Why don't they make bulletproof vests out of diamond if it is the hardest metal?
>>29331367
Diamonds are brittle and artificially expensive. They're used in ways where they won't be striked.
>>29331367
Nah man, unshielded DU armor. The only thing that can stop a DU bullet.
>>29331367
Because they dissolve in liquid oxygen
If you were expected to go clear out a place like pic related, how would you prefer to be armed, and how would you deal with long, narrow corridors broken up by cramped but relatively spacious underground rooms?
Assume your mission is to disrupt the efforts of enemy saboteurs before they damage otherwise crucial infrastructure.
Personally, it seems like a suicide mission to me. No real space to maneuver. No real cover. As soon as the shooting starts you'll be too deaf and disoriented to be useful.
Is this facility important? No? Alright, lets get some shape charges on the roof and make a nice concrete grave. Be back in time for lunch.
>>29331259
The army way, m203's till I get bored. Then get Ramirez to hold my dick while I piss.
>>29331259
Depending on the length of the average mission, I'd go for heavy protection, focusing on the front as we're most likely going to be advancing.
A squad/group would have at least two guys with suppressing weapons. And they would all have molotovs or something similar. Good for underground places, won't damage the walls or ceiling, oxygen deprivation etc.
I'd just have a ''we're not hiding, so we're going full force on intruders'' thing going on.
Did he do it, /k/?
Maybe.
>>29331087
No. Sometimes the rumor works better than the truth.

The entire point is a direct answer not matter what it is - does not have the same impact of the mystery and conspiracy that surrounds the ignorant, goddamn
Tl;dr doesn't matter
Y'all /k/now w'hut? I'm buying an old brick townhouse in a bad Saint Louis neighborhood for a reasonable price. It has four bedrooms, and, because I'll be making the basement my personal demesne, I'll grant the four upstairs bedrooms to worthy /k/ommandos eager to join our coon hunting lodge! The rooms are large, so having pairs of bunk-beds would allow four fire teams for a total of sixteen troops billetted upstairs; the ground floor is equally spacious, so we can have cots & couches for pledges eager to be chosen to replenish the ranks of the sixteen...

Sure!
Fucking give me war nao. All commie scum must die.
Sure it might be nice to highway of death the norks for a couple of weeks, but do you really want to deal with 25 million of their starving refugees afterwards?

We won't have to, Germany will take them in.

Do you use trigger locks?
For transporting, yes.
>>29330470
Nope
>>29330470
Yes, especially on my home defense gun. You can't be too safe, because you never know when a gun will just decide to randomly fire.

I wasn't planning on buying a /k/ thing but my girlfriend needed to buy a replacement tupperware for her aunt after it snapped while it was holding home made ice cream in our freezer, and the only proper replacement is only sold as an add on item on amazon, so I need something that's /k/ related and around $25.

Literally just did the same thing OP.
Got some eyepro and some nitrile gloves.

Can't go wrong with a big ass box of plugs.
So I was searching for a shotgun to add to my collection and ended up comparing the Remington 870 and the Mossberg 500. I did allot of research and what I heard was that if going for new perductuon then the Mossberg was the better choice but if I was going for overall the best pump shotgun, then the old Remington's where the best. Also heard that the Wingmasters where the Catalac of 870's so I ended up getting this 1982 Remington 870 Wingmaster with an 18 inch barrel for $320. Still haven't shot it yet because I had a busy week but am going to shoot it tomorrow....

Bump, not OP, but I'd like to know what /k/ says.
You did pretty good. 80s era 870s are legit excellent, it'll serve you well, especially since it's a Wingmaster.
>>29329286
>1982
might want to look into replacing the magazine spring
other than that good for you have fun
Is it just me or does it seem like these guns are getting harder to find? When I do find them they're marked up way more then what most would call a"reasonable price".
at some point you'll have to spend the money if you really want one
they won't be getting any cheaper
just lurk armslist everyday
>>29329145
Lurked on gunbroker.com for quite some time, and I felt lucky enough to get a lightly used yugo for <$300. The age of cheap as hell milsurp rifles is coming to an end. This seems to coincide with the recent moist nugget hate, as you just cannot got rifles for <$100 anymore, and you'll be better off getting a savage for slightly more for a much better gun.
>>29329943
I remember when I was in highschool and I'd snatch up the cabelas adds that came in the mail. They had $100 nuggets for a long time. Of course being a minor and living in NJ I could never get my hands on one
>regrets I'll never live down
What does modern self defense pistol doctrine say about lanyards? I had to use one when I was standing quarterdeck watch when I was in the Navy. Should you use a lanyard when OC or CC? Or do modern operators think they aren't high speed?
>>29328120
Seems really useful, just like writing your name on your underwear.
>>29328120
They are okay but useless in any situation where they would be considered a useful item.
Most useful when shooting from horseback is likely. Also possibly useful when shooting from a vehicle. Otherwise I'd think they'd mainly be annoying.
Looking to get a glock 19, what's the major difference from gen 3 to 4, and what advantages does each have over the other?

Pakistan is looking to replace its service rifles the G3 and the Type 56.
They're trialling the: Beretta ARX-200, CZ-806 BREN 2, FN SCAR, Kalashnikov AK-103, and Zastava M21.
Which one should they go for?
http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/land/weapons/2016/03/16/pakistan-seeks-new-service-rifle-upgraded-ordnance-facilities/81882200/
I hope they get the ARX.
>>29327553
Anything cheap which rules out the SCAR.
>>29327629
The SCAR is extremely cheap to manufacture which means they can offer very competitive bids when it comes to buyers of this nature.
Let's talk about the Gewehr 43. I was considering trying to purchase one but am largely unfamiliar with. I don't see it talked about much on here. Tell me the ins and outs of it lads.
>>29326523
put boolits in it
it goes bang when you hit the bang switch
things in front of it die
the more times the bang switch is whacked, the more deader they get
>>29326523
Great and interesting collectible.
Not something you want to shoot and abuse.
>>29326523
If you collect WW2 weapons then it's worth it. As a shooter, well I wouldn't really use it as a range toy but I'd probably shoot it a few times just because. I heard they are pretty fragile compared to the M1s and SVTs.

WHAT THE FUCKKK???
It's one of the reasons why I love Emerson's so much, even thought they have fallen behind in steel quality/price for a while. They use screws that you can actually tighten with everyday common tools.
What is the reason for these Torx "Star Bits" to make such a huge presence in the knife market?
They designed it so the commies wouldn't be able to disassemble our weapons and steal designs.
I don't know if that's true i just made it up.
>>29325885
A. Most are normal imperial or metric Allan heads
B. If you don't own at least a set of standard torx bits (because you're too poorfag for toed screwdrivers) then you're a failure as a man and need to head to Sears and get your tool chest up to snuff
C. Because they don't strip as easily
>>29325885
Torx are great for automated assembly systems, positive grip and nearly impossible to strip out. If you do strip them out than you did something horribly, horribly wrong.
