"In a combined country and individual-level analyses these results remained, and in addition it was observed that the high availability of firearms was associated with lower levels of victimization by contact crime in general, suggesting a potential deterrent effect of availability. In countries where firearms were more available, non-owners were more likely to be victims of gun related violence and homicide"

Wait, what?
The EU published a study in which they support gun ownership as an effective means of self defense?
This doesn't specify legal or illegal...
Girl: "Hey, anon, you have more guns than that .22, right? Right?

Post mercenaries. I need more pictures of mercenaries!
You mean PMC's?
Or you mean those cliché movie-style South-African/Scottish fuckers?
How would the Six Day War have played out if the Arabs were even slightly competent?
Was the Israeli victory more attributed to the Israelis being supermen or the Arabs being, well, Arabs?
Arabs being arabs and failing to neutralize Israeli air superiority.

We would know it as the Seven Day War.

historically, how would a longsword have been used in combat?
what armor would be worn with it, and what opponents would it be used against?
clearly, a longsword would be at a disadvantage when pitted against and arming sword and shield, considering the lack of protection, but in what context would a longsword be most effective?
>>30312554
You are wildly off base, the only thing that matters is the person wielding the weapon
An arming sword and shield could beat a long sword or an arming sword alone couple beat a sword and shield, or the longsword could beat the other combos
>>30312633
of course they could, but of two individuals with equal skill, the one with the superior equipment will have the advantage.
just watch any sparring videos, having a shield to block is a huge advantage
They were used like this
I am not even joking
Bulgy AK-74 for sale locally w/ NODAK receiver and chrome US barrel.
Can't really afford it but I feel like I could resell it and get more. What do y'all think?
I've already got an AK-pattern rifle but I don't wanna miss the opportunity to make a quick flip.
Pic-related is the rifle in question
>>30312481
Derp, forgot to add he's asking $500
>>30312481
why would you buy anyones partskit build when you have no idea who assembled it? if someones selling it retard cheap its probably fucked
>>30312497
He claims it was made by Troy Sellars of "InRange"
$500 did seem a little cheap though. Should I steer clear?
Ok so now women are now required to register for the draft but trannies aren't right? We're too mentally ill right?
>>30312469
>we're
Fucking hell Omar, you had one job
>>30312469
You should have registered for selective service when you turned 18.
And the draft is politically unworkable so it's immaterial.
>>30312469
Men have always been required, what makes you think women being let in changes that?
Why did the Krauts even attempt Stalingrad?
They're could taken the whole of the Caucuses without ever fucking with it.
>>30312380
The short of it is that they tried and failed.
>>30312380
Because it was named after Stalin.
Seriously, pretty much everyone advised against it but Hitler ordered that it be taken.
Also, trying for the whole of the Caucasus would have been a bad idea as well, the Germans would have been better off establishing good defensive lines before the winter started.
>>30312380
Because it was a big industrial center and a break of bulk point for shipping.
hello /k/
I am looking to buy a .308 rifle. Is the Remington 700 a good consideration?
>>30312342
It certainly isn't a bad consideration.
What is your budget, and what are you wanting to use it for? Hunting, long range, target shooting, all of the above, etc?
Other options include the Tikka T3 (I'd highly suggest the CTR), or a Mossberg MVP, or a Savage Model 11.
>>30312374
most likely all of the above.
>>30312342
they're def nice guns
just be careful about switching the saftey on with one in the chamber as that is a known defect
I've always been a sucker for gimmicky things like this. Does anyone actually make bolt action AR uppers?
Yeah.
There are straight pull and lever release ARs for people who live in communist places.
>>30312319
they also make single shot/bolt action uppers for large calibers.
>>30312319
its called removing the gastube
enjoy your straightpull
A co worker told me today that no modern military uses shotguns, but that can't be true. Right? Pic unrelated.
>>30312210
>no modern military uses shotguns
Absolutely false
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_individual_weapons_of_the_U.S._Armed_Forces
Scroll down to shotguns
>>30312210
The us uses the Mossberg m90a1 and others I think
More for ship board defense, mp duty, crowd control amnd door breaching than anything I think but its still used
Shotgun thread?

Hello, /k/.
I am looking for a good AR-15 at a decent price. Any Recommendations?
build one from palmetto state armory upper & lower parts (or rifle kit + receiver) (Anything other than PTAC on the PSA and you'll be fine), M&P Sport, Colt 6920, or Ruger AR556
>>30311921
noveske .300blk with a AAC suppressor will make liberals shed tears
>>30312462
PSA CHF or Colt 6920
Greetings /k/, my name is Timothy and this is my formal introduction to you. I am a fine purveyor of firearms. I happen to own many exquisite lethally barrelled weapons which I will not hesitate to discharge at any time should you cross me. So mark my words, I am a dangerous individual with an arsenal behind me stronger than that of any special ops organisation. I have come under abuse on the internet before and that did not end well for the individuals who thought it was a good idea to challenge me. That said, pics of everyone's ar15 variants?
CV-47
>>30311906
Hey what's up Timothy! Good to have you on board brother!!!!
If you want, I can show you around (badass facial hair you got going on!!) Don't got pics of my ar-15 because it's in my safe and my wife's sleeping and I don't wanna wake her up or she will start yelling @ me LOL!
>>30311906
holy shit, 0 results on TinEye.
Red Pill me on the Intelligence Support Activity. Is it true that their intelligence officers make the CIA look like fucking amateur hour, and that their direct action element is one of the best in the world?
>>30311869
Yeah, they FOR SURE make CIA SOG and SAD look like amateurs.
Fuck off.
I don't think there's a single person on /k/ that has any idea what ISA or SAD do on a daily basis.

>CIA Shitting the bed
>ISA team sent in to unfuck the situation
>CIA starts taking credit for their work

>CIA tracks them within 3-4 miels
