Hey /k/, I'm thinking of moving to Turkana to take a lucrative starship maintenance position, but the recent skirmishes between the rebels and the empire in that sector have me worried. Does anyone know what the local weapon laws are like? I want to be able to keep my DL-44 in case anyone starts going door to door.

I dunno, man, you get some seriously good combat duty pay on that new space station they're building, and the thing is so huge that you can barely tell that you're deployed.
>>
>>23881525
Rule of thumb, buddy. If there's a significant Imperial presence, your DL-44 is just as illegal as an X-wing.

Turkana is in rebel hands (for now at least)

ITT Post your favorite battles and military operations, I'll start off with a classic
>Largest amphibious invasion in history
>Allies finally returning to liberate Europe
>The final nail in the coffin for Nazi Germany
What's not to like about it, although the D-Day landings went pretty well, they had a brilliant deception plan and there was delay in reaction on Hitler's part, so really I think they got kinda lucky or at least could of faced a much tougher fight when trying to breakout.

I like Narva because it shows the impact of moral and training in combination with very bold tactics.
They attacked an entrenched enemy who outnumbered them 3:1 (and that is if you believe russian sources without scrutiny) and rolled them over simply due to boldness and lack of fear.

Battle of Legnica. Only a twist of fate saved Europe from the Mongol invasion.

Hey /k/ids! I got this history essay I gotta write, but my teacher is gay, and won't let me have complex opinions. He will only allow a strict 'yes' or 'no' with support. My question is..
>Did Stalin win the war for the allies?
Please consider Stalin's role in the control of the Red army, and the Red Army's role in the allied victory. Focus on the army, and weapon side of things. I will post a more politically geared version of this post in /pol/.

File: 66 - The face of war The first press pictures of dead US soldiers that was presented to the publicPapua New Guinea 1942-43.jpg (144KB, 729x944px) Image search:

In 1985 it was revealed that during the initial years of World War II the Office of War Information kept an archive refereed to as the "Chamber of Horrors". Within, photographs deemed too graphic for publication and possibly damaging to morale. Photos of dead Americans soldiers were not released to the press until 1943. As the war turned in favor of the Allies, such photographs (though often sanitized) were made available in order to combat overconfidence and maintain commitment on the home front.
Such attempts to manage news and information and to shape images and perceptions of the war fell far short of what other belligerent nations were doing and avoided the excesses of World War I—but they did amount to domestic propaganda and censorship that have been criticized since.
What rights do the public have regarding such photos?
Pic related: the first image released from the "Chamber".

>What rights do the public have regarding such photos?
Every right, if the press wanted to publish it. It's called the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
Also, starting Vietnam and onward, such images would hit stateside faster. You can literally broadcast a war live nowadays if you so felt like it.

Pulling out my K-Bar knife,
Set to take somebody's life,
'Cause all I ever want to see
Are bodies, bodies, bodies.
Throw another hand grenade,
Should have seen the mess I made,
'Cause all I ever want to see
Are bodies, bodies, bodies.
I'll kill anyone for you,
Anyone you tell me to,
'Cause all I ever want to see
Are bodies, bodies, bodies.

I'm trying to figure out if this is constitutional. Isn't there some legal precedent for Congress regulating certain firearm restrictions under the commerce clause?
>>
>>23826460
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Alaska also flat-out refuse to enforce any of the draconian federal gun laws as well?
>>
>>23826487
Federal law in theory overrides State law, but there's probably some loophole or something in the bill.

Is hardtack the most god-tier of war foods or what? Take practically an hour to make with a regular oven, only consists of flour, water, and salt, and can be kept at room temperature for decades. Tell me this wondrous biscuit isn't the best shtf food of all time.

It's also a good way to store flour; you don't end up with those little beetle assholes sneaking into it if you do it right. Then you can just crush it down and use it like normal as needed.
I keep a bin of it in my stockpile.

Sure, if you like having crooked teeth.

Honey.
Full of energy, doesn't go bad ever unless stored badly.
Went shooting today with some friends and shot a buddy's KSG. I'll begin by saying i had decent hopes for this weapon. Holding it, i felt as though it was at least decently built. First starting off, i had issues racking the slide, but i just thought just because i was doing something wrong.
Getting into shooting, skeet shooting (yes with the KSG). The weapon started to show it's darker side. Very few times i would fire off a whole tube without having some sort of malfunction. I had multiple FTF, FTE, double feeding. Very often it happened one after the other. Sometimes, i'd have to flip the weapon over just to cycle the action. Even then i would still get a FTF.
When it worked, it would work beautifully. Got at least 4 clays in a row at one point. Is it just me with some sort of user error, or is this weapon more a gimmick prone to failure (cause lolkeltech)
tl;dr Why does the KSG suck

This. They're very prone to short-stroking.
If I remember correctly, there was actually a particular reason as to why this frequently occurred that was rectified in later iterations, but I'm not sure.

I work part time at a gun counter, I get a good discount and it pays for my hobby. I've been sharing these silly stories for the past few weeks here on /k/. Yet again I invite others to post their funny gun shop experiences. This thread is for humor, some accounts may be exaggerated. Please don't take it too seriously.
FAQ
Q: Why won't you give people .22lr, asshole?
A: We sell tons of .22Lr, and are the best store in the area for .22lr availability and price. We also run out of .22lr sometimes, and that's where the funny stories come in. We ration out the ammunition with a certain limit on sales per day and per customer. This combats hoarding of .22lr and spreads the love around. If we didn't do this, preppers would show up Monday morning when we open and buy us out, then our shelves would be empty all week. Please try to understand..
