If you have a CHL is that information displayed when a cop runs your DL?
>>29230373
Assuming it's the same state in which you got the CHL, then I think it does
Only in your home state.
And even then, it depends.
>>29230373
Depends on state. MN PTC? No.
Is shooting .22lr rifles fun?
>>29229148
Clearly not, because practically nobody owns one and all that .22 ammo is just sitting around in the stores not getting bought.
>>29229148
extremely
especially if you are doing more than just plinking with your 10/22
>>29229148
Yes.
so, these exist

costs only about $10-20k, my dad really wants one since it snows a lot at his place in wisconsin and he's getting older
anyone have experience with them?

>>29228877
>does anyone have experience with a 10-20 thousand dollar tracked wheelchair
>on 4chan
anyone who says they do is lying without proof
>>29228877
Couldn't this be easily replaced by an ATV & a snow machine?
I wouldn't want what is essentially a one-off wheelchair if I ever intended to use it, good luck getting spares. you can practically rebuild any cheap sled at tractor supply.
Alrighty folks, here it is. Myself and a friend of mine have decided that we are going to attend a sniper challenge course next year and I'm in the market for a rifle. I have decided on a Ruger Precision Rifle, but I can't decide between 6.5 CM and .308. I have made a pros and cons list in order to help make the decision. Please feel free to add pros, cons, give feedback, opinions, or just talk shit.
6.5 CM Pros:
-flat trajectory
-lighter weight
-resistant to weather factors
6.5 CM Cons:
-expensive magazines
-low barrel life
.308 Pros:
-ammunition is abundant
-magazines are cheap
-high barrel life
.308 Cons:
-susceptible to wind and weather
-faster drop
-heavy
Here is the link to the competition, though we will not be doing it this year:

>>29228345
>Max rifle range: 1500
Yeah, a 308 can't do that.
>>29228523
uhh, yes it can.
If youre planning to do serious long range shooting then its 6.5CM
If you dont want to spend too much money and also want to do allround shooting then its .308
Virtual BSOD for radar software could delay USAF's full deployment of fighter.
>In an episode of CBS' techno-procedural series CSI:Cyber that aired in January, pilots were forced to power off and power back on an airliner's flight computer to regain control from a hacker. As preposterous as that cold-boot of avionics sounds, it's something that test pilots have had to do with the F-35A "Lightning II" Joint Strike Fighter's radar system—not because of a hack but because of a software problem that causes the radar to degrade or stop working entirely.
>IHS Jane's reports that an issue arose in late 2015 with the F-35's AN/APG-81 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system, built by Northrop Grumman for the Lockheed Martin-led F-35 program. The software planned to be used in the F-35A when the Air Force declares its "initial operational capability" (IOC) with the fighter later this year—revision 3i—has a major flaw. As Air Force F-35 Integration Office Director Major General Jeffrey Harrigian told Jane's, that flaw affects "radar stability—the radar's ability to stay up and running. What would happen is they'd get a signal that says either a radar degrade or a radar fail—something that would force us to restart the radar."

Hey man good job posting this thread again. once wasn't enough
At least 6 more times would be good

Can anyone provide any insight on how I should go about planning an OCONUS leave trip that I plan to take after my Navy A school ends in mid-July?
I haven't seen my girl in 8 months and I don't wanna fuck up getting everything nice and approved in a timely fashion.
I understand I will need medical screening, approval, talk to several people, etc. but I'm really not sure who to talk to here at TSC great lakes to get the ball rolling.
please resopond
>>29228638
Have you tried asking your chain of command? They could help you better than we could.
>>29228638
Never post a picture more interesting than your thread
Whohere /staffduty/
>>29228064
So what exactly is staff duty?
How do they determine who gets staff duty? Is it easy?
>>29228131
You basically sit at a desk for 24 hours occasionally making or answering phone calls and cleaning.
It's determined by whoever didn't put in for leave or pass that day.
>>29228064
Are you doing company duty or higher?
Give me ideas /k/. I know you'll have some good ones.

Can anyone identify these boots? I got them second hand for $40 and have had them for 2 years and theyve been amazing although they have no brand or anything
They have writing on thhe top of the cuff that reads 9.5RJ4-97

Jump boots.
Probably Corcoran.
They are not what >>29227913 says.
Different speed laces.
I will look into it
Why come did they have rope attaching their handguns to their bodies?
Dropping when they lost it not
>>29227409
In case they ever ate shit so hard that their pistol went flying away from them.
There are modern versions of these as well.
Why is this even a thread?
>>29227409
Well you fucking foreigner.
It was so he wouldn't lose his fucking gun in battle.
Now git out.
Hey /k/, I'm looking into buying my first firearm (specifically for home defense, but also recreational purposes) and I don't really know all that much about guns. I'm looking for a handgun or shotgun, preferably on the cheaper side, but reliable as possible. I was looking yesterday at a compact 9mil and a few .40 cal that were on the smaller side. I'd also like to be able to concealed carry if possible. If there's anyone who knows enough to give me a good recommendation, I'd appreciate it! Thanks guys.
Compact 9mil. Go to a gun store and fingerfuck the pistols you fancy to see how they fit in your hand. Even try a store with an indoor range and try shooting them. Anything but Tarus or HiPoint and you're good.
>>29226634
yeah, I liked the way the 9mil felt, even though it was on the smaller side. It definitely felt like it would pack a decent punch. The s&w was a little pricey though. Any brands that are known to be reliable but are also cheap?
Hi.
http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/
CCW's with short barrels chambered in 9x19, .40 S&W or .45 ACP do not perform significantly better than .380 ACP (especially with modern bullet geometries) while also packing significantly more recoil.
You're honestly better off buying a separate gun for CC than the one you use for home defense (get something you can mount a tactical light to for that) and recreational shooting (CCW's are typically not too fun to shoot).
Physics major here.
I've been learning everything possible about propeller planes lately.
Ducted fans, axial fans, supersonic tipped fans, subsonic compression ratios, blade element theory, etc.
I have found my passion, and I want to share knowledge with you guys and talk about prop fighters. My goal one day is to make these things relevant again with a new engine patent. Maybe not for fighting modern jets, but at least for viable ground support.
Do you guys like them? Any ex-military guys here ever flown a Super Tucano?
>>29226387
Engineering technologist, here.
There are a lot of recent advances in manufacturing that could allow for much more efficient geometries, but I don't believe propeller planes will have much use on the modern battlefield minus perhaps drones.
>>29226387
P51>all else
>>29226409
I believe you'd need to have assisted power since compression has a limit, that or use a regulated closed system but that would be extremely expensive.
>>29226413
No, I posted the FR because it is better for both land and sea operations, has a better climb rate, better roll rate, better turn rate, better everything desu and is more interesting in design. Contra-rotating props are inherently what you want for stability to recover from slipstream dampening
/k/ what's your opinion on the coast guards tactical law enforcement division. I have a command recommendation to get stationed at a taclet and I'd have to re-enlist. Thinking about joining the army or possibly navy if I don't re-enlist
>>29226210
The Coast Guard had a great television series I used to watch all the time called, Bay Watch. That Pamela Anderson was smoking hot.
>>29226210
cost guard is pretty cool guy. eh catches drug smugglers, gives boaters tickets and doesnt afraid of anything
>>29227980
Underrated meme.
Now I know you have had this topic ran into the ground. Is it a futile effort to even create body armor that can withstand the bullet yet still kill the person from the sheer force. How would you go about solving the problem to spread out the kinetic energy as much as you can?
>>29226150
Matt from DemolitionRanch has a nice series of videos showing what a .50 BMG FMJ does to SEVERAL plates of armor
in short, it's not feasible without something to augment the wearer's strength, because they'd be carrying around 50lbs of armor at a minimum
Reactive body armor

here's one of the vids i mentioned
Is a Smith and Wesson M&P for 538 a good deal?
>>29225548
That's pretty over priced. I regularly see them for about $460.
>>29225548
Unless you're getting the v tac sights I've seen them for under 400
>>29225548
I just checked my local gun shop and they are selling them this month for $419 in 9mm and .40 S&W. $489 for .45 acp.
