The crew of a U.S. Navy ship stopped a massive Iranian arms shipment dead in its tracks, seizing thousands of weapons, AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenade launchers that likely were headed to Yemen, the Pentagon announced Monday.
The seizure, which unfolded in the Arabian Sea on March 28, was the third of its kind in recent weeks, military officials say. Iran has been supporting Houthi rebels in Yemen in their proxy war against a Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States. Like Iran, the Houthis are a Shia-led group.Comment too long.

proxy wars are truly the future

Those weapons are going for a swim.

only on paper.
in reality, they are going to the CIA. Which will then give them to some other rebel group in an other conflict.

What is the role of the ghillie sniper in modern warfare?
>>29503206
Sniping
360 noscope hipfire headshots, the enemy will be too impressed to even try and return fire
He shoots the mans.
What made 12 gauge the dominant bore size? Why is it so common accepted, and why are 20 gauge and .410 the only others to really get any recognition? I remember 16 gauge being up there for a bit but fading into obscurity.
Why don't larger bores get any attention? I know 10 gauge is used by a few hunters but it's pretty rare, and what about things like 8 gauge or 4 gauges?
You'd think people would eat those ridiculously large rounds up like they do whenever pistols or rifles come out in fuckhuge calibers.

So sick of old-ass guns. Why can't we have an old ass-guns thread!?
Well lookee here. Mint-condition. Never been fired by the looks of it.
Anybody do anything fun this weekend, or have anything planned? Just got home last night from a weekend of shooting/camping/drinking/being innawoods with a buddy of mine, was curious how many other /k/omrades are getting up to the same.

Otherwise I don't know. I can't really leave the house besides follow-up appointments for the next month.

I just turned 18, my parents are only just warming up to firearms in the house after they bought me my first rifle (Browning T-Bolt) for graduating high school nearly 2 years early.
Barely a year later, I get run over by a drunk driver when walking home from the gym. I nearly get paralyzed, back and legs are all fucked up, and it's only been this last month that I've been able to actually go out and see the world after constant surgeries and physical therapy.
This morning I slipped in the...

Why is such a shit gun the standard on the police force?
Because muh glawk fortay
>>29502815
How is it shit you fucking mental midget?
Its incredibly reliable and the standard by which all other handguns are judged and one of the reasons its so widely used by police and now special forces and militaries.
with the exception of the early 40 cal glocks, they are fine. lots of people blow up their glocks with shit ammo or over pressured loads, hence the glock grenade maymay.
Title says it all, which Glock for concealed carry? I already own a 19 Gen4, so the two I'm looking at are the 26 Gen4 and the 43.
Pic unrelated.
>>29502715
Glock 19 or 23
26 too short so get that and an extension grip
40 with light and micro you silly fag

Good entertainment. If I wanted historical/technical info I'd watch something else.
Is Minas Tirith the ultimate known fortress(fortified city) design?
I think in our history, Byzantium is the closest. Maybe even better because it has sea access.
Yea it's in the realm of fantasy but realistically these civilisations had millennia to prepare for a war they knew was coming because wizards wouldn't get off their back so it's not far out of question.
Also, LOTR general thread.
Barad Dur also.
Look at this, fans... it looks like the design from the second age survived until the third age and was incorporated into the 3rd age tower.
See the towers beneath the rocks and below the main tower? Rather rounded and normal looking structures with crennelations instead of iron crowns. Those would have been built back when Sauron was pretending to be a friend of elves and man. Who knows what the rest of the fortress and the main tower would have looked like in the second age.. the story is the tower was destroyed, but obviously according to the...

>Is Minas Tirith the ultimate known fortress(fortified city) design?
couldn't an army just go up the mountain behind it and dump bombs and rocks and arrows and orcs and shit on the city?
Any VirginiaFags here, where do you shoot?
>inb4 range
Not interested in a designated range, they're all far away from me. I wanna know where you fags plink when you're not at a range.
>pic sorta related, it's a Chink SKS with a timbersmith stock and an AK
Is that not a norinco model b?

If you're far away from any designated ranges then you're probably not in any big city.
It's not rocket science, man.
