I can't seem to be able to find the Janes series of books on the military and such, with out them having a fuck huge price.
http://www.amazon.com/Janes-Armour-Artillery-2011-2012-Christopher/dp/0710629605
Any one know where I can get them for free, or at least cheap?
>>28064557
Do not look for them on piratebay. That would be illegal !
>>28064598
Oh, smart move anon, Thanks!
Wouldn't want to do anything illegal!
(Tried on piratebay already, they aren't there...)

That last Bond flick sure had some meme guns in it. VP9, Arsenal AF-1 carbine, and the AF2011 Prismatic Dueller were all prominently featured.
Thinking about buying this carrier. Any thoughts? Ideas on others I may not know about? Trying to stay in the under 2 hundred dollar range on the carrier.
>>28064236
I guess I should mention it is the TACTEC™ PLATE CARRIER by 511

You know, you could easily find a cheaper one that is exactly the same, maybe minus the quick release cable.
Shellback banshee.
I just want to show off my new purchase.
Regular 300$ CAD, but got it for 180$ CAD
>>28064161
40% discount due to cracked stock.

I was more concerned about this shit job here.

And I also confused why this hole is at the end of the underside of the barrel.
Since Russia’s involvement in the Ukraine conflict in 2014, nearby Baltic states have been on high alert. Estonia, the smallest country in the region, signed a military equipment deal worth 138 million euros ($147 million) last December — the largest procurement in its history.
The country also has a growing militia, known as the Estonian Defense League, made up of 15,000 volunteers. They take part in war scenario exercises, with many of the members keeping firearms of their own at home. Should Estonia's sovereignty be threatened, the militia will be called upon to defend it at all costs.
The organization's membership has risen by 10 percent since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, partly based on national Estonian fears that Russia will attempt to breach its eastern border. NATO has increased its fighter jets and ground troops in the country, as a show of what they say is support to its ally, yet Russia has claimed this is "provocative" and held its own military exercises near the border.
VICE News follows 800 members of the Estonian Defense League on a combat training exercise to find out how they are preparing for a possible confrontation. We also meet with US NATO air support and speak to ethnic Russians in the Estonian border city of Narva.

Fucking love you, Esto-bros! You're the only people really understanding what's really going on at the eastern border, and acting accordingly.
greetings from the other side of the gulf. Would volunteer if SHTF, assuming our borders wouldn't get raped simultaneously.
>>28064049
You better do what you did in ww 2. Stink your head in the NATO butts and keep looking from there.

Lithuania, Latvia and Poland all made similar defence increases
Hey /k/
I want to get a job and get ahold of some funs by taking courses and stuff.
Any idea what my first fun should be? I was thinking about getting a handgun and then a rifle. I live in Commiefornia so I'll need advice that pertains to that state.
Also, first time shooting tips would be appreciated too. I know you're not supposed to hold your breath like in Cawadooty and you're supposed to steady your breathing and exhale as you shoot.
Thank you /k/omrades
I think a gun first-timer should probably start off with a rifle, they are significantly easier to get a feel for. And I know this may sound retarded to you, but maybe get a .22 so you can start off not having to worry so much about the kickback.
>>28063959
So you want to be a mercenary.
>>28064040
I've heard lots of advice saying that .22's are the way to go for plinking and first time shooting.
I assumed that handguns would be easiest to learn first, but I'm no professional.
If anything though, I'd like to get a feel for both at the beginning.
>>28064056
If I joined Diamond Dogs, I probably wouldn't be in the Combat Unit ;_;7
Most likely Intel or Support.
How much .22 is too much .22?
Is it ideal to stockpile, for future/shtf/scare scenarios?
>>28063951
I have a 50cal and a 30cal can full of .22 like in OPs pic. I still buy it at a reasonable price when I see it. I don't see a "too much ammo" limit.
>>28063951
is it safe to store rimfire cartridges like this?
>>28063951
22lr is about the last thing I'd ever stockpile 10's of thousands of rounds with intentions of shooting it a decade or two later.
Keep ahead on the numbers enough to ride out an ammo panic, sure, but that's about it. I wouldn't go an inch beyond that with rimfire crap primers and poorly sealed cartridges.
Centerfire ammo on the other hand, I'd trust that a lot more. And plenty of that comes in spam cans or is sealed at the primer/bullet anyway vs any outside air.
Because hunting would be an important source of food in a hypothetical SHTF scenario, a SHTF rifle should be accurate and powerful enough to hunt and fight with. That rules out many "black guns"--.223 may lack the power for large game, especially at long distances--and assault rifles, which are not very accurate, but it includes almost any good hunting rifle. Those worried about capacity can buy aftermarket extended magazines.
>>28063950
>.223 can't kill large game
>"assault rifles" aren't accurate
Go back to /b/, nigger. Hogs and deer are easily taken with .223.
>>28063950
you don't need a fudd rifle, you need an idiot rifle for idiots like yourself.
>>28064001
This.
Buy a mosin, OP.

Hey. I'm also posting this in /tg and /sci.
I'm working on a crafting system for a tabletop rpg akin to the Witcher. I'd like to keep as scientifically accurate as possible but when it came time to start figuring out explosives I hit a roadblock.
I was wondering if anyone could explain explosives like frag grenades, c4, explosive gels (like batman's in the arkham games) in a simple way for someone who took highschool science about a half a decade ago.
The key things I'm looking to are:
chemical/catalyst + catalyst/chemical = how much explosive force
Sorry for my lack of understanding, but that's why I'm here. To learn.
>>28063864
good luck bruh, nobody here knows shit about explosives
nobody here knows shit about anything other than firearms
most people here don't even know shit about those
>>28063864
Nice try Mr.BATFE.
Gun powder + Elven Dust = 12.468tons of TNT equivalent force.
does anybody have a gif or webm showing how the internals of a lever action shotgun works
(like the winchester 1887)
or any other guns but im looking for that one
nobody?
>>28063836
you're lucky i like these

very lucky
In your opinion what is the best SKS variant?
Never owned one, there is a great deal near me on a yugo SKS, never issued, comes with lots of extras for $400
I've heard the yugo ones are pretty low on the SKS totem pole. Is that because of how common they are or are they just shitty?
>>28063771
they're not as desirable as russian ones in terms of collecting. otherwise the yugos are good to go as far as i know
I'm not an expert but the main reason Yugo's aren't as popular is because they don't have chrome lined bores. Only a problem if you're shooting a lot of corrosive ammo.
>>28063771

i just enlisted, was wondering if anyone had worked directly with HUMINTS and could give me a little more information as to what they do. i've obviously researched on my own and have a little more than basic understanding as to what the duties are.
Also, how bad are the winters at Fort Sill?
>>28063324
God I hope your recruiter didn't lie to you.
You will sit in a TOC reading debriefs and countless documents, look through hundreds of pictures and decide what is useful and what is trash.
You might get to actually talk with people on occasion to get some intel yourself, but it is seldom.
Then you will tell a shitload of officers what you think of the intel you looked at. Have fun.
What enticed me the most was the TSSC and learning a second language. I figured that it would have is drawbacks. lol
