Congratulations. You took a potentially live munition out of an old army depot, and presumably took it home with you.

This may be a better question for /his/ but did any footsoldier in history actually ever use a two handed sword for pitched battles? (ie not single combat) It seems like there is no advantage over a spear/shield or sword/shield, as it's much harder to defend yourself and you don't have anything to stop projectiles. Why are they a thing today?
basically, ( to my understanding, of course) most swords in Europe were designed to be used as one hand swords, but also as two handed swords. If you really had to smack someone, use both hands.
Dedicated two handed swords however? not sure. It would be easier to cleave through armor with a massive two hand broadsword than a one handed blade tho.
>>29930845
IIRC, they used them to cleave through lines of pikes and shit
I might be wrong though

Doppelsöldner, basically pike destroyer.
>there is no advantage over a spear/shield or sword/shield
With full armor there is little need for shield.
>Why longsword
Longer reach, but with versatility of a sword.
I'm looking to buy a full-sized, metal framed 9mm handgun. Budget of ~$1000. I've never had a pistol before, but I have an AR15. What does /k/ recommend?
Pic somewhat related.

Go to a fun store, handle them, see what fits best in your hand.

Because information delivered via first post just can't be valid.
There are various oldish things that are not mentioned. or "militr.. no. let's stick with there being something old not mentioned. do ask if you would prefer higher price with worse results, but with "history" n shizzles.
From what I've seen, /k/ sides with the person filming.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynARIUDll-0
The guy with the gun should never have displayed it if he didn't intend to kill, plus he would probably request a bill of sale, and he didn't immediately draw and double tap into the head
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynARIUDll-0
The only reason why the guy with the dog flashed his gun was because he was an irresponsible gun owner (who insists on a bill of sale, lmao fucking dumb fudd) who is insecure around public protesters.
both of them are retarded.
i have and love my dogs.
walking them on grass in the sun is fine so long as you take breaks and have lots of water on hand - this is why the cameraman is wrong.
you should never, ever, ever show or draw your gun on someone unless they are a credible, real threat to your/others' safety. this is why the man being filmed is wrong.

What would happen to you if you walked into a warzone as a PMC/Merc and you came across U.S military forces or any foreign military force for that matter that you particularly side with? Or you went to some third world shit hole and instead of being a "volunteer" for their army couldn't you just jump in as a PMC/merc? Why do you need to be part of a company to operate?

We all are heading that direction. When will you get there? How will you know? What issues will you be fuddy on?
>me
>probably in the next decade
>I will know cause /k/ will tell me
>I'll be fuddy about caseless/CT ammo, I just don't think I'll think its as interesting as brass cased ammo.
>>29930638
Most of /k/ doesn't even know what the term "fudd" is even about.
>>29930638
I was born fudd.
>Only semi-auto is an m1 garand
>Probably not going to change any time soon
When I get deep into precision rifles I'll probably develop a latent "why would you need that" attitude towards AR's and the like.
But I won't ever go full fudd and start arguing for bans.

Literally and I mean LITERALLY, what is your fucking excuse?
>>29930509
Because in a night time home defense scenario my eyes are likely to be better adapted to the dark than the intruder's and turning on the light before you have the target in front of you just lets them know you're coming.
>>29930526

I'm trying to research suppressed firearms for home defense on my own, but I keep finding two things totally at odds.
First I'll read about how it's such a great idea to use suppressed+subsonic for all the obvious reasons, then I'll read about how subsonic ammo... is terrible for home defense?
Still looking into it myself, just wondering what /k/'s thoughts are.
>>29929993
If you're gonna go suppressed for HD build an 8 inch SBR in .300 blk and suppress that. Otherwise stick with 75gr Hornady TAP.
>>29929993
>just wondering what /k/'s thoughts are.
Suppressed 9mm ar15 or even better, 300blk
>literally what is putting earpro on your rifle's stock
>>29929993
If you want to operate operationally with a suppressed weapon you need subsonic.
If you're just trying to avoid getting the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE from firing a few shots in self defense, don't bother reducing your firepower.
So, I know .22LR is a pretty shitty defensive round, but what about .22 Mag out of something like pic related or similar?
Would running it with Hornadys make for a decent defensive carbine?
I have better funs with better rounds, but I'm curious what you guys think.
.45 ACPs are good shit though, you could have funwith a vectoe
>>29929964
Good luck finding one.
>>29930038
Not OP but last month my LGS has like 3 of them on the rack. wanted 5-600 for them I think. Was there recently but I wasn't looking for these so I don't know if they've still got em
Thinking of buying a lapua 338. What do you guys think?
I think you should get it only if your planing on taking out an elephants engine block from 1000 yards.
>>29929687
i think you like reloading for a gun chambered in 5 dollar bills

COfag here. I decided to make a variation of my state flag to express my desire to remove kebab.
Maybe I can make some patches or stickers with it, I dunno, Gonna post a bunch of other stupid shit I made.
Feel free to request shit and I'll see if I can make it.

Where can 30 round rebuld kits be bought? Also, do a communist style flag for Boulder.
Hey /k/, are there any more of these floating around?
Any guns that you think should be on these?

Miculek says weaver stance is shit. What does /k/ think?
>>29929101
Almost anyone credible says the same thing. To be honest the only people still arguing for weaver are clueless fudds.
>>29929101
it's shit.
it's inconsistent to get into, inconsistent in applying pressure on the gun, and inconsistent in how it tracks under recoil. isosceles is superior in every regard.
whatever works for you chief
i use weaver for target shooting, always have. learned to shoot w/ long guns so it was natural to have a slightly canted stance
