What is the point of these 2-gun competitions like Finnish Brutality? Are these just for LARPers to have fun or something?
It is for manly men who like to get pegged on the DL
It's nothing but larp, for guys who wish they were in the military but also don't actually want to be in the military, they just want to pretend to kill people
secretly its a training program for ww3 leadership roles.
>>65617963>Why do people do [recreational activity]? Is it just recreation?Yes.
Remember playing army or war as a little kid? It's that but grown men
>>65617992It's 2026, recreation isn't allowed anymore, it isn't meta
>>65617992What's so fun about being a soldier that you'd want to role play as one?
>>65617963faggot larpers who are too scared to serve da joos but still want to pretend they are for some reason>>65618054larp autists don't understand 99% of being a soldier is taking part in humiliation rituals and pointless hard labor
>>65617963It's almost like shooting. running, etc. is fun.
>>65618054Are you a woman? 99% of games involve conflict of some kind. Not even video games, just regular games.
>>65618074what are they running from?
People enjoy competing. The vast majority of competitions of any kind are pointless, humans are just compelled to try and prove themselves.
>>65618072Yeah, that's why they play around doing all the fun stuff the military instead of joining the military, it's because they don't understand actually being a soldier sucks. Retard.
>>65618107>the fun stuff>running around in a costume instead of killing sandniggerslosers kek
>>65618093>who is the best make believe operator competition Very compelling
>>65618123People are weird and autistic it happens
>>65618116>Dying for Israel is fun, go- I mean guys!Yeah!>>65617992It's unbelievable that some niggers have gotten so detached from reality that the concept of enjoying yourself is something that NEEDS to be questioned and challenged at every step. Nobody can just have fun anymore, it needs to put into some framework of personal insecurity or some autistic shit.
>>65618072>>65618116Have you considered the possibility that people want to do all the really cool stuff special forces do, but without all the super tedious paperwork, years of training, and actual killing that is required from such a job?Is it really so wrong to want to do cool, action shit without actually needing to sell years of your life for it?
>>65618128if you won't walk the walk don't talk the talk>>65618132>the cool shit>running around the woods and screeching like a retardno wonder everyone in that part of the gun world is an annoying lolcow, autism is a requirement to consider acting like that kek
>>65618132There used to not be a masculinity crisis. Now there is and we have competitions for the best wannabe operator
>>65618141I don't think you can even name a single lolcow without googling it first.>>65618147You're clearly using whatever masculinity crisis, perceived or otherwise, just to hate on something you think is silly.They existed independent of whatever crisis you think is going on, and to be frank, you would still shit on them anyways because you don't actually enjoy anything and complaining is the only way for you to find meaning in life.You need to go outside, anon.
>>65618132>Is it really so wrong to want to do cool, action shit without actually needing to sell years of your life for it?Yeah but I'd rather larp as a Grammaton Cleric than a soldier
>>65618123>Who's the best at kicking the ball into a big fishing net>Who's the best at putting a ball in a hoop, but only if you bounce it all the time>Who's the best at hitting a ball with a club and putting it into a cup-sized hole several hundred feet awayDamn, you're right. All sports are bad and we should only spend our time on this earth doing strictly practical things
>>65618072I like military aesthetic and training fitness and riflemanship but want to actually contribute to private enterprise rather than join the largest welfare program in the country.
>>65618088growing up not not being a faggot
>>65617982so it's perfect for /k/
>>65618054shooting guns and looking cool. Are you a faggot or something?
>>65618177Explain how it's any different then. From where I'm standing it looks like two groups of people doing arbitrary bullshit to score an arbitrary amount of points to be the winner at something that has no relevance to everyday life
>>65618162what's stopping you?
>>65618167Grok, how long have people been doing re-enactments of historical battles? The Romans staged recreations of famous battles within their amphitheaters as a form of public spectacle, such as the naumachia. In the Middle Ages, tournaments often reenacted historical themes from Ancient Rome or elsewhere.(...) In 1674, King Charles II of England staged a recreation of the siege of Maastricht the previous year,
>>65618054Every part that doesn't involve waking up at 5 to be at formation only to wait until 6:30 for the guy in charge to get up. Or MRE shits. Or standing around freebasing trash fire fumes (unless you're into that sort of thing)
>>65618160>>65618178>>65618191>>65618200You will never be a real golem. You have no full auto, you have no support network, you have no training. You are a homosexual man twisted by autism and reddit into a crude mockery of Israel's perfection. All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your childish behavior behind closed doors. Golems are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution have allowed golems to sniff out stolen valor with incredible efficiency. Even larpers who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a golem. Your emaciated body is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk golem to larp with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your disgusting, foul body odor. You will never kill any thirdies. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to happen one day, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight of nothing ever happening. Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked without any military rank or significance, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a civilian is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a scoliosis twisted skeleton that is unmistakably a basement dwelling retard. This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
>>65618177>liking sportsball>complaining about kikes lol, perhaps even lmao
>>65618188I'm tired of pretending that wanting to kill lots of people ISN'T sick and deranged
>>65618203yeah, ok.
>>65618203Severe demoralization post, but also dead on the money
>>65618206depends on what "people" it is
>>65618206this desu, lots of hypocrites around>I want to pretend to be a soldier and murder every nigger on earth but I would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER kill somebody
>>65618204You pretend to serve Israel in your free time
>>65618206I WOULD kill all the browns in the world if I legally could
>>65618218no you wouldnt
>>65618191I thought soldiers didn't actually shoot their issued firearms often?
>>65618214Yep, paper tigers/fags
>>65618222Yeah, that's why we LARP as them instead of being one since being one sucks. Kind of like how LARPing as a cowboy just focuses on shooting guns and riding horses and not so much on getting STDs from the only whore in the frontier town or dying of dysentery
>>65618167Both the South West Combat League (which became IPSC) and the Soldier Of Fortune multigun competitions started in the 70s.I've competed in these matches (went to FB in 2018 and 2019).I think it's fun.Now go back to taste testing your turkish glock clone and pull the trigger properly this time
>>65617963A lot of shooting competitions are very sanitized and push people toward having to use over built fragile contraptions perverting the reason the gun is an item of interest to people. It's for war. Couple that with guns being a fairly mature technology that doesnt have big innovations often anymore to spice up games and practical shooting competitions have become popular.I know you're trolling and I know very little about the competition but I imagine it's like an iron man competition with a practical shooting competition. A blend of two competitions your diabetes and poverty would never allow you to meaningfully participate in so you shitpost on 4chan about it.
>>65617963What were the point for jousts? I'd wager it's the same thing
>LARP LARP LARP LARPThe term LARP has lost all meaning after hitting the mainstream lexicon. In the context of /k/ 90% of this board's culture is centered on "LARPing" and nobody gave a shit about it back in the day. But now /k/ is filled with super serious no fun fags that are basically the equivalent of gun hipsters>If you're poor and buy PSA you're a LARPer>If you have disposable income and buy Crye and KAC you're a LARPer>If you want to do historical kits you're a LARPer>If you only shoot casually you're a LARPer>If you take courses you're a LARPer>If you want guns from videogames, movies, or anime you like you're a LARPer>If you're job doesn't require you to use a gun you're a LARPerIf you are not a Tier 1 operator or fighting in Ukraine you're a LARPer and are not allowed to enjoy guns in an capacity what so ever.
>>65618248>If you are not a Tier 1 operator or fighting in Ukraine you're a LARPer and are not allowed to enjoy guns in an capacity what so ever.this but unironically
>>65618252Ok then sell your guns
>>65618252Just a hair harsh
>>65618248>if I can't be a golem worshipping faggot NOBODY CAN OWN GUNS EVERjust sign up for basic already retard, they increase the age you can join every year
>>65618252average slav bumfight thread participant
>>65618273Do you not have basic reading comprehension?
>>65617963Seems based. Biathlon is also extremely cool. Pun mildly intended.>>65617979>t. Skinnyfat closet homosexual.
>>65617963>Are these just for LARPers to have fun or something?
>>65618284It's 2026Fun is outlawed
>>65618226The real ARMY is just being a janitor %90 of the time plus the occasional exercise, which is just make believe larping anyway. Better to have a high paying civilian job and skip all the low paid bitchwork and then do your own larping in your free time. Seriously, soldiers don't realize just how shitty their pay was until they get a civilian job. I make the same amount as a Lt Col... at an entry level position. Go look at the army pay scales right now and come back and see what you are making compared to high level officer's.
>>65618147>There used to not be a masculinity crisis.There's a masculinity crisis about every decade and a half. Usually back to back.
>>65617963all autists need an outlet for their delusions of grandeur, as larping is in their dna. for some it's dressing up like netanyahu's finest golem and mag dumping trash in the woods, for don quixote it was attacking windmills.
>>65617963All shooting competitions are just larp
>>65617963Looks like theyre filtering out the fatties, who dominate cowboy shooting comps because you only have to waddle a few inches from target to target
>>65618248Yeah, I'm not fond of how current /k/ thinks the only valid reason to own a gun is for self-defence and if you aren't following the self-defence "meta" you aren't taking it seriously.
>>65618367I mean, that's what most firearms are made for
>>65618248If you can't beat prime Ricky Carmichael, just sell your dirt bike. Entering into local hare scrambles and races is just a LARP.
>>65617963>play call of duty, escape from tarkov, wardogs, arma 3, squad>not a larper>wear fatigues and do an obstacle course >suddenly a larper
>>65618557Videogames aren't larping because larp means live action role play and videogames aren't live action.
>>65617982>if you want to learn how to use a weapon and get in shape, you HAVE to give yourself to Israel Go back to /meg/ you zogbot faggot
>>65618054What are you even doing here?
>>65618561>well technically
>>65618054Being a soldier sucks. Larperating on the weekends apparently isn't.
>>65617963holy shit are people having fun?
>>65618566I can enjoy firearms and shooting, but not want to be a soldier or roleplay one.
>>65618573Words have meaning, you stupid faggot.
>>65618206I would legitimately be a cannibal with human heads mounted on my wall if there were no legal repercussions.
>>65618198I don't think most ranges allow 360 degree shooting
>>65618557>>65618573>Watch loli>Not a pedo>fuck kidsSuddenly a pedo
>>65618281:)
Slide/demoralization threadAction shooting of all disciplines sits somewhere between a sport and a martial art. Some people find that threatening. Others are just masking their own deepset feelings of inadequacy. >>65618217see pic related
>65618704>claims slide thread>posts /pol/nigger bait imageaww looks like the faggot larper is having a melty :^)
>>65618704Better to die than live a slave.
>>65617963>tfw some of the veterans i know have admitted they just want to kill dudes and hate the government
>>65618088They're not! They're running to the toughest competition in town.
>>65618795You can't prove I said that.
>>65618795based
The Varusteleka-workers are such insufferable city-civil service>army-onions homo-cucks that I always assume people who take part in this competition are too or are very disappointed when meeting the organizers.It's weird going to their shop with clean, casual clothes, short hair and shaved face. You say hi and those hipsters sit there staring at you in their private, army themed playhouse. Always makes me want to leave as soon as possible.Their edgy website also makes me feel that way. Plus the gear is know to suck ass and break as soon as you walk to the woods. >>65618147This has to be true.
>>65618238A lot of knights were seriously wounded or killed in jousts and melees.
>>65618252huge swathes of 2026 /k/ think this without a shred of irony
>>65617963>What is the point of having fun?
>>65618054>all fps games
>>65617963Competitions are fine but the “brutality” stuff in particular is gay and stupid since it was created by Karl from InRangeTV, and involves dumb shit like throwing kettlebells and doing obstacle courses to intentionally fatigue and disorient competitors which is generally a bad idea when there are loaded firearms involved. If they wanted to add some element of physicality to their competition, then they should have the obstacle courses and weightlifting stages separate from the shooting stages.
>>65619208this reminded me to check varusteleka for the first time in a couple years, what the fuck happened? they used to be a decent place for milsurp, now they sell dropshipped chinkslop gear that cost more than fucking crye>Plus the gear is know to suck ass and break as soon as you walk to the woods.yeah it's definitely dropshipped, crazy that ians army of spergs genuinely buy this shit
>>65618160>>65618300>IM A HECKIN MAN BRO TRUST ME >posts tranimeack yourself already
>>65619527Well, I was born a man so I am a man.My love of anime and nerd shit doesn't mean I wasn't born with a dick and balls, anon.What is it that you're trying to prove? Your masculinity? Why do you care?
>>65619527Just recently, some dude made vids about hitting himself in the face with a hammer to forge the masculinity from his person.
>>65618123>kick ball around a grass field to see who is best at kicking ballPeak of culture.
why do gun contrarians always try their best to shit on any gun activity other than solo range bench shooting?
>>65618632analogy doesnt work, lolicons are pedos
>>65619330>involves dumb shit like throwing kettlebells and doing obstacle courses to intentionally fatigue and disorient competitors which is generally a bad idea when there are loaded firearms involvedHow many gun accidents have there been at Brutality?
>>65619628This hobby, and this board especially, is populated by socially maladjusted autists who get mad at everyone that enters their hobby and seemingly can actually socialize doing it because they are jealous.
>>65619633not enough desu>>65619636>let people act like retarded niggers you heckin chud!gatekeeping is to keep "people" like you out
>>65619663>First rule of gun safety is to have fun>Nooo not like that!
>>65619663Have fun being replaced in your own hobby lmao.
>>65619669go back to /v/ you clown.
>>65619671No. I'm going to LARP as /k/commando and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
>>65619669>I WILL REPLACE YO-AAACCCKKK!!!
>>65619244I'd say it was because no one cared if they did then. I blame current day courts for these kinds of sports not having that much lethal jeopardy action
>>65619633>How many gun accidents have there been at Brutality?No idea but supposedly people get DQed+money stolen all the time for violating the 180-degree rule.
>>65620031Getting DQ'd for violating the 180 happens in any action shooting comp. Very common occurrence for first timers. >Money stolenWhat, the entry fee? lmao.
>>65619707People always laugh at that line in Shrek where the guy says "some of you may die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make", but that was actually part of the deal if you were a knight.
>>65618229This. Competitions are fun, and they're much more fun when you mix in a bit of physical exercise to make it more difficult.
>>65619330Its got the same safety rules as any shooting comp, and you get thrown out instantly for violating the rules. There's a ref constantly behind you ready to react. Frankly you're far more likely to see a dangerous mistake goes all the way to a tragedy on a regular range with normal mouthbreathers.
>>65618054Shooting things and blowing them up, mostly.
>>65618128>IsraelI'm not even sure where this actually comes from. It makes no sense in the context of Iraq or Afghanistan, which aligns with when it came from.
>>65619500I bought a pair of their "made in Finland" jeans and they were absolute dogshit. Sent them all the way back to Finland. I suspect the stuff they make for their brand is generally crap. The surplus austrian fleece jacket with pit zips was incredible though. Granted, this was all a couple of years ago
>>65618229Two-gun matches started because three-gun matches were always decided based on your ability to quad-load shotguns, which people decided was stupid. So they made two-gun with the original intent of being more accessible to newcomers, but then they added all this nonsensical shit like tossing kettle bells which makes it less about marksmanship and gun handling and more about it physical fitness.
>>65619500cold war milsurp was already running out in the 2010's, the war in ukraine caused most of the remaining stocks get dumped into ukraine. it's not really their fault, it's a global problem.
>>65617963
>>65620489If all you care about is shooting offhand 25m airgun is down the hallThe nice thing about firearms martial arts is that the sports that make them up will always have their scoring criteria tempered by people who approach match design with "how does this best test my ability to kill people" in mind rather than minmaxing it to death like Olympic shooting or fencing.
>>65618054>wake up at 10am sat>go to larp event some of the guys are weird but it was fun>grocery store hotbar >go home>oops 430 traffic>turn on air conditionerIm tougher than real soliders
>>65617982thats ideal though, who wants to be in the military and put up with bullshit and a salary thats below the poverty line?
>>65620702so competition is about practicing to kill people?
>>65620304>what did Israel have to do with Iraq?Anon, I....
>>65620914If it involves lethal weapons and testing your proficiency with them - yes :)
>>65617963Having fun you cum guzzling turbo faggot nigger, people can have a useful career in the real world that pays real money so they can afford hobbies on the side.Serving as a pog and then autistically screeching at your betters does not make your micropenis growRope yourself
>>65620489>more about it physical fitnessGood?There are a million shooting "sports" for fat fucks who get exhausted from getting out of their cars. Having a firearms hobby that encourages basic physical fitness is great.
>>65618054Being a soldier is a quaint novelty now, like a cowboy of the wild west.
>>65618562Calm down, Robert
>>65617963Sometimes you look at your closet full of shit and think it'd be a waste of money if you never got in the mud with it. That's all for most of them.When you're younger getting into sports and the social aspect is easy. When you're 30, getting the blood up and doing something physical with other people is a fuckin moon-shot chance. I tried an adult men's hockey league and dude no teams were ever the same , it was just not as fun. That's probably a lot of the draw here, at least some other group is doing something so you get in on it.
>>65617982>>65618054>It's nothing but larp, for guys who wish they were in the militaryMajority of Finnish males has gone through the mandatory military service, little vatnigga.Nobody's "pretending to kill people", it's all hardcore practice for the potential SHTF situation, that doubles as a fun competition.>What's so fun about getting a full upkeep from your government for X months, while you also get to use multi-million dollar destructive equipment you could never own in the civvies?Gee...
>>65618302Agustín Ortiz was a real person.

>>65617982>It's nothing but larp, for guys who wish they were in the militarylmao imagine wanting to larp making $16hr, spending you meager earnings on zyn and redbulls, pondering sucking off the business end of the AR, spam texting the 'girl you like' the 12th meassage on 'delivered' while youre on base all weekend and shes having girls night every nightit would be a more fun larp for shit eaters like Ian, guaranteed
>>65617963From my point of view, it's finnish reservists staying in shape.From your point of view, it's international larperators making youtube videos.We are not the same.

>>65621744That image is mocking dronefags for pretending that """drones""" are anything fundamentally newWhat's new about this conflict is both sides have access to near-infinite battlefield surveillance assets rather than just one. Not strapping an RPG-28 warhead to an RC plane.
>>65618054A lot of people like doing outdoorsy stuff, a lot of people like doing physically demanding stuff, a lot of people like shooting guns. A lot people like to do all three.
>>65621752Yes, in the same way that this image is mocking riflefags for pretending that "rifling" and "cartridges" are anything fundamentally new.
>>65621802You are retarded
>>65619707There was also a much bigger cultural importance of honor, lack of modern medicine and the fact that competitions like that were live fire training but with rewards and awards for finishing well.
>>65622004You are indian
>>65619628You shouldn't be surprised that a board devoted to weapons and military discussion is full of internet tough guys who feel like they have something to prove.

>>65619632By your arguement watching a war film makes you a combat veteran.
>>65622135It's because what's good honest fun and training-slop for grunts threatens the feels of neverserved junior larpers who see themselves as soldiers-in-disguise but would never actually ruck.
