I don't get it /k/
if a good knife will last a lifetime, why do so many people buy new ones, or own a heap of them?
why get a new gerber when you could get an old one?
there are so many milsurp knifes out there, and they were made from high quality steel, so you can re-grind the blade
on the other end of the spectrum I bought 6 opinel no8's, because I can treat them like shit and if they break I can just throw them out
I an do things that wreck a knife, and not have to care
surprisingly I'm still on my first after two years, I thought...

>why do so many people buy new ones, or own a heap of them?
same as with guns - because so many people just like collecting them.
As for me, I go for roles: a sturdy folding knife for EDC, a Mora for general work, and a BK2 for heavy duty. I guess I could add a combat knife on top of that, for whenever you're out of ammo or need a stealth takedown, but never could be arsed to (and never needed to).
>>27946628
I'm a collector but I agree with you.
The only knives I have bought new are the ones I always use.
The rest I always try to buy second hand. No matter how cheap I can get a new knife from a store, if it's for the collection I'd rather get second hand , even if pristine, from a private seller.
Any high quality knife will be perfectly serviceable even if it has been heavily used, and unless some retard fucked it up real bad I'm always happy to have them. For example, people...

You ever skinned a deer with the knife in your picture?
That's why you need more then one knife
I'm very Interested in CCW, currently looking at Kahr PM9's, Kimber Solo's, and Sig 938's.
Does anyone have tips/advice on these? Any recommendations?
Basically I want a quality deep concealment 9mm.
Must haves.
-9mm
-More than 6 rounds.
-Reliable
Would be very nice if,
-American made and designed
-Has night sights
-Is metal framed
-Generally regarded as high quality.
Under 1200 pls
Bonus Info
I live in South Florida, and never wear jeans/work pants. I'm always in shorts or when I'm working, a suit.
I'm already experienced with funz. This is just my first CC peice.
Have you considered the Kahr MK9? I've never shot it, but if it's metal framed you want, it might be worth a look.
I and a bunch of other /k/ommandos have p938s, and if you're cool with carrying cocked and locked, it's not a bad choice. thing is tiny.
>>27946863
My mom has a P938 and I like it, but my autism requires me to carry something different. And yeah the MK9 looks cool but I'm not sure about it due to the lack of reviews.
ok /k/, so I was innawoods and I found a tent set up deep in the Forrest with some dug in fortifications around it
the place hadn't been touched in years, inside the tent were spiders, lots of spiders
also a fire axe, portable heater, sleeping roll/pile of rags
around the place were some wire snares for rabits, but way too close to the camp to catch anything
then I find this knife driven right into a tree, I had to cut the tree down to get the knife out
it looks like pic related, but the guard is brass
one side is marked "rodger" with a second line under it unreadable
on the pommel in large, neat lettering is R.M.B
the other side of the blade has three lines of small text that I can't read, looks like
mag***
she****
********
I'd like to know if it's a real ww2 knife or a repro, and anything you guys can tell me about my innawoods knife
also the leather and handle cleaned up well, but I can't get the black off the blade
>>27946500
It's an old usn mki, that's all in know
>>27946507
I'm just unsure if it's real or not
>>27946630
Definitely looks real, I wouldn't try to restore it much, just oil it
Was up for $795 with night sights, wood grips and an extra clip. Springfield armory 1911.
They're like all the same man

How boned is the gunship?
8 maybe 10
>>27946360
Unless the A-10 is parked, kiss your ass goodbye.
One on one, don't be silly.
Manpad vs AC130 is a more even match.
>>27946360
Honestly, not very
the A-10 is an air to ground attack plane so its not really suited for fighting another aircraft, plus look at the AC-130 , it can lay down accurate fire from more than a few miles so it could probably just kill the pilot from out of the A-10s attack range
What does /k/ think of the Leclerc
I heard it got 2 forward gears and 6 backward

It's a pretty shy tank.
More seriously, thanks to frenchfag we have pretty accurate infos on it.
>>27946329
its a modern western tank from a nation with lots of experience building said vehicles
what would you wear to protect yourself? do you make your own custom gear?
>>27946258
>do you make your own custom gear?
No, because I don't have the ewuipment to fabricate my own ceramic plates, nor do I have the time or skill to sew a worthwhile carrier.
Viper Tactical and Dupoint man, Ik viper is air soft but idgaf, the kneepads and shit still work
>>27946265
I know right in facts I was searching some premade set, though looks like there isn't much choice.
>>27946281
but would that help to prevent injuries from splinters or stuff like that? even the one in pic probably won't be enough since it's just thin aluminium plates, I wish there was something in steel instead.
Threat to correct some of the ignorance you see on this board. Post something that people commonly get wrong or are unaware of.
Pic related. These are not fake/drill or airsoft pistols. They fire 9mm simulation (plastic tips with paint) rounds and are used for CQB training. I've seen plenty of people asking why the troops are using blue pistols and offering completely wrong explanations. You also get replacement bolts that allow rifles to fire 5.56 sim rounds with no other modifications to the rifle.
ok

Glocks and ARs are terrible weapons. US military and police always seem to pick the worst option when it comes to weapons and gear. They picked baby blue karate pajamas as a uniform ffs... Weapons and vehicles made domestically suck and we make terrible decisions.
>>27946256
why are they terrible weapons?
they seem to be pretty accurate and reliable to me, if a little bland.
Is it possible to buy a REPLICA Short Magazine Lee–Enfield Mk III in Australia. I've looked and have no clue.
>>27946181
>in Australia

>>27946235
Yeah you do. Iv'e Spent about an hour today on the phone talking to Ranges and fucking replica places. I dont want one that fires. i just want one to add to my War memorabilia

>Is it possible to buy a REPLICA Short Magazine Lee–Enfield Mk III in Australia. I've looked and have no clue.
Short answer, no.
Get your licence and get a real one, it will be cheaper and you'll be able to have ammo as well.
Hello /k/ I've been interested in survivalism for a long time and I think you are the right guys to talk to so here's my question if I was going to have all the things I needed for long term survival in a backpack what would those things be? My prerequisites for the kit is 1. It helps me survive for weeks or even months 2.it helps me fend of violent scavengers/bandits/militias 3.all equipment for the kit should be easily obtainable and should be easily affordable on a minimum wage salary 4.it can NOT contain a firearm (in my country they are strictly prohibited and...

You're not going to survive for months out of a backpack.
I've had a backpack that I've lived out of (and fought out of) and I needed a resupply of food at the end of every four days and a resupply of ammunition after every firefight. The idea of subsisting as some kind of combat nomad is just a romanticised pipe dream for Red Dawn fans.
>>27946197
Ok then what about simply surviving for a few days at a time then heading into town real every few days resupplying and then head back out?
>>27946211
I'd say resupplying from what

Hey! There's this really great YouTube channel called forgotten weapons. As the name implies, it's all about forgotten and rare weapons. It's run by a dude named Ian. We've actually helped him out quite a bit here at /k/. You should check him out.
Never posted on /k/ before but I've got a question for you in an event of a state of emergency in a country with strict gun laws what around your house could you use/improvise/modify into a viable weapon for self defence
Literally anything.
>>27946059
I mean as in a weapon that could be used to take on individuals who are already heavily armed such as firearms
>>27946073
If you think about it, not getting seen by them is probably the first thing to think about.
To anyone who's in favor of women on the combat field, I want you to role play in your mind for a minute and imagine the following scenario:
You are a six foot tall man who's comprised of 250 pounds of pure muscle. You're riding through enemy territory, when the worst case scenario happens. Your convoy is attacked. You're completely decimated. In the attack, you get shot in the leg. You can't walk. There is one other survivor who's with you: One of the drivers. The driver now has the task of carrying you, on foot, fifteen miles through enemy...

I agree but I would rather have a 5'3'' 130 pound woman with a steady hand oparate on a bullet wound than a 6' 250 pund dude so more of a medical role in a FOB would be best
The irony is that in your fantasy a lot of men wouldn't be able to carry that person back either, you it doesn't work to represent a failing.
Don't think it really matters, because there are plenty of manlets and lanklets in the military who are plenty strong, male or otherwise, but nobody is going to drag 250 pounds of person through 15 miles of enemy territory
You're a fag and this thread is stupid
Still shouldn't be women on the front lines IMO
However to play the doubles advocate since this thread is cancer, if you are 6'3" 250lb would you rather carry a 5'10" 200lb wounded man or 5'3" 120lb wounded female
Looking at bullpup rifles for hunting white tail.
Been eyeing the Keltec RFB because it is chambered in 7.62 NATO. I have had a Keltec P32 before and it did good at the range for a compact handgun, so Keltec is OK in my book. Any opinions?
Generally looking for a bullpup rifle for hunting white tail deer, maybe even wild boar if they make it this far.
Also, always had a soft spot for the AUG.

okay /k/
never been a gun lover
living in a country where guns are pretty much police and army exclusive considering how much of a butthurt making a license is
but since always wanted to hold and shoot the real thing went to the range couple of days ago
they gave me glock 19 with 25 bullets, 80 feet distance
