to all the people who have served:
what was your hearing like before and after service?
I mean I don't know but i don't think you wear ear pro or anything in war so your ears must go through some really loud noises.
you can't just go through all of that and not lose any hearing. tell me.

Hearing isn't as bad as you think. Just had my auditory test a few months back and I only had issues in certain pitches associated with small arms gunfire and being around aircraft. Honestly QA and Saftey are pretty anal about ear pro

>I don't think you wear earpro
It is entirely possibly to wear earpro in combat. I mean, I guess some people try to act tough by not wearing earpro, but that's a retard's game to play.
I wore either Surefire in-ear plugs or Peltor liberators dismounted, and the standard commo sets while mounted. My ears are totally fine.

Way to show you know jack shit about anything.
In modern day and age, earpro is pretty much ENFORCED in any 1st world country -tier military. Be it basic muffs / plugs, or even the bit fancier electronic, noise-canceling cups, no soldier goes to war anymore without something covering your hearing. Any time there happens an accidental firing of weapon, any people near the weapon not wearing earpro are instantly sent to medical exams.
FYI, just your basic assault rifle can emit noise over 150db per shot, which can instantly damage your hearing. When it comes to large stuffs, like artillery and shit, double protection (plugs + muffs) is required.
That being said, I served in 08, and my hearing's pretty much the same as before it, thanks to the clear instructions and orders to ALWAYS. WEAR. YOUR. FUCKING. HEARING PROTECTION!

Its within my price range and I'm considering picking one up for my first AK variant.

We literally had this exact thread yesterday. Are you trying to force the AMD65 as a maymay?

>>29888018
looks like garbage and the forward grip gets in the way i hear. no idea about how well it functions
>>29888652
can i get a tl;dr for yesterdays thread?
>>
>>29888018
I own one. I love it. The forward grip takes a bit of getting used to, though it can be easily removed and replaced with another grip. It's hard to load 30 round magazines (it was designed to take 20 round mags), but it will still take them. You will be pleasantly surprised by the lack of recoil and the accuracy of it.
Why do anti-gun retards always claim "citizens never stop mass shootings" when citizens confronting the shooter stopped 40% of mass shootings between 2000-2013?
Why does the media always portray a cop shootout with mass shooters when a shootout only occured in 28% of mass shootings from 200-2013?
Why does the NRA not use the FBI statistics that in mass shootings where a shootout occured, 16% were shot back at by an armed citizen?
Enlighten me anons.

Which one is the best one? The Australian army are going to replace their ASLAVs with the CRV for the recce role.
AMV with BAE System's E35 (CV90) turret and 35mm gun.
Boxer with the Rheinmetall's Lance turret and 30mm gun.
Sentinel (Terrex II) with Elbit's MT30 turret and 30mm gun.
LAV (LAV 6.0) with Konberg's unmanned MCT30 turret and 30mm gun.
All offerings besides the AMV will integrate the Spike ATGM, whereas the AMV offering will instead have dismount fired Spike or MMP.

AMV

As I said the last time you made this thread, the Terrex II because it is the likely winner of the ACV selection for the USMC.

Why do you think the Terrex will trump the SuperAV?
Regardless, the Australians don't have any requirements for amphibious capability and the armour/sensor options are beyond what's on offer in the ACV 1.1 competition.

Bought it for a dollar at a local swap meet, all I know about it is that it is 75mm because I used calipers, and it has a hole in the base.
So I got 2 opinions.
Old marine vet says its HE cuz it has "a fuse hole in the base." But hes straight up tinfoil status and has been known to wildly exaggerate things in the past.
2nd opinion is that its a solid steel AP round, or a training round, but that guy is airforce and admits that he doesnt really know.
I know that ww2 era 75mm shells had base detonating fuses, but im also kinda not sure cuz its outside my era of UXO expierience. So what is it /k/
(Inb4 any of you tell me to hit it with a hammer, ive been blown up twice already, no need to test my luck with a 3rd)

to me, it doesn't look right for ww2 75mm.
those looked more like bullets, this is very fat and bulged out.
maybe ww1?

I always hated that picture
He seems to be implying that the kid's letter is somehow stupid, yet the kid isn't the one who joined the military to go off to war. And the way he is nonchalantly letting the cigarette hang from his mouth while making that stupid face seems to conceal a little pain in his eyes. As if he knows that despite his "service" to the US his wife is being serviced by someone else back home. Maybe he is taking out his frustration about his failed marriage by trying to mock a child that is ernestly wishing him well, but that is no excuse. He needs to man the fuck up and stop trying to get attention/sympathy online and instead plan for what he is going to do for money once he is can no longer be on the government dole
>>
>>29886286
Okay, I'll say that not EVERY military service member is a chuck, and I'll say you also seem Assmad, but I do have to say that you're probably right.
He's bitching about a letter from a kid telling him to enjoy what he signed up for. It's stupid as fuck.

I found the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with a long time ago, and now I'm ready to propose. Pic semi-related, bare with me here.
She likes guns, so I have this idea; I'm proposing with a ring, and a gun. I know for a fact she'll say yes because we've been talking about it for months now.
I already have a nice ring bought, but here's the idea about the gun; she loves 1911s. So I want to buy a nice one, and have it custom engraved, with the words "Till Death Do Us Part" engraved on the slide in fancy writing.
What does /k/ think? Is it a good idea? Would any female /k/ommandos say yes to that if their man proposed with that?

So I'm a fairly muscular, 220 lbs guy, and I'm gonna be buying my first self-loading rifle. This is actually gonna be my first firearm at all, since I gotta get a firearms license in this state to have guns. I'm gonna go with a short stroke piston since I'd like to get a rifle I can get decent follow up shots with.
There are three rifles I can get for a decent price range. Starting from the cheapest to the most expensive options are Vz 58 in 7.62x39, FN FAL in 7,62x51 and an FN-49 in .30-06
I believe I have a pretty good physical strength, but which one of these rifles is the best all things considered? How is the recoil for each cartridge- does it allow for easy follow up shots? Are the rifles good for prolonged training sessions? How accurate are they? Which one represents the best balance of power and recoil for someone like me?

Something chambered in 7.62x39 is good for a first gun, mostly because of how cheap the round is.
>>
>>29880597
are you in the US, do you have prior experience with weapons?
>>
>>29880597
Your physical strength wont matter much for dealing with recoil, but more so handling the rifle. All of your listed rifles are fantastic, i suggest the vz for cheapness of ammo
