Where's the jump belt and metascope?

>>63889681
Russia is winning while not having most of these.

>>63889676 (OP)

I fucking hate that rifle with all my heart.

>>63889686
1217 days of winning in 3 days war?

>>63889676 (OP)
>raughs in Vietnamese

>>63889699
Yes, it doesn't matter how many days, when every day is a win.

>>63889704

>>63889696
Based and factually correct opinion.

>>63889696
Based. Its always been trash and that will never change.

>>63889681
>bro, I need 100 pounds of extra gear or ILL FUCKING DIE.

>>63889696
Me too, and I wanted to like it

>>63889676 (OP)
Nigga gonna die in less than 36 hour in that getup if he's going innawoods

Learn from the niggas who actually operated innawoods

Yes

Yes, the soldiers with that kit lost their war. Simple as.

>>63889750
The only thing that is an actual improvement from>>63889676 (OP) is the rifle

>>63889676 (OP)
Small arms may not win wars but they do lose firefights. The M14 was known for losing firefights to the AK47.

>>63889742
>Soviet-Afghan war
>9511 Soviet dead over ten years
>War in Afghanistan
>2420 US dead over twenty years
100 pounds of extra gear clearly helps with not dying.

>>63889832
I imagine half of the russians died due to buttsex

>>63889811
Bruh even FAL is known to lose fight to AK-47 especially in absence of heavy equipment to overcompensate

That's how nepal and indian forces gets found outz when government troops, armed with eclectic mix of ishapore SMLE conversion, L1 SLR and even insas get smoked by maoists and naxalites armed with AKs

>>63889848
definitely a nonzero amount

>>63889676 (OP)
He looks like a cucumber

>>63889848
Aids was a thing by then so probably an amount did

>>63889855
>weapon bad because Indians using them lost
Hardly scientific.

>>63889696
its only good for looks but thats mainly because it reminds me the Garand (my beloved)

>>63889676 (OP)
No canteens. This man is already dead.

>>63889676 (OP)
Of course
The M14 needs to be replaced with an AR-15 or similar, and the outdated fatigues to be replaced with modern iterations for any situation

>>63889696
I hate more the fact that moden quality repros cost $4000

>>63890006
The originals were stupidly expensive to manufacture too.
Winchester and H&R both lost money on every single rifle they made.
The price per rifle they offered to the government was based on Rock Island's estimated production cost, which turned out to be waaaaay lower than the actual production cost.
Getting the rifles to actually work also turned out to be more complicated than just manufacturing them to government specs, both Winchester and H&R struggled to meet the quality control and accuracy standards.

>>63889700
>dies en masse chink style
>loses war and resumes war when Americans leave

>>63889906
The only thing it has in common with the garand is wood. If you want a proper select fire garand then the Itals have got you covered!

>>63889719
everyday a 1000 russians die is a win for the rest of europe

>>63889848
These would fall under died from wounds or diseases.

>>63890087
Can't fucking argue with that lol

>>63889686
>Russia is winning
what you're actually saying Russia has been unable to win

>>63890269
>unable to win
How's the copefensyiv coming along? Reached Moscow yet?

The fact that the entirety of the West has been unable to defeat Russia for three years now tells me they're winning.

>>63890278
>winning
literally hasn't won

>>63890278
>entirety of the west
Ukraine is running on less than bezos net worth and holding the line. The fact that you're coping about the "worlds second army" not yet losing moscow in a war that was supposed to look like desert storm is more than enough to tell you how bad its going for russia.

>>63890294
>>63890310
To be honest I've been memeing all this time.

TZD.

>>63890354
its kinda obvious but I wasn't in the mood for calling you names

>>63889686
Trading serfmeat for land sure is something, but I’d imagine to the mobiks who are doing all the suffering and dying in the mud, it feels less like ‘victory.’
For those poor souls, the only victory is death which means permanent rest from the overwhelming pain and horror of being a Russian soldier.

>>63889676 (OP)
Is this a fucking costume picture from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

>>63889681
Lmao why would you bring plates to war. What are you gonna do? Have a nice romantic dinner out there?

>if the anons in this thread
>spent one day hiking in a tropical environment during the summer
>spent one day shooting an fal m1a and an akm side by side
>we wouldn't have these threads
Thats it, that's all it would take for you all to learn what jungle fighters have known forever.
>b-b-but muh serous scouts!
They carried fals because that's what they had access to. Along with the ammo and spare parts. The tropics are awful. Spend one day in it and you would be packing the lightest kit you could possibly manage.

>>63890534

It's fucking costume picture from US army

At least he has a CIB

>>63890979
Okay Boomer.

>>63890278
>copefensyiv
Nigger Russia had 3 or 4 failed offensives since the last Ukrainian one, get some new material

>>63890597
Theres also a world of difference between medium altitude dry savanna and lowland tropical rainforest, Zimbabwe actually has a pretty comfy climate due to the elevation

>>63890979
I can tell you grew up with a shitty father

>>63889750
They have the exact same equipment (in terms of capability). I'm confused.

>>63891152

Many such cases.

>>63889676 (OP)
>no chest plate
Retards literally went into combat with the only "protection" being a shitty helmet that bounced shrapnel and pistol rounds.
And they didn't question why they are completely naked otherwise.
Hey at least air crew started getting flak jackets in WW2 and only after a bunch of idiots were turned into swiss cheese for no reason whatsoever except cost savings.
Anyone that was sent into battle before plate carriers became the norm was a sacrificial cattle lmao

>>63891553
You're a dumb gay retard.

>>63889676 (OP)
For base security, maybe
For actually fighting a war, fuck no

>>63889676 (OP)
Yes, at a minimum I need a rifle that isn't outdated trash that was obsolete before it was even introduced and that was so poorly received we couldn't even give them away to third world shitholes.

>>63889932

Ahead of it's time.

It's 1 guy samefagging himself for (you)s, it's that pathetic.

>>63890098
>died from wounds in the ass
fixed

>>63889686
I'm sure that makes the suicide chargers that are sent forward without body armor or NVGs to make the Ukrainians waste all their ammo so the well-equipped troops in the back can make it to the trench line feel much better.

>>63891336
Are you crying rn?

>>63889686
Quality bait

>>63889681
Just soldiers enjoying the moment

>>63889676 (OP)
how long would he last on a modern battlefield?

FLC is the best loadbearingrig that exists or has existed or will ever exist.

>>63892536
>how long would he last on a modern battlefield?
About as long as the average Russian conscript if his gear is any indicator.

>>63889904
LOL

>>63890068
america did not win the war at any point, it was a massive fuckup (thanks westy) from the start, and we accomplished nothing but turning killing a bunch of rice farmers and turning a lot of trees to toothpicks until the nixon admin did the only sensible thing they ever did and pulled us out of that mess. at that point, it was just about costing the chinese and soviets.

>>63892978
The U.S. could've cut off the Ho Chi Minh trail to the South in Laos after the Tet Offensive obliterated the NVA. The VC were largely a meme, the NVA regulars just put on black pjs to move around in the South freely.
The NVA was cowering waiting for the blow to fall on Tchepone, severing their supply line forever. The U.S. leadership was worried about provoking China, and wussed out. The blow never came.
The rest of the war, the U.S. would send ineffective bombing runs and small MAC-V teams on basically suicide missions to try to stem the flow.
Even after the U.S. decapitated the Southern leadership and pulled out ground troops, the South was able to hold off the North with U.S. air support. When Nixon ordered the U.S. air support to stand in on the last offensive, that's what caused the South to fall.

>>63890923
Hold your food in your hands. Thought as much that a retarded platefag wouldn't understand such a simple concept

>>63889696
First gun I ever shot and I hate it too. FAL and G3 are so much better. What the fuck were the burgers thinking when they accepted that pos into service? At least they made up for it with the M16

>>63889811
How can it lose to something that didn't exist in the conflict?
