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.
>>27803720
The shockwave would be painful and annoying
>>27803736
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.
>>27803704
>Entry level requirements
>Muh run
When I can kick you out of bed at 2 AM and you can shit out a 325 out of 300 on an APFT, come back.
Is it considered a cushy job? All the embassies I've visited have had private contractor security outside and at the gates, what do the enlisted guards inside do?
Get captured or murdered by brown people typically.
Help the squishy diplomats lift heavy documents when comes time to burn it all, reenact a zombie movie with brown people.
wait for their chance to fight off hoards of brown people
>Vz. 58 looks like AK
>CZ 82 looks like Makarov
Any more guns those crazy Czechs visually copied?
Did ny other countries or companies engage in this kind of mimicry?
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.
>>27803328
I didn't mean it in a bad way.
>>27803292
>weapons of the same era, purpose, bloc, design school and caliber look vaguely alike
>OMG THEYS COPIED IT
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).
How do you become a SWAT?
1) be a cop
2) dont be bad
>>27803265
1. be willing to murder people for stupid drug laws
>Shoot first
>Ask questions later
Questions like "was he even armed?" , "it's this the right house?"
Wouldn't using this break your wrist? I'm not a gun enthusiast so I don't actually know.
>>27803120
Mop. It rocks your socks but its not a wrist breaker.
>>27803120
>Implying you have to know about guns, to also know about physics
If it would break your wrists why would people use it in the first place? I bit the bait...

What does /k/ use for home defense?
>>27802975
AR-15.
17 rounds 94gr Wolf WPA
Bowie Knife.
I don't want to be rude and wake the neighbors.
/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.
The real story that you're not going to hear is
>Airstrike was intentional to kill Big Boss
>MSF was played like a damn fiddle
They were played like a damn fiddle
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.
Source: I work in a ups store.
Oh, also, UPS will only ship to licensed dealers/manufacturers/collectors. You're fucked bud, the whole system is fucked.
>>27803024
how come my package from psa always come through ups then?
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.
What's the best, most practical lube to use? What do you use?
>inb4 canola oil
Motor oil on everything most of the time.
TW-25B on my carry gun, because it attracts less crud.
>>27802763
5w-30
lithium-moly grease on everything. even the old chassis fans on my pc ran great with it.
Well this time we have a much longer time to discuss plan and fap.

Realistically, what would it take to mushroom the town?
>>27802680
You can drop it from a plane but if it's not armed it won't blow up
>>27802680
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.
>>27802680

>when the gun is empty and locked open, it's only the follower that's holding the bolt back
And from a comment he posted on the video
>The bolt will drop as soon as the follower is depressed even when it is fully locked open. When you are loading a clip, however, the clip itself holds the bolt back until it's fully inserted,
nobody cares
OP confirmed never having loaded an M1
>>27802640
If you didn't care, why reply?
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.
Choose wisely.
7.62x51mm NATO
.45 ACP
Now git
40x53mm
>>27802561
7.62x51
.22
That should work for me.

It'll probably sell at $700-$800
>>27802532
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.
