Question for you /k/
How much did the crazy training the spartans went through really matter in the end? Obviously being raised since birth for war they would be stronger, more resilient to pain, more willing to fight or die that sort of thing. But in their time battles were basically just huge numbers of men slugging it out or using different formations. I can see them being more effective in a one on one fight but feel like alot of that would be null when you've got two walls of sheilds just crashing into each other. So was it worth it/effective to train soldiers in this way or better to just raise a giant army of whoever you can?

I think you seriously underestimate how insane combat was back then.
Anyways we're still talking about the Spartans so they did something right.
>>31156904
You think brute strenght and discipline don't matter in a wall versus wall battle ?
>>31156904
You are ignorant of field battle. It takes a lot of discipline to maintain your composure when flesh is being carved away from bones.
A Spartan can get speared then fight on with ferocity. A Persian of anyone else would get wounded and flee.
Who would you want fighting for you?
Non-american here.

I finally got around to watching it and oh my fucking God was it good.
Like I knew it was going to be good with how its borderlining a meme here, but God damn I was not expecting that.
Is it wrong at all that out of everything to praise about it my favorite part far and wide was that amazing score, like no joke I literally cried during the credits because of the music was so good.
Based Sicario video game when?

The only other non war movie/show of the same calibure I've seen would have to be True detective.

Ok /k/, let's play a game.
2017, France.
Extreme right wing wins the election. Sandniggers in the suburbs go insane because they realize whities don't want to recogize the cultural enrichment they represent for all of them.
They decide to adhere to panislamic theories, and since there are plenty of illegal weapons in the suburbs thanks to drug traffic, shit hits the fan.
You are white, you live in the countryside in a small hamlet of a few houses, surrounded by pastures and woods.
There is only one road to access the hamlet and you are in the last house, so that if assailants come to the hamlet (for example to requisit cattle), they would maybe stop at the first house and so you will be able to engage them at about 300 / 400m.
You have a watersource, a generator, a big garden providing you fruit and vegetables. You have cattle thanks to one of your neighbor.
Only one of your neighbor have a gun, a 12g hunting shotgun with 2 shots.
What gun do you need (being illegal or not in France) to protect the small community composed of your family and your neighbors?
Buy a deactivated Ak my frog friend
The trigger group and chamber are intacts it is possible to reactivate it.
If the french ones are too screwed up buy a spanish or italian one
Get a few mags and a reloading bench for 7,62
You must procure an enemy weapon eventually. The problem is if you get one will you know how to use it properly? Figure out the AK. Get a crossbow and learn anatomy because you are going to need a well placed shot from concealment or cover would be even better. Have multiple escape routes, be physically fit. Learn about poison if possible, rubbing shit or a tobacco paste on the bolt. Leave the enemy poisoned food. Ambush with a knife in the toilet if you think you can do it like that. Make a homemade weapon with a pipe and gunpowder. Good luck cousin.
Get a 3d printer and .22 long rifle rounds/parts
go to the dark web if you need
When is Remington going to get on board an start free floating the 700? We're not in the 60s anymore.

They are the epitome of a company that rested on their laurels for far too long, and should rightfully be punished for it.
>>31156682
Oh, I'm not considering it. I bought I Remington when I was 18 (my first gun) and it was awful. I sold it to a pawn shop and now own a Winchester M70, the rifleman's rifle now and always.

Pick zero.
Why is it so hard for these faggots to make a 92 with a frame mounted safety that isn't some sort of snowflake limited edition?
Because we have angered God, and this is our penance.
>>31156583
because it's better that way, at least for this gun.
>>31156583
>Why is it so hard for these faggots to make a 92 with a frame mounted safety that isn't some sort of snowflake limited edition?
Taurus did it. The real question, why the fuck can't every M92 be a fucking G variant and why did they discontinue the Vertec grips?
My Son loves History and His birthday is coming up, He's turning 18 and I want to get him a Historic Gun. He really loves WW1 and WW2 so I thought the Lee Enfield Mk 3 SMLE is a good choice, what does /k/ think?
>>31156558
I think... you're a pretty good dad?
Not a bad choice, id recommend something that fires a more affordable cartridge.
>>31156558
Phenomenal choice.
Also that pic is of an Ishapore .308, not a SMLE.
Just make sure he buys his own ammo because .303 is stupidly expensive now.
So I need some advice.
I understand a lot of people make shit up, but im not. I met a very wealthy girl from europe via penpal service, and she did something stupid shit to try to impress me.
Screen caps of the conversation, read em, the explanation of my reaction, then tell me if I covered my ass or not.
Pic unrelated.

Realistically, how plausible is it to use the same design base for a semi-automatic shotgun and rifle?
There are AK and AR shotguns, so yes.
>>31156435
Works for Saigas.
>>31156435
Assault rifles are much more complex than shotguns, as long as you're turning a rifle into a shotgun that's relatively easy.
Turning a shotgun into an automatic rifle is less easy, although that depends largely on what kind of shotgun it is. It's easy to downgrade something, upgrading is the hard part.
alright lads, heres a scenario: while stationed at an embasy in some god forsaken shithole in the middle east and youre taken hostage. Which SF unit do you want to rescue you?

Jesus, those prices are insane.

Even as a Canadian I find this shit is ridiculous. This is what they get for all that shitposting.
Is it legit?
bumo
No. Don't go there.
>>31156533
Any reason?
Considering buying one of these as a curiosity.
How foolish would it be?
Enjoy the wobble
There is no point. If it's not full auto, then it's a big, heavy, doubly expensive G21 (or G17) that has questionable reliability.
Literally, WHY?
As an SBR, there are way better options in that category.
Buy it if you really like it but I would rather have a number of other guns before that.
>>31156235
Honestly just looking for something else I can use my 45acp in since I'm tired of always buying different kinds of food and I want something new to shoot. I'm also garbage with non-revolver pistols so it's kind of a half compromise.
Took a deeper look and they are a bit more expensive new than I would have expected.
You finally have your gun to the head of someone who you've always wanted to kill and are going to get away with it with no legal repercussions. what do you say before pulling the trigger
Goodnight sweat pants

Hello guys and gals! after roughly 5 years my get home/edc bag is starting to wear out, and I was wondering what would you recommend as a replacement pack? I was using the condor tactical sling bag but I'm thinking of returning to the more traditional back pack. any suggestions? i need something that can handle a 15in laptop and is rugged enough any ideas are appreciated thanks!

Oh ok.
I use a GoRuck 10L bullet for my EDC. It's invincible *and* has a better warranty than Hi-Point. But no laptop compartment. Get yourself a GR1, anon.

I want to buy a MOLLE II for rucking, but various sites show it going from $50-$200. I don't exactly know what I'm looking for to know what the essential shit to come with the package is, so I'm a little trigger shy on figuring out which one.
