So who would be a better soldier?

I've heard that smaller quicker reacting people can take cover more effectively leading to a higher survival rate, but I've also heard that large people are way more resistant to shock and bloodloss.

Ive also seen statistics that in the soviet army larger men died first while in the SS and to a lesser extent the wehrmacht larger men survived better.

I'll find them and post them eventually

Definitely the guy on the left. It's not realistic to maintain the level of muscle mass you see on the right while on deployment.

Hey /k/, I lurk here time to time and I seen people asking this, but should I join the army when I am depressed and just want some meaning in my life? I am currently about to graduate from college (4th year, computer science major) and I lost all my friends do to going to different colleges and some other stupid reason that if someone asks, I can go into the specifics.

I am graduating from an alright college, around 3-4th in state, but I chose not to go to a public school and instead go to a magnet school. Ruined my GPA and graduated with around a 3.2 and SAT score was only 2000. I read alot of books regarding the military (Storm of Steel , War and Peace, Band of Brothers. With the Old Breed, etc) and am currently looking for a reason in life. Should I go to the army? See the world and the other side? I have always been socially awkward.

what's with the PPK craze?
you aren't 007. unless you need it to blow your brains out during your hitler re-enactment/cosplay, i see no reason why people would consider this for their CCW. way better options out there with improved ergonomics and tacticool versatility.

/lit/ directed me here when I asked about a treatise called Pistofolo. In any case, does anyone know anything about this sort of stuff, and can offer any knowledge/assistance? Also discussion of western martial arts is also welcomed. Thank you in advance!

I study Fiore's system, but no idea about this one bud
>>
>>29567004
Anything focusing particularly on the Halberd by him? And where can I read his works?
>>
>>29567066
>>29567066
Not previous anon, but here:
http://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Fiore_de'i_Liberi

Fiore has a very extensive and interesting curriculum, mainly about dagger and longsword, but there is also unarmed wrestling, all sorts of defense against daggers, spear and poleaxe.
Overall, halberd is not really discussed in historical manuals and treatises but poleaxe is, it's essentialy a sort of short knightly halberd, but they aren't exactly for the same folk and the same job. Poleaxe and halberd aren't really dissimilar, but they aren't the same weapon either.

If you check out wiktenauer, you can have a look at Paulus Hector Mair who has a section on pikes.

If you want to have an exemple on a quick and simple system, there is Viggiani (see Jherek Zwanger's 57 pages pdf), whose manual is about a simple sword lesson with minimum guards and blows, but it's only about the single italian sword, fairly interesting though.

P.F. Girard has a treatise about all sort of military stuff, including grenades and rifles, don't know if it's that's detailed though.

About your Pistoforo... in fact it's "Pistofilo", here's the original treatise:
http://hroarr.com/manuals/other/pistofilo-bonaventura-oplomachia-1621.pdf
Don't know if it has been studied are translated. If you aren't interested in him specifically, maybe you should look into the weapon that interest you first, then a treatise about it.

Hi /k/, what would be your choice for a first shotgun? My price range is around 300-400 (poorfag). I was deciding mainly between the Mossberg 590 or the Ithaca 37. Pros/cons of each? Thanks.

If you own a large enough property and are sure that your rounds are not going to endanger someone else, yeah.

Okay /k/, Our Glorious Leader in Illinois has graciously granted me the privallage of owning firearms. So I come to you with questions as someone who's never owner a firearm before.
What's a good rifle to learn proper technique with? Something I can go plinking with?
Are Nagants worth it? All the threads about them on here makes me want to get one.
Where would one start building an AR-15? Is there a guide on how to pick parts?
Any other tips for fledging in the world of forearms would be appreciated.

>Are Nagants worth it? All the threads about them on here makes me want to get one.

It's an old bolt action rifle that may or may not shoot well. Don't expect anything more.

I highly suggest just getting an AR15 to start since you live in the USA. 5.56 is absolutely nothing recoil wise so you should not develop a flinch at all.
>>
>>29566432
I know a lot of people build AR-15s, should I just buy one off the shelf to start with?
>>
if you live in chicago then give up desu.

nagants are good, not as cheap as they used to be, but a good starting point and still the best price for rifle&cents per round despite what the memesayers tell you.

ar15's are best started with a lower and a lower parts kit. you can go as cheap as you want on those two because they dont take any of the pressure really. the upper, bolt, and barrel are what matter (and the trigger but that can be a later upgrade).

if youve never shot before start with a 22.

/k/ if a sub-species of human was discovered alive and with a over a billion in population that turned out to be an aggressive blood thirsty man eater. Would you hunt it? What would you use to hunt it?

>Well what determines a sub-species of human?

For the sake of argument, a vampire; but without supernatural shit. However does have immense strength and obvious ways to kill it is decapitating the head or burning it alive or stabbing its heart. Its like a regular human except more so primal and caveman like.
