OCP unironically is the best camo that the military put out since the woodland pattern in the 80s. It also minimized the flaws that the scorpion and MultiCam pattern been having when it comes to it blending in grasslands. Not sure why SOF never bothers to switch to OCP at this point.

but newbie to gun sports.
I've recently found myself in a need of a good pistol / battle belt. Something I can clip on and off my waist real fast, while carrying a decent amount of load on it.
At first, I thought I could make do with some old surplus chestrig or combat vest, but they don't quite fit the bill.
All the Google searches and YT videos are just wannabe oper-8-ors babbling about their pocket setups, so I ask ye, the might /k/:
What sort of belt should I look for?
Brands, models, tips and tricks. Budget options welcome as well, don't want a piece of leather and cloth to cost more than my firearms.

Resource on what these spec terminology mean

https://gloomgroup.com/blogs/night-vision-info/night-vision-specifications-understanding-what-they-mean
You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.
Some reputable retailers:

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise
EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts
Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights
Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is
LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart
If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game
The numbers to meet or beat are
EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci
Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome
SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci
Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar
Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci

With the whole industry racing to Business Class - trying to capture their piece of the overpriced 1911/2011 market – amid a wider reactionary turn away from carry minmaxing, what happens to plastic? Where does the race to the bottom actually bottom out, and does something new start from there?
It seems like the polymer-and-steel perfection™ paradigm is currently dying. But it's mostly dying from ever-cheaper clones and pushback against strikerslop as premium firearms, not from actual counterexamples making use of either more interesting metals (Al/Be/Mg/Sc/Ti) or better substitutes for Polymer 2 and its analogues.

While the site was down, the cup has proceeded as scheduled. This past weekend saw the Spring Qualifiers played out. As champions of the 2024 Autumn Babby, /k/ has earned the honor of hosting the Spring Babby. While /k/ will not be taking to the field ourselves, the referee pool, aesthetics pack, final boss and opening ceremony will be themed for /k/. The group stage draw will occur this Sunday, with the battle being joined on Friday the 2nd.
In the longer term, /k/ will be due for roster voting before our appearance in Summer. This will likely be early June following the conclusion of the Babby, but nominations are always open. If there are any other issues or suggestions you would like to see addressed, please feel free to bring them forward.

>Handgun
>Semi auto rifle
>Manual rifle (bolt, lever, pump, etc)
>Shotgun
>Rimfire weapon
I’ll start:
>Handgun
This is probably the hardest choice for me, personally. I think this would be either a Glock or 1911 chambered in 10mm. I feel like that provides the best balance of a handgun that can be used for carry, hunting, and dangerous game defense. I’m going to ultimately say 1911 just because I love the platform. Even though I don’t currently own a 1911 in 10mm. Barring that, probably a GP100 in .357 magnum, for pretty much the same reasons.
>Semi auto rifle
A standard 16” AR in 5.56. Probably the most boring option, but also the undeniably most practical for someone living in the western world.
>Manual rifle (bolt, lever, pump, etc)
Ruger Alaskan in .300 Win Mag. I was actually going to say a Ruger Guide Gun in .375 Ruger, but I ultimately think that’s a little too obscure to be my only full power rifle cartridge. I’d be handloading it, but I’d still prefer a cartridge with more mainstream support. I wanted something that could be used for hunting anything in North America and it’s better to have too much gun than not enough.
>Shotgun
Gonna have to be boring and say a Mossberg 500 in 12 GA.
>Rimfire weapon
A browning BL-22 Lever action. My Dad has one of these that I’ve always loved. If I can only ever have one .22, I’m chunking my 10/22 and getting one of these.

Just got that pachmayr pistol grip for my 1300. They say it's the best available, being discontinued for a discontinued gun. I'll need to sand it a bit, it doesn't perfectly fit, probably because of the trigger guard being meh adjusted.

I'll be starting with what is probably the most ubiquitous photograph of him with a weapon, the K2C, a carbine variant of the South Korean K2 assault rifle. After doing some research, a number of K2C1s entered service with the Philippine National Police in 2019. Obviously this photo predates that so I suspect it's a test rifle that was sent over for evaluation some years prior.

1. Do the Ukrainians, U.S military, federal law enforcement or Israelis have anything available or in development to to take these drones out besides small arms fire or lasers?
2. Could the fiber optic drone be connected by cable to a relay that wirelessly communicates with the operator. Thus putting more distance between operator and drone, but still maintaining the drones inherent ability to ignore EW and jamming.
3. How visible are drones to thermal optics?
thank you for your input.
So we've all been hearing for years that there is no footage of the North Korean AKs with helical mags firing, but our resident Norktard says he's seen it on North Korean TV during an arms expo or special forces demonstration or something >>63587100. Not only that, he says they had it on a table and showed the feed lips.
>Why are you taking a tripfag's word that he remembers something nobody has reported on?
I'm not sure he actually saw it, but we're bound to turn up some cool footage regardless. Given that nobody watches North Korean TV but North Koreans, stuffy researchers, and Norktard, for all we know Kim's hot sister dances topless every Friday night at 10pm and none of them thought to mention it.
>How can I help find this footage for the glory of the /k/ube?
There are a few things you can do to help find it.
Option 1: find information about North Korean arms expos from news articles or other sources of information, finding out the dates they took place and information about when the footage was broadcast would help narrow down the search window immensely. Norktard said it was in 2022 or 2023, so let's widen the search to everything from 2020 to now.
Option 2: comb over the footage from https://kcnawatch.org/kctv-archive/?start=01-01-2020&end=11-04-2025 to find /k/ related stuff. The search function is paywalled, but probably wouldn't help much anyway (it's easy to bypass if you want to give it a shot). Even if it's not what we're looking for, any cool /k/ related footage would be neat, so post webms if you know how to make them, if you don't, just post links to the video and screenshots + timestamps of when the cool stuff happened so anons who know how can make them.
Option 3: If you know how to make webms, help make webms from the clips other anons find.
We've never seen a confirmed sighting of one I don't think.

What weapons and equipment have you brought with you? How will you survive the bitter cold, hunger, disease, and hordes of marauding Indians and German cannibals?
In the game "Nuclear Option" there is a problem with radar missiles and stealthy aircraft. The Scythe is an active radar homing missile that has a semi-active state where it is guided by any radar that can see it and transmit to the missile. This is typically powerful ship or ground based radar or AWACS craft if the target is a stealth craft as they will typically detect low RCS at ranges of 15 km while AWACS will detect it out to 45 km. When the missile itself detects the target it switches to terminal mode and if it then loses track of the target for two seconds it self destructs.
This means that the default case of being engaged by an ARH missile is that it can not be shaken until the missile detects the aircraft. Non stealthy platforms will usually be detected by the missile at around 10-12 km, while the lowest RCS value in the game (0.001 m^2) will be detected at 2-3 km. Most aircraft have defensive jamming systems that, if they are also notching the missile, will easily defeat the missile. Stealth craft also have this but the time to react is minuscule in comparison.
The end result is that stealth craft are more vulnerable to ARH missiles in most situations.
Is any of this realistic? Are there situations where, for example, an F-35 engaged by an R-37 (ignoring difficulties in russians detecting and targeting such) might perform worse than an F-16?
Are there more historical examples of loosing a regional fleets’ flag ship to an opponent without a navy?
Did they receive any infantry squad tactics or were they just glorified farmers with AKs?
And what did they do against tanks/armored vehicles?
