There was an inquiry in the UK about the Iraq War, it's due to be published tomorrow. One of the questions is "Did the UK troops have the right equipment"?
Well, did they? Were they (and by extension, the US) really prepared for the war?

No. Equipment was mostly geared for the cold war and not a COIN, but I guess nobody expected a hypothetical insurgency to last that long. Lack of DMRs (Korea-era M14s don't count), mine resistant vehicles and armored vehicles suitable to withstand rockets. Lack of desert uniforms too in some cases.
>>
Yes and no.
There was just enough of the right equipment for the invasion, but not enough for the COIN campaign afterwards. Lack of troop numbers as well, though that was politics and not due to a lack of capability.

Yeah I guess, it's as "right" as it gets.
Germanon here
Ive been thinking about emigrating to the US, but im completely unsure which regions would fit well. The reason on why I post it here because im into guns and into innawoods stuff. From what I've read Alaska, Wyoming, Washington and Arizona seem decent, especially because I like mountainous terrain and/or hot and/or humid climate. Obviously good gun laws are also essential imo.
Any /k/ommandos have stories or suggestions for me?

Avoid the NE quadrant of the map.
Avoid California.
Avoid Texas (not completely terrible for guns, just overall a shitty state).
NW and SE states are the best ones.

From a machine dynamics standpoint, I have no clue how barrel linkdown works, repeatedly and reliably, in a 1911. Like, the kinematic relationships between slide/bushing, barrel, link, and frame.

The best thing that ever happened for the anti-gun people was the association of the left and anti-gun sentiments.
If guns become a left VS right thing, than gun rights will lose, just a matter of time. You can't hold onto gun rights if half of the people were convinced that their stance is anti-gun just because we let people pigeonhole liberals and socialists with the anti-gun platform. And all this bashing 'marxists' and 'libruhls' online is contributing to that anti-gun victory.
If the is pro-gun, and if, say, half the left is pro-gun, that will cement any pro-gun victory.
Post leftists with guns, because it will be the leftists with guns who will save the 2nd amendment, if its to be saved at all.

Just tell em about the Battle of Blair Mountain, the Ludlow Massacre, and the Homestead Strike. People on the left fought industrialists with guns to get modern labor laws.

I can respect an actual Socialist or Communist a hell of a lot more than I can respect the American left.
At least Gommies are willing to fight for what they believe.

It's funny since left wing death squads are historically more real than right wing death squads.

For any reason I guess. Design, true to real firearm mechanics, caliber, just that it's fucking awesome. Whatever, I don't care.
I would prefer if you explain why though.

If only someone would remodel it. Looks awesome but just a few extra polygons and some retexturing could make it even better.

A lot of the Starfighter was used in the U2 Spyplane.
Here is a doc on Kelly Johnson, the man who ran Lockheed's Skunkworks and worked on the Starfighter.

same reason ALL scifi & future predictions fail:
Unpredicted appearances of brand new "element X", that the people at the time could not have even imagined existing.
In our time's case, the IT technology, wireless technology, and the networks related to both started evolving and spreading so rapidly, that for the past 30 years, anything made a decade earlier is almost always obsolete.
It's one of the reasons why the so-called "retro futures" are so fascinating and once again feel fresh in fiction, as they might just as well be alternative universes or timelines to us.
Early 1900s people thought the future was all about personal flying gadgets and super complicated machines that'd do things like barber visits or teaching kids as simple as sowing crops with steam-engine devices. 1950s predicted everything to be about "NUCLEAR POWERRR", and 60s-70s was "space EVERYTHING!".

Makes you wonder how horribly wrong we'll have got things when we look back about twenty years down the line.

>>30502378
None of that is bad for 2030, though. All the elements exist; they're just used differently because futurists don't consider ergonomics or talk to the actual end-users.

PCV are really thick poly and can get stuck in some magwells.

Collection, hunting, hobbies (Including competitive sports) and self defense. Really, that's all there is, m8. Japan should just reduce their restrictions since they're fucking over the country folk and the people interested in sports shooting. Why do you think the JDSF is full of gun otakus?
