Is being an aviator the best deal in the US Navy /k/?
>>29788799
No, you should go into Nukes.
>>29788807
DONT DO THIS, SEND HELP!
Sure, until it comes to an actual war in contested airspace.
VICE shoving propaganda like the lefty cunts they are
but there's a MG42 being used by one of the kebabs

Why are the M4 and m16 used over the m1a in long range desert combat deployments? My experience with my m1a has been a series of dead accurate iron sights and a bigger bullet. What's your opinion?
>>29788697
M1A is shit
>>29788699
But why? Have you ever actually used one?
Mostly because the US military is hellishly averse to having multiple weapons platforms in use and available.
Have a chance to buy a KSG for what I think is a good price ($500). Has plastic magpul flip ups and a 'red dot' which I assume means walmart dot.
How bad are they? I generally avoid everything Lel makes but these seem unique and possibly fun.
>>29788630
They're well designed, light, easy to strip down, very compact. I have shot one, though I don't own one. Finding one under $700 is pretty close to impossible.
>>29788630
for that price buy it as an investment piece. seriously.
I paid $399 for a PLR-16 years ago. It's held it's value.

Thanks anons. Seems like if I don't dig it I can at least get my money back out of it easily.
Are self defense knives an effective way to defend yourself?
Is it worthwhile to have a rifle, your sidearm and then a knife?
Or is the knife completely unnecessary?
>>29788506
Think of a knife as a tool rather than weapon.
>>29788506
>What's the matter Red....you scared!!?
>>29788506
A knife is not a good self defense weapon. That said, if you can get in close and stab a motherfucker repeatedly, you might do alright. Best have some strong muscles, though. Shit's not easy.
Hi /k/
I'm looking for a reliable handgun to IPSC Production. It has to be striker fired.
My choice comes down to VP9 and P320.
What would You guys recommend me for my first gun?
>>29788459
>to IPSC Production
Go shoot both, /k/ literally does not matter for something like this.
>>29788478
Truth be told, I've shot P320 i kind of like it, its ergonomics feel way better than G17. The problem is that nobody around ows VP9 and I've heard it's very decent gun, a little above P320.
But VP9's barrel length equals 4,1 inches, while P320 it's 4,7. Difference nearly as between G17 and G19
>>29788493
i have both, don't know if i'd agree with the vp9 being a little better than the 320, the 320 has a better trigger that's for sure. with the modularity i'd actually give a nod to the 320.
Is this a functional uniform and, or is it based on any existing uniform? What kind of uniform is it? Seem like a flight suit to me and those old style jungle boots. What is that crotch rigging for? Some type of harness for being in a chopper?
>>29788453
Actually, it really resembles this. Actually one of my favourite pictures.
>>29788453
>Crotch rigging
It's a harness that can be used for extraction or for personnel retention during rotary transport.
>>29788453
>Flightsuit
>Average LBV, Helmet, Eyepro
Only Fulton/Heli extraction rig traces to accentuate the groin stand out, otherwise it's an average uniform. I believe there are traces of picrelated (Either SEALs or USCG TACLET).
I believe something like pic was also the basis of PeaceWalker's Peace Sentinels
Is the PTR-91 any good? I really like the aesthetics of the G3.
Fuckit I'll post again later today then
>>29788248
it is good and very modestly priced for a battle rifle
Yeah they're good, but they don't have all the features of other guns
Is the EF88 Austeyr that good? and why have the ADF picked it up? I don't get it desu, though i'm sort of a newfag to /k/ and guns in general
Having had to use an M4 carbine in combat, thank fuck we chose the EF88.
The last thing Colt made that worked as advertised was the 1911. In 1911.
>>29788577
Are you SF or something?
>>29788206
It looks like there are some fundamental problems that the EF88 upgrade doesn't address. Chief among them is the mostly fixed length, which can be a problem for especially tall or short users, and also the lack of full ambidexterity.
I'm a Kiwi and our defence force switched to the AR-based CQB16.
...I always thought Austeyr was a really neat name though
>tfw you just want bbs to be used again
>>29788197
I want twinkies and ARs boi
>>29788197
I want my head between her legs
>>29788447
don't we all.
Since the F135 engine is ramping up to full production, do you think it will find it's way into other jets that use much older and less powerful engines?
I am not sure what the F135 is designed for, but I am increasingly impressed by the engineering that goes into a jet engine.
The RS71 is decades old tech but its damn complicated shit
>>29787898
The F135 engine powers the F35.
it's a variant of the F22's F119 engines.
>>29787913
As far as I can tell, the F35 project is a huge amalgamation of compromise. It was designed to be a jack of all trades and as such a master of none, so I would assume this also applies to its engine. For that reason alone I would say they wouldn't convert other jets for the F135.
However of course it is new tech, and may boast in advantage in that regard.
I suppose there are 2 things to consider, reliability and performance. If a currently installed engine provides both, then it'd be a good idea to stick with it. On top of that, if this was designed to replace say the F18/F16, then surely theres no need to engine swap.
Thats my 2p
Any good in skinning an animal with a tanto ?
>>29787755
Kind of big but if it was all you had it'd work, that type of point is made for stabbing armored targets without breaking the blade.
>>29787755
Sure as shit not what I'd use but I'm sure you could make it work with patience.
>>29787755
Skinning knives are curved with a hooked blade because that is the shape that works best for skinning things. A tanto is straight without a hooked blade. I'm sure you can draw your own conclusions
Someone please tell me where it all went wrong?
Like, at what point did we reach the precipice of all of this meme niggery collapsing all over every single fucking thread of /k/? I know /k/ has always been full a faggots/furries/noguns, but this shit is more cancerous than a fucking brain tumor that has metastasized to the entire CNS. Is it too late for an extremely invasive procedure to remove this shit?
tl;dr: What went wrong and when? Possible solutions?
>>29787495
Holy shit, OP fell for the AR15, .45ACP, Sig Sauer, alien gear, condir rigs, bushnell and KRISS vector memes
Because the people in this board HAVE to respond. It's all attention, and this board is easy to get attention from. There are so many people that have never owned a gun before but are ready like minutemen to defend the one they obsess over and read the same articles on 5 times a day. Meme is a simple way to get all the attention a person could want, or to try and spark up a fight worthy of screencap, because we all know how the users here lust for stories to tell more than they lust for traps.
>>29787495
It's 3am. Australia woke up.
What do you want to buy /k/? I want a makarov and a Berretta 84fs (pic related). And to finish my AR.
At the moment, I want a Beretta 92g. I don't really care for the slide mounted safety on the 92fs but I really dig the gun. So I figure the next best thing is the decocker only model. Can you get new 92g's, i read that beretta started making them again but whenever I search, all that comes up are the Wilson combat brigadier 92g's and they are kinda expensive.
Im also itching for a milsurp rifle for some reason and am leaning towards a m48 Mauser.
>>29787415
a pal of mine has an m48 mauser. I shot it afew times, enjoyed it. Would recommend. As for the 92g's I personally don't know.
>>29787362
aka, poor fag general
Well /k/ I'm turning 21 soon, so it's time for me to buy my own handgun.
I've narrowed down my choices to pic related. I live in New Orleans so I'm interested in concealed carry but I also can't carry at school, which is where I am most of the time. My gun will probably live in my car and under my pillow (very frequent robberies in the area I'm moving to).
Let me know what you think
Feel free to recommend anything else, but know that I fucking despise glocks.
>>29787306
God dammit reply to my fucking thread I want to know what to spend my money on
Buy the dildo
>>29787347
I have an lcp and a dildo. Cc both daily. Lcp is actually not a bad plinking toy if you get used to it and have private land to shoot it on. Fuck taking it to the range thoygh. I'm 500 rounds in, only one ftf
