Did I fuck up really badly here? I bought an Aimpoint micro T-2 2 MOA sight off Amazon for $700.00.
I'm concerned it might be a fake. Can anyone experienced with aimpoint micro sights please help me determine if its legit or not. I tried calling aimpoint directly and they are closed already.
I can provide more pictures and information upon request.
Pic related, the plain white cardboard box it came in and the foam inside. I found it strange it didnt come with a warranty card. I will dump some more pictures.
Everything that was in the box.
Show the sight and the markings on the side
Best way to figure out if your micro is legit: Turn it on, and see if it's still on in 4.5 years. If it is, it's legit.
Or...just call aimpoint with the serial # and they'll figure that shit out.

9mm vs .40
Which caliber is better?
>>28512059
9mm because .40 is gay
>inb4 .45
.40 is a worst of both worlds compromise that will wear your gun more
.45 or 9 choice is yours
It's finally winter and I need some gear that I can wear around campus and not look autistic. I usually wear sweat pants and a hoodie, but it's getting cold enough to warrant more than that. What are some nice jackets and pants in olive or fde?
Found this rothco one but rothco is usually shit.

At The Front tanker jacket. I got mine with the fleece lining because I already have enough wool items to worry about. You're absolutely able to operate in this shit. Plus, no obvious tactical shit all over it.
If you go to atthefront. com and look in the section for US jackets and field coats you'll find it soon enough.
Austrian surplus is really nice but not overtly milsurp to most people. Of they know what it is, you'll probably get a compliment at worse.
Then get a nice synthetic insulated jacket you tit instead of chasing wannabe military clothing

Holy Fuck.
This is how the Chinese counter-terror Ops do with knife wielding assailants.
Fucking brutal.
>>28509894
Isn't that how every armed law enforcement or military deals with knife wielding assailants?
>>28510053
Yeah, duh. Still empyting magazines worth into them is kind scary.
But welp, Kebab must be removed with extreme prejudice.

Isn't this guy some tripfag from /k/?
>>28509384
Yes. Its squid.

Yes, he's a rich young nigga

He doesn't trip anymore, but he does still post here. He's a contributor at The Firearm Blog.
Can someone explain this shit to me...
>Live in Mexico 2.0 AKA California
>Tired of gangmembers
>Decide I want to get a gun and keep it in my car, in case shit hits the fan
>In California, you can only conceal carry in a car if it's disassembled and locked away
>You can open carry a long gun though
Can someone explain the logic? I would rather not have the gun be in plain fucking view, because any beaner that wants a gun will just break into my fucking car. Or...
>Keep gun disassembled
>Someone tries to start shit
>"Hold on, let me go unlock my case and assemble my gun."
>>28509291
just keep some prebuilt molotovs in your car, nobody in their right mind would fuck with a maniac wielding a lit molotov.
plus molotovs are easy to dismantle and if questioned you can just say you have bottles of gas just in case your car runs out of fuel.
>>28509291
>>You can open carry a long gun though
im pretty sure you cant unless the law changed in the past month
>>28509356
Do ya'll think that mass AShMs pose a real threat to the USN or do you think CIWS can counter the AShM threat? What about the Chinese hypersonic missile that can travel at 12,000 km/h? What do ya'll think of laser based CIWS systems?
If AShM's were really a threat to naval ships, they would be building armored battleships designed to tank them.
I just look at this poor bubba svd and I think ruined
>>28509073
It looks nice though.
Especially if it was built by a custom shop from parts and not an old rifle that was converted.
>>28509073
Why are you concerned with how other people spend their money?
>>28509073
i would pay for one of those.

I'm a disarmed dude from Germany who is governed by gun-grabbing communist bastards, so I can't get a gun without spending literally thousands of euros BEFORE even acquiring one. Stlil, I want to arm myself for reasons of personal safety, especially after the latest incidents.
So, I have a few questions.
- I can't get a knife with a blade that is longer than 12cm (4,7"). I also can't get a switchblade which can be opened/fixed with one hand (seriously). I own a few good knives, but I can't walk around with any of them without breaking the law. ALSO, I don't have a lot of money. So what kind of knife would you recommend?
- Pepper spray. Any good at all?
Thanks in advance.
>>28508532
>Still, not Stlil
>>28508532
Can you carry a knife that doesn't fold and is less than 12cm? Pepper spray is okay but I'd rather have a knife. Some people are resistant to pepper spray or can fight through it, but no one is resistant to massive blood loss.

you're fucked, time to move
Whats the best EDC light? The one im looking for must be able to use AA and/or 14500 batteries, pocket sized, and under $50.
So far the ones I've narrowed it down to are:
Fenix LD11
NiteCore MT1A
Zebralight sc52w (found one used for $50)
Uses would consist of EDC, and outdoors activities (Worst case scenario - Working my way down a mountain in Mexico at night.)
Any other suggestions?
Those are some bulky flashlights for edc but the trade off for higher lumens seems worth it.i would recommend the thrunite ti5 but it takes aaa's. And it about a thrid as bright as those.
>>28508419
These are about as big as I would go personally. They seem to be relatively pocket compatible too, IMO
Take a look at Thrunite's models as well.

We lost a great friend today.
David Bowie wasn't his real name. Born David Robert Jones, he later used the Bowie last name as tribute to Jim Bowie, inventor of the "Bowie knife". David was a gun enthusiast and knife expert. He lost one of his eyesight in a fight during school. A girl assaulted him with a switchblade.
I hope this is true but somehow I doubt it
>>28508230
Wow anon, I didn't realize he died yesterday. Thanks for the heads up, bretty sad.
Ziggy didn't die...
He just went home...

>>28507809
How often do soldiers switch to full auto? If anyone has had training on this I would be curious
>>28507809
i never thought any of that
ever
>>28507825
Almost never, plus mostly 3 round burst mang, unless u oper8tor

Not OP, but I've always wondered about the stabilized mirror in the sights.
- Does the thermal imager share the same mirror with the LRF and gunsight or does it have it's own mirror?
- Then how does the commanders sight share the day sight with the thermal imager?

Damn, you're fast!
So, i want to ask you something.
Do you happen to know the names or nomenclature of the rounds used in French Leclers? I don't know jack about French tank ammo.
Is Leclerc supposed to be used offensively, or defensively? (for example; Russian tanks are offensive and Leo 2 is more defensive, hull down and such.)
