Mattis has been known to leave his PSD during F.O.B attacks and climbing or crawling into machine gun nest to get some with 18 19 year old marines.
Tells it like it is.
What bad has mattis done?

I found this weird object with some writing on it.Its very light with wire fins.Does anyone know what it could be ?
>>29778586
I dunno, play with it until it does something.
Watch out! That's highly explosive and in the service me and my mates called those the "baby killers" due to their brutality. I recommend calling 911 right away.

it's part of a rocket launcher

I need a 6 foot missile to kill a rebel fighter with a SVD w/ shitty scope thats probably been passed down from dead sniper to dead sniper.
Oh I am laffin.
>>29778492
Why not?
If you have the resources to waste a missile like that then do it.
Better then risking more lives.

This was discussed a little bit last week in a slow moving thread, so I'm making an official one to gauge real interest. What I want to do is host a meetup in Dawson Forest. Problem is, it's a WMA, so you aren't legally allowed to just target shoot in it. Odd thing is, I've been there before and at the end of the main road is an access road, I've heard a ton of gun fire coming from down there, so I don't know if there is a range or not that just isn't publicized. Anyway, I'll have to go check. In the meantime what I want to do is find...

There's plenty of national forest land for you to shoot on and you pick a goddamn WMA?
jesus.
Just be willing to drive north a bit and all your problems are solved.
>>29778522
WMA isn't for shooting, it's for camping. Wanted to shoot somewhere else and then go there
>>29778522
>>29778642
Plus, a lot of the national forest has been turned into wilderness areas and the laws for shooting on them is a little funky
So an armed robbery just happened on my street. I live in a upper west neighborhood of Chicago.

Would carrying have prevented the loss of property? Guy pulls a gun and points it at your head, do you just give him the wallet and phone and leave? What if you were carrying? How would you deal with the situation? Also, I'm in the market for handguns now. Paranoid as fuck.
Probably not but if the next guy brings a knife or you carry conspicuously it probably wouldn't happen in the first place.

Would the US Officer Corps be better off if you removed all avenues of entrance that don't require enlisted service?
Basically, the only way to become an officer would be OCS, Green-to-Gold, and the only applicants to West Point, Annapolis, and the Academy would be those who are already enlisted in their service. There would be no officers who were not prior-enlisted.
>>29778084
No. Being a peon is an inefficient step in learning to be a manager compared to training specifically for the management role, not to mention that the Army would lose the ability to attract a lot of their stronger talent if they had to enlist prior to the subsidized college.
To be honest they should either dismantle or totally overhaul the service academies. Their academics are a joke and like half of their purpose is as a retirement home for flag officers.

How so?

How did I do?

what do you mean?
IMO the PSO-1 is like the SVD, incredibly innovative and advanced upon debut, but kinda inferior now compared to more modern alternatives. I like the counter-sniper version with the built-in IR detector, it was an interesting answer to early NV systems.

This is relevant if I weren't building an SVD clone from a VEPR using a modified polymer SVD stock and forearm ;)

Okay /k/, I've been messing with a new rifle platform in my head, and it got me thinking; what features do you guys look for in rifles? I'm talking stuff like ambi safties and mag releases. Are there any features that turn you away from a rifle?
Realistically my design isn't going to go anywhere but I can dream.

Hey /k/. Any Britfags here know if I can join the Royal Marines if I've got a porcelain tooth?
>>29777872
If it's still black or at least yellow enough, it should work out anyways.
You shall rule the waves!
>>29777872
You should be fine as long as the rest are healthy, they will only deny your application if you are missing too many or have a lot of decay.

If you had to pick a pre AR era semi auto for SHTF what would you pick?

It's late on a Thursday morning, let's talk earnigga.
Do you prefer in ear, or over ear? What do you generally use?
I like peltor 3m optime101 overear, then in ear headphones for the music what makes me shoot gooder.

Reposting because worried
I have a glock, bought it because of it s reliability
I go shooting with it and I get 4-5 malfunctions.
I went again yesterday with the same results.
The malfunction is this - during the middle of a magazine, the round will only half go in. I need to drop the magazine, rack the slide to have it fall out, and then reload the round and keep shooting.
What the fuck is happening?
I haven't tried it with a different magazine yet, I'll be doing that tomorrow.
If it's no bueno, I'll be selling it,...

shouldda bought a glock
oh wait...
>>29776884
Did you buy it new or used?
Could be the mag. You could also use a new recoil spring.
If it's new and doesn't have any wear that would require replacement parts, take it apart, clean it thoroughly, lubricate it sparingly, and try again with a different brand of ammo. See what happens.
If it's still a lemon after all that, THEN sell it.
Well there's a slight chance you could be limp wristing
But it could be a man or ammo issue. When it hangs up and you drop the may are you able to dry fire it?
What brand of ammo? I doubt the slide is outrunning the may spring buy it may not be cycling completely.
Whatever it is, it shouldn't be hard to resolve. I'm not a glock fan, but I would rather sort it out and keep the gun. Don't let this experience leave a bad taste in your mouth. It's a sample of one.
