Is there any modern "tactical"/"gearqueer" Shit that I could buy to somehow replicate a medieval templar?

>>29386740
That is awesome, however I'm not going to lie that its a little disappointing that the closest I can get to modern templar garb is a fucking morale patch, haha.

Get a white plate carrier, spraypaint a red cross across the front and back.
See if you can't find some company that would be willing to custom make you a kevlar greathelm.
Enlisting in the Army.
What MOS for mad bucks after I'm out?
What MOS for best experience while in?
Aced the ASVAB last time I was processing through, so no worries about what I can get into.
Security clearance could be a problem.
>>29386254
>Security clearance could be a problem.
Well that just about disqualifies you from any possible MOS's that you could expect as answers for your two questions.
>>29386254
Why is security clearance a problem?
>>29386264
Yea. Assumed as much. Would like to get opinions, though. Assume it's not an issue.

There's no maybe on that sound. You can argue the looks, but nothing sounds better than the Huey.

tell me about 14T, will i get to crash planes with no survivors?
48G, are you familiar at all with the process of applying to USMA as an active duty enlisted soldier? I'm trying to get some information on this but there's not a whole lot on the internet other than their website, which avoids specifics.
Hey guys, need some help here. I'm part of an alt-right group, due to some friends and there is guy claiming to be an ex-marine, and his story just rubs me the wrong way. He can't name a specific MOS number when I ask him about it (He just says truck driver), and he claims his service for for just 3 years. I feel like I'm being a little paranoid, but when I asked him what his unit was he responded that he wasn't really allowed to talk about that. Am I just being paranoid or something up here? Image unrelated.
Hello /k/
I'm moving to a redneck state (indiana) in a few short months, and I'm going to get a carry permit right off the bat.
I'm not a totally unresponsible hoon, but I also don't really feel like carrying a 1911 around or something like that. I kinda have a thing for older stuff.
So, I was thinking of buying one of these, and open carrying it. Whaddya think?
>>29385604
Er, open or concealed. Depends on where I am and what I'm up to.
>>29385604
Why tho?
I own one, and I would much rather carry my Glock or any other gun that uses self-contained cartridges and that doesn't have a barrel longer than my dick.
I mean, if even a little bit of moisture somehow gets into the powder, you're fucked.
>>29385633
I can't imagine they are that bad in the rain. Obviously they worked when they were first made, I don't think a small pitter patter of water caused all wars to suddenly stop.
I suppose because I'm a bit of a nut. I also like black powder.
How do you store your ammo?
>Bottom Right - 2600 rounds of ZQI M855
>Mid Right - 1000 Rounds of Wolf Gold 223
>Top Right - 900~ Rounds of Monarch Steel 223 & around 1200 Rounds of American Eagle Brass 223
>Bottom Left - 3000ish rounds of 9mm FMJ 115 and 124gr
>Mid Left - 556 and 9mm defense rounds
> Top Left - Mags
I don't have as much as most people, but its a start
I have a big black garbage bag I throw all my rounds into.
>>29385031
Did I find you?
>>29385020
invest in some ammo cans. They look cool, and insure they will stay safe from humidity and something like a flood destroying your ammo.

Excerpt 1
The lethality and survivability of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) is still largely unproven, 6 years after delivery of the lead ships. LCS was designed with reduced requirements as compared to other surface combatants, and the Navy has since lowered several survivability and lethality requirements and removed several design features—making the ship both less survivable in its expected threat environments and less lethal than initially planned.
Excerpt 2
DOT&E does not expect either LCS variant to be survivable in high-intensity combat because the design requirements accept the risk that the crew would have to abandon ship under circumstances that would not require such action on other surface combatants. Although the ships incorporate capabilities to reduce their susceptibility to attack, previous testing of analogous capabilities demonstrates it cannot be assumed LCS will not be hit in high-intensity combat.
Excerpt 3
The current LCS seaframes do not have sufficient separation and redundancy in theirvital systems to recover damaged capability. Because the SSC design is not substantially different from the LCS Flight 0+ baseline and will not add much more redundancy or greater separation of critical equipment or additional compartmentation, it will likely be less survivable than the Navy’s previous frigate class.

Hard to understand why producing empty ships costs so much in US ship yards
Maybe they are just paying extra to keep shipyards open

Where were you when US navy corvettes became more expensive than other countries guided missile frigates?

couldn't you just blow a hole in one of the outer hull things and totally assfuck that thing like those terrorists on a fishing boat did to that destroyer?

The media thinks that all guns are supposed to be registered to you like a car is registered to someone. Now, they're completely wrong, but that doesn't stop them from thinking they aren't.

Why do cops like shooting dogs so much?
>>29384229
Mixture of safety measure, adrenalin, and love of power. Is that what you wanted to hear
>>29384229
because pitbulls are the blacks of the dog world
>>29384229
Because if a dog gets ahold of you with their mouth, you're gonna have a bad time.
Dogs can fuck you up. Anyone who says otherwise has never been attacked / bit
Not to say that killing any dog whenever is justified.

Hello /k/,
My lgs has both a cz-82 and some Bulgarian makarovs in stock. The makarov is $260 and the cz is $270. They both come with one mag and appear to be in similarly good condition.
I am only looking to buy one right now. Which one should I buy?
>>29383033
Mak master race
>>29383033
I'd go with the 82. Both are great guns, reliable, rugged and capable. The 82, though, has a double stack mag, giving you 12+1 instead of Mak's 8+1, and the 82 has a thumb mag release instead of a heel mag release. But let it be your pick, both great guns.
>>29383033
Czech these digits and get 11111
