Strategically, the German loss in WW2 was due to logistics and eventually running out of manpower, right? Would they have beaten Russia if they had had unlimited manpower and could replace losses infinitely?
>could Germany beat Russia if they had unlimited supplies and personal and therefore could never be stopped?
Gee OP, I don't know.

Are they feasible? Obviously not at the size depicted in souls games, but if you made them a more reasonable size, would they make for a decent weapon?
>is this size sword feasible? obviously not this size, but a different size?
>>29552804
Wasn't talking about the size. I meant more the style of sword. Like, is it useful to have a curved sword be that big? Or would it just be better to have something like a sabre or a falchion?
>>29552856
Way better to have a falchion. I mean, a curved greatsword is just as feasible as a straight one. The curved one would have a better cutting effect thanks to the smaller surface area initially contacting the target.
That being said, two-handed swords are great in the hands of skilled soldiers. Handing one to the common man, like you or I, would do us a disservice. We'd be open a lot on the battlefield.
I'd want a falchion, sabre, yatagan, kopis, or sickle-sword over a claymore, zwei-haender, curved greatsword, or even a falx. I would have a free hand to either wield a shield or use freely to better counter my opponent.
Using a curved sword of that length would also making half-swording more difficult... I think. Not going to say definitively here but I feel that the curved nature of the sword would make this style of fighting harder. It'd be unusable or have to be changed to adapt to the curved sword
What are some really good nylon gunbelts that aren't soe? I want to get one along with a leather one but I don't know who makes an exceptional 1.5 nylon belt.

Question for /k/ about fitness.
I'm a former armyfag, and now I struggle to maintain any semblance of fitness. Back then, I could always count on the camaraderie to help me maintain my focus and actually go out and PT.
Now, I have zero focus, and zero motivation.
How does /k/ stay motivated to run and maintain a reasonable level of fitness?
Why is it easy for some, and why do others seem to lack the spark?
>inb4 nice blog
>>29552663
Stop being a lazy shit and go the gym.
Either that or just accept being a fat blob.
These are your options OP.
Also nice blog faggot.
>>29552690
Hey, fuck your own face. I know what the choices are. I asked a pretty specific question and you answered neither.
What do you do to motivate yourself?
look up your local reserve recruiter and ask to volunteer during their monthly weekend warrior time. pt and drill with them. they accept all veterans
the gates of babylon have fallen, and the night casts a dark shadow upon the ragnarok of our former civilization, and now the people ask for my help, and i look down upon them and say...

It gives poorfags a way to stockpile ammo.
>>29552527
A black dude with dreads was shooting a .22lr AR with a reciprocating stock. The floor was littered with light primer strikes that didnt fire.

How often(how many rounds) would I have to do a complete tear down?
I love the accuracy of the rifle, and it's history, but, I prefer easy tear downs for maintenance(AR-10)
>>29552379
every 1000-ish rounds i do the following
- bore snake barrel
- scrap carbon from gas plug
- clean the piston
- clean the bolt and apply plate on the tracks
i never remove the stock

Well, /k/? Thoughts?
>>29552179
I'm thinking Applebees.
>>29552179

>>29552179
Is that Alan Rickman?
yo /k/
where do you buy your funs at?
Like which website? or do you just go to your local range/shop and purchase them there?
Currently in the market for pic related
>>29552178
I make all my deals in the parking lot of my local Applebees.
>>29552178
There's only two shorty SPAS-12s in the U.S., best bet is to get the standard.
>>29552189
Except that's horseshit fampai
And if I am correct they can now be imported again, though you'll have to hump through some loops to do so
Anyone know the light on pic related?
>>29552122
they dont have applebees in russia
>>29552135
Is this like...a riddle?
>>29552166
Its a new forced meme, just ignore him.
Thoughts on the Beretta ARX?
applebee's makes fresh italian spaghetti that'll fill you up, just like the ARX. light on the wallet too
>>29552033
functionally great rifle, I've yet to hear anything seriously bad about it, but it's ugly as fuck. I'd wager to say one of the worst looking rifles made in the past couple decades.
>>29552077
We should deport you Applebees niggers

why and why does that stop you from shooting a bow? what about compound? what about crossbow?
Will America sell Qatar 73 F-15 Silent Eagles?
Or will it go the way of the F-20?

>>29551916
Boeing would be over-joyed.
Wasn't Israel also looking into the F-15SE since America won't sell them F-22s?
>>29551944
Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and Korea were all very interested in the F-15 Silent Eagle.
Ok so the last thread is slowing down, and someone wanted a new actually somewhat serious thread so here it is.
Post gear, ideas, books, pdf's, anything that could help fellow preppers.
My question is if i put a wall around my property (around three acres) how tall would you say it would have to be to offer adequate protection while also offering the capability to defend it without going full autist and putting gun loops in the wall.
Army Handbook for Improvised Munitions as well as military issued survival books
/thread
Aside from that, shit like the farmers almanac and a book on basic gardening, farming, butchering and preserving. Old skills like cheese and salami making.
Your fence should be no higher than anyone else's, really.
>>29551918
Where i live we have a variety, from people with white picket fences, to people that look like they are trying to build fort knox 2.0.
>>29551876
If you have the materials I would build it about 10 foot with some type of catwalk. Although making a compound may not look all that good, freaking out the neighbours should make you look like a preppers therefore a target.
