Welcome to /k/, 4chan's weapons board. Our board centers around weapons, armor, and other myriad military technology. While guns are the primary topic, threads involving any other sort of weapons, from swords and knives to tanks and jet fighters, come up frequently as well. If you're new, we suggest reading the sticky at http://amagicalplace.wikia.com/wiki/Sticky to get acquainted with the board's subject matter.

Before posting a thread, please check our catalog to ensure that a thread about the same topic does not already exist.

Capability is more than numbers. Didn't Indogs just lose a sub recently.

Assume you live somewhere that has open gun laws. (open carry, cc, etc.) But does not allow full auto. And you own full auto and went shooting and a cop pulls up and asks you about the gun and to shoot it to see if its semi. What can you do and what should you do and should you do anything at all? Just curious

That's kinda what I was thinking.
Even if you do illegally own a machine gun I don't see how a cop could reasonably infer that you are in fact in violation of any law since legally owning a machine gun is possible.

You can say no, but if he heard you that'd definitely be probable cause to get a warrant. Cop might fuck up and get pushy enough to maybe offer an angle to get evidence tossed, but it wouldn't actually be necessary. He could play it entirely by the book no problem. He'd ask for your ID, because you do need to be old enough to have a gun at all. He'd ask you to cooperate. If he didn't he'd arrest you, no search of you and your vehicle at all, which under the circumstances would be completely legal. Then the police would go to a magistrate judge, lay out the officer testimony and circumstances, and ask for a warrant to search your car/bags/whatever and check any firearms. They'd 99.9% get a warrant. And then it'd be completely kosher.

So YEAH, if you want to go around with felony guns at least go somewhere genuinely innawoods middle of nowhere you fucking retard. Or go rent one at a range legally if you just want to try it.

Well generally it's good idea to boil this water first, also people like to build their own well/artesian well on their plots (rural settlements). Though not during Soviet times in RSFSR, it was literally impossible to buy construction materials required for well. When capitalism started people started to build private wells.

But think about drunkards, they are partying all night on the street of the village, and they get thirsty for water, where? Public well on the street seems like a good idea.

I suppose it's possible but the fast approvals are a procedural change in how they process the forms. It used to be first in first out and a delay would stop the entire national line of approvals. Now, a delay shifts over into an alternate delayed queue and the non-delayed applications continue moving. I don't see any reason that would revert outside of an intentional "fuck you" to the buyer that would be so blatant at this point as to border on illegal.
Also, I bought a suppressor 2 weeks ago and it was a 24 hours wait time, no exaggeration.

I want to fight and die in a war but I'm a pathetic NEET retard who weighs 300+lbs. I don't care who it is, I want to be cannon fodder.

How do I go from this to a competent soldier in a standard military?

Exercise is actually the poorest way to reduce weight, these people are huge, their caloric expenditure is already high as fuck just maintaining their size, it's just exercise is useful for keeping them healthy and the muscles from wasting away instead of fat stores.
What needs controlling is their intake. Too much high calorie foods, in too large doses too often.

What enables this behaviour is food being too readily available, this needs fixing.
Portion sizes must be shrunk, food must be inhibitive to cook and the body needs to get through the "crisis mode" of weight loss where the body thinks it's starving to death.
Small fatty meals are fine, but no microwave meals, takeout (delete apps), chips, candy should be in the household, you should literally throw them out. If it doesn't take 30-60m to cook unless it's veggies, it shouldn't be in the house at all.
Eventually after weight loss you can allow a couple things in to cheat with and not be fussed about the odd cake every other day, but you need a handle on the weight first to find out what your actual baseline is.

What makes it inhibitive is you eventually plateau on weight loss and give up on "the diet", and go right back to eating like you used to, rather than realising the cut wasn't enough, and it's time to cut even more. A diet is for life, it can be tasty, it just can never be filling. Filling is bad. Small portions and not often, keep boredom eating away by doing something like games or hobbies.

Stress eating is a whole another issue, and if you do that you need a therapist.
>>
>>61280024
Yes, diet and food is like 70-80% of fat loss HOWEVER I will always say go do something active, it burns calories all the same and these fucks have literally no lives, so its much better to spend it outside than festering in their fat
>>
>>61280024
You need both, reducing food intake will indeed remove fat but you need to get your muscles working so the food you do intake isn't just stored as fat. I harp so hard on the exercise because it's the hardest part. Once you get over that hurdle reducing or at the very least adjusting to a healthier diet feels significantly easier.
I used to be fat (260lbs was my highest weight) and I remember that once I was able to comfortably jog I started losing weight at faster rate than just doing powerwalks and meal planning.

But you are correct that all the working out in the world doesn't make up for a poor diet. Chugging beers and sodas everyday while eating nothing but mac n cheese isn't just going to make you fat but actively make you feel weaker and make that post workout soreness 10x worse.
But even with a healthy diet eating 5 lbs of egg whites and 15lbs of broccoli isn't gonna lose you any weight either.
>>61279994
I feel this I managed to get exactly 1 of my fat friends to do cardio but once he stopped doing it with me he went right back to ignoring it and putting on weight (he was "bulking") but he still looks better than before.

At best it was for Samurai to be able to use their swords to take out someone pulling a pistol on them at point blank range, small handguns have been used as replacement daggers for ages to deliver shots at bad breath distance, a distance that a sword could still be useful at.

>>
>>61280580
This wouldn't have really been a concern, Japan had nothing but matchlocks during the Edo period, so the whole concept of quickly drawing and firing a pistol wasn't a thing, and iaijutsu is known to have existed long before percussion and then cartridge guns started coming into the country in the 1850s.
>>
>>61278965
if your question is how to beat guns with blades the answer is speed, surprise, technique, and of course launching your attack from as close distance as possible. Use cover and concealment do not engage recklessly as you have a severe disadvantage. Stab em through the heart or neck or chink in their armor and twist then keep attacking ensure they are out of the fight. A better idea might be to get a gun somehow and use that instead. If you are being shot at in an open area with no cover your options essentially become close as quickly as possible and disable them with an attack, retreat rapidly zigzagging into cover ASAP or perhaps a strafing retreat depending on the environment. You will have to make a snap judgement in that scenario which is best and frankly none are ideal. The ideal would be to have your own gun and out-soot the enemy

Surprisingly, not necessarily anon. If you're flying something like an F-15E or F-16 the tanks may be attached to you semi-permanently, you'd plan for basically everything done with those tanks on. The tanks on the F-16 only limit you to about 5G, which isn't that much of a limitation anyway.

Like yeah if you got bounced or had to defend against a SAM or something you'd drop them, of course, but anything else you'd keep them on. I've read about pilots doing BVR with their tanks on even. As long as you don't pull over 5G or so, you're fine.

The problem with DCS tards is they view "drop tanks" (they're not actually called that anymore) as literal drop tanks. They think you run them dry then drop them for more power. They're fucking retarded.

>>61280856
Oh and another thing, you should see how many DCS players rank aircraft basically just on fuel capacity, and how they fly in game. They sit on military throttle or afterburner 24/7 then complain that the F-16 doesn't have enough fuel.

It does. You're just supposed to cruise. IF you cruise and plan your mission properly you can eek 600+ nautical mile strike missions out of it, without refueling, with just the two external tanks. These retards sit on full afterburner for more power!!!!!! and then complain that they're getting 100 nautical miles of range out of it.

It's gotten to the point where it's an actual problem in non-DCS circles too. If you search something like F-16 SEAD some of the first non-US-military-history-website results will be people on hoggit talking about their "SEAD Techniques" that end up being retarded gamified shit that doesn't work IRL discussed by retards who don't know how to access the endurance page on an F-16.

It seems that they threw the mine into the water where the current immediately washed it back into them.

Do the Russians have dedicated inland water mines, or are they just jerry-rigging various landmines to work in rivers instead?

I would assume actual purpose-built mines with have an arming timer to allow the boast to safely get away from it once deployed.
