How badly is this women in the infantry going to fuck up US combat effectiveness? How long do you give it before we see physical standards for women dropped for combat roles, just like happened after women were allowed in the rest of the military?
>>29764335
It's really not. The infantry has been a whiny piece of shit for years. The 82nd was one of the most underwhelming and disappointing places I've been in my life.
>>29764335
>implying its any worse than Walrus team 6
>>29764335
so i was reading when the marines did there study about mixed unit effectiveness, the mixed in a bunch new woman, with more experienced marines. and had them compared with a standard unit.
Did I read Wrong? why the fuck wouldnd they compare two green units?

So you pretty much read the whole fucking thing you retard
Why does /k/ have more than one of each type of weapon? What makes you want to collect more than one of each of the following:
Carry pistol
Full-size sidearm
Carbine/Assault rifle/Intermediate cartridge thingy
Battle rifle
Bolt rifle with good optic
Shotgun
Plinker
I love guns, but I don't understand why you'd have more than the best of each of these you could afford. Maybe an investment with a plan to sell? Maybe as an armory to make sure your friends have something in case of SHTF? Why?
Also, list your best in class for each category, I'll start:
LCP
Beretta M9A3
AR-15
PTR-91
Remington 700
Saiga 12
Ruger 10/22
When shit hits the fan, you'll have plenty to pass around.
because you enjoy the hobby of shooting and like the idea of having many different ways to do it? seriously, how is this hard to understand? have you ever gone to a bar and drank three different kinds of beer in a night, or do you only stick to steel reserve because you're poor?
anyway
Sig P320c
Colt O1980RG 1911
AR15
SCAR
Benelli M2
10/22
>>29763730
Yes. Same reason why I have more than one set of screwdrivers, more than one hammer, more than one motorcycle helmet, etc. You can never have too many toys.
>I love guns, but I don't understand why you'd have more than the best of each of these you could afford. Maybe an investment with a plan to sell? Maybe as an armory to make sure your friends have something in case of SHTF? Why?
First, because if you understand what you are dealing with, you'll know that there is no such thing as "the best gun in its class." Everything is a compromise, and there are always going to be guns that are about the same as your gun, but does something better than your gun does.
Can you put more interesting stuff in here and if yes does anybody?
>>29763710
maybe a fleshlight
Confetti to celebrate victory?

So. I'm a 20 year old. Turning 21 soon, looking at handguns. I'm planning on carrying some sort of polymer sub $400 compact (fns-c, m&p C, glock 26, PPS, etc) but I want a "range/tactical" 9mm. I've always liked the looks and ergos of the cz75s I've finger-fucked, but I hear a lot of bad press about czs here
>bad finish
>tool marks
>a quality that doesn't match the pricetag of the firearm
So, I wanted to talk about clones
Turkshit
Swissshit
Kikeshit
Slavshit
Of course, discussion of the cz75 and variants is cool too.
>>29763604
Ignore the bullshit, most CZ owners are happy with their guns and you'll be happy with it too if you buy one. As for the clones I can't speak for them so, yeah.
dont buy a clone save more and buy what you really want. money is easy to replace
>>29763604
>Swissshit
I know how you're using *shit to just describe where the gun was made, but Sphinx are such fantastic guns made to very high standards, so it's kind of insulting to use shit to describe them.
If you can afford a Sphinx, get one.
And yeah, CZ's kinda suck. Poorfags will defend them till their dying breath, but that's just what they do.
Saw pic related used w 3 mags & 2 holsters for $450.

went back after lunch and it was .
dun goofd story thread i guess
>>29763512
you fucked up
>>29763512
That's about what they go for, especially if it was an older one. More common price is going to be in the low $500's for the .40 and the .45 - not the 9mm, those go for about $150 more.
Aren't HKs made in China?
Compound bow vs. recurve bow which is the true king of archery.
>>29763478
Kind of depends. Recurved works great for some types of shots but compound bows are better for precise shots since they're easier to hold at full draw.
Compound bow is more effective.
That said, bows are not used in such a harsh way today, that it really matters.
Its really whatever. Your main limitation is draw weight for hunting, or accuracy for target shooting anyhow.

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.

Thirteen men can easily overpower a single tiger.
