How realistic is this loadout for home defense?
Pretty good if you're defending the guy down the block

What's the smallest military unit capable of independent operations? A battalion? A company? A regiment?
How would an infantry company get armored support? Do armor companies transfer men and material where needed or are they only deployed at company strength etc?
If you were trying to take a small island (~250km2) held by two companies of infantry and some limited armor/air assets, what would the smallest sized unit capable of it? Assume a wider conflict necessitates diverting as few men and as little material as possible to it while still getting the job done.
This seems like a loaded question.
Because devgru does operations with 6 man groups
HOWEVER they have huge logistical support.
Does logistics count as being a part of the unit?
>>27952351
>what would the smallest sized unit capable of it?
massive air campaign and one guy with a pointy stick to poke the charred bodies
>>27952373
No, assume naval logistics for the attackers in this scenario and a miniature normandy style beachead to get it to frontline futher inland.

It's good. Can I get a better shot of your watch? Is that victrinox?
I would suggest a designated timepiece brand but you could certainly do worse

I don't really have the patience to master the technique of making spear tips out of stone. I have been trying to find some nice clovis points (iron, steel, whatever) that I can just buy and put on the end of a stick for maximum spearing powwa
My google-fu is weak /k/, I need your help
Just get a cold steel bushman thing

what kind of effects would a 50 caliber type round (specifically 13.2mm tuf) have on a large grizzly bear? What about a person?
>>27951921
>what kind of effects
a good effect if you are the one shooting them unless they are behind large amounts of high grade steel
>>27951921
my fathers 8mm magnum put football sized holes into elk, so a bullet four times as large would likely blow a man in half if hit from the front, or bisect him if he was prone. It would definetley take off limbs. Kodiaks can get well over a ton though so i dont know

One of my work associates recently purchased a Katana from someone for 200$. From the construction of the blade it was obviously a hand forged piece. When we took a look at the Tang these kanji were chiseled into the metal. It looks like a maker's signature but I cannot read Japanese. Can anyone translate what these kanji are?
>>27951721
It reads: Made in USA
>>27951721
I hate to break it to you, but your friend didn't buy a katana. What you have there is a sheet of graph paper.
>>27951721
The one on the bottom vaguely resembles fire to me (might be water or something like that)
It's been a while since I voluntarily listened to my weeb-ass father prattle on and show off how he's fluent in Japanese though...
/k/'s opinion on this? Was the cop in the right?

>calling the cops on a suicidal person
literally makes suicide even easier if the person just has to walk forward at a cop than actually cutting themselves.
>>27951659
Yes he was in the right, he gave the guy ample opportunity to stop. If the lady didn't want him in the home to interact with him she shouldn't have let him.
>>27951659
Yes.
I met Hickok45 and son today.
I am 6ft. 225lbs for reference.
I listened to him Q&A for an hour and a half, please feel free to ask me shit, and if it was mentioned I'll post what he said.

He looks so friendly and relaxed, I wonder if the youtube comments are getting to him
Is there a game more alpha than Russian Roulette?
>>27951572
Bare backing hookers.
>>27951572
Yes. It's called "Not blowing your brains out like an angsty teen".
>>27951572
Real alpha's don't do stupid shit with such a high probability of dying for no reason. They go out and get shit done.
If I wore full tactical body armour, level 4 plates back and front, with extra protection everywhere during a home invasion would I be in any trouble with the law?
Also if I wore this during a SHTF situation would I attract unnecessary attention as someone who has military gear?
Level 4 plate doesn't stop .50 BMG AP. Most home invaders use that caliber now desu.
Depends on your state.
Yes.
>>27951454

What kind of stupid fucking state would get you in trouble for wearing armor?

No gear thread? Come on /k/, looking at y'alls expensive shit is how I keep from blowing all my money improving my cheap as kit.
Anyway, need a gear recommendation. I just spent over $200 on medical equipment,pic related, and don't have a pack to put it all in. It's gonna be both my operatin' and general innawoods med kit, so along with all the shit in the picture I'm gonna have assorted boo boo and bug bite shit. The big SAM splint will probably just have to go in my backpack, and I'll only grab a few gloves out of the box and take a couple...

Is this a good belt or is it airshit?
Ok /k/ Im so exited, but i need your help on deciding whether or not i should by this gun.
So at a gun show i went to a couple of hours ago there was a Mauser 1918 for 4k, but i believe i can get it for 2500. It has all the parts with matching serial numbers except for the pistol grip and the trigger (which is just a elongated mauser trigger) which should only set me back 500 bucks. Any ways, i was wondering if /k/ thinks this is a good deal.
When i talked to the guy that had it he said he sold his other one for 9k. Also im planning to shoot this gun every once...

Do alot of research first.
How and where are you going to get the spare parts?
Do you have a source or do you have the equipment to make 13.2mm TuF?
>>27951262
posting some more pictures of this awesome rifle
>>27951294
Yeah i am gonna research it all night and hopefully buy it tomorrow. I have a buddy who knows where i can get the trigger (after all its only a elongated normal Mauser trigger) and i can get a grip made for about 500 dollars.
I don't know of any specific places where i could buy ammo and the authentic rounds can be nearly a hundred a piece, i am hoping ill be able to find somebody that makes custom rounds
