Personally the carbine. Fun lil plinker

#

Only if it isnt a post 60 something inland

#

Old carbines or bust

stark coral
#

1903 and the 1917 are much better guns than the M1 carbine

snow scarab
stark coral
#

Sure, 1903 Springfield shoots 30-03 or 30-06 depending on production model. Used as a service rifle, usually cheap to get. It’s pretty accurate to 400-500yds. If you are getting it for larp purposes maybe a specific model, most are the early-late 1940s “remakes” with mismatching serial numbers. 1917 (also a service rifle) was only made in 1917-1918, basically, it’s an American copy of the P14 rifle to shoot 30-06 it’s a decent grouping up to 200yds.

#

The M1917 Enfield is also cheaper so I do recommend it.

#

Fun gun to mess around with and hunt, just don't spend the money on sporterized versions.

It’s Larp whenever there’s role play. There’s frequently role play in training scenarios. All of airshit is Larp. The only time it’s not Larp is when no one is pretending.

And we are graded as a brigade/division

#

On our performance

snow scarab
#

when did any of us say that 💀 we just called you on saying military isn’t larping when the military guys told you we indeed are

coarse laurel

I went to CIF the other day and I had to wait a couple of hours because the basic trainees were coming in

snow scarab

F

plush topaz
#

Are rangers trained from The outset of basic or can fully trained soldiers apply to be rangers

coarse laurel
#

They are actually giving them OCP IOTV’s now

snow scarab
coarse laurel
#

So basically there’s RASP which is to join the 75th ranger regiment, you can literally have it in your enlistment contract to do the follow on selection and training

snow scarab
#

FLW is still givin out gen 2s. i’ve seen the inside of that warehouse lol

snow scarab

#

Ranger school is a leadership and skill school which has a high attrition rate, graduating makes you Ranger qualified

snow scarab
#

in order to go to rasp you do ranger school first and then rasp right?

coarse laurel
#

Yup at some point rangers from the 75th will have to go to our school

snow scarab
#

rasp included airborne and air assault right?

coarse laurel
#

Or they will be kicked out

plush topaz
#

So it's a certification? Not a unit? What about the army rangers

snow scarab
plush topaz
#

Like the guys who fought in gothic serpent

#

Oh

coarse laurel
snow scarab
#

ranger school makes you “ranger qualified” while RASP is how you actually get into 75th

#

anybody can go to ranger school

coarse laurel
#

A lot of us here who work In ranger school are from the ranger batt

snow scarab
#

but it doesn’t make you a ranger

plush topaz
#

Gotcha

snow scarab
plush topaz

Thx for clarifying

coarse laurel

The only similarities is the unit origins and our tan berets

coarse laurel
snow scarab

they just recently allowed 12Bs to join regiment

iirc

Wanna know what’s funny @snow scarab

snow scarab

absolutely

plush topaz
#

What other notable modern deployments have the 75th rangers had?

coarse laurel

Facebook marketplace near Benning has listings for AVS’s

they are the premier direct action force we have

#

True. Sorry for all the questions.

snow scarab
#

nah you good

#

rangers are also tier two forces along with SEALs minus ST6

#

but have very different mission sets

coarse laurel
#

Most ranger deployments are hush hush just because they are under SOCOM

#

I did hear stuff about Africa though

#

Quite abit

plush topaz
snow scarab
#

yup

#

big misconception is they are tier 1 with SF, but that’s only ST6

plush topaz
#

Who's tier 1?

coarse laurel
#

Tier 1 is DEVGRU which is seal team 6

plush topaz
#

And army delta?

coarse laurel
#

Or Delta aka CAG

#

Yeah

snow scarab
#

tier 1 is SF, devgru, and technically delta but delta is kinda above everyone

coarse laurel
#

And I forgot what the Air Force has for tier 1

#

Oh right

snow scarab
#

PJs are 2, TACPs are 2

coarse laurel
#

24th STS

#

Is tier 1

plush topaz
#

Idf air force tier one is called Shaldag. Pretty badass unit. I did basic with them

snow scarab
#

what is t1 marine side?

plush topaz
#

Force recon? sshhdoge

snow scarab
#

or wait no. raiders are 2

#

unless i’m getting confused

coarse laurel
#

So rangers actually have a tier 1 unit which is their recon company

#

They are the cream of the crop in the regiment

snow scarab
#

oh, interesting

plush topaz
#

Marine force recon is very similar to what I did in Israel.

Minus anything related to the water

snow scarab

which btw if you haven’t already guessed the average joe is tier 3

do the rail grabbers on the rings actually engage with the weaver rail on the air rifle?

There is a price difference for a reason

#

When I was very new and I bought my first rifle I was stupid and bought a holosun red dot off amazon. Had no clue what I was doing. Ended up selling it at a loss and bought an eotech. The difference in function and quality was miles apart. I had to make that stupid first decision to understand

#

Cheaper optics arent just worse than more expensive ones in terms of performance, the manufacturers cut corners when producing the optic that will end up screwing you in the long run

carmine shale
#

it has served me well

#

i cant afford a acog

#

plus there over priced ath

#

the new eotech pistol dot looks good

snow scarab
#

i’ve heard the eotech has issues with impacts

pastel cipher
#

over priced and over hyped, turns out optics have actually progressed somewhat over the last 40 years.

#

they aren't bad by any stretch but you can get similar performance out of something much cheaper with better overall performance. there will come a time when some gun tuber will point it out, just like when lpvos were pointed out as not being perfect, and a ton of people will flip on the acog and say its trash because its not perfect.

ACOG is a fucking beast of an optic tho. much more durable than almost shit

wouldn't know i don't own a PA 3x prism.

i’ve seen one break and it’s cause someone left it by the detcord and it got caught in the middle of the ball 💀

#

oh no he got fucked up for it lmfao. only person missing an optic and we found a burnt fucking shell in the demo pit

this is me quoting him “well the shits making the rifle too heavy, i didn’t wanna carry it”

he also set his peq down

# muted gate carbines are a sunk cost

the statistic doesnt exist, but the army already has thousands of m4s and m16s in arsenal that are just laying about. Why arm rearline personnel with a new SMG that is different logistically than the mainline rifle.

#

It used to be a thing that it was mainline, SMG, or Pistol back in ww2. This is the main reason for the m1 carbine

#

M1 carbine got supplanted by the m16 and m3 for rearline and vic crewmen

#

then those got supplanted by the m4 for crewmen

whos official replacement date was when tankers reclassed from m60s-m1s

I'm a cybersecurity analyst. this is a gamble. employers may want you to have experience to supplement the certs, or at least a bachelor's if you have no experience

#

a cert does not guarantee a job

#

I got my first cert (SANS GCIH) only after I had worked for at least a year

#

I highly recommend doing John Strand's Black Hills InfoSec courses if you are just starting out. he has a pay what you can program that costs a minimum of only like $25 per course

they don't prepare you for a cert but they will give you a good foundation to start from

but if it runs every game well it doesnt matter

Why do you expect to need to swap filters

i don't, but i have some extra space on my new kit that would fit them, and better to have spares and not need them than to need them and not have them, since if i need them i will literally die.

If you are in an environment that means you need to mask up, you arent swapping filters

and if my present filter gets fucked? ill take the smaller dose of whatevers in the air and swap, maybe die, rather than take a full dose and die for sure.

Need to swap filter

#

Grab sealed filter

#

need to open said filter

contaminate sealed filter after opening by touching it, exposing it to the air, etc

screw in filter

#

part that is supposed to be clean, that being the side that faces towards the mask is now contaminated

#

the mask interior is now contaminated

i am now exposed to thing

filter is compromised due to whatever,

#

don't swap filter

exposed to thing.

either way

so again, its not worth the weight on your rig

put it in a bag if you really want one

not putting it on my rig, putting it on my GM pouch to have a spare with it, incase i lose or don't have access to my pack but still have my mask, probably only putting the one there honestly

grrr discord, as i said before silly word filter, and if after getting away i had to leave my pack?
