Why did the U.S. Army adopt the M4? Isn't the loss in range that a soldier can hit a target a step backwards? Did they do it just so that soldiers don't have to carry heavy equipment?

Question.
Sometimes in movies you see the PTSD'd veteran returning to society and he just cant find his way there. Often those people feel a weird longing back to war and conflict.
Is this true? Do veterans here (how strange it may sound) miss deployment?

I miss being deployed inna Detroit.
Lots of fun, miss being there.

>>28401714
>get to fuck around with guns in the jungle or desert of lawlessness for the entire deployment
>free meals, ammo, and a bed
i can see why they would want to go back, i imagine civilian life just does not compare in anyway to that way of life
>>
>>28401751
What I mean is that even though some had terrible experiences (hence the PTSD) still want to go back to that 'terrible place'

Looks ok, don't understand why thumb stud is so hard to get at compared to Buck though
>>
>>28401673
Haha, just saw that
>>
>>28401656
Love it. My current EDC. Minor complaints would be the thumb studs being kinda annoying to get to, as the other guy said, and they won't be your main deployment method for that reason. Flips nice and smoothly, I like the clip, and I guess sometimes it's a little hard to get the belly and tip perfectly razor sharp, but maybe that's my fault since this is the only knife I freehand on. Personal preference issues would be no stop pins, and instead using the thumb studs (that's partly why they suck so much), but otherwise it'll have as much cutting edge as a Buck 110, and the plunge grind and sharpening notch are well done. Overall, a really well done knife, perfect for EDC if you don't mind a smaller, lighter blade

Is there any way the army will accept me?
I got prescribed medication for anxiety in early 2014 which lasted about 4 weeks, then I got prescribed medication for anxiety and depression in 2015 which lasted about 8 weeks.
The only medication I actually used was the anxiety med (beta blocker).
I'll be honest and admit the only reason I was depressed/anxious was because I used to be a heavy rec drug and steroid user and would get extreme highs and extreme lows the next day. Some comedowns were so bad I'd get panic attacks which led to me thinking I had something wrong with me.
Now I'm off all drugs and living a lot better and want to become a soldier and was wondering if it was possible?

Probably not with such a heavy god damn recent history of illegal drug use, steroid abuse and depression.

I should have specified it's the UK armed forces I'm talking about, particularly the Royal Marines or Parachute Regiment.

We all know that this suitcase, known as the Football, contains the nuclear launch codes for the President to order a nuclear strike. But what if something happened to it? What if it got lost or stolen? How long would it take to get a replacement? Is there any back-up system in place to allow submarines to launch without Presidential consent?

What if some gangster got a hold of it and tried smoking it innajoint?
What if Obama promised to keep it safe and forgot about his promise?
What if the Jews tried to purchase it from the state?
What if the Chinese captured it, and began mass producing knock offs to corner the American market for launch code briefcases?
You need to ask the real questions.

So I was in Arizona visiting family (I'm from there originally) and my father-in-law knows I like guns, so he took me to cabelas to purchase a rifle.
Cabelas refused me for having an out of State ID, company policy. Not a law tho, went to mom & pop gunstore, told them I was out of state, they said I could buy a long gun, buy not a handgun, NP.
>well that depends also, which state are you from?
Wisconsin.
>OK you're good, we don't do NY or CA
Then he followed with ",none of the commie states" ha-ha might have been a /k/ommando.
Long story short, when he did my background check I was put on a 5 day wait.
No criminal record, hunter, vet.
The guy said "Phx cops get put on holds all the time".
Wtf /k/? Why was my second amendment questioned in the #1 state for gun Rights?

Not OP, but if I'm stationed in California and have an out of state driver's license can I still pick up a lower I ordered?
I'm really not eager to wait for my lower to get to the FFL and have him tell me I need a California Driver's license. He probably deals with 90% people who are in the same situation, but I'm not sure
>>
>>28424378
Cabela's was probably just a company policy issue. I have no idea why there was a wait on just a rifle, what city were you in?

Because of their company policy. They're a private entity and not a good place to buy a gun, on the whole.
Your rights weren't violated. So shut the fuck up.
