Hoping to enlist in the Army as 37F, Psychological Operations Specialist.
Is there anything I should know beforehand?
Doing it because it seems pragmatic, not because "lol PSYOPS"

Hello I am a PSYOP NCO. First off there is no S at the end.
here is a list of things you need to be able to do to be a PSYOPer.
>talk to people
A large part of my job involves walking up to people I dont know and talk to them to either convince them we are the good guys or learn whats going on in the area that I can exploit. I also have to convince Infantry commanders that I am an asset and that I should be used.
>switch from making friends to killing people.
We are riflemen first. Yeah we "sell America" but we also mke it easier for the Infantry to kill more bad guys. This makes us a target for bad guys. We are also expected to do everything our supported unit is doing, including attacks and ambushes.
>be able to ruck march
on a dismounted combat patrol YOU WILL be rucking while everyone else is just walking with guns and armor on. Why? Because we take a loudspeaker everywhere, its our weaponsystem

>>30774970
How intensive is the language training? I read it was four weeks iirc. Do they just give you a base understanding of Farsi? Was it enough for you to be able to hold coherent conversation with people?
Lets limit it to bolt actions, and handguns. Some sort of mauser?
>tfw no shield-maiden waifu
When will someone make a show or movie that's actually historical accurate? I mean no fantasy tier costumes, no affimative action lolfeminism, no bullshit weapons etc
Why is this so hard?
>>30774714
Two words: "director's vision".
>>30774772
Next question: When will directors stop being fags?
A close friend just enlisted to the army as a combat medic.
I want to gift him something useful.
What can I gift him that he can
>actually receive
>be of use
>make him happy?
Get him an Operation! game from Hasbro.
>>30774585
>Enlisted
Filthy scum.
>>30774603
He was too dumb to be an officer.
I'll begin:
>CZ-75BD Decocker cage
>Short Navy style grip on the Single Action Army (especially since the longer Army grip was already available) and arbitrarily tall hammer spur
>Brazed magazine tube and riveted ejector on 870
>Any glued ejectors in 1911s
>Ruger eliminating panel style grips on revolvers
>No iron sights on modern hunting rifles
>late-era mausers without stock discs
>semi-automatic pistols with grips on that magazines that pinch your hands
>parked receiver and blued barrel
Why, CZ? My 452 is perfect otherwise
>open notch rear sight any time after WW2
For what purpose?
>LOP under 13.5"
Manlets, please
>the stainless look
Always disgusting. Fine if it's stainless and coated or finished somehow
>Jeweled bolts
>Engraved safety warning or other information on a gun
>plastic trigger guards on otherwise steel rifles
>disgusting coloured laminated stocks, lime green and blue etc
>ugly as fuck buttpads that look like the sole of a black man's sneakers
>molded plastic stocks
>>30774531
>grips on that magazines that pinch your hands
Its called a base/floor/extension plate, noguns.
Inb4 slide mounted safeties on pistols
FUCK YOU PISTOL IS FINE TINY HAND MAN
Looking to get a new semi auto shotgun price range 500-1500 what does /k/ recommend?
>>30774189
mossberg 930 spx tactical
Vepr 12 is pretty sweet
>>30774193
Why?
I'm interested in possibly getting a break action shotgun, but I want one that has both shell ejection and also charges firing pins/hammers on the break. If it's a case of having your cake and eating it too then just having shell ejection is fine but I just wanna know what the options are.
These kind of shotguns usually doesn't appear in CoD games so it's hard for /k/ to give a tip. Sorry, op.
This is gonna sound lame, but hickok45 had a good video about hammer/hammerless shotguns. I guess you could look into cz coach gun or the stoegers. Also Mad Max is based.
>>30776995
I've been looking at the stoeger. My only complaint is the double trigger but I can live with that.
Hey /k/, lets say that one, hypothetically, happens to live in commiefornia. And hypothetically, one wishes to acquire a medical marijuana reccomendation. What are the chances that the reccomendation would be connected to the background check done when purchasing a gun? Assuming one hypothetically indicated on their form 4473 otherwise.
>>30773988
hmmmm nothing should happen anon
>>30773988
No idea. My best honest guess is that the fascist fucking bastards would love to but they don't have the money or resources to create their own all-seeing all-connected seamless panopticon of a database yet. Sauce: I worked tech pubs in IT organizations for 15+ years and I have seen what a clusterfuck it is when you try and integrate data and databases even within the same division of the same company. Holy fucking fantastic shitballs.
>>30773988
I know you technically can't get a CCW in California if you already have a 215 card, and that may extend to buying guns as well but I'm not 100% sure.

I have the money should I do it /k/
>>30773981
Do it and in the meantime, buy a cool che shirt to go along with it. You classless fucking fruitcake.
>>30773981
Meh, it won't be as cool as a short rail.

>USSR
>Che "I'm such a fucking loser that Castro put me in Africa to make me think about just how much of a fucking loser I am" Guevara
There's a difference. The USSR was a respectable enemy, Che was just some fuckstick that was good at shooting people and running away. He died the same way he lived, like an animal.
Got any Anderson fags here?
>tfw want cheap lower
>Andersons everywhere for $60
>hideous rollmark
Why can't somebody just shit out barebones no-frills lowers with nothing more than the bare minimum of legally-required markings for $60?
>>30773902
I've got an Anderson lower.
It's fine.
>>30774072
they do but those get sold out leaving only the max autism ones
High Capacity Assault Clips
>>30773887
Literally got PTSD just from looking at this
>>30773887
What about these tools of war?
>>30773887
I live in Califailia and this triggers me. Check your privilege.
Got myself a birthday gift today, 100 round sticks of freedom.
Post shit CaliFags will never have.
>>30773746
Is that the one that was for sale on Alaskaslist?
>>30773755
Might be, I found it at Cabelas.
Seem like the most elitest, purist, stuck up, and overall most unforgiving board on 4chins? Its like most of the people on here act like they know everything there is to know about weapons, combat, and pretty much everything in general and I dont seem to get that much snark on other boards. Its like youre hipsters with guns and thats about as far as it goes. Not to mention, I get the general feel that when someone asks a question, they are immeadiately met with friction, like just for example "Oh, you dont know how many fps a 5.56 travels with such and such grain count fired out of a M16A3? Fucking pleb..."
Id be willing to bet most of these shitbirds are just armchair generals with a ton of closet queens in their arsenal. It just ticks me off when Ive talked to countless combat veterans about experiences and weapons they have used and not a one of them has been as abrasive as some of you fucks. Call me salty, but if you've been on this board long enough, you KNOW who the fuck Im talking about.
Pic unrelated, though it is my EDC.
>Its like most of the people on here act like they know everything there is to know about weapons, combat, and pretty much everything in general
Lurk more and you too will know these secrets, in time.
>>30773717
Because no one knows what the fuck they're talking about, so they cling onto opinions and take hardline approaches so that they hopefully sound like they aren't ignorant retards.
wtf i hate /k/ now
You have 30 (thirty) seconds to explain as to why the fuck you still don't have a Sig Sauer MK25 P226 in your arsenal yet. You literally cannot have a complete arsenal without the world's most combat proven handgun let alone be taken seriously as a gun owner.
Phosphate coating, fully machined internals and a mean shooter, why the fuck don't you still have one you fucking faggot?
>m-h-h-her-twohunni-dolla-boat-'ncherr
>hurr I don't know shit about Sigs so I'll shitpost
>hurrrr
I'll wait. Hearing your pathetic excuse should prove to be somewhat interesting...
high bore axis :P
>>30773575
It's not a 1911
>>30773591
Doesn't matter to people who actually shoot guns.
Well WAfags, we had a good run...
>>30773520
Time to start building your own.
>>30773520
I highly doubt this would actually happen. Nothing to see here, slow news day, move along
>translation: outnumbered crying liberals who moved north from Cali insist they have a chance to make a non-shit state into Cali no freals PLEASE LET US RUIN YOUR STATE
yawn wake me when real news happens
What the kind of snap caps do you all use for dry-fire/failure drills?
>A-zoom caps: leave red flakes everywhere
>Tiptop: leave white flakes everywhere (and I expect these will melt in place if I'm doing failure drills)
>KP tactical: looks too much like live ammo; get gouged on mag feeder lips and get nicked and deformed when ejected.
Ultimate arms: no quality control, inconsistent sizes
B-Unique: even worse

>>30773411
I use brass reloads, no powder, hot glue in the primer cavity so there's something for the firing pin to hit. I tarnish them halfway with ammonia so I can always identify them. Cheap as shit, work fine for dry fire and flinch tests.

And why the fuck are you using snapcaps for dry fire? Are you fucking gay?
