got this off of the-board-that-shall-not-be-named but i know there are guys that come here everyday (like me) that live in the IE, not just in san bernardino but also in the surrounding cities/counties. If you arnt already on alert, this message was sent today with the accompanying post indicating that the person who received this got it from a person that had no reason to lie.
No I dont know if it is real.
No I cant prove it.
I simply do not want to see any more people needlessly die because they let themselves get complacent.
COMPLACENCY KILLS.

I know for a fact that the police are searching for at least two 'middle eastern people' who were casing a movie theater around 1 am in San Bernardino.

Should more nations be moving back to using 7.62x51mm NATO?
Already Turkey and Germany have made the change, Germany retiring the G36 in favor of the HK417, and Turkey going to their HK417 rip off.
In addition, Argentina still issues FALs, Austria uses FALs as a drill rifle, the FAL sees limited use in Belgium, Brazil has their domestically made rifles based on the FAL's design, Denmark issues G3s, and so does Estonia, Japan has the Howa Type 64, but who knows how much use that actually sees, Norway's Home Guard uses the G3, Pakistan's army uses the G3, South Africa still issues the FAL, Sweden uses the G3, Switzerland's Stgw-57's 7.5x55mm round is comparable to 7.62x51mm, and some of the United State's special forces units have adopted the SCAR 17.
Is 5.56 starting to become less relevant as armor technology improves, is it actually a good idea to switch to a full power rifle cartridge instead of an intermediate round?
Does this mean the US can finally use the AR-10 as a universal combat rifle, filling nearly every role like Stoner intended?
>>28094743
afaik Germany only bought a couple thousand 417s for the few forces that will actually see any action. no real, large scale switch.
>>28094775
They're replacing any G36s that break with HK417s, and by 2019 they plan a large scale replacement plan.
It's not as much about terminal performance as it is lightweight and still sort of effective. When in combat, unless you are in a stable, supported stance, your accuracy goes to shit pretty quickly. Having more rounds to put down range is more necessary, and the small, lightweight qualities of the 5.56 reigns supreme.
In early 2016 a breakthrough in technology makes small shield generators that can run for hours off a belt buckle battery reality.
These shields stop fast moving objects dead in their tracks but must allow air and slow moving objects through.
The technology is a new application of current materials and technology, and rapidly available on the commercial market at relatively affordable prices.
How quickly does this change warfare? How quickly does this change your EDC? And how?
>>28094618
My edc would not change at all. What you're talking about is a huge break through. So it's not gonna be cheap, a whole lot of ppl can't afford it either. Even so, it'd prob be a few yrs before it was really mainstream.
>>28094618
Idk man, you also gotta address how cheap spice gonna be at market price now nigga
>>28094618
For clarification, the Dune books gave roughly 10cm/s as a maximum velocity before a shield halted it. Making projectile weapons unreliable, as anything going that slow could be stopped with pretty minimal physical armor under the shield, but arrow-guns and poison dart needles still existed.

Let's talk about aviation. If you have questions about being an officer, military aviation, etc, ask away. I can't answer any questions that might reveal my identity like callsign, squadron, etc; nor can I answer questions about things like tactics or other things that might be classified.

Thinking of getting a semi automatic pistol tomorrow for target practice and maybe cc at some point. What should i get? Under $500 preferred.
$500 actually gives you quite a few options.
What caliber are you thinking?
>>28094048
Probably 9mm. Really just want something with pretty cheap ammo that won't require much attention/cleaning when i forget.
>>28094067
I'd hate to be that guy but... a Glock does meet that criteria. Just get your hands on one first, you may not like the grip angle.
guess what i got in the mail today :-)
Probably some stupid AR attachment or magazines

Was half way home when the burger soaked up enough booze to realize what I'd just done. At home now, drowning my shame in shots. How bad did I fuck up /k/? Also, share you're related stories.
Did you leave the gun?
Drinking and carrying. Hmmmm
>>28093947
No, I put it back after my wallet. It just didn't click that pulling out a fucking gun in the middle of a restaurant was a bad thing.
