How does this make /k/ feel?
Anyone here that actually earned a bronze star care.

Okay the comment about how the medal should only reward those in combat makes me really sad that people really do think the majority of the military is just jarheads.

I'm starting to wonder if Obama is secretly pro-gun. That or the antis have fully horse shoe effected themselves.

Once police use it and have data to show it "works" we're next....
....you Really believed what you just said?
There isn't a "smart gun" one the market that is in 9mm or .40sw.

There isn't a chance in hell LEOs go with this.
I was just watching this documentary on Gulf War v1:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fegFGllS3w8&feature=youtu.be&t=12m56s
It's a pretty interesting program even with the shit animations. It did make me question
I know the vast majority of a2a kills in the First Gulf War were beyond visual range. 75% or so If i recall. Still, in the program you see the F-15 pilots give testimony where they hesitated to fire missiles and instead preferred to get closer to the enemy to positively ID them as hostile.
Was radar ID really that bad in 1990?...

>Was radar ID really that bad in 1990? What has changed since then?
Yes.
IFF has gotten a lot better.
>>29769039
What stops enemies from using our IFF to designate targets?
I'd assume its on a small identifying band, but to be received by friendly receivers it still needs to be a relatively strong signal
>>29769061
IFF gets recoded in the battlefield, at least thats what they told us during Stinger school where the unit can detect current and old IFF.
Give me some talking points to discuss, also what was the anti gun bill that was illegally forced through.? Pic unrelated.
>>29769019
>illegally forced through
It was the Hughes Amendment to the Firearm Owners Protection Act.

For those vox type liberals
Is overkill even a real term in warfare?
This was an annoying sniper, they used a 6 foot missle to end him.
>>29768962
Cheaper than a human bean
>>29768962
Yes.
While using a missile or small bomb to take out a the sniper in your pic would be considered enough for such a mission, a 2,000lb bomb would be considered a waste of resources.
>>29768962
He was an HVT. If he was killing men or halting a key movement for any longer than deemed acceptable, a missile is a simple way to save time and bodies.
Has anyone here tried launching explosives from one of these?
ATF plz no kill dog.
>>29769012
No ATF here
>>29769024
That's exactly what the ATF would say.

That the one where the guy fires off an RPG in a crew compartment in the first 30 seconds?
If so, there's your answer.
>>29768819
Is this the armored truck go pro video that has been making the rounds? of so:
>if your opposition has RPGs, those home brew armored trucks might as well be coffins.

They should be using their armored cars and machine gunners as highly mobile suppressive fire platforms. That machine gunner needs to actually stop spazzing out for three seconds and suppress the enemy.
The infantry in that truck need to fucking dismount and close and destroy the enemy. The gun trucks support the infantry advance, the infantry make sure things like RPGs are neutralized.
They need to dictate who the fuck is what. Who the machine gunner and assistant gunner are, who the anti-armor...

I'm curious, what are /k/'s thoughts on the Automag series of handguns?
snowflake cartridge to have identical capabilities to a revolver.
Theres a 44automag for sale near me, he wants $4200. Yet another barrier to their success.
I hear they are gonna rev up production again. I don't know if it's confirmed but in the Wiki it says they have plans to bring it back.
Fukken sexy.
I'd buy one if they accepted 44 mag or 10mm
What gun is this?
FAMAS
That's a bomblet.
steyr scout.
