Fucking guns. Why do we even put up with this bullshit? Pic not exactly related, I just don't have any more fucks to give right now.

Nice blog post faggot
I'm glad I got the Brownells MagnaTip set, I can grind a head to fit the screw if I need to and then just ask for a replacement.

What gun is it?
>China has conducted a successful test flight of its hypersonic DF-2F missile, capable of speeds of up to 7,000 mph (11,000 kph) according to sources within the US Pentagon. If confirmed this would be the seventh successful flight of the DF-2F, and comes just days after Russia successfully flew its own hypersonic test missile.
>There are fears within the Pentagon that China might be perfecting an even quicker missile, the DF-ZF (also known as WU-14), which can reach speeds of 11,000 kph - making it too fast for any anti missile systems to deal with. The delivery system could enable China to reach any point in the world with a nuclear missile in under one hour.
>The Russian Navy has claimed it will have a series of hypersonic missiles ready to use by 2017. The missiles would have a relatively short range of 400 miles but could be used to knock out enemy ships without warning.

I still want to know what this miracle weapon uses for terminal guidance.

Let's see some pics of the great Altyn helmet, mainly ones where they screw around.
Only one I've got.
>>29770007
bumping for glorious helmet
I just realized that I have one with a doge.
Post here what you've just bought or looking to buy.
Is the Remington 783 any good? Friend wants to buy a 700 but he said he can sell me his 783 for cheap. I was looking at getting a 700 VTR myself at first.
I really really want an RDB.
Someone find me one.
>>29769998
Phase plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. Thanks.
a 1960s German-U.S. joint project to develop a new main battle tank, which was to be equipped with a number of advanced features. It utilized a newly developed hydropneumatic "kneeling" suspension and housed the entire crew in the large turret. >The MBT-70 was armed with a 152mm XM150 gun/launcher, which could use conventional ammunition and the Shillelagh missile for long range combat.
What went wrong?
>>29769879
Well it gave nearly every driver motion sickness from being in the turret.
When the turret moved the drivers seat would automatically be aligned with the forward direction of the hull. Constantly moving and causing great disorientation.
>>29769879
America and Germany couldn't agree and moved the fuck on with their lives and own development teams.
>>29769879
As I understand it there were issues with the 152mm cannon/launcher as well. At least there were on the Sheridan. Something about firing the cannon would knock the missile guidance system out of alignment, or vice versa.
What does /k/ think about the H&K USP? Thinking of getting one. Any input or experiences would be appreciated.
>>29769682
Yo homie
>>29769682
Can't decide if I should get p99 or USP.
I finger fucked a USP was nice as hell
>>29769714
Same, though I'm stuck between a 92 and a USP. The oversized slide just makes manipulating the USP fun but fuck that mag release.
I am aware CS:GO is just a videogame, but why the hell is the AWP seen as more powerful than the SSG 08?
They both use 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) cardriges, or at least are the most common variants of them. Both can be chambered for .338 Lapua Magnum, which is more powerdful.
As for barrel length, according to Wikipedia the AWP has a barrel length of 610mm, while the SSG 08 has available barrel lengthths of 508 mm, 600 mm or 690 mm.
Is there anything I am missing or is there really no good reason the AWP is considered more powerful than the SSG 08?
>>29769525
Dont try to make sense of that game, you'll hurt yourself.
>>29769538
I dunno, perhaps there was something I was missing that could remotely justify that difference
>>29769547
no they think the scout is shooting 7,62x39 I believe.
Just bought a ps4, want to pretend to be an operator. What games does /k/ reccomend
>>29769446
TAKE YOUR AUTISTIC FUCKING SHIT THREAD TO /V/ YOU FUCKING BASTARD GODDAMN THIS IS NOT WEAPONS RELATED SAGE GOES IN ALL FIELD
>>29769446
None on the PS4 faggot

Idk man mgsv was pretty fucking /k/ool
A strong Navy is all that matters, if you have a powerful blue water Navy no one can touch you at home and you can project force anywhere.
America could have 50k troops and still be on top.
>>29769112
what are nukes ?
>>29769124
what is an Ohio class submarine?
>>29769112
If you have a weak population and are undermined at home, no air force, army, or navy will save you.

How does this make /k/ feel?
Anyone here that actually earned a bronze star care.
>>29769104
Okay the comment about how the medal should only reward those in combat makes me really sad that people really do think the majority of the military is just jarheads.

I'm starting to wonder if Obama is secretly pro-gun. That or the antis have fully horse shoe effected themselves.
>>29769033
Once police use it and have data to show it "works" we're next....
....you Really believed what you just said?
There isn't a "smart gun" one the market that is in 9mm or .40sw.
>>29769065
There isn't a chance in hell LEOs go with this.
I was just watching this documentary on Gulf War v1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fegFGllS3w8&feature=youtu.be&t=12m56s
It's a pretty interesting program even with the shit animations. It did make me question
I know the vast majority of a2a kills in the First Gulf War were beyond visual range. 75% or so If i recall. Still, in the program you see the F-15 pilots give testimony where they hesitated to fire missiles and instead preferred to get closer to the enemy to positively ID them as hostile.
Was radar ID really that bad in 1990? What has changed since then?
I always imagined modern air superiority operations to be meticulous and well-coordinated, whereas this program made it seem like it was more certain squadrons randomly engaging enemy airplanes with little or no knowledge of where friendly planes were.
Fog of war and all that hasn't changed, so can we expect the next proper A2A engagement to be as hectic as this program made it seem?
>>29769022
>Was radar ID really that bad in 1990? What has changed since then?
Yes.
IFF has gotten a lot better.
>>29769039
What stops enemies from using our IFF to designate targets?
I'd assume its on a small identifying band, but to be received by friendly receivers it still needs to be a relatively strong signal
>>29769061
IFF gets recoded in the battlefield, at least thats what they told us during Stinger school where the unit can detect current and old IFF.
Give me some talking points to discuss, also what was the anti gun bill that was illegally forced through.? Pic unrelated.
>>29769019
>illegally forced through
It was the Hughes Amendment to the Firearm Owners Protection Act.

For those vox type liberals
Is overkill even a real term in warfare?
This was an annoying sniper, they used a 6 foot missle to end him.
>>29768962
Cheaper than a human bean
>>29768962
Yes.
While using a missile or small bomb to take out a the sniper in your pic would be considered enough for such a mission, a 2,000lb bomb would be considered a waste of resources.
>>29768962
He was an HVT. If he was killing men or halting a key movement for any longer than deemed acceptable, a missile is a simple way to save time and bodies.
Has anyone here tried launching explosives from one of these?
ATF plz no kill dog.
>>29769012
No ATF here
>>29769024
That's exactly what the ATF would say.
