Weapons used by the PIRA

>>32443540
Stolen FALs and sterlings, ww1 and weapons, Saturday night specials and hunting rifles

>>32443597
>Hunting rifles
Did a paramilitary organization use bolt action rifles in a modern guerrilla warfare where the enemy uses automatic weaponry?
I think that you mean that they where used as sniper rifles.

>>32443648
See Syria and yemen, people running about with mausers shooting at guys with aks, martini henry in afghanistan, nagant rifles in vietnam, it happens and not just as snipers

>>32443663
It sounds to me like a pathetically inadecuate weapon for modern warfare, the minimum necessary to me are semi-auto weapons.

>>32443674
They served besides semis and fills 75 and even 100 years ago so they'll do fine now

>>32443540
they were specialist in the use of the dragon dildo.

>>32443540
they also used psyops techniques.

they would tie someone to a chair and then suck him off over and over.

Didn't they also get G3s from one of the Scandinavian countries?

>>32443540
Enfields lad. I have my grandfather's one by my side.

>>32443540
>AK-47

>>32443738
What? How many blowjobs till it becomes torture?

>>32443899
the ira members were highly trained to continue giving blowjobs until the subject went insane with agony.

>>32443912
I'd like to be interrogated like this

>>32443877
did your grandfather serve in the british army?

>>32443912
What the fuck? Source?

>>32443925
During WW1. After he was sent home he had an option of joining black and tans or going back to derry.

He went back to later join Irish free state army in 1922.

>>32443926
i was brought up in N.Ireland. its a well known fact but it never gets mentioned for obvious reasons.

>>32443938
Tell me more friend.

>>32443944
there is not much more to tell. There were female volunteers who offered to do it but the men would never let them.

they were to proud. being captured by these type of elite IRA volunteers was a UVF soldiers worst nightmare.

>>32443954
There's no such thing as "UVF soldiers". There're loyalist scum and backstabbers of Irish nation, every republican will agree to that one.

>>32443966
absolutely. they were paid shills of an evil empire.

it makes my blood boil thinking of the brave and noble irish volunteers, who had to wrap their lips round the shaft of such scum in order to extract vital intelligence for the cause.

>>32443674
When you're an insurgent force with limited numbers of weapons of grade, you use what you can.

>>32443979
My father, my brother, my uncle and my grandfather from my father's side were provisionals, none of them're alive now, and I was bit young at the time. I'm 31 now.

>>32444009
god bless them for the sacrifice they made.

>>32444017
Aye lad. I'm still watching PoblachtachAontacht and Saoirse Eireann on youtube and when I see English bastards and BBC calling those glorious valiant men "Terrorists"..

Oh great another thread for red haired alcoholic brits to whine about being special snowflakes

>>32444037

You mean yanks role-playing as "freedom fighters", right?

>>32443926
There is no sauce samefag

>>32444026
Didnt the PIRA sell out along with the Feinn and now they want to flood ireland with shitskins?
You really need a anti-immigration IRA.

>>32443938
The loyalist use of rimjobs was worse t.b.h. Those forelock tuggers could get their tongues so far upa man he'd be begging for mercy quickfast.
>>32443540
P.R.I.Gs are great insurgency weapons.

the brits managed to turn senior PIRA operatives when they uncovered the peado network they were running.

after that peace was assured in return for burying the story and taking no further action.

Nah senpai, I mean actual Irish. Or do you think /k/ is 100% fatnik?

>>32444074
Sounds like you where cucked by your leaders.
Sorry to hear.

>>32443738
boston irish here.

Did this really go on?

>>32444074

why is this not well known? is this a fake news story?

>>32444085
we will never forgive them. The war was lost and the next generation arent interested in the fight anymore.
half of them have married brits they met in university or other foreigners.

>>32444112
What in gods name happened to white people all over the world, the brits used to be fearsome imperialists, the irish used to be ruthless rebels and the americans used to be pioneers, the swedish used to have an empire.
Now they are all cucks and overgrown babies.

>>32444125
Not enough struggle and hardship.

>>32444130
Lets see where the eurocucks go with the muzzies.

>>32444063
>IRA attacks are still continuing to this date by different groups

>>32444100
of course it went on. it was war, anything goes in war. whatever it takes.

being neither irish nor american this shouldn't be a surprise. Was copying the irish to compare to Scottish Gaelic.
>>32444112
anti-foreigner or just pro-inbreeding?
>>32444100
brit govts of the period were riddled with edo rings too: now the gang rape of children has been ousourced to the third world. Progressive AF.

Irish Republican Army
Official IRA
Provisional IRA
Continuity IRA
Real IRA
IRA Begins
IRA Rises
IRA the provo awakens

we will never stop or surrender

>>32444071
like hell they did. i used to support the IRA until 9/11.

the IRA can rot in hell with the other terrorists.

>>32443540
Did they kick all the women out?

and doesn't the Irish Army have AUGs? That's pretty cool

its seems they do.

they have come alongway since using ak's and armalites.

>>32444276

If it makes you even angrier to know that IRA groups trained and provided material support for Afghans and Iraqis. So those groups are directly responsible for the deaths of American service personal.

>>32444359
in that case am glad the brits won and finally defeated the IRA.

we threw those redcoats out when we had the chance.

>>32444372

Arguably nobody won, just that conditions were met so that a legitimate political process could begin.

>>32444395
in the second world war we had to beat hitler
in the first gulf war our objective was free kuwait.
in the gulf war two we wanted sadamms ass. we delivered.

the IRA's objective was to retake N.ireland.

they failed. therefore the british won.

>>32443674
It's that or run out there with nothing but your wits and your fists. I'd rather have a bolt action with me than no gun at all.

>>32444482
the ira used gorilla tactics to make those bolt action count.

>>32444431
The brits didn't won a legit military victory, they just bought off most of the leaders and released the IRA members in jail.

>>32443674
Wrong

>>32444730
so where are the IRA then?

>>32444235
>IRA Begins
>IRA Rises
>IRA the provo awakens

KEK you got me good, also severely underrated

>>32444782
They got bored and went home and lived happily ever after

>>32444359
the SAS went into Chechnya after the fall of the USSR with GRU to prevent arms deals

>>32443540
Oh hey, I was watching this 70s Panorama doc the other day, about training British Army officer cadets at Sandhurst. The cadets are given a lecture on weapons they might expect to see used against them in NI, the AK and the AR-180. Not much info but neat so I might as well post.

Remember Patriot Games, which I will now go and post in the operator movies thread, when Sean Bean goes to an IRA training camp in Afghanistan.

>>32444782
Some are still active, barely clinging to existance, the rest quited, some are high ranking politicians in NI.

>>32446406
Source? I would really like to know more about this.

>>32443540
Did these guys use AR-18s or AR-180s?

>>32443540
So is there any benefit for N. Ireland being in the UK. It seems like the majority in N. Ireland aren't happy about being part of a Protestant country.

>>32444359
Just like the US federal government did
>really makes you think

>>32443540
Fuckin safety's on

>>32444303
Irish Army has nothing to do with the IRA from the troubles.

>>32444730
Yes, whilst also making the IRA relise they could never win through armed struggle.

>>32448497
The majority of the north is protestant, that's the whole reason it's a separate entity from the Republic.

>>32451277
the country is officially called the republic of ireland. that is the irish republican army.
