Mysterious detonation near Votkinsk plant in Russia

No.60879232 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
Previous thread got nuked for some reason but I'd like to ask /k/ what weapon they believe could be responsible for this blast, vidrel.
More links with sound:

What's confusing me is the sheer brightness of the blast which lasts, in the second video, for at least 25-30 seconds; the man in the second video also seems audibly terrified, which is unusual for russians. Any thoughts on what the source of this explosion could be in terms of weapons are welcome!

Has there ever been a more badass marine?

>Decides to leave because of the poor state of the US miitary, no action when ISIS are fucking shit up
>Joins the YPG and fucks up ISIS
>Does a second tour
>Goes to Ukraine to fight Ruzzian orks, serves in Bakhmut which was pretty much Modern stalingrad

He says once he gets his fitness back up he's planning to go back to Ukraine because his skills are needed around the new front at Adviika

Are bolt action rifle a great way to force the soldiers to save ammo?

No.60790136 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
If you give a soldier a rifle that can go full auto, he can spend all his ammo in 10 seconds.

If you give a soldier a bolt action rifle, he will carefully place his shots.

So, was the WW2 german doctrine to make most of the soldiers a sharp shooter?

Hi /k/. Noguns here. Not a /k/ommando or a guns guy at all really, although I do strongly support 2a and all our rights.

I want to buy a first gun. I think I'll get an inexpensive 22lr pistol because cheap rounds for target shooting and I'm a bit of a poorfag.

I'm aware that 22s are less than ideal for stopping an upstanding African-American student who may be attempting to steal from you to afford books for class.
My question for you is this- would a 22lr hollow point do some damage, even though they're small? Are 22s being equivalent to a bb just a meme? Are there any other styles of 22 that might be more lethal?

Thank you in advance

tl;dr noguns, can i kill marauding nigs with a 22? how bout a hollow point? ty

I think it's safe to say 5.7 is no longer a meme round.

>5.56 is a retarded choice for SHTF. Its only better than full power cartridge's when you need to suppress someone with overwhelming fire. Otherwise within realistic gun fights youll never use enough ammo at once to make carrying a few less rounds matter and full power rounds are better at literally everything

>Minmaxing your guns like a faggot does literally nothing. Guns are tools, youre the weapon. Dont buy shit gear like a poorfag but dont think expensive gear will make the difference in a shitty situation.

>If youre going to use a 5.56 You should either stick with a red dot or a red dot with a magnifier. Unless youre running a 16" barrel or longer youll have so little energy at long ranges it makes the extra weight of an LPVO worthless.

>If youre using a 308 its generally best to use a 4x or higher magnification scope with maybe an offset red dot.
