What is it that can force a man to fight to the death?
I feel that motivation was lost in men at least half a millennium ago.
I know not of a single man, including myself, who would stand and die with Leonidas at the Battle of Thermopylae, knowing I would die.
>>29789791
Not wanting to die
Well that was some real stupid shit you wrote there OP, this is now a cringe thread.
>>29789791
Bitch made niggas. I would gladly die defending my homeland or America for that matter.
I recently got a bunch of stuff for my IFAK, what else do I need? Also:

I was at the FLGS the other day, look at some 10mm pistols to take into bear country. The old man behind the counter told me a bit about the .460 rowland, a conversion kit for 45s that rival the power of a .44 Magnum.
Does anyone on /k/ have experience with this?
>>29789666
>Does anyone on /k/ have experience with this?
Looks like the guy in your picture has.
>>29789666
Not with that exact circumstance, but I'm always wary of increasing pressures over what the factory proofed. Case in point - Glock in 40s&w and +p equaling breech failure
>>29789674
The old man also related an anecdote about a glawk exploding in someone's hand, but according to this picture it happens to steel pistols too.
At 10:00.

How do you feel about humanitarian groups in live combat environments? And the fact that no one has statistical evidence of if they are effective or not? Are they a hindrance? He also discusses an experiment started by the US Air Force that involved giving money to Kandahar refugees to see if they in turn give money to the Taliban or not.
Humanitarian groups like Doctors Without Borders and missionaries only exist to make their members feel good and to give them something to brag about if they make it back home.
Its a good conversation starter. But that's its only value.
They cannot provide consistence medical care. Everything they do is patchwork. Their patients suffer and likely die of reopened wounds down the line. There are no post-operation observation periods. Just hackneyed work that makes medical students and the religious pat themselves on the back.

>>29789476
Well thats just plainly false
Doctors without borders were one of the only groups who went in and helped the Africans from the ebola outbreak and AIDS epidemic when it first broke out.
They are all over the world sacrificing time and money to help third world shitholes get some semblance of proper medical care.
They should be banned, along with journalists and other busybodies.

JSF was never about building a plane, just like the Iraq war was never about oil.
It's about war profiteering. If you solve a problem you stop getting paid to solve the problem.
JSF, Zumwalt, LCS, all the same thing. They're not designing weapons. At least, not on purpose. The reason for all these programs is to cut fat checks to LockMart and friends.
I garuntee that the LRSB will be exactly the same story. Did you know they classified the cost of that program? McCain was pissed.
Is artillery still the king of battle?
Do we even use artillery anymore?
>>29789184
Artillery is good for area denial since you can just sit on it with minimal costs, doesn't need fuel and what not. Good for cheap effective base defense.
Mobile artillery is good for areas where strong anti air capabilities are present.

I'll confess to being a flare gun fanboy. The different styles over the years fascinate me.
I found two pictures of what is supposed to be a Russian flare gun that converts to a single shot shotgun. I haven't been able to learn anything else about it.
Does anyone know what type of flare gun this is? And if it's available in the U.S.?
Pic 1 of 2.
Pic 2 of 2.
And general flare gun thread,I guess. I'll bump periodically with pictures for as long as the thread lives.
Here's my Polish flare pistol that I modified with an ACOG mount to mount to picatinny rails. I'll see if I have a pic of it in it's current condition, spray painted it tan to cover up the grey JB weld.
>>29789178
I cleaned up all the shit that was oozing down the sides after I took this pic, by the way. It's not as fugly as it looks there. It's in this one on my airshit rifle. Still gonna look for a close up.
I hope this is /k/ related.
So, I'm going on a road trip across the US in a few months, and wanted to know what I can do to defend myself. Right now, I'm a connecticunt, and I'll be going to Oregon, down to Arizona, and back east to Tennessee, where I'll make a more permanent stop.
I'll also have a small trailer I'll be living out of for that time, if that changes things. I do not have a carry permit, as getting one here is absolutely rediculous.
>I have no carry permit
>moving across state lines
Your option is have situational awareness and don't be a dumbass. Your car is a ~1.5 ton gasoline powered battering ram though; if things get hairy just mash the go pedal.
Are you planning to take scenic back roads or mostly interstate?
>>29789183
It'll be mostly interstate, but I'm going off it to see some stuff, but I'm not traveling on them.
I'll get some pictures of my map on roadtripper.
Most dangerous part is that it's taking me through shitcago. Anyone know a good way around, maybe with some bros in that area?
Can you re-use crossbow bolts like you can an arrow?
>>29789132
Yes, providing it still looks safe to use. Always inspect every arrow and bolt before reusing.

Stop what you're doing and watch this video, before you make any of the wrong decisions or buy into the hype that is modern archery. Lars Andersen has studied the actual historical texts that warrior archers learned from, and compiled a style created from accurate, practicality driven teachings. Modern archers will want to load you up with all kinds of compounds bows, sights, quivers, carbon fiber arrows, etc. These are all generic consumer products that will not actually help you grow as an archer, rather hinder you by building bad habits and reliance on them.
Seriously, don't fall into the modern myths of archery, the study is changing and Lars is leading the way, following him is following thousands of years of far more effective archers than we can hope to become today.
>>29789163
100% agree, before I watched these videos I could barely hit the side of a barn from 10 yards, now I'm firing 3 arrows during a midair backflip and nailing the bullseye each time.
Lars has truly revolutionized archery back to the glory days of triple backflips and CQB tactics which are far more effective and deadly than any firearm.
Where can I get real information about poisons?
There's very little information about them on the Internet, almost as if it's being deliberately repressed or censored. Specifically, I want to know if there are any poisons that are practical to use in a blowgun on a human target. I know things such as botulism, curare, dart frogs, and ricin could probably kill someone with a blowdart tipped in them, but how quickly? There is no real information or studies, just ignorant people talking with no evidence.
Is the idea that a dart can kill in under a minute just Hollywood bullshit, or can it really be done?
Hollywood.
They can kill, but not effectively stop an assailant immediately
>>29788901
VX is pretty fast. doubt you can get it though.
Also the way it kills is brutal, the guy will break his own spine basically.
Even with purity contents in some samples exceeding 97%, death is normally between 24 hours to 7 days.
The few "poisons" that have the Hollywood Death Syndrome are just pharmaceuticals that cause cardiac arrest.
"Where can I get real information..."
A lot of that information fell through the cracks after the revamp of the CIA in the 60's and the KGB in the late 90's. Because we have such a rapidly-expanding medical field, most basic concoctions can quickly be caught and expunged, or if not, put the body on stasis and clean out certain organs.
Don't know if we've had a thread on this.
Your thoughts?

Beretta 92FS vs Taurus PF92 AF
I have been doing some reading on the two but would like other opinions. Pros and cons if you got any other than price difference.
>Buying a Taurus ever
pls
>>29788815
I've been reading very positive things about this particular Taurus. That's why I'm posting the question. I would like to see if anyone has any experiences with it.
>>29788808
The safety is on the receiver and it's cheaper.
That's it.
