So two days ago I finally got my gun carry permit and I decided now that I can legally carry my gun around that I'd go to the range that my family has belonged to for three years, only to be kicked off and banned from returning because I didn't have my Dad with me (the technical holder of our families membership) by one of the rudest, angriest old men I have ever met.
>So be me
>just got off work 3 and finally had free time so I could actually go to the range
>get home, ask my Dad if he wants to go up, he says no since he's feeling sick
>just says go up by yourself since you have your gun licence
>aight
>get there at 4:40 because i wanted to shower, walk my dog, eat, ect. ect. before i went up
>set my shit up at the trap range
>pull out my recently purchased Benelli Ethos
>start shooting my pigeons
>after about 30 minutes or so this old fuck starts yelling at me from the club house through his megaphone that the range is closed and I have to leave NOW
>ummmmmm...okay?
>pack my shit up
>about to sign out
>he comes down stairs, and starts questioning the shit out of me
>"Don't you know the range closes 30 minutes before sunset!", "Are you even a member here", "YOU'RE DAD IS THE MEMBER!?", "Thats against the rules, he cant just give you his key card!", "Whats the card number!?", "This WILL be brought up at the next committee meeting!", "You are banned from coming here again, if I see you again you will be considered trespassing, do you understand?!"
>mean while I just politely nod and answer all his questions
>say I'm sorry and leave
The bullshit part is I've never seen him before, he's not the care taker, hes not the president/vice president of the club so what fucking authority does that ugly cunt have that he can ban me?
Old pathetic, lonely fucks like him are what I think drives kids my age away from wanting to join shooting clubs. He was the first member I've ever seen that perfectly fit the stereotype liberals use for angry, irrational, racist, gun nut fucks.
>>28887125
First off your fired up because of what happened. Be calm tell your old man what happened, and since it sounds like you know all the big wigs of the club tell them what happened. But remember be calm don't make yourself look like that guy.
> why kids are becoming liberal pussies
it's because there's no war
we need a draft to make children into men
war stops degeneracy
Okay /k/ here's the situation:
>due to financial reasons, the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City was put off until present day
>the population remained the same since the early 90s at about 33,000 residents
>while most of the population was willing to leave, several hundred have decided to violently resist
>they are armed with a mix of handguns, submachine guns, rifles, and shotguns some acquired off the black market and others made in machine shops on site along with plenty of explosives that they've manufactured on site
>they've taken ~100 hostages, possibly more
>in preparation they set up a radio repeater network so they can easily communicate and also have wired communication as a backup, fortified parts of the Walled City, and set up booby traps
Some more information on the area:
>networks of staircases and passageways allow one to travel throughout the city without going down to the ground level
>alleyways for travel on the lower levels tend to be 3.3-6.6 feet wide
>most of the apartments are 250 square feet
>expect cramped conditions in general
>area of the Walled City is 6.5 acres or .01 square miles
>the buildings are 10-14 stories tall
How could such a situation be dealt with?

I think the situation your describing was a black ops mission.

What did you do today /k/?
Me and a buddy went shooting.
Worked a bit over 9 hours at my job (engineer).
Tonight I may start weaving a paracord sling for my ak though, after I make my steak marinade of course.
>>28886605
worked?
Is it possible to survive after being impaled?
>>28886469
depends
Vlad the impaler avoided puncturing vital organs as much as possible so they stayed alive days.
There's that dude that got a railroad spike through his head and lived.
Countless particles and waves pass through our bodies every second.
>>28886469
Yes, unless you're stupid enough to try pulling it out yourself.

Pretty much all you're doing is fighting for the Jews and to protect some sandniggers oil profits.

Cheap, simple to operate, works really, really well in all kinds of weather conditions and environments, it's super-reliable. It's also .30 cal which means it has great terminal ballistics and kills well.
AK has killed more people than any other implement of war ever invented.

Joining the military is the worst mistake you could ever make.
Do not do this unless you are 100% out of other options. I regret the day I ever joined
>>28886460
Sounds like you chose a shitty job. The military has been awesome to me.
YMMV depending on where in the military you end up.
hi, I have mental health problems that I'm trying to sort out with a therapist. When I get my brain fixed will the Air Force frown upon my mental health history if I try signing up?
ITT we discuss possible technological solutions for known problems in mecha development.
>power supply
>square cube law
>ground pressure
>controls/interface
>purpose and military doctrine
>etc etc etc
Let's try to design a realistic near future mecha.
Remember, form follows function. So try to think of a mission/role that would be useful, and describe machinery that would fit that. Examples include megacity urban warfare, or mountainsides or jungle/forest where tracked vehicles could never reach.
No Gundams/40k allowed. Let's keep it civil folks.
>No Gundams
But surely we can have Micro-Fusion Reactors for a power source right?
Make them biological.
>>28885305
Let's try to keep it to known or at least realistic technology. For the sake of discussion, let's not speculate past 2036 or so. I think predictions past 20 years are fanfiction tier.

Anyone else in /k/anada soon to be out of work? I live in an oil and gas town and probably going to be losing a shitload of hours pretty soon, which means I'm probably going to have to start selling my only valuable possessions - guns. At worst. At best I'll probably have to not shoot because apparently the price of ammo is going to go through the roof.
economy pls

Grab reloading supplies now, reload while money is shit. Find that reloading is better and keep reloading.

I think having guns in public without cases should be forbidden.
What are /k/'s thoughts on the Savage Mark II FV SR? It's a good priced bolt action that's already threaded, seems great.
I'm looking at getting a .22lr rifle and between this, a CZ and a 10/22 this is looking good.
CZ455 is better
>>28884597
Better than a Mosin.
>>28884822
I would not doubt it, but the savage is super dirt cheap.

Hold on just a fucking second. Are we supposed to actually believe that this is a so called "super carrier"?
What type of fools would believe this?
At most, this is a fleet carrier. A glorified LHA.
They didn't even give it an X-band radar.

Sheesh Britain, we'd probably have licensed this design to you and you'd have ended up with ships just as capable as the Queen Elizabeths at a fraction of the cost.
http://www.defenceiq.com/air-forces-and-military-aircraft/articles/the-f-35-decision-disastrous-implications-for-uk-a/
>The difference in capability between the F-35B and F-35C is significant. Due to the STOVL requirement, the F-35B has a shaft-driven lift fan integrated with its engine thus restricting the aircraft’s internal fuel capacity to 13,500 lbs; in contrast, the internal fuel load of the F-35C is 19,145 lbs. The difference in internal fuel is highlighted by the range and combat persistence of the respective aircraft; the F-35B has a mission radius of approximately 463 nautical miles and a time over target of fifteen minutes; for the F-35C, the figures are 613 nautical miles and thirty-six minutes respectively.
The British tax payers literally paid billions for a super carrier that can't fight against a modern adversary.
Unbelievable
>U.S. Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter seems to get the reality that the so-called “coalition” of 66 countries that are supposedly fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria is a sham. Most of these countries are contributing nothing to the fight and many that once did have ceased doing so.

Saudi Army is utter shit though.
They'll be losing lower enlisted as deserters to ISIS.
Having to project force and logistics through Shia Iraq.
It is going to be a shit show and they'll probably stop after losing a few hundred soldiers and committing some war crimes.
>>28883445
They're just going to embed a few advisors with the southern front. What will be interesting is what Russia does if SA bombs government troops.
