P-51 or the T-34?
Almost every plane or major piece of equipment gets a nickname, this continues into the modern day too with for instance the F-16 known as the Lawn Dart and the F-15 known as the Tennis Court.
>>31750381
Do the Russians or Chinese have nicknames for Western aircraft the way NATO does for theirs?

It's an outdated, slow piece of shit that weighs more and is bigger than it needs to be, while offering no advantages over any other round.

Lets play a game
Post your least expensive firearm next to your most expensive
Rules:
1.If it was free then just go off the original value at the time
2. Do not include scopes/modifications/accessories in price, just the original base gun
Or don't what do i care, post your poorgat and richgats! Starting with these two.
>>31750201
Don't have ready access, and I don't remember which one was my most expensive.
>>31750201
Just some hours then I can contribute.
I want to contribute but my guns are sleeping.
Roast me /k/.

Does /K/ have any contingency plans in the event Killary gets elected?
Wait for her to get thrown in jail now that she can not receive a presidential pardon.

I think you mean "when Hillary gets elected". It would take a miracle for Trump to win at this point.

Who put this fucking clown in charge of a SF unit

Wow, times are changing. I had guys in my unit who were attached to an ODA in Trashcanistan tell me stories of the SF dudes telling full bird Colonels to fuck off and literally did whatever they wanted.

It sounds crazy until you realize that the Zumwalt is already pretty close to being that size. The age of giant warships is coming back very soon.

What will France do with all its FAMASs when it replaces them with the HK416? For example, I believe they sold off their MAS-49s as surplus. Will the same thing happen?
Nobody bought the FAMAS when they made it available back in the 80s or whatever [and obviously now they go for obscene prices], so I'd imagine they'll just junk them.
I'd imagine many of them are pretty beat up, too. Didn't the factory that made them close down back in the early 2000s?
>>31749717
>What will France do with all its FAMASs
Designate them as their training drop rifles to save wear on the Hk-416's
>>31749717
No. They're only going to be destroyed.
what's it like to get shot while wearing a vest? is it like a punch to the gut? how many rounds do vests actually tolerate before you start becoming swiss cheese? surely if there's a big firefight and you start taking rounds you aren't really gonna just keep standing and shooting right?
>>31749682
unless your armor is top of the line ultra exotic expensive and has state of the art trauma backers you're going to feel some pain but newton's 2nd law still recedes over getting shot. FYI shotguns with birdshot buck shot are your worst foe simply becuase the spread is so hard to protect against with armor systems.
>>31749757
damn i was worried about that. would running towards a shooter help lower the spread? i know it sounds autistic but i'd rather look dumb than shred my arms and legs.
>>31749807
Honestly it might
I'm not the other dude, but I think logically being closer to the base of the spread would minimize your chance of catching a pebble that spread wide in an unarmored area, but it would be a harsher impact on your chest/gut
I imagine it's similar to getting hit by a car doing 25mph, but in a focused area
Ok /k/. Riddle me this. I am in no way anti-gun. Everyone should be able to own whatever tool they feel they need. I, however, no not own a single firearm. I live in a very safe place. There was maybe one or two break ins, maybe one murder in the past ten years in the entire town. I leave my doors unlocked. I have no desire to hunt. Why should *I* buy a gun? Can you think of any purpose, other than it being a relatively expensive toy?
>>31749674
It's better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it.
Also they're fun as fuck.
>>31749674
Varmits? It's your basic human right?
>>31749674
Look nobody is forcing you to buy one, if you honestly don't find them all that fun to enjoy and you don't think you'll need one ever for any reason, don't get one. Better to have it and not need it and all that jazz though.
Anyone else sleep in their gear waiting for habbening?
Who else comfy.
>>31749654
I don't sleep with my gear, but I do keep my pistol and rifle right next to my bed.
You have a nice nipple anon, it's a good size.
Sometimes....I like to think I'll need to wear it for a few days at a time. And being in bed with it is the most comfortable place. If I couldn't sleep in it there I most likely couldn't in some muddy hole.
I've been known to sleep with a mosin pouch equipped and a balacalva.
Why are some people naturally skilled at shooting?
>>31749546
Lower heart rate, either through genetics or getting up out of your chair and actually doing something other than shitpost on a laotian palynology forum
Because they practiced the fundamentals for a long, long time until they could practically do it in their sleep.
