Redpill me, /k/. Why shouldn't I add a Kriss Vector to my collection of novelty space guns?

>>28631302
Because there's a goddamn 10mm Auto version on the way.

I am looking to join the ADF, what should I go into ?
I would like a challenge, and what preparations should I make before joining ?

Does the us government actually pay you, or are you such a fucking loser that you do it for free?
Why do post-Cold War ships all have this strange sort of grey Nintendo casing look? What is it made of?
>>28628355
Marine anti-corrosion paint. They've changed the formula to cause less environmental damage.
>>28628355
Anyone else find these ships hideous yet gorgeous at the same time?
Reminds me of early 3D graphics.
>>28628364
Interesting. I figured it might be anti-flash or something. But why are they so much bulkier looking than ships in the past? Do they have more armour now?
Another separate question as well, but related... I've seen what an Exocet can do to an old style ship, how would one of these new ships fare if hit by an ASM?
Went to a recruiter today and i'm going to MEPS next thursday. Will the doc believe i got these from inthewoods bullshittery.

Totally feel you... now I am in Denmark, one of the greatest lib shitholes (I am not really happy saying this, because there are a lot of cool people), and whenever I mention my studies, they give me the looks, and talks behind... It's not fair. I sometimes don't even mention the word firearm, just mechanic...
>>28640680
Don't say you're a mechanic, say you study Engineering.
/k/ you've been tasked to design the Canadian Surface Combatants.
>hull and size?
>sensor suite?
>weapons systems?
>etc.
All battleship surface fleet.
The latest and greatest long range anti air missiles and missile defense system, always.
No "all or nothing" armor scheme... ALL ARMOR.
LRLAP and scramjet shells for the main guns. The main guns can also fire cruise missiles. This is so missiles can be kept safely inside the armored hull without the weakness of VLS tubes.
The ships will have torpedo tubes with super long range supercavitation capabilities.
just buy a buncha LCS, with some additional weaponry/range.
And then buy some armed ice breakers for northern work.
>>28640211
Trimaran hull, nuclear powered, and carrying multiple laser CIWS mounts on a tall mast / pagoda (for that extra response time/range).
Is anyone here a police officer or gone to police academy? I want to know what to expect when I join the force.
>>28639762
You get to shoot niggers and rape women all day and have your buddies lie about it for you.
>>28639762
You basically have to be a massive law abiding faggot for the entirety of your duration at academy. Also wake up early. Depending on the department there may be multiple pass/fail points that if you fail, you fail, and out the door you go.
why is 20 gauge not more popular?
>powerful enough to kill most animals in the U.S.A.
>wide variety of common load options from #9 bird to #1 buck to slugs from 5/8 to 1 full ounce
> #1 buck is only .02 inches smaller than 00 buck and you still get 9 pellets
>low recoiling enough to be shot by almost anyone
>lower recoil allows faster follow up shots
>more than enough power to kill an intruder quickly
>can be shot all day with no shore shoulder
>slightly cheaper than 12 gauge
why the fuck am i the only one who would rather have a 20 instead of a 12
>i still like 10 gauge though, its better at turkey, duck, and goose hunting than 12, 20, or 16 gauge
>>28639130
> only slightly cheaper if cheaper usually same price as 12gauge
> recoil is still high for the amount of FPS loss from a 12 gauge.
stop being a bitch sore shoulder only happens the first time you shoot
>>28639162
>accused of being a bitch who is afraid of recoil
>mentions in original post that i like 10 gauge
>>28639178
My point stands, too expensive for what it is, less powerful than a 12 gauge, and you don't save much of anything its like i offered you 2 identical cars, one with a 4cylinder engine and one with a v6 for the exact same price, which would you take if they consumed the same amount of gas?
Hey /k/, Califag here. Decided I'm going to build my own AR but I have to make it compliant with California's laws. What do I have to do to make my AR build legal? And where can I get the best featureless stock?
>inb4 Move out of CA faggot just uproot your life and leave all you know for 30rd clipazines
>>28638940
Midway usa, and it must have a bullet button and shit, no pistol grips
>>28638973
The entire point of those gimp stocks is to drop 30 rounders without a bullet button. Bullet button lets you have pistol grip, VFG, flash hider, all that jazz.
>>28638940
You're building it, right? Get a,n 80% receiver and mill it at home. Then just say the receiver is pre ban and that you only replaced parts one at a time. How are they going to prove you wrong?

Cluster munitions, thoughts?

They do their job better than all the other types of ordnance legally allowed.

Cluster munitions aren't illegal.
How effective would 11mm be?
>>28638319
>>28638319

and just so youre aware, 10mm is actually nearly 11mm in diameter
>>28638319
slightly less than a .45?

Especially if you think the X95 is "new" you need to get out from under your fucking rock.
