ITT: We suggest upgrades for the Irish Air Force
>Some have suggested replacing Ireland's propeller air force with more advanced F/A-18s (see concept), which the Republic currently cannot afford given its present military budget.
What do you think?
Gripens seem like the obvious solution.

Didn't they just make air guns classify as firearms?
Why would a country like that deserve / want a better military?

Alright, /k/. In case you haven't noticed, especially here lately, 2A rights are under attack (namely here in the west).
Skip 10 years in the future and the ATF is coming for all firearms on record, full out ban.
How do you go about a revolution? Where do you procure weapons, with whom do you strike deals with, and how do you recruit?
Also, discuss why the CSA failed during the civil war.

/k/ finally gets it's shit together and takes Sealand. But alas, when the dust settles you are among the fallen.
What do you want the soldiers of /k/ to do with your body? Burial at sea? Bury you with your guns? Shoot your corpse out a cannon?

Well, that was fast... A buddy of mine just bought a P1, which is sweet as hell as is that 38k. He also just got a set of Nills for his birthday to put on it to replace the original black plastics, but I have yet to see it since he got them.

I am new to guns and this question is incredibly stupid but:
I see that companies sell replacement barrels and I hear of barrels being "shot out" or losing their rifling; does this mean I have to replace my barrels after a certain amount of rounds I put through it? Or is only need replacing when you completely abuse your rifle by mag dumping thousands of rounds through it?
How does one replace a barrel on an AK if it is pinned(?), a gunsmith?
How about pistols and suppressors?

You're talking about ten thousand rounds to be conservative.
You'd have to shoot thousands of dollars worth of ammo through it. Mag dumping non-stop on full-auto fire will eventual ruin any firearm that isn't water cooled.
>>
>>30222433
a barrel is shot out and in need of replacement when the owner decides it is
one person might consider a 1 moa barrel to be shot out when it becomes 2 moa meanwhile another wont care when their 2 moa gun becomes 6 moa and the only reason he noticed the loss in accuracy is it started key holing
round count isnt a good indicator too many factors influence it
>>
>>30222472
>>30222474
Thanks guys. So I shouldn't worry about my WASR, I only shoot 400~ rounds a month and I've had it for a year now.
What is the best pistol?

What are some of the crudest, simplest weapons that were ever issued to modern fighting forces? I'm looking for firearms and other modern equipment that was made with cost and simplicity as the leading factors.
I heard that the Russians had some sort of launcher in WWII that lobbed blown glass orbs filled with some sort of explosive. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Starting with obligatory Sten.

Hybrid holster are garbage, enjoy having a fucking square mile of material up against your body all day for no fucking reason.
Spare yourself the embarrassment and discomfort and buy a real holster aka Bravo Concealment or G-CODE.
Also, this question wasn't worth its own thread.

Post your shotguns, complain about Remington, compare choke patterns, and more!
First order of business: why are spare 870 barrels so goddamn expensive all of a sudden? I have an old Wingmaster I'm trying to get a high gloss 18 inch barrel for, and I can't find one for any less than $170. Would it be prudent to look for used examples, or should I just bite the bullet and take the hit?
Also, opinions on rifle sights on a smoothbore?

What sort of boot does /k/ prefer?
I've been experimenting with various sorts of footwear over the years to see which did best for work (paramedic). My current boots are Corcoran 5407 tankers. Not because of any stolen valor bullshit (never served, never really wanted to), but because they were designed to be comfortable while worn for hours on end in a cramped vehicle, which is pretty much what I do for a living. I did about 20 hours straight in them yesterday and I have to say that, while not as comfortable as my old engineer boots, they were pretty damned comfy. Especially after I smeared enough mink oil in them to lube a crank case.
Pic related: Corcoran 5407s in action. Or rather, not in action.

Take it from a former user, your straps will snag on things at the worst possible time. That said, I wore my pair for a couple of years and they held up quite well.
I hope that you don't find yourself hung up on something, but be aware of the possibility.
>>
>>30220861
Yeah, they're supposedly designed to do the precise opposite of that, but mine kind of hung on the unit door just a while ago. They didn't slow me down or trip me and I sort of chalked it up to a loose instep strap (immediately tightened), but it was kind of a downer. To be honest, every laced boot I've ever had did the same thing, so I'm not too bummed. Eh, if these don't work out I'm going back to a pair of side zip paratroopers with zip tie laces, which I wore for years just fine. I think I wore out three or four pairs of those.
"Tactical" boots a shit, though. Fucking hate those single-use foot quilts. Hot, flimsy bastards.
>>
Royer MOABs are the best boots I've owned to date. Highly recommend 8" with the zip tops but not everyone is comfortable in high boots. Build quality is why I keep buying their stuff. Never had a pair fail at anything other than a gradual slow wear n tear pace.
