So I thought of this idea when I was a house painter 2 summers ago, has anything close to this ever been tried before? Any other environmental survival suit ideas?

Thousand yard stare, what causes it?
the VC
>>31382592
Seeing something that is so horrific, so disgusting, so grotesque that it stays with you your entire life. Like your mum naked.
when you have to use irons at the 1000 yard range and you get really good then forever after you have the 1000 yard stare then you become a Devil Doge

So Russians are still in the 90's and are using gun based CIWS, which first world nations such as Australia and France have moved out of and into missile and laser based CIWS.
Is there any point (defense lol) in fielding guns for ship defense?
guns might be... cheaper?
There really isn't much advantage to autocannon-based CIWS over missiles. Missiles are super-accurate and out-range guns by miles, and with the advent of active guidence, more than 1 missile can be fired at a single target at once.
So, no. Guns are old and gay, despite what vatniks will tell you.
you really have no idea what you are talking about, do you
>>31382590
because a gun will fucking tear shit to shreds if missiles or lasers (which there is only one of, and it's american) fail for whatever reason
not even vatnik, how retarded are you to say that gun-based ship defense wouldn't be a good idea? are you the same faggot who says it would be better to field every soldier with rockets?
Has America ever fought in a more physically challenging environment than Afghanistan.
>Around half the country is over 10,000 feet
>Steep mountains

>100lb+ of shit to be accurate
>Patrols a dozen miles long are a daily expectation
>Despite altitudes temperatures are in high 80s to 90s during the summer

What else am I missing?

Do they know how many people froze to death?
>>31382501
Well, it IS bad but dont forget that you can bring supplies via helo.
That being said, Afghanistan is prime country for elite units. You have the long, hars conditions where their training really makes the difference. Also Afghanistan is sniper wonderland. If you are a sniper or DMR you really can show what you've learned
hello /k/ommandos. idiot europoor here with another question. so i was browsing imgur earlier and a post said "if god carried a weapon it would be a 1911" or something pretty close to that. my question is why? after all this time why is the 1911 pistol held in such high regard by gun fans? did they nail the design/function/etc with this weapon, or is it just rose coloured glasses? thanks bros.
>>31382174
it's got a really good trigger.
'Cause it's fuckin' cool. Don't you dare question America.
t. totally not a 1911 that's developed sentience and begun using a laptop.
Two World War victories and seeing action in countless other conflicts gets a gun a reputation.
People here can argue all they want about 9mm vs .45, but if given the chance to shoot a charging Jap with a Colt, we'd all take it.
My friend found this knife in the Fraser river in Canada today. It was found by the Mission part of the river she said.
Any info on this thing would be appreciated.
Found a kirpan. Congrats.
looks like an old skinner
try to get better pics of the blade, if there are stamps, then you'll know it's probably < 50 years old.

I have been saving up $2000 for the last 3 years to rent my own apartment and buy a shotgun and handgun for CC'ing and home defense.
But in my junior of college I have to pay $3000 out of pocket because my school no longer accepts a grant I've been given.
Can we get a /k/ feels thread going?
>Russians taking prisoners

So if you were in charge of a third world country or a post apocalyptic civilization and you had no access to expensive equipment such as tanks, jets, and ships.
All you've got to work with are small arms, civilian vehicles, and small civilian aircraft and boats. Any bombs and vehicles have to be improvised.
What does your army look like?
>>31381951
A somali miltia.
75mm long AT guns plastered over trucks
the trucks and guns cost less than the ammo used to kill them and odds are there are survivours because no encacement

Can someone explain to me why the HMS Hood was considered the "Pride of the Royal Navy" at the time of her sinking? And for that matter, why was she so feared across the world?
The British fleet had faster ships. She had much newer ships, much more heavily armored ships, and ships with much more firepower. The Hood on the other hand was beginning to show her age, and was not sufficiently large to even classify as a battleship.
Furthermore, she was a bit of an ugly ship. Or at least, she wasn't any more impressive than any other capital ship.
So what's the big deal about her? Why did Brits love her so much?
>>31381720
Same reason they love gun control.
They're fucking idiots.
Holy shit, that is the worst colorized black and white photo I've ever seen. It literally looks like a retard just took a can of spray paint to it.
>>31381732
FPBP. Brits are fucking stupid. They threatened war with Finland for not surrendering to the USSR.
Are there any new yorkers on this board? How the fuck do I buy a gun here?
You don't.
hes right you know
>>31381701
Find a drug dealer.
Otherwise if you wanna be a cuck about it, I bet the dudes working at a gun shop would be able to walk you through the process.
Ok, so im looking at a CMMG MK4 T for about 600$. No one seems to really talk around me too too much about them. Are they decent quality? How do they compare to windham or BM? Im between buying one or just getting a lower from them maybe. Help me /k/
