Anybody know what this was used for?
Found it in an old World War 2 airfeild.
Not entirely sure, but I've practically grown up in my dad's industrial production, that just looks like any old make shift table for welding or grinding
>>30476515
It is a frame used to dry vienna sausages on.
Vienna sausages were important to the war effort.
^this, notice the bits of dripped molten metal on the lower rungs.
Opinion on the first assault rifle and how it would fair against a modern assault rifle
300-600m effective range
685m/s muzzle velocity
7.92x33mm Kurz
30 round magazine
It's very pretty

AK ripoff
:^)
>Not implement early enough to make a difference
It would do fine. The ammo is comparable to 7.62x39 which is still in use and gets the job done. The only downside I know of is the weight, 10lb, which is not horrible, just more than typical rifles now.
In case you missed it, Syrian rebels located a cache of StG-44s and used them in battle.
Can a person become shell shocked in a modern conflict? especially in the usual skirmish beetween a modern military against a less advanced opposing force?
>>30476284
A conflict when anything could be a bomb is pretty traumatising.
>>30476284
>Can a person become shell shocked in a modern conflict?
As far as I'm aware, "shell shock" is what we now call PTSD.
shell shock is just a form of ptsd that you get when you was in narrow space when you got the disorder.
So yes, it could happen but only if you would fight in a trench or another DFP where you cant get enough stress release by walking around
Interesting article on WW1 tunnellers.

Read that last night before I went to bed, bretty gud article.
They were saying in the Telegraph (or rather on the Telegraph's website, haven't bought a paper in years) that we still have EOD guys there today. At their current rate, locating and destroying about 1,000kg of explosives a week, they reckon it's going to take another five HUNDRED years until the entire place is clear.

What are the two large blocks on either side?
>>30476153
counterweights
>>30476153
IIRC they're barrel weights, I could be talking out of my ass though
>>30476153
weights to counter recoil, fast reacquisition of the target.
Hey /k/, I've been thinking about my grandfather's old war stories and naturally, I wanted to ask you guys about his guns.
For context, I don't have exact dates but he fought for 2 years in a war that lasted from 1948 to 1960, and he would've been 18 (and hence in national service) in 1952, so presumably all weapons mentioned would've been slight improvements on their World War II models.
Anyway, what's /k/ opinion on these guns?
1) American M2 carbine - my grandfather sung the praises of this gun. Was he right? If I'm not mistaken, the M1 is considered to be top-tier.
2) German Luger (pistol) - this almost got him killed (an SAS lad had to save him), are they really shit-tier? The story goes that even after he had the guys at the barracks check it, it still fucking jammed on him. If memory serves, even war films portray this weapon as utter shit (e.g. Band of Brothers has it fire in a man's pocket and kill him). Was it really that bad?
>>30476054
What country are you from...?
>>30476054
M2 carbines are pretty much the predecessor of all PDWs, they're pretty solid but get a bad rap
lugers are craftsman pistols, they're intended to be hand fit and can be a little bit picky with what they eat and probably won't handle a lack of maintenance as well as other handguns

>but get a bad rap
Why?
>probably won't handle a lack of maintenance as well as other handguns
Fair enough, do they have much of a reputation of /k/?
I have about 2k
What is the best gun to blow my brains out?
Also how many hits of acid shall I take beforehand?
>>30475660
Go to bed, junior.
88mm flak.
>>30475660
>Drop acid before killing yourself
>Do it in as pleb a way as shooting yourself
I'd tell you to kill yourself but you're clearly not worth it. Maybe consider cutting your wrists for attention instead.
What years were considered the Golden age of Mercs/PMCs?
An era or decade where you could fight in a conflict for good money and go home without worrying about too much rules or regulations. A time defined by a warjunkie profiting from just about anything without repercussions.
30 years war.
1600s, in what would now be called germany.
France, sweden, the HRE, and free german city states in a 4-way knock-down-drag-out.

Good 'ol days after 9/11
Just got out of four years of studying physics. Does Sea Shepherd still do the whole naval terrorism thing? Because right now they look like the quickest way to live the /k/ommando dream, committing terrorism with mathematically perfect limpet mines and getting hippy chicks with my cerebral cortex but keeping them with my epididymis.
>>30475282
I wish a /k/ navy would happen.
>get mad dosh from slant whalers/shipping lines to clear anything that is disrupting business
As long as the show has been on I've wondered if the slantyeyed whale munchers would pay someone a pile (yes a literal pile) of cash to sign up for Sea Sheperd with a GPS transmitter in their bag/prison pocket if necessary.

The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
I'm in the Army Reserve in this state of California. I only get to shoot (qualify) once per fiscal year with my unit. I feel this is inadequate for myself... should I deploy again. I take it upon myself to train at the range and on BLM land. With this new legislation, I Iegitamately cannot train to standard (or to the level of proficiency required) as a private citizen and Reserve Soldier.
-How can I practice combat reload properly? Will I regress to my reload manner of using my key to drop a mag?
-How will I train myself to reload after 30 shots and not 10? Will I drop my mag early due to muscle memory from California? Will this kill me in a blue on green attack?
The militia is no longer well regulated to defend the state/nation
Do I have a case?
>>30475259
They literally do not give a fuck about about the constitution including the bill of rights.

Are they shit? They look nice at least.
>>30475226
>Are they shit?
We're not talking about the Eagle with 100+ kills at a cost of 0 Eagles over its lifespan.
We're talking about some shit that has literally never been through the crucible of combat, where things actually earn the title of "not shit" or "shit".
I don't care who the fuck you are, nobody goes from "what's a navy" to pumping out quality 5th generation aircraft in one step.
The US didn't get to develop the myriad of VLO/LO projects without taking the numerous steps to even get to the point where a 5th generation aircraft, capable and worthy of being produced in numbers, was feasible.
>>30475460
This, honestly
But just to be the devil's advocate.
Wasn't China balls deep into classified information a while back via hacking?
