Hello there /k/ board. I'd like to make a short post.
My very good, very slavic, very loyal friend recently passed away. He was former military, and an outstanding soldier while he was enlisted. He was ADSEP'd under chapter 12 for substance abuse. After his spouse left him and took his child, and the conflict overseas died down, it all took a toll on him. Even if others didn't see it. He always put on a smile, always the life of the party. He loved /k/, he loved his moist nugget, his SKS, and his bow chang norinco(?) radio equipment. You guys were good family to him even if he did not post often or got mad shit for liking Glocknades.
Until the end, he was a wonderful person and no matter what demons he had inside he made sure never to be negative around others. He's saved my life and countless' others multiple times. Truly a great young man who was gone too soon. Two days again he became blacked out intoxicated and consumed 24mg of xanax he had for prescription. He went to sleep and never woke up.
He didn't have a will, or much of a family besides me, his brothers in arms he still spoke with after EAS, and you, /k/. You were his home and he lurked every day he was home. I'm not as well acquainted with this board as he was, but in his last few months y'all seemed to really make him happy if at least only on the outside.
I love you David, you were a good man, a good Russian, who loved America and had a passion for kebab removal like no one else.
Here's to you, you crazy slavic piece of shit. Keep you kevlar strapped and rest in peace. I'll see you in Valhalla brother.
Be sure to poor one out of him, /k/ommandos. He loved you all.
Until we regroup.
rest in rip

Only one I have. To this day, I'm still friends with the other guy in the car whose mom was driving. We still shout, "At least my parents raised me right!" as a joke when it's appropriate.
>>22972070
That's pretty fucked up

>We still shout, "At least my parents raised me right!" as a joke when it's appropriate.
That's never appropriate to say anon.
At least my parents raised me right.

Once we get outer haven I think distilling our own liquor would be cool.
Theoretically, do you think that /k/ could invade Sealand and claim it as the new Outer Heaven?
>>22932216
No, an invasion takes hierarchical structure and a supply chain
all /k/ has is a bunch of autists with ARs and nuggets
Might do a decent job at repelling an invasion though
>>22932216
meh, that would take effort.
collectively we have the resources and capability, but not the leadership or motivation

Hey, /k/.
I've been on /r/ for about half-an-hour trying to find a picture of a crashed V-22 Osprey with the text "Here we see a V-22, Sunning itself on the rocks as it prepares to consume it's natural prey: U.S. Marines", or something of the sort.
I've been checking Google and /r/, and I can't find the damn thing anywhere. If anyone could help me find this pic, I'd greatly appreciate it and I'll burn the thread once it's found.
Thank you my fellow /k/ommandos. Until then, /k/ humor thread, I guess?
>pic I'm looking for is somewhat related
>Rip it energy
Jesus christ that is like the most disgusting budget energy drink

They've got some new one out, recently, that tastes like orange creamsicle. It's delicious, but makes my superior American frame much more superior.
Ok guys, as promised, here it is. How to build an M16A1 clone from a Colt M16 parts kit...

fantastic, thanks
/k/. How long and how advanced will the U.S. Navy , Army, Air force, Marines be until it will reach into space with war ships, SF and other equipment?
>>22946874
Until the unit cost per pound of putting things in space decreases 500 fold.
Probably a hundred years or so
>>22946874
You think the United States as a country, let alone countries as a concept will last that long?

I was considering having a sword custom forged to my specifications, not some shitty off the rack Cold Steel monstrosity.
>Be slightly over 6 foot
>Be about 200 pounds
>Pretty strong, regularly go to the gym/hike/shoot
I was most interested in a High Medieval Hand- and- a- Half sword or perhaps a broadsword.
Anyone have experience with swordsmiths/blacksmiths?
Or is it all just weaboo crap nowadays?
Peter Regenyei made me a pretty decent longsword. Some anachronostic features with the blade though, I should have specified a bit better what I wanted I guess, he can certainly make them without such.
Otherwise, well, there's a lot of smiths out there who appear to know what they're doing when it comes to swords. What exactly do you have in mind?
unless its solely as a collection wall-hanging piece, my general advice is, never buy a custom sword, until you've been collecting commercially available stuff for a little while.
why?
simply because you will regret it in the long run. "I should've got a scent-stopper, not a wheel pommel", "I'd have preferred a longer grip" things like that. little details that you only really learn about from swinging a sword or three around a bit. That's even more relevant if you're wanting to learn it as a martial art. Using a blunt sparring sword for a few years you start to find you like particularly details - a slightly shorter blade, or a longer blade as you prefer the thrust, etc.
those details are what make the weapon work for you, but only trying out other swords will give you the hands-on experience to know what works for you. Otherwise, its a shot in the dark as to wether what the smith will make is what you'll like.
Also, research, research, and more research. You need to know the details of what real ones are, so that, as KM mentions, you avoid anachronistic features. A good swordsmith doing a custom job should be a long back and forth discussion of details, photos of originals, etc etc, to use as the basis of what they would make, but you need to know your history, just so you're not going to make a mistake if the smith is in error. Many are exceptionally good historians, but many more are not historians.
Pic is one by Peter Johnsson.

It's pretty universally unanimous that Halo is /k/ as fuck(for a sci fi game)
ODSTs are fucking gods mayne.
>>22948126
I read the books growing up.
ODST's were some of the coolest shit.
Fuck spartans.
The magnum is is basically an S&W500 in space. Explains why it can shoot down Banshees.
So, I love guns and all, but i'm feeling a more historic side of me comin up. So, I'm curious what is everyone's favorite historical armor. Looks wise I would say that I rather liket he look of maille under a tunic with a great helm, typical of what you would see in any movie with templars. But practically, I would much prefer the armor of the high Gothic period. Weapons wise, I like polearms such as billhooks, halberds, and spears. The Ahlspiess also seems interesting to me.
Gothic armour is also my favorite, but Second would be the coat pf plate and bascinet
behold! the oldest weapon in all mankind's history, tremble in its wake, fear its power, and beg for mercy before your life ends!
Why can't /k/ into medieval stuff? Medieval threads only get like 7 posts before dying.
Nightly F-35 shitstorm
Daily reminder that it's going to be the dominant air platform into the 2030's
>>22881508
>dominant western/NATO air platform
The more smarter countries that aren't tied to the US can always buy any recent version of the Su-30/35, MiG-29, Gripen, Rafale or J-10, JF-17 if they are dirt poor.
>>22881802
>more smarter countries
Anyway, all of those platforms are pretty much inferior.
>>22881802
>buy inferior shit for no reason other than you're a poorfag
This whole F-35 shitstorm has been said about the F-4, the F-111, the F-16 etc.
Lets see your battle/k/ats.
