that plate carrier looks fucking disgusting
>>30222619
Are those plate carriers for children or something?
They look really small compared to other ones I've seen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Sydney_hostage_crisis
Sometime last year in Australia, we had a hostage situation, and in the ensuing firefight one of the hostage was killed by a stray bullet or ricochet, apparently because police were using 5.56. I this king of situation, would they be better served using slower heavier rounds, like .45, or 300 Blackout? Aren't there also lots of /k/mmandos who recommend short barrel carbines in 5.56 for HD, aren't you also worried about over penetration?
Tasty.
>>30221778
5.56 penetrates less drywall than pistols.
All in all it wouldn't have mattered, a .45 or .300 blk would penetrate a single wall in still be lethal as well.
>>30221899
Considering .45 is about 3 times slower then 5.56 (according to Wikipedia), wouldn't you get less ricocheting from .45? Also couldn't you use full lead bullets to encourage squashing rather then bouncing, since the bad guy probably wasn't wearing a est?
Alright /k/ we have an emergency. Im 23, and want to join the muhreens. I met a recruiter, and on my day off I went and met up with him and his poolees, a bunch of high school kids joining. I out did about half of them physically, and the recruiters were impressed by that as well as my 90 asvab. Here's the problem, they said I'd be medically disqualified due to a varicose vein in my left testicle, they then told me to lie on the paperwork.
My vein is very noticeable, if I lie I'm sure it will get found at meps and am worried. Wtf do I do.
>>30221304
If you really want to do this, the best bet is to play dumb. If the doc at MEPS asks you, you don't know, but if he looks and you and finds it, then you know, and you can try to get it wavered.
Otherwise, I'd just start trying to get it wavered now. With something like that it isn't a big deal, but if you hide the fact that you had surgeries, big injuries, etc and lie about it, and you're caught later, you can get hemmed up in some bullshit especially if you put in for a security clearance.
Die

Hello /k/
Went to my lgs today and they had a type 99 on the rack for 275 USD. Bore looked good, crown looked good, action was solid. Chrysanthemum was removed. Stock has beat up but no More than I'd expect for old milsurp. My only concern was a Crack up near the muzzle on the handguard that had been glued. It felt solid but obviously that's a point of concern. I was thinking about buying it but I hear that ammo is expensive and hard to come by.
Also general Japanese WW2 Thread
Or anyone with a Japanese milsurp please weigh in
>>30219754
Ammo is indeed expensive. That's a fair price for the rifle, based on the condition you've stated. The wood should be fine, though obviously the crack and subsequent repair aren't ideal.
>>30219754
Type 99 and 38, and Nambu 14 and 94 owner here.
You have to buy japsurp with the collecting mindset. Honestly, if you've shot one dubya two bolt action, you've shot them all. Yeah the action might be same, but they're all 30 cal bullets with a 50-55ishmm case and they're all going to feel the same once you pull the trigger.
The difference is in how the actions work, so with that in mind it's not a bad idea to buy an arisaka with the sole intent of just finger fucking it.
If you really want, you could spend over a buck a round once just to say you shot it, but I wouldn't head into japshit with the intention of shooting it honestly.
I bought the 99 and 38 for $90 each last year, because my Cabelas didn't know what the fuck they were other than that the barrels were shrekt and both the stocks were snapped in half and reglued (I guess a GI broke them to smuggle them easier). They're also totally not in shootable condition, but I'm getting all I want and that its to just look at them and work that bolt every so often. I even took the followers out of them.
You could reload for them, if you really wanted, but for the same time and cost you could reload for something more accurate or more fun to shoot, but to each his own.
Jap pistols are even harder to feed, but same principle.
tl;dr buy it if you would still be happy if it was a wall hanger.
Will science ever come up with gunpowder that doesn't leave a black powder residue? I'm tired of trying to get my AR-15 white glove clean.
>>30218834
Then don't get it white glove clean. It doesn't need to be that clean.
>>30218834
If you want a gun that's easy to get white glove clean, get something besides an AR.

Best SMG of WW2 along with the finnish KP31;

Yeah, nah. By WW2 Soumi was thompson tier outdated
While the KP31 has perhaps the best subgun drums ever made, the gun itself is hopelessly heavy for what it is.
Thanks for tuning in, to another video on Forgotten Weapons.comâ„¢.
I'm Ian, I'm here today at the Rock Island Auction Companyâ„¢, taking look at some of the guns that they're going to be selling in their " insert date â„¢" regional auction.
And let's take a look at " insert obscure 1870 gun with no ammo available in 2016 â„¢ "
>repete this infinite for 5 years as an intro.
>profit???
>it's a ian use a 1801 powder rifle on a match, while everyone else use AR.

>Well I hope you enjoyed another episode of ForgottenWeapons(R), as always, this is an auction house and this is for sale in the [insert calendar month season and year] premiere auction.

Goodness me, it's almost as if Ian has found a way to support his interest and youtube channel by leveraging his expertise in firearms history and viewership to secure access to the inventory of a business which regularly cycles through a wide variety of unique and interesting firearms in exchange for a few lines of dialogue crediting the business for its role making the videos in question possible.

Is $300 a good price for an IBA?
Guy also wants $200 extra for the armor piercing inserts
>>30241124
That is such a piece of shit vest uncomfortablr and restricts movement. Do yourself a favor and just buy a plate carrier and some plates.
>>30241124
no,IBA's are trash for what you are looking for (i assume) you would likely be better off with a PC
I have three IBA's and they suck for operatin, they are good if you have to stand in one place
also a IBA that old should cost like $100 at most.
saged because go google or ebay an iba
>>30241124
For $400, you tread into NEW First Spear stuff.
/k/ I'm looking to get an heirloom gun for future inheritance. Help me pick. Cost isn't a problem, but I don't want to deal with stamps and shit.
ok
>>30238238
thanks for the helpful advice friendo
>>30238228
Gotcha
Who are they ? What do they do ?
What do you think about them ?
Any /k/ommando would like to share their stories with or as MP ?
Nowadays are they paperpushers ?
Post pics, share stories.
>>30238059
Its mostly guard shit, not very fun from what I've seen
Ex-MP here, ask me anythin.
>>30238183
Any decent stories you can tell?
Why is gun culture so fucking white? Where are all the people of color at the range, at the gun shows, on the forums? Colion Noir is literally the NRAs token black.
>>30237674
Colored people have a lot of guns, its just white gun culture is about defending yourself while colored gun culture is about causing massively disproportionate amounts of crime
>>30237674
Because the only gun culture blacks know is GIBSMEDATS and drive-by glawk spray-N-pray
Because whites have a long history of preparing for winters and general bad shit that more southern tribes do not.
It's the standard ant and grasshopper story.
pound for pound, which country has the best military fighters? I think Chechnya
Can't be quantitatively measured, but probably some smaller country whose military is comparatively well funded and whose warfighters are generally cream of the crop warriors.
chechens are resourceful and ferocious as guerillas, but undisciplined and uncontrollable as uniformed soldiers. their only viable application in regular army is shock troops
>>30237319
Chechens don't even perform that well in Syria, which should tell you something considering nobody there performs well.
