This is a supposedly a photo of the first group of Russian sappers who arrived today in Palmyra. I've never seen Russians issuing a full suite of tan gear before. Can anyone elaborate?
>>29474369
Looks like a slav attempt at desert camo.
What's sauce on the pic? Time, place, source, etc.
>>29474381
Palmyra. They sent some engineers up there for EOD.
Too bad the Russians don't realize that the fucking Syrian army sand niggers are just going to flee and lose the city again in one day when ISIS returns. So all of their work is in vain.
Sand niggers, not even once.
that's a huge ass selfie stick
What does /k/ think about slide fire/bump fire stocks?
For those unaware, it basically converts a semi auto rifle into a full auto without being illegal.

Should be sold as a package deal with a 1/2lb. of tannerite and local gunshow .223 reloads from Ted, the reloading guy.
Makes it easier for the type of people who buy this product to get it all at once rather than search around for 3 different items.
>>29474354
No it doesn't, it makes your rifle so uncontrollable you keep mashing the trigger. They're fun at first but after a while it's tedious and makes you regret wasting a ton of ammo on it.

God I hate this pretentious fuck. He knows jackshit. His entire channel is based on speculation and he doesn't even have the decency to post sources to back up his claims.
>WELL, UHM, YA SEE IN THE MOVIES PEOPLE DO THIS *BUT* IN REALITY THINGS WERE DONE PRECISELY THE WAY I SAY
I bet he believes his own bullshit.
But the funniest quote must be:
>Most of the wars in the past were fought by sieges; rarely two opposing armies would meet on open ground to battle.
Are you fucking kidding me? Then how comes most of the historical records mention way more battles than sieges?
Did historians just forget about sieges because they're less cool?
And yes, people did carry large swords on their back. It happened, just not during a battle. Just because Hollywood made it a trope it doesn't mean it's not practical. A sword is relatively light, even greatswords don't exceed 6 pounds or so. Carrying it on your back means your hands are free and it's not awkward to walk around, expecially indoors.
Oh, almost forgot he always say "people in the past". Past when? Where? Like his videos about torches.
You mean Late Medieval period in Britain or Ancient Middle East? Who did that, the peasants or the rich?
You could be a little more precise, Lindy.

Is powered armor /k/?
Sure, as long as you recognize that it would never IRL make you bulletproof.
>>29474299
Ned Kelly would disagree with you.
Power armor would be great for a futuristic blitzkrieg. A new way to quickly move behind enemy lines and cause some chaos. Plus always nice to be able to move stuff without a forklift.
any body else cringe when people use the word ak 47 to describe a akm? Its like calling a ar 15 an m16 or calling an rpg a bazooka
>>29474206
Well, most people here are semi functional autists, so I bet many people agree with you.
>>29474206
AR15=M16 m8
>>29474206
No, only when people really mean M-4 or G-36, but say AK, because all automatic rifles with banana magazines are AKs to the public, even jarheads.
My dad wants a semi automatic rifle, but hes in his 60s and stuck in his ways. He's not a "fudd", he is all for people owning baby killing salt weapons, but he just personally doesn't like the way ARs or AKs feel in his hands. Im an AKM guy myself, own an AR, and 2 battle rifles. So im thinking of getting him a mini 30 for Fathers Day. Can any /k/ommandos talk me out of it or suggest a superior "old school" style semi auto intermediate caliber rifle?
If it's a ranch gun a Mini-14?
i mean you can save yourself the pain in the ass that is the M1 platform and half the money by buying an SKS
Buy him an m1 garand or m1a.
What led to the Soviets replacing the TT-33 with the Makarov?
I know that the TT-33 was an aging gun at the time the Makarov was adopted, but what made the Soviets decide on a fixed barrel relatively small blowback pistol firing a relatively small cartridge compared to the short recoil locked breech full size pistol firing a fast cartridge that they already had in the TT33?
It almost seems like replacing a seemingly more modern Browning action with a fixed barrel Walther PP-ish design was almost a step backwards, or at least a sidestep instead of being a step forward in small arms development. Why didn't the Soviets go on to develop something a little more modern than a fixed barrel gun?
I get that Makarovs are very simple, very reliable, very accurate and are great shooters ( love mine), but comparing the Makarov to the sidearm of many of the Western militaries (Browning Hi Power) of the time it kind of seems inferior in every way minus size and cost/ease of manufacture (which is very important).
Tokarev is too much of a cartridge for use outside war.

the makarov is made of 8 parts and can be detail stripped by a troglodyte with no tools in 15 minutes

Do you have a truck gun /k/?
Pic related, just built this PSA 10.5 folder for road trips. Bonus: not an SBR, so can take across state lines without ATF bullshittery
>>29473593
I have a question about that rifle.
Is it not bad for the flashlight lens to be that close to the muzzle? Seems like it would damage it.
>>29473593
Not bad, and obviously your personal choice but, if you want a short barrel 'pistol' with a folding stock, why not just get a fucking AK? I mean you can't shoot this gun with the stock folded.
>>29473617
The standard A2 birdcage flashhider doesn't have a lot of side blast, so there's no issues having a light in that position. I shot several hundred rounds today and didn't even get carbon buildup on the lens.
Some muzzle devices will put out significant pressure to the sides, I've seen surefire weaponlights that were placed next to them and had their finish basically removed and lots of carbon buildup on the lens but the light still functions. Just need to clean the lens every once in a while.
Do infantry and other combat arms have to wear ear and eye protection in combat? If so, how do their earplugs affect their ability to hear and listen to combat?
>>29473447
>ear
No.
>eye
Yes.
>earplugs
They don't use anything. If you're an OPERATOR you get to wear $1,000+ head sets that pull double duty as commo and ear pro.
>Do infantry and other combat arms have to wear ear and eye protection in combat?
The smart ones do
>If so, how do their earplugs affect their ability to hear and listen to combat?
Put some on, turn the tv up and try converse with someone across the room. Thats how.

if they're constantly yelling doesn't that compromise their ability to stay concealed

Would the EU countries be able to fight off a Russian invasion without American assistance? Could the combined might of Europe's powers (mainly Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland) stand up to Russia alone?
>>29473277
Russia no longer has the power to do a full scale invasion that large.
>>29473290
True. How about we change the scenario? Russia invades estonia, latvia, lithuania, poland, belarus, and ukraine. All the old soviet states. Donald trump is magically president and we left NATO because Europe didn't pay their 'fair share'. Can the EU take it all back?
Russia can't even conquer half of Ukraine EU is shit and full of pussies but Russia is shit and full of fetal alcohol syndrome freaks
Show me your barrels, /k/. ;)
