1903 and the 1917 are much better guns than the M1 carbine
bolt action vs 30 rounds semi auto? i’m taking 30 rounds semi
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.
Sure why not take a bolt action over the M1 Carbine, depending on purpose it’s got it’s ups and downs.
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.
Aws tho
@stark coral the belt is still kinda wack
which belt ?
Gbrs
There is only like one tegris belt that’s like worth it and it’s the axl ngl
Cause it’s cheap
@stark coral you LEO?
ohh i am not the gamer with the belts my friend
sadly no 🙂
true
That's your garage or living room? Why is it so empty
Converting room
where does one find quality half masks
Buff
@snow scarab lol i got to larp with a bunch of ranger instructors today
where does one get quality gear but not too expensive im only 16 dont have a high paying job so my budget on stuff isnt alot where can i find stuff that is cheap but looks cool
EBay
it’s a larp when military do it too lol
lol nice
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.
Interesting
I got a g36 so it only seems right to go all out with the German
meta
Is this bundeswehr issue
That's a really cool Blade
I know they make some stuff for German army and police
I’m just an American with an HK fetish 

Nothing gets me going like blowing 4k on a 30 year old weapon system
You just get a Tommy too?
Yep, only real way to get them
Amazing. Gtb the mod here just got one too
I was cleaning it yesterday
Nothing like spending 4k on your first gun, this is larp and I’m homeless
That's ok. My first gun was a Tavor. 3k
Why wait. Get your dream gun off the bat lol
The only thing I like that comes out of Israel is the Negev

Very sexy
Ever use one?
So I don’t have to get a second one
Nope sadly
They're pretty awesome. But as an FN Mag gunner, it felt like a water pistol.
In nine months I’ll be 21 and then I’m ready to go spend another thousand dollars on a pistol anyways
Yes
You going for a German loadout?
Yep
My grandpa worked in the White House and he used an MP5 so I’ve been raised to love HK
Cool. Secret service?
Indeed
Wow
I got his old vest in storage
Tough job. I've worked with many SS
Yeah I can’t wait for next week so that I can buy $1500 bathroom tiles to put in my vest

atleast your camo is easy to get
I should’ve picked a cheaper hobby
Look at the bright side. You could be into boats. Or golf.
Well my father likes golf, he also thinks I’m going to be some terrorist. What can you do 
he should see some of the 3d printing gat community 
I’ve showed him lol
Ha
wtf
again, fuck golf guys

all you'll have soon enough 
@muted gate watch this drive
i srsly hate golf man
not when it’s training lol. which is what he is talking about and what 95% of the military does
I'm gonna spam You with golf videos
god look at red october
when guys do training in the military, it’s technically LARP
its legit half mil guys larping as yugos commiting warcrimes
not really. all still live action role play
imagine being so angry at dudes having a lark
@coarse laurel would you consider the field to be LARPing?
or, i do actual military training lmfaooo
notionally 5 of your joes are dead. Have fun
Im not sure you noticed, but nobody air softs her e
the guy who works with rangers called it larping 😂
airsoft is honestly a better training tool than blanks and shit
tell me the difference between a larp and a stx lane
Who said that?
💀 you say to two or three guys in/formerly in the military
Lol half of the the shit we do is larping. You think going to JRTC and NTC ain’t fuckin larping?
apparently it’s real combat
If you don’t know what I’m talking about shut the hell up
STX lanes are literally just organized larps
For real
✋Excuse me sir. I probably do, I just don't know these American abbreviations.
no but you are pretending to be in combat
Help me out
What do you think Geronimo does in JRTC? Fucking larping as a atropians and donovians
and as my man said, if you don’t know what JRTC or NTC is, please stfu
Situational Training Exercise
STX
@plush topaz JRTC is Ft Polk and NTC is Ft Irwin, it’s out training bases
literally all you did in ROTC
Where we certify for deployment
who the fuck are you arguing with
We go into the “box” where it’s a simulated country where we larp for a month against realistic opfor
And we are graded as a brigade/division
On our performance
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
It certified whether a unit is good to go overseas
Why are you shifting the goal posts
you just pointing fingers since you lost the argument now?
im stealing cannoli
probably mobilizing with our armored battalion next year 😫
Fuckin scrub is a loser, just ignore him since he hasn’t done anything worthwhile with his life.
it’s that or southwest border and fuck that. more money but it’s miserable
arent you natty guard shovl
yeah? and?
No stories to tell his grandkids, no stories nor entertain his friends either
just checking
still deploying no matter what in my contract
cause active duty short staffed lol
still doing my funny paperwork, they dont like some of my credits so yeahhh
im currently fixing that
more than you’ll probably do 🤷♂️
how do you like being a natty 12 series @snow scarab we talked a while back bout it
Lol just ignore this loser he’s either trolling or just coping that he can’t do half that shit we do
Scrub
Btw your pfp makes you look like a certified pedophile
i love it. i’m having to switch which sucks but it’s fun
lemmie guess, to get promoted
@spring oar
no, unit is closing
three course meals of doing a job that actually makes women wet unlike your fuckin 9-5
who said barracks bunny?
@low fox this is a silly argument. Do you have any guns or gear
just remember, i have you on picture saying that kids are hot as hell. just remember
By that he means he’s gonna go back being a degenerate piece of shit kiddie diddler
Disgusting
i would ping awacs but i seem to be unable
What in the hell is going on?
@snow scarab modmail is the most appropriate reporting method
i’m pinging an admin who is actually friendly and a good dude
GTB is a busy man, doubt he’s gonna see the ping
true
So uh moving away from this confusing conversation what’s peoples opinion on Warrior assault system
shit
wait
which warrior system
i’m sorry, but pedos are a challenge best solved by a bullet. in minecraft of course

DCS
okay i was thinking of the UK IOTV monstrosity
Oh no I got a WAS DCS and wanted to see what others think of it
Lol good luck.
no experience
Lol. Is that a tape carrier
Micro tape rig

Oop
It looks like you used bandaids lol
@snow scarab I have a feeling half the people in this ranger school cycle will tap out on week 1-2
It’s too fuckin cold to be roaming the swamp at this time of year
lol
Especially with the random weather

a lot of cold tho? that’ll kill you
Lol as long as no one dies of hypothermia I’m good, last time that happened was ‘96 in swamp phase
Literally 5 died
oh wtf
just make sure they change their socks lol
do you get to yell at people too?
Sometimes
lucky
I went to CIF the other day and I had to wait a couple of hours because the basic trainees were coming in
F
Are rangers trained from The outset of basic or can fully trained soldiers apply to be rangers
They are actually giving them OCP IOTV’s now
any female in a combat MOS gets issued the female gen 3 IOTV at basic now
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
FLW is still givin out gen 2s. i’ve seen the inside of that warehouse lol
there’s a pipeline to get there tho
Ranger school is a leadership and skill school which has a high attrition rate, graduating makes you Ranger qualified
in order to go to rasp you do ranger school first and then rasp right?
Yup at some point rangers from the 75th will have to go to our school
rasp included airborne and air assault right?
Or they will be kicked out
So it's a certification? Not a unit? What about the army rangers
so ranger school and RASP are different.
Yeah that’s the 75th
ranger school makes you “ranger qualified” while RASP is how you actually get into 75th
anybody can go to ranger school
A lot of us here who work In ranger school are from the ranger batt
but it doesn’t make you a ranger
Gotcha
run into any engineers yet?
Thx for clarifying
The only similarities is the unit origins and our tan berets
Some
Wanna know what’s funny @snow scarab
absolutely
What other notable modern deployments have the 75th rangers had?
Facebook marketplace near Benning has listings for AVS’s
Because some ranger dudes who get out just sell it
pretty much every single combat zone the united states has been in
they are the premier direct action force we have
There was a big loss in Afghanistan right? Chopper crash?
oooo might look there lol
uhhhh idk. haven’t read much about them recently
True. Sorry for all the questions.
nah you good
rangers are also tier two forces along with SEALs minus ST6
but have very different mission sets
Most ranger deployments are hush hush just because they are under SOCOM
I did hear stuff about Africa though
Quite abit
Seals are tier 2?
Who's tier 1?
Tier 1 is DEVGRU which is seal team 6
And army delta?
tier 1 is SF, devgru, and technically delta but delta is kinda above everyone
PJs are 2, TACPs are 2
Idf air force tier one is called Shaldag. Pretty badass unit. I did basic with them
MRF is 2 aren’t they?
what is t1 marine side?
Force recon? 
that’s MRF yeah
or wait no. raiders are 2
unless i’m getting confused
So rangers actually have a tier 1 unit which is their recon company
They are the cream of the crop in the regiment
oh, interesting
Marine force recon is very similar to what I did in Israel.
Minus anything related to the water
which btw if you haven’t already guessed the average joe is tier 3
So reconnaissance mission set
Yes forward recon and surveillance
I was a 19D Cav scout so I know that feels
RSTA and just hiding and watching from an observation post

ah, i’m sorry. i might have to experience being shoved into a bradley lol
Lmao
Interesting. Yes very similar
i’m 6’3 man, i can’t fit 😭
Hey it’s either that or hiking up a mountain on foot
i’d rather than then bent over
Our units nickname are the pussies
Since we roll around in open humvees
Everyone else on foot muahahaha
lol
Terrain permitting of course
kek
Until we spot enemy ATGM teams or fortified positions and boobie traps
Then they love us
United States Army Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course (RSLC) (formerly known as the Long Range Surveillance Leaders Course, or LRSLC) is a 29-day (four weeks and one day) school designed on mastering reconnaissance fundamentals of officers and non-commissioned officers eligible for assignments to those units whose primary mission is ...
@snow scarab this is another school we have in ranger school
Our company is heavy weapons support. We can basically act alone with our Spike ATGM platoon and mortar platoon.
It’s not ranger school but it’s our unit who runs this course
wtf
Including the ones in the humvees
We'd bring extra tripods to dismount
jesus fuck 😂
I hated the MK19’s just because the part of the feed tray is so sensitive
If you scuff the chromed part it will fail
Also fuckin heavy as shit as it is
i would like to fire one, hate to be in charge of one lol
You can jam it with a ballpoint pen
Idf infantry carry a company level m2
....... On foot
Hey. I carried a stretcher and nothing else
The Philippine army did that in the Marawi siege lol
So me too lol
They humped M2’s from building to building
I was batallion navigator and designated marksman. I had to be nimble.
oh yo apparently we have one of those HMG thermal sights for my squad lol
During that 7 month battle
I was the ultimate pussy
The siege of Marawi (Filipino: Pagkubkob sa Marawi), also known as the Marawi crisis (Krisis sa Marawi), and the Battle of Marawi (Labanan sa Marawi), was a five-month-long armed conflict in Marawi, Philippines, that started on May 23, 2017, between Philippine government security forces and militants affiliated with the Islamic State (IS), inclu...
7 month just because the first 2 months are just raids that turned into a siege
@coarse laurel got some new boots earlier this week
left is new, right i s old
join the c320 gang. you need jumpable boots anyways
@snow scarab lol I think he got banned
oh yeah i put it through mod mail
lol
my exact reason was “pedophile type behavior. shall i say more?
Thank you for your service
those are amazing boots
I have 20 agencies emailing me now
the academy*
Well, yes/no
Imagine not being already certed
Imagine, being in FL
HEY NO FAIR
FL is the best state\
anyone who thinks that doesn't travel
Or has been anywhere else
i have two words for you: ron desantis
good pair of boots but they fall apart rather quickly
"BUT RON IS GOOD MAN"
not really
from my experience
these have lasted me a year very well. been through the shit
bro you literally do military shit one weekend a month
LMAOOO
and?
Tbf I’ve been around the world as a military child and it’s better than middle of nowhere GA so I’ll take it
i use them outside of thay
cant stand nasty girls
like all the fucking time
Id rather be in butfuck georgia
you'd be closer to me
mad we deploy more?
Literally coping
not really if it’s the truth
"Kinda"
the natty guard guys that replaced my unit were total corn balls
and can make more money from the same length deployment
this is true
all over weight and had all the gucci gear looking like airsofters
HAHAH
damn well good thing that’s not me or any of my joes lol
we have one dude who is overweight on my platoon and he’s on year 20 with 5 combat deployments and a CIB
Sheeesh he got max prestige
mans is a beast still
a fellow femboy enjoyer
sounds about right
lifted an entire bailey bridge part like it was nothing
all my other joes are fit af. platoon averages 540
but the real question is do you have your sapper tab?
no but going active once my contract ends and going for a ranger contract so hopefully
you keep saying joes are you an nco?
if so revamp your discord bro its corny. dont make the army your personality
no but a TL
and i’ve just always called the average guy joes
although i do agree my bio is cringe lmao
you gotta break that natty guard stereotype before you ad and get shit on
Who cares. It's discord not linkedin
Cringer the better

best place to buy riot gear?
Real riot gear is immensely expensive
who are you with
rather unit/post
1AD 1st bde is another i can think of that just came back
They weren't in syria can tell you that atleast
it was a big deal because it was the last armored brigade combat team to go to korea
its all SBCT's and IBCT's now
Korea is not a deployment.
def not
Ye they were just replaced here recently
Got muh placard
i’m hoping i get sent over to syria or iraq. sitting in kuwait doesn’t sound fun
Ain't going to be doing anything in either tbh
im glad im in tradoc lol, all i do is TDY to florida
neither does the border
Repeat that again, but slowly
yeah but it’s more likely
if i was in a basic training unit then yeah fuck that
What in the sinful shit about saying you're glad you're in a tradoc unit
I'd dec tradoc orders in a heartbeat rn
ranger school cadre is not a bad gig, i get access to majority of the schools in MCOE
the only negatives i can think of about this place is the weird schedules because we alternate between ranger school, RSLC and best ranger
but it gives me enough free time to pursue schools, also civilian education
also having a big budget in terms of equipment and civillian contractor support doesnt hurt either
one hell of a magwell
What are we looking at?
BSA air rifle scope
What broke
Looks like something as glued onto the cheapo weaver rails and that snapped off
My fault bruh my little brother got this for Christmas and it was from our uncle
Do you have a better picture?
Yea hold on n
like what actually broke off?
Towards the front part of the scope that you look through
Red part is where the scope should be
Kinda
I honestly don't know if the ring needs that
it looks like either a weaver adapter of some sort or some extra bit of weaver rail grabber
looks like a Jury rigged weaver to pic mount
do the rail grabbers on the rings actually engage with the weaver rail on the air rifle?
on a gun with neither
The thing that's bothering me the most is how offset the ring cap is
back out the screws and even it out
it looks 90° sideways
It is upright also I was untightening all of it so it’s fixed but yea it was glued on, we asked the previous owner
its brazed, not glued
think silver solder
What have you Don
I was just annotating that guy's jank ass picture
To show him why his scope mount needed to be fixed
I use Warne rings for individual rings or Badger COMM for a cantilever mount
Plus rifle currently doesn't have any rings on it
Your right but Syria is
Nice try tho have fun in Kuwait
It was cav scouts in that video from 3rd bct
You make me want fuggin
To paint my gun
dewit
@misty mango you are the bad demon that whispers sweet nothings into my ear
it will look good
im the devil on your shoulder 
Jawoi
you say to the man in syria doin more special stuff than you lol
What you said made no sense?
I just left Syria bozo
and he is currently IN syria as well. doin more than you did
he can tell if he wants
Yes because you know what I did while I was there
well imma guess you’re just a line guy like most of us
Last time I checked our partner force isn’t letting us do anything at the moment
So he isn’t doing shit
mhm
Stop the meat riding
i just want you to look at what i said, and do the math to figure out how he is doin more
you seem like a semi smart guy
Meat riding?
do the math and use common sense 🤷♂️
there’s a certain group of people that always will have looser rules than the rest of us and are constantly rotating in and out of syria every other year or so
@low fox what’s your mos?
11b
yes
Cool cool, I might see you then if you end up going for it. I work down in Benning atm as cadre for ranger school
It’s not a bad gig,and yeah EIB will def set you apart
i wish they didn’t take away UMBC
I can dm it
sure
You talk a lot of shit for somebody who pulled acp guard for 6 months
8 and we mainly patrolled but ok bud
i was never at atg
As 11b, well I mean it narrows it down secfor
whats secfor?
you sure are an expert for being in country not even a month yet.
he’s been there for much longer 😂
I'm Gonna visit @storm peak next time I go 
oh the dick rider is back

Habibi I've been here for a couple months now, I wanna go home
Miss beer and the mrs
But I mean the irony of it is that @low fox pulled gate guard for a deployment

yer got paperwork for that there firearm?
Wdym?
taking the piss out of fudds and feds
No I don’t have paperwork
because SBR
It’s not an sbr
fudds seem to think it has paperwork
It’s a pistol
We were teaching my buddy how to shoot both eyes open
You tape up the front of the optic
i remember doing one of them simulators with the compressed air guns noone knew how to shoot with both eyes open so they fucked up on the moving targets run
there was like 2-3 targets to flick between at different ranges at any time
It's larpin time
Mighty morbius
anyone know the name of this specific colored jacket or a link to a site to where i can purchase, jacket used in the raid series
Its a aog but better
Today we're looking at the Primary Arms 3x prism scope.
And how it compares with other options on the market including the venerable acog

pfffffft no
it’s a micro prism optic. like an elcan pretty much but tiny
tell me how?
Its Primary Arms
first off it’s primary arms, it’s not as durable, not as good as an ACOG
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
it has served me well
i cant afford a acog
plus there over priced ath
the new eotech pistol dot looks good
i’ve heard the eotech has issues with impacts
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
ok, but the eyebox is way too tight. durability isn't everything..
it’s not really a problem with how tight if you use it enough
Also it doesn’t have a diopter
plus if you have it on like a 5.56 you aren’t worried about eye punch
you are missing the part of that where everyone agrees lol
its still an issue when i can buy a huge number of other optics that provide the same performance that cost less and have better eye boxes.
7.62x39 and 7.62x35 aren’t very good at being intermediate cartridges
without google, tell me what 7.62x35 is
300blk
what’s the original name tho
How does x39 lack the criteria
drops like a rock at 300, is still decently heavy when loaded up with a combat load, most rounds aren’t as consistent either.
300 acc black
@snow scarab whats your dad name
Ill tell you ligma
Limga my ball
Thats my option
my guy
And
wouldn't know i don't own a PA 3x prism.
but it might well be a better optic for cost, if its half as useful and costs a quarter of it then its a good deal.
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
lmfao. end of demo day, had to blow it all. just ended up in the middle of the ball somehow. dude was a fuckin idiot all the time
failed 4 piss tests
NG, shits way more lax for stupid ass reasons
weed can make sense, coke tho? fuck no
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
which we found out he never put on
he just kinda carried it
he just didn’t care. it was the end of thd FTX and he thought it was dumb to have optics with BFAz
so what are you doing then mr operator
guh
the 1.2oz weight savings and "newer" reticle are going to make you shoot better?
Not inherently, but they are factors, and even small factors count.
Sounds pretty negligible when the sacrifice is durability
Unless you’re just using it for the range and not work
Depends on what work id be doing, and on if im actually paying for my gear, if someone else is footing the bill id sooner have a nicer optic that can break than an average optic that cant.
Also i tun nods so the acog is just not optimal for my gear.
i mean i would hope that if you bought NODs you would also have some kind of IR device too
I did, my steiner shit out because shitty qc.
or, to fix the problem entirely you can buy a clip on
Im looking at the new designateir but im waiting till theres some more info on it.
if you really need magnification at night
If im going for a clip on, its probably going on a proper scope rather than an acog, or more likely i would go for a thermal scope, less cost than an analog nv clip on and discrete scope.
yeah. i find it interesting.
i’m sorry what
omg, proper use of the hydra mount
i’m going to coom
omg wtf 😂
itty bitty thing
god i wish they sold the voodoo S to the civilian market
i would be much poorer as a result
That's like, the best thing I've ever seen in my life
Idk wtf that is but I like it
It looks like that German shepherd with spine problems
APC9?
airshit replicas are a dime a dozen in the uk
just saying
Big army really hasnt had a mainline SMG since the grease gun
113 crews were issued them as late as the 90s
Ive talked to guys who were in the 50th who had them up until they got reflagged as light inf under the 42nd
im aware dw
imagine
we actually got a new sub gun?
well, “we”
2 years back
but its never going back to grease gun levels of shit
I just dont see its usecase for mass adoption
carbines directly replaced grease guns
why go back to a spicy +P+ 9mm over 855a1
carbines
in an OW game but ill elaborate in a sec
carbines are a sunk cost
For what tho
pretty much just USASOCOM
I thought we were letting them die
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
o
hearing you guys talk is cool

i might be joining soon after i graduate but its to do computer work not be in the field like yourselves
pretty cool hearing about it though honestly
Don't do it
What kind of computer work?
join the air force in that case.
send any questions you have to @calm stone
eihter cyb sec or anything where i get to program
but most liekly itll be cyb sec to be real
Nice. A lot of good jobs follow that sort of work in the service.
appreciate it. thanks for it and telling me i could ask you questions earlier, too
definitely. i kinda want the challenge of seeing if i could be navy or a marine though, i guess thats dumb if i don't wanna be deployed
but a lot of my family is and i kinda wanna prove it to myself
honestly, if your main goal is school and getting certifications in shit, NG/reserves are the way to go
Don't do it habibi, if you're trying to get it certs, it's much easier just to do an online boot camp and take the test
personally i wouldnt have a problem being deployed. i feel like you guys live the most free life there is. like actual real life, not having full time to be stressed about the bs of life that we take for granted cuz you're in crazy situations, but i got family ik wouldn't last without me
respect what ya do though fr
I took sec+ and ccna at the cost of $400
online boot camp?
yeah, it's most likely what i'll do
Not military boot camp but a certificate course
Us mil is transitioning to a garrison military in the next 2-3 years, you don't want that
depending on countries in asia of course
do you think next 2-3 years fr?
Dont forget africa.
Always a fight in africa and SA
ik we all think it, but i mean you guys are actively deployed so ig i take your word more idk
Deployments to Africa are quite rare
Im more talking some sort of shitfit breaking out
not as big of a worry
Central africa has been too calm
^^^ pretty much just high speeds
Someone is gonna hit the button soon
Us gov don't care about Africa even tho it has much more terrorism in NWA & Somalia than the middle east ever has
Just got done working that mission
ty though that's really good to know. i had no idea you can get security clearance that way
ong, if ghana acts up we might all be fucked
It's not a security clearance, it's a certificate thst shows you did it. Only the us gov can give you a clearance
Nah im talking its been like 2 decades since the last proper civil war.
copy
Wym, there's a civil war in a couple African countries rn
I cant think of any uber big ones that havent been carry overs.
South Sudan, car, Somalia (technically sort of), Zimbabwe had a major coup in 2018, libya to this day
Congo has been on fire for years
mexico
I unfortunately just got done working the north and west Africa mission
Libya has been fucked for years. Sudan fair. And i thought zimbabwe was reletivly quiet nowadays
Now yes. During Iraq and Syrian civil war no.
Western media just doesn't care to report the nitty gritty of African affairs.
ain't nobody care about Syria, Iraq, or Kurdistan
No one will care about Syria.
Mali and CAR was tough a few years back.
Nobody does lol, they don't be handing out gwot ribbons no more
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
appreciate it. thank you. im almost done with my bs + working towards graduating with a cert from school
but ill be tryna get others as well
thank you alot. I'll look into this. I really appreciate it
No problem, the three you should take are SOC Core Skills, Getting Started in Security, and Active Defense & Cyber Deception
This weekend's helmet haul
copy, made a note of it.
so you guys share gun specs but anyone share pc specs
what kind of plate carrier are you thinking of?
lmao, i meant computer
do want a plate carrier in the future though. i didnt know people abbrev it that way
probably ask in general lol
lmao yeah that would probably make more sense
Lol in the context of these “irl” channels, pc’s gonna stand for plate carrier roughly 9 times outta 9
We don’t talk much about our computers here
Yeah, that makes sense lol. But I'm sure you guys have good computers. I've noticed expensive guns and expensive computers kinda go hand in hand
atleast with people around my age
Ive been neglecting my rig to buy guns and other things
The older you get the less people you know play games. So now Im branching out into shooting and hunting
hunting is fun, until its 430 in the morning, you are cold and wet, its the 3rd day of the trip and you didnt get shit, while your buddy got his tag, then you get the shits
yeah, that makes a lot of sense. i already dont really have friends who game that much anymore, we're all busy or they're on console. i really want to get more into hunting, thats my plan when i have a real career and money again
ill probably be doing less gaming then and more coding and hunting for fun. rn just shooting often is expensive lmao
If you get a career in cybersecurity that will no longer be a concern lol
@wind cave I just use laptops
That's true Lol
get a desktop bro
I have no use for it. My laptop can run any game and I can take it anywhere
I also don't really game much anyway on computers. I find it uncomfortable
really? why uncomfortable
i feel you. for most people id reccommend a gaming desktop over laptop since its cheaper and you usually get better specs in the desktop for same or less price
but if it runs every game well it doesnt matter
Probably don't have a proper desk or chair
get a controller and play it like a console
i prefer gaming at a pc than console but i do think console is more comfortable
BS
unless you got one of the new alienware ones with a 3090
i would call bs on that too for most people but idk what laptop he has
and it depends what games he plays
specs?
Except tarkov but tarkov sucks lol
no no Lol
I don't remember
then that's not every game mr. cannoli cent
Every game I own.
my desktop runs tarky great :)
lmaoo ok
tarkov is pretty easy to run lol
Tarkov is the worst optimized game ever
you just need a good CPU
did you really disown tarkov? :(
one of them, yeah
do you know which legion? im tryna find the specs
7i slim
i dont have guns like you guys, but i do have the pc equivalent of your nice guns, so now laptops like this are like a glock to me
yeah, that is a nice laptop though
you shouldn't really have an issue with tarkov, but like you saida lot of it is optimization
It's almost 2 years old now
one of ym good friends has a great pc, but tarkov just doesnt run good for him no matter what. it's probably other issues as well that he doesnt wanna look into but yeah
Yep
this laptop definitely isnt a glock
i spoke too soon. it's got good stuff. im just a hater of gaming laptops
yup
it's like when someone like me buys an AR froma decent company, most of the people here would probably say i couldve built somethign equal or better for around the same price
thats my reason really
Well I can't now they're banned here
building my gaming pc was a real moment for me
I deconstruct and learn
Lol
true
Lmao is that one harness?
Yep
You should see my rifle
Plz show
My God
How much do you love it
And I'm replacing the angled grip with an Olight angled grip/flashlight
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing the spin of non corrosive steel casings twirling into the bushes
Grab sks, go Inna woods

Norinco fmj > anything else
Im going splits on a 1500 round crate next week before cuckdeau bans it
oh hell yeah, explosives
Anyone know where to find the BEAR SPN upper jacket or if it even exists?
Talking about the orange one?
That’s the one
Search up Russian mountain flora jacket
Awesome, cheers mate
Man who’s snorting coke in the background 
I had to look at this and now it's your problem too
whyh would you do this
Keltec R&D
Almost out of halo
air shit
That optic is not worth it’s weight in shit
What would you recommend at the same price point?
Literally anything else
its 349 holy lol whgat
507 series optics are rugged open reflex micro red dot sights designed for pistol use and feature the Holosun Multi-Reticle System (MRS). MRS allows the user to choose between the precision of 2MOA dot only, 32MOA circle only, or a fast-acquisition 2MOA/32MOA Circle-Dot. 507 series optics feature 12 brightness settings, two which are NV-compatib...
the vortex venom is genuinely garbage
vortex cant make dots worth shit and are wasting people who dont know betters money
I ran a vortex crossfire red dot for a few years, thing was mint and held zero through tons of shit. And I'm not light on my gear
This is extremely quality shit posting
😉
Nah my vortex was top tier when I was running it, now it's on my buddy's tavor 7 and he refuses to sell it back to me
I'm gonna look into these holosuns though
whats your opinion on the UH1
ignoring how over priced it is
It’s bad
People love it for whatever reason
Lol I’m having a hell of a time finding a good placard for 7.62x51 mags
Crye something
The crye ones are always sold out lol
I literally had to wear my TAP to fuckin carry some scar mags
We had a demonstration at ranger school recently and I had to carry the scar
I managed to fit some on my esstac
Somehow
I did some janky shit with some AK mag inserts too and it worked but it was limited to 2 because of how thick it was
molle placard and then just buy individual SR25/7.62 mag pouches maybe?
So I tried those but it’s too tight of a fit if it’s not one of the stretchy ones
they dont fit in SR pouches??
Lol this works out because I also started using a gas blowback scar for airsoft too
@stuck hazel they are fuckin picky
yikes
I can kinda see why it’s starting to fall out of favor in certain places
looks like youll have to run stretchy pouches for the time being then
idk what else other than GP pouches
and just not being able to reload quick
haley strategic
DCR3X heavy
or whatever it’s called
The gen v and vi mayflower rigs take x51 mags too
anyone know a good pouch for spare gas mask filters? preferably in multicam.
that isnt a thing
well a small gp pouch that one would recommend, and would fit spare filters then.
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.
For chemical agents that exposure means death in a majority of cases
even with a mask in alot of cases as a plurality are absorbed through the skin
ok, ill still take the smallest possibility.
You arent getting it
filter swapping in a hot enviroment isnt a thing
as the filter end will be exposed to said agent
defeating the purpose OF THE FILTER
I'd keep them in a drop pouch or in a ruck. Not on me.
honestly the best way
ok, and i don't expect to survive if i end up in one, but frankly i fail to see the harm in having the spares accessible while properly sealed, but not placed in my pack, where i will have others.
lets wargame this very dumb idea
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
my guy, the one filter on their will last long enough to get you out of the shit
grrr discord, as i said before silly word filter, and if after getting away i had to leave my pack?
and theres a non-zero chance of another chemical attack?
If you have a good CBRN filter and you're covered head to toe in a CBRN suit you could dance in a VX shower for almost a day and be fine
oh fuck that
fuck
that
The only thing that CBRN filters don't stop for prolonged periods is methyliodide
Which would come from a leaking reactor
Or nuclear weapons...
you know what fair enough point made, thank you for the sage advice, not sarcasm you guys have convinced me i don't need the pouch, ill go for a grenade pouch or something there instead, then i can at least go out with a bang if my filter ends up fucked at the wrong time.
go read an army mask manual
it is made to explain complex concepts in an easily digestible format
downloading one now.
People put alot of faith into the filters to a dangerous degree, modern us filters can have upwards to 3-4 minutes of exposure time to chlorine gas before you're done for
If you're sarin gassed I think you can expose yourself briefly and be ok.
So swapping wouldn't be the worst
Better off not being in an area with the risk of it
very true, but you don't always have a choice in the matter.
Chlorine gas is very dense. Just go upstairs lol
Bold of you to assume that I can walk upstairs with the 30 spare filters on my kit
@coarse laurel you ever choose a rig for .308 mags?
Stuck with a spiritus placard with inserts

whats wrong with the spiritus micro rig?
pfff, casual
i have 8 different masks
that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you check the chamber and magazine when handling a firearm, additionally treat all firearms as if they were loaded even if you know they are not.
I have achieved juice
XL? god damn. might need to worry bout sum else
nah, i’ve always called fat asses out
Napoleon syndrome, sucks to be you.
unless you fucking shaquel o’neil, you don’t need extra large plates
How tall is shack? Also do you even know how plate sizing works?
yes i do, it’s based on vital organ placement, and shaq is 7’2 iirc
which btw, chest size≠vital organ placement
No I'm saying he has a syndrome, you clearly didn't level ur reading comprehension up in school.
probsbly large. considering 90% of people need mediums
I'm 6"4 220.
yeah, mediums would do you fine lol
i’m 6’3 and 185. mediums are plenty fine for guys our size
The cut I wanted didn't come in L
Can u not see the picture lol
