How could the United States win the War?(Besides avoiding it all together)
>>28859609
nuke saigon
There are two strategies I see working.
The Kennedy strategy, and the Nixon strategy. The LBJ strategy was the uncomfortable middle ground between the two.
Under Kennedy
>Just say no to ground troops
>if the state can't hold with our help, it can't survive
>large amount of secret squirrel shit
Essentially, a standard Foreign Internal Defense campaign, like the ones the US had previously fought in Greece, South Korea, and China.
The Nixon doctrine was
>let there be no limit to the bombing
>the ground will shake until you make peace
>try and play the Chinese and the Soviets off of each other
>if Laos and Cambodia won't stop the communists from using their countries as staging areas, go ahead and invade them too
>ignore hippies
>make open threats against Soviet Union itself
>also try and built up the South Vietnamese as a fighting force, but less exclusively as the Kennedy strategy
>>28859609
Charge the hippies with espionage and frame them as Soviet spies. Try to shift public opinion to support the war effort while preventing the hipster fucks from spoiling it by making it unpopular. Proceed the war effort

>Rifle for Scoot
I think it needs to be revisited.
Instead of just dogmatically parroting what Jeff Cooper laid out way back when, why don't we look at what Col. Cooper was trying to accomplish IN EVERY ASPECT.
My quick estimate
>extreme reliability and lifespan of weapon
>quick acquisition optic with zoom
Here he suggests a combination of a low powered forward mounted scope and a back up ghost ring iron sight. Both being readily usable.

what role is it suppose to fill? is the better question
Bullpup with straight-pull bolt-action. Reduce overall size.
>>28859015
Basically a durable SHTF civilian rifle.

>>28859008
Just shoulder it, anyway.
Moving to Cali on July. My wife is accepting a job there in the central valley making crazy stupid amounts of money, plus we'll be right up next to Sequoia national park and I love hiking.
What do I need to do? I have a 9mm pistol, a nugget, and a .22.
>>28858838

Does SAGE work? It needs to. Piss poor.
>>28858323
Basically what the F-35C already is. That concept art is sexy as fuck though.
>>28858323
No divertless intakes in addition to those chines just screams RF emissions trap/reflector to me. Hope they clean that up.
Thoughts on these? Are they worth it or are they just more mall ninja junk? What are some possible situations where a tactical pen would actually be beneficial?
Literally none you stupid shit
>>28858184
its a gimmicky "not-a-weapon" that may be better than nothing in places like commieforrnia.
Definitely something Gecko45 would have used.

Gonna get a Mosin today. Hopefully a M44. What should I look out for?
>>28856949
Germans.
>>28856949
Look down the barrel and make sure it doesn't look like a rusted out pipe.
Other than that nothing really.

Good point!
My sister lived in England for nearly 10 years after she married a brit that was twelve years older. Eventually they divorced and a couple years later she ended up marrying a Finn and moving to Finland. This last summer the family came to visit me in the South Western US and we got into the inevitable gun control discussion. She grew up around firearms, Dad and I used to hunt a lot and she even shot them a lot until she discovered that boys have penises and then she went after that. But now, having lived abroad she's convinced I should just give up my guns for the safety of everyone. Even when she was staying with me she made mention of a few times that she did not like having her six month old daughter in the house with guns. I told her it was fine, her daughter's father was a Finn Sniper, who's father was a Finn Sniper, who's father was a Finn Sniper that served in the Winter War. She did not laugh.
Some of things she said
>When I was living in the UK I never felt that my privacy was invaded
>I don't think anyone except LEO's should have weapons, it makes it safer for everyone.
>You can hunt rattlesnake with a stick or a bow.
>I don't feel that the US is the better country, I think the UK is the better country and I wish that the systems in place in the UK would come to the US. I might move back if they did.

>Why do you need 30 round magazines?
Why does your husband need 30 round magazines in his RK when he's serving with the Finn guard?
>Because he's military and you're not so you don't need that. What are you afraid of, you think that some mexican army is going to come over the hill and attack?
No, Skinwalkers will though
>you're just being unreasonable. There's no situation in where 30 round magazines are necessary
At least she...

>What's there to be done?
Just don't make any single compromise like "Well, you might be right on this one thing"
Eventually she will give up since nobody is giving her attention or that coveted halo of "I'm worried about X and thus superior to you" that strokes her ego.
She doesn't actually give a shit about magazine sizes or gun laws.
She just wants attention.

Anyone else get a M1 Carbine from CMP yet?
I went to the CMP store and got this last Thursday.
Here's another pic, it's a service grade.
>>28856541
No,
Because I'm just not interested I'm the m1 carbine.
But I did send off the paperwork for a cmp garand yesterday.
They had a bunch of Garands at the store, though no service grades.
Why is /k/ so hostile against precision shooting sports?
Is it just because they spend a lot of time shooting rather then just talking about it?
Is it because its really hard and you just cant manage to not look bad when you try it?
Is it because you just don't believe in working on fundamentals or good shooting forum?
Is it because you don't have the attention span to shoot a full set?
Don't ever start the shit about .22LR not being real shooting. You come do highpower or 300m if you put as much time into training as you do...

It's specialized to the point of not being really applicable to the real world. I don't play baseball to help me oper8 better, either, despite the fact that some of the skills being used in baseball may be useful in oper8ing.

This. Its no longer having practical applications. They shoot .22's at paper with intricate stances and devices to assist them. Too specialized...

99.9% of people on 4Chan play video games and know not to expect anything from these videos in the actual release version.
So either you're that 0.01 percent retard who still does, or most likely a shill.

I swear this guy is only watched by people who don't shoot much or can't shoot at all. It's the only reason I can find for why anyone would watch some guy shoot. It's like watching someone else golf. FUCKING BORING.
