Yup. My first Evil Black Rifle was a Bushmaster M4gery with a pinned on muzzle break and fixed M4 style stock. It was louder than my .30-06 hunting rifle. I'm glad those stupid days are gone.

The boomerang. Essentially a guided missile invented by a peoples who didn't have archery. It has an effective range of north of 200 meters, and has laser point accuracy when shaped properly and thrown by someone who knows what they're doing. Ones used for hunting land prey like kangaroos and emus were designed to fly at flat and level as possible, with the intention of breaking their legs/neck upon impact. Ones used to pluck birds out of the air are where the returning ones originate.
They weren't normally designed for combat, but they are effective weapons. A rapidly spinning hunk of sharp wood closing in on your skull at 100kmh will do serious damage, if not outright kill you. Break your legs. Shatter your ribcage. And in close quarters they make for excellent clubs. Bust someone's cranium open like an egg. In an era of throwing sticks and rocks, the boomerang is a sniper rifle.

Um. Let's talk about logistics. Yes, it is the most boring (and perhaps the most autistic thing to do) in war but it's entirely necessary. So, now let's be specific. Let's talk about the future of logistics!
You've probably all seen Bigdog by now, but this is his older brother. This was a Corps effort, so you know how it works: it should either succeed spectacularly or fail miserably, but provide a few lessons. The Legged Squad Support probably won't replace a legged packhorse, but it does teach the Corps about how useful robotics is.

Patas are really cool. They're essentially sword gauntlets.
Kampilans are cool as well

I'm well on my way to having my Mk14 finished. I've got the complete barreled action for it, the trigger group came for it this week, I've got the front sight and gas cylinder lock/front sight mount on it'd way, and I received an email from Sage letting me know my EBR chassis has been shipped and should be here next week. The only thing I need to order is the Surefire SOCOM flash suppressor, which I'll be ordering on Wednesday when my paycheck posts to my bank account. Then it'll at least be put together and the only things left will be optics and other accessories to buy for it.
After that I just have an STI Perfect Ten 10mm pistol and a concealed carry gun, probably a Heckler and Koch USP 45 Tactical or HK45C Tactical, and my gun collection will be where I want it before I buy a house.
I've also found a couple of places where you can buy custom Japanese swords where you get to pick out the fittings you want to be put on, everything from the guard to the scabbard to the color and material of your hilt wrap. Mostly it's just Katana, but I've found one place that does custom Nodachi and Nagamaki, which are much larger swords than the Katana and my personal favorite type of Japanese blades. You can also choose from different blade steels and have them folded and tempered in the traditional manner. I think I'll go with a Nagamaki and I want to have leather for the hilt wrap. Haven't decided what color it will be.
The Nagamaki has a blade slightly longer than a Katana, but the blade is much beefier and the hilt is over twice as long as a normal Katana. Typically the blade and hilt of a Nagamaki are roughly the same length. These were field swords used by warriors who were on foot and we're designed to allow them to fight a warrior who was on horseback. Think of it as a cross between a sword and a polearm like a speer, halberd or glaive. They required a different fighting style than the Katana, meshing the fighting style of a sword with that of a polearm. You don't often see them for sale because the Katana is a much more popular weapon and gets much more attention in pop culture.

Is this thread still a thing? I want to pick up a Glock, but I'm unsure what model. Leaning towards the 30 gen 4. What do you guys think?
Also I'm currently building an AR pistol and really want to get a Mossberg 590 Shockwave...
edit: also I have a few nice knives, Benchmade and Spyderco mostly. I had a few Microtechs but fuck them.

I was thinking of collecting large knives like Bolos, Seaxes and Sami Knives, but I'd need to have cash in order to do so.

Definitely make sure to shoot a 30 before you buy one. I had a 21 and the grip was so big and square that it just wasn't comfortable to shoot, I couldn't imagine a stubby version being any better. If you have to get a .45 Glock for carry use I'd look hard at the 36, that seems like a winner.

If you want to get into some large knives I can help you with finding some quality blades for reasonable prices. I know of several decent production knife companies and I'm friends with a few custom knife makers and can find you something to fit nearly any price range. I've got a friend of mine currently making me a reproduction of the big Bowie/machete from the Predator film that was designed by Jack Crain. Hit me up if you're interested and I can start looking around for you.
