Where does this weird USMC fetish come from? Why do people act like it's something to be especially proud of? Why are shirts and bumper stickers like this a thing? Why are there screencaps of dorky guys telling their ex girlfriends that they totally owned them because they're Marines now? I mean it doesn't seem particularly hard to become a marine, what's up with this shit?
>>47450269>>47450523>5:1>look it up
I knew a retired marine who would be 53 now when I lived in North Dakota 10 years back. I dont know all Marines, maybe he was rare, but I do know as a neighbor, couldn't be beat. Was the most paranoid man I ever met, had a Cesna and a pilot licenses, and made his own napalm in 50 gallon drums. The man had a kings ransom is machine guns buried around his property. I never felt safer for my family when I went to work knowing he was a neighbor. Hes the only reason I even wanted to stay there, but we eventually moved out of state. The man had a shotgun welded to the bottom of a uzi as a grip. RIP Marvin, you were a real motherfucker. Kept our home heated with firewood, deer meat and was the best baby sitter you could ask for, he was the kind of man who would kill 12 men to keep a child safe. Made his own moonshine and just wanted to be left alone. Put a rifle in his mouth, rest easy.
>>47450588That's ALL kia, including Navy and Air who suffered much heavier losses due to being in an actual fight you 60 IQ cuck. Ground force losses were less than1,600 KIA, and that only looks at the three battles in the Slot, even Navy losses and contribution were actually even higher when all naval engagements are included. Pic related is from the Official USMC history as shown at bottom.Consider yourself permanently BTFO and cope harder
>>47450588How fucking priceless is it that marine retardation drives you to post something that exactly confirms my point, absolute pottery

>>47450564This is proof positive Hitler was right
>>47450959No. Not necessarily. I just cant understand why people aren't a "one and done" with firearms
>>47450978>I just cant understand why people aren't a "one and done" with firearmsYou mean why do people buy multiple guns? Lots of reasons. People may have an interest in the mechanical operation/engineering of specific guns, or they might enjoy a variety of shooting disciplines or events that require a variety of guns. You're probably not going to hunt Turkey with the same type of shotgun you'd take to a 3gun match, for example.
>>47450978Fuck, because I like guns that's it. I like:- that they look cool- to go target shooting- to go hunting- the history around them- most of the firearms community- how they help me defend myself and my familyDo you need any more reasons?
>>47451098>>47450978No worries. It doesn't bother me I was just curious
What would you recommend as some necessary AR customizations for a first timer are? Let's say I spend 900 bucks on a prebuilt, bare AR15 of mid-tier quality. What are some things you find a necessity as far as attachments go, but still modest enough for a first timer who may not want to fully customize his first bought, pre built AR? Flashlights? Foregrips? Suppressors? Sights?
OP, disregard any advice that departs from this initial order: 1. Sling2. Light3. OpticStay away from Amazon/eBay, stick to reputable manufacturers. Slings can be had from an number of companies, streamlight makes good lights that don't break the bank (Olight will work if you're on a tighter budget but streamlight is much better) and when it comes to optics, for a beginner something like a holosun red dot or even a vortex Sparc AR will serve you well without costing you too much.

>>47449580The Fappening is when the site got a massive boost in traffic and the regulars started evacuating.
>>47436678Left due to all the /pol/faggot larpers and election tourists.
>>47450956Who cares? The point of /pol/ was to be a containment board and it completely failed that goal in 2015 and just became a breeding ground. If it was deleted those that didn't immediately move to another platform would in the short term shit up other boards till they got tired of it and moved onto another echo chamber like Parler. The lack of /pol/ pipeline into the site would be a positive overall.
So Iran is more or less safe from an invasion because nobody would be dumb enough to try and occupy a country that basically only consists of mountains, but are they actually capable of actively doing anything? Beyond sending advisors and propping up shia militias in other countries. Is the Iranian army a paper tiger?
>>47444726Literally the only reason we would get involved is because they pose a strategic threat to Israel, and the Jews that pull the strings in our country would much rather have Americans die than their own kin. It’s absolute horseshit and I’m getting really tired of this charade.

Why Japanese swords are superior to European one?
Not sure this is the right place to ask, but I don't want to make a new thread.So my friend and are I considering joining a local HEMA club to learn longsword fighting which I think is dope and all, but god forbid we actually do anything with this knowledge or skills such as larping or even joining knight fights. I'd much rather learn in my personal time how to use the bardiche. I've done some of my own searching but I've yet to find anything relating to manuals or forms concerning the bardiche. So I was curious if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction on where to research more concerning the weapons. Cause on one hand I would think you simply use it like any other 2 handed axe, but the idea of it having that space behind the axe head makes me think you could use it other ways. But I have no idea which is why I would like to learn more

>>47439605People keep saying anime is popular but its still weird to put it on your gun or car.
>>47450591maybe because some anime fans don't need to fucking breathe itI have anime mags but I don't put anime stickers in my car because well, it's not really something I want to do
>>47443175I actually got a very accurate stainless psa barrel on the first poverty ar I built. I can't say anything for longevitiy as I sold it after a couple hundred rounds and went to a better rifle.
>>47439558The average person probably thinks>huh that guy has a cartoon of a little girl. He's either a pedo or has the mind of a child.
Is the Five-seveN a good gun? For a long time it's been at the top of my (handgun) list for what I want to get when I have the monies. Am I right to place it up top or is it a meme gun?
>>47450065I think it's only good for CS fans. Couple of hundred more gets you an FK BRNO PSD, which shoots much better ammo.
>>47450065>For a long time it's been at the top of my (handgun) list for what I want to get when I have the monies.You should buy it for that reason alone. Not everything is life needs to be practical or even useful. I've wanted a Luger and a USP my whole life, and now that I have both, every time I see them it's just like the first day I owned them. If that's what the Five-seveN is to you, it'll scratch an itch nothing else can.Are there logistical problems with it having a boutique chambering? Probably. Who gives a shit? You'll figure something out.
>>47451057True, true. You do bring a compelling argument. I think for that reason alone, I will in fact get one. Maybe a Christmas present for myself or something, or at the very least I'll be giving it much more serious consideration now.For me, the two things that matter most in guns (and actually in most things which I like to own) is reliability and longevity. If those two things are met, I'm pretty much sold. Seems to be a reliable gun, but will it last long? That's the second half of the million dollar question.
>>47450065It's great but it's an expensive handgun with expensive ammo. If those things don't bother you then go for it
>>47450065Doesn't have provision for an optic, making it dated.

>>47449118I love the A5 (and have a Model 8) but it's not better than modern semi autos. The long recoil isn't as smooth and it's no more reliable
>>47449349same desu, can't decide on a caliber tho. would go with 45-70 or something faster like 375 H&H.35 Rem would be cool too.
I picked up a Savage .223 with bull barrel, accutrigger and camo stock. I really, really wish we weren't in ammogeddon because I really liked it right out of the box
Also what color is best or does it not matter?I always wondered why optics only came in red or green
>>47449666Nice pic of the thing you don't have and have no experience with but are still recommending to random people on the internet.
>>47449846glow-on fucking sucks. i bought a tiny vial of it for 12 bucks to test it and it was a waste of money. put it on my beretta 92fs and you literally have to "charge" the paint before it'll glow, and then it'll only glow really bright for like 20 minutes. it's good paint if you plan on leaving your pistol on your desk under a light, and then take the pistol outside with you for a quick smoke or something. if you're looking for sights that will glow bright at any time you need them without charging or pre-planning, just get tritium

>>47448338War declaration was intended to coincide with the beginning of the attack, but delays decoding the message at the consulate and actually getting access to Roosevelt to tell him meant it came far too late.
