Why isn't our weaponry kept secret? I'm looking at the ASW drone ship thread and it seems this is the kinda shit we'd want to hide from our enemies right?
Yet with cursory searching you can find the exact specifications, armaments, details, flaws, weaknesses and strengths of some of our most expensive weapons/vehicles. Its like trying to play poker with your hand shown, idgi.
pic semi related, you can see details on how our experimental weapons are supposed to operate and its the first thing on google. doesn't this violate some kind of opsec thing?

Hey Canadians I just turned 19 today and I was wondering how easy is it to get a gun here? I don't have any mental illnesses or criminal record. How much would I pay for a decent weapon and the license?
Thanks in advance.

Might depend on your province
It's pretty easy
Just go to a local gun place, hunting, fishing store, whatever. Ask if they offer licenses
It'll be a small amount of money, I paid $130 for PAL and $90 for RPAL.
A weekend at a course, with a bit of hands on with deactivated firearms. Really easy
Then it's just a bit of paperwork and some waiting

Not everyone should own a gun. Owning a gun requires you to not be a fucking idiot, and obviously this is beyond most people. So stop trying to put guns into the hands of your friends and family.

Not everyone should get to vote either. Why is my vote worth as much as someone who has far more education like a physician? Why is some dumb nigger who didn't graduate high school allowed a vote as worthless as mine? Rights =/= privileges. Now someone who doesn't feel comfortable owning a firearm shouldn't be forced to. And if someone IS going to then they should probably at least take an NRA first steps class but it shouldn't be a requirement for ownership.
TL;DR: Fuck off the more people educated about guns and how to use them safely the better. Even a tard can be taught the stove is hot.

Googling best Pistol manufacturers will usually get you lists with Glock, Sig, HK, Colt, and Smith and Wesson as the top five.
Walther is usually in the bottom five-10 slot.
Which, to me, is fucking criminal.
The more I think about it, Walther is the most underappreciated Pistol maker in existence.
>P38-first double single action Pistol
>ppk-possibly the most iconic carry gun of all time. Dated, but still a viable choice 50 years later.
>p99-first polymer gun with interchangeable backstraps. After Walther did this, everyone started doing it. In that respect, its probably the most influential Pistol of the past 20 years.
>pps-came out before the shield, before the xd- everyone of those kind of ripped off the PPS and stole its thunder in the single stack polymer Pistol market.
Am I wrong?

When did people lose their sense of class and start storing their guns in unsightly metal cubes lacking any sense of style?
I come from an era where a man was proud of his guns and enjoyed having them on display in his mancave alongside his other trophies. My friends and I sit around my bar, drinking homemade craft brews and aged single malt scotch, smoking cigars and trading stories about trophy fucks. Not drinking hipster shit trying to feel tacticool.
Where has all the class gone?

Which gun would you say describes you best, /k/?
The gun that describes me best would be the Desert Eagle or any of the other overly powerful magnum handguns. I'm loud, violent and only good for a select few things in life, which, in the grand scheme of things, are still useless.

Serious question, /k/:
We used UH-1s by the thousand to get around lush foliage and rough terrain in Vietnam, why would we not use them to the same degree in Afghanistan/Iraq/next sandbox adventure in order to prevent soldiers from getting blown up in their vehicles?
I mean, surely it wouldn't eliminate IED deaths, as there would still be anti-personnel mines and such. But if I'm not mistaken, IEDs were one of the number one causes of death in A-stan and Iraq, right?
Surely there must have been more than enough Hueys and Hawks to go around in the mideast at the time to significantly reduce the amount of vehicle IED deaths, right? And if not, there should have been enough time and money to procure them, no?
I might be wrong on some of these points, but this has been rattling around my head for a few days. Any milfags are invited to share your views/answers

idk the answer but I am curious.

a humvee/mrap has more loiter time than a chopper, and say you need to get out and search, much easier to do so in a truck.
plus the extra logistics would be a nightmare.
however, could we use like, small hovercraft-mrap things?
modern hovercrafts can roll over mines and shit no problem, and the civilian market already has some small recreational ones.
could we military-ify them?

With the price of Mosin Nagants rising due to fewer crates coming from eastern Europe, and with less surplus steel core 7.62x54R via the same routes, I think the reign of the nugget as the unofficial gun of /k/ is coming to an end. And I think she needs a replacement.
It should be inexpensive, reliable, unique, powerful to kill something, and with plentiful inexpensive ammunition.
Any nominations? I vote for the SCCY CPX2. Cheap, check. Works, check. Full size caliber, check. 9mm widely available and <$9 per 50? Check.

Basically the only thing that made the anachronistic nugget appealing was price of the gun and availability of nugget food. Now that both are no longer true I think it's just another bolt gun.

What does /k/ think about ACTUV? Is this a viable pathway for developing a future-proof ASW capability?

Is it kinda provocative to tail submarines in international waters?
This is like one cargo business having drones follow the ships of other cargo businesses.
>>
>>29564880
>Is this a viable pathway for developing a future-proof ASW capability?
I don't know about future-proof but it is the clear beginning of a robust, responsive, next-generation evolution of the SOSUS network concept. It's an excellent home waters solution and has some very intriguing enemy AO possibilities (well dock motherships with ASW and radar/AA picket drone ships to deploy and sweep in front of CSGs, for instance, tying into the ASW and Aegis battlespace networks).
Sensor node persistence is one of the few weaknesses of the P-3/P-8 and rotary wing-focused SUW ASW fight, and these neatly resolve this. Cost VS tactical benefit is really the only remaining question once the system is working. Are they cheap enough to build in the numbers required for the required bolstering of current systems?
>>
>>29564941
>Is it kinda provocative to tail submarines in international waters?
The USN does it whenever possible, as does any country with boats quiet enough to tail effectively without constant or immediate discovery (read: impossible against USN/RN/FN boats for many to most Soviet designs). It is provocative, but not illegal; many collisions have happened during such operations over the years. However, the very nature of the submarine mission set and operational capabilities means it comes hand in hand with national defense operation of submarines. If you want a better overlook on how this process plays out and why it is necessary, read Blind Man's Bluff by Sontag/Drew or The Silent War by Craven.
