What does /k/ think of Australia's new submarines? It seems like the Aussies have really been gearing up lately.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-36136628
>France has won a A$50bn (€34bn; £27bn) contract to build 12 submarines for the Australian Navy, beating bids from Japan and Germany.
does the propeller turn the other way since it's australian? what do they do once they cross the equator? my guess is magnets
>>29751745
>tfw Japan is buttmad their submarines went from top contender to being ruled out.
They're paying 50bn for 12 boats when French documents state that ten billion pays for 6 boats. My assumption is that's because the Aussies are planning to build the boats themselves.
Its funny, you either pay a premium and get blamed for overspending in order to improve your defense industry, or pay less and get called out for not supporting local jobs.

All 12 are being built in Australian shipyards
Where do you place your pouches on your PC.
I have a question about position of a radio pouch. I have three single mag pouches on the front of my PC with two double mag pouches either side of that. My IFAK is on my left side with an Admin panel on my chest. I don't know where to place my radio pouch though, should I bump my right double mag pouch back and slip my radio there?
You don't need seven magazines.
Get rid of your "admin" shit

Do you think dropping the two double mag pouches down to one each?

I'll share a few.
So this first one isn't a "range story" but more a story about one of those bullshitters you occasionally meet. The background is that me and my wife work with a few reptile breeders and a rescue and periodically do the trade shows.

Please help me.
I have been shooting firearms at least once a week for the bast 2 months with ear muffs and I have this weird sound that won't go away in my ears.
It's a volumetric humming seashell sound accompanied by a high pitch 'fluid' sound.
What is going on?

Tinnitus?
>>29782148
Have you never heard of tinnitus, or is this bait/humour? You need to go see an ear doctor and INCREASE YOUR EAR PROTECTION. Wear double protection, in-ear with over-ear on top, ESPECIALLY if you're shooting in-doors.
If this was humour, which it almost certainly was but too drunk, then:

I'm a student at Iowa State we are placed in the little town of Ames.
Our town rarely has crime, so it was a shock to everyone when last Thursday, 5 black males robbed an apartment of a college student. The report said one man had a rifle, and they stole cellphones and cash.
They never found the guys, and this was severely disappointing. These monkeys had successfully committed a crime. YET they told everybody we had nothing to worry about and it was an ISOLATED incident.
I had notified the school that this would not be the case, I have some good experience...

No one likes an nd. An nd could hit yourself or anyone else at the range. And from the picture it looks real enough

I'm not talking about this particular picture. I mean things like cosplayers holding guns that are obviously not real, or at least not loaded.

Hello, /k/. I just turned 21 which means I'm legally allowed to purchase a handgun in the state of Arizona. I was gifted a 1911 at 18 and have kept it around for home defense since, and have only had to use once. I live in a relatively safe area so I'm only looking for something that would need to be used as a one-off. The 1911 is okay, but it just doesn't carry the sheer power that I want to feel when I discharge it.
I won't pretend to know fuckall about guns, so I come to you, a haven of sociopaths and enthusiasts, to ask what you would recommend me....

Lol Fuck revolvers get a 20mm for home defense
>>29780227
This is unhelpful
>>29780180
well, the problem is, if you go high caliber and heavy stopping power, comfort becomes a big issue.
also, with those large caliber wheelguns (44mag, 500mag, etc) things get real pricy real fast.
so how much are you willing to spend and how much are you willing to sacrifice comfort for firepower or vice versa?
