Are the Canadian Rangers the most /comfy/ military unit in the world?
Are the Canadian Rangers the most /comfy/ military unit in the world?
Calling them a military unit is really stretching it.
Apparently some of their Enfields were preserved and sold off or kept by the men who used them, I suppose the rest were destroyed. Fuck the 21st century.
Don't you ever disrespect established members of the Canadian Armed Forces again motherfucker
Thank you for your syrup
They're cool dudes.
don't know but, certainly the gayest
>that mag belt
Neat as fuck.
Looks like a bunch of old inuits with smle's
Pretty ideal if you just want guys to cruise around the high arctic doing presence patrols/checking weather stations/helping SAR
I bet patrol would be fun as fuck.
>Get comfy sweaters
>Get shiny new Tikka t3's
>Relaxed dress and drill standards
>Get to drive around on snowmobiles
>Get to eat non MRE food in the field
It seems like all of the benefits of military life, without any of the pointless dumb shit.

I've met with them and played with their guns. The new tikkas are meh. Loose action like woah. The enfields had to go though.
To all the faggots who don't respect them, their main thing is arctic survival specialization. So they camp a bunch and can navigate where normal army units cannot without great expense.
plus it keeps these drunks off the streets. All around good news story.
Well they may have russian conscripts beat for the drunkest in the world.
Can you verify this? Because if it's true, sounds based as fuck.
Different leaf here, yep from the few I've met they've made it sound like a pretty /comfy/ job. Many of the BC patrol group rangers are white dudes btw
It’s loose so that it’s not as likely to freeze up
Not the government is selling the functional ones to the civi market. The fucked up ones are being destroyed
>Canadian
>almost all chinks
Checks out
Just another Socialist welfare program. The Boy Scouts used to be just as tough and well armed
Are you trolling or just retarded
What do they even do?
Check if the bears are shitting too close to 12 people villages?
Better than expected. But they should salvage the useable parts.
They still go innawoods more than most of Jow Forums and actually have guns
Why are they all asian?
In reality these are good jobs made because there is not a whole lot of work in the arctic. The other side of it is there really aren't any other units in the world beyond other aboriginal tribes which have the knowledge and will to patrol and live in these environments on a yearly basis.
That's probably Vancouver battalion. Lots of orientals over there.
I dunno user, spending years in the blistering cold of the arctic sounds pretty shitty
I did, what happens now?
Americans who want this core, join your state's State Defence Force.
Come up to the arctic circle and say that to their face and not on the internet and see what happens.
When they replaced them with the C19 everybody had the option of buying their Enfield for a dollar.
>One dollar Enfields
Based. Though I imagine that even with all the maintenance they could give them some would be near the end after decades being dragged around up there on top of who knows what wartime service. Good ol' things.
Yes.
>why do people who live where 99% of people are natives look like natives
It's a mystery
Can't wait for Russia to invade from the north, our Nates would go Winter War 2 on their asses.
>actual military makes it up there, shit logistics and maneuvering
>Rangers have the time of their lives ripping around on ski-doos, camping out and killing hundreds all while black out drunk
>stretching
Hahahah, good one user! Get it? They're stretching the fabric haahahahah!
Because Natives are Asians.
They're more of a paramilitary unit.
Look at the flag
This. The Tikka Arctic is sick. I would get one if it had a threaded barrel and if the irons weren't so high requiring a higher scope mount.
Why not just give them surplus C1A1's instead of Tikka's?
Their guns are mostly for defense against wildlife and I'd imagine those Tikkas are a shitload more accurate and lighter to boot than a FAL.
Reminds me of a movie I saw from 1940 where a German U-boat crew scuttles their ship in Hudson’s bay. They go ashore and are BTFO by a group of Inuit hunters.
Yeah unless you plan on slotting floppies all day long, that shit is heavy(although mad fun)
Their rifle had to be a bolt action, magazine fed, moderate sized caliber for dealing with things like polar bears, have readily available parts, iron sights with option for a scope, and stand the harsh winters.
I remember working with them during an arctic ex.
>gotta put guys on wolf/bear watch at camp
>swap C7's for shotguns and a Lee for dat stoppin powah
>ranger walks up to buddy
>"so wutcha gonna do when some wolves comes to camp?"
>I'm gonna shoot em with the shotgun
>"I wouldn't"
>why?
>"you only got 4 shells in there bud, and they travel in packs up to 9"
>but I could take out 4 and make em run
>"the only one running will be your buddy here going for the snowmobile like a smart person"
Why did it have to be bolt action? a FAL does all those things needed.
Not in -40C. The bolt action has way less moving parts that could freeze up.
More of a sentimental thing to pass down to your children at that point
They already live there, this is just a side gig.
It does have a threaded barrel, you lose the front sight though. It's threaded on.
Both.
agreed, the fucked up ones should be sold as parts
I do dig the aesthetic
it's almost like at one time Mongolian type people migrated to North America.
They also help with arctic training for the rest of the Army. I worked with them before. Many are the generic chug with a bolt gun, but many are actually pretty knowledgeable on survival, tracking ,etc.
to anyone who says that bolt guns + snow can't defeat full auto armed adversaries, please see WW2 Eastern Front.
I'm sure that by the second shot the other troops are firing at the wolves.
rofl
each nation should have its own non-government administered civilian survivalist group such as this, works with the military but is a separate entity from any government.
Armed with civilian legal .30 Caliber (yes .303, 8mm Mauser,.308- .30-06 etc)
He just wanted to shoot them himself, don't be fooled.
also has never heard of ghost loading, one in the pipe, one on the shell elevator and 4 in the tube.
sure that doesn't add up to nine, but if Nanuk can load a round or two in between shots, he could make it out alive, without help from his coward squaddies who fled.
unarmed civvies? pass
Clp doesn’t work when it’s too cold so you would have to use LAW and even then cold wether like that turnt semi auto into single shots cause they won’t cycle properly
Or like basic milsurp. I love the look of a hoodie over cargo pants and boots.
The front sight is a clamp, using set screws.
sure, but being a non-governmental organisation where individual volunteers choose their own rifle & cartridge.
Sounds like a merc group, I’m totally down, would be a lot of fudds in some states I bet
The Canadian Rangers are not a non-government administered group. They are considered part of the Canadian Forces, are subject to military law, and are paid by the government just like any other soldier.
I like the gun itself, but I hate that ugly ass stock. What was wrong with regular old wood?
well not mercenaries, since they are not a military/para-military for hire, think more adult boy scouts with rifles, so I guess the US Militia type groups.
As to why I deliberately specified non-governmental for the other groups.
I am sorry for not being clearer.
the wood grain or the shape of the stock ?
if it is just the colour and the grain, you could durakote it
Just out for a rip are ya bud
No its not. I own one. Its definitely threaded on.
that would be the spanish legion
The movie he's referring to is 49th Parallel btw
It's a wood laminate. It's supposed to be extremely durable in extreme conditions.
Have you ever tried to clear a jammed autoloader at night while wearing two pairs of mittens and facing down a polar bear?
What the fuc kind of gloves do you wear to shoot in 40 below weather? The coldest I've gone shooting was -15F and my hands were fine in gloves+trigger finger mittens, but trying to reload was a bitch. That was with a 12 gauge too so the ammo was relatively large and easy to grab.
Sounds like a militia that will become a “private security group”
Meine Siden
I don't know, that actually sounds pretty kino to me, I fucking hate the heat.
You try not to. I've had some success with big overmittens and just taking them off for fine motor skill stuff. Theres probably some Everest-climbing gear that's good enough to keep your hand partially mobile. In the end, the simplest way to keep things warm is to put a filler between your hand and the environment, so maintaining mobility and warmth are a battle.
Why the fuck do they look all arab/Asian trash?
>operation infinite walrus is ongoing to this day
What a waste of tax dollars, Canadian rangers bullshit needs to be scrapped.
They cost practically nothing compared to having the reg force patrol the arctic.
their hoodies look comfy desu
One time cost of rifle, radio, and uniform.
200 rounds of ammo plus rations and the ~two weeks of pay per year.
Government probably spends more on post-it notes than on the Rangers.
They still cost, asswipe. Filled with retarded old natives and grandma's. Waste of money and resources.
My dude in the hells angels was a Canadian ranger BC. When I was in Orlando they used to train with us, had them on a Mac flight once to alameda
And CASARA is full of old white boomers who use it as an excuse to go flying on DND's dime. It's still way cheaper than scrambling a herc for every missing cessna. What's your point?
because white canadians are cucks
How about instead of disbanding rangers we gut every black in our prison system, every pedo, rapist, etc., stop housing muslims and "refugees" on the tax dollar, and get rid of all the gooks who have ruined the housing market in major cities?
Ya fat cunt, the rangers are the least of anyone's worries in this piece of shit nation.
Casara is a lot more respected, and does a lot more over you pathetic "rangers".
KYS Chang.
>let me shift the goal post to fit my narrative
Make some sense you retarded native nigger.
I'm in CASARA though.
what is this dope-ass camo pattern?
Retard.
I've met many losers like you who could never make it in the Canadian army.
