So I guess these are technically not in use anymore by most military's but surely the US didn't just dispose of all of them. Is there some anti-personnel landmine stockpile somewhere in the US? Has anyone ever planted them?
Of course they'd dispose of them.
Why waste time, money and space keeping them around.
Reactive range targets for the grunts.
>>30792277
Storing explosives is extremely costy and even a little bit unsafe. Seriously doubt many would keep them around if they have been removed from use.
Russia is probably an exception
Imagine a world where MANPADS are legal to own so that you can defend yourself.
What would an advert look like?
What would be the target of a civilian MANPAD?
Unknown black helicopter? A heavy spy drone? Unknown low flying fighter or bomber jet? Aylmao's pimpmobile trying to levitate your cow? Would it be for skeet shooting?
Remember that the ad would be targeting civilians, not an exhibition of military equipment to be sold to countries and shit.
Going all Wolf of Wallstreet on me, sell me the Verba.

I bought a cheap knife for practice sharpening. I can get it to shave when held at a 45 degree angle but it isn't hair popping sharp, it won't shave when held perpendicular to the hair. Is the bottleneck the steel or my sharpening skill? I have an expensive HSS knife I can test but I would rather ask before testing and taking steel off.
>>30791395
Unless the steel is extremely soft, it's likely your sharpening skill to some extent at least. However, if it dulls quickly, then most likely that's the steel failing you. It sounds like you're doing just fine, so keep up the good work.
>>30791395
Stropping with compound is the next step, you can make a shit chinksteel knife ridiculously sharp sharpening then stropping.
>>30791395
What the other guy said. I got plain ol' iron with pretty much no carbon content to speak of to shaving sharp. How long is it going to last is the other question. Hair-popping would also be influenced by the angle you sharpen the knife to.
Hey guys
Waiting on my license, have taken the safety course. I've had a chance to fingerfuck 3 pistols
>Glock 19
>Colt 1911
>S&W Pic Related
The Glock and the Colt felt good in my hand. The S&W was just a little awkward to try to release the magazine with one hand. What other semi-automatic pistols are roughly the same size as the Glock and the 1911? I prefer the weight of a metal gun but the Glock is still a consideration.
The aesthetics of a P226 give me a boner but I heard they're really big.
Budget around $1300 CAD. Leaning towards 9mm for affordable shooting. It will be a range toy only because lolcanada
>>30791223
Try a Ruger LC9
My cousin has one and really likes it.
>>30791223
The P226 isn't any larger than the guns you tried, but the classic grips have this absurd palm swell that can be uncomfortable for some people.
>>30791245
Looks neat, thank you anon.
Why do countries by the F/A18 when they don't plan to use them on carriers? Why not buy F16 or F15 instead?
Longer legs would be my guess. The Viper is pretty short range without drop tanks or aerial refueling.
>>30791173
Also, it has a better payload than the F-16 and Air Superiority Fighters like the F-15 are expensive as fuck to operate.
>>30791136
Can an F-16 or F-15 take off with less than 500ft of runway?
So how does the Russian military technology compare to the US?
>are they on par?

>>30791117
>"are they on par?"

>>30791117
>>30791117
It is hard to say as everything we see about them in the media is entertainment or fed through a biased news channel.
Even their Special Forces debacles are not fair to examine because a lot of those situations were essentially Kobiyashi Maru-Tier operations. At the end of the day they are men and women who, like us or any one state in the world, will not let their way of life be challenged by outside force. The measure of their resolve has ultimately been untested.
Thanks, losers.

Ask a brazillian Military Cop anything - Olympics edition
Sorry, I know I promised to make these every two or so months, but life has been really busy around here. In this thread I'll try and fullfil my other two promisses: post more PM videos and some stories. I gathered both of them and I'll post them as the thread goes along.
Political/security situation summary:
>Brazil is under provisional president Temer, but political turmoil has calmed down for the moment (thank God)
>olympics fast aproaching
>terrorist 'cell' (bunch of idiotic teenagers trading ISIS videos on smartphones) arrested by Federal Police
>over 20k troops between Army, PM-RJ and National Security Force (which is kinda like a Military Police force used only in emergencies/large events) deployed in Rio
>housing for athelets and troops is complete garbage
>Border agents are striking in airports, traveling internationaly is now a pain in the ass
>meanwhile, in Porto Alegre, we had two PMs killed in a matter of one month
>one of them was under my command
>not really news, but it's worth pointing out that the Civilian Police in my state is once again dragging their feet, putting in as little work as possible because 'muh salary' (which has been paid in instalments for all state employeed including us for the past year or so) and is making our life a real pain in the ass once again
