Rifle passed down from a deceased friend. From what I can tell, it is a 1947 Model 36 Marlin 30-30, serial 16XXX. Has obvious damage and some nicks. Eventually going to take it to a professional to look at but wanted /k/'s opinion.

Picture isn't mine but is same model. Photos I have are too large for mobile. Will try on my desktop.

Anybody remember those silly looking German helmets? Well they just saved the life of one police officer.

As some of you may have heard about a week ago Germany got culturally enriched by a Kurd shooting people in a disco with his trusty M16. Now before people scream terrorism this particular Muslim has been living in Germany since 1991 and that older generation is more interested in drug dealing,bodily harm and organized crime than religion. (Kinda like different types of terminators have different weaknesses)

That aside the interesting thing is that this particular Musliminator shot a police officer in the head (at close range I assume) and the bullet didn't go through the helmet.

Are there any benefits for incendiary artillery shells as opposed to explosive artillery shells? When would you favor one over the other.

Are napalm or white phosphorous shells more or less lethal than shells meant to kill by shrapnel and concussive force

I have two carry pieces. A Glock 19 and an LCP2. I can shoot the Glock 19 pretty well and I shoot it often, but it's a pain to wear. I have sciatica so pretty much within an hour of wearing it on my hip I start to get lower back pain, especially when I walk.

The LCP on the other hand is a dream to carry. I just slip it in my pocket and I don't even know it's there, but I can't shoot for shit with it. It slaps my hand hard no matter how tight I hold it and after about 25 rounds I usually just give up, and I can't get a two hand grip on it without putting my thumb too close to the barrel for comfort, so I usually just end up shooting it one handed. Shooting Federal Hydrashock JHP makes the recoil far more tolerable and I can actually make some OK groups, but at 67 cents a round it's not really affordable to practice with. What should I do?

1)try to make the Glock work. maybe a hybrid leather/kydex holster with a faggy suspender setup would work better for me than the current pure kydex holster, then only carry the LCP if I absolutely cannot strap on the glcok

2)pony up for more Federal Hydrashock rounds and learn to shoot the LCP2 effectively. If anyone has any recommendations for cheaper, low recoil .380 I'd gladly take them.

3)Find an intermediate gun that is easier to shoot than the LCP but smaller than the glock.

I can't be the only one with this issue.

Thread is more about CC setups themselves then just posting your EDC

Let's have a bit of fun with a what if:

In this timeline the 91 Coup happened, and was still defeated, but the Union of Sovereign States/USS isn't shelved and goes through as originally intended. The Warsaw Pact collapsed as per the original timeline. This leaves a mostly intact post-USSR that still suffers from the problems the USSR did, and the successor states, so there would likely be reduced military spending, but nothing on the scale of what happened after the dissolution of the union in real life. While the USS would almost certainly move further from communism, this wouldn't necessarily translate into less international tension, because it would lack the Warsaw Pact buffers, it would still represent a major power bloc with interests against the West's and there would still be a great deal of changes happening geopolitically and a lot of uncertainty relating to that.

So let's assume the Cold War doesn't end, but changes. What would this mean for military procurement in the past three decades? What would the US military look like now, and the USS? What about the rest of NATO and former WP? I would imagine we'd see stuff like wider F-22 production, the Commanche would have been built, we'd have Seawolfs rather than Virginias, but what else? What would happen politically in Europe? How would China's rise compare?

TL;DR - The USSR survives as the USS, minus the Warsaw Pact, what happens to the world, and what happens to its armies?
