Are there any tactical benefits whatsoever to wood stocks, or are they completely obsolete?
>>29797627
Wood stocks are obsolete. Fiberglass composites are tougher in every way, can be lighter and of course you can throw lead in there if you want it to be heavier.
>>29797627
None that this anon can think of. Weight for bludgeoning as compared to normal polymer, maybe.
>>29797627
Tactical? No. Strategic? Possibly depending on available resources.
Anyone know much about/have experience with them?
>>29797428
The country relies more on a coalition of commonwealth cucks to defend itself versus major attacks. Though anyone attacking singapore is off his rocker.
Anyway the military is for civic shit only. Though the navy does pirate patrol in nearby waters.
>>29797428
flew with some Singaporean pilots at IFF, hung out with their WSO's at Pensacola. they all seemed pretty switched-on. they only send their best to the US. i've heard their debriefs are crazy - "YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR FAMILY KILLED AND YOU BRING SHAME TO THEM" when they inevitably screw up.
>>29797428
Did an exercise with their Navy. Hung out with a couple of the officers when we pulled in for the port visit. Pretty chill guys. Had chili crab with them. Seemed like only the chinks were officers and all the enlisted were poo in loos and Maylay.
I'm looking for an IWI Jericho 941 (or 941 R), specifically the full-steel version with the slide-mounted safety/decocker.
Where in the ever-loving hell can I find pic related? I've been looking everywhere, but all I can manage to find is their new shitty polymer lower version, or the all steel with the frame safety. Apparently the version I'm looking for is a current porduction model, but I'll be damned if I can actually find anything on it.
there were a bunch of surplus ones on gunbroker for 300-400 about 2-3 years ago. I bought one then. Supposedly JIDF polis guns
>>29797373
I knew about those, but it was prior to me gaining the ability to own a handgun. Any idea if these really are current production?
>>29797354
Look for the Baby Eagle by magnum research. You'll have to get one used, all the new ones in the US are with the frame mounted safety (which is better so I have no idea why you want the slide mounted safety one).

Novice shooter here. I'm thinking about getting a smith & Wesson M&P 40. What do you think about trigger safeties VS thumb safeties? I own a sig which has no safety and it's one less thing is have to worry about in the event of an emergency so I see the appeal of a trigger safety I guess. But I hear it fucks with a trigger pull. What are your thoughts /k/?
>>29796944
The thumb safety is a redundancy in this kind of handgun. If it was a DA/SA handgun, you might want it to carry cocked and locked, but on a striker-fired gun like the M&P, it's just another thing to prevent you from firing the gun when you might need to fire it to save your life.
IF you're a safety Sally, go ahead and buy it, but train with it. If you know how to use your brain, it's a useless vestigial device.
>>29796944
>I'm thinking about getting a smith & Wesson M&P 40
Terrible choice
>>29796998
i also wouldnt get one in 40, but i guess im just bias against the caliber in general.
i went out of my way to find one without a thumb safety.
I did a thing /k/omrades...

10" or more of eye relief on a shitty mount. congrats. you're a bubba.

It looks ugly and there are much better choices for rifles to do what you did.
Enjoy your rifle.
>>29796855
CZ 75 SP01 Shadow for Production (which is gay)
CZ IPSC STANDARD 40sw for Standard division
Remington 1911R1 45ACP for Classic Division
S&W 625 5" 45ACP for Revolver Division
and a couple rifles and shotgun for the long gun divisions
but you won't find many competition shooters on /k/

I used an M&P core in .40. Good times were had

I have a few bullet related questions for /k/.
The first is about home defense; should I go for 9mm, 22lr or 45 ACP? Where I live I can get 22lr and 9mm in hollow point but not 45 ACP. Obviously I wanna kill the guy but I live in an apartment so I don't need an over-penetrating bullet that'll kill m neighbor.
The second is game related; 30-06 or 308 for deer and bear? Can one rifle do it all or should I get 2? If one rifle can do both which caliber is the cheapest?
>>29796838
>The first is about home defense; should I go for 9mm, 22lr or 45 ACP?
5.56
>>29796845
I do love 5.56, I was in the army for a while so I handle it well too, but I want something that my wife could handle. I'm adamant about a handgun.
Go 9mm. Has a 50% chance of stopping with one shot. So 2 shots.... 100% goner
Han Solo, a known racist who dislikes Rodians with a passion, shot dead in cold blood this poor, young Rodian male who did nothing wrong and was getting his life on track. We demand that the District Attorney for Tattoine launch a criminal investigation and seek justice for this senseless murder and hate crime.

Would spiral shaped bullets be any better than plain bullets?
>>29796517
Spiral bullets? As in bullets with rifling on them?
>>29796532
I think that's what he means.
Were lever rifles commonly used by Murican troops in combat during WWI? If they were how effective were they compared to bolt action rifles and if they werent common the why not?
>>29796278
Not that I know of but the russians did. Try looking into that.
But overall they're inferior to bolt actions.
>>29796278
No, but they were used by Canadian troops(specifically the Frog units in Quebec that never deployed) during WW1, and by "Canadian Coastal Rangers" in British Columbia during WW2.
Lever actions aren't as good as bolt actions for actual combat because they don't shoot from prone as well.
>>29796304
>But overall they're inferior to bolt actions.
If you're goal is rapid fire while maintaining sight picture during a period of time were semi-automatic rifles were complete dogshit or non-existant then they certainly had their place.
My friend is writing a paper about why we should decrease military spending in the us. What are some actual articulate reasons otherwise?
>>29796258
Because the quality of life you enjoy is ensured by a powerful military keeping the sea lanes free.
>>29796258
Because there are better ways to redistribute wealth than to hand it out as military contracts.
