Could you become reasonably accurate with a front sight only rifle through a lot of training?
If you were well-practiced and always put your nose on the charging handle you should be able to hit consistently inside 25m and have probably a 1 in 3 chance of hitting a man-sized target at 100m with deliberate aim.

God, why the fuck do people chicken wing. Just fucking why.
>>30080665
well, if you flap that chicken wing hard enough, you might go airborne. Who knows?
Hello /k/ameraden!
I saw 13 hours: secret soldiers of Benghazi last night and I have a question.
[SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT!]
When the bad guys are attacking from the Zombie land and one of them aims the RPG and gets headshotted. Then he fires the RPG at the ground and it explodes.
Doesn't the RPG have to travel a specific distance to even get armed?
>>30080518
No, simple impact fuse on the tip of the round. If you are carrying it without the cover over the fuse, trip and the round hits nose first it can detonate while still in the launcher
>>30080523
I see, thank you!
And in general, was the movie realistic?
Not in terms of the actual events, but engagements and shootings?
>>30080518
PG-7 and PG-7V use the VP-7 fuse. The fuse is two-part point initiating, base-detonating, piezoelectric ignited. The base portion of the fuse contains an inertial safety switch that is mechanically closed at booster burnout; the same action also initiates the self-destruct powder train that makes properly functioning PG-7 series rockets go boom 4-6 seconds after launch.
In other words, it will not go off at point blank, unless said fuse/round is faulty, in that rare case it could go off when fired.
What is your "zombie apocalypse" weapon of choice
>>30080402
The intelligence to understand zombies aren't and will not be real, ever.
>>30080435
> he doesn't know "zombie" is a code word
>>30080469
/k/ I don't have faith in your abilities that you can actually kill someone even in the circumstance of self defense. Have you ever killed anyone even in the line of combat?
>>30080346
Fuck off you retarded child.
>>30080357
A gun's purpose is for that of killing. Unless you've killed some kind of animal I don't you guys have what it actually takes to use that gun for its intended purpose of protection
>>30080346

Who cares?
>>30080186
So that's what an anti-gun fudd looks like.
Another situation of an engineer sticking his head out from behind the drawing board and saying something stupid.
There's a reason the pencil pushers are never used as the public face of an organization/company. They're all spergs.
'Memphis Belle' gunner dies at Battle of Britain Bunker during first return visit to England at age of 94
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR3CpfQJ3-4
>U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Melvin Rector long carried England in his heart after he helped defend it during World War II, but 70 years passed without him stepping foot back in the country.
>The 94-year-old finally decided to leave his home in Barefoot Bay, Fla., to visit Britain earlier this month. The National World War II Museum in New Orleans conducts a travel program through which interested parties can visit certain sites of the war. He signed up for one, in hopes of visiting RAF Snetterton Heath in Norfolk.
>On May 6, Rector stepped foot on British soil for the first time in 71 years. The group first visited RAF Uxbridge in the London Borough of Hillingdon.
>Rector toured Battle of Britain Bunker, an underground command center where fighter airplane operations were directed during D-Day. After climbing back into the sunlight, he told Jowers he felt dizzy. She grabbed one of his arms, and a stranger grabbed the other. There, just outside the bunker, Rector died quietly.
>Sandy Vavruich, Rector's daughter, said it's how he would have liked to pass on, even though he sadly never did make it to RAF Snetterton Heath. "He couldn't have asked for a better way to go," she told Florida Today. "It was quick and painless. He had just gotten to see two planes, and he passed away between them."

Should I buy a T-72? I did my research and found that refurbishment+shipping would make the total cost about a hundred-grand.

A T-55 would be be markedly cheaper. But otherwise: Do it faggot!

ITT: we talk (and make examples) of operations gone awfully wrong and we do some armchair judgements as per whether they went wrong because of bad luck or because of big fuck ups.
Please post examples, links, videos, documentaries. Respond and contribute: I want to be enriched.

Dear /k/, how do you draw the line of an operation gone wrong because of chance and an operation that was just lousy, badly planned, and badly manned?
I have recently watched "the lone survivor".
Here is the former thread: >>30072395
What I found it interesting is not just the facts, but how they are interpreted by the anons who report them.
For example, the radio mishap:
>for some, it was just a mistake (failed to update encryption keys)
>for others, it was a calculated risk (they chose to go there with reduced weight, so no back up equipment, etc.)
My question, maybe too general, is:
>How do you draw the lines between idiots and pros during an OP gone wrong?
I am thinking of Black Hawk Down, Red Wings, but also some WW2 situations.

>Sometimes, against all the odds, people keep performing at max level, so that even if they all die, it can be said nobody can be blamed because all precautions were taken and all drills followed
>On other occasions, it appears to me that something (or more than something) goes wrong, so that the waste of lives is not really part of the calculated risk of conflict but it is just the result of various individuals fucking up at various levels.

Can you tl;dr this?
PTSD thread. Drinking to kill the feels while installing XCOM 2. TFW you want to shoot yourself but can't because your antifun family will blame guns because they don't get how fucked your head really is.
>>30079693
Wanna work through some stuff buddy? /k/ is actually pretty good at working through shit together
>>30079699
Not much to work through honestly. I've come to terms with the shit that happened to me in my childhood. I still can't sleep for shit, and since I quit weed my gf (who is now back in another state) started getting bruises all over her legs from me kicking in my sleep. Alcohol helps me fall asleep, but I feel exhausted as fuck when I wake up.
>>30079693
>TFW you want to shoot yourself
That is super fucked and I hope you can work through it before you hurt yourself man. I am at a pretty bleak point as well but ending myself seems I can't really put it into words. It seems appealing a times but ultimately not worth the cost both to myself and the people I care about.
Anyone carry appendix with a job that involves sitting most of the day? I just don't see how, especially with a Glock 19 which people say is "totally doable" appendix style. Hell I've even got a holster meant for appendix carry, and a proper gun belt.
bump
Help me /k/, I want to be able to rock with the cool kids and all the appendix carry benefits I've heard about. I've been carrying this "appendix holster" at 5 o'clock because it's much more comfortable there, even though it's still not near as comfy as my other gun's holster that has a loop at each side rather than the two close together.
stop carrying a glock 19
SKS thread: Bubba is evolving edition.
We've seen it, we've talked to the guy that owns,his dad built it and it's fucking fantastic.
That doesn't fit the definition of Bubba btw. Its not a hack job by any means
>>30079000
That's actually a pretty cool SKS. It's not all fucked up, it seems like an improved rifle.

Sharpie in the pooper?
>>30078839
whats cringy here?
is it just the camo or am i missing something?
why didn't they just make anti air flak rockets, instead of anti air cannons?
you won't need that expensive and time consuming to build cannon. Just simple rails.
the whole mass of the rocket becomes shrapnel.
you can mass or ripple fire the rockets with a single triggering action.
>unguided rockets
>fired over long distances
>getting anywhere near the target
Pick 2.
>>30079214
You don't need to get close. You are just filling the sky with shrapnel. So you can hit tight formations of bombers.
>>30078795
Rockets have too much ballistic drop
