Kamp Kuzma: The Operators' Campgrounds (For Operating)

You know that in practice that applies to what was historically labelled as communism as well?

Back in barracks

About that rifle.. I'm not really interested. It looks kinda redundant to implement a bolt-action mechanism to the AR-15. I like my rifles self-loading.

[color=#993300]You don't understand, the point of having the bolt-action is to reduce the chance of having people complain about the gun. If it isn't self- loading, then less people will complain about it being an assault weapon, not to mention people already complain enough about guns simply by their looks

So that's the purpose of adding manual loading mechanism to those rifles..

Yeah basically an every autoloader that also happens to be a rifle or has a magazine of more than 7-10-15 round (pick your state) is suddenly an evil children killing man slaughtering device of Devil. I happen to own a rifle build from ex-military parts due our army phasing those rifles out and 5$ per surplus mil-serve mag, and a pistol that has a standard capacity of 15+1 with old and 16+1 with new mags... Never had an actual desire to shoot anything than paper. unles it threatens my very own life.

Also found this on the internet. I believe that's Estonian cammies:

lol at the pic... or more specifically, to those lines.

Yeah the lines are pretty good.

Also I am in a bit of a spamming mode so some gun porn:
(Wish I could have as many)

Yup, thats an estonian right...

And the fella behind him just screaming FRANCE. :D

Do you know why French Foreign Legion is only combat effective unit in France? Because it ain't made of French people.

Haha.

Know that fact.

Speaking of military,

MY CURRENT BARRACKS CAUSE ME DEPRESSION

How is the state of your barracks? o.O It must be tough sh*t to cause depression.

Its the colors of the room. There are 34 guys in the nearly the same size of a room (its litrle bigger) and the way of life in that barracks is utter clusterfuck that is made to mess with troops nd waste time

Well you could always work out.

Evening laddies(as in lads) and gents,

Your CO is reporting in after a nicely tiring plane ride moving forward in time. Just making known I'm here and giving opinions where it's been needed.

Firstly, I'm glad to see another of military background. Though there are plenty around, we're not really the active kind. Welcome aboard and hope you're playing nice with the people around here, BigBud.

Secondly, that is indeed an interesting rifle Val though even with all it's attempts at legality, I bet people will still find a way to not let it through. There's always at least one brain dead fuck in Parliament when it comes to these things.

I'm not real familiar with Pistol Carbine conversion kits but I imagine there are ones for most major pistol platforms like Glocks, 1911s and SiGs.

Anyway, that's all from me. I'm gonna go and recover from jetlag.

Oh, welcome back, Kei.

Hope you aren't too bummed out leaving WA already. I'mma stop by later today, alright. For now, I got work to do.

ANIMUS:


Oh, welcome back, Kei. Hope you recover fast from the jetlag and all.


*infiltrating the cardboard boxes*

You can infiltrate those all you want. They're empty.

Hey Kei. Glad to see you're back. :) A lot of things has happened so I bet you have a lot of catching up to do.
Hey! Val got his Avatar back. :D

Well I think is interesting. As part of their Future Soldier Program, the Advanced Combat Infantry Equipment System, the JSDF are modernizing their Howa Type 89 service rifles.


As part of the improvements, the modernized rifles have a full length top rail on their receivers, replacing the stock fixed iron sights and allowing for easy attachment of optics like back up irons. The barrel has been shortened to a carbine length of 14 inches/35.5 cms, from the original 16.5 inch/42 cm.

Of course, the most notable improvement is the installation of Bushmaster ACR style folding stocks. Whether these are simply replicating the design or licensed is yet to be known but certainly an improvement to their original solid stock. Finally, the proprietary rails of the rifle allow for control of electronics through the foregrip. Ideally, it's used between the proprietary scope and foregrip to switch between day and night sight.

IMO, this is awesome that Japan is advancing it's military technology especially with what's been going on. What I also find interesting about the Type 89 is that it's probably the only rifle still in service that is a licensed AR-18, not a clone/copy or based on the design. I'd love to see more modernisations of other military service rifles out there but we'll most likely only see more and more countries replace their native weapons for a common platform like the AR-15 or Kalashnikov, in a way this is where the Cold War's legacy continues on in our times.

Interesting stuff, Val. And yes, definitely love to see some more modernization happening.

But that be a pretty bulky scope, personally, I don't really see eye to eye with these people developing the Future Soldier Systems. Most of the ones I've seen look like they tried to slap as much electronics and armor on the poor sod he'd probably fry a lake if he went in it and then drown.

Probably a reason why most of these programs haven't seen the light of day.
