The ACR is still out there and generally can be had pretty inexpensively because nobody wants one.

More exercise
>>29511515
Would running daily sufficiently prepare me do you think, or is two months not enough time to not be shit?
>>29511550
You won't be sufficiently prepared no matter what you do, but get your ass moving right now.

*muffled It Ain't Me playing down the road*
is anyone else worried that the intrusion of safety culture into the armed forces will have a serious negative effect on their ability to fight an actual protracted conflict?
a century ago you could lose millions in the space of a few months, and this was thought of as being a necessary sacrifice. these days it's a catastrophe if a single soldier dies in training.
>>29511358
No.
The culture, at least in the infantry, is not of risk aversion, but of risk management.
Also get fucked. Why would i want to kill a private in the name of "good" training?
Once an actual conflict arises it gets thrown out the window, so, no.
>>29511358
>these days it's a catastrophe if a single soldier dies in training.
It is. There are people whose line of work is making sure these excercises and functions are safe for everyone involved and if someone dies during what's supposed to be safe and routine training, something has gone tits up and heads are going to roll.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of explosive rounds, and why don't we use them today?
I just watched this video by the Forgotten Weapons guys testing vintage WW2 stuff, and it looks pretty devastating.
https://www.full30.com/video/82efb579fd3c93d177205966ef3d3c9d
I'm sure we could improve on the design with modern machining and materials. Imagine explosive .338 Lapua Magnum.
They're expensive to make and the only people we ever fight these days are unarmored, untrained dunecoons driving Toyotas. No need for fancy exploding rounds.
Advantages:
>blows up
Disadvantages:
>blows up
>expensive
>>29511305
Mostly, it's a bit less lethal than steel jacketed lead rounds. The bullets are less dense so it's going to loose velocity quicker. Likewise, penetration suffers. The explosive charge is a little more than a firecracker due in no small part that the detonator takes up much of the bullet. Even without a detonator we're talking less bang than a really shitty hand grenade with no shrapnel.
Sure, you can kill infantry but regular bullets kill infantry. Maybe you get more performance when dealing...

What were the Marines thinking?
Using an assault rifle in an LMG role?
How are you supposed to suppress shit with only 30 rounds?
Am I missing something is this what Marines usually do?
This is now a /k/ from 2010 thread
Did you hear they're going to start putting that Home Depot shelving hardware on guns? Incredible! Boy I sure do love my Troy Alpha rail! I wonder if Magpul is gonna make an AK mag! Imagine how great it'll be
>>29511202
It's not an M249, it's a traditional SAW much like the RPK.
It suppresses using more accurate bursts and is much more portable. These automatic rifles work in conjunction with an LMG; the LMG sets a base of fire while a maneuvering team flanks, within that team is an automatic rifle which functions as a rifle but also can be used to set up a smaller base of fire.
Just the Muhreen Corpse getting around acquisition rules by making up a new role.
>/k/ suddenly hates the leopard 2
What happened?
>>29511067
you started thinking /k/ was one person you fucking dolt
I like the Leopard 2 :(
>>29511067
i love leo2.
It's impossible to judge the modern MBT's capabilities since they're all super secret and have not had anything to face them that would prove them in combat.
They're all reliable, comfortable, safe and powerful.
But leo2 is the most beautiful. That turret overhang
You don't seriously still shoot brass cased ammunition, do you? Polymer cases are the future.
brass get the ass
>>29511003
Brass is more conducive to accuracy. However, if/when polymer cases become an actual thing, they won't look like that. They'll like like a rimless .410 shell.
>>29511016
Nah, they're going to start using polymer cases in conventional shapes in order to cut weight until the LSAT stuff gets formally adopted.
So what CH placement is the best /k/?
>>29511000
Ambi. Left side is nice too, but on guns where it reciprocates the additional slot in the receiver cover is just one more place to get dirt.
>>29511000
Probably either an FAL or G3
Probably on the left for me so i can keep my right hand on the pistol grip
How do I survive boot camp? I'm kind of a Pvt. Pyle type of dude.
Any tips for getting this over with as painlessly as possible?
Also, would it be possible to become a combat medic or something like that even though I'm a conscript? I have no problem with blood and gore and I kind of want to help people not die.

Blood on the Risers.
Fun to sing in the car on long road trips and guaranteed to freak out at least one passenger.

Napalm Sticks to Kids has that effect too. Quite entertaining.
Always been fascinated by the War on Drugs, both in the US and around the world. Post your best pics.
Photos of FARC etc also welcome.

The Colombian Army lays siege to the Palace of Justice in Bogota on November 6th 1985. The Palace had been taken over by M-19 guerillas, possibly in league with senior cartel members. The operation left 19 Colombian Supreme Court Justices and 48 Colombian soldiers dead. 35 M-19 members died in the operation, with at least 7 disappeared afterwards by the Army.
