Hello /k/, I'm a French tank commander, and I figured I could do an informative thread about the Leclerc. Feel free to ask any questions.

Let's start with the basics : last one of the major western MBTs, the Leclerc is about 10 years younger than the Abrams/Leo 2. It progressively replaced the AMX 30 B2 during the 90's. Right now we're supposed to have 240 of them, in 4 regiments (mine's the 4th Dragoons).
The crew of four is comprised of the driver, the turret operator (gunner), the tank commander and the fucking computer voice that tells us when stuff doesn't work (female voice in the latest version. Fuck her.). So yeah, there's an autoloader, with 22 rounds in the back of the turret, plus 18 in a sort of barrel (like a revolver. Kinda) next to the driver. The gunner is supposed to retrieve them manually, but i don't know anyone who's ever done it.

>can only buy .22lr rifles or pistols.
>anything else is a pain in the ass to buy.

Is a semi automatic .22lr rifle suitable for home defense? I checked some videos and it seems that it can shoot pretty quickly.

Thinking of getting a 10/22 with a 20 round magazine and lots of ammo.

Pic related, something that I can't buy.

I wish there was a righteous war. I don't necessarily mean black versus white, as it is arguable that such a one has ever existed (yes, even the Second World War as we're not taking into account what was found out after the end). I mean something so simple as my king or country versus that king or country, on purely honorary or territorial grounds, ignoring whether or not my king or country was the offender or aggressor. I'd gladly serve in such a war.

The type in my mind are the ones that were often fought during the Middle Ages between Christian kings (but in modern warfare), up to about the Reformation, after which certain values were imbued and warring were more over such things. They were... clean, in a way. I guess today people would see them as extremely pointless. But they weren't full of hate, all-encompassing, or over abstractions. What have we got today? Getting sent half-way across the world of international geopolitical goals, fighting for pop-culture epicenter America's Freedom by killing Afghani farmers... Eh... What do you think?

If you can't kill a home invader with 10 shots, you need to go back to the local shooting range.

large capacity firearms are not necessary for protection.

Why so gun-ho on sticking with an expensive hobby? Are gun-enthusiasts really so culturally brainwashed to see that America is an extremely violent country, and that this culture of violence is exacerbated by the private ownership of firearms?

Pedo anime?
Lots of scurry black guns?
In a school?
Elementary school kids with mp5s?
Sexual bs thrown in?
Srsly i think this gets posted BY gun grabbers to make us look more degenerate. "child porn" is a favorite tactic even if it is untrue...
Im just saying if you want this go to another board. If you see this drive it out this is not the time for this bullshit

Everyone on earth is killed except for the people who have been on 4chan in the last 2 weeks.
You are given the choice to go or kill yourself. Or in 10 minutes you are teleported to a tropical island populated by the other people of the board you frequent most often. You can't take anything with you.
Other 4channers are alive and on different places of the archipelago.
The atmosphere is pristine and no resources have been depleted. The flora and fauna are Earthlike, with the exception that major extinctions have not happened and no plants or animals are domesticated. Raptors inhabit all of the islands.
Moot is dead, and we don't have means of communicating with other islands.

*note: I changed some things from the original idea to make it more interesting (you can't take anything with you and no boats anymore)

What would we do? What would our strategy be?

You're gonna carry that weight.
