Alright /k/, I know some of you have been putting off cleaning your guns.
This thread is to remind you to service your weapons. So come on in, start up some music, get your patches in order, get your space laid out, and get to cleaning!
I'll be posting /k/ stuff for a bit. Join me if you'd like. I have an afternoon to waste.
My uncle wants a pocket knife for his birthday that had, in his exact words, "nothin' new-fangled." I'm assuming that means no thumbstuds, pocket clips, fancy locks, or anything else useful.
Based on that criteria, is there any reason to get anything besides a Buck 110?
>>28653744
Get him an obsidian knife and call him a tacticool mallninja faggot if he wants anything more modern.
>>28653744
Buck 110s are great and everyone should have one.

Thoughts on joining the french foreign legion? 19 if that has any bearing on your answer
>>28652798
If you do join, don't go for infantry. Not like they need more of that anyways.
The legion is overly romanticized IMO

Why does /k/ hate Swiss milsurp when these are one of the best price/quality rifles you can currently buy?
We dont you autist, The K-31 is one of the nicest rifles I own. 7.5 Swiss is just hard to find
>>28652388
The K31 I own is all beat up and ugly. I'll be damned if it isn't one of my favorite rifles to shoot. Big boom and accurate as hell. Since most of the other gun owners I hang out with are fudds also, I get to showcase the rifle every time I go shooting with them. Every single time I show them the straight pull bolt they get all nervous and say something along the lines of "there's no way that is safe." While hunting with rusted .303s and barely working pump actions.

So why all the hate for a hipoint 9mm on k? I keep seeing customers rave about it. Hipoint boasts about the low return rate of it. And every popular gun review channel i watch has essentially the same content: some crusty old dude talking about how hideous and undesirable it is, then he begrudgingly, through his closed teeth, talks about how the gun is reliable and accurate. is all the hate for this weapon meme-based or what?
tl.;dr
What exactly is wrong with hipoint , specifically the c9 pistol?
>>28651827
It's cheap so niggers use them. Are you a nigger?
it's a poorfag gun
It is absolutely the best gun in its price range.
However, for $150-200 more, you could have something so much nicer.
These will be new mini-missiles for the F-35, F-22 and other fighters, letting them carry 2 or 3 of these missiles in place of every AMRAAM and having (for the SACM) BVR capabilities.

Raytheon has been awarded a $14 million Air Force contract for research and development intended to improve the military’s state-of-the-art air-launched, tactical missiles.
Under the agreement, which was announced Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Defense, Raytheon will attempt to improve upon...

What a stupid idea. The concept of miniaturizing air to air missiles is retarded after a certain point. Next thing you know, they'll be reengineering Zuni rockets into guided missiles.

I'm conflicted about this. On the one hand, I'm glad that Lockmart lost. On the other, I'm sad that CUDA won't be a thing. I hope whatever Raytheon comes up with is as neat as CUDA.
Why do militaries still issue handguns, when their role is primarily to serve as a back up for a primary arm?
Why not just arm troops with a PDW similar to a PLR-16 with a wire stock?
>takes the same mags, and ammo as primary
>substantially more powerful than a conventional handgun
>when engineered from the ground up, partially parts compatible
Even though the size is a bit larger than a conventional handgun, it's still compact enough to be handy. Weight...

Not too much larger than a normal handgun, especially with a flush 10 round magazine.

Detect, target and kill enemies in any direction.
So, for the past few months The Islamic State and the Taliban have been warring against each other in East-Afghanistan. They've officially declared war on each other. Can ISIS actually pose a threat to the Taliban though? They're mainly contained in Syria and Iraq, and not just because they're literally surrounded on all sides by sworn enemies (many if not most of which are other extremist groups, it would be ironic if ISIS didn't literally declare war on the whole world, including other terrorists).
Not only do The Taliban have the home advantage,...

I wonder if deadliest warrior will cover this one
>>28650978
My thoughts exactly. You know they don't give a shit about civilian casualties (actually, they do. They give all the shits, because they think that they're doing a good thing when they kill innocent civilians).
Let's have a HANDGUN caliber thread discussion (note - I said discussion, not argument) about the pros and cons vs each other?
Let's first concede that
>10 millimemer is hard to beat, but is still a meme round
>.40 is shit
Lets not
All handguns are underpowered and the real world differences are negligible.
There are many instances of crackheads getting shot in the head with every single caliber and still cracking out
.22lr fired from handguns by far still holds the record for most non military related deaths.

>.22lr fired from handguns by far still holds the record for most non military related deaths.
Due to the sheer number of shots made and the proliferation of the round.
Is such a thing even doable? Would there be any advantages?
I have a few 12 gauge and a 410 shotgun that are bolt action. they're alright. Can't remember what they're called, dad owned them.
>>28650232
The action could possibly be built to more retard-proof standards, might allow for custom shells to be loaded easier?
Aside from that, not much really. Pump action shotguns are already built like a brick shithouse and a decent mossy or remmy can eat anything you put in it.
Sure. They used to be common as mud. Nowdays they're more a niche thing.

Hey guys. So I'm in the navy, and I'm thinking about getting a hand tattoo.
I asked my command and they said I can't do it. But I looked through the tattoo regs and it says nothing about having a hand tattoo.
If anyone can shed some light on this, I'd appreciate it.
>>28649707
>I asked my command and they said I can't do it.
there's your answer unless you want a pay drop
>>28649707
I've spoken to recruiters and I have to get my fingers tattoos removed before I join. I'm gonna guess if your command says don't, then don't. How hard is that?
Shouldn't get tattoos anyways.

Thoughts on Ruger's new entry level AR?
>>28649068
It works.
>>28649145
Is it of any quality?
>>28649193
Yes they are 100% perfect and the best gun ever. You should buy two or three. Maybe more.
Source: work for Ruger. Don't believe a word I say.
But seriously they're fine just buy it and shoot it and get aftermarket stuff for anything you don't like about it. You're better off buying a less expensive first AR and then swapping parts on it after a while than trying to blindly guess at what you want and buying some sort of Picatinny coffee maker handguard or something.
