What is the ugliest tank?
My vote goes to this one. Gunner FCS looks like shit.
>>28617125
Armata is pretty fucking ugly, tbqh fampai.
WWII Shermans, brit tanks.
Russian KV-2
Why hasn't the M2 been replaced?
There's been two replacement programs that highlighted the shortcomings of the design, but both times nothing was adopted because the new US designs were shit (either low fire rate or reliability issues).
Countries like Russia have replaced their M2 equivalents twice and now field HMGs that are more reliable, half the weight, much cheaper and have low enough recoil that they are deployed at GPMGs.
I am aware that the US has recently started a modification program that will reduce weight and add a QCB, but it's still much heavier, more complicated and less adaptable than competing designs.
So, tl;dr: When will the US be able to field a worthwhile replacement for the M2?
Are they unable to design anything better, or are they just trying to hold on to their memories?

Slavboo: the post.
>>28616224
it just werks. also it's seen a few small changes as of recent in design they just aren't major
>>28616224
>Are they unable to design anything better
Pretty much, the M2 is literally the pinnacle of HMG designs for our time
People don't realize how advanced Browning was, but he designed striker fired pistols at least half a century before anyone else considered it
How /k/ friendly is Utah? Is it in danger of being stripped of all gun rights in the next few years like the Pacific Northwest ?
Where in Utah should a virile young man move ?

>How /k/ friendly is Utah?
Extremely.
>Is it in danger of being stripped of all gun rights in the next few years like the Pacific Northwest ?
No.

In or around Park City, if you want to bang drunk sluts.

When will this shit die? Oh Boohoo, I can't draw my American and rack the slide off my car mirror, ass of my dog, and edge of the beauty parlor table.
let's be honest, MAC didn't like it because Bill Ruger just isn't a very semetic name.

He shot an insurgent carrying a fucking RPG. he is being harassed for not issuing a warning. Armed police being harassed for fully justified shooting is common occurrence in your country for armed police officers. I'm assuming your bongistani due to your inability to read.

From previous thread: Anyone know much about PJ selection? There's a lot of info out there on the 18 series but I can't find much about PJ. I'm know what my PT goals are before I enlist, anything specific I should be preparing for mentally? Books to read? Mental skills to develop like land nav?
I want to join the muhreens to shoot sandpeople and enjoy the thrill of almost becoming a wounded warriors member for life.
I want to shoot things innadesert, but it's peacetime and realistically I'm going to go to some boring college for some boring job in the lame medical field wasting my life away at the range.
Help me decide my future fellow degenerates
Would you guys be up for a SHTF create your own adventure thread?
I'd try to keep things really simple. No dice rolling or anything for combat. Just common sense. If you go against five armed men with only the spirit of Rhodesia at your back you won't make it out alive.
Otherwise in most blocks I'd give you guys 3+ choices, sometimes add on a custom choice. Majority vote for most instances.
Anyone interested?
>>28612444
Oops I tripsed.
Thought you guys would have been more interested in this.

I want to hear all of your potato cannon stories /k/
>>28612443
I fired the potato successfully.
The breech was also launched backwards.
RECOILLESS!
They're fun. Load some paintballs into a small one and shotgun things. The idea of it exploding is not fun.
