Can you fire a gun in outer space?
>>28062433
Yes
You can Google shitty questions like this.
>>28062433
Why not? You can fire a gun underwater, why wouldn't it work it in space?
>>28062447
Because people think that space is fucking magic or some shit.
Hey /k/, California fag here. I'm about to buy my first rifle today. What tips should I know from other Californians about buying a rifle in CA?
>inb4 move out of California.
Hey there friendo, As a Brit I feel that I can talk about this subject, seeing as you're basically living in Britcuxstan Pacific Edition.
The only advice I can offer you is to just start furiously raping yourself up the arse because that roughly equates to the pain and suffering felt by attempting to get a gun in Cali
>>28062163
Lol are you my younger brother? Last night I talked with my bro and we decided to go get rifles together.
>>28062163
Move to...
Oh, nevermind.
so I was looking at this picture of the shield used in the bataclan raid, and it got me to thinking that this is exactly the sort of circumstance in which we'll probably see the earliest powered armor attempts being put to use.
there's a clear need for armor in a police raid-type situation, and it's easy to transport it there and power it for the very short amount of time it'll be needed.
That expression on the guy on the right is priceless
>You see what those motherfuckers tried to do to me?
>>28062098
I got you
I swear the worst part of FO4 is all the disgusting faggots it's produced talking about power armor nonstop.
Not even Todd's sweet lies compares to this.
>There are 4 power armor threads on /k/ right now.
In the wikipedia article for MARSOC the first picture is of two of them in Afghanistan. One of them appears to be holding an SVD. Would this be due to an issue causing the guy to toss his own gun and pick that up until they return to base, or is it simply due to preference? Or another reason?
Does it happen often that US soldiers swap their weapons for things they find? I know it was done quite a bit in Vietnam, but you'd think it wouldn't happen nowadays.
>>28062021
It's actually a PSL, not a Dragunov.
>>28062035
I see. Question still stands though, what would be the reason for him to be using it?
>>28062021
you dont "toss your gun" or swap it in the military. life isnt video games. thats also a psl not an svd. more than likely he needed more range and they found the psl earlier so he used it.
Is there a rifle tier chart like this?
If not, lets make one
Let's not
>>28062012
What kinda catagory? Divide it by price range? I think it'd be easier to start off with a shotgun one before we open the can of shit that Is /k/ argueing about rifles.
>>28062012
Got damn I love the FNS9
>>28061928
BUMP FOR INTEREST.
So I came across this image but have trouble identifying the gun.
Does anyone know it?
>>28061876

A FAMAS g1 possibly g2 but you probably already know that
Looks like s THOMAS
>.338 Lapua
>intermediate
Pick one
>>28061826
All I could think of, only good as a urban dmr rifle
Hey K
I am really finding University pointless. I am a bit weakly spoken round my parents but I did say before basically being forced to go is "I want to join the Royal Marines". I am very fit and regularly do the BFT for entering and would really ramp up my fitness coming up to the PRMC and application. I have the entire application filled out and ready to go. Should I give up uni and go for the RM's? Really am conflicated. Everything inside me wants to become one and honestly I feel my life is in limbo.
If you KNOW that's what you want to do then go for it. You can't have any doubt. You need to also expect that it is going to be very hard. Going in thinking that you are very fit and can pass it with ease is what's going to drop you. Should you decide to do this OP, good luck.
Hey man
What year are you in of Uni?
Personally I'd finish Uni, if you go to any bootneck recruiter and tell them you're thinking of dropping out of Uni to join the RM the first thing I guarantee they'll say is "so you don't finish what you start?"
Now that's not me calling you a quitter and you have your own reasons for doing things but I just know what it will look like to one of those lads.
Also get a degree behind you, waiting list for the marines will probably be quite long anyway so you might as well get that qualification whilst getting yourself ready to join. At least then if you wash out you'll have a backup.
Also with a degree you might have more options for officer selection.
>>28061657
I do not think it will be easy. I just want it more. Not trying to sound like a douche. It's a massive gamble either way.
>>28061669
1st year. This is why I am conflicted. I know they'd ask something like that. Idk what to do. I feel bored here and it's not what I want in life but a degree is useful
An American aircraft carrier defects to Russia. What happens next?

OP comes out as straight to his parents.
They build a ski-jump
SEALs sink it
trying to figure out a gift for my dad
Both the deagle brand deagle (44 matte black) and the Cobray "mac10" have lots of meaning to my father.
They were pretty much his first guns, that had to be sold when he needed a car most. (which he almost traded for 2 augs lol)
I can remember the days when i was little and he would set up water barrels when he got new hollow points and i got to fetch them out, the guns have memories to us both.
I've gotten a nice raise at work, and a really nice christmas bonus, and i'd like to repay him for all the random times hes given me cash when i needed it and never asked, and since he bought my AK so i didnt lose it to crazies.
But what would be more "fun"?
Hes got a .300 ar pistol, and a .223 carbine-length thats /technically/ my stepmoms
dela elite, colt anaconda, and that neat beretta storm pistol thingy
The deagle since expensive wouldn't come with much, but with the mac10 i could get him mags, and even the old fake supressor, pic googled but related.
If both had deep meaning to you, which would you rather be gifted? (vepr in 54r or 308 is also an option)
Hes also been fucking oogling over getting a can since ".300 is tottaly made for having one" and he loves that damn thing.
Help me, what would you gift your gun nut father? A gun thats less of a collector than the rest of his guns so he shoots it, or accessories like maybe a fuck off expensive optic or a can. (someone told me a 300 can works on 556 is this true?)
Goal is under $1500
PS: if i choose a gun, should i give him the money for the gun? gifting isn't a straw purchase right? we both obviously can legally own guns. Florida btw.
>>28061494
Nigga stop talking
Get him one of these and be done with it
>>28061494
Buy two Mac 10 clones have them engraved with something and get a case of ammo and a case of beer.
What plane should the Russians field to directly counter the Turkish F16s?
>>28061292
Why is F16 so sexy?
>>28061292
is the SU 35 better than the latest modification of F16 (block 60 i think)?
upgraded su27 and any su30 are more than enoughth to deal with f16
hell, even mig 29 with proper awacs and bvr missiles can deal with f16
is the future of infantry warfare cyborg supersoldiers? will ethical questioning stop it or are we destined for full body prosthesis soldiers dominating the battlefield, maybe hordes of semi-sentient clones/robots will be superior or is quantity > quality just not sustainable?
general future of infantry predictions ITT.
Armed Bigdogs and quad rotors desu. I doubt squishy humans will leave the relative safety of their armored vehicles.
>>28061275
Future is drones up the wazoo on every front - land, air, sea, space, and cyberwarfare becomes a greater threat to national security.
When cyborg tech crops up it's probably going to go all MGS and shit, with cyborg troops leading drones into skirmishes based on corporate interests
I wouldn't hesitate to discard my fleshy meatsack for superior mechatronic parts though
Sooooon
Look what arrived in the post today. Now waiting for rifle it's going to be mounted on.
Optics thread.
