You can get alot done with Enfield MK4 No1 sights and its a 70 year old rifle

>>27913547

Still common with the Eastern combat philosophy as seen with the PSL and SVD. I think its kind of cool. Even if you break your scope or in some way lose your zero the rifle is still useful.

>>27913529
Cast FAL receiver...? Fuck I read this once before, is it coonan? Damn I wanna say it's coonan who does or did that.

Can be paired with almost any red dot.

Too 'spensive for my blood, but then again im a poorfag. I'll wait for Primary Arms to clone it if the idea catches on.

The theory is that it is more accurate than a SAW thereby being just as suppressive but than again I would prefer more bullets just in case.....

>>27913454
It takes the "automatic rifle" approach to LMGs, placing maneuverability and ability to keep up with the fireteam of more importance than sustained fire. It can still fire at a high rate, just not as much as a beltfed.

Basically an American RPK.

Also, I highly doubt it is replacing the M249, but instead supplementing it in use. Just like with the USMC, it's not like they tossed away all their M249s, they just now have more TO&E flexibility per combat environment.

They are not replacements to the SAW, they are supplementary.

Its bullpup, but that's the only advantage that I know.

>>27913445
No. It can't even shoot brass cased ammunition.

>>27913445

Yes... better at getting you killed.

>>27913371
>the risk?
the risk of what? spending money?
they're fine guns. not amazing in any way, but decent enough.

>smegma

>>27913371

Bought it to teach the girlfriend how to shoot because of the price. Have had no FTF, no FTE, came with two magazines holding 16 rounds. Shoots really accurate. The grip does become really slippery with wet hands, may wanna get a Hogue grip sleeve. I'd give it solid 8, shaky 9 out of 10.

>>27913259
it's bigger, and leaves a bigger wound channel. It's slower, but good defensive rounds all penetrate to about the same depth, so it's not really relevant.
you're a fucking moron if you think it's insufficient for self defense.

Well, if you ever time travel back to 1910 and have guard duty in the Philippines during the Filipino Insurrection, you may find the Colt 1911 to be pretty handy against raging, drug-fueled local tribesmen who haven't yet learned their children and grandchildren will be allowed to join the US Navy and run the fucking day-to-day operation, be supply chiefs, and mumbling weirdos who sit behind phones all day. They will attempt to scalp your young ass and remove your skin. The .45 is there to help as these bastards charge your post.

So yeah, the .45 is useless for self defense. Go ahead and shoot yourself in the foot, and watch and laugh as the bullet bounces off your sweet keds, or whatever the fuck you loudmouthed, opinionated, "oops, I'm triggered! Get me to my safe space!" manboys are wearing this week.

>>27913259
Insufficient? No

Poor choice in most cases? Yeah.

>>27913083
Don't waste your money. /k/ is hardly a capable force. Lurk this thread when more anons show up and you'll see that for yourself.

All we need is a large cargo plane and all the nuggets we can carry

>>27913083
Yes?

>>27913021
Yeah sure, why not, you're going to die next week in a car crash anyway.

>>27913021
Sure why not?

>>27913021
Sure why not

>I also never understood how two guns of the same caliber could cause different damage
muzzle velocity

>>27912985
I agree with your first point, but for the second one you can just blame it on barrel length/quality.

>>27913002
>>27912994
There has to be some better way to represent damage though.

>>27912847
nope

>>27912847
nope

>>27912847
Uh-uh.

I always thought of it more as "Three day old melted chocolate bar in my pocket."

>>27912829
I'd be concerned about blowing cases, suspect .460 Rowland has thicker walls and a thicker base than .45ACP.

>>27912843
But the same dies are used for resizing.
Dosent that mean its the same thickness? Else it wouldnt fit right?

.460 brass has a MUCH thicker case web. The primary reason its longer is to recoup the powder volume, being too long to chamber in a .45acp pistol is a secondary benefit.

Keep in mind .45super uses the exact same brass as .45acp but will kb many .45acp pistols, and .460 isnt that much hotter.

>>27912827
You can only get them used right now they hover around 1000cad.

Most of them were banned a while back then unbanned so dealers have yet to import more.

An updated CZ958 should be coming in a month and is better if you want to mount optics.

>What do they call things like the IOTV that's a soft armor system that can also carry plates?

Armor carrier.

>Are there better alternatives to the IOTV?
Yes. IOTVs are fucking horrible. Eagle CIRAS is something I personally have worn and know is better. Sure there are plenty others.

In fact, I'd rather wear an IBA again than wear an IOTV.

>Are plate carriers common in the military at all, or do they mostly use the IOTV?

IOTV or other soft armor vests are the standard issue in the US. Plate carriers are an exception where the command considers the reduced ballistic protection a nessesary trade off for better mobility. Militaries usually default to more protection without a specific reason to go to plate carrier though.

>What are some affordable body armor options for civilians?

See our bi-daily queergear threads.

>>27912836
I miss the IBA, why did they switch to IOTV again? For the females?

>>27912836
What makes the IOTV so bad?
