So say America IS FORCED to adopt a new bullpup service rifle. What should it be?
>AUG
>F2000
>Tavor
>a new indigenous design?
>>28284690
Tavor. Be the goodest goy
>>28284690
They would make a bullpup AR-15
>>28284690
M60E6 as standard service weapon
/k/ approved? New stormtroopers were great and the X-Wing vs TIE scenes were fucking godlike.
>>28284656
TR-8R was the best stormtrooper.
>>28284656
/k/ is dead. We /v/ and /tv/ now.
Darth Fuccboi should have kept his helmet on. I can't find him intimidating now that I know what he really looks like.
/k/, looking at college and I'm interested in military history.
What sorts of classes and majors should I be looking at to become a military historian? Should I go for a generic history majors at whatever university I can get into or are there any non-military schools that have good military history courses?
You're not getting a job with a liberal arts degree, op. Which is exactly what you're asking about
>>28284454
Don't unless you think you think you'll enjoy being poor in your 40s. Get a useful degree.
>>28284461
You can get a job with almost any degree as long as you know how to sell the advantages it gives you. Masters in history? You're probably amazing at researching and summerizing complex ideas. Lit? Great at abstract thinking and reading between the lines. Women's studies? You're probably really good at screaming at people.
Okay, Women's studies is still a joke, but you get the idea. Its not the degree, its how you use what it taught you. I make ~80k before taxes working for a major bank. I majored in Museum Studies, but I was able to leverage skills that I learned getting that useless liberal arts degree to make myself look attractive.
What does /k/ think/know about Green Berets?
Do you know any?
Stories?
I spoke to my local Army Recruiter and will go see him sometime next week.
Anyone know if the 18x enlistment option still a thing?
Also operator thread. Post pics, talk shit, discuss.
18X is still a thing. I hear the Q-course is brutal if you don't have prior military experience, though.
>>28284355
Thanks for the info. What kind of brutal?
Physical or mental?
I'm honestly most scared of the land navigation rucks to be honest. One of the few things you have to do alone and if you lose any equipment you get recycled. Sounds high stress.
people who shouldn't have guns/gun accidents

Zany traps.
Does bushmaster make shit ARs?
>>28284115
No, but why buy a complete Bushmaster when you can just buy a Bushy lower and a complete upper from another company for cheaper?
>>28284115
$1391.48

>basic grip

Seriously what are they smoking?
>>28284115
I just got an almost new (<500 rnds through it) XM15 E2S A2 type for 500 bucks.
>I didn't have a good picture.
Suddenly, A world war breaks out. Some of the opposing nations have figure out how to remotely half life the radioactive material in the warheads turning them into useless missiles.
Keep in mind the forests are on fire because theses useless missiles were fired and ran down regardless and started fires that rage on.
>>28283989
... and?
Sooo, what. The fissle material is inert inside the warhead? Or the after-blast radiation is removed quickly? Because one leads to conventional warfare being a thing again, the other leads to a lot of flattened cities
>>28283989
What?
Did these guys actually kill anyone or did they just do it to scare people off?
>tfw when no based roof /k/oreans in your town
>>28283836
from what i remember reading about it they shot at an awful lot of people at first
>>28283836
There were scores of dead bodies found abandoned in alleys after the riots.
Aside from an unfortunate friendly fire incident, there were no killings directly tied to the Koreans
Many people suspect they were somehow involved.
So my country just signed deal of 50 M1A1SA will be added to an old 222 M1A1SA deal.
http://www.dsca.mil/major-arms-sales/kingdom-morocco-m1a1-sa-abrams-tank-enhancement-support-and-equipment
But looks like SA = Special Armor
What is this ( Special armor) ?
I tried to look for it but turns out it's a special configuration for Morocco. Is it going to have same armor as American ones?
>>28283760
Abrams are shit, in this image armor looks weak as shit and you can obviously see the welding
>>28283760
Monkey model m1s, not that great honestly. Compared to t-72s though, they suffice.
Armor is pretty bad, as previous poster said.
>>28283760
Probably a different composite armor package, not the same as that used in the M1A1HA and above that the US uses.
>>28283770
Such salt.
I have an opportunity to buy one, guy is asking $450.
Just the gun and two magazines, in excellent condition.
It's chambered in 9mm, with a 16+1 capacity.
Private sale because my state isn't kek'd. No tax.
What do?
>>28283749
Go for it. Had a 941R, loved the shit out of it. The only reason I gave it up was a partial trade on a truck. You won't regret it.
>>28283763
I just wish he had the full kit.
I found a year old post on armslist with a lady selling the .41 kit and accessories minus the gun and 9mm slide, for $150.
That is my dream. Had to choose between my USP and the Jericho back in '99 when I bought my first pistol.
The Jericho with steel frame and polygonal barrel makes me moist.
It's the old version without the accessory rail, safety on the slide.
>>28283783
i still love mine although I wish I had more rounds of .41ae

Anyone else here a good soldier but you enjoy warm beds, beer and sushi too much? You know your well suited to the busy deployment schedule and restrictive personal life and specialist missions but you dont feel you should have to bust your soul for it?
>>28283660
>sushi
im pretty sure eating alot of sushi is not really harming your operator carrer
>>28283684
You can't eat sushi weekly on a 12 month training cycle. Be lucky to get a weekend off a month.
>>28283697
still healthy as fuck
Merry X-mas!
>>28283638
You forgot me, I'm apparently a fag and I don't really qualify as anything on the list. Yes I have an AR, but it has no rails and no nonstandard accessories and never will.
>>28283664
Satori-san
My apologies. I guess the 9th category is us named fags.
>>28283638
You forgot us
I have no military experience or with weapons for that matter,
I'm thinking about joining the foreign legion.
Anybody here can actually give me some insight first or second hand on it?
How hard is it?
The physical test for admission is even easier than my country's army, but the contract last 5 years so if it's hell I'm afraid I won't be able to push trough it.
>>28283622
Get used to marching long distances in full gear.
No chance, they take ex military and desperate people from 3rd world shit holes.
The entry exam is 3 weeks long. Doubt your country is tougher
>>28283636
That's every fucking military everywhere.
