Would an ADD diagnosis prevent me from enlisting in the US Army?

why do all the mentally defective want to join the military?

They want to be around like minded people
So my parents want to get me a gift for getting my CC this past year. Have been carrying a Steyr M series or an SP101. My mother (the bigger fun enthusiast) is offering to get me pic related and a holster of choice. In a micro pistol, is there a better option? I went and tried one and liked the heft of the metal frame as compared to my friends LCP and his P3AT and it overall felt more solid.
Tl;dr Should I P238 or something else?
>>27909214
Also, would like to stick with 380 if it is the same size as the 238. Shot the 938 and it was a good gun, but my follow up shots were considerably slower and the 5 round capacity would be identical to the SP101 while offering less muzzle velocity and impact force as well as a smaller wound channel.
>>27909264
Don't overthink it anon, if it feels good in hand and you like how it shoots, go for it. That's far more important that worrying about wound channels as long as we're talking about full size defensive calibers.
No dindu is going to look at the muzzle when you draw on them and say "lol shit wound channel, time to lube your ass"

Bumping with more Sigs
what does /k/ use for target practice? i was thinking of buying something like pic, but im wondering how long they actually last. 9mm pistol i want to shoot at it with and im tired of printing/stapling targets to wood or trees.
>>27909171
Metal targets rated for pistol calibers will last indefinitely unless someone hits it with 5.56 out of a "pistol" at 10 yards.
Keep your shooting more than 7 yards, always wear safety glasses, and always allow the target to swing free. For example, if you buy an AR500 silhouette and hang it up between trees, make sure the top and bottom are unsecured allowing the target to swing, minimizing the chance of a ricochet coming back at you.
Pistol calibers don't require AR500, but you could...

My range gives you free paper targets for a 4 dollar deposit (they are on pvc frames that you need to bring back in one piece). I use those. If I ever get out to BLM land I'll use a piece of cardboard with a dot drawn on it, taped to a folding chair I picked up from my alley for the purpose.
>>27909171
>And wear safety glasses
i understand you can never be to careful, but what is it that im being careful about shooting at metal targets? i mean, i doubt the bullet would bounce bcak

NEW YORK
Pros:
>Scenery is nice upstate
>People are nice upstate and are generally supportive of gun rights
Cons:
>Shit-tier gun laws
>NYC and Albany dominate politically due to population disparity, making the State hell for everyone else
>Downstate cancer is spreading as idiots from NYC and Jersey settle in the Hudson Valley
I don't mean to offend any NYCbros, but your neighbors are assholes.
>>27909046
God damn it. Feel free to sage, 4chan fucked up my reply to the State thread.
Alternately, we could make this a NY/SAFE Act general, but it's up to you guys.
I love living in NYC, gun laws aside. I still keep a handgun and a shotgun in my apt, the rest of my funs live at my buddy's house in VA.
Living in Queens master race. Fuck Brooklyn and those hipster trust fund fucks.

shit OP, youve got some weird notions.
Putin has just ordered the Russian Medteranian Fleet to cooperate and assist the French Navy against ISIS, after it was confirmed by the FSB that the Sinai crash was indeed caused by a Islamic terrorist.
1 hour ago a unknown number of Russian submarines have fired a volley of Klub LCAMs off the Syrian coast to ISIS stronghold in Raqa.

It sounds interesting and all but do you have any links?
>>27908675
Russian Mediterranean Fleet doesn't exist. And this is unlikely to happen without NATO approval. And I am sure that NATO will not approve it.
>>27910085
NATO isn't the UN, there doesn't have to be unanimous agreement for an action. NATO has no veto power.
I know this happened a long time ago, but I have just learnt this. Having been aware of this situation for a long time, following it, and even researching/discussing it as part of university projects. Never once have I seen reported or heard mentioned one crucial factor about this situation. The situation being Julian Assange and wikileaks leaking classified documents from the Iraq war, with footage in particular showing US military shooting a group of Iraqi men who were on foot, from a helicopter. What is left out of the coverage of this leak, is that the two main targets (assumed...

Nothing really separates the US federal government from the Israeli federal government in morality, hell you could even say that the Israeli government takes more actions to directly benefit their citizens than the US Fed does. Good Guys and Bad Guys have always been subjective concepts used primarily for propaganda and justifying actions that are things that would be more associated with "Bad Guys".
How do soldiers not go deaf? I thought that 9mm was loud, but I shot Mauser today and that shit is LOUD even through fuckhueg protectors. And during war everybody is shooting left and right, how come people come back from that hearing anything.
If modern soldiers have hearing protection, what about World War 1/2? What about Wild West?
>>27908663
It's actually pretty goddamn hard to go deaf. Tinnitus is easy to acquire, and while it is a paieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it certainly doesn't make you completely deaf all the time.
>>27908663
Guys in the mil use plugs, and they work a hell of a lot better than ear muffs. No reason not to use both if you're worried about your hearing though
Shot a black powder musket the other day without ear pro (didn't know I was going to do it, assumed it wouldn't be toooo loud)
Fuck me. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
makes me wonder how red coats fucking survived volley fire. "Fire! *Boom* COR FUCKIN BLIMEY GUV OY CARNT ERE SHITE, FOOKIN ELL LADS BAYONETE EM"
Hey /k/
I'm starting basic with the Royal Marines (Europoor) in 6 days. Any tips from ex-bootnecks/ soldiers to make life a little easier and avoid beastings? Pretty confident in my phys if they do come up though.
Also, I have to hand wash all kit. Any tips on what detergent to use so my hands don't get fucked up?
>>27908528
>what detergent to use so my hands don't get fucked up
You just get your nails did, sister?
>>27908616
Yeah, they're gorgeous. the nasty PTIs won't make me cut them off will they?
On a level though, I quite like my callouses and imagine they'll make rope climbs, pull ups, assault course etc. easier.
Fill your canteens right to the top and scar your name in to eveything.
So, I've seen a lot of memes involving me overhere, the swing guy, so, AMA!
Meanwhile, let's drop some real operator love here.

/k/, do you belong to a state milita?

What's /k/'s suggestion for carrying when dressed up? I'm on my way to a funeral this morning and found that all my current CC options print pretty badly or just don't work with my suit (which is pretty fitted). Any advice welcome
eat a fucking dick
just carry a small .380 on you somewhere in the best way possible, the truth is that even if you print badly, nobody will assume that it is a gun, there are a million and one other things that that little bump could be. Don't even think about it

Found this old Winchester 1901 in grandpa's wardrobe, it's not really in the best condition, quite rusty. I have no idea with guns, let alone pricing them, how much do you think this old one is worth like this? More pictures soon.
>>27908162
maybe take pictures with something other than potato, so we can easier see the condition it's in?
>>27908162
Any idea on the year of manufacture?
Also it looks like a Winchester 90, not a 1901

Might be the same gun.
Price gets pretty high if it's in good condition. 1000+
