Wonder why I'm in a shitty remake of a shitty 80s movie.

So I need a cheap home defense pistol. Powerful people have been making threats against my life and that of my sisters.
I need a way to defend myself against a hired hitman for less than 600 and preferably less than 400 in commieforn.
>less than 600 and preferably less than 400
>hitmen are after us, but I also want to put some money towards visiting Mall of America

Hi-point for 200 shekels
HiPoint if you wanna be as cheap as possible.
How come Euros are so shit at at?
Can it really be as simple as underfunding and overreliance on the U.S.?
Are developments like pic related turning things around?
Tactical airlift maybe. You aren't really increasing your strategic airlift capabilities with a few A400's. The US is far, far beyond the rest of the world in terms of airlift capabilities. Europe has good platforms..the A400 is great. However, they lack the numbers and strategic hubs. Which is why when a lot of European militarys often need the US to help airlift them into combat zones.

>Which is why when a lot of European militarys often need the US to help airlift them into combat zones.
And the Russians, they did alot of the lifting for France in Mali.
Most European military forces are focused on homeland defense and don't have strategic interests in being able to deploy forces across continents.
First time in /k/, long time /int/ poster
I need some help from you guys.
My new job requires me to get a sidearm. Personally I want to get a .40, but the job only allows .38 revolvers (no) or 9mm semi-autos.
While there are ammo and caliber restrictions, the manufacturer is at my discretion.
Right now I'm looking at Glock, S&W, and Berretta
>Glock
Never had one, hear great things, I know law enforcement mostly use the .40 model. How is the 9mm?
>Smith & Wesson
I have had a S&W .22lr pistol since I was a kid. It's a great little gun, no idea how good the larger, newer, models are
>Baretta
I used them in the coast guard years ago, while it gets familiarity points, I was never very impressed with it, but maybe that was bulk military contract production runs. Are over the counter Barettas good quality?
So, /k/ help me out, Baretta, Glock, S&W, or another 9mm you can point me towards. Obviously I don't need an engraved, artisan crafted, one-of-a kind, gilded, collector's handgun, but within reason, cost isn't really a big concern.

Anyone have experience about life on a boat?
/k/ I'm a non-gun owner, but I'm thinking of buying something neat to bring along for a gag on spring break. What's the perfect intersection of cheap, wild-west-y, and effective against bootleggers for 'self-defense'?
>something neat to bring along for a gag on spring break
wot
>>28560187
A bowie knife
Please don't give us gun owners a worse rep by being retarded and pulling out one.
>lol its just a gag
Yeah... The cops wont think so when they shoot you.

Is graphene the next bulletproof material?
>>28559834
Sure, its promised to everything else useful 3000% better than everything available now.
It'll just be a few... years before any of graphene's uses make it to industrial or commercial use. Then just a few years after that it'll be affordable for normal people to buy.
So by 2047 you'll start seeing graphene available to the public.
>>28559834
You could theoretically make a graphene vest lighter than any bullet resistant armor now available that could stop a .50BMG like a meter-thick steel plate.
But it could easily cost millions of dollars to make it.
>>28560180
>that could stop a .50BMG like a meter-thick steel plate.
Yeah, but even then it wouldn't stop the concussion from killing you :D
Is it more prestigious to be an elite operator like Delta or more prestigious to be a spook like this guy? Spooks seem to inspire more fear and mystery than even the most elite military soldiers.
>>28559773
Spooks.
SOF members of recent times have degenerated into nothing but attention whores. I wouldn't work in an environment where my coworker could decide to write a book after retiring and put my identity at risk.
They all seem to be on the same level. Pic related, all on the same level.

Why is there so much dislike for ringknockers on /k/ and other Internet boards?
Jealousy.
>>28559693
because most of them are dumb as fuck fresh out of the academy and those are the ones the enlisted usually deal with.
>>28560567
oh and the important part: they're dumb as fuck and they're in charge of you. if they were dumb but enlisted then they aren't as hard to deal with.

AK
I think about it, but realistically I wouldn't shoot it very much.
>>28559417
You don't give a shit about fals and Mausers. Are you some kind of fudd? What are you interested kiddo.
>>28559417
For me, it's the majority of polymer framed strikers. I just don't get excited about them anymore, and they've gotten boring for me. There's nothing wrong with them, but I personally would rather have other things

Also, it's fine if you want to use Chinese radios but for the love of Christ put a non-Chink antenna on them. You'll be surprised at the difference a Diamond makes.

>>28559185
I actually kind of understand the point of that drill.
She's clearly terrified of guns and the concept of defending herself, so it's just a drill to try and get her fight response to overcome her flight response. That's why he's got her holding the gun down so that she sees the "attacker" rather than the sights. It's so she thinks "I can run headfirst into danger! I don't need to cower in fear!"
It's the same idea as those "women's self defense courses" where they just teach them to scream and kick the guy in the nuts. It's not going to work in an actual fight, but it's aimed at giving them the fighting mindset.
