The Springfield was the first bolt action rifle in the world

first bolt action SERVICE rifle.

It says service rifle. Learn to read.
It's still wrong, but slightly less so.

But it wasn't anywhere near the first service rifle either. Bolt action rifles were present in military service for half a century before the Springfield came along.
The body of the Russian Soldier who called an airstrike on himself has been recovered
>Tass news agency said special forces Snr Lt Alexander Prokhorenko was posthumously awarded the Hero of Russia medal by President Vladimir Putin.
>He died after calling in a Russian air strike to hit IS fighters who had surrounded him, Russian media reported.
>According to the Russian government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta, Prokhorenko directed a Russian air strike on IS after telling his commander by radio: "I'm surrounded - they're here, I don't want them to get me".
>A transcript of the radio message appeared on social media. "I request an air strike. They'll mutilate me and my uniform. I want to die with dignity, and I want all these scumbags to die with me. Please fulfil my last request," he was quoted as saying.
>His body fell into IS hands, but later Syrian Kurdish rebels in the YPG militia managed to recover it and hand it over to the Russian military, Rossiiskaya Gazeta said. The AFP news agency also reported that version of events.

ON MY POSITION
Alpha as fuck
>>29783517
Oh yeah, the totally not friendly fired guy
;_;7 We will never forget you brave Russian soldier
He rests eternally in heaven alongside Yevgeny Rodionov
So I live in the state of Maryland. They have ridiculously stupid AR laws. I have looked at the GII Recon, but I think I am going to get this as my first gun. I am 5'7'' so this gun won't be too small for me.
Do you think this is a bad call for a first rifle? Keep in mind, Maryland, dumbest gun laws in the country.
>>29783510
Do yourself a favor and get a lever-action or Muzzle Loader if you intend to stay in Maryland. You can actually buy some fun building kits for Black Powder rifles and unless black powder is banned your firearm will always be legal because it only uses one round. On the other hand Lever-actions, especially tubed ones, tend to get around a lot of gun laws.
A better option is to move.
>>29783510
What the fuck is with that stupidly long barrel?
>>29783510
Come to PA my brother in arms. We love people like you. As long as you vote for people with R next to their name.
I was selling a P99AS and the guy is offering a trade for 1 of his guns is a 92A1, USP or a P30LS.
Which one is more durable and reliable? I have to make up my mind before tomorrow but Im not even sure if they guy is stupid.
>>29783452
I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure I'm in love.
>>29783452
What caliber is the USP? If it's .45 or 9mm i'd go with USP, they can't be beat
>>29783452
The P30 series is supposedly the latest and greatest from H&K...
As for the 92a1, I wouldnt go for it. Heard too many complaints about it. Regardless, you're trading in a Walther for an H&K. Its a helluva upgrade
What are the chances of joining the US Army or Marines with a GED...?
Go to a recruiter and ask
>>29783396
Dunno about the Army, but the Marines would be a zero percent chance.
They don't like having someone smarter than them around.
>>29783396
Low. It's possible but they prefer people to have their high school diploma, you need to get a higher asvab to get in as well. You're chances are better if you take a full semester of college courses.
Were there any real combat between NATO and soviet jets ?
I'm only talking about 2 jets engaging each other not two squadrons .
I heard that a incident like that between one Libyan mig and one Italian f16 happened
>>29783392
Yes.
No, shit like that would've triggered WW. If Turkey shot down that russian jet 30 years ago it would've caused a war.
>>29783392
Pretty much constantly, just not necessarily between actual NATO or Warsaw Pact member states. Israel was one of the first to get F-15s and curbstomped Russian-made fighters with them, for instance.
Hi /k/ onegunz here (shitty mosin). What is the best revolver for entry level? I really want a single action of some sort, preferably 45lc. Help. I have a rough rider on the way, just to learn how to use a single action system. I really want a 45lc tho. Do what's the best? Preferably under 300$. Is pic related good?
>>29783384
No advice on topic but I will say get a 357, its going to be more versatile and cheaper to shoot with 38spec
>>29783384
The pattern on the pic is shitty for a case hardened skin, wouldn't even give 10 keys for it.
>>29783384
Ruger New Vaquero. I think they're like $500+, but they're great guns. I have one in .45 ACP and it's the tits.
you white people better BACK THE FUCK UP
>>29783374
Why? I'd just hit a wall, and its not like I have anything against ice T.
>>29783374
>>29783374
He didn't say anything about white people, you race-baiting faggot.
Can somebody in MS take me shooting? I dont own any guns but I would like to learn.
I have a hard time believing you live in Mississippi and don't know a single gun owner
>>29783337
Im a shutin shy girly guy in MS. I dont know anyone besides my parents.
>>29783337
You're on 4chan mate. I know /k/ is a normalfag board, but there's a lot of unsocial people with zero friends on this site.
Is there a helmet I can wear that can take a 7.62 NATO point blank?
If you don't want to break your neck trying to wear it, no.
>>29783256
Altyn?
>>29783275
Lol that won't happen idiot
Are red dots a meme?
Since when is this "everything is a meme" meme become /k/'s favorite meme?
>>29783173
meme
depends if you want to consistently secure kill-streaks or not
I keep hearing it's preferrable to usr them in semi only, then I hear 5.56x45mm is burst-fire oriented.
So how is it, really?
Semi auto for everything, full auto for emergencies only.
I was issued a semi / 3rd burst M4 with no full auto.
It's like they don't trust Army with full autos.
Then again everything is now women and PC and the PC crowd are dumb as shit.
I had just a little bit of hope left, but when I did basic we hardly trained on weapons and there was hours of SHARP bullshite.
Long story short most of us were seriously injured and discharged, and i'm the only one who wasn't shot.
>That feel when I didn't get to inna-desert
>>29783117
Semi-auto for EVERYTHING except charging enemy positions. Official Finnish Defence Force doctrine. So if you're expecting to fight an enemy at a hugging distance, you're better off with full-auto with bayonet attached.
Do note though that a charge is not the same thing as an assault or an attack. A charge is a continous movement into enemy positions from a distance less than 50 metres, during which you continue running until you reach your destination. Essentially a bayonet charge.
These fucking dickheads can't into security before using a system that stores IDs and FFL data. Some leet haxxor (probably 4chan himself) wrecked their shit.
Anyone else get the letter today?
>>29783079
nope but it's been a year since I've purchased from them, give more details on the situation.
Why not copy and post what the email said?
No e-mail on my end. The last thing I purchased from them were those Jerichos that went up. I think that was over a year ago.
No letter for me, did get an email about a sale.
They've got p64s on sale for 200, worth it?
THEY'VE SENT IN THE SUPERS!
oh shit, /k/! Super battle Droids supported by regular battle Droids are closing in on your position! What real world guns do you grab to hold em off?
>>29782947
A target.
I walk by them all unharmed.
They end up shooting themselves.
MG42. Who needs accuracy with that many bullets
>TFW new Battlefront is shit.
What are the chances this gets repealed or reversed after Obama leaves office by the next POTUS? (Buddies SBRs)
>>29782944
almost zero that is why I have 14 stamps pending right now
So let me get this straight, we have until June to form trusts before they're closed or whatever and if you don't do that, you need to wait nearly a year if you ever do pay for a stamp?
>>29782974
It's so dumb because the only people filing for NFA items are law abiding citizens... Yet again they make it harder for us to who follow the law to get these guns.
