Yeah.

The burden of proof for a libel suit in the US is ridiculous, so the fact that he actually won one is a sign of how utterly full of shit Chris Kyle was.

Also, it made faggots angry.

He should have just killed him.

A pity another mentally handicapped person beat him to the punch.

>>28242848
Of course

>inb4 he shouldn't have went after his wife

He went after the estate to clear his name, he had no other option and there was nothing malicious about it, Chris put him in that position

So I take you are from the UK and some scandic took away your girlfriend?

>>28242187

More anglo than the UK currently.

It's good enough to fuck with Turkey. So I'm good with it.

It seems like it isn't really bad. The Germans used the damn thing for 20 years, after all.. But the German fetish for heavy rifles continues and they are ordering HK 417 to issue to some units as a replacement.

Kurdistan Nationalist could do a hell of a lot worse then the G36 though. Good luck to them carving off bits of Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran.

>>28242179
to bad we have all these import restrictions now. The American civilian market should be the world's service rifle retirement home.

What kind of missile launchers and APCs? Also they've been sending them G36s since last year.

Well done, France. I'm proud of you guys.

I don't think it matters

Most nations are committed to only using atomic weapons in defense, after being attacked by weapons of mass destruction.

Depends who you are. The US/USSR (later Russian Federation) adopt a two step program where a first-strike is launched at identified targets, launch sites, ect in attempt to kill some weapons before they fire, while a second sight is launched after to kill any targets that survived the first exchange and hopefully end the war.

Most other nations, in the event they are attacked with weapons of mass destruction they would launch a single massive retaliatory strike intended to overwhelm defenses and end the war.

>M1A

kind of expensive to buy, ~$1300, mags are kind of expensive, brownells has them for $30 i think, you might call it a dated design if youre a faggot, i guess the bedding wears out too quick for some people, some say not to fully disassemble them as not to disrupt the bedding. all in all a good rifle

>FAL
also expensive, can get a DSA FAL for about $1000 but ive heard mixed reviews, has a cast receiver which gets shit on a lot. getting a "real" FAL, like a L1A1 or an imbel or whatever is going to run you about $1500. for a surplus gun. not saying they arent worth it, they are, but thats a lot of cheddar.

>PTR
the cheapest. ~$800. pretty heavy, about 10.5 lbs loaded, some find it unwieldy, no bolt lock back, roller delayed blowback is dirty as fuck. they are reliable and accurate though, and sexy as hell. not friendly to left handed people. mags are cheap as fuck.

>>28240208
M1As are nice, shot that same model this morning. Really heavy, muzzle brake is sorta loud but could be worse. Lots of style/ nostalgia points. Great for ban states (CA). Super soft shooting for a 308 Great sights. If I was getting a 308 semi auto itd have to be a DPMS g2. really light, supposed to have good accuracy too not as much character as the others th>>28240394

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
The Ferdinand was a potent vehicle, but as was the case with a fair few of the Wehrmacht’s heavier automotives, constantly let down by its utter lack of mobility; that said, its overall range was 150 km on a full tank, putting it far ahead of similarly roled vehicles like the Jadgpanther. The gun depression of the cumbersome L/71 and the fixed placement of the turret were key issues that led to many Elefants being incapacitated by faster moving Soviet tank groups and anti-tank weapons, without the opportunity for a commensurate reply by the Elefant’s powerful gun. The armour of the Elefant seems to have held up, as a large number of the Elefants present during the opening days of Kursk were abandoned rather than outright destroyed – nevertheless, a number of Soviet tankers including SU-152 crewmen reported kills on Elefants at several junctures during the battle. The lack of meaningful anti-personnel capability on the Elefant was also a problem, particularly during the heaviest moments of Kursk, although this was somewhat mitigated by the addition of a 7.92 mm MG34 in the hull in late war rebuilt vehicles – precisely 48 were modified in this manner.
In the end, a key lesson to take away is never compromise on the strategic mobility of an AFV in the event of a ground war spanning a large, open front, nor should tactical considerations be ignored for the sake of a single outstanding capability – in this case, it was Hitler’s agitation for the deployment of Elefants to the Eastern Front as soon as possible that led to ambiguous battlefield results.

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.

The Iraqi Ministry of Defense has announced the transfer of more unspecified Armoured Fighting Vehicles from Bulgaria to Iraq. Social media has corroborated that the transfer includes BMP-1 Infantry Fighting Vehicles and T-72 Main Battle Tanks, both of which are Russian derived designs.
In addition, the Czech firm Excalibur has also delivered 45 BMP-1 IFVs to the Iraqi government. Furthermore, the firm has also reportedly delivered T-72s and other vehicles to the Iraqi government in a series of unspecified deals.
Lithuania as of last week has selected the ARTEC Boxer 8x8 Infantry Fighting Vehicle for its armed forces. The German consortium has confirmed the sale of 88 Boxer vehicles, 84 of which are in an IFV configuration and 4 of which are command post variants. All vehicles are expected to be delivered by the end of 2019.
The Ukrainian Morozov Bureau (KMDB) BTR-4 has been recently spotted in use in North-Eastern Nigeria through online snapshots. The BTR-4Es allegedly ended up in Nigerian hands following a refusal from the Iraqi government to purchase the BTRs and were hence rerouted to Nigeria.
Slovenia’s Valhalla Engineering Group has showcased a conceptual mockup of a new Remote Weapon Station design. The ODIN KM 570 can reportedly mount a Bofors 57 mm cannon with 5.56 or 7.62 mm machineguns in a completely enclosed and power-operated turret,

And that’s all for now.

Good job as usual.

you found yourself a holographic gun, they are much rarer than regular guns.

>>28237824

That red stuff is rust. It is surface rust. Get some CLP or other gun oil and a brass brush and brush it away.

Are you a huge fan of 80s and 90s action movies?

If yes, that's all the reason you need to get one.

I am, but then I'd rather have a Beretta 92F (Die Hard) instead of a Deagle.

less than 2k rounds of a caliber isn't hoarding, that's just want you need bare minimum if you shoot often.

9mm - 19 I lost one somehow...
12ga - 160ish mostly target shot though

Reposting from old thread

Hello gearcunts, I have been thinking about of differences between body armor and plate carriers in american type of insurgency/innawoods situation. I personally have experience in using body armor and combat vest during my time in FDF and they really did not hamper my movement that during excersises. That being said I would ditch all armouring and carry bare necessities around on person and rest of the shit in rucksack in insurgency situation.
How do you see where the thin line of no protection to plate carriers go in your own planning and preparing?
