A buddy of mine works at a local gun shop and I talked to him today when I stopped by during my lunch hour to buy some .22 ammo. I checked out some ammo deals they had (they had a spam can of 54R for a decent price) and when I asked him about .45acp, he showed me a few boxes of PMC or some shit like that. He then told me that 99% of .45ACP purchases are made by guys over 40. He said that none of the younger people either buy .45ACP guns or ammo.
WTF happened? Is .45ACP dying?

Only gun I myself own is a 45 acp, but we have a reloading press so I don't buy rounds

It doesn't have street cred.
9mm, a 10mm, and a .45acp. Someone invented 10mm and put all the others out of business. 10mm is so popular they make 10mm lite (.40S&W)
woodland is a fine camo.
unless you are selling camo to the USA military.

Nice thread champ. Now try putting it on, your human silhouette is what needs to be camouflaged and M81 does a poor job of breaking up the silhouette.

Let's talk strategy games. Things like CMANO, Graviteam Tactics, Wargame, Total War, etc etc.
Sidenote: If anyone else play GT:Mius Front, how the hell do I attack things like towns/trenches without losing such massive amounts of men? It always eventually becomes a slog that eats up 3/4 of my forces.

Lots and lots of fire support. Make sure you have fire superiority before you close in, and when you do, bring the tanks in close.
Realistically, the best solution is not to fight in them at all. Cut them off and make them waste their supplies before attacking.

I like Wargame, play a match here and there. Deck construction is tricky.
I have a question why has there not been a push to create bullpup long range semi automatic rifles.
I know they are a bit more maintenence heavy, but wouldit not have more positives such as better balanced if firing from kneeling to standing positions. As well as the fact that you could put a 20-25 inch barrel on it and still keep it smaller than standard 16 inch rifles?
>>30158353
Look up kel-tec rfb. I know keltec is a meme brand but they have made what youre describing.
The bulk of long range shooting is done by people who enjoy working with equipment that they are used to. They haven't been exposed to such weapons previously, are unlikely to encounter them in the hands of other shooters and are unwilling to part with their money for a product that they aren't familiar with.
As such, there are comparatively less companies producing them because they know the market is small.
>>30158580
I'm guessing the reason the military hasn't adopted them is the cost to manufacture

How do yall make your smokes survive the field/innawoods excursions. Tips, tricks, advice, fieldcraft, etc to protect an essential survival resource?

Quit smoking
SA80 pistol grips have a lovely little compartment, you're supposed to use them for important shit like your combitool or some rifle cleaning supplies but most use it for emergency battle fags stayed nice and dry and free from dirt in there, snug like a bug
When do you realize you were interested in Firearms?

That's a man, baby.
My friend offered to sell me an overpriced AUG look-alike and I took it.

Never. Firearms are boring, I'm here for military tech.

Of course we wouldn't have it dogfight in hypersonic speed, cause it could outrun its bullets,
So what if we used jet assisted take off engines to get the damn thing off the ground and then use the rocket propulsion engine for hypersonic speed.
What problems do we face and how could we fix them? Looking for advice from /airforcebois/ and /aerospaceengineers/

Dude that's awesome.
Why didn't he eject?
>>30157861
Because he said he was going to make stay and make sure it didnt crash into surrounding neighborhoods
>>30157861
He couldn't. He was flying american trash. Poor guy.

This.
The F-18 is trash and by now, so old it will fall apart by just looking at it wrong. An ancient relic from the Cold War era.
Ok /k/, this stupid ATF july deadline is coming up and I am thinking about subscribing to the meme that is 300 blackout.
Is it really as quiet as people say where the action cycling is the loudest part? I already have a ti-rant 45 that was not terribly impressive (it was quiet enough to shoot, but I would not want to shoot 300 rounds in one setting).
Basically, is suppressed subsonic 300 Blackout actually good if I wan't something fun and quiet to shoot? If so, how is the Griffin Armament Alpha? I can get a decent deal on one if it's worth the dosh.
Please tell me you aren't shooting without earpro
>>30157682
That would be my question. Can suppressed subsonic 300 blackout be considered hearing safe?
Anyone?
So i got into an argumentbon ifunny on whether or not the Red Army of 45 was better than the German army at its height. I believe the Red Army wad vastly superior... What do u guys think?
>>30157648
That fanboys should be put to sleep.
>>30157648
Without American steel and supply, the red army wouldn't have done shit
>>30157648

Furthermore, had the German Army attacked Russia first and in full strength, then the Red army would have suffered severe humiliating defeat and folded faster than Frenchmen at a poker game.
Demons have started swarming your city!
You only have five minutes to prepare your defense or your offense. What do?
Grab my rifle, some ammo, food, water, a sleeping bag, and a jerry can. Jump in my side by side and get the fuck out of dodge.
I ain't fightin no demons.
>>30157594
>5 minutes
That's not good at all. I'd probably do my best to retreat while attempting to identify the demons based on my years of wasted studies on the occult and roleplaying.
The existence of demons would be kind of neat, since it opens the possibility of the divine and/or magic. Also, I'd have no idea how vulnerable they are to conventional arms. If they're like, honest to goodness brimstone demons that can survive in lava conditions, bullets aren't...

If demons manifest in a physical form on Earth, wouldn't they have to abide by the laws of physics? That is to say, would they not be vulnerable to conventional munitions?

As a result, the soldiers faced no disciplinary measures, according to hundreds of pages of Defense Department documents obtained...

Yeah I still don't care. The ends justify the means in this case. We're at war, and killing people happens. Sometimes it bad guys, sometimes it's not so bad guys, sometimes when it's not so bad guys other not so bad buys become bad guys and we have to kill them, too.
Basically, shit happens, but if we started tossing our very small amounts of SOF guys in prison for killing not so bad guys every once in a...
