Board: /k/
"/k/ - Weapons" is 4chan's imageboard for discussing all types of weaponry, from military tanks to guns and knives.
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.
Discussions about politics, current events, or gun control belong on >>>/pol/
Before posting a thread, please check our catalog to ensure that a thread about the same topic does not already exist. Russian Su-35 was shot down today how do i look cool when larping instead of sweaty fuck with creased and wild clothes The J-35A is officially in service with the PLAAF. What are the tactical implications of this? Wagner to withdraw from Mali after 'completing mission!
Message from the press service of the Wagner PMC :
PMC Wagner completed its main mission in Mali
For 3.5 years, the orchestra members fought shoulder to shoulder with the people of Mali against terrorism. We destroyed thousands of militants and their commanders who had been terrorizing the civilian population for years. We helped local patriots create a strong and disciplined army capable of defending their land. And we accomplished the main task - all regional capitals returned under the control of the legitimate authorities.
Mission accomplished. PMC Wagner returns home.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3ve0e7ndzo Animated map of last night drone and missile attack. Which World War II general are you, /k/?
https://www.idrlabs.com/ww2-generals/test.php Is 762 too much for squirrels? I see why the military wants camouflage but why does your average cop need to dress like a janitor or a pseudo soldier? Put them in old school military uniforms with bright colors and decorations.
Helmet tail link for the LARPers: https://www.ade.pt/product/helmet-tail/ The Browning system that is standard with virtually all handguns today uses a moving barrel that helps to absorb recoil forces. All this really accomplishes is sacrificing accuracy in order to save a few ounces, or so the slide can be racked by little girls or something. It's never really seemed like a good deal to me. And the only alternatives are revolvers, .22 pistols, and antique .380s with fixed sights you can barely see. And Hipoints. You literally cannot buy a mechanically accurate pistol in a modern service cartridge except for custom competition guns that rely on machining tolerances so tight that they can only function with match grade ammo. How did things get this way? Strategic advantage of tapping into your few domestic airliners to continue the cruise missile spam? What are some dumb attachments I can put on my AR when to trigger or confuse fuds at the rural outdoor range? Thoughts about latest advances in Russian drone technology? Such as this new 50km range fiber optic fpv drone?

>The PL-15 which is one of the most sophisticated and longest-range missiles in use, received targeting information from a network of sensors, only using its own advanced radar system in the final moments before impact. The Indian fighters may not have detected the PL-15 missiles until it was too late to react.
>Many analysts believe this brief conflict reveals that China has the key capabilities required to dominate future air combat: sensor fusion, edge intelligence (in the missiles and eventually drones themselves) and long-range strike capability. Westerners tend to have an outdated mental model of Chinese military technology – that it is mostly borrowed from the Soviets or stolen from the West. But close observers, including Vladimir Putin, have noted that Chinese military R&D has now surpassed both Russian and western capabilities in key areas.
>They mass produce ballistic and hypersonic missiles capable of hitting US aircraft carriers and bases as far away as Guam. A network of satellites, over-the-horizon radars, drones and missiles allows the People’s Liberation Army to monitor and strike all surface ships in the Western Pacific.
>The recent challenges faced by the US Navy in the Red Sea do not bode well. Despite the relatively unsophisticated nature of Houthi weapons – missiles and drones supplied by Iran – the US has struggled to secure maritime routes there. Commercial shipping is repeatedly disrupted. To counter these threats, American carrier groups have expended billions on missile interceptors and incurred massive operational costs. Reports even indicate that Houthi surface-to-air missiles came perilously close to downing advanced US aircraft, including F-16 and F-35 stealth fighters. These incidents underscore a critical vulnerability: even rudimentary systems when deployed asymmetrically can overwhelm technologically superior forces.

What part of it dying to the PL-15 was due to human error? Did he just run out of fuel or chaff? I thought it was blown up because reformists were wrong, and you really do need to have the best radar systems in order to not be blown up by people you can't see who are far away. >Small navies edition

I found two spent shell casings and I'm trying to ID them properly.
1. First one is in very good shape. Markings on the base:
RG
7 44
I assume it's British, maybe .303 or 7.92mm? Can someone confirm?
2. Second one is heavily rusted, no visible markings. Possibly Eastern Bloc or Soviet-made?
Both found near the Korean DMZ area. Any chance these were used during Korean War by UN troops or other forces?
Would appreciate any input on era, origin, or potential weapon systems used.
Cheers.
Those shells are found in Korea. Maybe those were used when Korea war.

Why haven't you started your own self-defense company? How practical are canted sight? It looks completely retarded. The OBBB (which the HPA was rolled into and the GOA wants to roll the SHORT act into) is still waiting to go to the senate for a vote.

Who is Abdul R. Rahman who invented the MRE? What is his ethnicity? Is he Muslim?

The credit for delicacies such as fajitas and pasta making their way into U.S. military rations is largely owed to one man, combat feeding experts say: Abdul Rahman.
But Rahman’s nephew, Army Capt. Eric Rahman, 34, a signal officer and veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, said that not all his uncle’s prototypes were home runs. Rahman grew up next door to his uncle in Natick, Mass., where the professor worked for the Defense Department’s Combat Feeding Program.

Doctor Abdul Rahman, a civilian scientist, was contracted by the military in 1975 to start the process of creating a better version of the LRP. In the course of his research, he managed to create a whole meal made up of dehydrated food. This food was held in a lightweight and highly portable pouch.
His efforts led to him being awarded the Meritorious Civilian Service Award by the military. The work he performed for the military served as the foundation for which the Meal Ready to Eat was created. Despite being effective, these meals still had some issues as they weren’t always palatable. It is slower than Tejas....Mach 1.6 to 1.8.

https://apollogearco.com/blogs/news/night-vision-specs-explained
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 Why do people recommend small guns to women when a heavier gun is going to have less recoil and be easier to control? So i guess they got that whole damage control thing figured out.

>The FC-31 aircraft "will begin arriving within months", the official said recently, while also confirming that PAF pilots are in China undergoing training to fly the aircraft. The official did not disclose any terms of the deal, including the date it was signed.
>In May another Pakistan government official told Janes that the procured FC-31 will be equipped with China's PL-17 air-to-air missile (AAM), which has a range of about 400 km.
Curious decision of China to be so quick to sell an aircraft to Pakistan that they themselves have barely even induced, including China's trump-card that is the PL-17 VLRAAM.
Something's up in the Indian Subcontinent. Currently camping in the white mountains with my .22 (308 was 8 pounds loaded so fuck that), give me your best experiences, /k/
ou are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.
But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!
I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!
Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

/pol/tards stay in your containment board How much of a difference did the BGM-71 TOW make in the Iran-Iraq war? India loves Japan very much. https://www.patriagroup.com/newsroom/news/2025/patria-to-begin-assembly-of-ascod-infantry-fighting-vehicles-in-latvia
>To mark the fifth anniversary of Patria’s operations in Latvia and the first anniversary of the Defence Partnership Latvia (DPL) armoured vehicle production facility in Valmiera, Patria and GDELS-Santa Barbara Sistemas (GDELS) jointly announce the start of a strategic collaboration The DPL facility in Valmiera will handle the assembly and maintenance of ASCOD Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs), with the first production units expected in June 2026.
An example of how military procurement should be handled, from Latvia of all places. Faster delivery, boost to local industry, and the ability to maintain the things locally eliminates the need of shipping the IFV's back to Spain in case of any serious damage.

Apologize Take a typical HD scenario. Someone's coming to break into your home, you can clearly tell they're armed and have good reason to suspect they're there to kill you, but from what you can see, they're not wearing armor.
You have a magazine of rubber shot (or a tube's worth of rubber) in addition to standard 9mm/5.56/12 ga buckshot next to your gun. You select that and wait.
Threat breaks in, threat gets shot, threat neutralized, but you got lucky here, and he lives.
What does the prosecutor say? What are your chances?
>Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed that China is supplying key materials and equipment to at least 20 Russian military production facilities, directly enabling Moscow’s ongoing war against Ukraine. The revelation, made by the chief of Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Oleh Ivashchenko, underscores growing concerns about Beijing’s role in circumventing Western sanctions and sustaining Russia’s war machine.
>“There is information that China supplies tooling machines, special chemical products, gunpowder, and components specifically to defense manufacturing industries,” Ivashchenko told on Monday. “We have confirmed data on 20 Russian factories.”
>While Kyiv has previously accused China of supporting Russia indirectly through trade, this marks one of the most detailed and explicit assessments of Chinese involvement in Russia’s arms industry. The intelligence chief’s remarks add further weight to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s earlier accusation in April that China was supplying artillery shells and gunpowder to Russia. China’s Foreign Ministry dismissed those claims as “groundless,” but Ukraine responded by imposing sanctions on three Chinese companies linked to arms-related shipments.
>According to Ivashchenko, Ukrainian intelligence has also documented at least five instances of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the aviation sector between 2024 and 2025. These include the transfer of aviation equipment, spare parts, and sensitive documentation essential for maintaining or upgrading Russian aircraft fleets. Ivashchenko noted six additional cases involving “large shipments” of specialty chemicals used in defense manufacturing, though specific details were withheld.
We have official confirmation from Kyiv, yet the west won't do anything to stop this?:
https://kyivinsider.com/china-providing-military-supplies-to-20-russian-defense-plants-intelligence-chief-says/ I got to shoot one of my grail guns today. I've had this dumb smile on my face for like an hour now because of it. Very pleasant to shoot even if the grip is a little small for my hands. I've wanted to shoot one of these things since I was a child. If they didn't cost as much as the down payment on a car I would have grabbed one already.

Previous: >>63678773 So, now both Escape from Tarkov and Arma are going to have the AK-50.
What's going on, is herrera just really good at giving bjs to game devs?
Haven't really seen anyone bringing this up so just wanted to put it out there. Normally I wouldn't expect anything to actually come of this, but apparently they promised 8 planes by end of year. So presumedly Russia actually plans to deliver in short order and not just endlessly kick the can down the road. Of course, nothing is set in stone but the rather soon deadline makes me think this won't be the usual. We'll see soon enough.
Assuming it actually goes forward this would be a really interesting development for a few reasons. First, if Russia actually provides the goods and has a satisfied customer that would suddenly make the Felon a lot more attractive prospect for other nations, especially considering the blackeye Dassault took recently. Secondly, Algeria's only real rival is Morocco who is I think the oldest ally of the USA. If some sort of conflict were to ever kick off between them, the chances that the burgers would get some pretty good intel would be almost certain.
Disclaimer I shouldn't need to make and I fucking hate you that I have to: I'm not Chinese, I'm not Russian, I'm not Indian, I'm not Pakistan. There isn't some hidden motive to the thread. I just actually wanted to discuss arms sales and how that might shape a possible WW3. Fuck you faggots.

well FUCK Pic related is reliable and it works with all ammo, what's your opinion on 5.7x28mm handguns?
And don't say that 5.7 is weak because the fort hood massacre occured with a 5.7 handgun that injured 30 and killed 13 people. Now that the dust has settled, which is better? Crye or Patagonia? I like Patagonia better honestly, they feel more flexible than cryes. You laughed at Slaughterbots with its tiny 3g-explosive drones when it came out almost a decade ago. Now it's becoming reality. >Indian Chief of Defense Staff Gen. Anil Chauhan on jet losses:
>Uh, I think what is important is not the jet being downed, but why they were being downed.
>Why they were downed?
>The good part is we understood the tactical mistake, remedied it, rectified it, and flew all our jets again after two days, targeting at long range.

What's with this? The only example of American troops using color markers I could find was them using red tape during a training exercise, but Russia seems to have adopted that color already. Does anyone know what the US army would use for infantry IFF? Heat Seeking Missiles are well known and used tech.
Modern drones use human pilots over radio or fiber optics to make kill decisions.
If a drone can guide itself to its final destination, now we call that "AI."
But a Sidewinder Missile already had heat seeking, which in the modern day, would be referred to as "AI making a decision to kill by itself."
So the big questions are
>can heat seeking work with a cheap ir drone camera
>what kind of chip do you need to run heat seeking on a drone
>will people freak out about heat seeking drones and call them "AI Terminator genocide bots" even though we've already had heat seeking missiles for decades? New here? Read this:

https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1749061885566882.mp4 How do you handle having guns while living with people who are against them? Wear marks, weathering, range trip results, prove you actually carry and use your weapons. The F-15E will be a vital and crucial weapon in vanquishing the Demonic Chinese Communist beast.
A flight of F-15E's can do multiple missions in one sortie.
>One Equipped with HARMs can take out PLA Air defenses.
>Another Equipped with AMRAAMs can take down a Squadron of PLAAF fighters.
>A third and fourth equipped with PGMs and AGMs can take out a PLAN fleet or PLA division.
This bird will be crucial in liberating the Pacific and the world from Chinese Communism and the beast of International Communism as a whole. What kinds of long range strike alternatives does Russia have? Will we ever get cheap machine guns again?
