Is there any weapon more fucked up than project pluto?
Most of you know for those that don't:
>nuclear powered jet goes mach 3
>can fly for months
>self guides at low altitude, drops nuclear bombs
>Doesn't stop there.
>continues to circle at mach 3, at low altitude, creating a destructing shock wave as it circles... for months.
>Can also be programmed to fly over several cities.
>The whole time the engine is spewing radioactive waste.

Is there anything with more of a "fuck you" quality about it?

The longest test they did with they Tory-!!C engine was only 5 minutes long.
Flying around for months seems like a little bit of a stretch.
The shockwave wouldn't be too destructive, but the radiation would be.

The shockwave would be painful and annoying

I'd worry more about the nukes and unshielded nuclear reactor.
Nuclear propulsion is a silly thing.

Okay, /k/, help me out. I want to be an operator. This thread isn't necessarily about that however. This thread is about narrowing down my choices.

So, of the following Special Operations MOS/Rates, which do you guys think is the most elite, the most badass, or whatever. And why?

Army:
Rangers
Special Forces

Navy:
SEALs

Marines:
MARSOC
Recon
(MARSOC isn't possible to get into entry-level, or even early in one's career so I'm iffy on even considering it)

Air Force:
PJ
CCT
SOWT

For the life of me I cannot find any information on CCTs or SOWT beyond just the basic job description, so any and all information on that would be greatly appreciated.

>which is the coolest guize

Want to know how I know you're not cut out for special operations?

Tell me about how you're going to get in shape in basic training.
>>
>>27803662
It's not the "coolest", it's which is the most rewarding. I can google just about any of the jobs and find some snippet about what they do or some badass operation they were involved in. It's not a matter of which is "cooler".

I want to make a career of it, and I don't want to get through a pipeline, start doing my work and realize "Fuck, this is not at all what I envisioned".

As far as "getting in shape goes", I'm in good shape now, well enough to pass all entry level requirements for all SOF schools/selections. And my ASVAB scores qualify me for all as well. I'll obviously take time to focus on getting into better shape, sure, like improving my run time.

I'm 22 years old, and an office job isn't for me. I think I owe it to myself to try something new.

It's not mimicry. The soviets mandated the Czechs build weapons compatible with their service weapons. The Czechs made their versions as a sort of middle finger to the Soviets.

The 58 and AK and the 82 and Mak have nothing in common except the round and the fact both pairs work generally the same (gas operated select fire rifle, straight blowback pistol).

/k/, what do you think about the MSF hospital bombing? I can't ask /pol/ because they're clueless about military stuff.

I usually see these friendly fire incidents as being down to trigger happy pilots or wrong coordinates but there seems to be something different about this.

Why did it take 30 minutes after a distress call was made for them to cease fire? Why were they claiming that the hospital was bombed on the word of Afghan FAC, then changed the story and said it was actually on the initiative of the AC-130 crew? If the air force was responding to troops under fire would they usually send up an AC-130?

>>27802809
It was an unfortunate accident and nothing more. The crew onboard the aircraft sure as shit didn't realize they were shooting a hospital, and odds are if they even knew there was one in the town, they thought it was the one further away from the combat zone that got out unscathed.

The fact that it only took 30 minutes for the distress call to cause a ceasefire tells us one of two things
>the chain of command is impossibly efficient to get an order through that fast
Or more likely
>they ran out of things to shoot at after 30 minutes

The changing stories were probably a mix of people misremembering what happened and someone trying to cover their asses.

And an AC-130 was sent up because they're great for operations like that. It's like having an artillery battery that can loiter above the battlefield far longer than any regular strike aircraft can. The incident in question was less of a "shit we need CAS as fast as possible" and more of a "we need something to support an assault on this town"

Remember - as much as the media and MSF are trying to portray this as another My Lai, this is nothing of the sort. It's an unfortunate accident, and, while we should be owning up to it and trying to make amends, it doesn't deserve to be sensationalized like MSF is doing.

I want to ship an AR-15 to myself at an address in another state (VA to FL). Has anyone done this before? Is it as simple as packaging my rifle in bubble wrap and a box, printing out a UPS shipping label and dropping it off at a UPS store? It is going to my family's vacation condo in an apartment complex, so it would sit at the reception desk for a few days until I fly down for vacation. I would prefer not to go through the hassle and expense of shipping it to a local FFL if possible, but I definitely do not want to break any laws.

ATF website states:
>May I lawfully ship a firearm to myself in a different State?
>Any person may ship a firearm to himself or herself in the care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner “in the care of” the out-of-State resident. Upon reaching its destination, persons other than the owner must not open the package or take possession of the firearm.

The ups store can't ship firearms or anything remotely firearm related. Not even stocks, grips, bipods etc. Take it to a customer center/distribution center.

Oh, also, UPS will only ship to licensed dealers/manufacturers/collectors. You're fucked bud, the whole system is fucked.

So I've just been using Hoppe's oil forever since it's what I got with my first cleaning kit and I kind of stuck with it. Lately I've been hearing that grease is actually better as a lube than oil.

Arming the nuke. Like seriously, the Air Force did some videos on this back in the late 50s, chucking nukes out of trucks and planes, lighting them on fire, etc, to show how they don't blow up.

Choose one rifle and pistol cartridge.

This cartridge is now the only ammo you can ever fire.

It will serve every purpose from hunting to plinking to defense.

The rest of the P-series starts at $1015 MSRP for standard sights and $1108 for night sights, and they end up $800 and $900 respectively on the street, which means this starts at $900 as well.
