When did trigger discipline become a thing?
>>30971744

Didn't we just have this thread?
Sorry if this doesn't belong here /k/ but I need advice ASAP. I was looking into getting an AK, I was always kinda too poor/couldn't justify the cost but I found this I.O inc AK-74 for a really good price. The guy actually brought it down for me at $400. I can see that the finish is kinda meh but I have replica AKs I've refinished in the past so I can handle that. I'd also rather have wood, but that can easily be replaced.
So /k/ is it worth? I need to know within the next few hours. Again sorry if it doesn't belong here I don't post on /k/ much.
>>30971099
IOs are universally considered junk. Buy and keep til NOV and sell for much gains.
>>30971099
>I.O.
Don't.
If you have to get a cheap AK, get an N-PAP.

What's your favorite Wars, Battles, Engagements or Special Operations carried out by a small nation, or just small armies. Any time period just badass stuff by the underdogs.
I have a few, but my favorite I think is one I only read about recently.
Siege of Jadotville, fought by Irish UN Peacekeepers in the DRC in Africa. the 'A' Company, 35th Battalion of 155 Irish troops, led by Commandant Pat Quinlan, was surrounded and attacked by (Varied reports) up to 500-5000 Katangese troops, Belgian, French and Rhodesian mercenaries and Belgian settlers, the Katangese also had an armed CM170.
They held out for 6 days under shelling from a 75mm, jet bombing and mortar strikes by a 81mm, along with mass wave attacks from the enemy, with only light arms and a 60mm mortar to defeat them.
The Katangese suffered over 300 dead and 1000 wounded, while the Mercenaries reported 30 deaths.
The Irish ended up having only 5 wounded in action.
With this being said, in the end the Irish, who had lost communication with their HQ, were forced to surrender, as they had ran out of ammunition, food and water after the UN relief effort had failed to reach the camp. A radio message sent to the HQ by the Irish before communication broke down read
"We will hold out until our last bullet is spent. Could do with some whiskey" (of course).
It was reported that Merc officers were seen shooting deserting Katangese soldiers to try and stem rout within their lines.
The troops were released from captivity a month later after negotiation with the Katages, the battle was later covered up by the Irish Defense Forces, presumably out of misplaced embarrassment over the surrender of the troops, (Even though they had ran out of ammo food and water!), and only reviewed and recognized again in 2005.
>yfw You will never get to blast Mercs and niggers with an FN FAL and a Vickers MG in the jungle heat while drinking whiskey.

Aw fuck yes, this thread is already worth all that typing, thanks anon, gonna get a nice drink and dig into this.
I feel that this is mandatory for all of these threads.
Drake is right, but are you?
Isnt there a new semi auto shotgun that fires faster than the AA-12? It's pretty big, forgot the name
>>30971450
You're probably talking about the Fostech Origin-12.
>>30971450
The aa-12 was never known for a fast fire rate.
Hello my friends, now I'm no milfag just a hobbyist. So can someone explain to me the purpose of a laser sight? In all online fps games I've played they have served zero purpose and only given away my position. What are they used for?
>>30970874
Seems pointless on anything except for a pistol in my opinion. I wouldn't mind having one on my home defense pistol in case of a nighttime burgulary or something but that's about it.
Most used by the military are infrared to be used in conjunction with NVGs.
>>30970874
Lasers on military weapons are almost exclusively used for night fighting where the laser is IR old and visible only through NODs.
The military rifle lasers have a visible setting, but those are mostly used for zeroing them as best as possible.
There are extremely high powered lasers which are put on military rifles sometimes for the explicit purpose of being a non-lethal way to make local civilians stay away. An Afghan knows that if a bright ass laser shines on him he'd better either stop moving and put his hands up, or turn the fuck away if he's at a checkpoint.
People talk a lot about MOA in long guns and .22's, but I never hear of any metric for the modern "combat" handgun, i.e. non-competition, defense caliber handguns.
Is there any kind of accepted way of measuring skill with aforementioned guns? Maybe some sort of drill?
>>30970788
Nope, the focus with modern handguns is how quickly you can dump a 15+ round 9mm magazine into a pelvis at 7 feet.
>>30970939
Yes but isn't there some standard to the pelvis-shooting? Anything? How am I to measure my gun e-peen?
>>30970788
Here are some drills you can print out and take to the range

Hey, /k/. This post is for shits and giggles, so don't take it too seriously.
What do you think is the best thing to commit suicide with?

Hahaha,another "nihilistic" and "depressed" teen who wants to kill himself. Wow,good on you for being so unique! Your life sure is suffering. Hell,the fact that you can afford a computer is proof of the hardships that face you!

Your dads dick
I'm really curious, what does /k/ think about this as a self defense weapon? Being in ausfaila you obviously can't carry around a weapon for self defense or anything that seems like it could be used for such purpose, it would be the ultimate SD weapon in terms of concealment and in court they would be hard pressed to convict you.
>>30970143
It's kind of dangerous to do, actually, because the fire can go into the can and make it explode. Also it would look bad in court, I mean this would look bad in court in the US (short of Texas)
That said, it'd be badass and you'd be like Caleb.

I got a question /k/, and as a relatively new shooter im hoping ya'll can help me.
When looking through a scope, specifically in a prone position, I'm having a hard time getting my eye close enough to the end of the scope for the whole picture to show, what I mean is that I don't like shooting with the black outline that you get on the inside of the optic when you aren't close enough to the scope, do I need a shorter stock? Is it positioning? And does shooting when the lines are there yield worse accuracy or nah?
I'm also a big fan of non-ghillied snipers in Iraq and Afghan so if anyone's got some cool pictures in that field then general sniper thread I guess.
eye relief can vary by scope, some you need to be at an exact distance from to see through clearly while others allow a bit of 'wiggle room' so to speak. get behind it then move your head until it looks good then re-mount as needed.
