redpill me on our Navy, /k/
How powerful is it?
What are its flaws?
Should I join it?
>>28736386
Now that's a cool ass propaganda shot
>>28736386
>How powerful is it?
Decently powerful, could be better, noone else has a comparable navy, maybe the chinks in 10 years
>What are its flaws?
They don't armor their ships, they think every ship needs to be a mult-billion dollar boondoggle, and the LCS doesn't work yet.
>>28736411
Also, no gliders.
What kinds of people do you see at the range?
>The tacticool kiddy
>The old cowboy with a revolver
This video gave me a hearty kek too

I go to a pretty exclusive range in the middle of nowhere with mostly fudds and normal guys, if anyone's there. usually I'm there by myself or with whoever I bring.
>>28735417
Someday you should actually go to a range.
i shoot by myself innawoods, only way to shoot desu.
I got drunk and made a knife, what do?
also are there any proper guides to knife making? all the instructions and videos I find are rubish
it's about time I bought proper materials and tools and made some nice things, I made this knife with a saw, file, scrap metal and a branch
>>28733381
damn nigga, that thing looks like shit. it look like it's made from some scrap metal and a random branch, and your only tools were like a saw and a file or something.
get yourself a band saw, a belt sander, a bench grinder, and if you want to do things that right way, a forge, anvil, and all the other shit needed for smithing.
>>28733446
Give him a break man, he said he was drunk. He's also looking for help to make better stuff
>>28733446
>and all other shit needed for smiting
I don't even know where I can buy metal supplies
and fuck you anan, lets see you make a beetr knfe haha
>US military finds F-35 software is a buggy mess
>Tests jettisoned to protect schedule
>The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) remains the problem child of the US military, with some operational tests abandoned in 2014, and buggy software proving a headache.
>The US military's Office of the Director, Operational Test & Evaluation (DOT&E) has released its latest annual report, and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter chapter describes the Department of Defense's efforts in trying to get the project back somewhere close to schedule.
>To avoid a cascading series of delays that would have stretched into 2016, the project abandoned an Operational Utility Evaluation (OUE) planned in April 2014 for the Marines' Block 2B configuration of the aircraft.
Am I reading this right? The software has bugs, so it limits flying time, so it limits testing, so they're reducing the number of tests it has to make to qualify?
That's like going "QA is identifying a lot of bugs. QA are a problem. Fire QA. There we go. No more bug reports.".
This'll end as well as it has gone so far - I wonder how many pilots will need to die from malfunctioning hardware and software for them to consider a different course of action.
I'm convinced that this plane is named F-35 because it will become fully operation by the end of 2035. So many damn showstoppers! Disaster.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/22/us_military_finds_f35_software_is_a_buggy_mess/
I'm imagining some guy at the DoD calling the software writer and getting an Indian guy with horrible English skills on the line lol
>>28730717
kek'd.
"Pranjeet, what is this shit??"
>>28730688
After hearing so much bullshit about the F-35 from people who genuinely believe that the US needs to start rolling out new Skyraiders I'm inclined to believe that somebody found a moth in the F-35's cockpit and the press ran with it as "BUG FOUND IN THE F-35: NEW AIRPLANE IS BUGGIEST SHIT EVER."
Have we or anyone for that matter come to the consensus of the reliable claims of the VP9? There are so many differing tests and results I can't seem to pinpoint the average. One test has the VP9 caked in hard mud and swamp:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=79&v=V69IDIpRbsA
The VP9 pass with flying colors.
While another, the MAC test has it failing.
So which one is it? Is there a middleground that we can all agree on?
>>28730337
>So which one is it? Is there a middleground that we can all agree on?
How about fucking test it yourself
>>28730337
VP9 is shit, an exposed striker channel for the sake of a worthless design to cater to politicians and safety sallies took a potentially awesome thing (a reintroduction of a striker fired gun into H&Ks lineup) and make it nothing more than a range toy.
Also sage for not creating a broader topic post.
>>28730337
VP9 owner here. For personal defense, I would advise against it based on personal experience. It is alot more picky with which ammo it likes compared to my glock or beretta. I've just experienced more stoppages with it overall.
That said, it is very comfy and the trigger's decent, so if you want it as a range toy than go for it.
Is there any reason to get a single action revolver, outside of collecting antiques and historical firearms? Also revolver thread. Looking for a home defense pistol and I'm debating on a revolver or semiautomatic pistol.
>>28729194
If memory serves me right, there's an instructor out in Arizona that teaches how to effectively use a SA revolver in today's world. It was an article in a magazine. I'd still choose a semi or a modern day revolver but it was an interesting read.
>>28729194
for fun but if you must buy a revolver for practical use dont buy a single action
>using a non-suppressed weapon for HD
>ever
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
It's been a while since we've had one, and it's fun to see who is around you and find new range buddies.
714 here. If anyone is nearby I'm actually heading to mike raahauge's right now to plink with my AR, if anyone cares to join.
Pic unrelated
>>28728450
Cmon, I want a plinkin buddy
>>28728450
>mfw that happened In the next city over
have to wait another 6 days for my ar. going to ontarget on Sunday to get a range card to shoot it there, and probably going to raahauges next friday with my buddy.
>born too late
>missed Afghanistan
>tfw you will never invade & occupy a faraway land
feels bad man
>>28722574
Join now as Europe will be asking for an invasion in a couple years. Do SF this way you're operational when it happens.
>>28722574
Who are these people?
You're probably an American poster, so you'll probably be seeing some sort of combat deployment in the coming years
Me on the other hand...
>tfw joining Canadian army next year after uni
And as of 2013 the British military stopped recruiting commonwealth citizens. Feels bad man
With clearly superior handguns like these available, why would anyone carry anything but a S&W?
From the elagant, stainless steel 3913, to the modern m&p shield, Smith and Wesson clearly is the best choice.
Glocks are beyond horrible to look at, are boxy, and their fanboys are terrible.
HK is overpriced meme shit
Berettas are okay, but still m&p wanna-be
Every other brand is shit-tier meme lord central.
Range toys are one thing, but if you're looking for a firearm to ALWAYS perform, there's simply no other option.
Stainless is for goddamn faggots. Snowflake "look at me!" as fuck, grow some balls.
>>28737392
I wish S&W still made this type of semi-auto instead of the polymer M&P bullshit.
>>28737411
I'm not saying that plastic guns are ALL bad. I mean, the m&p shield does a pretty good fucking job.
But stainless just looks good.
Don't worry anon, if you sell all your glocks you could absolutely afford a nice stainless 4506
>>28737421
I know the feel. Fortunately quite a few seem to float around still
I don't recall ever seeing anyone on here bring up Larry Thorne...
>Served in Finnish Army during Winter War
>Served with Waffen SS
>Escaped multiple prison camps
>Snuck into US
>Served in US Special Forces in Vietnam
>>28734465
Solid man. I see he was airborne and an officer. Impressive.
>>28734465
You forgot
>then turned into an awful song
Joseph Beyrle.
>Only American to serve with US ARMY and RED ARMY
>Also quite the escape artist
Is this real /k/? It seems like satire
Also general knife thread
>>28733949
It is obviously a satirical statement
No.
It's no different than stabbing someone with a spear, rought iron gate, or just repatedly with a normal knife.
What weapon would you use to protect yourself from some pure psychotic crazy person that is out to kill you?
What firearm do you trust the most to keep you alive from the deranged maniac?
Pic related is an example of one.
>>28724979
a ray gun :^)
>>28724999
HEY GUYS FUCKING REVIVE ME I GOT THE RAIGUN IF I FUCKING DIE I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL QUITE THIS GAME!!!!
>Timmy it's dinner time
SHUT UP MOM I'M TRYING TO KICK THESE NAZI ZOMBIE ASSES AND THESE FUCKERS ARE NOT REVIVING ME FUCK!
>Player dies
FUCKING GODDAMNIT!
>Player has left the game
Hosing someone down with fire should do the trick.
Faux news says this video was from a "FBI SPYPLANE".
Was it actually from a drone instead?
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/01/28/fbi-releases-video-fatal-shooting-armed-occupier-oregon-wildlife-refuge.html?intcmp=hpbt3
How will Drone use affect police operations in the future?
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3b6_1454033417
I guess I'll bump this one because the other one is 150 posts over the bump limit.
What the fuck was with the agent diving in front of the car? Was he thinking he'd heroically square up and shoot the driver, like they were going to make it through the snow and have a chase? What the fuck?
>>28724662
Most likely he didn't see the swerve into the snow and thought the cars would be hit.

Ugh the Iran offering looked better than this shit.
I got a question, well several.
Which round do you prefer? And what are the pros and cons of each.
I've got both. I like both.
I do use my AR for precision shooting over my AK, but that is simply because it's easier to mount a scope on my AR.
They're completely different rounds.
Different strokes for different folks.
Although .223 has it's merits, I find 7.62x39 more useful for my purposes. I can legally hunt deer with it (loads such as PPU SP's have excellent terminal performance), great barrier penetration, cheap surplus is available (Canada). There's all sorts of other nitpicky arguments one could make, but they both do roughly the same job. They kill stuff with supersonic projectiles. That said, they both have their own niche, and it's up to you to see which one fits your uses better.
7.62
> more energy at the muzzle
> excellent for SBRs
> great barrier penetration
> legal for CPX2 game
> cheap ammo
>only good for <300m
.223
> flatter shooting, longer range
> light recoil
> wide range of loads to choose from
> legal for varmints only (in Canada anyway)
5.45
