Not sure if this is the right board, fyi in advance...
Anyone know of some good resources to learn lockpicking? Not sure I want to order a kit off Amazon, but we might be at the point where the "lists" don't matter anymore.
Thoughts?
ask /diy/
or get into locksmithing
But /diy/ is your best bet
Polite sage
Former locksmith tech here
Get a pic kit and work on one of your doors, or a spare doorknob. (attach it to a block of wood, cutter kits at lowes/home depot for $20)
watch youtube videos to learn basic technique
the key (lol) to getting good at picking is using the right pressure on your tension wrench
and once youve gotten a few different locks picked and feel confident with your ability
get a pick gun because its a billion times easier/faster
$50 for a good one (google locksmith pickgun)
dont get pulled over and let them find your kit you can get arrested for it.
good luck

This. You'll feel the tumblers stay up if you're doing it right. Once you get that down you can just rake it in a handful of seconds on 95% of locks.
War stories thread?
Personal, passed down, or famous stories
This 6' 4" goober strolled into Belgrade with 6 men and took the town with the only casualty being one of his men suffering a sprained wrist from tripping.

Andranik Ozanian: Armenian war hero, killed a lot of ottomans
My grandfather was drafted when he was an all A's engineering student at Brown University. He threw a grenade into a German MG nest and killed three men. He drank himself half way to death over it and the pinnacle of his career was being a parts manager at a Ford dealership.
War is hell.

military skunkworks are fun to speculate on.
but it really comes down to lighter composites, faster engines, bigger booms.
if your interested in this just start looking into what the various professors of physics are up to around the nation.

Why are hikers such fags? I would never give myself a trail name.

Kek. No shit.
I always wanted to hike the Appalachian Trail, but then I met some people who had and the thought of spending five or six months with people like that made me change my mind.

I hazily remember my friend daring me to swallow a 45 HST during a drunken stupor.
I woke up this morning to find my FN45 magazine is missing a round.
Am I going to be ok?

Is it going to give me lead poisoning?
Is it going to fucking go off???

What are the alternate propulsion mechanisms on a carrier if the main engine blows its head gasket? Is there rigging on the island to put up sails? Are there portholes along the water to lay down oars and row?
>>31716486
yes
>>31716486
>carrier
>engine gasket
Also they sent ships out to tow it back and bomb a random sand country
>>31716512
so are you saying if there are no other ships the carrier can't limp back into port?

S-500 will be in service before MALD reaches IOC champ :^)
>>31716478
MALD is already fielded and there is nothing S-500 can do to counter it.
>>31716460
>S400 never used properly
>all the new shit from the americans havent being used properly
>gunfags in a Taiwanese spear stone table exchange site thinks they know about them by watching a video on youtube

Maybe they stopped selling a model you like, or their quality control went down, or their prices went up. Just name the reason
What brands do you have a problem with?
Baikal.
One of my favorite manufacturers and they're banned from import simply because "Durty Cummies tryna' destroy 'murica."
I want a fucking Viking, damnit.

My mom made me go to a counselor in high school and he diagnosed me with minor depression because that's what those fags do, and now it's stuck on my record.
How fucked am I when trying to join?
I'm the 3rd year college student from the last thread looking to do Army OCS
Is it possible for me to try to do BCT this summer and then once I graduate go to OCS?
Dropped out of HS in junior year because I hated school. Took a long time to start getting my shit together, but finally (a year later) I started taking my GED tests and plan to finish that soon. After that my next intention is to enlist in the US Navy in a computer-based job.

R. Lee Ermy is a pogue who has never seen combat.
In before someone posts Chris Costa.
I took one of his classes. He told me quietly during a lunch break that he doesn't know how to swim.
How the fuck can you anons be impressed with a guy who can't even swim?
>>31716750
lol
He wouldn't have gotten in the CG if he didn't know.
Any aspiring LEO's here?
I'm supposed to start my academy here in novemeber - it's for cook county corrections.
I have to buy my own gear for the most part (uniform is compensated ) and I'm wondering what gun you guys wen't with, are going with or just want to get even if you're NOT a LEO.
I'd go with a Glock 19 because it's the Thinkpad of pistols
>>31716014
Best advice I can give is to speak to other LEOs in your area and find out what handgun, flashlight, etc. most of them seem to be using.
Pick something similar so you can use the same magazines and batteries should you run out in a hairy situation for whatever reason.
