>>42109364I remember reading something like this was in the works a few years ago. A instant medical "background" check.It will create a new set of problems for the white lies people tell at MEPs because waiting on a wavier is pointless for a non issue.

So how did a group of armed civilians with no training manage to fight the best trained army with the most experienced special forces in the world and kill 8 times more professional soldiers than they lost themselves?
>>42100044eh Belfast is the only other actual city on the Island and has some decent heavy industry (Short Bros./Bombardier and Harland & Wolff) so there's value to be had there. Rest of NI is just a poorer version of rural island though.

>>42109419Its kind of pointless to read these without having head 10 or 20 books on Irish history as a general starter try Ireland since the famineF. S. L. Lyons
Sean Boyne, an expert on defence and arms trafficking gives us a facinating but disturbing insight into the shadowy world of arms dealers, spies and moles. With interviews with the dealers, agents and traffickers involved in the movement of huge quantities of arms into Ireland in the 1970s and 1980s, Sean Boyne exposes many of the little-known aspects of this part of Irish history, such as the IRA's connections to the KGB and Libya. Fully illustrated, with high quality photographs and graphs throughout, Gunrunners lays bare the hidden world of some of the most dangerous people who played a part in this often misunderstood part of Irish history.
>>42109419>Tim Pat Coogan The IRAThis is the masterwork on the topic really. He also did a biography of Michael Collins. 3-2-1 Bomb gone is a read for any EOD experts, its the account of an EOD in northern Ireland at the height of the bombing capaigns
Why did boomers horde so much .22LR ammo back in the Obama days? Like I get hunting or self-defense ammo, but was buying every box of .22 in a store really necessary?
Easy turnaround.
>>42109355Remember Sandy Hook all the way back in 2012? There was a HUGE fear of something that was going to make the 1994 AWB look like childs play, especially due to all of the normies and soccer moms. .22lr as a result actually became rather expensive [spoiler]totally not from ammo companies trying to geg a quick buck from the nonstop fear mongering[/doesnotwork] so people were buying an asinine amount of .22lr and other ammunition. Funny how much times have changed though, Vegas was pretty much a ghost story after a few weeks, even with all of the glow in the dark stuff involved and the body count Paddock had.
>>42109366This + believing their own Fud lore about how their buckmarks and 10/22s are government crushing superweapons. I was a Walmart manager during the "crisis" and can tell you 95% of our sales were to LGS owners who were turning around and selling them for +300% markup. We tried implementing a 3 box per customer rule to try and discourage them from it but they'd just round up all the "that guys" they had just lurking around and line them up at our counter every morning. They'd even had the gall tell their customers not to buy Walmart ammo because it's been mishandled. Those were funny times.
>>42109447Why are LGS boomers so fucking terrible?
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/military-studies-hyperfit-women-pass-grueling-courses-64468993This reads like fucking satire. Your tax dollars at work.

It still enrages me to no end that the media (and Army) misleads the public in to thinking these women passed RASP rather than a slightly tedious leadership school."I'm a Ranger!" says the 2LT who'll fuck every officer up to Battalion level within a year.
>101th Airborne Division>there aren't actually 101 Airborne Divisions

>>42108190Are you autistic? Gimme $9,999. By your words, that is not a lot of money to you, you can afford to lose it.
>>42085314Also wondering this.
>>42102737Fuck, how long have you guys been holding these things? Is there lore I need to study before I get there?
>>42077474I want to go, but I'm in a wheel chair and so my Aunt has to drive me. Is she allowed to come?
>>42109222New friend you need to google SaigaMarine.
SHTF/prepping larping general. To start off, I've seen a lot of people in "loadout" and gear queer threads who may need a little advice on what are the basics for a prolonged emergency situation that becomes violent. So I'm gunna post some pointers.Then I've seen some people posting that genuinely do not believe that the S could HTF. And in past threads people have asked me to share some of the economic many factors that could lead to a collapse. And then people asked me to copy and paste it so I put it in a google doc.And then finally there have been many people who asked for and thanked me for a list of links to information, reading material, and PDFs that I have bookmarked, so I'll share those as well.
Stab vest + cut resistant clothing or ringmail for general protection?
>>42109220*general torso protection
>>42103562Illegal doesn't mean criminal.One is edict the other nature.Natural laws are there because men killed those who would not recognize them as laws.Thus tradition in law.Not everything one does must be sanctioned by others. Unless you are a slave.
>>42109201>All that debt can be paid off by the Treasury giving the Federal Reserve one platinum coin with the amount of the debt printed on it...no...no it can't.This is such a strange idea that I'm not even sure I understand you.So, creating more USD won't raise the debt if it's represented on a piece of metal rather than a paper rectangle?
>>42103562>Dumb frogposter hates freedom Why did I expect anything else
I’m thinking about getting a ar-15. Currently pondering the Springfield saint. What do you guys think?
>>42108086>I have zero mechanical skills
>>42108157>mfw i put together my last ar with a leather and a pair of channel locks

>>42108514>Smith and Wesson I haven't forgotten about you the boycott is still on bitch 1999 never forget.I find this sentence hilarious but I have no idea what it's referring to. What happened in 1999?
>>42108122Its implied that's a pinned and welded barrel
A cancer free thread welcoming small families eager to grow.
>>42106504The bersa is actually my wife's gun that she was given too as a kid so we keep it for sentimental reasons and what not. The AR grip? its terrible but sure is fucking comfortable and helps me alot with stability when doing 3Gun. I was considering a lever at some point although I do not hunt and cant justify owning a 30.30, perhaps I'll get a RI 1911. They're spot better and have a better barrel than colt and Springfields imo. I do have my G19 and my CZP09 as my EDC.
>>42105670SL8-6 w/ a carry handle optic on the top left, and the scoped rifle on the right is a PSG-1 clone.
>>42107403Grew up with shotties for birds, now getting into rifles for fun. Fantasizing about bagging a deer with 7.62x39 this season too.
Had everything out of the safe over the weekend. This is roughly 1 year since being a nogunz. Roast me

>>42102475Cant find demilled an 94sYou can find deactivated an 94s but if you live in the US you can't buy it as the reciver is intact But if you know where demilled ones are sold post link i could be dumb
>>42103708>ywn blast a home invader with a 20mm scattergatWhy even live
>>42109382Seems like a fun rifle to shoot but doesnt that particular mechanism cause concussions, iirc some anon posted how that thing fucks you up over time similar to shooting smaws etc.
>>42102988Until they have to clean the thing.
Best weapon evar.
>Töten sie
>>42109002
>>42109012That show was alright
>>42109002The way I see it, the only plausible tank pistol amounts to a sawed-off shotgun loaded with HESH rounds. Even then, it's a long process starting with destroying the optics, disabling the treads, damaging the engines, and eventually breaching the hatches and killing the crew. Even at point blank range using oversized AP ammo, piercing tank armor like that is implausible. During WW2 we found that full sized anti-tank rifles and crew served 37mm anti-tank guns were WOEFULLY inadequate for killing tanks. >>42109012Good times. The Manga is still going last time I checked. Roland took out a wheeling AFV with a flamethrower and grenades in the latest arc.
>>42109173You would have to use explosives. Preferably big ones.Even if OP's pic was real and not a silly shoop you could probably throw a rock with more force than that bullet would have with essentially zero barrel length. You'd have a big fireball and the bullet would fall out the end.
If you could have two guns (or weapons in general) fuck and create a new breed, what would they be?
>>42106881Davey Crockett nuclear recoiless rifleSw 500 magnum
>>42106881Mounted on a big roomba with 14" barrels and AI control
>>42106881Ruger 10/22 and a .22 Hornet rifle to have a decent looking semi auto rifle in that caliber. MP5 and a Model 500 to make a mini death machine carbine that fires the big boy round.
>>42106913Tracers exist you mutnnub

I've been looking at the 5.11 tactical rush24 for a while, and now it's on sale. Is it a good pack for the money? Are there better options? I want a pack to use for 1-2 day outings that i can keep in my car.
>>42109070>They are legit>>42109081>chinese shitAre you talking about the same backpack?
>>42109081>It's worth it to save up for something good.>Buy these cheaper alternatives from literally who companies instead of spending "too much" on brand name productsI'm getting mixed signals here anon...
>>42109300>from literally who companieshe hasn’t heard of grey ghost, mystery ranch, goruck, or even mothercucking jansport
>>42109300>jansport>literally whoMakes sense because your dumb ass probably didn't go to fucking school, jesus christ dude just buy your 5.11 shit so you can get a matching t shirt and show everyone how tactical you are, its clearly what you want
>>42109273The rush 24 is literally made in china.>>42109300Those companies are popular and reputable. You must have Tom Clancy level gear awareness scrub bitch>>42109380Yeah
