Why are people so fucking stupid?
NO ONE here knows shit about this plane. Barely anyone here knows shit about aeronautics. No one here knows shit about how commanding a 21st century air battle would go.
Why do people pretend to know what they are talking about? You have retards talking about a plane that has largely classified equipment and let alone they don't even know tactics or command in the skies. Do you really fucking think the greatest military in existence would spend all that money on something that the Chinks or Vodka could beat? Of course not.
Speaking of them, while they are still drawing their 5th gen fighters, we're already working on our 6th gen. Ayyy lmao.

Same family members spent that afternoon magdumping some shitty S&W striker pistol into the ground to diagnose a feeding issue... Right next to ginger's brand new Camaro
What is your gun wishlist? If you had an unlimited budget what would buy first?
Other than the obligatory "every gun" what would you get that you think would be really special to you?
I've always thought it would be fun to have a complete collection of the different glocks, they have like 25 distinct models of them.
I'd also like to get one of every gun issued by the US military since the founding of America, or get whatever the closest I can get, like dressing up an old full auto M16 to look like an M4 carbine, since you can't get real M4 carbines as a civilian.
I don't know but to start some sort of SBR in several calibers and maybe some SBS's as well.
>>28255941
i would like to collect sbs's and shotgun pistols, they are interesting to me, also I would like to have the one of the original style models of every new type of assault rifle (i.e. actual or repro stg44, original model ak47, original model m16 etc.)
So I just did a preliminary recruit sign up with the Los Angeles Police Department, and they said because I admitted to trying narcotics at one point, I will be permanently disqualified if I try and continue with the registration process.
Are there any US LEOs on /k/? Did just fuck up my chance to become an employee of US Law Enforcement forever?
>>28255420
yep
What did you use how long ago did you use it.
If you used meth last week, then don't expect a job in LE
If you took some hydrocodone two years ago, then there is still some hope.
Try another department,
And stop smoking dope.
>>28255420
Hahahahahaha, but that's too bad OP, you sound like the kind of dipshit they are looking for.
How embarrassed would you be if you were robbed with a hi point?
>>28255059
Not at all, they can kill me just fine
>>28255059
>nigger robs me at gun point
>with a hi-point
>ask "nigga, you know why they call it a 'hi-point'?
>the nig nog replies "no"
>point out to him the by holding it sideways he is pointing it to high to hit anywhere near me
>he holds it the right way, tea cupping it, that pleb
>something clicks
>he realizes he's always been a white cops with a mustache deep inside
>drive through the neighborhood the next week
>his entire gang has on booty shorts and aviators
>all wearing some sort of fake mustache
>they stop me and ask why I'm a nigger
>the one nig recognizes me
>he goes ape shit
>the entire block through me a party
>turns out crime went down 120% since the block turned into black guys playing white ass cops
>eatin' chicken nuggets all day long now
How embarrassed am I? I dont know, you tell me how proud I am.

Iraqveteran8888 has decided to do a new video, let's hope it's less gay then the previous AK meltdown one.

How does iv8888 have easy access to full autos? I live in Mass so my knowledge of living in a place that respects our rights is minimal
Why are non-SOF enlisted vets so fucking fat, holy fuck?

Why? I have it tightened down as much as possible
>>28254876
Are you attempting to decap Berdan cases?
>>28254876
I.... I think you're trolling.
Someone loading obsolite, black powder cartridges should fucking know better.
Either that, or you're going to lose your hand/face/dick.

Who knew he was so based?
Other pro-gun celebs to be aware of?
Of course he's based.
It's fucking Snake.
>>28254978
Celebrities are all fucking mindless trash, nothing they say should ever be taken seriously.
>>28254978
>Who knew he was so based?
Anyone who has seen his work, particularly from the 1980s.
>>28255007
You're opinion matters though....right?
If you intercept & shoot an incoming nuclear cruise missile with an air to air missile, will it still cause a nuclear detonation?
If a nuke goes off in the woods, would anyone hear it?
No, creating a nuclear detonation requires a precisely timed implosion from multiple detonators, you'll probably set the HE and blast plutonium over the area but there won't be a nuclear explosion.
>>28254944
No, at best you crash the thing intact and get a free nuke. At worst you detonate one side of the HE sphere and scatter radioactive material across the landscape for a couple hundred yards.
can we have a thread to discuss /k/ related documentaries? My personal favourites are ones that follow military units either through training or deployment. Big bonus if they can be watched on youtube.
Two very good ones are Royal Marines: Mission Afghanistan and Norway at War. If you want a good one that instead follows troops through training, check out Commandos: On the front line.

>>28254856
Bud/s class 234 is still on youtube i think.
Restrepo, The Hornet's Nest. I forget if I saw Korengal.
>>28255132
The only thing restrepo and korengal did was make me think the army and marines are complete fucking cowards. I spise they're good in that sense about exposing the reality of our troops but Jesus that made me hate my own country more than any intentional criticism ever did.
>>28254856
speaking of african culture, I remember there were a couple of docs about the Congo park rangers, who are operator as fuck. Can't remember who did them.
Would anyone be able to tell me more about Latin American operators?
Also general Latin America thread I guess. Stories, discussions, image drump. Whatev
I'm not sure of the official name of this Chilean Naval unit
Likewise I don't know what Colombian unit this is.
GAULA - some sort of hostage rescue unit specializing in kidnapping cases or something. Probably Colombia's equivalent to FBI HRT, though I can't really say for sure

Hey retard, this thead still has 100 posts to go
This is the oldest shot tower in the U.S. It was built to reduce dependence on imported British shot. It operated for almost a century before closing in the early 1900s.
The way these towers worked was the the free falling lead would form a perfect ball before splashing into a vat of water at the bottom
>>28254850
That's pretty cool, same principle behind initial making of ball bearings iirc
There was a guy would worked at the top of this 140' tower, he would haul lead ingots and fuel to the top where it would be melted and poured through a strainer that was sized for the size of shot needed. It was a highly toxic and back breaking job.
