Good morning /k/ommandos. I would love some input. I am looking at making a sweet custom Glock for myself. But I am at a crossroads, do I go with the 17 or the 19? I already have a Gen4 Glock 19 that I want to keep stock.
>>30388563
buy a sig.

>I am looking at making a sweet custom Glock for myself.
Get the 320 chassis upgrade instead of buying a Glock from a store. Problem is that you won't be able to fit Glock's regular stuff on it but it's much better in every way from trigger, sights and ergonomics. Plus, you won't have to deal with that dumbass trigger safety Glock puts out.
>MFW I bought a .327 expecting it to take off.
What meme/snowflake calibers did you buy into?
.45 GAP
at least I live in Florida and the FHP uses it
I liked the looks and I didn't expect ammo to be THAT hard to find. Surplus is still available on GB in batches though.
It was 10MM for me
I still wish there was a /med/ board but I can understand why there isn't

A U.S. Air Force infographic on the F-35A’s deployment to Mountain Home Air Force Base revealed that the jet scored a 8:0 kill ratio against the F-15E during mock air combat.
The victories were clocked by combat-coded F-35As from Hill Air Force Base and were part of the evaluation process needed in order to declare the jet is initially operationally capable.
The seven jets and their pilots must also demonstrate they are able to carry out basic close air support and limited SEAD/DEAD missions.
For that, the crews were able to attain a 100 percent sortie generation rate with 88 of 88 planned sorties and a 94 percent hit rate with 15 of 16 GBU-12 bombs on target.

What would be a good standard rifle for a militia? I think the M44 would be a good candidate but they are becoming too expensive. So I was thinking the Chinese Type 53 and or any SKSs would be good options. Also what would be good tactics other than obvious ones like guerrilla warfare?
>>30388240
I heard gorilla warfare is effective
>>30388266
Thanks for the tip. FOR HARAMBE!
>>30388240
I'm not even an AR guy, but an AR would be perfect for a militia.
Interesting article. Joint ballistic missile defense test is the ultimate sign of close military relations.
>Russia and China learn from each other as military ties deepen
>Russia and China staged a bold new series of military manoeuvres last month. Not a single ship left port, nor did any tank fire up its engine. Instead, a team from China’s People’s Liberation Army sat with their Russian counterparts in Moscow, running a five-day computer simulation of a joint response to a ballistic missile attack.
>Held in the Central Research Institute of Air and Space Defence in the Russian capital, the drill “was not directed against any third country”, according to Russia’s defence ministry. But few were under any illusion that the “aggressor” in the simulation was anyone other than the US.
>The exercise — which analysts note involved sharing information in an extremely sensitive sphere — was highly significant because it indicated “a new level of trust” between the two former adversaries, says Vasily Kashin, an expert on China’s military at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow.
>“The ability to share information in such a sensitive area as missile launch warning systems and ballistic missile defence indicates something beyond simple co-operation,” he says.
>China and Russia fought a brief border war in 1969, but the end of the cold war and emergence of the US as the global military leader have seen them drawing closer as they seek to confront western military power.
>Few believe they will ever be close allies, as they were in the days of Mao and Stalin, but the policy of active co-operation appears to be deepening on a number of fronts. On Saturday Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to travel to Beijing where he will meet his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to discuss economic ties.
>>30388137
>But their most significant area of co-operation is the armed forces, say analysts, with military leaders in both countries increasingly looking to each other for lessons on how to counter a superior western enemy.
>Recent years have seen numerous weapons deals and joint exercises between the two, and experts say they have adopted remarkably similar strategies to reform and upgrade their militaries.
>President Xi Jinping’s reform of the People’s Liberation Army, launched in November 2013, is aimed at transforming the world’s largest fighting force from a land army equipped for mass ground battles to a lighter, nimbler, more high-tech force capable of winning in the air and sea.
>The strategy closely follows Russian reforms begun in 2009. Prompted by the Russia-Georgia conflict of August 2008, which Russia won easily but which exposed deficiencies in its army, Moscow kicked off an overhaul aimed at increasing professionalism and cutting the number of conscripts; streamlining command structures; and upgrading and modernising its arsenal.
>“They are doing away with the mass mobilisation force,” said Dmitry Trenin, of the Carnegie Moscow Centre think-tank. “Instead they plan to fight a war with a [professional army].”
>The lesson has not been lost on China. An article in the People’s Daily, the official Communist party mouthpiece, last October urged the PLA to use the Russian overhaul as a model for its own efforts.
>“You see that key aspects of Chinese reforms have been influenced by what the Russians did in the aftermath of the Georgia war,” said Tai Ming Cheung, a specialist on China’s military at the University of California, San Diego. “Russia’s experiences of dealing with a stronger western opponent [in the cold war] — those are very important lessons for China.”
>>30388140
>Beijing has long modernised its military by copying Russian weapons systems, but sanctions-hit Russia is now also sourcing parts and technology from China. In November, Russian officials said they would buy Chinese diesel engines for coastal patrol vessels, after being blocked from purchasing German equipment in 2014.
>In April, Moscow’s Izvestia newspaper quoted a senior Russian official saying the two countries were in discussions on exchanging Chinese electronic components used in spacecraft construction for Russia’s liquid-fuel rocket engine technology.
>First outlined in 2013 by President Xi, China’s military revamp has gathered pace. In February this year China replaced seven military regions with five military “theatres”, while last year Mr Xi announced the PLA would reduce troop numbers by 300,000. Troupes of dancers, drivers and other non-combat personnel are also being cut, and the army-dominated command system is being replaced with a joint command that will give the naval and air forces their own joint staff structure.
>“China has always been very pragmatic and they will take whatever they think works,” said Gary Li, a military expert at consulting company Apco in Beijing.
>>30388146
>The US has identified another common thread in Russian and Chinese strategy, says Mr Cheung: the use of “hybrid warfare”, a strategy that blends conventional and irregular warfare techniques. Russia deployed the strategy in its use of “little green men” — troops in unmarked uniforms — in its annexation of Crimea and, critics allege, to aid pro-Moscow rebels in eastern Ukraine, leaving opponents perplexed about how to respond and giving Russia time to consolidate gains.
>China’s strategies have included island-building in the contested waters of the South China Sea and the “use of civilian and coast guard vessels and even oil rigs to accomplish strategic objectives”, says Mr Cheung.
>“It’s about muddying the waters in order to push military objectives without crossing the threshold into a shooting war,” said Mr Cheung. “When US experts look at China’s island-building in the South China Sea compared with what Russians are doing in Ukraine, they see a lot of similarities.”

tl;dr
China and Russia are de-facto allies now.
So, I was thinking about how to make a true synthesis between the anti and our position on guns...or at least private sales.
The antis want, basically, to ban private sales...or at least force them to be done through an FFL.
We want the ease of going to armslist and doing an FTF transfer with bubba McFudd for his guns.
What if we were to add NICS status to driver's licenses and make it a felony to carry a license with the incorrect status? Changes of status would be notified to the carrier by mail from the state.
Then, you could make it a requirement for private sales to include a seller-maintained bill of sale that includes a photo of the buyer's DL.
This would basically make it so that everyone is carrying their background check on them, and provides something similar to the 4473 for records keeping.
It gets rid of unregulated private sales, but allows for the convenience of meeting bubba at walmart to buy a rifle.
Only gonna take one fake id. Also why does the state get to infringe on constituents rights?

great idea there anon what could go wrong?
Except for the whole fake licences like >>30388192 said and what is going to stop someone from buying a gun for someone else? Oh wait, nothing will, just like it always has. 2/10 you got some (you)s now go back to le ddit
>>30388192
>Also why does the state get to infringe on constituents rights?
what right is being infringed in this scheme that isn't already part of the current background check system?
>Only gonna take one fake id
If we're going to talk about ways to fuck the system, then we should just open a thread about how to build guns.
>Be welsh
>See Brexit results
No guns since Brit, what's the best weaponry I can get in the no-longer-so united kingdom?
just get a shotty
Also any guides on fortification in the case of riots would be great.
Still part of the uk sheep fucker. Just not the EU
RULE, BRITANNIA
BRITANNIA, RULE THE WAVES
BRITONS NEVER, NEVER, NEVER SHALL BE SLAVES
never shall own guns too
>>30388198
They can, but they have to go through more trouble to get one than we do to get a machine gun and then can't use it to defend themselves.
>>30388209
Yes they can, I remember a while back somw wanker got blasted with a 12gauge and lived and when the homeowner went to court magistrate said that if you get shot robbing someones flat you deserve it.
A 10mm should be 1/9th wider than a 9mm
A 9mm is the same diameter is a .380 and the 10mm is the same diameter as the .40
So a .40 should be 1/9th wider than the .380
.02 is 1/19th of .380
What the shit?
>>30387911
I suppose you think a .38 Special bullet is .38" too, hey dumbshit?
>>30387917
It was when they used to heel bullets
>>30387911
Fractions don't work that way, moron.
What will happen to the UK's military now that it has left the EU? Will it be reduced, increased or just be the same?
>>30387881
Britain stays in NATO, Brexit is literally irrelevant to British military.
why do brit carriers have that gay little ramp at the end? do pilots forget which way is up?
>>30387881
It will definitely reduce in size. The FTSE just dropped 500 points and the economy will be bad for a few years to come. The automatic option every time the economy shrinks is to reduce the armed forces. God knows what it is gonna happen with Gibraltar and the Falklands, perhaps the Argies and Spanish might try have a pop at them.
Which is annoying due to the fact I have just handed in my application for Sandhurst.
what's accurate and what's crap as far as 7.62x39 rounds? I normaly just get the cheap stuff, and what ive read on other forums seem to be random musings by fudds. what does /k/ approve?

For me, golden tiger definitely beat the hell out of silver bear.
IDK if I could have seen the difference if I wasn't running optics.
I feel like an idiot for buying another brand, waste of money and frustrating from round 1-500.

Australian here so I never got with guns all too often but my uncle had a couple sweet shooters.

I wasn't talking about your story when you were 10.
The rest makes me really question your mental health.

You dream about killing people being a hero and a real man for once in your life that's what I am talking about.
can someone explain to me the appeal of this thing?

but for 8 grand, I can get something different, which makes even more fun
>>30387666
Without full auto, it has zero appeal to me. It is essentially a super heavy AR.
>WOW, INDEPENDENCE DAY! NOW US BONGS GET GUNZ!
NO, you retarded piece of shit. Stop making threads about it, that's fucking retarded. The EU isn't some homogenous rulership, every country can obey the laws they want or not. It's still 75% your own government making the rules. That's why the Poles don't give a fuck about anything and only take EU money, they don't take refugees or regulate the size of their cucumbers.
IT'S NOT THE FUCKING EU THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR FUCKED UP GUN LAWS. In Germany, the Netherlands and France, people can (with some effort ofc) actually legally buy AR-15s. The reason for britbongs not being able to buy a fucking knife when under 18 is not the fucking EU, it's your own fucking government.
Also, the immigration won't stop now. It's not like you magically made Farage your king and changed the constitution. You're just out of EU. So, EU citizens will have to take a few more steps to immigrate. People from outside the EU will still be able to immigrate, no changes yet.
The fucking EU is mainly about economics. Now, everyone will have to pay duties when shipping stuff in and out the UK. Just for example.
Holy shit seriously, stop fucking believing by leaving the EU you're on the sunshine path now. It's not like that changes that much, especially not your gun laws.
I know, i know. But steel is heavier than feathers. Read some fucking shit about the EU before you start partying, you fucking britbong idiots of /k/.
