Thinking of building my first AR, what's the best affordable lower for a first build?
Also how often is headspacing wrong with builds?Is it worth the $80 in go/no-go gauges?

Anderson is cheap shit, it may work but it's cheap shit. I recommend spending $20-$30 more and getting something nice like a MEGA.

>Also how often is headspacing wrong with builds?Is it worth the $80 in go/no-go gauges?

if you buy quality barrel and bolt carrier group there will be no problems and will not need gauges.

Along with lightweight solar UAVs they seem great for when you want to leave something tootling around over an area during the sort of low-intensity conflicts we're seeing plenty of at the present, like so many things great for these situations they'd probably be of very little use in a higher intensity conflict though.

>>30477124
Their use for logistics seems like a somewhat awkward niche, cheaper potentially than heavy airlift but way slower, more expensive than seafreight but way faster. VTOL would be a nice theoretical advantage but the vulnerable slow flight speed means they'd be stuck flying the same rear echelon routes you can probably not worry so much about/gain such an advantage from that on. Since you're always going to have the bulk of your airlift capability be conventional due to time restraints I wonder how much room there is for another capability to coexist.

That's OP.

Some military officers believe they know what is best for America's civilian populace.

Maybe its best you listen to these heroic figures.

Listen to what the U.S. officer corps can do for you.

It would do fine. The ammo is comparable to 7.62x39 which is still in use and gets the job done. The only downside I know of is the weight, 10lb, which is not horrible, just more than typical rifles now.

In case you missed it, Syrian rebels located a cache of StG-44s and used them in battle.

As far as I'm aware, "shell shock" is what we now call PTSD.

shell shock is just a form of ptsd that you get when you was in narrow space when you got the disorder.
So yes, it could happen but only if you would fight in a trench or another DFP where you cant get enough stress release by walking around

Read that last night before I went to bed, bretty gud article.

They were saying in the Telegraph (or rather on the Telegraph's website, haven't bought a paper in years) that we still have EOD guys there today. At their current rate, locating and destroying about 1,000kg of explosives a week, they reckon it's going to take another five HUNDRED years until the entire place is clear.

Hey /k/, I've been thinking about my grandfather's old war stories and naturally, I wanted to ask you guys about his guns.

For context, I don't have exact dates but he fought for 2 years in a war that lasted from 1948 to 1960, and he would've been 18 (and hence in national service) in 1952, so presumably all weapons mentioned would've been slight improvements on their World War II models.

Anyway, what's /k/ opinion on these guns?
1) American M2 carbine - my grandfather sung the praises of this gun. Was he right? If I'm not mistaken, the M1 is considered to be top-tier.
2) German Luger (pistol) - this almost got him killed (an SAS lad had to save him), are they really shit-tier? The story goes that even after he had the guys at the barracks check it, it still fucking jammed on him. If memory serves, even war films portray this weapon as utter shit (e.g. Band of Brothers has it fire in a man's pocket and kill him). Was it really that bad?

What country are you from...?

>>30476054

M2 carbines are pretty much the predecessor of all PDWs, they're pretty solid but get a bad rap

lugers are craftsman pistols, they're intended to be hand fit and can be a little bit picky with what they eat and probably won't handle a lack of maintenance as well as other handguns
