Are MAK-90's worth getting? A guy on armslist wants to trade his MAK90 for my modded PTR91 (about 1,300 value in my PTR)
His MAK90 is a pre ban 94'
Good deal or nah?
>>29345154
he's adding $100 cash too
>>29345163
What's so special about these? I think the stock is hideous but as a collector piece I don't get the appeal except for the fact that they are banned. I already have a WASR10
They might go up in price but not 100% sure. There might be a ceiling to there price since you can get a WASR 10 for 600
Hi, /k/
Can some of you guys tell me why a rapid response unit would use silencers in a heavily crowded area.
Pic related.
Because guns are fucking loud

To not deafen bystanders?

I am looking at buying my first rifle /k/. From posts I've seen it looks like 5.56 is a good starter so tell me if money is no object and living in AL what would be a good rifle that is compatible with a suppressor and have enough space on it to fit lots of fun gizmos?
Mini 14
>>29343487
Remington 700
>>29343487
What is the paractical application of the F-15SE?
>>29343261
None whatsoever, Boeing trying to squeeze some life out of the airframe before they shutter the F-15 production lines.
It's F-35 expensive and doesn't do basically anything as well. The weapon bays on the F-15SE mockup are tiny, F-22 sized.

Export, so our Jew allies have less tech to steal

I guess if you have several billion in budget surplus and nowhere else to spend it...
Are the infos provided on his vids any legit? I'm interested in melee and historical weapon but is quite ignorant when it come to their actual specs and whatnots
>>29343147
He's an insufferable autist.
Go read some written articles or comb the relevant boards for information, youtube a shit.
>>29343157
but that take efforts anon, all i want to do is be a lazy bum and watch vids
From my perspective he and every other swordfag on the planet treats the idea of "steel and heattreat" like some kind of unknowable voodoo and refuse to believe that their precious $500 sword wasn't hand-made the old fashioned way by a barechested man with hand tools and an open flame.
Aside from that and his general autism, sure. He's fine. Just be aware that anything factual that comes out of his mouth he read somewhere else.
Hello /k/,
Im as new as they come.
I was curious what weapon this is and if the switch you see is the safety. And is it on or off?
Thanks
>>29343141
It's a Heckler and Koch UMP. Looks like that's a safety and it is on. Red means dead.
Looks like the safety is on.
White's on, red means hot.
>>29343148
Agreed. Interesting it is semi only...
Someone did it.
The assault rifle. Combing a rifle with an assault weapon.
Assault weapon is a made up term

Ok , Dumb Question : Could a group of Civilians operate an Artillery cannon / mortar with just a day of formation?
Mortar maybe, direct fire from static position easily.
Mobile mortar setup or indirect laying calculations difficult.
Artillery, direct fire unlikely, indirect complicated and unlikely
>>29342608
Not at all. 10-15 days of professional instruction, probably
why not? theres probably a few instructional videos online on how to do all of it.
My second pair of mechanix gloves just wore out and I'm looking for some better ones that will last a bit longer, any suggestions?
Also tacticool gloves thread.
+1 for sailing gloves
gloves are disposable pieces, my ironsights got about 6-8 months of hard use before the thumb and index blew out. still not like 40 bucks every half a year is a lot.
I hear the SKD PIG gloves are pretty durable though
>>29342459
Best gloves I've even owned.
Do you agree with the US Army's chief of staff that the MHS program should be dropped and Glock 19s bought as already used by special forces?
http://www.military.com/daily-news/2016/03/21/army-chief-eyeing-glock-pistol-as-services-next-sidearm.html
Which companies were contesting anyway?
>>29342383
Are glocks susceptible to dirt/dust/sand impeding function?
>>29342430
Yes. They severally impede the fragmentation of the glawk
What pistols have US special forces used in the last two decades?

this country is fucking retarded "BUT GUNS KILL PEOPLE"
>pic related, toy guns seized in customs
>>29342171
I'm sitting here "inspecting my ammo" with my safe open behind me until I can confirm 100% what is going on, they dont have windows on this side of their house
>>29342171
Still call 000 and tell them there's a serious DV going on. Extra points if you're North Brisbane area, I'm living in the area with the highest DV rates in QLD, loving it.
Also, if customs declares those toys firearms, then they should treat them as such. They are breaking the first few rules of firearms handling, if they call that stupid because they're just toys... well good work hypocrites.

Seems like a lot of people claim that Russia was subpar in terms of organization and strategy, which led to a large series of reforms. What did Russia do well and do poorly in that conflict? How did the US-trained Georgian military perform?
the war revealed insufficient coherence at the tactical level as well as traditionally weak aspects of russian military such as night operations, reconnaissance, communications, and rear support. georgia's effective use of new-generation sam and radar systems has significantly complicated russian air operations during initial stage of the conflict, which lead to the greater attention to sead
still, it was rapid success. 3 tactical battalion groups have been deployed to south ossetia for counter-assault in a matter of hours. within 3 days, sufficient amount of manpower,...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>29342820
Yeah nah brah. Georgians are fuckups. I mean, Russia is a fuckupper too but Georgia truly defined fucking up. They did not seal the sole tunnel that the Russians were pushing their troops through when they had the chance. That alone could have stalled the Ruskies long enough for a diplomatic solution. But no. What a fuckup.
>>29341903
Considering how the reform mainly was aimed at reducing the russian military size and restructuring it i'd say it had very little to do with the war with Georgia, apparently it was already planned and attempted in 2003 and they just didn't get around to implement it.
If the reform had been a tactical one it would have been different i suppose.
/k/, what are some ways to conceal carry a handgun when riding a motorcycle? Also, what are some other methods of self defense that can be used?
For example, would having collapsible baton or knife secured somewhere on the bike be a good idea?
Ass-crack would be your best option for CC, and a bag of broken spark plugs would be your best non-gun weapons. As for why melee is a bad idea:
>Newton's 3rd law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
>>29341886
A lot of people I know go with shoulder holsters worn under their riding leathers/motocycle jackets, since it's a bit more comfortable on crotch rockets and the like. Also, and I've never bought pavement on a real bike before so I wouldn't know, but they say falling off and landing on something hard on you ribs is a bit better than something Hard up against your pelvis.
>>29341907
I was thinking more along the lines of being stopped at a red light and jamal gets mad you cut him off and tries attacking you.
