ayy
I'd put it towards a 23" vepr in nugget caliber and a set of SVD furniture/PSO scope.
Shit on me if you have to, I have a promise to keep to 8th grade me.
Chinese CH-4B drones in Iraqi service racking up quite some kills under its belt.
First known strike in Ramadi:

Some guy's head apparently gets severed by the explosion of the 2nd strike:

Funny strike; hitting some truck probably loaded with RPGs, going off like firework-rockets:

All for just one million dollars a pop. The laser guided AR-1 missiles cost about a few thousand dollars.
China is growing larger!
>Operated by Iraqis
meh

Let them have their fun with them.
Uncle Sam didnt want to sell them Reapers.
More.
The CH-4B has a SAR radar as well.

Which do you prefer? I'm thinking about picking up a smaller gun for pocket carry. Any recommendations?
>>28605802
If you want to pocket carry you'll need a subcompact .380 at the largest, unless you're a fattie or a sperg.
>>28605809
I'm not opposed to waist carry. I just don't wanna have to go get larger pants to accommodate a holster. Also worried about it being uncomfortable.
>>28605851
Unless you have gigantic pockets or one of those tiny ruger .380's pocket carry isn't going to be convenient. I carry a j frame or a glock 43 in a coat pocket from time to time but never in pants pockets.
So I've been running sims with CMANO (anyone who just dismisses this as "hurr durr just a vidyagame is an idiot), running 4 F-35B's against 4 Rafale C's. The setup is both flights starting way out of range of each other, set to perform an AAW patrol within a box over the Baltic Sea. Perfectly parallel setup. F-35B's have internal only standard-CAP loadout (4 AIM-120D's), and the Rafale's have a standard CAP loadout of 2 Meteors, 2 MICA EM, and 2 MICA IR.
The F-35 has a consistent advantage. The Rafale has superior radar range, but it's only nominal. The stealth of the F-35B means that the Rafale's will only detect the F-35 from much closer than the F-35 can detect the Rafale's. Missile performance seems about equal, with the Meteor and AMRAAM both performing well.
Some recent results of this test:
F-35's and Rafale's both end up head-on in their patrols. F-35's detect Rafale's first, launch salvos of missiles, Rafale's only detect missiles at the last minute, begin evasive maneuvering, and maybe 2/4 will be destroyed. Second salvo of AMRAAMS is now on its way and the Rafale's are lucky to get off any missiles if they even have detected the F-35's.
Result: 4 dead Rafale's, 0-1 dead F-35's.
F-35's patrol takes them in a path where their radars are directed away from the Rafale's. Rafale's get the drop on the F-35's, detect them, launch Meteors. Usually 2 of the F-35's will be destroyed. F-35's will usually detect the Rafale's by this point as they are being locked by the Rafale's radar. They'll usually get a couple missiles off in response.
Result: 4 destroyed F-35's, 2 destroyed Rafale's.
One fun instant was where it was down to two F-35's with only gun ammo left, and 1-2 Rafale's. The rafale shot down one of the F-35's on a head-on gun pass, and then got into a turning fight with the remaining F-35. The F-35 ended up getting the kill shot.
Just some fun food for thought. If you've never tried Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations, I'd highly recommend it.
>>28605221
Are you that same faggot who stacked CMANO games in the favor if the chinks to say that CBGs are basically useless against the chinks?
>>28605253
no.
I'm pretty sure this setup isn't stacked either way. I was impressed by how well the Rafale performed, but like suspected, it came down to detection, and in that, the F-35 had the advantage. Also, what I found interesting was that if the F-35 detected a Rafale, it almost immediately identified it and got a missile lock and fired. With the Rafale, it would detect something, and then it would take a bit more to get a lock.
OP, you know just as well as I do that this experiment literally has zero value in terms of accuracy. F35 is a meme.
Looks like Lena Miculek bailed from S&W after the recent controversy with them. Do you think based Jerry will follow?
>>28604587
At first glance I think she's a q t 3.14...
...But then I totally see her dad in her face and I just couldn't do it.
>no magazine in the gat
I'd put my Sig in her Sauer.
So /k/, how do I respond to anti-gunners asking if I think we should have nukes?
While I don't think anyone should have them, even governments, if I say that I'll just look like a hypocrit
A weapon of mass destruction is not a firearm.
Aswell a person has to be behind the firearm to actually operate it at all times, unlike some sort of warhead.
>>28604353
It's not hypocritical there is a huge difference between salt rifles and nukes its comparing a shovel to bagger288

I mean shit dude this ain't that hard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipment_of_the_Swedish_Army
Why the hell is Swedish army so downtrodden? Are you totally relying Finland for defence?
I mean your "artillery" for example is formed by 24 Archer SPG:s and Mortars. What a joke.
Throwing rocks would probably be more efficient than that, no way would that be enough in a serious military conflict. That's what you get when you let leftist and feminists take care of your government, foreign policy and defense.
Get a grip Sweden!
>>28604168
Voting SD, or Sweden Democrats to power would probably be the best thing you could do to remedy the situation imo.
>>28604168
"Sweden will fight down to the last Finn!"

so it seems
what do you guys at /k/ think about the swedish main battle tank strv122 (otherwise known as the leopard 2a5)
Well... I might say that it is a tank?
>>28603596
The leo is a good tank but i know shit about the sweidish extras...
>>28603669
they are basically modified with newer equipment such as radios and targeting and more suited for the swedish terrain
what are k approved knife retailers? where do you guys get the best bargains on knifes online?
is this a legit site:
http://www.smkw.com/
>>28603174
Blade HQ and Knife Center have some of the best selection.
Cutlery Shoppe has the best prices I've seen though.
There's ton of legit places online, more than I can remember to list. Find a model you like then shop around for the best deal. Never bought from SMKW, but you can probably find something about them if you do a quick Google search of BladeForums.
>>28603206
thanks im liking this blade HQ site
>>28603174
Thanks fur turning me onto microtech knives /k/, gonna cop one they look nice.
Always had buck or gerber, was planning on getting a benchmade but this looks way nicer.
Give me one reason why I shouldn't order this massive son of a bitch

Personally, I find it to look silly
Plenty of good gear out there that isn't military-esque

>$650 for a bag
might as well paint a bullseye on your back when shtf because you are a target

I just bought it, holy shit.
what have I done that was supposed to me my glove money.
Go fuck yourself anon.
Why are fully automatic and selective fire weapons banned in the U.S.?
Commies.
Because feelings.
Because Clyde Barrow had his fun and then ruined it for everyone else
Could USA have defeated Germany if USSR was not involved?
Would USA be willing to invade occupied Europe if USSR was not already steaming toward Berlin?
With Germany not occupied in the East, where could USA invade?
Would stratetic bombing even be viable in such case? (lossess due to LW not being tier in the East)
Could USA endure the casualties and protracted war it would face without Russian involvement?
>>28602961
Yes, Germany had no navy to speak of, and outside of the fevered dreams of madmen no serious long range heavy bombing capability. They would have probably still landed in France while pushing up through Italy. Germany would have held out longer, perhaps, but American and British war tech caught up with German tech fast.
>>28602961
>Could USA have defeated Germany if USSR was not involved?
Probably. They had much better strategic planning and they would have held the initiative in the Atlantic, unless the UK outright surrendered and emulated Vichy France.
If the UK got steamrolled in some hypothetical, I think it's unlikely they would have gone to the effort, and especially not before beating Japan. I think it's more likely that Germany and America would have carved out their empires on opposite sides of the world and we'd have lived in a US vs. Nazi Germany cold war.
>>28602961
No. In fact neither the US or USSR would have been able to take Germany without the ALL the other players involved working together.
Even with the ENTIRE world against them, at almost any point in the war victory could have gone to the Germans.
The US cutting supplies off from Africs made it possible for USSR to wear down the Nazis. The bloody battles against the USSR stole Russian troops from the eastern front and the battle of Britian erroded German air support for the rest of the war.
The Allies were VERY CLOSE to giving up at several points in the war.
Has /k/ ever had this happen to them?
>today at noguns friend's house
>his other noguns friends are there when I get there
>friend knows I own guns and he doesn't say anything, but I know he's anti-gun from some comments he's made in the past
>30 minutes in
>Sitting around his living room chilling and talking about shit
>All of a sudden I hear "Hey you know anon here has a whole pile of guns in his house! We could take over the state capital ha ha"
>A few laughs at his joke but then the room goes silent
>Everyone casts their eyes away from me
>Gtfo of there half an hour later
Jesus that was garbage. Why the fuck do people do shit like that?
Not a story but my best friend and his family are British. Long story short, he was anti as fuck and I converted him. He loves sigs, and bought a P229R years ago when he lived with his folks. When he decided to tell them about it and show them how it was safe, they spent the next few weeks saying shit like, "don't piss Mike off, he'll start shooting!"
Goddamn britcucks.
>>28602772
It's because your friends are faggots, anon
>>28602772
>...So do you guys wana do it? I can take you out shooting next week in preparation.
>Shit, that sounds fun.
You have 3 seconds to look, which one is real and which one is fake?

GUN! GUN! GUN! SHOOT FIRST LET THE CORONER SORT THEM OUT
What are /k/-based things that just appeals to your sense of aesthetics? Doesn't really matter if its practical or not.
For me, I really enjoy solid colored uniforms and equipment. Multicam and OCP uniforms look sexy as fuck, but olive-drab or dark-brown with contrasting equipment looks fucking great.
Ranger green does things to my boner.
we talking gear or weapons or both?
because this L96 couldn't look more badass
>>28602286
Yes. Gorkas are absolutely God teir, good ones are almost completely wind proof, and repel water for alot longer, combined with modern Ratnik gear like a 6b43 ballistic vest or the upgraded 6b45, or the rare 6b46 Ratnik BZN plate carrier, apparently a prototype, digital flora with khaki and brown gorka contrasts perfect for almost every environment, and even works in the winter, using Ratnik winter layering system with inclement weather clothing and extreme cold weather clothing is far ahead of America in terms of inclement weather gear, amazing gear I highly recommend you snatch up as much Ratnik or Tehinkom gear you can, remember they absolutely do not sell to civilians, Tehinkom is contracted exclusively by the FSB, VDV, and mainly alpha group
