Buyer's Assistance Thread
Just an idea to help each other out with purchases on things we want, but don't necessarily know a lot about.
In this case an AK74 found on armslist- pic related. The guy wants $950. Is it worth it /k/? I want an AK model rifle really badly.
http://www.armslist.com/posts/4903767/massachusetts-rifles-for-sale--romanian-sar-2-ak74-with-mags--ammo
>>28051614
Depends, are you in MA?
Sar 2's are unicorn rifles in my experience, and usually come with some trigger slap and sometimes canted sights, ask the guy about either of those but remember 98 % of people on armslist are compulsive liars.
For that price I'd rather get an Arsenal SLR-104FR.
>>28051644
agreed, I've heard good things about wasr ak74s, but that's too close to the pricepoint where you get a legit ak-74 front sight base/brake and folder stock
/k/omrades I need help.
We're doing practice qualifications at the police Academy today.
My groupings turn to shit at 15-25 yards. I keep shooting low and to the left, until eventually at 25 yards I'm lucky to get it in the target area.
How do I fix this asap? I have a 45 usp but it's obviously something I'm doing wrong and probably not the gun.
>>28051480
Anticipating recoil or squeezing too hard.
Does your dept issue you that USP with a heavy ass police trigger or is it your personal piece?
>>28051589
Issued, I hate the thing. It's too big for my hands. And I'm the special snowflake who needs .45 ammo at the Academy.
>>28051630
Yeah you're gonna have to keep practicing then. Most dept. guns seems to have a fuckhueg pull and it's making your groups suck. Just keep practicing as much as you can.
So, /k/, I once read an opinion here that America was actually relatively close to winning in 'Nam, but the media shitstorm and anti-war movement caused a premature retreat from SE Asia.
It went along the lines that the Tet Offensive was a desperate final move by the North Vietnamese forces after guerrilla tactics depleted Viet Cong manpower.
Is there any validity to this? How much longer would it have taken if we didn't bitch out? How would it have changed the world stage?
Utter bullshit. The war was at a stalemate for years, blaming it on pressure at home was a convenient excuse to withdraw troops and abandon South Vietnam.
More or less correct. But don't argue that >we still won vietnam
>>28051475
Why do that if we'd already sunk such a great cost (capital and human life) into the war? Especially if that would hurt U.S. image abroad.
>>28051482
I wouldn't, but i do think things are a lot more complicated than durrrrr murica lost vietnam, nixon was a retard
Any TNPers here?
God I hope not

I like nutnfancy. Yes, some of his ideas are a bit goofy, but he takes the longest time testing a firearm out of any other gun reviewer before making a video and I can appreciate that.
I wonder what other gun Youtubers think of him.
I go to basic training in two months
what are the chances of my girlfriend dear johning me?
I'm enlisted as a nuke if that matters
You'll probably kill yourself, especially after finding your gf taking Jamal's bbc
Dump her, fuck her friend.
She'll love you more than ever.
Nukes are the strangest most autistic fucks....you'll probably fail and end up a BM.
Do CIA spies actually fight as well as Jason Bourne?
Haha, no
No. No they do not. about...6 out of 10 are slightly in shape computer nerds.
>>28051353
You know those out of shape guys from your HR department? Yeah most of them look like that.
>people who compare US and Russian military budgets and proclaim that US is 10 times more powerful
>people who compare UK or French budgets with Russian budgets and believe their armies are comparable to Russian armed forces
Let me explain you something.
Everything is simply far cheaper in Russia.
Army is cheaper to maintain (mostly conscripts).
Research and development is cheaper (done by government owned companies).
Production is cheaper (government owned companies).
Wages are lower, supplies...

Russia has 2.5k active tanks. Turkey has 3k. Poland has 1k.
Good luck with that NATO eastern flank Putin-san.

Is there a reason why the Soviets never built an aircraft as versatile as the F-4?
>>28051282
They didn't mind building a bunch of aircraft that were good at something than an aircraft that was okay at everything.
>>28051282
Su-24?

I'm not trying to bring up the old chestnut of 9mm vs 45 for "stoppan powah" or carrying capacity.
I was more curious in regards to performance with penetration. Obviously, rifle rounds are most ideal, and in most self defense (and home defense) scenarios, you DON'T want overpenetration.
If you DID, though, what would be the best? I assume most common things to worry about punching through would be large trees, car doors (both sides), walls in general.
Is it simply "Doesn't matter as long as it's FMJ"?
Tokarev
Yeah, pretty much just FMJ.
Some shit like hard cast +P like what buffalo bore sells does well too.

How much does tank armor matter now the far as I know shells beat armor of any type(i might be wrong), and a tank that doesn't have composite armor only steel is even good at anything?(pic related, its a romanian MBT TR-85M1 that has nothing but steel armor and spaced armor)
>>28051041
Some tanks can take frontal hits from kinetic penetrators and HEAT rounds, but they aren't going to bounce off like they did in decades past. Not getting hit is the key, as is tracking your target and firing before they can.
>>28051080
And what ammo is more dangerous HEAT or APFSDS?I mean heat can be blocked by ERA spaced armor, cage armor, but still its the most used ammo I think
>>28051111
I think there are some shells that have the ability to fire the jet of super heated metal in tandem in order to defeat ERA.
Or is it only missiles?
Anyways, I remember watching an interview of American tankers, who said that they switched to HEAT after tanks and fighting vehicles that were declared killed after being struck by APFSDS, actually survived the impact because the crew were not inside the vehicles, climbed back inside and began firing at the rears of US tanks as they drove past. They said...

Would Russia invading Finland provoke a real response from the US despite Finland not being a NATO country?
No. Finland's fellow European Union members might dispatch some very strongly-worded letters, though.
>>28051019
What a manlet
Lets hope they nuke Finland.
>they claim to be warfare enthusiasts
>they don't play Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations
What's your excuse?

I'm a truck enthusiast, I don't play Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Ran out of scenarios to play
Spent 4 yrs in 160th SOAR as a uh-60 crew chief. Transferred to 160th while I was a mechanic then moved up to flight platoon after a few months in my battalion.
Spent time in Iraq, Afghanistan, Central America, and the Philippines.
Got out a couple years ago. I will answer to the best I can but will not talk about details from overseas.
>>28050849
Was the any noticeable difference in flight quality between the humid and the dry areas?

Do support personnel have to go through selection to serve the SF?
>>28050849
How fucked is the current status of the US armed forces, especially the marines (if you ever encountered them in large numbers or had to work for/with them) compared to other similar groups from other countries?
Can anyone identify these casings?
>>28050788
Probably .223
>>28050800
Do you think .243 Or 22-250 Will be close enough becuase those are all i have
>>28050816
Nice fudd cartridges
