So what would the best bullpup be?

My ideas
>full ambidextrous controls including charging handle
>magazine release by trigger like a traditional rifle has, but also a backup release where the magazine is located, like the DesertTech MDR has, allowing you to reload by letting the mag drop while you grab the new mag, or do a retentive reload by using the release by the magazine to grab it as it falls
>adjustable stock to eliminate the "one size fits all" problem like the VHS has
>make the action and such as short as possible to allow the most configuration options, letting operators be able change foregrip position instead of the built in "one size fits all" foregrip many bullpups have
>some sort of ambidextrous compatible ejection solution, forward ejection, downward ejection, perhaps something that can be either to the right or the left changed by flipping a switch instead of needing tools or extra parts like other guns that have a swappable ejection port
>balance point at or behind the grip for comfortable handing and less fatigue

Unfortunately, in my research, some of the claims about Van Riper basically making shit up are unable to substantiated, but there are a number things which stress credibility.

One aspect, though this is more on the journalists, that strains credibility, is the idea that the US Navy is not prepared for saturation attacks by anti-ship cruise missiles. This is the raison d'etre for the Ticonderoga CG and Arleigh Burke DDG. Because the Soviets were prepared to throw more and more capable missiles at US CBGs.

An aspect which seriously strains Van Riper's credibility is that the naval boondoggle occurred on Day 1. Millennium Challenge 2002 was a 17 day exercise involving all branches of the military, special forces, and some of the intelligence community. It is an absolute waste, especially for something which was intended (as described by General Buck Kernan) to gather useful analytic data for future simulations to call it off after the first day because the REDFOR won. That Van Riper would go to the media is curious to me. He is a Lt. General; he should know that forces get to respawn and try again in wargames. The idea that he was forced to lose because "the US military must be invincible" seems preposterous since REDFOR units and aggressor squadrons regularly maul their BLUFOR counterparts in exercises. Though I cannot ascertain why, (some have chalked it up to super butthurt), Van Riper's motives seem suspicious.

Now, while allegations of Van Riper pulling REDFOR tactics out of his ass are sadly baseless with regards to legitimate published material. However, it is not baseless to say that he used artificially gamey tactics on his own part (though these results were legitimate) in the form of, since certain units were only available for a few days in a particular location, Van Riper did things like hit those areas with persistent (3-day) chemical agents.

So I found out today that I was lucky enough to have all of my information leaked to ISIS by hackers. The DoD said they'd possibly give me some credit fraud protection, but I'm worried about them doing something more serious, considering I'm now on an ISIS hit list.

Wat do /k/? Should I buy more firearms and pray to the sun god, or are these just empty threats?

Here's a picture of my WASR to help keep this thread /k/ related

A think tank has just said there's no way the United States can afford their planned F-35 numbers procurement.

http://www.airforcetimes.com/story/military/2015/11/10/experts-bomber-cost-could-upset-f-35-plans/75528532/

Soon after that Air Force officials said themselves that they might not be able to afford planned purchases and are investigating whether or not they can build new 4th gen planes to keep on policy. Upgrades were also included as part of this new investigation.

k, son wants to join the Marines. He's 23, adrift in life, working as a waiter in a restaurant right now.

Graduated college, has BA in art, half-assed ambitions to be an artist but no drive. When he's not working he hangs out with friends and smokes weed.

Never expressed any desire to join the military, but his childhood friend is joining and took him to a recruitment event and now he wants to join up with his friend.

I'm afraid this kid is going to regret this decision, as there is nothing in his character to indicate he would thrive in any branch of the service.

What advice do I give him?

Gun noob here.

Just wondering. How come a bolt action rifle tends to be more accurate than a semi automatic?

I live in one of those modern densely packed suburb houses & although my shotgun or carbine or pistol would be quite effective, I fear errant projectiles over penetrating & parking themselves in my neighbors children.

>How would the courts react?
