He should dare them to, then use the "tragedy" to justify nuking them back.
>>34709478
BINGO!
>>34709478
Unfortunately that's what's it going to come down to, a preemptive strike will make the US look bad and royally piss of China, so really the only option is to sit on the ready line waiting to vaporize NK when they launch a real attack.
Could anything ever replace it?
What could be done to improve it without losing its popularity?
Will people still be shooting it in 100 years?

>Probably the most-produced and most-shot in the country, if not the world.
>"Will anything replace it?"
No.
>>34708916
the better question is why replace it?
What's the best gun for pocket carry?
Pic not related; it has no firing pin block and as such Ruger discourages carrying while chamberd
>>34707444
I really like my P238. Thing is positively tiny. SAO with a manual safety, so if that isn't your thing then look elsewhere. Handles like a dream, shoots well, and has good control surfaces. That's why I got it. Other pocket pistols are seemed lacking in those departments.
>>34707444
>Pic not related; it has no firing pin block
The original LCP didn't either, but a million of them were sold and you never heard reports of them accidentally going off when all those guns were pocket carried.
>and as such Ruger discourages carrying while chamberd
They're just trying to cover their asses. This is a company that stamps "read instruction manual prior to use" on all their guns.
>>34707444
That's a matter of opinion.
I have to dress for business, and go to places that are NOT gun friendly (even in AZ these places exist).
To suit my needs, I have been carrying a S&W M&P Bodyguard 380 w/o laser. I carry in a pocket holster, which as proven comfortable, and offers super deep concealment. The downside is that in a clutch situation, drawing it would be less than graceful.
I have had ZERO issues with this little mouse gun, and have well over 1500 rounds through it. Like any mouse gun, you'd better PRACTICE with it.
FWIW I'm no S&W fanboy, I enjoy firearms by many manufacturers.

Imagine someone finally did it, they bought an island, or a large chunk of land outside of the US with intent to create a /k/olony. What would it take for you to join them? What's your bare minimum requirement for infrastructure, order, logistics, etc?
>>34705876
my life is terrible, I have nothing to live for. No friends, a family that doesn't give a shit about me, nothing. If they would accept me there I'd gladly head over.
everyone is picturing some libertarian rhodesia but in reality its going to be a total clusterfuck on the levels of third world africa.

What did the F-14 do so poorly such that she was greatly outlived by the contemporaries in her generation of fighter?
>>34702128
why was f-14 only sold to iran but not other more important allies?
>>34702128
If Tom Clancy taught me anything it's that the F-14 is the best fighter ever made and that we shouldn't have retired them or the Phoenix missiles.
Instead of F-35s we should've developped 2 classes of carrier aircraft, a fighter-bomber, and an interceptor armed with extreme-range air-to-air missiles.
afaik it needed an extensive maintenance and had some safety problems
But planetside 2 told me VTOL aircraft were the future, what went wrong?
They're more dangerous than helicopters and slower than jets and all of our infrastructure is based on fixed wing aircraft and helicopters
>>34701793
But Anon, VTOL IS the future.

>How do you like that polymer stock compared to the wood?
I personally like it better. The wood stock is aesthetic, but the polymer one is much more durable and useful. The fact that you can rotate the cheek rest to whatever position you need it in depending on the optics you are using make it a much better design.

No pics because electroics die and kill all my saved images, but still working on Saudi G3, FAL G1, and South African Kommando LDP. Need to do finish on G3 receiver and weld it up, get a receiver for FAL, and figure out how tf to make bolt on LDP a closed one.

How would you set up a rig for one of these? Let's say you break a 10/22 down put it in a duffle bag and had to go from point A to B moving through a refuge crowd, evacuating a city, or going through a town in some sort of post disaster environment and wanted to conceal some mags and gear underneath a jacket or something. Assume you also have your CCW
