Pump action 12s are retard proof so would a 40

True

Shotgun maintenance: spray with wd40 and hit with hammer

Didnt seal teams in vietnam carry something similar?

China lakes

Oh right

Seals aren't standard forces though, even then they carried china lakes.

Most normal troops won't get issued this shit or given the chance will dump any optional weight. Same logic with pistols, etc.

Did the Chinalake have a reliability issue or was it just the weight as well?

I can’t remember the details of it

Weren’t many of them made

I don't know, it is before my time

I shall wiki

Weight

It is a biggun

M32 is big dead weight too though

Even small pistols get heavy after rucking for a bit

People continously underestimate weight

That’s true.

The only reason vets even talk about weight is because their unlucky asses had to carry it. It's not something they factor in either, until they learn the hard way.

Even like the extra 5 inches on a modern Picatinny rail make it super heavy compared to a block1 7” rail after a little while

So especially unconsidered in regards to most /k/ dudes

"oh it's only x pounds" they say confidently as they heft in in /k/ related, not considering that if boogaloo happens, their bugout bag, their rifle, entire kit and battle rattle plus supplies will be damn near back breaking

And unless they're driving they gotta hump it or dump it

True true

Even towels get heavy, get a few towel rolls, canteens, and canteen cups alongside your backup clothes and that's not even your real kit and a backpack can get decently hefty

My long range recon guns are light as possible

Idealy if happening happens I'll have a fob to work from so I can stick to light recon kit

Total kit is maybe 30 pounds

You're not most /k/, you used your brain to plan it out instead of memeing or gun lore

Just picked up some sandbags for fortifying up

5 bucks gets you 60 pounds of the stuff

Get it nice and wet then fill the bags

Fuck sakes I can’t wait till the snow melts. I wanna stuff my pack with all my stuff and head up north

Or south into North Dakota. But then I couldn’t be armed I imagine

You can easily be armed lmao

The dakotas aren't known for heavy law enforcement

Can a foreigner obtain a firearms legally there?

I’d love to move about an hour and a half south and obtain US citizenship. I imagine it would be much the same but with more pew

Once you get citizenship sure

Find an American grill to marry
