/k/ - Weapons

What are some milsurp guns that an Australian has relatively easy access to? I'd guess it'd be a lot of SMLE .303, but is there a large market of surplus rifles in Aus?

>look up Hungry Jack's because very similar to Burger King logo

>it's owned by Burger King

But is it as shit as Burger Kings in Burgermerica?

>>682906

Most of the time, yes.

They have the chance to be way better and imo have better burgers than McD's in ingredients, but most of the time it's standard teenagers working fast food-tier garbage.

There are independent servers that doesn't ban the specific IPs. Vodafone and other companies banned 8ch. Yes, it is legal for them to control the dns things. Aussies don't give a fuck about that and simply switched their IP or use the proxies to bypass the specific bans. It is a good thing that the Aussies are incredibly cynical towards the politicans and other bullshits so because of that the laws cannot be enforced 24/7.

Yep. Monopoly on the use of force. Of course, it also means you have a disarmed & totally pacified population that's increasing disconnected from the armed State, that's going to be completely vulnerable to being overrun by numerically superior enemies (like, say China). The Swiss model, or the classic burger model of "Actually encourage gun ownership & training, and just don't fuck with your population so much they kill you" are really the better way to go.

>>682947

Yeah, on a VPN right now. Sadly, the cynicism & mistrust is matched by general apathy and bogan degeneracy, so shit continues to get worse.

>>681406

All the criminals here have guns, libtards are absolutely retarded. Mainly shitty Chinese SKS for raifus, or similarly shitty shotfuns that were either imported along with the metric fuckton of drugs Australia has at any moment. Don't mistake the shitposters you see online as representing the average Strayan, only the eternal bongs exceed them for sheer nanny-state cheering, mass media brainwashed cuckery.

>>683111 (nice)

>No.1 Mk.III and No.4 Enfields are common, Mausers (in 8mm and 7.62 NATO) less so

I would have guessed that the MkIII would be popular. How about other rifles? Can you import second hand rifles that you buy from, say a dealer in the US into Aus if you get the right documentation and certification that the rifles you buy can be proven to be compliant with whatever Category the rifle is in?

>though there are probably a shitload of SLRs (FN FAL) and SKS buried in PVC since the 90's

I'm sure I'll get superinflated prices but how do I get in contact with these people? Spoilered so we can talk without ASIO and the AFP snooping in :^).

>>683167

You need to be a holder of a cat. B license and show a genuine need or reason for a center fire rifle like for instance a mauser 1896 model in 5.56 which you may import thru an appropriately licensed dealer..

As for obtaining a cat. C or D SLR, unless you are a contracted pig/dog hunter involved in an authorised eradication project then you would simply have no need for such a firearm. Trying to get "hooked up" with a pre-ban SKS on /k/ is not very smart. Long prison terms and hefty fines are the penaty for anyone who breaks our firearms licensing laws in this regard. We take any attempts to circumvent the gun registry very seriously.

>Greens are upset that Queenslanders don't care about them.

Lol…..they bashed them and they are shocked aftertoward. Where is their brains? Bashing Qlders will not earn them more votes. Fucking idiots I am telling you dudes.

That's quite nice; you can't get individual importation of guns here, and all gun importation here has about 6 to 8 reviews by various ministries and agencies. It takes literal months to just get a green light.

Ah, it's the same here, no matter. Thanks anyways.

No idea. Maybe there's just lower tech literacy in Italy, or just lower interest in incurring their governments wrath for the sake of shitposting. Strayans can't resist it though, and will continue to shitpost up to and beyond our inevitable arrests for wasting a massive fuckton of ASIOs time in monitoring us larping as NeetSoc Islamist BLM NazBol traps and such.

>>682166

Why the fuck was 8chan banned from aussie land? And why was it banned in Italy? Is it banned in russia too? Why? Why does the world have to end right when I come into it?

>>684203

So it was banned as a pr move by telecoms in Australia, banned in Italy for the non-existent CP, and banned in Russia since its one step down from china authoritarian shitfucks? My earlier question said it best, how the fuck did I get this unlucky? I'm in what might very be the last age of my people for what purpose? What am I supposed to do now?

I don't even know where to start

>>684206

Russia was pissed off at furry shit on the site if I recall or was it gay stuff, been too long.

>>684210

>following a filthy muzzie

For what purpose?

>>684234

The problem being I don't think any of those women he shot were feminist given it was an engineering class of all things. Where as Breivik removed confirmed commie scum, in particular their malformed redditor kids. decent guy, used to write to me before the prison started burning his in and outbound mail.

>>684240

>women in college

>I don't think any of those women he shot were feminist

Yeah, I'm doubting that one

>>684228

>>684206

Russia b& 8gag because of people mocking pooty poot, bestiality is just their cover excuse, even though this site had that kind of shit for about three years before Vlad decided all the bants hurt his feelings a little too much sometime in late 2016/early 2017

>>684240

Do they burn all of his mail, or just the stuff they know is from ebil nadsees?

Because you can come up with ways to disguise your messages if that's the case

>>684186

The shitposters must hated ASIO a lot so they wasted their times as if they are toy for the whale killers play with.

>>681400

How many guns can the Banana benders own?

>>684248

Hes been complaining that he isn't getting any of his mail and nothing he sends actually gets anywhere.

>>684278

Chargers are just standard 10/22's with a short barrel and pistol grip. They'll take anything that a normal 10/22 can if I recall.

>>684278

Nah, I can't access 8ch at all bareback, even with changing the DNS. Cuckchan works (I only tried it out of interest, I swear).

I'm in Australia, I can see the site and post, but all the images are broken and the pdf links are dead. I think Media8ch is blocked for us. Anyone got a workaround?

>>685191

There's something fucky with the images right now for everyone I think (at least I'm also having trouble loading images), cuckmonkey probably broke something again.

>>685191

Just VPN or TOR m8.

aren't you guys using the onion site?

>>685721

I tried to use it earlier and I'm trying to use it now without any results, I don't think it's up

I get this

http://blockedsite.wbroadband.net.au/

If I try this:

media.8ch.net

FFF even the little flags on the names are gone for me.

Australian Defence Force has grounded its entire fleet of 47 Airbus MRH 90 Taipan helicopters following a recent precautionary landing caused by a tail rotor vibration.

News of the grounding was first reported by The Canberra Times on Wednesday.

The report said an Australian Army MRH 90 was flying from the LHD HMAS Adelaide off the Queensland coast to Brisbane recently when it experienced the vibration, causing it to make a precautionary return to the ship.

“The aircraft captain aborted the mission and returned to HMAS Adelaide for a precautionary landing,” the report said, quoting a Defence spokesman. “No personnel were injured during the incident.”

“While the investigation is underway, the ADF has ceased all MRH-90 flying pending further technical investigation and advice.”

The Navy operates six MRH 90s from the ADF’s larger pool, and regularly rotates aircraft back through the pool for periodical maintenance, most of which is conducted by Airbus at Brisbane Airport or a combined Airbus and Army team at Townsville.

The aircraft are operated by Navy’s 808SQN at Nowra, and Australian Army’s A and B SQNs of 5 Aviation Regiment (5Avn) at Townsville.

The grounding follows an ABC report in June which revealed Project AIR 9000 Phases 2, 4 and 6 which resulted in the acquisition of the MRH 90 in three batches to initially complement and ultimately replace Army’s S-70A-9 Black Hawk and Navy’s Sea King helicopters, remained on the federal government’s Projects of Concern list.

The MRH 90 was originally scheduled to have been declared fully operational (FOC) in 2014, a milestone which, despite improvements in aircraft availability and sustainment in recent years, is still yet to be formally achieved. As a result, Army has been forced to retain about a dozen Black Hawks for the special operations support role some five years beyond their originally planned retirement. The grounding will likely have a significant effect on the ADF’s ability to provide airborne assault and logistics support to the multi-national Exercise Talisman Sabre currently underway off central Queensland.

Why do you cuckolds even have a military? I thought getting invaded was kinda your thing.

>>687296

Shouldn't you be getting flooded right now Bangladesh?

Question: I know we can't have body armor, because legally the cops have to be able to shoot us at any time or something, but what about other SHTF kit? Can we have NBC suits for example? What other essential gear are we cucked out of for no good reason?

>>687379

Now that you've mentioned body armor, I've got a stupid idea. What if someone decided to make a shooting steel spinner with said armor coating and all, don't want random bullet fragments wandering around the range and all you had to do was cut it off.

>the cops have to be able to shoot us at any time or something

Criminals are able to shoot at the cilivans with no problems just like the cops.

Steyr rifle is not suitable for stressful situation.

A member of the elite Special Air Service Regiment says the main rifle used by the Australian army is unsuited for modern combat and could put a soldier in danger.

The soldier, who says he has spent 20 years in the SAS and is on his eighth tour of Afghanistan, says the Steyr rifle is awkward to use when wearing some body armour, has sight problems and is difficult to reload or unblock when under stress. The anonymous special forces warrant officer has a long article on the rifles in this month's edition of the Australian military magazine Contact.

In it, he argues the Steyr should be dumped as the military's main battle weapon. "The Steyr requires a more difficult magazine change under stress as well as diverting the operator's eyes for a longer period while reloading, taking away valuable awareness of what is happening around him," he says.

"The size of the butt on the Steyr is not conducive to good weapon placement into the shoulder, especially with body armour. This affects sight alignment, eye relief, cheek weld and a stable firing position with the weapon in the shoulder."

He warns the rifle, which most Australian troops in Afghanistan use, cannot be switched between the right and left hands easily, which could put a soldier at risk in close combat situations.

"There are a raft of other reasons, however, I will leave it there," he said. "But our soldiers, particularly our infantry, could be far better served with a new, improved, personal primary weapon system."

The Steyr's suitability has been debated fiercely within the Australian Defence Force since its introduction in the mid-1980s and many soldiers have long argued the weapon is too fragile and prone to accidental discharges because of its trigger design.

Australian special forces such as the SAS and commandos refuse to use the Steyr and use the M4 - the rifle of choice for the US Army. The Defence Department has begun a study to replace the Steyr but has not set a date for it to be phased out.

When SAS trooper Ben Roberts-Smith won his Victoria Cross last year, he used a special variant of the Vietnam era M14 rifle to take out a Taliban machinegun nest and attack a compound. The M14 fires a heavier bullet and Afghan veterans say a heavier bullet is more use against a fanatical enemy because of its greater stopping power.
