After trump people have been saying if hussein stayed in power we would not have ISIS. It's my opinion that saddams Iraq is much more dangerous than ISIS. Tell me where I'm wrong, /k/.
Saddam.

>Conquered Syria in under a week.
You mean Kuwait? Because conquering Kuwait then wasn't a hard task considering he had one of the largest armies in the world at his disposal at the time.
Plus he thought that the Americans had given him permission to invade Kuwait. Saddam's only fault was that he didn't come crawling back after misreading the horribly prepared message that the US was trying to tell him with regards to the Iraqi-Kuwaiti oil dispute.

Saddam would have stayed loyal and relatively stable (and through that the country, shame about what he did to the Kurds tho). Had he continued to control the country, and Iran would most likely be even weaker regionally as Iraq would have moved to counter its growth in relative power in the region.
Not outright defending him, just stating some facts and what I perceive would have happened had he never been deposed/got attacked by the US.

An excerpt from the link
"U.S. Ambassador Glaspie – We have no opinion on your Arab – Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary (of State James) Baker has directed me to emphasize the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960′s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America. (Saddam smiles)"
I hope I the attention of well read and/or expierienced people of our hobby.
Would you please tell me why P.O. Ackley is important? What should everyone know, but also what would you like everyone to know?
I know a few technical details, but I would like to know the whole, real, story from the perspective of people who remember it when it happened, and the honest opinions of people more knowledgeable than me.
Thank you

I think he was mormon, but I don't know.

Bumping, where did Parker Otto Ackley get the money to open his first enterprise(s)?

Okay god dammit i guess i have to ask,
who is this monster titty girl?
Hey /k/
Going to Buds Gun Shop in Lexington, KY this Thursday to put a few handguns for my everyday carry in my hands and get a feel for them, have any suggestions? I've had my eye on a Governor considering its a revolver that accepts .410, .45 LC, and .45 ACP, but I'm also eyeing a Kimber 1911 I saw as well.
Also, what do you carry on the daily and how do you carry it?
>>30592206
>Kimber
Don't. It's shit quality these days.
>>30592252
Fug, for real? I was under the impression their quality standard was the tops for 1911's.
In that case, which 1911 manufacturer would you recommend?
>inb4 Colt
They are some of the shadiest arms dealers in the US, give no shits about the stores and probably the people that buy their products.
>>30592206
i have a govna. i got it as a gift and its not really my thing. if you like it and want to carry it go for it. i dont really have anything bad to say about it other then the screw that holds the cylinder release comes loose rather easily but im sure some lock tight would take care of that.
Alright /k/, so a few things crossed my mind in terms of wepons and guns in general. The first thing I was thinking about was... when do you think the AR type rifle is going to become outdated? Do you think the U.S. military, or any other military that uses AR type rifles, are going to upgrade to some other primary weapon of choice?
As far as the second thing I was thinking about, that was..... when do you think lead projectiles or gunpowder in general become obsolete? What would be a good alternative to the bullet?
Extra points if you have any info on prototype...

I think were going to move to hybrid casings next. No point building a heavy brass case that'll get used once (for the military) when a lighter,cheaper alternative can be built out of polymer-coated aluminum.
They would also prevent barrel warping because the polymer will prevent heat from being transferred.
Another trend I expect soon is all-steel bullets. Environmentalists will eventually demand it.
>>30592148
Sounds neato, all steel bullets huh? Would that do more damage since it's a stronger metal? Or would it do less because it won't barrel out as much on impact as lead does since it's softer?
Also what would be a good alternative to bullets in general?
not lasers. not for a long time, and most likely never in the hands of a human being. the conceivable future of small arms development's gonna be centered around ammunition like it pretty much has been for over the past century; any advancements to whatever it's being fired from is pretty much gonna be icing on the cake. it's gonna get smaller, lighter, more accurate, and generally more effective at killing shit out of a more overall compact package. in a couple decades the traditional assault rifle might be replaced by some similar to pic related in size and...

>2016
>not being a WW1 pilot
What's your excuse?
>>30592003
wut
I used to know WW1 vets when I was a kid.
Now the WW2 vets are almost all gone.
Isn't it sad, /k/?
Because I'm a WWII pilot.
Dumbass.
I ask because I was talking about it in another thread, and was met with the same faggotry I see in a lot of threads here, but no one actually stating they've ever shot one or even own one.
So if you own one, or have put at least a hundred or so rounds through one, I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm sure I'll find the other slackjawed faggot responses humorous and enlightening none the less, I guess your ignorance will only help keep my thread alive.
Thanks in advance.
>>30591973
i didn't shoot a taurus curve but sure as hell extensively shot you mom's curve
>>30591973
I handled one at the LGS and its Regis seemed okay but a little awkward. I'd have to put rounds through it to make a call.
>>30591973
It's trash.
Flaming hot trash.
Ergo is total shit. Trigger is crusty, has a long pull, and breaks unevenly. The little light is worthless. The belt clip feels cheap and is begging to be snapped. The body is made out of cheap poly and WILL deform if fired on a hot day. Cleaning it is a bitch. Mags are finicky and prone to spring damage. Accuracy is shit even for a compact. The sights are literally not sights.

ITT: We list things that Pierre Sprey was actually right about.

What does pierre sprey actually want in a fighter?
Does he want the US to ditch the F-35 and just use cannon-only F-5s as their frontline fighter?

>ITT: We list things that Pierre Sprey was actually right about.
Well he was right about outfitting every French fighter with a white flag, just in case...

What's wrong with the WASR

>this guy (Travis Haley from Haley Strategic Partners) slaps your ass and says "hey, nice Kalash man!"
What do you say? Keep in mind that he is able to do sub second draws from concealment and has a pretty impressive resume.
I like yours too!
I've had my ass slapped, and slapped other asses enough times doing sports to not give a fuck. Its gay as fuck, but its a social norm in certain circles I guess, maybe he's just autistic or something.

>Rifle dynamics
>being a nice AK.
Turn away to hide my erection completely say "t-thanks y-you too!" so he doesn't get suspicious and try talking to me any more. I'm not sure I could hide the blush that long if he did
I live in Texas and want to buy a gun for fun. Only problem is, I have a psychiatric visit on my record, so I can't buy them through dealers or pawn shops.
Is there another way I can buy guns privately? If I buy them privately, is my background required?
Thanks
>>30590914
Do you check yourself in or were you forced by a court or other official process?
>>30590914
I'll sell you a gun but you have to throw your ass in the trade
>>30590914
You are a prohibited person. (if you were involuntarily commited under court order)
Your possession would be a fellony
You can own black powder firearms .... So go get a muzzle loader and have fun
Hey /k/ let's start a war is hell thread. Also any aesthetic war pics.
I am looking at getting my first general purpose CCW / Home defense weapon. I know the Glock 19 is the go to favorite for a lot of you but I have also heard a lot of good things about the M92A1. Does anyone on here own both or fired both? What are the pros and cons for each weapon.
>Beretta 92
>Concealed carry
Webley Mk. VI w/ bayonet. Or just be a huge pussy. I don't care what you do.
Who are you some Miami vice cop from 1992. Glock you nigger. 9s fucking blow dick

Sounds like you need a good drag bag and maybe a good shooting mat.
I have everything I need except a nice laser range finder. I don't wanna cheap out on one of the $300 ones that don't range reliably to 1000. I wanna wait till I can afford something in the $800 range that will range out to 1000 yards with utter reliability.
I have the $150 Kestrel. It is awesome. Don't waste your money on the expensive one with the built in doping software. Waste of money. You should have your dope...
