Dear /K/
I recently received a large amount of Cabela's gift cards as a bonus at my job. Yes, I am a lucky little shit. Yes, I despise Cabela's but I ain't gonna say no.
I have one of just about everything at this point. Honestly, just way too much. I love handguns and I am simply bored with most normal things. I also cast and/or handload everything.
What would you get (first) if you had the choice of only these 4 guns?
A. Stainless Deagle in .50 AE with muzzle brake. (Power, meme gun, funny as hell, can't hunt with it in PA, gas system hates non-jacketed bullets, non-IMI gun)
B. Ruger Super Blackhawk in .454 (More power, reliable, can hunt with it, probably indestructible, a bit fudlike, ouch that grip)
C. 4" S&W 500 Magnum (Even more power, reliable, awesome muzzle flash, awesome chest thump, massive recoil, wide array of loads, can hunt elephants, semi-meme gun)
D. Same as above but the 8 3/8 barrel. (Most power, high velicity, better at stabilizing heavier bullets, better sight radius, probably able to reach out farther with the sights, more controllable, heavy)
Thoughts? I like power and have plenty of big bore hand cannons. I am curious about what most people would choose here and why.
>>30214185
Give me your address OP, I've got plenty of power and you'll have a big bore when I'm done with you.
.460 S&W Mag
>>30214237
I know this is the logical choice. I just hate logic.
Nice thing is that I already shoot and reload for .454.

(back story.)
My father retired from the 101st Airborne as a Captain. So my entire life has been nothing but military
And LE stuff. For ex. He would come into my room, destroy it, make me clean it and then destroy it again; just to make sure I knew what the fuck I was doing. He’s trained me from tactical operations, severe trauma wounds, extensive firefight (He’s a prepper as well. Fuck you.) and the essential breathing you need to control your adrenaline whilst under extreme pressure.

>Get in, they have my gear in a box in the center cab of the MRAP
>Load up, make sure my magazines are checked. Double check. Good to go
>Get to the F.O.B. and set up my quarters
>Hear something unusual coming from the back of the barracks
>Grab my I.S.F. weapon – which is a scavenged RPK with 600 rounds – three 200 rounds drum mags.
>Light a cigarette and start to low jog under the hescos to a point where I can find the music
(Have more if you guys want the rest.)
Keep going.
>200 round drum mag
dont bother with the rest

this sounds like a load of utter bollocks
Is there a minimum enlistment length for new officers? Can an officer serve for a few years and get out like enlisted personnel?
10 years or longer as required by the United States government.
>>30214044
Lies. Do your research, OP. Call recruiters, read the fine print, etc...
Officers don't have "enlistments" dumbass
There is endless shilling about optics out there, but I'm reading reviews wherein EOTech stuff is getting yanked for Chinese stuff.
Good warranty Chinese stuff, but IDK.
A disturbance in the force, or whatever.
Opinions, /komrades/ is it a meme?
I'm also seeing shat about using their magnifiers as a replacement for domestic widgetst, but that's probably worth its own thread.
tl:dr: WTF?!?
>issue a full refund for your products on account of them being overpriced junk
>wonder why people don't want to use them any more
>>30214013
Go aimpoint or Trijicon
It's the only way
Unless night force
Vortex makes good stuff for a good price. That's all there is to it.
This is the FV3034, better known as the Challenger 2
What do you think?
I'm British and I HATE it

>fucked up special armour layout
>british so all the fucking britboos suck its dick
good things:
the suspension
I don't even think it looks cool
and by fucked up special armour layout I mean leaving the lower glacias un armoured entirely what the FUCK
leopard 2 armours both
Abrams armours only lower, but atleast the upper doesn't look retarded as hell with that channel down to the driver periscope

You act like being from the same place as it somehow makes you an expert in it

Primitive weapons thread...
This is a rabbit stick: this was how primitive people's killed small game in the Atlatl days (ice age and on) before the bow took over as the hunting tool of choice.
Here's a "primitive weapon" for ya *grabs crotch*
>>30213562
How are you supposed to use it?
>>30213604
It's a thrown tool.
Throw it horizontally at target, get dinner.
Every place on the planet has developed and used these
I have been looking into buying my first assault rifle, and I found these parts kits.
Now I'm a very technically inclined person, so putting together a gun is no problem- but I'm seeing all this stuff involving demilling, self-manufactured receivers, and other things that just seem too complicated, can I get some help as an explanation. You can use this post as a thread for kit guns too.

>salt rifle
You're going to need more than just skills, especially for aks.
>>30213553
Explain?
O lawdy /k/, look what Santa brought me for fathers day this year...

I'm looking for a good carry weapon
what are some of /k/'s favorite everyday carry weapons?
>>30213165
Excited to try out the Shield 45 once its released. if anything like the xds or g36 I'll probably pick one up
>>30213165
Can't go wrong with a Glock. I personally CC a Kel-Tec PF9, which is nice as well. Kahr sub-compacts are pretty popular as well. But ask 10 different /k/ommandos and get 10 different answers. Anything reliable that you're accurate with is a good choice.
Look at this handgun's beauty.
>>30212915
Because little white guns can't compete with BIG BLACK GUNS
>>30212915
Just a can of spray paint away anon
Because common finishes don't come in white. And they're harder to keep pristine, like a white car. Just get a white cerakote if you want one so bad, it's not hard
Hey /k/
I'm at university doing a forensic science elective. Just had an exam that I almost got 100% on, but fucked up on 1 question single question.
The question was
>True or False: Rifling is a series of helical lands and grooves along the length of the gun barrel that improves the trajectory of a bullet.
For some reason, I thought rifling was specifically for accuracy, and I thought accuracy and trajectory were two different things. That said I am still a little confused. Is this question worded correctly or am I just being a dumb shit?
>>30212830
you can always ask the professor/test proctor for clarification. and it helps both.
>>30212830
>helical
False because only glock does this, everyone else is normal.
>>30212830
It's an oddly phrased question, but if you said false I understand why you got it wrong.
Think about it this way: Rifling does improve the trajectory of a bullet. If there was no rifling the trajectory would be shit.
