Is this "rule" still being taught to police and MPs today or not? It always seemed to be on the level of Fuddlore to me.

>links to video proving there is merit in the 21 feet rule
grab a gun prop, or unload your gun, toss it in your holster, go in your yard, have your friend run at you from the opposite side of the yard. when he sets off see how much ground he can cover by the time you have your weapon trained.
you cant live the 21 feet rule all the time, but its something to keep in mind.
>post video that disproves my assertation
It's bullshit, right guys?

1) videos can be staged to meet an agenda
2) it's 30+ years old

>Russian 5G fighter to go into serial production in 2017 – top brass
>The final primary batch of PAK-FA fighter jets is almost complete and tests will be finished in 2016, top military officials told the media. The Russian Air Force hopes to start regular production of the new 5G jets soon, with the first planes coming in 2017.
>“The eleventh T-50 aircraft is on berth and is 60-70 percent ready. This aircraft is going to be the final one in the test series,” Bondarev said, adding he is 100 percent sure the jets will pass government testing by the end of 2016.
>Bondarev said that the PAK-FA’s operational engine will be ready for testing next year and is likely to go into production in 2018. At the moment, the PAK-FA is powered with two AL-41F1 engines which enable it to fly at a supersonic cruise speed, have a 2,600 km/h top speed, and a range of 5,500 kilometers (with two drop tanks).
>The next-stage engine, currently dubbed ‘Type 30,’ is expected to have better speed and fuel economy characteristics.
Wait a second.. according to all those Amerixan shills on /k/, PAK-FA was cancelled. What happened? kek

How many are they going to order, 20?
Lel
Huh it'll be neat to see what the production version looks like.
Also, didn't they say last year production would start in 2016?
>>28669853
Last time I checked, the initial production order was cut to just 12 for service evaluations instead of the ~50 they had planned.

Before you ask a question, check the FAQ
http://pastebin.com/Rx0nDuga
Which branch are you enlisting/enlisted/considering?
http://strawpoll.me/4671253
Ask questions, answer questions, bitch about Air Force recruiters, accuse each other of stolen valor. Just keep it contained to this general you clucks.
>>28669241
>"NEET to Operator edition"
don't kid yourself faggot.
So you've decided to enlist. Good for you. You're not just going to be some POG schmuck, though. You're going to operate. Trying to decide which Special Operations unit you're going to join, though is a lot trickier than it sounds.
Let's go down the list in order from least to most respectable:
Air Force Combat Controllers and Parajumpers are eliminated right off the bat because they're fucking Chair Force. Fuck that. If you're in the Air Force and you're not flying a fighter you've fucked up.
Coast Guard ASTs? Are you kidding me? Coast Guard? Fuck that. You can be a lifeguard at the Y. Stop wasting my time.
Marine Raiders are pretty new so no one knows what they are and no one will care when you tell them you are one. Marines are generally dumb as a box of rocks and you don't want people thinking you're stupid.
Army Rangers should be near the top of anyone's list, but there are some concerns. The last famous Ranger was Pat Tillman and he was shot by his own guys. Half the Army has a Ranger tab on their shoulder so no one will care if you're a real Ranger and it's impossible to tell people you were Army without people thinking you weren't tough enough for the Marines.
Army Special Forces are extremely cool and everyone respects them, but you should be a little iffy on their role. As a Green Beret, you will be doing a lot of helping dirty-ass locals with their problems so that they don't fight back when the Air Force mistakenly bombs one of their tribe's villages. Do you want to be in the Peace Corps or do you want to Operate?
Navy SEALs are at the top of anyone's list. They're hardcore and everyone respects them, but "American Sniper" made them look like a bunch of goofballs except Chris Kyle who was a liar. Also, the Navy's dress uniform is as faggy as the rest of the Navy.
As you can see, there's really no perfect choice, but such is life among the elite warriors of America: you have to sometimes make do with what you're given.
Best of luck!

What about NEET to POG?

Seems more ergonomic.
Recoil is lower and easier to control.
Easier to reload.
Can eject out of the bottom, thus ambidextrous.
What am I missing?

test classes tend to be low production, and underperform for the cost. The next class made will use all that test data can cost a lot less

I thought the UK had a carrier or two?
>>28668708
Not yet. And they may or may not be able to operate both at the same time.
When the mighty fall, they fall hard.
>>28668748
>And they may or may not be able to operate both at the same time.
The SDSR specifically mandates both QE classes be operational and the F-35 order is by far large enough to fill both and then some.
Well, this is the scariest goddamn book I have ever read.
It would never happen. W- would it, /k/?
It won't happen if you bend over the table and back that ass up

If you accept that it would take energy output on the scale of the Tsar Bomba to seriously affect more than a quarter of the country with temporary effects (EMPs do not permanently destroy more than a very small portion of ICB applications, and even that requires ridiculous power output) and also accept the simple fact that all US defense and nuclear forces are EMP hardened, meaning no power executing such an attack can do so and not expect swift and terrible reciprocity, and then further accept that it would require multiple massive warheads (currently beyond the limits anyone has mounted to any ICBM or SLBM ever) plus several dozen other missiles with penaids to be sure of saturating missile defense above the CONUS, sure. It could totally happen.
Meanwhile, in the real world, this concern is pretty far down the list of realistic scenarios.
Outside of entertaining fiction, this scenario was little more than Newt Gingrich's attempt to scare the shit out of people and ride that shit wave into the White House.
Where did this meme of France being cowards come from? People seem to be forgetting that France has the most powerful military in Europe and has been active all over the world in recent years.
Every time I hear one of my fellow countrymen say some shit like "hurr durr cowards lol" and stuff like that I just cringe at the ignorance. It's as painful as hearing someone unironically say "back to back world war champs" which is literally the most ignorant thing ever.
>>28667801
>Where did this meme of France being cowards come from?
This old meme called "history."
You might not have heard of it, it was probably before your time.
Well, mostly because france surrenderd to Germany two times despite having """the most powerful military in Europe"""

Do you want like one or two nice military rifles or would you like a decent variety of stuff?

More guns is always better than one gun. Depends on what they are though
I have a friend that is a felon. I feel like this guy could handle a firearm and he talks about it sometimes, yet does not seem to have any intent on getting one. Mostly spouts Glock memes because he listens to shit-hop. I haven't really talked about it too much (don't want to give ideas) but couldn't you just go to a gun show?
I live in the PNW and it seems that if a person really wanted to they could obtain a firearm pretty easy. I go to gunshows around here fairly often and have gotten guns no prob, sometimes without a background check/FFL.
Two questions:
>if this is so easy why is there a black market for firearms?
>should felons be banned from owning firearms?
I do not like suspending the right of anyone, but what does this really accomplish?
>>28666953

Fuck yeah dude.
I dunno why they got rid of the original round design. I get that it was TOO fast and too accurate and ended up just shooting fucking through people instead of damaging them but... Come on, that's fucking awesome.
