This has to be a joke. If not, fear has reached new loftier heights of retardation than ever before.
>>24287999
do these people have brains? that's just laughable, especially since the likely assailant is 99% likely to be a student of the school and know about it too
yeah, that'll really catch him off-guard

Rape.
Always have a hole ready for her to hide in. If you find an AIDS bracelet and know some shit about it, have her wear it.

/ak/ thread
eat shit weebs and keep your pedo crap on /a/
Let the senseless dumping of the same images we've seen time and time again with no worthwhile discussion commence.
So, /k/, I just got my new knives in the mail. I got a Cold Steel Chaos (pictured) and their OSS for $122.59. MSRP for them is $99.99 and $114.99, respectively. How'd I do?
well it looks nice-ish
>>24174404
I was really impressed by how solid it is. I thought the aluminum handle on the Chaos was going to be two pieces bolted together, and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the handle is a single piece.
The blade is what they call "SK-5", which is really just a plain carbon steel in the neighborhood of 1085. The data I could find pegs SK-5 at being .84-.85 percent carbon.
This is the OSS. Maybe I should invest in a camera...
Recently formatted my HDD and as such need to get ahold of the Do/k/ument as well as infographs and how-to:s like the /k/-special and four-winds.
Will post what little i have.
Hey /k/, I'd like some of your insightful wisdom please.
Being on 4chan, I'd like to assume quite a few of us like weebshit, and enjoy the occasional anime/manga. Well, I've always wanted to sort of do something like that, and I've always liked military shit. See where I'm going with this?
I wanted to start working on a light novel. Since it's weebshit, I think I can get away with some artistic freedom, but still wanted to try and portray a rather plausible scenario, real-world situations, and a certain degree of modern geo-politics.
To get to the point, I wanted to ask how plausible it is for a special operations unit specifically designed for ground insertion/extraction operations be? My first thoughts against it would be:
>You're putting more lives on the line to save a few, in a particularly hazardous environment.
>It seems rather costly, resource-wise. I assume a unit like this would warrant tier-1 funding, and I don't want to portray them as too glamorous.
>From what I've seen, rescue groups have very conservative methods and tactics. Rushing in with infantry fire squads seems retarded.
But, nobody wants to read the story of a regular grunt, and we all know military shit never sells well (not that I intend to sell at all. I just want an audience. Don't you guys have stories in your heads you wanna share?), so it'll have a bit of tacticool high speed shit going on. Any opinions?
Please leave /a/ faggot!!
>>24160774
>Rescue groups have very conservative methods and tactics. Rushing in with infantry fire squads seems retarded.
Well aren't you fucking clever.
Why would someone try rescuing another by rolling into the same situation, in the same manner, that landed said individual in a rescue worthy pickle.
Read up on para rescue or the 160 SOAR if you're interested in operator tier insertion/extraction that might or might not involve rescue.
>>24160939
Did a quick Google search
>"Its missions have included attack, assault, and reconnaissance, and are usually conducted at night, at high speeds, low altitudes, and on short notice."
I guess I should've fleshed my ideas out a bit more. There's obviously going to be some light air support, most likely from a chopper. They're gonna charge in, and try to generally flank whatever has anybody pinned, and provide fire support.
Just flashier, tacticool, and gimmicky. Just enough fire to recover whoever's there, and pull them out. Likewise, they'd be in suicidal fire team situations where they'd have to suppress/light up a place to provide cover for other, higher-priority groups and whatever the fuck they're doing.
Anyone seen American Sniper yet?
It's showing n only one theater in Hollywood, so I checked it out.
Fucking amazing, imo.
>manly tears also
Seems like an interesting story, even if other operators hate him.
That muhreen should scrape that hippie shit off his lip.

Isn't Jessie Ventura getting royalties from this because Kyle was a cunt liar? That's enough reason for me to go see it.
Hey /k/. First time gun owner here. Picked up this M44 not too long ago, and it's the second time I've shot her. I've used only Brown Bear and Tulammo, and ran about 160 rounds or so through her. First time, I "cleaned" her up on the spot, then a little more at home. Today, I cleaned her up a little, and then tried to finish up more once I got home. Is this rust? Please tell me it's not. Did I fuck up? What am I doing wrong? How do I clean a rifle, because I admit I don't know how exactly.
>>24129948
Not getting rust in the barrel is as easy as.
>have boresnake
>spray/dip boresnake with oil
>run through gun a few times
>you now have a layer of oil over everything so moisture can't reach corrosive salts even if they're still present
It's hard to tell if that's rust or something else from your pic.
>>24130012
>Wanting him to ruin his barrel with a bore snake.
>>24129948
>Is this rust? Please tell me it's not.
Looks like metal fouling from the copper jacket. Soak a patch in some copper solvent, run it down the bore, and let it sit for an hour. Then run another patch soaked in copper solvent down and see what comes out. Run a few more patches through, then a few dry ones and check again for color. If it remains, then repeat.
Guys I'm a genius. I archived the last thread so if I die people will know what happened. Here's my last update:
>went into the kitchen
>turned lights on
>saw reflection in the window
>gasped with the force of a thousand suns
>heart skipped a beat
>dropped to knee, fists up
"Fuck, I'm an idiot."
>make my rounds
>doors still locked
Good
>going up the stairs to check on wifey
>hear doorknob rattle once
O fuk
>turn
>draw knife
"Fuck, I'm not good at ignoring shit."

Here's the first thread

Sitting calmly with a sammich to watch the proceedings. Have you considered music (Not loud enough to attract its attention, mind) to boost morale?
Very very very very very spooped /k/. Here's what happened

What the fuck do I do now? I haven't told my wife what happened and I don't plan on it. The last thing I want to do is worry her.
help
Open this thread in /x/. It's either some crackwhore on pcp or a skinwalker/paranormal thing. Post link to new thread. Some of the xfags will actually be helpful, surprisingly. DO NOT follow the fucking thing into the woods.
>>24058373
No intention to follow it, believe me. Just locked down the house. None of the /x/fags have replied yet
If anybody's lurking I forgot to mention that it wasn't even trying to get into the shed. Just fucking staring at the doors.
No spooky innawoods thread? Spooky Innawoods thread.
NOPED the fuck outta the woods once late at night when a screetching thing was following me parallel on the other side of a river.
Here's one.
Fuck that shit.
One time I was in SoCal, was shooting in the deserts and heard a huge boom in the distance, went up the hill and didn't see a soul.
>meet some operators in the lunch room talking about how it used to be in Iraq
>overhear some guys talking about the animals
>tell them my grandpa saw some shit with horrible animals in Morocco
>Operator turns left and begins an awesome story.
>When I was in Iraq we were driving posts for a new fence. I was in the infantry guarding the piledriver machine ACoE used to drive the poles into the sand
>there were some convenient holes, evenly spaced about 12 feet apart all around the location of our new base.
>everything is going better than expected because piledriver machine has no problem driving posts into the ground.
>All of a sudden Arab with 3 camels with all kinds of bags and shit attached to their back begins to approach us and starts flailing his hands wildly and yelling
>Red Alert
>no interpreter is available, the best we have is some black guy whose a muslim from chicago and speaks some broken arabic.
>we tell the guy to stop advancing, he keeps coming
>bang bullet whizzes by the arab guys face
>he nearly shits his pants
>wont stop wildly yelling
>but stops moving forward
>camels start to bug out
>black guy thinks he heard somthing about a snake
>thinks the guy is not a problem, tries to talk to him from a safe distance while we all have our M-4's pointed right at the guy and his camels
>piledriver machine almost done with poles.
>ACoE guys getting ready with chicken wire and razor wire for the fence
>black guy appears to be making broken conversation with camel man
>all of a sudden black guy turns the color of michael jackson
>RUN GET AWAY FROM THE PILEDRIVER
>Piledriver guy asks why, is there an IED?
>THE HOLES ARE COBRA HOLES RUN AWAY NOW!
>as the black guy finishes the sentance about 100 cobras come out of each hole and start hissing and bobbing thier heads with hoods open all over the place
>snakes hissing all over the place in the desert
>we run away
Pic related, its the desert cobra and he doesn't fuck around.
