Arent those weapons Sturmgewehr 44? How do they find them?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EsCle4ooM0
Old news. They got them off the Russians IIRC, who had containers full of captured ones since the 50s.

From Russia or leftover from Yogoslav wars. Primarily transferred from Hungary to Serbia and albania, so on and so forth. Arms trafficking and whatnot
They have actually seen some use during and after the Cold War, it's kind of cool to see such an old and dated workhorse being pulled out of storage to once again fight, even for a completely different cause and people.
It's a bit of a clunker even compared to an early AK or AKM, but hell, it still shoots, and Libyan and Syrian rebels have been seen to have the sense to actually fire their AKs in semi-auto, and that's the best way to use the old Sturmgewehr.
>>30154403
Wasn't there some Slav country which actually issued them after WW2 for a time? I think some of them came from there too.
But then there was of course the dissolution of Yugoslavia, where all kinds of old hardware got dredged up and used

I figured, her curves and breast bumps were noticeable before she took off the headgear

To much a blow to moral, will never happen.
Do you get to choose what field you would like to work in when joining the military? As in, Id like to be EOD, artillery crew member/mortarman, tank driver, etc. and they assign me to a unit and teach me? Or do they take me as property and assign where needed, maybe taking my previous education into account and putting me in a related field, even if I dont like it?
Depends on your country, in Aus you go to an aptitude interview and they tell you what you can do, you pick from that, so yes, you get some decision depending on country
>>30154183
It really depends on what country you live in.
If its the US you usually have a lot of options (depending on your qualifications) unless you get fucked by your recruiter and he signs you up for some dumb shit while telling you its great.
If its some place using whats in your pic then you are probably fucked.
If you are UK you pick when you go in, depending on the force you are going into you will either have 3 choices and they will try and get you in your first pick if not second etc. Or others you just pick a job and aslong as your psychometrics are good you'll get in.
I'd watch ot for hidden agendas in the afco though, I've heard of big bonuses if the recruiter gets you to join their area. So do your research and have a good idea of what you are after before you go in.
Also shop around a bit, I don't know if it is the same in other countries but in the UK if you like the sound of a job there are probably identical jobs in other services. For example forward air controller, specialist gunfire observer and the navy equivalent, I can't remember the name of it right now
I can't figure out what's happening to my firearms. I've got a gun rack built in my closet, and I leave my rifles hung up. Ever since I've done this, they've started to accrue this weird coppery powder over some of the metal parts of the gun (like the bolt on my Ruger 10/22 or the dust cover and trigger guard of my milled AK). It doesn't look like rust, and almost looks like a coppery dust that covers almost the entirety of the affected area. It wipes off with a towel or a sock, leaving normal, untouched metal behind
Is this rust? If so, what the hell can I do to prevent it?
>>30154181
That is called rust. Your storage is humid
Do you wipe the outside of your guns with a mineral oil before storing them? Maybe get a 5 dollar air dehumidifier and place it in the safe/rack/room.
>>30154196
I don't generally store them for long periods of time, maybe a couple of weeks between range trips. I don't wipe them down, should I? What oil would you use?
I'll grab a dehumidifier though. I mean it sounded a hell of a lot like rust, but it happens pretty quickly.
Just had my first negligent discharge after 6 years of owning guns, I guess I got too comfortable, it scared the fuck out of me, my ears are still slightly ringing and I'm still shaken up. The shit happens so fast, you don't even know what happens until it processes in your brain.
Has /k/ ever had an NG?
>>30154098
I had one two years ago, it shot through a wall, through all of my mlp plushes and hit a wire in the other wall and killed the electricity to the house.
>>30154098
Drill a hole in that case and wear it as a necklace, that shits your new good luck charm.
didn't blow your brains out today OP, have a beer and chill.
I had one. I was 13 and had been taught firearm safety since the age of 5. That day though, I was showing off my new rifle to a couple of friends and wanted to look cool. The round went off and hit the ground no more than six inches in front of my foot. I was scared and embarrassed. I learned my lesson.
Convince me not to buy an espada xl
>>30154075
its stupid big what are you going to use it for?
It's useless as an edc pocket knife because it's so big
It's not as good as a fixed blade of similar size due to the weakness of being a folding knife
It will sit on a counter collecting dust while your actual useful knives get used
>>30154075
well it depends, can you fit it up your ass?
please tell me this doesn't actually exist
this fucking mag looks so retarded
>>30154026
that one look like 75 round mag
Russia did make some 100 round prototype mag
>>30154039
>it looks like a 75 round mag
why the fuck would someone use that over the drum mag
>>30154026
You're probably thinking that's a rifle not a heavier barreled lmg where bigger mags make sense

Hello /k/, I'll keep it short.
I turn twenty tomorrow and plan on purchasing my first handgun.
After shooting dozens of rentals, I've narrowed the choice down to the following 3: Sig p220, H&K USP 9mm, or H&K USP 9mm Compact.
They are all sweet guns and I plan on carrying the one i buy until I at least get another from the list.
>>30153551
>twenty
Are you US? Because if you are you're going to have to wait another year hombre. If not, I'd get the P220 if you want a .45, or the USP for a 9mm (or if you want all 9mm recommendations, I'd suggest the Sig P226)
>>30153579
Shit twenty-one, my bad.
And the p220 is honestly my first choice. I plan on getting all 3 but I live in a cucked state that limits me to 1 handgun purchase per 30 days. Imy avoiding the p226 until I move back to a free state because the Cuckifornia compliant model is nerfed to shit.
Get the USP in .45
Then save up for one of these >>30153600
So what's /k/'s opinion on the Humvee's future replacement?
>>30153392
>So what's /k/'s opinion on the Humvee's future replacement?
It’s primary purpose is to soak the tax payers.
It cost a shit load of money yet is not as well protected as an MRAP and can’t carry jack-shit compared to a HMMWV, meaning both vehicles will still be needed, rendering the Oshkosh M-ATV pointless.
Money fo dem programs
>>30153392
I think it is the coolest MRAP in Arma 3.
Is chemical warfare the biggest meme?
It's never done shit except as a non-lethal deterrent for police actions or a way to kill tribals/civilians
