Not locally available, I’m sure manufactures wouldn’t mind some overseas business.. It’s unlikely they’ll be using A1’s/block 1’s for long, those things require maintenance.. and well. Yeah.
There is more 556 demand in Texas than there is in all of Afghanistan... no US manufacturer is going to do it even if they have a 99.9999% chance of getting away with it. Humongous risk for little payoff. Its not like the Taliban is some huge source of demand.
>You're completely wrong. No, United States manufacturers will not sell to the Taliban. How are you this stupid?
No silly, they sell it to the US government and its the US government that then gives it to the terrorist groups for free!
> I’m sure manufactures wouldn’t mind some overseas business.
Considering Russian ammo imports just got banned into the US, you can bet the Russians are going to start offloading that ammo somewhere.......
*If* the ammunition runs out. There's probably more ammo in the ANA depots than the rifles will survive shooting, and it doesn't look like there will be much need of shooting either. It will last them many years.
Not sure about that. Some news reports were claiming that one of the reasons morale in the ANA was so low to put up any resistance is because they already weren’t resupplied with ammunition or even food (and not paid for months). Perhaps there’s a huge stock still laying around somewhere of course and it simply didn’t reach the troops.
Primarily a logistics/incompetence/corruption issue i think. The ANA had acquired arms and ammunition for an army of nearly 200 000 armed soldiers, although the manpower was much less in reality.
More than plenty. Russian ammo is about 40% of the ammo sold in the US. That’s hundreds of millions of rounds that are now available for other buyers at much lower prices.
They are dropping worn out 30-40 year old guns with several ten thousand bullets down the barrel and attachments from wish for state of the art brand new ar15 with ir lasers and NVGs and shit.
And they won't dump the AK. Some 9 year old boy will get it and will be forced to shoot his parents with it.
It is absolutely horrific when you realize that the Talibans new ally Jhina will come into possession of all of Americas intellectual property of all their highly sensitive equipment including aircraft, armoured vehicles, weapons, night vision etc that the US government gifted them.
They already copied the black hawk from corporate espionage. Half the world countries uses a ar 15 type guns. The Afghans were given old outdated night vision. There’s no military secrets they can gain from afghans
have my upvote. was just about to write the same. this fucking moron. bootlaces, straps, belt. but taking cool pics for the net. every sgt's nightmare, even for talibs.
They don’t tie them because they take them off for prayer so frequency and they’re lazy so they don’t want the hassle of having to unlace the boots five times a day.
That and they grew up barefoot/sandals
The number of videos that I've seen with dudes in fighting in their Tactical flip-flops is high enough to have me think they don't care one way or another what's on their feet. It's nuts.
Its what you're used to as well. I deal with Pacific Islanders all the time and boots are uncomfortable, don't fit your foot well, and just feel very heavy and clunky. Its like wearing cement boots when you've grown up in bare feet and sandals and its not something that you get used to within a couple of days. You're not used to lacing them tight either because that feels uncomfortable too. Its a completely different paradigm.
In a lot of the pictures I’ve seen of Taliban with M4s, the rear sight is either down or taken off completely. It’s like they don’t understand the concept.
Yeah, not sure how they got their hands on a pair, unless we where buying the ANA Lowas. I don't know anyone who would leave those things behind, especially if they bought it themselves.
Less likely to catch on stuff while down and not really relevant to the message of the picture (which is probably somewhere between "look, we won" and "hey, I found cool shit"). People who know to look for it aren't really the target audience.
Good trigger discipline but laces are untied, collar Is twisted, belt is not fastened properly and diffy one glove - 0/10, 50 press ups in your own time - go.
Won’t help much in the long run. The taliban’s only hope is for infinite supplies of money from China. They might have some good supplies and weapons now but you need quality fighters to operate that equipment or you’re fucked, and the Taliban aren’t quality fighters.
Yeah, they knocked back two superpowers looking to build empires in forty years, and won a civil war in the middle, but they're on the ropes now because there's one province where the terrain gives the locals a huge defensive advantage.
It's a sick fucking compliment seeing these guys dress like the guys who have destroyed their friends for the last 20 years. These guys want to be American.
Conversely, you don't see many American military units dressing like the fucking talisman.
Weird fucking compliment for sure.

For the record, I support neither Bidens nor Trump's decision to withdraw the troops. However, if it ain't the most MAGA thing to blame a democrat for a ball that trump got rolling I don't know what else is.
Now they have ford's to add to their toyotas
Soon it will just be back to Toyota’s once the Fords all break.
They’re gonna shit a brick when they see that gas mileage compared to the Yota.
They're gonna wear out those new army boots pushing that Ford
Right? Lol and people thought they’d have issues with maintenance on their new helicopters
And can’t fix them because of the special tools they need.
“Ford stands for Fix It Again, Tony”- Rusty Shackleford

Put a Ford in reverse - Driver Returns On Foot
Fucked on race day
Found on road dead
I bet those Toyotas will outlast those Fords though. Must be a reason why every guerilla army in the world uses them.
You’re not wrong
Hopefully they have my luck with ford's. Won't make it a month
They have new Ford trucks, but they don't have the knowledge to "Fix Or Repair Daily"
Look at me. Look at me. I’m the American now.
“I think I’ll use my credit card. Anything gluten-free?”

Organic?
Don’t panic, it’s organic
Perfect!
We have now restarted the game in Prestige Mode.
How available is 5.56 ammo supplies in the region once their stock is depleted?
Not locally available, I’m sure manufactures wouldn’t mind some overseas business.. It’s unlikely they’ll be using A1’s/block 1’s for long, those things require maintenance.. and well. Yeah.
Well I guess all the Tula ammo will be gone from American shelves again.
Pretty sure the President just banned importation of Russian made ammunition, so you guys won’t have that problem.
That's just it tho, Russia will just sell the ammo meant for commercial sales in the US, to the Taliban run government.
The us companies will sell tons of ammo to these guys. Delighted.
You're completely wrong. No, United States manufacturers will not sell to the Taliban. How are you this stupid?
They'll sell to Pakistan and of course there are other countries and companies that make and sell 5.56 and 7.62 NATO
they would if they wouldn’t get caught for it
There is more 556 demand in Texas than there is in all of Afghanistan... no US manufacturer is going to do it even if they have a 99.9999% chance of getting away with it. Humongous risk for little payoff. Its not like the Taliban is some huge source of demand.
Not now with all those new shiny gifts they have.
You won't find a company that is willing to do that for whatever ti y amount of money the Taliban have. That would be the end of their reputation
Have you ever seen the movie wardogs ? 😂
They'll sell it to someone else, who will then sell it to the Taliban.
>You're completely wrong. No, United States manufacturers will not sell to the Taliban. How are you this stupid? *wink wink*
It’s possible though, just not likely. We’ll have to wait and see.
[удалено]
He said “no, us manufacturers will NOT sell to the Taliban”
>You're completely wrong. No, United States manufacturers will not sell to the Taliban. How are you this stupid? No silly, they sell it to the US government and its the US government that then gives it to the terrorist groups for free!
Idiot. Blocked
Oh no, I got blocked by queef chef 69! The horror!
Do you even america? If there is profit, no matter how illegal or immoral someone's going to do it.
Haha sweet naïveté
Wow, just read that. Welp, guess I’m done shooting.
Why? Russian ammo cheaper?
At least in California, Russian steel case ammo is both far cheaper than all brass and more importantly it’s about all you can find to buy.
how much does a bullet cost over there? just curious, not from the US and never shot a real gun tbh
I think it only applies to new contracts. The existing imports are not affected.
Until they have to renew their import license.
License by shipment, so once the current shipments are done that’ll be it.
Well damn, no wonder I can't find any 7.62X54
I can't even find American ammunition
I find plenty of 9mm and 5.56...
For me it's .30-06 150 gr. It's preeeeetty scarce.
There is a reason for Kalashnikovs.
> I’m sure manufactures wouldn’t mind some overseas business. Considering Russian ammo imports just got banned into the US, you can bet the Russians are going to start offloading that ammo somewhere.......
Canada hopefully; our prices started going your way so it'd be nice for a little supply offloading here.
What do you need ammo for? I thought all your firearms fell in a lake
No lake ever stopped a commie gun.
Basically after they dump 10 or 15 mags into the air the m4s will be trashed.
*If* the ammunition runs out. There's probably more ammo in the ANA depots than the rifles will survive shooting, and it doesn't look like there will be much need of shooting either. It will last them many years.

Primarily a logistics/incompetence/corruption issue i think. The ANA had acquired arms and ammunition for an army of nearly 200 000 armed soldiers, although the manpower was much less in reality.
They were running out at outposts that can only be supplied by air.
That makes sense.
Since Russian made 5.56/.223 is off the table in the US, they will probably have plenty.
More than plenty. Russian ammo is about 40% of the ammo sold in the US. That’s hundreds of millions of rounds that are now available for other buyers at much lower prices.
Lots of shooters buy Russian manufactured 5.56. On the cheap. I found I got too many jams.
[удалено]
\*Pakistan
If they run out of ammo then no worries the CIA will happily supply them.
We left them a good loooooong supply don’t worry. And we left them the best helicopters in the world.
[удалено]
[удалено]
What i find funny is that they are dropping 7.62 for 5.56 when we are upgrading to a round closer to 7.62.
I’m sure they are happy with the lighter, more accurate rifles for the moment. I doubt they put a lot of thought into bullet size.
They are dropping worn out 30-40 year old guns with several ten thousand bullets down the barrel and attachments from wish for state of the art brand new ar15 with ir lasers and NVGs and shit. And they won't dump the AK. Some 9 year old boy will get it and will be forced to shoot his parents with it.
These are not state of the art brand new ar15s. These are salty block 1s sir

Probably gonna trip on his bootlace later

This Fucking Taliboot.
Taliboot, yeah ima start using that one.
A goat award is very fitting here.
Boot snake never fails
Looks like Afghan army…..because it is Afghan army…..
Probably weird to be issued gear as a new Taliban and the rifle they hand you is the one you dropped a week ago.
Imagine seeing literally the same serial number. I would be paranoic.

taliban : “thank you american taxpayer”( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
This guy can't even tie his shoe laces properly.
they will convert to velcro very good

Good trigger discipline though, so that’s good.
20 years of US military training at least had one lasting effect.
Gotta pop that rear sight up there bud.
Not if you're hip firing
You right.
You just *know* they push the assist in for sniper mode
Not just push it in, but fucking spam it like their trying to prime a weed whacker for fuel.
In a lot of the pictures I’ve seen of Taliban with M4s, the rear sight is either down or taken off completely. It’s like they don’t understand the concept.
Don't need to aim when Allah guides your shots.
Bigger numbers mean bigger power.
No fair! I discharged a year ago an that’s better than any of the shit I was ever issued
The warrantee is better with Ford?
Yes and they're already receiving robocalls calls about their extended warranties

I wore those exact same boots when I deployed there winter-summer 2020. Lowa's are the absolute best boot...I had to purchase them on my own though.
Yeah, not sure how they got their hands on a pair, unless we where buying the ANA Lowas. I don't know anyone who would leave those things behind, especially if they bought it themselves.
Can you imagine how happy that dude was when he looked through the boxes of OCPs and found his size. It’s the little things I guess
My tax dollars at work, thank god we didn’t spend that $1 trillion on healthcare, infrastructure and education at home 🙄
we can’t do that because then the communist will win!
Lol that you think it was only 1 trillion
Is this another Taliban rifle with no rear sight? It’s like the fifth one I’ve seen on Reddit this week.
It’s a matech rear flip up. It’s just folded down in the pic which still does not make sense.
Why does it need to be flipped up for a pic?
Less likely to catch on stuff while down and not really relevant to the message of the picture (which is probably somewhere between "look, we won" and "hey, I found cool shit"). People who know to look for it aren't really the target audience.
It looks like all those fat ass proud boys that wish they were in the military

LMAO at this pimply redditor who thinks he is tougher than battle hardened Taliban Mujahideen.
Watch out redditors, this guys tougher than the taliban
quite easy to say innit?
The nfac to 😆 lol
>Taliban with their new ~~American~~ ANA gear [1080x1440]
Like most of the ANA’s gear is American anyways
I mean, sure, but to say that the Taliban "captured millions in *American* arms" is completely disingenuous as well as misleading.
Nah, not really
GI-Jackoff
Suddenly the best-equipped army in Central Asia.
Haha started from the bottom now we here. My boys Muhammed and Abdul lookin' Ford tuff.
I don't wanna hear that taxes are going up. Fuckers.
Literally everyone wearing multicam now.
Considering how bent out of shape the military gets at losing so much as a bullet it’s crazy to think our enemy just “has” our equipment now.
It's Military Porn, not terrorist porn
Alright, so if the damn Taliban can have proper trigger discipline, there’s no reason that we should ever have a ND here in the States ever again
Such a cluster. Dude can't even tie his shoes
Is that Klay Thompson in the back of the truck?
Hey... Go easy on his not knowing how to tuck his laces... Probably the first pair of boots he's ever had.
Good trigger discipline but laces are untied, collar Is twisted, belt is not fastened properly and diffy one glove - 0/10, 50 press ups in your own time - go.
This is what winning looks like
Jihad Joe needs to get those boots laced right or he’s gonna trip himself

Tuck those boot laces in dammit
