So is there any real reason to use a shotgun over a modern tactical rifle in modern combat? And I'm including all forms of combat in this, from home defense to a full blown war zone.
I know shotguns still have their place in hunting and sport, and their fun as fuck to shoot, but in terms of fighting other humans they seem objectively inferior to an AR or AK. Less than a third as many rounds, heavy as fuck recoil, shorter range (I said shortER sperglords, I know they are still effective past video game distances,) louder, and unless you have the money to drop on a reliable...

Who the fuck uses a shotgun in modern combat anyway as a main service firearm?
>>28465441
Oh, and I forgot, slower to reload and heavier ammo.
>>28465451
Fair enough. Is there any reason other than legal restrictions?
Can someone explain to me why anti-ship missiles are considered so deadly? I thought in war, ships would hit each other with shells that were much larger and had more explosives in them, and AP shells could penetrate through armor belts.
>>28465341
HE is more destructive than a big chunk of steel like those cannon shells
Things like exocets or harpoons wouldn't do anything to a battleship though.

>Comparing only warhead weight of a missile to total weight of a shell

Tell me then admiral, why don't we see battleships being used then?
Are Revolver manufacturers required to install internal locks by law? Or is it merely caving to political pressure? Is it a state by state issue?
I think it's only specific manufacturers that do it. I know Ruger doesn't.
The same conglomerate that owns S&W also owns an integral gun lock company/patents. S&W management publicly sided with Clinton on gun locks for this reason and perhaps others, and they remain on new S&W revolvers to this day.

Makes me sad.
Then again getting a GP would make me pretty happy.
so /k/, is it pronounced flechette, flechette or flechette?
>>28464882
Flechette flechette but not flechette, or flechette flechette. And fuck you if you say flechette.
>>28464882
fleshet
>>28464882
it's pronounced "shit" because it's shit
What's a state that has both cold weather and pro-gun sentiments? New Jersey is a shit state for a /k/ommando.
Literally all of the states that border Canada except for New York.
>>28464806
One state west bro. PA
Maine, Montana, and Alaska spring to mind.
Why the fuck are these things still illegal?

OH MY GOD DELETE THE THREAD IT'S SOOO SCARRRRYY
The real question is how come the notch is legal? We should ban the notch. Fuck, I hope it doesn't read this
Do you WANT an infestation of greasers?
Fuck. You guys have it easy. Up here in Canada, if we loosen our laws at all, we'll have a bunch of ninja's overnight killing hapless children.
What type of weapons or self defense strategy would help in getting out of this type of situation?
This was one of the mass rape gangs in Germany that attacked civilians a few days ago btw.

Buying 1911 and deciding between the a rail or no rail.
Personally I like it without a rail, but can buy with rail for around $1100
>>28463499
rail is nice to have, its nearly impossible to find an off the shelf holsters for 1911s with rails/ lights, they never quite fit right and god forbid you ever change something like the slide release
that being said if you dont plan on ever putting a light on it save yourself the hassle and dont get a rail

those are both garbage. a decent holster is going to cost in the 40-100+ range
with so many kydex options out there, there is no reason to get a generic holster
Someone make a /meg/ thread I don't have the template.
This'll do I guess. Here's my question: if I went 11x option 4 could I get being placed into the 173rd in my contract? Is 173rd 'better' than 82nd?
fuck it, makeshift /meg/ it is.
went to AF recruiter this morning, took practice ASVAB, scored really well he said. the problem is that both jobs i was interested in aren't available or in very limited quantity (like .9% or .45% chance of getting them).
he really pushed crypto linguist, EOD, security forces or special aircraft maintenance.
so i called my army recruiter (sgt. shieet for those who frequent these threads) and she said the job i want is available, but its based on my ASVAB score. i told her i'm taking ASVAB monday, and if i get the score...

Here's the thing mate.
You want to be 11x. I can figure you want to operate.
But, you want to be 11x during peacetime military.
That means a lot of mopping and sweeping grass.
Why don't you hit the fucking gym and go for option 40.
It's a bitch. I have 2 friends that recently passed RASP and got their scrolls.
It's hard as fuck and loads of people wash out.
They literally look for reasons to drop people.
They don't want you there.
But if you make it, you'll...

Is this fake or real?
>>28463148
You mean the image or the events?
I hope the image is real.
>>28463148
probably fake knowing antigunz, but who knows, I'm sure some of these things have actually happened.
It bothers me that they keep saying shot instead of murdered though, because that's what it is.
I could see anti gunners believing those. After all us gun owners are scary retards. I could see a couple being maybe true but still incredibly unlikely.

Hey, /k/. I am mostly a /pol/ack shitposter, who doesn't know shit about guns, to clarify my position. I came across pic related, and I have a feeling the bitch is lying. Is she? Why? If she tried to do something, what would happen?
>Manhattan
>carrying guns
The dude was a cop. If she tried to use her "training" (which probably consisted of absolutely nothing and her only qualification being an ex-pat) would get her shot
>>28463128
>Manhattan
That was a cop or someone who has to carry for their job.
>I'm only partially weapons trained.
God fucking forbid she elaborate
I'm not military or LE trained and it doesn't take much to think "Ayyyyyy not gonna go for his gun lmao"
>>28463191
But do holster have some security or some shit? I genuinely do not know. How would you actually disarm someone in this situation?
Let's all argue for a couple minutes

what level of operator is that? why aren't you that level?
>>28462717
funny, i remember the "medical examiner" saying the kids were shot up to 8 times each.

he also said they were shot with a rifle

Why do Americans never strap their helmets on in war movies, particularly WWII? Did this actually happen or is it a retarded trope?
>>28460485
I heard that it helped against glancing bullets by throwing the helmet off your head instead of letting your cranium take a beating but what do i know.
>>28460485
Because it's badass.
The same reason there are silenced .44 magnums that make only a "pewp" sound
