What are some notable examples of cargo culting in terms of militar? It can range from uniforms/gear to overall operations.
>>61569174>It just means that someone or a group attempts to replicate what they see without fully understanding how and why it worksit doesn't though, it's literally how that first anon said, the term has been used wrong so often that people gave it a new meaning
>>61569183If you want to argue about the semantics, then we will go with the original meanings, which is a bunch of SEA monkeys worshipping/creating cargos and replicating even the runways in hopes it will bring supplies.
>>61569183Slangs exist, retard. It often is loosely or closely related to the original meaning of the term. Cargo culting in this day and age is a slang for someone copying people without having a fundamental understanding. It literally does not mean worshiping cargos like those Malaysians did in the context here.
>>61565835Venezuelan refugee in Mexico screeching about how the Mexican government only gave her free food, room and board and isn't giving her endless gibs. Venezuelans truly are the worst Latin Americans. Greediest arrogant Spaniards mixed with the least developed tribal Indios mixed with the dumbest and most violent Afros.

I went to a Mike Glover course and didn’t learn his awesome wrist locks!
I have decided I need to start competing in service rifle to take my marksmanship fundamentals to the next level. Any anons have pointers for me?
>>61568039(more)Rifle:- I started with a box stock Colt Sporter II HBAR- got a Jewell trigger for a birthday present, difference was amazing- added a lead wedge in the buttstock to help stabilize the rifle- I didn't dick around with lead in the foreend.- skinny front sight post. Dead bang easy to install. Significant improvement for shooting across the course (500 or 600 yards)- sight black spray, skip that fucked up lamp black stuff, just get a Birchwood Casey can of sight black, use it for front sight.- get NM rear sight. The standard 0-2 AR15 rear sight is just too big- titanium firing pin for "muh lock time" is a scam. Regular GI firing pin is fine.
>>61568039>>61568049(final)Misc:- find a club with people you detest the least. High power shooters are an odd bunch.- be comfortable with who you are (new shooter) and what you are trying to do (get better) - dry fire. A lot. Work on your fundamentals. trigger control, breathing, sigh picture. Do this year round. You will see improvement.- pellet gun. Built a pellet trap out of carpet and a cardboard box and shot in my basement to work on trigger control and sight picture. Really helped.- ammo. This is a rabbit hole that you can crawl down and lose a lot of time to. Early I'd say just use factory ammo knowing you're giving up MOA. Later, think about finding a load that works with your rifle. I found a 77-gr load that my rifle really liked. But it took a lot of time to nail it down.- shoot with a buddy. We'd shoot together, partner up for marking targets, help with technique observations, and then go get breakfast after the match was over. Helps to pass the time.- you'll see people doing things at matches, ask them LATER, after the match, "hey, I saw you doing X, mind if I ask what that was for?" Most NM shooters are happy to share. Some aren't (fuck 'em)- keep your eye on the club For Sale board, you'll find guys unloading gear or looking to sell to fund their next obsession
>>61568039>>61568049>>61568065Thanks very much, anon
>>61565587My mbus sight post fills up a whole torso sized target at 100 yards so that's how accurate I am. Shrug
>>61568039Excellent advice. Thanks.
This is what peak handgun designs is
>>61562585Doesn't mean you buy dogshit
>>61567645How much money did Sig lose when they sold these guns for $180 a pop to the Army?
>>61562031Yeah it's ugly, plastic and unreliable But why the hell did we pick babyshit brown as the color? In what world does a camouflaged handgun offer any utility? I kinda get if for rifles but this is just nonsense
ever since that one shit fit from a couple days ago im now convinced that argfags are the ones that usually make the dogshit threads you see at night. It's not shocking since they're literally the brand fags/posers of /k/.
>>61564338bragg, legeune, whateverI'm not a marine, just relaying one of the stories he told me involving the p320the other ones are about the optic plates flying backwards and hitting marines in face and parts inside the gun near the rear of the slide randomly breaking>>61564219all i was told was that the guy was expecting a dead trigger but put a bullet through his hand insteadand everyone was forced to get a refresher
Are lever actions more popular than ever?
>>61558746> Sometime in between 2008 and 2022 they got really popular with the peak in 2021. Nowadays with ruger and sw charging batshit insane prices the hype is dyingI can’t imagine they are selling better than peak cowboy action days.
>>61565108Plus ammo is absurd for 45-70. I rarely sit mine for this fact alone. Hurts
>>61568319Even my plinkers cost around 50cpr. Not cheap to feed.
>>61556692Probably IL tilting the market a little bit since we can't get ARs now a lot of people are buying level actions here. Some companies see an opportunity to push it to other ban states and non ban alike
>>61567631>Have you ever tried a Model 27 or Ruger Redhawk?No, but I had something similar, a Taurus 608. Pretty large and beefy revolver with a ported and an 8-shot cylinder. Was actually comfortable to shoot .357 Magnum out of, even hot stuff like Underwood.I got rid of it and put the money towards the S&W 586, thinking I'd be replacing it with a more quality gun. Instead, the 586 turned out to be a big disappointment. The Taurus was, ironically perhaps, the better shooter for me. People often spoke online like the L-Frame 586/686 was the perfect .357 revolver. If it is, it's not for me. Lesson learned.

Oh no. Oh well guess we will just have to stick to on topic posting.
>>61558093It’s stabilized dual feeding chain gun is really good
>>61558093the US military has a surprisingly decent track record when it comes to hardware longevity. M1911, Browning M2, Huey, Cobra, B-52, F-16, F-15, M113, Chadley, Abrams. And even if you account for stuff of US origin remaining in use with other countries; Shermans, Pattons, Mustangs, the US just had a knack for making shit that kept on working
>>61558093>so bradley will just remain in service forever?Why not? Baring some revolutionary development in material technology, (pro tip: ain't gunna happen) any new vehicle would have the same capabilities but cost far more due to Wall Street Military-Industrial Complex shenanigans.
Will we start seeing more countries use suicide drones derived from turboprop aircraft?It seems like it would be quite effective since it's difficult to tell if it's a drone or just a civilian piloting it.

Alright lads, I installed a hi-vis front sight to my mk iv and its come a bit loose everytime I shoot it. Apart from loctite what are my options? Plumber's tape?
Hello everyone. I'm about to move out on my own for the first time. I've been avoiding buying a safe so I don't have to deal with moving it, but now that I'll be in my own place I really need one. Any recommendations on manufacturers? I've heard about some manufacturers handing your safe code over to the feds if they ask nicely.
>>61561315>desu I like 1911s but not a fan of the capacity and I'm not rich enough for a 2011.Problem with capacity being that a double-stack 1911 mag is almost an inch thick, which makes handling the gun very awkward. A 10-round staggered stack is about as big as you can get comfortably. That's gonna be a consistent problem with any .45 you buy.You can get decent 8-rounders from a lot of manufacturers, they have better springs and followers than the old GI pattern. IME you have to download 1911GI mags to six after a while as the spring fatigues. On the other hand my mad little South Korean 15-round gigglesticks for the 1911 have been quite reliable, even in the carbine. They're just a foot long. If you wanna cheap out, then a Pinoy 1911 is usually good quality. I've had a Llama Firestar for about 20 years and never had a failure that wasn't clearly the mag's fault. A few parts aren't compatible with "real" 1911s, notably the grip, but it's cheap and it works.>>61562424>They're nice to carry, miserable to shoot.>How so?>Why shoot rarelyManaging an Airlight's recoil with a defensive load of .357 is like wrestling a python that just swallowed a wasp. Even .38+P is extremely unpleasant without very good form and custom grips. The frame is also a little weaker than a steel gun, so it just can't take a lot of hot loads, even if you wanted to hurt yourself like that. My mom stopped carrying hers even though she loved it because she couldn't consistently keep her third shot in the kill zone. I begged off on buying it from her because I'd literally rather carry a compact .45.On the other hand if you like revolvers it's very light and it'll take some abuse.
>>61568961>Managing an Airlight's recoil with a defensive load of .357the revolvers in question are 38 SPL

>>61569130>Chinese peopleDo you card them? Like 99% are non-resident tourists with no hunting license, so they can't buy anything anyways.
>>61569160That’s the thing, they’re almost never there to buy guns. They’re there to rent guns at the range and then they filter into the store and act like typical Chinese tourists. I don’t hate them, but they have no understanding of our cultural norms. But yeah, I’ve had to explain the hunting license thing to people who barely spoke English before and it was always a massive pain in the ass. Fuck them, become a citizen before you buy a gun.
>>61569130>customers I hate the most are probably Chinese people.I laughed so hard, I was expecting an answer like, "the people who are obviously attempting a straw purchase" or "That guy who wants to get his gf one of the pink guns that keep being returned.

I have a unused AR laying around that I would like to convert to a Coyote gun and then gift to a dear friend, what would be some modest suggestions for such a project?
>>61569098>if only I can get those fucking geeseThese are protected, no? Is there an exemption for shooting them if the purpose is airport safety?
>>61569151>Is there an exemption for shooting them if the purpose is airport safety?Yes. At an airport, if you have the proper permits, you can trap or shoot essentially anything that’s not A) an endangered species, B) an Eagle, or C) someone’s pet. But for the most part, it’s going to be large birds, deer and coyotes in roughly that order that you’re worried about.
>>61569151He's larping, most airports use dogs, pyrotechnics or propane canons to deter wildlife. No one is running around airports shooting coyotes and birds for fucks sake.
>>61569213Dogs are pretty uncommon, except maybe at the big, big airports. Pyro and propane cannons don’t work all that well when you need a permanent solution.
>>61569212Interesting. What's the permit called, specifically?
