It's like if you were fighting Mike Tyson who also had his pet tiger and a pair of brass knuckles but could only attack you on the weekend, at 2 am and only after he recites Moby Dick before 3 am, while also making sure he prays and makes sure you don't have any allergies to specific medications.

At the time, there was a whole lot of media fluff pieces about how America was going to save freedom and bring burgers to the middle east by arming the moderate rebels and then a few months later a horde of well armed jihadi meth head rapists go on a rampage. No proof that the two things were related, but it certainly looked that way.

The one commonality between jihadis is an embracing of a death wish, odd fantasies and rejection of norms. They believe weird cosmic stuff about how their wounds will ooze perfume and they'll rise directly to Heaven to meet Allah when they die.

There are counter-terrorist schools like Mirror Image that train soldiers and contractors how to be terrorists. Basically, they encourage people to break the rules. If you're team terrorist and have a kidnapped "ambassador," then you "shoot" the guy and then drive a "truck bomb" into the blue team's HQ. And if they go "wait, we can't do that, that's against the rules," then that's exactly what you're supposed to do if you're playing on the terrorist team.

With the caveats that it's not a Mark IV and it's a Tacsol Paclite, my Mark III 22/45 is NOT reliable beyond ~300 rounds especially when suppressed. The bolt and mags cause problems when dirty.

T-55s are one one the best things on earth, i've seriously considered buying on a few times. They cost less than a decent new truck.

There are wargame autists who play wargames so much you can buy special upgrade kits for your Syrian T-55s that have the basic DPRK upgrade kit for your retard accurate model, i think that they are solely supported by officer training academies:

For me, it's the Knox-class. Definitely the best looking frigates ever put to sea - the central radar tower and the layout in general is so fucking cool. It's a shame how stealth these days forces everything into a generic and predictable design.

Once again, your definition of "police action" seems to involve combat against a hostile nation, which isn't what LCS is for. The most dangerous adversary it will ever see is an inflatable raft with an RPG-7. Think of the job description of the NSC. Now imagine that that job needs to be done somewhere overseas, whether that's port security in an occupied shithole (with a carrier battlegroup nearby in case the neighbors get uppitty), or assisting an allied nation. If there's actual fighting to be done with Iran, the LCS won't be there's except maybe tagging along with a battlegroup where there's juicier targets anyway if anyone has the balls to engage it.

the pintle mounts were already a staple when the US was just entering the war and they hadnt yet realized air supremacy but assumed the enemy would have some control of the skies and so everything needed at least a .30, but preferably a .50, for self-defense
and while a single .50 is only a deterrent at best, a whole platoon with .50s pointed at the skies, and a whole platoon of half-tracks with their .50s doing the same, and every jeep in the vicinity with a .30 adding a tiny extra help, then your odds of producing a lucky hit go way up

but they were kept on the tank long after the luftwaffe was destroyed as an effective fighting force because it just so happened to be really good at fire support
the .50 could easily punch through brick or sand bags and could be used to hose down enemy positons
a common modification was to remove the .50 from the back of the turret of the M4 and move it to the front so that the commander could fire it from inside the vehicle, preventing it from being used as an AA weapon entirely but making it superior in the ground role

remember, you don't have to shoot down the flyer, getting him to miss is still a success for AD work, even a handful of tracers can get a pilot to flinch off target. But generally yes.

Fjallraven offshoring wouldn't bother me so much if they didn't obviously try so fucking hard to keep it quiet and plaster big swedish flag tags all over it and hope you don't notice the tiny, tiny, tiny "made in vietnam" and then STILL charge "Made in Sweden" prices for it.

In general I was pretty disappointed in my Vidda Pros for actual hard outdoor use. They seem to mostly be targeting the "guy at the brewery trying to give off an outdoorsy vibe" crowd because mine had holes in the knees and a blown-out crotch after 3 weeks of use in the field. If I had paid full price I would've been pissed lol.

That's a really solid 8/10, maybe even 8.5/10. Nice effort, anon.

What hurt it, BTW, is knowing it's a chopper that's been sitting there unmoved & unused for 20 years and missing its windshield ... hurts the "already fueled" narrative. Needed something to indicate they knew they were blowing up junk from the getgo. Maybe

>T: OK, but can we make it the one opposite the camera? Is also convenient to put fuel in it, first.

I don’t know about the Georgia situation nor do I have some sort of grand unified theory on the Russian energy war. I was just as ignorant as you after the war started. It wasn’t after seriously researching the issue from all angles that seemed somewhat realistic did I finally find one theory that made most sense, and following that up with more research just made it more solid and nothing even remotely comes close to explaining what it happening.
Here’s the only video I found that does an okay job of explaining the basics: https://youtu.be/If61baWF4GE?si=QH5ecE7nBnGQeGkt

bespoke maker of trade knives and tourist knives like the Sheffield Bowie, late 1800's-early 1900s, brand has been recycled a few times and new items are replicas, which is ironic since the original brand were replicas/lifestyle knives. Some collector's value to the older ones but since probably 20+ English shops put out knives with that brand mark its really hard to differentiate(sic).
kinda like Belgian velo-dogs or hardware store shotguns.

So i recently acquired a 40mm grenade case and thought it would be a cool shot glass. Im not a fan of heavy metal poising so i figured i should clean it out and then probably insert a liner of some sort in it. Would it be better to punch out the inner bottom and nestle a normal glass inside? Could I electroplate it with copper? Should i instead try coating it with a food safe resin? Anyone else like making trench art?

I work with gold electroplating, and some client asked me to do some stuff on his CZ gun that kinda looks like the one on the photo.

I dry fired a couple of times after doing the work, returned to him, and now he is claiming that I broke his gun because I dry fired.

Wtf, it sounds like a scam to me.

There is no way an item made of steel could break this easily, right?

Too specific to be believable. Next time just say it was "some old gun" and then have the other anons guess. Then when someone posts a CZ52 you say "oh shit, that's what it was" or something along those lines. You can't give everything away all at once like that.
