Combat or garrison? Most female Marines I know would admit the had no place in combat they just weren't in the same league physically. Garrison I have no problem with them.

>>31190567
Not really. Whatever a woman can do, a man can do better.

>>31190567
depends on where you use them. Using them in Infantry is difficult unless she actually has the condition to drag another soldier a few miles.

There is no reason why they couldn't be part of Tank or Helicopter Crews.

I don't know about "the rest of these" but here's a small imgur gallery with a few.

My mom had a P89. I'd be damned if I had anything to say bad about it.

I shot it, 100's of rounds, not one single issue.
Hell my brand new Glock had to get broken in (FTF) before it'd work right.

Best $300 gun out there.

I shot one of my friend's ruger semi autos. I can't tell you the exact model, but I think it was a P90. Wasn't pretty, and the trigger was nothing to write home about, and of course it was almost as heavy as one of the old smith and wesson all metal autoloaders, but no hiccups while firing and good accuracy. Would I trade in my cz or hk for one? Probably not, but if I had $300 and needed a good, solid handgun I'd look for a used ruger. Oil the gun, run a couple of mags of hot ammo through it and you should be good to go. I absolutely love Ruger's revolvers, so I'm sure you'll love your dorky looking old boat anchor.

I've put about 200 Rds of cheap crap through it so far with no problems going to try out some plus P next.

Gave 250$ for it and 3 clips so I was pretty happy with it even if it's the same age as me.

I'm taking the size as a plus for right now since I'm 6'6" 285 it shouldn't be to CC.

Why the fuck would you want (I said want, not need) a thermal sight when like 99.99999999999% of the time you're gonna be shooting at paper or steel. Like maybe if you were a hunted who liked hunting at night but in that instance wouldn't you want a magnified thermal optic?

Lol thank god the people who buy this shit won't be shooting at anything that moves

Yet the world’s most expensive fighter bomber still doesn’t work properly and may never perform as advertised. That’s not “dezinformatsiya” from Russian “information warfare” specialists. That’s the official opinion of the Pentagon’s top weapons evaluator, Michael Gilmore.

In an Aug, 9 memo obtained by Bloomberg News, Gilmore warned senior Pentagon officials that the F-35 program “is actually not on a path toward success but instead on a path toward failing to deliver” the aircraft’s promised capabilities. He said the program “is running out of time and money to complete the planned flight testing and implement the required fixes and modifications.”

The military testing czar reported that complex software problems and testing deficiencies “continue to be discovered at a substantial rate.” As a result, the planes may fail to track moving targets on the ground, warn pilots when enemy radar systems spot them, or make use of a newly designed bomb. Even the F-35’s gun may not function properly.

Devastating Assessments

The internal Pentagon assessment was just the latest in a long list of devastating critical assessments and development setbacks for the plane. They include repeated groundings of the plane due to fires and other safety issues; the discovery of dangerous engine instability; and helmets that can cause fatal whiplash. The plane even got soundly beaten in a mock engagement with a much older (and cheaper) F-16.

Last year, an article in the conservative National Review argued that “the biggest threat the U.S. military faces over the next few decades is not the carrier-killing Chinese anti-ship ballistic missile, or the proliferation of inexpensive quiet diesel-electric attack subs, or even Chinese and Russian anti-satellite programs. The biggest threat comes from the F-35 . . . For this trillion-dollar-plus investment we get a plane far slower than a 1970s F-14 Tomcat, a plane with less than half the range of a 40-year-old A-6 Intruder . . . and a plane that had its head handed to it by an F-16 during a recent dogfight competition.”

Likening the F-35 to a previous failed fighter jet program, retired Air Force Colonel Dan Ward observed last year, “Perhaps the truly best scenario for the Joint Strike Fighter is for it to follow in the footsteps of the F-22 and provide a combat capability that is irrelevant to actual military needs. That way, when the whole fleet gets grounded because of an unsolvable flaw, the impact on our defense posture would be nil.”

Lockheed’s “Pay-to-Play Ad Agency”

Coming to the program’s defense most recently was military analyst Dan Goure, in the blog of the respected magazine, The National Interest. Goure belittled critics in the Pentagon’s Operational Test and Evaluation Office as “green eyeshade people, like the goblins at Gringott’s in the Harry Potter series.”Unknown

Describing the F-35 as “a revolutionary platform,” he declared, “Its ability to operate undetected in hostile airspace, gathering information and even targeting data on enemy air and ground targets, before launching surprise attacks demonstrates a decisive advantage over existing threat systems. . . . The Joint Strike Fighter test program is making progress at an accelerated rate. More to the point, even before it has completed the rigid performance template laid out by DOT&E, the F-35 has demonstrated capabilities that far exceed any current Western fighter.”

If that reads a bit like a Lockheed-Martin marketing brochure, consider the source. In his article, Goure identified himself only as a vice president of the Lexington Institute, which bills itself as “a nonprofit public-policy research organization headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.”

>is that a famas
>what is a famas?

doesn't look like a good year for /k/ memes

>>31189662
Bullpups are SHIT and the ONLY people who said otherwise were contrararians

If you don't mind a bit of heft, maybe Galil or L85a2. Its kind of hard to get away from ARs nowadays.
I'm kind of curious as how that new Croat gun performs, but we will probably never know.

>misses the entire point of hollowpoints

When Tyronius tries mugging you in an alley and you shoot him in response, you can claim self defense. You don't get to claim self defense for Suzy who darted out into the alley 50 feet behind him and got hit by the rounds exiting Tyronius's body.

Get it now?

volcanic pistol

Winchester 1894. The classic 30-30. It is a joy to shoot, I never realized how much so until recently, even the tactical Asian I was shooting with that day fell in love with it and wanted one.

30-30 is so god damn expensive.

The cost of ammunition for most calibers of lever actions are what has put me off the most

Some people say its a dude in drag. Very well could be, not a bad way to hide your identity.

>>31189193
FAL users do often drag. Hmm.. Now that you say it she does kinda look ripped.

No one cared about me, after I was accidentally outed before DADT was ended.

Female soldier drama is always involving men. So we're immune.

There are a few prudish christfag females that didn't want me looking at them in the deployment showers, field tents, etc. I ignore them.

Might as well be a guy, to the male soldiers.
