Any TACPs or ALO (Air Liaison Officers) in here? I am interested in becoming an ALO but I havent done AFROTC. Are there OTS slots for ALOs? As in can you apply as a civilian then become an ALO? What is the life of an ALO like? I here they dont get to fight and see action as much as the enlisted TACPs.. bumping with pics.

All /k/ Fudds unite
Fuck off.
Well that's all we need....
>>29469456
Is a Tikka T3 considered fudd?
I have looked for info on a translator MOS, but i gotta know, what branch would be the best, how likely are you to be deployed overeas, the training process, what languages would you have to learn and all that
I also speak gucci french and will probs be fluent or pretty near fluent by the time I enlist
>>29469391
We just hired a fucking local.
Didn't even know it was an MOS.
French is almost worthless and it wouldn't even matter if you were currently fluent. When you reach Defense Language Institute the Army/USMC basically checks whatever language is needed at that moment and what language classes have free spots. I had a friend who has almost fluent in Russian and when he showed up at DLI they went "Thats cute but we need Arabic Translators enjoy learning Arabic".

idk it exists and theres a school for it in California, do you know of any home grown ones?
Let's get a list going of some guns, typically used by FUDDS, that are given a modern "black gun" update to taint their beloved blued-steel, engraved-wood go-to gats.
Pictured here is a Mossberg 464 Lever-Action with a telescopic stock and RIS rails.
Let's see some more funs that would make the "you don't need nine millimeter to hunt" crowd!
>>29469331
Let's not.
>>29469331
If they only made that gun in 357 mag, 44mag or 45-70, hell even 22lr or 22mag
30-30, what a fucking waste of a good idea
Does this count?
Help bro's!
I need info on this knife.
>>29469252
Can confirm,
It's a knife.
>T. A knife expert.
>>29469308
Thank you, my idea was to find out in which country they were made Turkish, Russian or someone else?
Bump for knowledge
So which is the better round?
5.56x45 or 5.45x45?
7.62x51 or 7.62x39?
>>29469198
7.62x45
Which is better, a wider bullet or a narrow bullet?
Which is better, a faster bullet or a slower bullet?
Weak bait.
7.62x39 and 7.62x51are completely incomparable, as they are used for different purposes. It's like trying to compare sharks and lions asking which one is the better predator.
I've heard it said that Izumo can't handle F-35Bs but could they use a STOVL drone if one were to be made for carrier operations?
They could in theory operate both.
They will not operate the former.
There's a question about muh melting deck with F35B, they'd suffer limitations because no >ramp and likely dozens of support/maintenance issues that would need to be addressed first.
And yeah, there's a good number of fixed wing drones that can be launched on the back of DDs and FGs.

When you look at it, them japanese destroyer isn't that much smaller than nimitz class (and it's a conventional CODAG propulsion instead of a nuclear ones)
Is this the biggest flat top ship outside of the nimitz class?
Hey y'all I'm new to ARs, quick question.
I was out firing a few days ago for the first time, and the first 15 or so rounds were fine, but then it started to stick. Like I'd pull the trigger and it sounded like there was incomplete movement, like something was sticking.
Then I pulled the trigger and the round didn't fire at all. it had a small indent but didnt go anywhere.
I broke it all down and cleaned and lubed the fuck out of it, but i'm a bit worried because I've never had a gun not work on me before.
BTW I'm...

>its the weekend
>/k/ still dead
ok then
>>29468977
last try
to clarify my question, what caused it not to fire?"
It was a light primer strike.
What brand/model AR do you have? And if you built it give us a basic parts list. On second thought if you built it we wouldn't really be having this thread.
Who would win?
5000 renault ft tanks or one m1 abrams tank?
The fight takes place in a field several kilometers long.
I think it would actually be a stalemate
wtf you fucking faggot
sage, fuck you
Renaults for sure. 5000 renoults would prob win fight againts a sun.
I was looking into getting my first bolt action rifle and I had my eyes on pic related, any other suggestions /k/?
Expect to pay $2-300 for a moist nugget these days, and you could probably get a Mauser instead at that price range.
However if you enjoy the history of the Mosin then by all means get one.
>>29468721
Thanks /K/ommando I will look at some Mausers, but I might still go for the nugget
>>29468745
What are you looking to do with said rifle?
Post cute derringers.
>>29468604
these are the worst, most pointless firearms ever conceived.
>>29468616
What, you don't like tiny cute pistols? They weren't that much worse than common larger pistols at the time.
>>29468604
Why are theses weapons so ugly? It's just did they do a random sketch when the guy making the gun was like whats it gonna look like?
>>29468652
This looks somewhat acceptable.
Has anyone else noticed that gun are no longer something only pasty faces crusty old men are into
>be me 6 years ago
>go to gun show
>was the only non white non old guy walking around

No, you're just stupid.
I live in the south SF bay area and I see thus a lot. Many of them are engineers. You'd be surprised how many of the Apple and Google people are way into guns. They love tinkering. Ars are popular.
You should see em in the gun stores. They buy LWRCs, LMTs and DDs like nothing. Loads of money. The dealers can't keep S&W TRR8s in stock ever since CSGO added them.

>You'd be surprised how many of the Apple and Google people are way into guns
pretty common thing for tech guys to be into guns. i dont think ive met an tech guy yet that wasnt huge into guns. i will say, hanging out here ive learned a FUCKLOAD and its nice to be able to out knowledge these computer nerds in something.
Looking for a new molle capable bugout bag.
The stitching on the chest strap of my 50 dollar Midway USA bag ripped and I'm looking for a better one.
Is the 5.11 Tactical Rush pack worth $90?
Can anyone recommend a more cost-effective bugout bag?
>post your packs
>shitpost
>patronize others on their gear
>>29468403
Got my 5.11 24hour backpack a year ago, Love it, holds 50pounds of books (muh college) and still fun to ruck with it at night with weights in it, strong everywhere would recommend
>>29468403
>50 dollar Midway USA bag
There's your problem. You're buying this heavy poorly made tactifool shit. Really, get something from Kelty, Osprey, Deuter, or Lowe Alpine. They have internal frame, hold up for years of use, are lightweight, and they don't stick out.
Rather than a bug out bag I suggest a bug out bicycle or motorcycle. Though it all depends on what your goal is.
Why does anyone like these overrated memeguns?
>OMG D00D IT'S DA BEST AK VARRIENT
>has zero experience with them
>muh cancer animays :DDD so u know its good :DDD
>fugg le spurdo sparde :DDDD
The only time someone here has hands on experience with these things is being a fuck fuck conscript in the finnish army when they were 18 and nothing more.
It's just as bad as the rabid svd and vss fanboyism
>>29468313
As a Finn I agree. They are overengineered, soulless and boring. Also not practical at all to mount optics.
Lmao @ at everyone who owns a Sako as reservist rifle instead of Arsenal, Saiga, etc for 1/3 or even 1/4 for the price. Even traitor 5.56 AR15 owners are better.
Finnish small arms production is sold overseas and dead. Galil > ValMet/Sako
Also get the fuck out of this board Finns or don't namedrop Finland every fucking second.
If you own firearms then OK, but don't spout...
