If China is so confident on the ability to sink carriers and crush US fleets with missile spams, then why are they building their own?
If carriers are such shit, why does every country that can afford to build them produce them?
>>28656875
Force projection. China is saying a lot of imperialistic fuck fuck games in the waters around their country claiming a lot of islands that other countries also claim. To make their claims stick they need to be able to project force across large distances, carriers would let them do that.

>carrier in construction
>already a nicely visible plane on it
yeah no, that's satellite bait.
>>28656875
So they can bully weaker nations. For as much hate as the US get's everyone sure wants to be like them.
People on /k/ are capable and willing of defending the F-35 program, but could they do the same for the LCS?
The LCS is a completely fine ship
It's just that its main weapon was canceled, the NLOS missile
And the modularity meme has resulted in ships that don't have any working mission components yet
>>28656380
The LCS would have been fine if they hadn't cancelled all its weapons. Modularity means it might be possible to unfuck it, but the Navy buying a dick load of the things in hope of being allowed to unfuck them later is bad policy.
>>28656380
LCS is way more fucked up program to begin with.
While F-35 represents fairly well proven multi-role fighter concept. LCS is supposed to be combination mine sweeper, coastal corvette and frigate. Way less tested concept with way more conflicting requirements for same machine than fighter-bomber could ever have.
In case of LCS they could have gone for separate minesweeper and frigate with some common systems. Really high speed requirement ruins everything other than littoral operations for that...

What light?
dont mind me
Why can't I buy an AA-12?
Why aren't semi auto civilian models available?
Because the ATF (Agency for Termination of Fun) hates us. Probably some BS about it having no sporting purpose or something.
>>28655927
Very good question , it is a semi-automatic magazine fed shotgun , which is currently a legal item in many states of the US.
It should be built locally and on sale in the US.
>>28655927
Because the guy who invented it dropped it when US mil didn't buy it, I think.

Don't you have snow to play in kid?
What are the best pistol caliber carbines on the market? Is there anything similar to the Skorpion Evo? Are mp5 clones solid?
>>28655058
Best would be the Sig MPX.
It is very similar to the Scorpion Evo.
Some MP5 clones are good, most are shit, all are twice the cost of a Scorpion Evo.
Honorable mention to the Beretta CX4, 8/10 gun that doesn't cost a grand.
>>28655058
Not op but also curious. Any experience with sub 2k? Or is it best to grab a Hi Point
>>28655058
MP5 is king, and now you can get license built ones with good warranties. The Zenith Z-5 series is better than the POF at the moment and comes with 3 mags as well as an optics rail.
It lived.
Is this a case of bows being too weak or the opossum being completely hardcore? If the latter, how do we weaponize them?
>>28654186
This is a case of either an edgy faggot or a young kid that doesn't know any better. Those heads are for target shooting. Even a direct heart shot wouldn't necessarily kill instantly. If hunting or controlling pests you need at least basic fucking broad head arrows or bolts

I actually feel kindof insulted that humanity is dumb enough to waste resources on this vermin.
Opossums are tough as shit. I tried killing one with a shovel but it just walked off

How would you gun him down if guns are banned even for the government in order to protect the public?
Hey /k/,
I'm off to basic training next week, got any MLG tips and tricks for me?
>>28653302
Be the grey man.
Don't question this advice, just do it.
>>28653302
Do what you're told, keep good company, don't SHARP anybody, do extra PT. Where are you going?
Buy the insoles for the issue boots and wear two pairs of socks on the 16k.
Never volunteer for anything, it means absolutely shit when you finish. Never get noticed by the DSs. Stay firmly in the middle for every test / requirement. Shut the fuck up. Don't ever, ever tell stories about "this time in boot" when you get to the fleet. Don't get a stupid tattoo. Don't buy a stupid car on high interest from the terrible dealerships outside the base. Don't marry a local dependapotamus just to get out of barracks.
And lastly, if you can still get out, GET OUT, you idiot. Joining the army in peacetime is your key to four...

Any military pilots here?
I have a pressing question to ask.
I've clocked over 2k flying hours in the PAK FA
Ask me anything
The thing about Navy pilots (and the navy in general) being gay is a complete falsehood.
But someone will reply to this post with some shitpost implying it's not.
>>28653164
Not a pilot, but I work with them.
What's the fastest way to get dry after swimming and stop feeling cold and miserable when you're operating?
>>28652526
Depends, are you in a survival situation or need to keep moving? If you can make shelter and get warm in it that's your best bet. There's videos on winter survival online.
>>28652535
What about when you need to keep moving as fast as possible?
>>28652539
Change into a set of dry clothing you have waterproofed in your bag.
Either that or wear what you've got till it dries out.
Canada just had their own port arthur event, time to get full Australia with sensible gun laws guys!
>>28651728
I thought Canada was insanely cucked with there gun "rights" anyway.
>>28651742
5/10 round limits will be limited to 3 rounds
>>28651728
I want so fucking little, now they're going to ban all the cool shit. Fuck you Canada. I want to move to the land of the free.
Itt:snake oil
>>28650881
I don't really see what is "snake oil" about a side charging AR. There is nothing fraudulent or falsely claimed about what they do. The charging handle has now been moved to the side. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it not a charging handle on the side of the rifle.
Fuck off retard faggot
>>28650881
How is that snake oil? Its not like it leaves a gaping slot for shit to get in.
>>28650881
ITT: I don't know the meanings of words that I use.
Ask someone who just got back from SHOT SHOW 2016 anything.
Got to attend Range Day, and of course the other three days.
>>28649900
When is MSBS coming out and how much?
How was the food, was it provided there, did you have to go out to get it?
Did the Chinese DDI shotgun feel like junk?
Is the victory a 22/45 killer?
What % of the people were women?
Peacetime a shit edition
