>Board is called weapons >is /k/ >/k/ Why

>>31216981
Be/k/ause /k/omrade it is what it is

>>31216981
/k/ for Kill yourself

>>31216981
Because you can have /k/ommando /k/illing/k/ommie /kancer/.

Also because /w/ is anime/wallpaper for some reason.

>>31216981
I understand that there are exceptions, but most gun owners are racist and white. I've always thought it was a ironic acknowledgement of the Klan.

>>31216981
Gee idk

Maybe if you rotate that image of an AR you posted about 90 degrees counter clockwise you will unsderstand.

Better yet, try it with a similar picture of an AK.

>>31216981
Kusanagi is the reason this board is called /k/. Wail all you want, 4chan started off as a weeb board.

>>31216981

/k/atanas

>>31217152
It also just so happens that the Japanese word for "firearm" is Kokaki.

>>31217152
This is really the only reason

I'm getting a lot of usage out of this lately.

>>31217208
What about /pol/, /int/, /tv/, and /fit/?

>>31217266
all the boards with japanese derived names that aren't specifically a japanese topic are old. basically, somewhere along the line the naming scheme changed.

it's worth pointing out that /pol/ used to be /n/.

>>31217312
That was when moot started fucking with the formula and everything went to shit.

>>31216981
/k/raut space magic

There's an cap out there of moot himself saying the meaning, and it's /k/ - killers.

I don't have it handy but someone may post it.

>>31217208
>keisatsu
No, that would be "police."

>>31216981

kyouki (凶器) is where /k/ comes from.

>>31216981
Because katana.

>>31217958
This OP. Anything else is asspull answers by people who don't know. I'll see if I can find the pic in my /k/ folder but if anyone else wants to post it please do.

>>31217152
This, moot himself confirmed /k/ is for /k/usanagi

>>31217061
Nigger do i look white to you

>>31218072
4chan used to have a lot more boards labeled a through z

/k/ just happened to end up as the weapons board. It's just coincidence like every other board name prior to them getting two alpha characters

>>31217152
Well that is kawaii.

>>31216981
>/k/
Because Moot referred /k/ to killers

4chan is a copy of 2chan, which is a Japanese image board. >>31217312 is correct and >>31217208 comes close, but gets most of the details wrong.

>>31218031 is the correct answer.

>>31218213

All bullshit.

>>31217204
I kept trying to remember what the word was, thinking it was gun or weapon

>>31218114
Yeah, probably.

>>31218142
this is it

>>31217204
>the Japanese word for "firearm" is Kokaki.
More bullshit. See: http://jisho.org/search/kokaki

You have a problem with the designation, slick?

>>31218337
seems legit

>>31216981
/k/atana

>>31217208
I always thought /b/ was for /b/aka.

>>31217208
What about /o/?

>>31218243
You literally had to look only 4 posts up to see the answer from moot himself dipshit: >>31218142

What is the rear sight in OP's pic related?
