I'm looking to scope my m48. I want to go with something that still allows the use of iron sights. I was thinking of either getting a svd rail the mounts to the side and use a POSP/PSO/LPS TIP2 scope or get a lsr mount from accumounts that would allow me to use any scope. What does /k/ say?
>>30041786
Pic of the lsr mount I'm thinking about
Anyone?
>>30042246
Just use irons. They are fine rifles especially the actual all milled m48s

Sell this is hilarious.
So will Russia end up with more PAK-FAs than Armatas? Or will they try to produce more than 12?
Isn't the Kremlin going to bail them out?
>>30041629
I read news in 2015 that rouble would reach 150:1 to the dollar, that Russian reactors would blow up, that Putin and his chief bodyguard had been murdered, that Russia reserves would end and Russia would default because American sanctions are too powerful. None of it happened.
What's the verdict? Decent alternative for no gun countries like Germany or for cosplaying wannabes? Should I carry one? If not what is a good "weapon" to carry?
inb4 a gun
A gun
Make one
>>30041401
I appreciate your honesty but can we look into some alternatives that won't get me in jail for years
Carrying a blank gun will get you killed.
Get a real gun faggot

There wasn't really any problem with the YF-23. It was just seen as the riskier of the two designs. In retrospect, it might have been better overall, but the Air Force saw the YF-22 as being closer to completion and thus a less risky investment. Don't worry, she'll be back someday.
>>30041322
Shame that it didn't get the same chance the YF-17 got with the Navy
>>30041605
Maybe it was pulled out because of the reminiscent profile of that of the SR-71 wich suffred from several technical issues and crashed a lot.
Budget $500.
Ideally one that comes with a leather pouch that can go on pants without a belt. Alternatively anybody know good ones of these?
For what purpose?
>>30041315
Sorry. EDC but I'd be very gentle on it.
Also, I think wood looks good.
Buck or bust pleb
What's your opinion on the Remington 700
>no bayonet lug
>tiny capacity
It's shit.
>>30041293
I like your style
>poly stock
>rust
>terrible out of box
Maks have them, Toks have them, old Colts have them, Broomhandles have them, there are lots of aftermarket ones for polymer guns.
Are pistol lanyards still a thing for modern militaries? You see them in pics sometimes but is it common and recommended/required? What are the drawbacks?
What's on your lanyard ring, /k/?
inb4 pic related
Also magazine lanyards. What would you even attach it to? It doesn't seem that useful.
the new issue 1911 has one too
Consider this,
a select-fire .22 WM rifle with quad stack magazines / large drums, against unarmored targets, and a very high ROF. Urban combat speciality.
>Why?
Less recoil, higher ROF, more capacity, better suppressive fire.
Would you use such a weapon?
>>30041157
>22 WMR
0/10 kid
>>30041177
but why?
>>30041157
Well besides the quad stacked part, isn't what you described the p90?
Can a Harrier Jump Jet come to a near halt in mid air by switching to VTOL mode in flight, to do the Top Gun tier shenanigans?
>>30041031
yup, it's called vectoring in forward flight (VIFF) and the brits used it against the argies successfully
Yep, they pulled that shit during the Falklands to beat to the superior fighters that the Argentine Air Force had.

Sarcasm?
Does anyone here actually train when shooting? I have a feeling most people on /k/ rarely shoot and when they do, it's just at dirt or whatever.
Nobody seems to discuss drills and when they do, it's the mozambique meme. So do you guys just sit around shitposting about weapons, politics and terminally still in the buying guns phase?
>inb4 "i'm a cullectur"
This question pertains more to the people geared towards conceal carry and have upgraded rifles like an ak or ar15.

I zeroed my AR last week. I was shooting 5 MOA at 100 yards by the end of the day.
No, i shoot at paper trgets with my glock 19 at 7 or 15 yards. I live innasuburbs and my range doesnt allow me to shoot quickly or draw and shoot or any realistic drills.
I do run alot and do push ups etc... i have a bad back which makes actual weight lifting very painful for the following week or so. Im in pretty decent shape for an autist but id love to have a place to go where i could get the experience of "training" in different positions.
Id really enjoy shooting from behind cover, while moving, crouching, etc...
My AR15 does exist almost purely to show in gear threads and in i/fak/ threads.
Somebody enlighten me on how this massive turd was accepted for service, despite all of its competitors being clearly superior?
>>30040850
what's wrong with it?
just looks like a crewcab jeep with a M2/Mk19 strapped on
>>30040850
It looks neat.
And whoever makes it took some DoD suits to a strip club one night and picked up the tab.
>>30040864
eh probably more the other vehicles weighed too much and the marines have been lying for decades about the Ospreys lifting capability
So in the cold war, we had plans of using tactical nukes.
davy crocketts, the atomic annie, a few dial a yield bombs, etc.
but nobody ever really covered, nor do i think they know how they would've protected guys from fallout.
you could wait a long ass time for it to settle all the way, and then run through it, but these weapons would be deployed in combat - you don't have time to sit, thumbs in asses, waiting for fallout to settle while commies are trying to kill you.
so is there any way of protecting troops from fallout while keeping their armor and mobility? (so no big bomb tech michelin man suits)
I can't really find a way, save for the MOPP suits but I can't really find anything on how effective they are against fallout.
also nuke thread
They've had concepts for this since the 60s

Decided to watch Independence Day because last time I saw it I was like 8 and I forgot the entire movie.
I am literally raging right now at this movie.
I had to pause this movie just to autism about it immediately.
>Firstly, USMC doing the initial air attack
Why? Why not the Air Force?
>Having no clue about the defenses
>Sending in 40+ air craft at once in an all or nothing attack
>Not having a small team try first
>Launching tiny ass AMRAAM's at a city sized craft
>When that doesn't work shooting Sidewinders with even less payload
>Not having any missiles left for when the enemy sorties
>Losing nearly every single F-18 due to having them all go in at once and depleting all of their payload
At least if they had only a small team go in the rest of the force could have been a QRF for the enemy response.
Are people who write movies fucking retarded?
Also Media Rage similar to this.
>Are people who write movies fucking retarded?
Not necessarily.
People who consume movies are retarded, so the writers cater to their audience.
if you think thats dumb check out the sequel

I'm mostly annoying they didn't have a sub start lobbing nukes the moment they learned the shields were down.
