How would an operator operate operationally against aliens?
By getting nuked from space.

>>The Queen of England has issued a promise to her subjects that she will invade the United States of America if Donald J. Trump is elected President in November of this year.
>>“Should Mr Trump be elected we will take back America by force and place it once again under colonial rule,” her Majesty said in a statement this morning.
Let's assume this is actually real. How badly would this go for either side? What would the conclusion be?
Assume that the UK takes the first aggressive move by, say, launching sorties against American ships. What happens?
Standard rules apply:
>>No countries on Earth may use nukes
>>If another country intervenes,you must specify why
>>28546391
England gets fucking wrecked, Scotland and N. Ireland are set free. War over in a year at most.
>>28546391
Atlantic fleet would meet RN in the north atlantic, US air force would be patrolling as far out as greenland easily. I think there are still US troops in the UK. We'd know about it before it happened.
UK stahp.
>>28546408
>Scotland and N. Ireland are set free.
They remain part of the UK out of choice. Unwillingly set them free? I'm not sure that's a good idea, given your track record.
When will you yanks learn?
Are these really this expensive?
I bought one a couple years ago from a friend for $650. I had to sell it, now I'm looking to get one for my dad since he liked mine so much.
I've skimmed gunbroker and even the used ones I've seen are near retail. What do?
>>28545495
$1,000 nib isn't too bad for the tactical model.
btw, the fnx45 is $6-700 but the fnx45 tactical is $9-1100.
That's about right for the tactical model.
If you don't need the threaded barrel and shit, just get the FNX

Germany there, shit's slowly getting tough there, so I wanted to buy for me and my gf good pepper spray. I have knife, I have airsoft gun, but shit's useless since police fucks you in the ass even if it was defense.
Which would you recommend? Also stream or fog? How many ml? And so on. Personally heard some good things about Fox Labs pepper sprays, but I don't know much about them in the first place.
Also, any recs for good brass knuckles? Today in Germany you really never know which defense you will need to use.
>>28544452
Depends on what you want
I own one it fits two of my fingers and has points on it, pretty good for cracking ribs
>>28544478
I went to boxing for five years, wanted to start again, but had not enough time.
I'm more worried about my gf, can't really equip her with this shit and really myself won'treally use violence since laws are too strict and you can't touch dem rapefugees. Pepper spray and brass knuckle into jaw or rib is best for me, just an useful pepper spray is good for my gf.
Is coastal artillery still a good thing?
Would they help a relatively small nation defend from an invasion from a bigger and stronger nation?
If not, what kind of things are good for stopping invasions?
If they don't have air cover to protect the coastal guns, they're dog meat against enemy air, and if the defenders have that much air, no one is going to be making any kind of coastal landing. So, no, they're not a thing.
>>28543908
>If not, what kind of things are good for stopping invasions?
Nuclear weapons
Powerful allies
Not having anything worth stealing
A combination of these have led to relative world peace over the last 50 years.
For some reason it still exists but it's pretty pointless in an age where the only way artillery survives is either to be extremely mobile or to have complete air dominance, and the two countries I know of that still field it (Finland and Taiwan) can't hope for air dominance over their nearest threat (Russia and the PRC)
Three Gun Edition.
No, not that three gun.
Since arsenal threads are 99% reposts and dick waving contests, lets narrow it down.
Post your three favorites.

Fuck you.
The year is 2018. You're the captain of an American militia staging an uprising against the government. You're in a deserted urban environment in downtown Austin Texas. There is a tank patrolling the street, it's alone but fully manned. You're going to launch a raid on it. Your mission is to disable, destroy, or capture it taking minimal casualties.
You only have the munitions that you've scavenged from the local gun store and the supplies you've found in the local homes and businesses. What tactics/weapons would you use to surround and neutralize it?
What beats a tank? Could you jam the barrel? Fog up it's sensors? Clog up the exhaust ports? In Saving Private Ryan they constructed a sticky grenade and blew it's treads off. Would this really be effective?
>>28543456
Urban environment, you say?
-Smoke it
-Spray paint its optics
-Clog all vents
ENJOY, FORTUNATO!
>>28543456
2 tanks
>>28543456
Light it on fire, that'd be annoying.
Try making an EFPIED.
The best way to destroy enemy tanks in that scenario is sabotage or denial of fuel to where they are coming from. Or getting the crew to defect.
Fighting abrams with nothing to feasibly knock them out is suicide and would be a waste of time and effort.

How dumb are you?
guns are banned in my country
it is hard to build my owns weapons?
can i make firearms with airsoft guns?
doesn't matter if it's expensive
>>28542483
if you want firearms that badly, move to a not shit country
Building simple firearms is pretty easy, and just about anyone can learn how to do it. You can build a "Luty" SMG if you have some basic tools and are capable of following simple instructions. There are some components which require more specialized tools and real skill (such as rifled barrels), and you need to acquire a good supply of ammunition for your gun.
Anyone who is smarter than average moron can build a "four-winds shotgun".
However, airsoft toys are almost useless in firearm building.

Pat Mac interview on In Range TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFjyYm61nOI
That guy is fucking awesome. I really like how he said "I'm just a civilian now" he seems to have completely avoided the Larry V. and other fucktards blunder of insisting he's THE final word because of his experiences. Seems like an incredibly wise guy.
>>28542284
This is where the quote on the wall is from BTW. Before someone asks.
Also, more Pat MacNamara video.
>Does your range drill include pushing trucks?

No love for Pat? The guy did spoopy shit during the cold war and rappelled out of helicopters with an M16A1.
>>28542284
He comes off as very level in his videos, and definitely has an imposing physical presence.
I bet he's seen some shit too
>Islamic State regains control over Ghazal Village in Northern Countryside of Aleppo

>During the final stages of his U.S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course in December 2005, Gene Yu was in the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) phase of the program. In accordance with the requirements of the training, Yu only carried his military ID card and a knife. Yu and his classmates were also expected to learn to live off the land, and as such, ate very little. In the final days of the evasion portion of the school and motivated by hunger, Yu left the boundaries of the exercise and came upon a group of Guatemalans in the North Carolina forest. Using Spanish skills acquired during extensive foreign travel, Yu was able to convince them to give him a ride to the nearby town of Aberdeen. After reaching Aberdeen and being rejected by a convenience store, Yu directed the group to a Papa John's Pizza's location he knew he could pay of and he then ordered pizzas and other food at the restaurant. He knew he could pay without an actual physical credit card, and with a memorized credit card information and his ID card because he had done it in the past at other Papa John’s restaurant locations. Yu returned to his classmates with the food. Though they destroyed the evidence of the pizzas, Yu was later found with the receipt during the resistance phase of the school during a strip search that was part of the training. Yu was initially forced out of the U.S. Army Special Forces Qualification Course, despite only being short one day of graduation, but was later able to repeat the class and receive his Green Beret. While some saw the incident as a typically creative Special Forces-type of solution to the SERE challenge, and his story is still reportedly told as a cautionary tale to incoming students to the SERE program by its cadre (albeit without Yu’s name and with the consequence of having been being forced out of the school).[2][5]
TOP KEK. I have an opportunity to goto SERE, should I do it?

Looks stupid, the action seems very slow. Also the getting shot once kill you like in Ghost Recon is kinda dumb.
Can Carl Gustav take out modern MBT? What about modern MBT with era?
It seems like the direct Western counterpart to the RPG-29, which can fuck up an M1 abrams right good.

>carl gustav
>direct western counterpart to RPG29
LOL
>>28538384
But really, the gustav is outdated garbage from 1940's that is useful as a general purpose rocket launcher, whereas the RPG-29 is a much more advanced AT launcher meant to engage MBT's.
