I served in the 82nd Airborne as an Airborne Infantryman. Now I'm out and I would aligned myself with a local militia. Absolutely. I expect to encounter other veterans.

challenging to make an effective unit larger than four or five people

not enough resources or cooperative volunteers to train an effective force. very hard to find people willing to be grunts when they're not getting paid or recognized for their contribution. unless theyre ex military, hard to train combat discipline on a weekend-warrior type basis (and these groups usually meet maybe once/month)

youre better off just having a few friends that you shoot with and who you would crew with if shit ever went down. like an eric/chad/barry type setup.

bunch of manchildren who dress up and want to play army.

complete fucking faggots

>>30738603
Yes, it's so much easier on your thumb and cuts loading time in half.

I have free ones from Glock that don't even get used because reloading mags isn't actually difficult.

A smart guy posted.

If you are being cost effective, you can get an old Remington sportsman for like $200

if im not getting a super 90 i'd rather have a good pump.

>>30738661
What's a good pump to you?

Ricochets are basically not a thing.

Here it is simplified for you

>high velocity (rifle) rounds may put a crater into armored steel at close range
>bullets (kind of) turn into liquid when they hit something harder than them
>if you have a crater in armored steel a piece of bullet can enter this crater, pull a 180° and come back at you
>manufacturers specify what calibers are safe to shoot at what ranges

tl;dr- this has happened a total of 2 times in the course of 700 trillion rounds being fired at AR500 or similar targets

>>30738620

AR500 Armor

>>30738631
AR500 isnt a brand dumbass, its a material. This is true for ANY steel targets

Wait, since when are the marines fighting Isis? I thought we were just bombing them.

>not counting munitions costs
>not counting munitions effectiveness

It's shit.

>inb4 A-10fags don't realize the massive expense and limited effectiveness of the GAU-8 and start pointing to this chart

Calm your tits kabob.
De Misere said restricting gun ownership wont do much because it's pretty strict as is. Not saying he's pro gun, but he is not a fanatical gungrabber.

And everybody who votes for socialists should not be suprised when they act like commies.

Nukes.

>aesthetically designed

In what way?

Things can't just be "aesthetic," that's a valueless measure like "meme." Things are aesthetically appealing or unappealing, the qualifier is necessary.

I swear 4chan butchers English harder than urban youths.

>>30738311
Scrin a shit.

Get GDI'ed m8.

Kane a shit too.

What makes you think it would be shit?

>>30737967
No it's pretty solid mate.

>>30737967
It blows away any other pistol WML for ccw.
But for anything beyond that it does lack when compared to the x300 ultra.
Its for ultra close range, and in that respect it dominates anything else on the market (for now anyways)

>>30737927
Stop being a queezy fuck. Go all out. What do you have to lose?

I was once a 19 year old ne'er do well. I ended up an Army Ranger.

>>30737947

A late 18th century continental heavy steel breastplate, musket ball proved, 2 studs and 2 hook fastenings, stitching holes to turned rim. Good Condition

"Description: Spanish armor breastplate, or cuirass, with a “proof mark” in the left half. This hemispherical dent was the result of a musket ball fired into the armor to “prove” the efficacy of the manufacture. "

As far as I understand, they would even go on using these musket-tested armors.

As a sort of public message that "yeah, don't even bother. This thing can take it". It was something to be proud of. A sort of mark of quality.

>>30737436
both U.S. Army and U.S. Marine fireteams have an automatic rifleman

>>30737436
Marines don't need anything bar AR-15's to be fair.

In Iraq one marine took down entire armoured division with single burst of powerful 5.56mm cartridges.

>>30737457
Automatic riflemen =\=machine gun.
>>30737461
>Iraqi armored division

So two tin cans and a conscripted goat to drag them?

>>30737426
In my armchair qb experience the initial shots were, they did tell him what would happen iirc if he didn't comply, not sure about the shots so much after but wtf do i know.

>>30737426
did he died?

>>30737489
what do you think the word fatal means

>>30737405
only a tiny ring around the entry wound

looks like there is too, but it starts bleeding too quick and the quality is too shit to tell

>>30737405
