O-onii-chan, don't do that. It's making weird noises

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

"Are you drawing weapons in class anon?!"

"This violent drawing is against our zero-tolerance in school weapons policy! give me that! I'll have to see you after class and we'll talk about how disrespectful this is!"

Ron Paul has suggested that Congress issue letters of marque and reprisal. Would /k/ become privateers?

Alright. Need a bit of fun tonight here on /k/. Let's do this!

Hold, it /k/, don't you fucking move you sack of shit.

Humanity we come to you because we need your help. There are twenty thousand sentient species scattered across this universe and many more undiscovered, they all need your help. Because there is a mechanical scourge of violent robotic life, they pledge to kill off every organic species in the universe, and they've already killed off about 133 hundred thousand sentient races. They are coming for you, as they come for all of us.
And yet not all is lost. For we have recently come upon a violent war like species. They live and breathe violence and yet they are also compassionate and intelligent. We are going to give them weapons, ships, technology, resources, everything we can. We are going to terraform millions of planets and we are going to fill every one of these planets with humans. It is our hope that your species will breed, and spread across the universe, consume all in your path and destroy all who stand in your way. All life in this universe is now depending on your appetite for destruction. are you hungry?

Sup /k/,

Long time poster here but only using tripcode for purposes of this thread.

I'm a Britfag army armourer. I maintain and repair all the weapons and most of the optics at my unit.

Today I thought I'd take some pics of the SA80 (or L85A2) in various states of disassembly for your viewing pleasure. I'll post a few to start with and if there's interest I'll post the rest.

As I'm sure you can see, this is the L85A2 with the new LDS (Lightweight Day Sight) w/ CQB.

Could we have a greentext story thread for any and all stories relating to aviation?

Since we had such an engaging fighter discussion the other day, I thought I'd start a new topic.

Why is it that Russian aircraft generally have 30mm cannons while US (save for the A10) mostly have 20mm?

Is it like 7.62 vs 5.56?

I posit that Russia prefers WVR combat while the US prefers BVR.

[This may have been posted before, I didn't browse /k/ a lot in the last weeks]

I came across the youtube channel of Kevin Dawes, a 'freelance abttlefield journalist' who went to Libya with his camcorder and soon picked up a rifle also. The channel is pretty unorganized but the videos are very good quality and show stuff that you don't see very often.

Because he embedded himself with the rebels, he also took part in some fighting (he said he got a few kills, that may be douchebag braggery or the truth). It looks more like he just tagged along with the rebels as another fighter with a camera instead of a fullblown journalist with press signs everywhere. Yo ucan doubt his motives for going to Libya but at least he did not wear press signs while actively fighting and his material is quite fascinating:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WItfm_2xWZo - examining some of the SA-7 that people were freking out about just lying around, without grip stocks or cooling/ battery modules but working otherwise

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNj1YPmiQYU - at a range with the rebels, his grip is probably not the best

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYDzTk4t6tA - more MANPADS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVKB6pSwVuc - another munitions dump, mortar rounds etc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9pFrt95H7U - some rebel tube-launched improvised artillery in action

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnnea-zqlEE - trying to set a Gaddafi billboard on fire

Most of the videos have a summary in the descripotion, the titles are pretty generic though. Just skip through some of them, I found them very interesting and hope my fellow /k/ommandos will enjoy them, too.
