What is the most traumatizing thing you've ever witnessed?

I've seen some pretty heavy (non-/k/) shit over the past few days and could use a little camaraderie, I guess.

So Japanese giant hornets are scary af and apparently the sting is like being set on fire, also it attracts other hornets. Could be used in mass to scatter/kill a battalion of enemies without casualties (save for the hornets, brave bastards)

Can we weaponize them? Any ideas on delivery method?

A-Team client defense

I didn't see a thread on this here so I'll make one now.

On January 16th John Lang, an activist critical of police tactics in Fresno, California, was stabbed to death and burned in his home. The day this happened he put out a call for help begging any legal gun owner in the area to spend the night at his home to protect him from his killers.

Firstly, why did no one respond? There must be at least a few /k/omrades in Fresno. Maybe it wasn't sufficiently advertised but even though I live in the midwest I feel like a ball was dropped.

Secondly, scenario time. You have good reason to believe that a local sheriff and his cadre of corrupt deputards are going to kill a man in or near your community. His only hope is you and whatever team of crack commandos and soldiers of fortune you can assemble in a span of 24 hours. How do you defend a residence from hostile invasion when calling the cops will only make things worse? You will need to contend with the following:

-Thermal imaging cameras

-Audio bugs and hidden cameras inside the home

-Surveillance patrols and stakeout cars

-Multiple intruders with access to body armor and SMGs

-Cali gun laws

-Hostile LE and local news media

Remember that even with video surveillance of the residence and surrounding area LE broke into the home at least twice before the murder so they may have access to alternate entry points.

Give us your plan to keep the client alive and preferably catch or kill the intruders in the act.

Best way to arm Germans

What weapons should German citizens be buying to defend themselves against imminent Muslim attacks?

Apparently guns designed before 1870 require no license. The Uberti 1860 Henry and Chiappa 1860 Spencer look promising, though I'm not sure about the German laws on purchasing .45LC ammunition.

Pro Gun Billboard Shitposting Campaign in Australia

G'day /k/

There's a pro-firearms group in Straya called Firearm Owners United (check them out on fb) that's run by a group of extremely motivated /k/ommandos and shooters, It's been quickly gaining headway within the firearms community and been the bane of the anti-gun media over the past couple of years, to the point where these guys are now getting invited to the unveiling of new Australian-made guns.

Inspired by the great successes of burgerland over the past 30 years for self defence and derestricting guns in general, they're currently having a donation drive to put up pro-fun billboards all across Australia for the purpose of defending gun rights and getting salt on a grand scale, the biggest yet in fact.

The pro-gun movements in Australia have been picking up some real steam now that the #Chan-raised youngbloods are displacing the old fudds of the previous "pro gun" organisations.

Even with the anniversary of the port arthur massacre coming up shortly, we've never been stronger, well organised or as well funded overall, and frankly it's because we've seen you guys do it and we want to emulate that.

But we're still small, and still a bit short on cash for getting real world stuff done in a timely manner.

I am not apart of the guys organising this, but it is something I really want to happen and hope that I can convince some of you to help chip in to make this a reality.

The exchange rate between USD and AUD is 1.34 at the moment, and the buying power per dollar is about the same. So any dollar you guys can spare is multiplied by an extra third in real terms.

Thanks /k/unts.

What WW2 tank would you want to drive, /k/?

Would you vote for me? my stance on gun rights:

repeal the 1934 NFA. nobody cares if your rifle is 15.9999 inches, you have a silencer or a machine gun.

repeal the 1968 GCA. let's import guns again. and if you're out of jail, you've done your debt to society. you shouldn't be branded for life. (repeat felons is more of a criminal justice problem which is a whole other story)

repeal hughes amendment. let the free market prohibit machine guns to undesirables (I can imagine a full auto gun selling for no less than $3000 today)

if a gun is used in a crime, make the punishment much more severe.

Liking guns = masculine issues argument

Like I seriously don't get this argument. Its typically done by gender specials or those that support them so why use it as a means of insult? These are typically the same people that say having a boy wear a dress is fine/toxic masculinity is bad/objects can and cannot be gendered/etc. Can you not own a gun and be a transfaggot to these people or something?

They claim to believe that gender roles are bad/are social constructs yet will then try to shame those who disagree with them by saying they have small dicks/are compensating. Which is also something that runs counter to their views. I thought you didn't need a to have a dick to be a man, and that these gender stereotypes are false or don't exist?

This isn't even getting into the whole dildo edits thing. Which considering how sex/gender obsessed these people tend to be, why is having a dildo an insult? Couldn't it be seen as kink shaming or homophobic from their view? Since they are saying guns=dildos and guns=bad, therefore dildos=bad?

I am seriously trying to figure out all this shit.

Also pics/edits to fuck with this line of reasoning if you got any.

I want to build 1:1 scale Type-74 MBT replica! Please help!

Hi, I am a Japanese Canadian from Progressive Canada. I hate my country and I want to burn down all the feminists and gay rights activists in this country.

Apart from that, I would like to build a 1:1 scale Type-74 MBT replica either next year or a year later at college after I get enough funding for it.

It will be made out of wood and metal and the tracks can move and the turret can rotate. Lights will flicker and most functions of the real Type-74 will be added to the replica if there is enough money in the bucket left. The gun can also fire plastic water bottles and it will have generic tank sounds unless some guy from Japan can give me the audio files for authentic engine sound and firing sounds.

The internals will be near 1:1 scale as well. I have my friend covering that for me. He almost has all the information needed to create a full realization of the inner workings and internals of the cockpit or whatever it's called.

However, some information is missing. He needs the following info:

>Type 74 Turret Controls

>-Where is the Turret Traverse controls located?

>-What type of controls are the joystick or steering column? Pictures or sketch of the controls would be appreciated.

>-Is there an manual traverse system?

>Type 74 Gun Controls

>-What Type of Reticle is used for the J1 Gun sight?

>-Where is the Cannon Trigger located?

>-Is there an manual cocking lever for the Cannon?

>Type 74 Driver Hydropneumatic suspension Controls

>-Where is the control panel located?

You might be wondering, why help me? Why create an replica of an inferior Cold War Era tank?

The answer is Anime Conventions and to capture the attention of Japanese (or Canadian or American) Heavy Industries Corporations. "GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There" is one of the most popular military anime/manga/novel series out there. Bringing a replica tank featured in the series at any anime or geek convention will grant me and my engineering team free passes and possibly hotel stays for the duration of the event. Not to mention my team may get special treatment at the conventions and our creation will be great on our portfolio.

I don't know what kind of reward I can give you if you help me. So throw some suggestions. Also, it'd be great if one of you can translate this into Japanese and post it on 2ch or any Japanese image board.

Thanks.

Nuclear bunker disparity between East-West bloc.

RF just finished construction on 5,000 new nuclear shelters in the Moscow area. Each to hold roughly 1000 people each, for a total of 5 million people protected.

Not exactly a big secret because it's been known for a few years, but the project has just been completed. They were planned to be completed in 2012 but it became difficult to construct them secretly due to public attention and lack of funds.

It's likely similar programs are undergoing in every major Russian city.

Soldiers paying for their own kit. How does it work?

Throughout history, the tradition of "bring your own shit" has been well established. Shields were often family heirlooms. Your daddy defended his lands with it, and so would you. Swords were expensive symbols of status, since your average working man only had enough coin for the bit of iron/steel on the end of his stick. Horses ranged in price just like cars do today, so a fit warhorse was not in every noble's price range.

Armor was generally not like the gleaming, perfect metalwork we see in museums today. There is a reason these pieces of armor made it to museums: A smith would rather smelt down his own scrotum than cannibalize a priceless, irreplaceable masterwork. Kind of like how you guys react when someone brings up re-configuring their SKS as a bullpup, but more extreme. Your average soldier's kit was much different, it was fashioned from smelted pots and pans, and it can be pots and pans once again. I'll post some interesting pics and a video on this topic later. Basically, trash armor is actually a rare and precious find when you're an archaeologist.

In another thread, Strelok was talking about how North Korean grunts are actually prolific looters and extortionists in their own country. Because the government is too fucking poor to feed them, so they have to "buy" it themselves.

My question is, how does this work in practice? How should it change the way we imagine historic battles and sieges? Which armies have been the exception? I'm guessing the Romans and Spartans are the big ones here.

What got me thinking about this topic was the cataphract, aka "the completely covered." These guys bought their own shit, and it must have taken some Dubai-tier disposable income to fund your own heavy cavalry set. Heavy cavalry was analogous to the modern day MBT, so just imagine buying one of those yourself. So how did one qualify as a cataphract? Did you just start calling yourself that after strapping your horse with a certain amount of mail, or did the Cataphract Club send over someone to evaluate your armor-horse? What about Cheap Abdul who bought only the bare essentials, does he get in?

There is also the question of command. As a modern commander you rely on the fact that a unit of troops has the same training and kit as another. How do you deal with the fact that one knight's band, one pike square, one unit of X may have bought vastly different equipment than the other. I get the impression that they may have gone off of reputation alone. Because I remember reading about this time a band of Swiss mercenary pikemen were sent to finish off a weakened square of enemies, only to be routed themselves. Leading to the commander to reevaluate his mercenary investment.

Naming a tank

A friend of mine is writing a book in a diesel punk universe in which the British are far more advanced than other nations and are imperialistic.

The tank in question is the M18 hellcat with the 76mm cannon. the crew is a group of mercs and we have already discussed customization, however we dont know about a name. think sly, vain, and greedy, what would a group of mercs name their tank?

The tank is factory new and equipped with a 76mm gun, but what would you do to improve the performance of the tank as well?

Hey /k/. My dictatorial parents are forcing me to join the Navy. It's their final solution to ridding of me ever since I magically became an adult due to some arbitrary age.

I was already planning to join, but I had wanted to achieve peak performance in my body, learn a couple skills, and learn a couple languages before enlisting. Plus, I think I'm simply too fucking young and coddled to join right off the bat of turning 18.

Anyway, I've come here to ask what position I'll be in after I join. Will I be some expendable petty faggot who peels potatos and washes socks? I don't trust recruiters as I view them as salesmen. Goddamn, I'm pissed; I feel like joining the Marines and dying for Israel just out of spite for my parents.

Lefteye/Righteye dominance

Hey /k/, what is your eye dominance and how do you deal with being cross-eye dominant?

Meaning: Your hand dominance doesn't correspond with your eye dominance.

I am left-eye dominant and right-handed, should I learn to shoot with the left hand on the trigger?

What are the advantages?

I can imagine I could dual-wield a pistol in the left hand and a knife in the right hand, so I got my more agile hand doing the cutting and my lesser one doing the shooting, but at least it will be easier to shoot.

(Am I secretly masterrace???)

You can't really change your eye dominance btw. You see some people for some strange reason to rather shoot with their agile hand, but squint like a retard or put on special glasses which covers the dominant eye.

I don't think this is the right approach, especially since you loose out on an excellent opportunity to train your less agile hand.

PS:

Did firearms-era europea know about this? Would they have been able to train more accurate shooters if they took in cross-eye dominance into account?

Old school provisioning

Which is to say, let's say shit hit the fan in such a big, horrifying way, that we could no longer do conventional modern provisioning with MREs and similarly preserved goods of the modern era for innawoods/SHTF, and we'd be stuffing our packs with whatever we could grow or trade for locally.

Naturally, this means what a /k/ommando in, say, Alaska, will pack is going to be very different from what a /k/ommando in (in my case) Florida will pack for sustenance. But what I'm getting at is that MREs kind of run the full gamut, with entrees, desserts, and so on, so they kinda cover all the bases. But for centuries, that wasn't the case. Romans had military issue corn/grain rations, would usually be restricted to boiled/roasted meat on campaign and so on, and in later periods armies would forage (and in many cases, loot and ravage the countryside to do it).

What I'm saying is, if you had to grow your own food for innawoods cheeki breeki stuff, what would you go for, to cover as many angles as possible?

>a .410 sub machine gun

a double barreled machine gun where the rearward travel of one bolt sends the other forward into battery, imagine a stormboter from 40k

>a break action rifle/shotgun bullpup where you actually pull back the butt plate to reveal the chamber

I want this nonsense to exist /co/ but learning gunsmithing myself to do this just ain't economical

>Everyone went insane, there are politicians screaming inside the Presidential Palace right now "GIVE UP, RENOUNCE, GET OUT DILMA".

>The military was called to hold of the population, but there are already thousands of people, and they surrounded the palace, some are carrying ropes, Bolsonaro ( some sort of poor man's Donald Trump) is outside the palace rallying the popular to invade the palace and force both lula and dilma to pay for their crimes.

Guys, let's say that, hypothetically, my country would fall in a civil war, what could a normal citizen like me do to help fighting the government? I have a .380 pistol(highest pistol caliber available here) with 30 bullets, a bow with 4 arrows and an old shotgun with no ammo. Should i even try to make a stand or should i just flee to the mountains and hope to regroup with fellow countrymen in that situation? Everything is hypothetical, of course.

Toledo War Part Deux

Suddenly angered over something definitely not the latest primary results so don't even think of suggesting it, the good citizens of Michigan have decided to try and annex Toledo once again. Your forces consist primarily of angry militiamen, some portion of the local National Guard, a large portion of the Coast Guard as they finally get a chance to act like a member of the armed forces, and whatever funding the University of Michigan can sneak your way for escalating the football rivalry. What is your plan of battle? Are you willing to advance the line past Toledo? If you hate fun and like holding the line, you can command Ohio forces instead.

Fellow Germans

Greetings my fellow Germans, I have a simple question to you. How long until you are willing to stand up for your rights/freedoms and stop abiding to our almost tyrannical government, what will it take to stand up and take the power back to the people ?

I am not saying this because of the migrant crisis, this is not the problem this is a symptom just as all the others "problems" are, and that problem is that our German government doesn't try to stand for their people, they do it for multiple reasons, some are scared to be name called, some do it for personal gain, some do it to stay in position of power but when is it enough ?

ARGENTINA SANK A CHINESE VESSEL IN AN ACT OF WAR

Argentina's navy announced Tuesday that it used gunfire to sink a boat flying the Chinese flag that was fishing illegally in national waters.

The navy statement said the boat was intercepted Monday off the coast of Puerto Madryn, about 907 miles (1,460 kilometers) south of Buenos Aires.

The statement said the boat did not heed warning calls and instead tried to ram an Argentine naval vessel. Sailors then shot holes in different parts of the fishing boat, causing it to sink, the navy said.

All four people on board were rescued and arrested. They remain in custody.

71-year old man kills man who tried to rob him

http://archive.is/qlYai

>A 71-year-old Hampton man shot and killed a teenage robbery suspect Sunday afternoon, according to police.

>[LEOs] arrived on scene to find 18-year-old Jafari Mitchell suffering from a gunshot wound. EMS transported Mitchell to the hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival

>Hampton Police Public Information Officer Ashley Jenrette said, “The victim did fear for his safety. He was cooperative. He called 911, he remained on scene so officers could speak with him…he will not be charged.”

>Police say there are no charges being sought against the 71-year-old man.

>According to police, the 71-year-old who did not want to be interviewed, was legally carrying a gun, and acted in self-defense. Mitchell’s step-sister who doesn’t want to be identified said, “I don’t know how this guy [the 71-year-old victim] claims self-defense when Jafari was shot in the back.”

>In the final twist of irony, this is what Jafari Mitchell told 10 On Your Side last August when we asked him how he felt when he witnessed the drive by shooting, “There are too many people dying in the world. We need to end this and stop the violence, that’s all I know.”

>Ironically, Mitchell lost his life because he was killed after committing what police say was a violent act.

U.S. Soldiers taught about white privilege

http://archive.is/9Qgt8

>Soldiers in the U.S. Army were subjected to a “white privilege” briefing last April during which they were advised that American society “attaches privilege to being white and male and heterosexual.”

>Documents obtained from the Army through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request shed light on the diversity training briefing, which was given to 400 soldiers in the 67th Signal Battalion at Fort Gordon, Georgia, last year. While one slide from the PowerPoint presentation used in the briefing previously sparked outrage, the contents of the full “Power and Privilege” slideshow had not been publicly released until now.

>“Privilege exists when one group has something of value that is denied to others simply because of the groups they belong to, rather than because of anything they’ve done or failed to do. Privilege has become one of those loaded words we need to reclaim so that we can use it to name and illuminate the truth,” the slideshow read.

>“Our society attaches privilege to being white and male and heterosexual regardless of your social class.”

>“Imagine a school or a workplace where all kinds of people feel comfortable showing up … valued, accepted, supported, appreciated, respected, belonging,” the presentation continued. “Something very powerful keeps this from us. The truth of this powerful forces is everywhere, but we don’t know how to talk about it and so we act as though it doesn’t exist.”

>The slideshow instructed the soldiers that such privilege results in a “yawning divide in levels of income, wealth, dignity, safety, health and quality of life [and] promotes fear, suspicion, discrimination, harassment, and violence.”

>The presentation also featured a hypothetical story about a black woman to illustrate that the United States is “organized according to race.”

>“Consider the ‘black woman’ in Africa who has not experienced white racism and does not identify herself as a ‘black woman.’ African, a woman, but not black. She only became ‘black’ when she came to the U.S. where privilege is organized according to race, where she is assigned to a social category that bears that name and she is treated differently as a result,” the slideshow read.

>The slideshow instructed “privileged” soldiers to do something about the alleged problem.

>“The trouble we’re in can’t be solved unless the ‘privileged’ make the problem of privilege their problem and do something about it. The fact that it’s so easy for me and other people in dominant groups not to do this is the single most powerful barrier to change,” the presentation concluded.

Is there such a thing as a depression-safe weapon?

I have depression, which is usually considered a contraindication for gun ownership. Are there any kinds of weapons that don't present a significant suicide risk? The most promising idea I've thought of so far is a bow and arrow.

If it's relevant, I have a mix of reasons for wanting a weapon: partly on general principles of self-defense and civic duty, and partly because I think there's a psychological thing where having a lethal weapon makes you a different sort of person.

Any advice?

Self-Defense weapon for Grandparents

The area that my grandparents live in is getting very violent as of late; kids killed a hobo with a brick for his bike, neighbors houses get robbed, a skinhead recently got out of prison and did a drug deal right in front of their house, and last night a truck ran into a nearby convenience store and robbed it. I want to get them something to defend themselves in case someone tries to rob them (She's 60, he's 50 her other two husbands both died), however there may be complications.

My grandfather is a convicted felon; when he was younger he would sell illegal weapons and drugs across the country, once he got out though he hasn't done it since. The problem here is that I'm afraid if he uses a weapon in SD that he himself might also get arrested or that I also might get arrested for knowingly allowing a firearm to be where a convicted felon can acquire it. What do?

ISIS plans on using Mustard Gas

http://archive.is/5myu8

>The detainee was identified by officials as Sleiman Daoud al-Afari, a chemical and biological weapons expert who once worked for Saddam Hussein’s Military Industrialization Authority.

>Mr. al-Afari, described by the military as a “significant” Islamic State operative who was captured a month ago by commandos in an elite American Special Operations force, has, under interrogation, provided his captors with details about how the group had weaponized mustard gas into powdered form and loaded it into artillery shells, the officials said.

>One official said that the gas was not concentrated enough to kill anyone, but that it could maim people.

>Defense Department officials insist that the United States had no plans to hold the detainee or any other captives indefinitely, and that they would be handed over to the Iraqi and Kurdish authorities after they had been interviewed. The officials say they did not intend to establish a long-term American facility to hold Islamic State detainees, and Obama administration officials have ruled out sending any to the United States military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

>Mr. al-Afari was captured last month, shortly after the arrival in Iraq of a new Special Operations force that is made up primarily of Delta Force commandos. They are the first major American combat force on the ground there since the United States pulled out of the country at the end of 2011.

>Before this, the American military has largely fought the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, with airstrikes, killing large numbers of Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria. But the 200-member Special Operations team has been given the task of killing and capturing Islamic State operatives, the latter in particular to use in gathering intelligence.

>The United States has long suspected the Islamic State of using sulfur mustard, a chemical warfare agent, and last year officials said that they had confirmed the presence of the mustard gas on fragments of ordnance used in Islamic State attacks in Syria and Iraq. Laboratory tests, which were also performed on scraps of clothing from victims, showed the presence of a partially degraded form of HD, also known as distilled sulfur mustard, a substance banned internationally that burns a victim’s skin, airways and eyes.

Why didn't the US adopt the Spencer repeating rifle?

Why didn't the American army adopt the Spencer repeating rifle formally?

They were only issued in limited numbers during the Civil War in America thanks to Abraham Lincoln. I know that the Northern Generals thought it would not make a difference, be a waste of ammo and cost to much. But it's brief service history and the Siege of Plevna in 1877 showed. Repeating firepower do give each individual solider a tremendous advantage. The Spencer rifle and carbine were strong and reliable, and it would not be difficult to convert them to fire centerfire cartridges. I just find it strange that it was used in relatively large quantities during the civil war and showed its potential and were just thrown away as soon as the war ended.

Also I saw gun Jesus made a video about the Kel-Tec RDB which looks pretty cool but doesn't seem to be available anywhere (other than two guns I found on gunbroker, but they're about $800 more than Kel-Tec's MSRP.

So is there any advantage to getting an Aug that takes the waffle mags /k/? Also general bullpup thread I guess.

Rail-gun

I haven't seen a thread on this topic before, so i was wondering how /k/ feels about both portable, and massive rail-guns. Or hybrid chemical propulsion/rail-guns. Do you guys think they will be practical, or some futuristic sounding gimmick?

Why is Prince Harry armed with a SA80?

Shooting of police officers followed by common sense from government officials

For those that are unaware there was a dindu nuffin (complete with prior prison sentence in the max security wing of one of our hardest prisons) who shot at 4 officers doing a sweep for marijuana in forestry with a shotgun and .22lr rifle after they presumably found his plantation.

The dindu (who again, dindu nuffin) then had an armed standoff with police which lasted for 22 hours before surrendering (embed related).

http://www.whaleoil.co.nz/2016/03/usual-suspects-pushing-for-gun-control-after-kawerau/

Following this several opposition members of parliament from the Greens (environmental commies) have said that we need more gun control including mandatory registration for all firearms, current police and corrections minister (a woman) has come out and said that we dont need more gun control since

>similar regimes overseas have proven “very ineffective and very expensive”, while doing little to stop criminals accessing guns

and

>"All that will do is add a huge amount of work to police…for very little outcome, because all the people who are legally in charge of firearms would go and register them, and all the criminals wouldn’t."

Instead she feels that the best way to combat gun crime would be to give police greater ability to search the homes of people convicted of prior firearms offenses

>Instead she favours a regime of firearm prohibition orders, currently being developed, which would allow police to search the homes of those with previous gun offences to ensure they did not have any weapons.

So /k/, it seems that the person who will ultimately gave to sign into law any more gun control in NZ says that further gun control wont work at stopping gun crime, thoughts?

So, a former Marine shoots his pastor (he says 12 times with .45, medics say it was 6 times). It was two days ago. Marine says that pastor was actually a Martian lizard. After thath Marine doesn't try to kill anybody else and goes to the White House where he throws a falsh drive over the fence. He also wrote a manifesto about how pastor was a lizard and he's not alone.

The kicker is that pastor lived, More than lived, he is now concious and can give people thumbs up. After he got shot 6 times, of which 3 were headshots.

So, /k, is it possible? Pic is Odom's drawing of a Martian lizard.

Naval strategy

You are in charge of developing a small east Asian country's navy ( think Burma or Guam ). Your fleet currently consists of converted fishing vessels, small boats, skiffs, and an oil tanker used for at sea replenishment.

What tactics do you use.

Do you form alliances with neighboring countries or the usa?

Do you pour money into ship building and pier development?

Do you play the China game and use your naby to bully and encroach on neighbors?

Or do you go full pirate and Jack everyone's shut up?

Open discussion on anything naval is welcome.

EUROKORPS: Civilian Militias

A SHTF in Europe is seeming increasingly probable as racial and religious tensions increase across the continent.

In a hypothetical situation, let's imagine that a nation in Middle / Eastern Europe Hungary has begun a civil militia program open to foreigners. Members of the militia must supply themselves with their own arms, food, and equipment. The government will give you water, ammunition, and some limited training on things like first aid and general marksmanship.

The government has also opened customs so that foreigners may bring their own weapons if they have any.

>What do you bring with you?

>What do you plan to buy there?

You will then be given the choice to join one of three groups.

>A. Railway guard; you will be tasked with traveling the rail ways and clearing any and all refugees off of the lines, as it's a popular method of travel throughout Europe. You will be given the authority to board any train within the country's railway lines and any line within it's conquested territory, and remove all Middle eastern men ages 15-35 from the train by any means necessary.

>B. Border patrol; you will be tasked with patrolling a selected area of common borders with other militants. You will stop any and all refugees from crossing the border. You will be deployed in an area for 4 days out of the week, with a different patrol area every week in order to keep militias on their toes.

>C. Irregulars; Several countries within the region have made a temporary military alliance in order to launch an offensive into Turkey to reclaim Constantinople/Istanbul and all together cut off the railway lines leading into Europe from the Middle East. You will be tasked with supporting their offensives by launching formally unplanned attacks on the enemy, harassing enemy supply lines, and engaging in unorganized offenses on the Turkish infrastructure.

What do choose? Why?

>deployed in crapganistan

>base has portopoties

>one of the mobile shit houses is compleatly full, smell like death,

>no one goes in, nothing comes out

>water convoy arives with liquid of life

/k/ inventors thread

How about we show some appreciation to the inventors who made great advances in the development of weapons?

Leonardo Da Vinci, one of history's renowned polymaths, is credited with the invention of the modern hair trigger. If it were not for his contribution: people would have continued to shoot their crossbows and firearms with ticklers and push buttons until John Browning would, no doubt, have invented it himself.

No, it's not the /k/ inventors thread.

Alright /k/ommandos, I need your best minds with experience in electronics. I have an idea. What if(pic related) you could make a generator powered by a motor, so that when the motor spins it supplies power to a bank of capacitors, which power the motor, and repeats this process indefinitely? So the capacitor bank will need to charge up first, which can be done with a battery/hand crank and will supply the motor with enough energy to power it and power itself? If it can be done, could you tap power off of it and use it to power small electronics, such as a battery charger? I'd call it the SAJ (pronounced sage) Generator.

Hey /k/, I recently sifted through the army manuals section of that 300 gb torrent, making a "short" list of around 110~ manuals that I could see being very useful in a long term SHTF/societal collapse situation. One thing sorely missing, however, were self sustainability instructions.

Things like agriculture, how to find/manufacture useful chemicals without specialty equipment, and stuff like that.

So I made this thread to share some of my meager findings in this department, as well as ask for more.

Let's have a thread for collecting everything you would need knowledge wise to build a self sustaining community that can last decades.

I found this site off google, so if it's shit forgive me. The books seem to be fine.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as bullet, is in fact, cartridge/bullet, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, cartridge plus bullet. Bullet is not an complete munition unto itself, but rather component of a fully functioning cartridge made useful by barrel, bolt and vital components comprising a full firearm as defined by John Browning.

Many firearm users use a variety of cartridges every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the smokeless self contained metallic cartridges which is widely used today is often called “Bullet”, and many of its users are not aware that it is called a cartridge, developed century ago. There really is a bullet, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of a cartridge they use.

Russian invasion

OK, let's say lord emperor Trump is elected, and the US and Russia form strong relations. If you were Putin, and the US would not interfere, how would you go about invading Europe?

I'm working on a kind of tabletop grand strategy post-apoc game. I'm posting here because I need help with developing a tech system for military equipment that makes sense. Please give me your input, suggestions and constructive criticism/feedback.

Since it's a post-apoc game, I'm not going to use traditional tech levels based off historical eras since it doesn't make too much sense (except for maybe the 1960s onwards where you need more complex tools to make even more complex tools). Instead, the "tech level" would be split between your Blueprints (knowledge on what to build) and Technology Infrastructure Level (how advanced your tools and infrastructure are).

TIL 1 factions may still be able to use advanced technology, just their idea of power tools are muscle-powered. So anything they make will be improvised and/or very simple.

TIL 2 factions are probably what an average wasteland civilization is. Anything that can be made in a small basic workshop with some power tools can be done.

TIL 3 means you probably need factories or much better equipped shops. They can make anything that doesn't require fancy plastics or electronics. Think 1960s technology in some areas at most. So a large enough TIL polity could theoretically make something like the T-55.

TIL 4 means bigger factories with automation that are capable of doing things like making microchips. I'd say tech wise it's the equivalent of the 1990s to a few decades from now.

TIL 5 (& 6?) would be pre-war technology.

Here's what I'm thinking weapons wise so far. Tell me what you think? I'm willing to expand the TILs a bit if they're non-sensical, but I don't want to get

TIL 1 Small Arms: (Makeshift) Melee weapons, Bows, Crossbows, Zip Guns, Blackpowder grenades,

TIL 2 Small Arms: Melee weapons, Caplock breechloading/repeating firearms, Open-bolt SMGs, SxS shotguns, Dynamite, Mines

>Can make cardboard & paper cartridges. Can't make metal cased ammunition, but can reload them (?).

TIL 3 Small Arms: Any kind of (1890s+) modern small arms that don't require fancy plastic or electronics.

TIL4 Small Arms: Contemporary -> near future. Think caseless ammunition, advanced optics and the like.

The idea is that a recently colonized, terraformed world got caught in a proxy war which fucked up/mutated the ecosystem, destroyed most of the settlements and destroyed the precious few propreitary STCs/von neumann machines they had with them. Now ~100-120 years later, new societies are springing up. Some struggle to survive, others thrive. Or maybe it happened on an alternate dimension. I'm not going with Earth so there would be more accessible resource deposits besides ruins.

Gory webm's very welcome

We haven't had a thread like this in a while so here goes. I'll start something probably none of you know about

This is the polish experimental Lantan rifle.

In years 1973 - 1975 in the Military University of Technology in Warsaw there has been numerous experiments, the purpose of which was to find a round that would have better characteristics than the 7.62x39mm ammo.

The result of this was the 7 x 41 mm ammo. After this has been done, in 1976 they started to work on a rifle that would be fed this round in multiple versions, ranging from an assault rifle and sniper rifle version to a heavy machinegun version. In 1980, 2 prototypes have been made, one of which is on the related photos (the stock has been chewed away by age and the mag is not original). The estimated muzzle velocity was 770 m/s and the speed of firing was 450 RPM. The 2nd prototype has been lost from what I gather.

The tests of the ammo proved that it was generally great, but due to high costs of manufacturing further research was cancelled.

Anyone got any more of these?
