1) That didn't happen.
2) Even if it were true, Desert Storm was a turkey shoot that lasted less than 72 hours.
Why can't americans fight real wars with actual equipment? I don't understand this obsession with pretending you have the best military in the world despite never fighting any wars.
So long story short I signed up for penpal program and been writing back and forth to several girl most in russia but a few in US got to one one in US pretty good she is in my state too and we got close enough to trade emails finally, well she want to meet up pretty bad and stop the long distance stuff. she email me her photo attach here oh yes forgot to mention she is into weapon and said she even visit /k forum a lot too i didnt tell her i come here due to hide power level. anyway for first meet just in case of scam should i carry a gun or not? id like to have at least a conceal pistol on me in case it was a catfish and tried to rob me or whatever

Hey, I have an opportunity to purchase a FN 49. From my preliminary finger fucking it seems to be an 8mm Mauser Egyptian contract that was re arsenaled, most likely by Century, around the 80's.
Does anyone have any experience with these firearms? From what I've read it seems that the Egyptians didn't inspect the gas systems so that's a place to scrutinize. Also sometimes Century would build them as parts rifles, anything I should look for to tell me that's it's a matching rifle?
The only reason that I'm considering it is because I found a matching scope, still in the box, at another LGS and I would love to put them together to make one sexy old battle rifle.
Finally, what would you guys think an average price would be? I've seen them range from $400-$1000+ on gunbroker.
Thanks in advance
Shameless self promotion with stolen Google pictures.
>>31035771
>Does anyone have any experience with these firearms?
Yes. Remember that the gas is adjustable (but hidden) and that you're best off starting low & working your way up until it's reliable. Not the other way around.
I'd also suggest replacing the firing pin if it's an original. Old & abused ones could potentially get stuck and go full retard. Something you generally don't want if you don't expect it in 8mm Mauser...
>The only reason that I'm considering it is because I found a matching scope, still in the box, at another LGS and I would love to put them together to make one sexy old battle rifle.
AFAIK all SAFNs were produced "scope ready". Belgian and Luxembourg rifles in .30-06 will be more accurate, but Egyptians should do fine, as long as you realize what you're buying.
>Finally, what would you guys think an average price would be? I've seen them range from $400-$1000+ on gunbroker.
No clue, I'm not american.
But it's the last elegant war rifle. It's also has very interesting history. If you want I'll consider writing a tl;dr later.
I know it gets memed on pretty badly (probably rightly so) for the engine and power system failures but if the RN manage to fix it will it be any good?

What do you guys keep in your BOB's and Go Bags respectively.
BOB's I'm thinking are the more lightweight ones that you would be able to carry and move with.
Go Bags are the larger ones you will throw in your truck with your BOB which will have more equipment in.
Is it worth having both? And if so how do your two bags differ it is it simply you have more stuff in your Go Bag that you can resupply your BOB with?
>>31031553
I don't do the BOB/go bag thing. I'm more set up with an EDC bag in my work truck and a GHB in my personal truck.
My EDC is intended to get me to my GHB, which gets me home.
I don't think a go bag is so much for restocking a BOB as it's for expanding on BOB capabilities. You load what you need into your BOB, maybe empty a few unnecessaries out of your BOB at the same time. Then, if need be, you cache the go bag and keep on going.
>>31031553
I'm a pretty experienced backpacker, getting into prepping. I've got a 75L deuter that I love, but I'm looking for something smaller and more versatile as a BOB. Anyone have good experience with a particular model/brand?
Stupid question,but what gun grease do you guys use?
I've been using this crappy stuff I bought arbitrarily at my LGS and now it's gone bad so looking to get some new more quality stuff
Are you actually retarded? Don't use grease on your guns and how did you manage to make grease go bad? Just use gun oil.
>>31028426
i use lubriplate grease on my triggers and inner bolts and royal purple gun oil on everything else.
>>31028426
I only use grease on aluminum frame handguns and then any white lithium grease is fine. I actually use the same spray can stuff as I use on my motorcycle drive chain.
would china even stand a chance?
i give each 50 50
Yeah Idk. I think russia has a slight edge just because there actually been plunging their hands in the shit since the 80's. The average Russian soldier has been deployed to a foreign land already. I'm not sure of the same can be said for china.
>Tldr: I'll give it to Russia at 60/40
If it goes nuclear Russia wipes China off the face of the Earth, and maybe the US takes an excuse to lob a couple of pot shots at the Three Gorges Dam.
If not, it's interesting, because the PLAN might be able to zerg rush the Russian Navy and overwhelm them through numbers, thus preventing a blockade. If China can maintain ocean trade during wartime, it can't lose.

Literally perfect political jargon, like it came from a fucking robot.
Keep in mind that this is a college level engineering course. I don't see how the fuck anyone expects the retards in my class who are afraid of even thinking about anything that seems more threatening than a pillow to design the next generation of technology.

I live in upstate New York. I don't even have the heart to relay any of the "discussions" I have with these idiots.
I've noticed two things:
1) They know nothing about the subject, have never handled or fired a gun, but when they speak, they possess the utmost certainty.
2) There is no way they could conceive of using guns for anything other than killing living creatures, either animals or people. There's some kind of mental block, similar to when you can't think of the word you want.
idiot: <something about hunting deer with an AR-15 resulting in a pulpy mess>
me: no, the bullet is too weak, most people use larger, more powerful rounds for deer, even whitetail.
idiot: then i guess assault rifles are for hunting people, huh!
me: deer are smaller than adult humans, especially a blimp like yourself.
Yeah I need her(?) reaction to that blimp comment.
Why are glock fanboys so god damn cancerous? Behind the counter cleaning some rentals and these two idiots are drooling over the new glock coming out even though the fucking thing is an ugly brick of a hand gun and applauding that it has no finger grooves. This apparently makes it the "best handgun on the market" and "the army must be fools to not use it now"
>>31022072
Glock attracts insecure people with no self esteem.
Its more a function of the marketing than the gun itself.
>>31022072
I was a jackass anti-Glock person for a long time too. Then I tried to prove they were failures. The only thing I proved / learned was that I denied myself of a reliable firearm for a long time.
Glocks are good to go.
>>31022099
Its worse when they push new gun owners towards a glock or a Kimber when they really need a cheaper P226 or even a CZ. Then they look at me like im the devil
