If the bullets come out of the side, then whats coming out of the front?
Does that mean theyre blanks?
>>29448345
>bait
what
>>29448345
No. That's what an auto loader does. The bullet is still firing. You just new bullets from the spent shells coming out of the side.
I remember seeing a scope that was linked to a rangefinder and would automatically zero the scope based on the distance, does anyone know what it is?

Why does anyone think zombie guns are cool? It's never going to happen. Zombies aren't possible.
Just got done refiniishing my 870 on the cheap with Brownells Alumahyde 2 and i really like how its turned out. What does /k/ think and post results of your own refinishing jobs
>>29447696
That looks like the finish Mossman puts on their mariner 500s. Is that shit corrosion resistant? Like could you keep your shotgun on a boat And be good to go?
>>29447711
Not a great idea. Pretty sure the Mariner line have all the internal parts coated as well.
Too be honest prob not the best corrosion resistance but i wanted to do it super cheap ( ended up costing like 25$) and the alumahyde is def better than krylon
>tfw new recruits are this fucking dumb
Ugh.
Isn't that the same rag that said cleaning your gun was unnecessary?
>>29447456
Someone ought to garret that fucking newsman. You are not a soldier until you CAN shoot.
>mfw there were soldiers in my BCT class in 2008 that went through 20 iterations on the firing line to qualify with a 23
Sup /b/? Anyone here ever work for a Private Military company like blackwater/ academi? Or know much about the topic?
How much are these guys getting paid these days? Any info would help because there really isn't a lot of first hand information out there.
I'm 20yo in ROTC at my school, pretty set on 18a but I'd be more comfortable going that route if I knew being a PMC was a realistic option once I'm out.
>>29447243
Spend about four years in the light infantry then you tell us what skills merit compensation.
You fucking slacker.
>>29447243
Shit I meant to say /k/ my bad
Unless you go SOF or have specific skills (they like experienced medics), you have no chance. For more info, google names of PMCs and check their sites. They usually have the criteria listed.
To be fair if you're still in school (assuming you don't mean college) at 20, you have no chance anyway so don't bother.
Let's say someone joins the Army on a three year contract in an infantry role. They spend their three years training and go on a tour of duty somewhere and get some experience.
What are their job prospects after that? Will a PMC hire you? Can you join something like the French foreign legion? Do something in Africa? Or are you pretty much forced to do a law enforcement type job?
>>29446973
/k/ would be better if there ere fewer dumb fucks like you.
I wouldn't mind advising you but you are blatantly fucking stupid.
>>29446973
literally any of those you dumbfuck
>>29447031
Well I've read conflicting opinions that you need to have got into something like CSOR/JTF-2 in Canada or SEALs/Rangers in the U.S. if you want to get hired for PMC work.
I'm asking because I was offered a job recently for the Canadian Forces but not as Infantry. I got offered IntOps and I know after 5 years I can get some interesting jobs with intelligence agencies worldwide, however...I love the idea of really operating.
10 days to accept/decline the offer so I'm trying to weigh my...

does anyone utilize throw away guns? Scenario: I don't want the police to confiscate a nice gun for evidence in the case of self defence. Why not keep a nice, custom gun that we know is accurate and reliable, but also keep a shi**y gun in the same caliber. If you need to shoot someone, do it with the good gun, then hide it. Bring out the crappy gun and lay it at the crime scene. Make sure the barrel is dirty and at least the number of rounds you shot is missing from the mag. Police will take the crappy one for evidence and you keep the good one. I plan on getting a hi point...

The fuck? How would the fired rounds match the barrel?
If they fire the throw away gun in the investigation, which they probably would never go that in depth into it, the rounds fired from the hi nigger won't match the fancy gun.
>>29446531
do you really think local police will run ballistics tests when they have the 'smoking gun' in front of them?
>>29446536
see above. they wont bother to do that.
How come Jihadists/terrorists/freedom fighters/moderate rebels dont become deaf when none of them uses ear protecting while firing their AK's?
>>29446244
Who says they aren't deaf?
They are always yelling at each other in the war footage.
>>29446244
who says they don't?
>>29446244
Because shortly after shooting them, they tend to blow themselves up.
I highly doubt that they are concerned with health and safety with that in mind.
Why are they fitted with 3-round burst only?
What's the advantage over full auto?
Why does it seem to get so much criticism on this board?
How can it be fixed?
>>29446191
the M16A2 rifle and carbine, and M4 carbine used a 3 round burst under the idea that controlled burst fire was more effective than panicked automatic fire. additionally the 3 round burst was selected because very often two of the rounds would hit the target and one round will likely cause a wound. soldiers in the field during night ambushes would become blinded easy by lots of automatic gunfire, and likewise the 20 round magazine would very quick run dry.
other burst mechanisms exist, but the reasons for their...

>Why are they fitted with 3-round burst only?
The idea is that it prevents soldiers from wasting ammo.
>What's the advantage over full auto?
It prevents soldiers from wasting ammo.
>Why does it seem to get so much criticism on this board?
Because most countries allow their soldiers full auto and being limited to burst fire makes the M16/M4 seem inferior to other rifles like the G-36...

We didn't like it when they were first introduced either. When I was in, we had full auto A1s. Everything was hunky-dory. Then they gave us this 3 round burst crap. It is a disadvantage in a counter ambush. Depending on where the cam last set, you may only be able to fire one round when you pull the trigger instead of three rounds. It's a shitty configuration.
Can any academic types lead me to some peer reviewed articles that support teachers being allowed to concealed carry weapons? I\ve tried looking myself, but the database that my school has the password for is extremely biased to the left on this issue.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
>>29446009
Specifically for the purpose of being quick to respond to the threat of school shooters would be great. Thanks, /k/.
Please help me convince my rather liberal class.
>>29446009
I use scholar.Google.com to find sources for my uni papers , thank me later nigga
>>29446017
Huh, never even knew this existed
Does a country really needs air defence (beyond SHORADS, Manpads and AAAs. why AAAs? because fuck you that's why) in the presence of strong air force?
I mean, any self respecting air force would have the capability to intercept (and destroy, if necessary) any objects/entities that intrude its airspace, while their air defence is limited to point defence only (to guard strategic assets ie airbases, power plants, key national installations, etc) to guard against surprise buttsex
>>29445790
Layered defence
>>29445790
Yes.
>>29445790
Yes, because Russia and our air force is not big enough for 1 vs 1 slugfest
Hey /k/
So I just got out of the Marine Corps, and I've been thinking about Joining the French Foreign Legion. Any advice on how I should go about doing this?
>>29445548
learn a bit of french, exercise more. Take vacation to Paris and then stop by their office there and sign up.
>>29445555
Aaaaannnnddd quads neva lie.
But yeah that's basically it.

I'm looking for a .22lr 12g under-over, and I recently came across the Chiappa M6-22. Anyone on /k/ have experience with it? What are your thoughts?
With all the people on here who talk about NDing, I think it's likely that hunters have fucked up with these combo rifles. Imagine that rabbit that got slammed with a load of 12. Or the boar that got pricked by a .22.
Is it cheaper than the savage?
The few reviews I've seen were not very good, as expected of Chiappa most of the time. Their typical mix of interesting idea and shoddy making.
The rails are plastic and have been seen shearing off under recoil with an optic on.
The sub caliber adapters are expensive for what they are and not very accurate, but you can get the rifle without them.
Still not ure about the durability of the stock in adverse conditions, but for everyday use it should hold up.
Alright /k/.
So my buddy had a garage fire and his stupid self left a bunch of guns to be burned.
The mak90 he owned was the only " survivor. "
It's mostly coated with the shit the FD used to fight a fire, and some rust.
What is the best way to remove this gunk?
I am not currently trying to get the gun to fire as I comprehend the fact that fire + metal can be dangerous.
It will be a mantle piece, but I want it to look good.
Thanks in advance
>>29445137
shoot it
>>29445141
>I have nothing to contribute
If it is ever test fired, its gonna be from a bench w/ a vice and 100feet of fishing line.
I enjoy all my fingers tbhfam
Flush as much of the foam residue off as you can with clean water, then paint thinner, then motor oil.
Scrape off what rust you can with steel wool. Rinse with water, dry it, and use http://www.homedepot.com/p/Loctite-16-fl-oz-Naval-Jelly-Rust-Dissolver-Bottle-553472/203009241 on what you can't get off with steel wool.
Rinse it off well and then cold blue it or paint it with something like duracoat or cerakote.
Hey /k/ what's a good legal shotgun in North Carolina?
>>29445040
I mean pretty much anything that's legal in the rest of the country you can get here, we don't really have any laws besides the regular Federal stuff with shotguns, or are you asking more environmental wise?
Quick hijack.
I have a buddy out there, and are there any decent ranges near Jacksonville?
SPAS-12, like everyone else.
