Turning 19 soon and I want to get my dick wet with a bolt action. Any good bolt gats out there I should consider or is the Mosin really the only way to go? Also post your rifles if you have them
>>34539852
Mosins have gotten pricey Anon. Plus the bolt is kinda trash. If you want a military rifle, and money for ammo isn't an issue, big 5 usually has old yugo mausers stocked. Bolt is better than Mosins and they are generally better put together. Can't help ya if you want something modern though sorry. Although Remington 600's and 660's are pretty fun.
>>34539852
At this point, just get a Mauser. 7.62x54r prices are going up (like 40 CPR on average now) and they currently cost the same as Mausers.
>>34539922
I heard Mausers are all over priced though
They don't camouflage with anything, in fact they stand out. I imagine they get hot as hell too. So why are they worn?
>>34535846
Probably to differentiate police units from actual military.
When has a LEO Entry Team ever required camoflage and concealment?
>>34535889
HRT wears camo
does anyone use a pistol lanyard. i have to stop using my shoulder holster its just no comfortable anymore when its hot and i have to go back to a outside the belt holster but i dont want another gun stolen so i was thinking about using a lanyard since my glock has the little hole for one.
>>34534823
It's a fucking cord. Jesus, people have to come to an anonymous message board for validation over the most pathetic shit. Use it if you feel like using it.
>>34534927
im not looking for validation. im asking if anyone uses one. i want to know the pro and con of using one. i could see it snagging on things alot and being a bitch but i also think it will keep someone from grabbing my gun and running off.
>>34534993
Nigga, it's a cord. You've managed to sum up all the pros and cons yourself.
Would /k/ approve of a Ruger LCRx .38 (COPPERED) for $360?
>>34532743
forgot to mention this would be an edc. Closing down a store at night and need a small carry gun
>>34532751
>Plastic
>Revolver
>Still costs 360$
Anon why?
>>34532743
The 357 will always be superior since the extra weight makes shooting 38 +P better and the fact that you can still shoot 357 if you want to. There are plenty of really good defensive loads for 2" revolvers.

Well, /k/?
>>34531802
Not all of us are fat bloated sacks of shits
>>34531816
got it, you're skinny fat. Same thing.
>>34531802
It's not a bad idea to stay fit, but it certainly isn't required to defend your life. You aren't expected to chase down bad guys. just draw your pistol and be able to hold it briefly.
What fucking irks me is seeing Firefighters/EMS or Police that are fat fucks.
I don't want some 300lb mother fucker pulling me out of a burning house leaking hamburger grease all over me while wheezing his lungs out trying to give me CPR.
Is the Merkava as remarkable as they say in various documentaries or is it just IDF ass licking?
>>34531401
Both.
>>34531401
Maybe
>>34531401
It's a modern enough tank being used against people a half step removed from poo-in-loo.
So no/yes.
>France and Germany have agreed to develop a European fighter jet to replace their existing fleets, part of a raft of measures to tighten defense and security cooperation, according to a document issued after a Franco-German cabinet meeting in Paris on Thursday.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-france-germany-defence-idUSKBN19Y1FJ?il=0
WTF, I like Merkel and Macron now.
>>34531183
I'm sure it will be as successful and well funded as the other fleets of joint aircraft projects of European states. How's them german europifghters doing?
>>34531183
Good, now move on to creating a fat fucking uboat krauts.
>>34531183
Why no Raf? What's wrong with Raf?
Is the T-72 still a viable MBT in today's battlefield?
Yep. Updated armor, modified autoloader and day/night sight puts B3 at least on par with A4, the bulk of NATO armor in Europe. With the advent of remote control modules, fully unmanned T-72s will stay in active service for decades to come.
>>34530763
Yeah viable to kill Wessies with
>>34530817
>puts B3 at least on par with A4
>A4 that is inferior to T72A
lol
These missiles will shoot down the burger.
>>34530736
PL-15 BVRAAM = 200+km
PL-10 ASR AAM = 30+km
The PL-15 is the missile that spooked the USAF general Carlisle, who was calling for an AIM-120 replacement to outstick it.
All Chinese tactical fighters will get this missile combo, from J-20 to "old" J-11B.
>>34530752
aka R-77 and R-60 with increased failure rate and decreased accuracy
Should have bought Russian
If you had to kill a bear with a melee weapon, what weapon would you chose and what would be your plan of attack.
>inb4 "I'd run my ass outta there lmao" just go with the hypothetical my dude.
Spear. I'd spear it.
>>34530663
What part would you aim for?
>>34530665
center mass I'd imagine, lungs/heart
This missile said to be "Impossible" to intercept by any anti-missile, because it's stealthy and small and super manoeuvrable
Isn't there any solution to it
It's not only stealthy, the missile of Iskander is also carrying a fake targets and electronic warfare suit
>>34530528
Dont let it launch
>>34530573
You can't
Could they have resisted the Nazi incursion?
Yeah man that country was literally built to be a fortess

I luv you ;)
What are some /k/ careers? I feel like a failure because all of my family has been either military or police. I'm the first to be born with weak lung genetics, and have asthma. The military very plainly said no, and my local police force also denied me. I'm currently in school to become a dietician (an interest of mine), but I can't really see myself sitting behind a desk all day doing it for life.
To keep it gun related, what is the most aesthetic revolver, and why is it the 586?
>>34528714
just get a computer degree
focus on security or networking
go make tons of $$
then work for FBI CIA DHS etc
>>34528714
I am a paramedic. You get training that is completely useful and they accept asthmatics as well as diabetics.
>>34528915
How are hours and pay? I'm in CO, and they make about $15 an hour.
What country makes the best guns?
>>34527931
Turkey
>>34527931
I'm fond of IWI.
Actually Japan
Miroku/Browning is impossible to beat

How do I prepare for boot
Also how do I tell my recruiter I only want one or two rates and have no interest in anything else
>>34527771
First off the butthurt Air Force faggot made the thread. Fuck the AF even more now.
>>34527781
>mos
Its rate just fyi
>Corpsman
That's a great choice honestly. Its extremely flexible. If you just wanna be abasic one that's great but make sure you go to a ship as your first duty station. Lots fo times corpsman go to hospitals shroe side right away and its not a good thing.
If you wanna go fmf and work with marines thats cool to and if you wanna be billy badass and be a sarc more power to you.
