Can anyone recommend a good edc knife? I'm looking for a small fixed blade for general use. Preferably one with a 3 inch blade and a leather sheath. I don't really like to carry a folder in my pocket on a clip because I'm constantly putting things in and out of my pockets. Price isn't really an issue. Any other preferences would be that the steel it's made from would hold its edge fairly well, so I don't have to be constantly sharpening it.

So I was reading Hannibal and noticed Clarice's interesting setup for her 1911

>"He pointed with his wattled chin at Starling's main sidearm, a well-worn Colt.45 Government Model with a strip of skateboard tape on the grip..."

This actually makes a lot of sense when I think about it, seems a lot cheaper than stippling. What are some interesting/unusual mods for firearms?

My Godfather was a career Marine and served 4 combat tours in Vietnam. I asked him what the most realistic Vietnam movie was and he said without hesitation Forest Gump. Jungle combat is just absolute fucking point blank chaos and you have no idea what the fuck is going on. Most of the time though its just walking through the jungle endlessly through razor grass and monsoons, followed by very short periods of blinding unimaginable violence. He told me that on two separate occasions his platoon was ambushed at a distance of less than 10 yards, and on another occasion a man in his platoon literally stepped on a gook thats how close they were. He said they were so close you could tell if they had shaved their faces recently. "Close enough to spit on them" as he put it. Hand to hand combat, bayonet fighting, and resorting to beating enemies with rocks and sticks was not unheard of. A man in his platoon also Mike Tysone'd a guy. Took a good hunk of his face off with his mouth before driving a bayonet through his skull. He also told me a story where they captured about a dozen unarmed teenage aged kids acting as scouts. Instead of reporting it, and dragging them 2 days back through the jungle they just fucking greased em all on the spot and pissed on their bodies.

Class discussion over whether or not the Atom Bomb should have been used in WW2

So since I live in commie Europe and cant own an AR-15 or AK variant without some ridiculous requirements, I was thinking of getting myself a Benelli MR1. So my questions to you are is it a reliable gun? and where can I get a hold of aftermarket parts for it(like pistol grip and AR-15 mags? It has to be a shop based in the EU because of stupid rules about gun part export and import.

So realistically, what would be the odds of a WW1 fighter going up against a WW2 fighter and winning? Obviously the WW2 fighter has the advantage but if the WW1 fighter had a numerical advantage would it be able to pull it off? Or was the gap in technology so big that it wouldn't even matter how many planes were fighting?

For the sake of discussion, let's use the Spad XIII and the P38 Lightning.

Why are the Americlaps so upset that the Russians have once against outclassed them in armour development?

The Armata has standardized features not found on any other vehicle. Why do people assume that US and NATO tanks are better?

NATO only really achieved technical parity sometime in the mid-1980s with their Leopard 2 and M1A1.

Up until the 1990s, the bulk of the US tank force were hopelessly outdated M60 series vehicles, shit-wagons like the AMX-30 and tin-armoured Leopard 1 which couldn't even scratch the T-72A and B, T-64B, not to mention anything from the T-80 line.

Also Slav tonk thread. Shitpost away, you conceited cunts.

>armata is alot better than abrams tank
Simulator shows that 1 armata can take out 6 abrams

>KA 50 blackshark is faster, more advanced tech, better armored and can carry more weapons than Apache

>Russian navy is actually better and more advanced than US navy

So why does the M1 Abrams platform use a smoothbore gun? I find it confusing that most modern projectile weaponry uses rifling but for some reason this does not. I know the cannon is still accurate but wouldn't it make more sense to be even more accurate with rifling?

The only downside to rifling that I could think of would be that eventually the projectile is going to sway in the direction of the rifling, however I didn't think with such a short travel time it would be noticeable.

Also I couldn't find a tank general thread to ask this in so I apologize if I just missed the thread.

">>661671557
The only real advantage to a revolver over an auto pistol is that the slide vs. cylinder action is less likely to be caught and fouled in loose clothing/hair/concealment/cover garments/fouled by a grapple or improper grip. Auto pistols are superior as a self defense pistol in reliability (due to simplicity of functionality and low amount of moving parts), ease of malfunction clearances, reload speed and ease, concealment for the amount of rounds due to size, primarily thickness) and CHIEFLY capacity. Revolvers have many more problems then people care to remember or think about, debris/fauna/garments getting caught in the cylinder, primers walking out of cartridges, incorrect timing, internal malfunctions and fragility of their mechanisms (revolvers are fucking swiss watches), short stroking trigger pulls (muh training issues), excessive case wall expansion locking up the ejection rod, among countless other problems. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that WHEN (not if) the pistol jams 9/10 the malfunction with an auto pistol can be cleared manually. When the revolver malfunctions, 9/10 you're better off using it as an impact weapon. In addition to this, capacity is paramount in a self defense pistol. More rounds = more time in the fight, and the one benefit that a revolver offers no where near out weighs the element of a good semi-auto fighting pistol, let alone the totality that all the elements that a good semi-auto fighting pistol brings to the table.
A revolver will kill you just as dead just as any good as any good auto pistol would. But in a world where the Glock 19/26/43 exists, why would you bother using anything else?"
