God tier tactical flashlights/brands. No custom pocket jewelry. I love me Hanko as much as the next but I'm not gonna use that shit in a SD scenario unless it's my last option. I'll take a momentary Elzetta or Surefire before my custom lights.
Surefire, Elzetta, TLR, Wilcox That about all I would use.

Are there any non Americans on /k/ anymore? I swear this boards like 95% American gun owners now, we used to have a really diverse board but now we only have a handful of Australians and that one Bosniak with the grenades.
Maybe I'm just being a mopey cunt, but I feel like this boards gone down hill. We lost all our cool tripfags like squid, even /pol/ has a better /sg/ thread now that plague doctor up and left.
Just I feel we're a bit too centric around American gun culture, and it's been shitting up the board a bit.
>>30090839
I just remember when we used to have an actual culture for this board, but its gotten so politically correct and the mods are bloody trash here.
just kind of miss the old threads like with those Iranian soldiers, or the stupid little how to projects every now and again.

> What's this thread about?
As usual this thread is for the discussion and pics of tracked and wheeled AFVs of all kinds from MBTs to supertanks to self propelled AA guns. Please keep it civil and cite sources for statistics.
It was during the War of Attrition in 1969 against Egypt, Jordan and Syria that the IDF recognised its lack of parity the new T-62. Engagements after 1948 had decisively highlighted the importance of closing this gap. In 1970, after much haranguing of the Defense Minister Moshe Dayan by the Finance Minister, approval was belatedly given for an indigenous tank programme to be spearheaded by the formidable Major General Yisrael “Talik” Tal. With only a $100 million USD R&D and production, Tal was given three specific directives; to ensure a quality modern MBT, ensure arms embargoes would not impact Israeli armour supplies and be developed to Israeli standards and needs. In 1971, active development commenced on the “Merkava” with a skeleton crew of handpicked personnel, with the overarching concern of crew protection and quality in practice, as opposed to a cheaper, but less capable retrofit of older vehicles. The mass devastation of the tank corps in the 1973 war more or less demanded that the precious few Merkavas that could be produced were superlative compared to its Soviet counterparts. The Merkava that resulted was notable for its generously dimensioned interior and a resilient disposition, with good mobility over rugged terrain. Protection was excellent, spaced armour, the dispersal of interior systems, storage of ammunition under the turret ring with isolated inflammables and its angularly slim silhouette culminating in a supremely sturdy tank. Its unveiling in 1979 would be a prelude to a fine legacy of Israeli tank design to the present day.

OP: As always, feedback, suggestions wanted and appreciated.
While the humble Merkava Mark I might not be as impressive today, especially in comparison to its younger peers, military attaches and observers on both sides of the wall were taken aback at the unveiling in 1979. In particular, a parade demonstration of an infantry dismount from the Merkava’s rear hatch was an acute surprise to many. Of course, utilising the Merkava in this fashion would have necessitated the removal of much extra ammunition, but...

More tank news, as per the new format.
If you have more queries regarding a news story, just point it out, and I’ll further elaborate and provide links.
Finnish state-owned enterprise Patria, of AMV fame, has announced that it intends to privatise a portion of its business by selling it to Norway’s Kongsberg. The deal is estimated to be worth some $316 million USD and involve 49.9 percent of Patria Oyj.
Finland has additionally announced intentions to purchase a new 155 mm self-propelled howitzer...

I know that all of the evidence has yet to be released, but I wanted to know what you guys think. Are the police becoming too militarized? If so, what changes could be made?
>>30089250
>How to stop it?
Hang all department chiefs who request such gear.
Turn over SWAT teams to the governor. Mandatory trials for all police shootings/deaths
Public hanging for any/all offenses and infractions of police officers.
No union protection for officers under investigation or charged with a crime.
The police can be as militarized as they damn well please as long as the citizenry are allowed the same. It's not what equipment they have, it's their willingness to use it. When the government has disarmed the people the police will gladly go around shooting whoever they feel like because they know there will be no repercussions to their actions because they have a monopoly of force. But in an armed society if the police go around shooting people for no good reason they're going to end up getting shot right the fuck back at, which means they'll put a lot...

>1946. Months after the end of WW2 in europe. The lines have been drawn. The west has a major advantage in the form of nuclear weapons.
Why didn't we press the attack and at the very least push Russia back to it's pre WW-2 borders? It doubt that iymt would have taken more than three years.
Could it have been done before the first succesful Russian nuclear test in 1949?

Also, could someone post a bigger picture of 1946 Europe? My phone keeps dowloading the thumbnail for some reason.

I see a lot of "EDC" threads, but how exactly does /k/ /k/arry? People rarely
include info on their belts, or what type of clothing they might wear when concealing.
What works for you? Does your line of work or sense of style interfere with how,
or what you carry? I'll share mine and give some feedback on my holsters and
such. Try to include photos if you share, this is an image board after all. Or at least
some detailed information about what you like or don't like about equipment currently you use,
or have used. This may help your...

I know appendix carry isn't for everyone. I like it because I feel the draw is efficient from many positions, such as sitting down, even in a vehicle with a seatbelt on. This holster keeps the pistol pressed against my body snuggly, it really doesn't print. Bending over does not hurt my stomach because the pistol sits very low, bending over also does not cause printing like a 4:00 carry would.

3) Not sure how useful this picture is. I'm wearing pretty tight jeans in all these shots.
>just for you
I work at a network operations center, and visit data centers and other facilities in my area. These places are filled with Bernie-voting noguns liberal numales, but somehow do not have no-firearms policies. I dress casual, usually a button-down shirt and jeans and have so far remained undetected.
One thing about appendix carrying at work is, I can't use urinals at work really. Gotta use that stall, in case I try to show someone my penis but accidentally let them see my pistol.
