/AKM/ - Guns, weapons and the art of war.

Anyone able bodied can be drafted, and countries that handicap themselves with such frivolous rules about who can't be drafted aren't planning to draft anyway, or don't take the conflict seriously. It's a taunt.
Though I do like the idea of being ineligible, I'll just dodge regardless, so I'm hoping the pressure remains that they don't have the choice not to.

Bayonets on rifles appreciation thread -

Do you fill put an application form or is it a job you make it to through connections? Is there a formula?

I have no money, no job and no purpose.

This guide will be purely talking about equipment. There are many other resources for training and organizing. I will leave out anything that requires further knowledge, this guide is meant to be accessible NOT in depth. This guide is meant to be shared to people who do not own a gun or are otherwise ignorant. If you have any suggestions or corrections I will edit it. Once the final product is complete I will turn it into a pdf and a simple image guide to be shared. This is a collaborative project so if you think something I said is stupid, let me know.

You need a semi-auto rifle, specifically an ar15.
They're accurate, lightweight, high capacity, and can shoot quickly.
An ar15 is recommended due to their customization and versatility. Parts and ammo for an ar are also very easy to get (at least in the US). The 556 round has proven time and time again to be effective. Sure an ak might look cooler but they are often more expensive and not as reliable as an ar. This guide will be US centric so a lot of the advice maybe won't apply to you if you live elsewhere.

Ar15 Basic Guide:
You can save money by getting a separate lower and upper. They're easy to put together. The upper matters a lot, the lower much less so. Oftentimes complete ars will have an overpriced lower so buying just the upper and the lower separate can save you quite a bit.

Handguard style: I always recommend M-Lok. It's lighter and better than keymod and allows easy attachments. I honestly don't see any reason to choose anything else unless if you just don't like the feeling of m-lok for whatever reason in which case you can research alternatives.

Length: The length you'll likely end up using is 16", this is as short as you get without dealing with any annoying laws. For whatever reason anything below this is much more of a hassle to get. 16 is a fine length anyway. A 20" will shoot the round faster and a bit further, but the military decided to move away from it in favor of a shorter length. I don't think the extra speed makes enough of a difference to justify the extra length. As for going shorter the rifle will get less accurate but for close quarters combat (such as inside buildings) this is preferred. Specifically an 11.5" is a great option. Remember though the military used 20" barrels inside for years. If they can do it so can you.
Tldr: Buy a 16"

Brands: Now this part depends heavily on your budget. If you're well off I woulPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

What's the tackiest handgun I could buy?

Many advanced systems (such as the F-35, HIMARS, Patriot) have software and hardware that is controlled, updated, or encrypted by the US. This can indirectly act as a "switch," because allies cannot freely reprogram or modify the systems without approval from the US. They could shut down the entire Western defense capability if they wanted to. Most often, Washington limits capacity through policy or hardware configuration prior to transfer (e.g., by limiting the range of HIMARS in Ukraine). It's not a "remote control," but it achieves the same effect. Communications and networks (Link 16, GPS, etc.) are also under US control and can be shut down or restricted in certain areas, giving Washington leverage.

Buy Swedish.

how much of an impact does one guy who has thousand hours of target training but nothing else make in war? just an average joe with an ar 15 who is good at hitting a target, no survival or military training besides that.

Literature and others sources for reading on the history, manufacture, and use of improvised weapons. The TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook is usually recommended as the most comprehensive and practical but was curious about other sources people have read.

I've also read Fighting In The Streets, a few groups communiques e.g. BOAK, and some history of the IRA, especially their mortar campaign.

I've also seen a few guides for police bomb technicians and Hollywood special effects teams.

Taiwanese DCCU looks so good, it looks like everything the american UCP tried to be but failed at. I really wanna get my hands on a full taiwanese DCCU uniform but its very difficult for two reasons - lack of avaibility and production is largely if not almost entirely made for smaller sizes. Last pic seems darker for some reason. I think I might buy a replica off of aliexpress or some other obscure site some day.

I remember there was this really good one I can't find anymore where the only flaw it had was calling chinese camo "chink camo", can't find it anymore, it was a good list though, if anyone has it saved pls repost.
