Outside the game, it is most frequently said without any understanding or allusion to this concept.

He became famous taking out over 500 Soviet soldiers during the course of the war with his M/28-30 which is a Finnish Civil Guards variant of the Mosin Nagant rifle. Being a man used to being innawoods and sporting a white camoflage suit, he was nearly impossible to spot in the snowy forests of Finland, earning him the nickname "White Death" by the Soviets. His career ended when he took a HE round to the jaw, but he survived and lived all the way up to 2002. <br>'''MOIST NUGGET: '''Simo's weapon of choice. At once a term of endearment and scorn, the simplified pronunciation "Moist Nugget" commonly refers to almost all iterations of the Mosin-Nagant military rifle. While never the best rifle of its time, mass importation from ex-USSR countries has made its ubiquitous variant, the 91/30, easily the most affordable surplus rifle in the firearms market today. With both the rifle and ammunition for it widely available and inexpensive, it is a popular rifle for those just starting out or without funds for more expensive options. | ||

'''Special Containment Procedures:''' Due to SCP-8721 appearing at unpredictable times and locations, it is impossible to contain them. However, any sightings of SCP-8721 should be reported immediately to the nearest Foundation facility for containment and study. SCP agents are to monitor the Ukrainian and Russian Telegram channels for signs of SCP-8721 activity. Under no circumstances should agents follow any instructions coming from an SCP-8721. If an agent is suspected for being under the influence of SCP-8721. They are to be amesthetized and moved to another assignment. <br> | |||
'''Description:''' SCP-8721 is a series of fleshy cubes made up of dead Russian soldiers. The cubes are roughly 5 meters by 5 meters by 5 meters and weigh approximately 3 tons. They are composed of various human body parts including bones, muscles, organs and skin. The cubes appear to be compressed versions of Russian soldiers who died during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The cubes are often found littered on Ukrainian battlefields where they were left behind after Russian forces retreated. <br> | |||
SCP-8721 has shown the ability to communicate with humans through text messages sent via Telegram. The messages sent by SCP-8721 are written in Russian and are usually short and to the point. Messages received from SCP-8721 tend to include words like "comrade" and "brother". When communicating with people, SCP-8721 will sometimes ask questions about current events or politics. It seems to be particularly interested in topics related to Russia and its military operations. It will also occasionally send pictures of itself to the recipient. The means by which these cubes connect to Telegram is currently unknown, but it is suspected that SCP-8721 may communicated via crushed mobile devices found within the SCP-8721 instance. <br> | |||

If an OP should ever inquire about the name of a particular weapon or post a picture of weapon without specifically naming it, usually one or more poster will declare said weapon to be a FAMAS. Board lore holds that once upon a time an anon, who only knew the FAMAS by name and reputation, asked this about a weapon that was very clearly not a FAMAS. The ensuing ridicule of said poster was so great, that people still make fun about him today by asking "is that a FAMAS?" about anything and everything, the more ridiculous the better. | |||

When well covered in cosmoline, metal becomes nearly impervious to the effects of outside moisture and humidity, allowing it to be stored for long periods of time. So when someone buys their seventy year old surplus rifle that's been in cosmoline storage, they can reasonably be assured rust won't be much of a problem. However, the trouble comes when they attempt to clean it off, as it is notoriously pervasive and difficult to remove. Some /k/ommandos have declared their fondness for the smell, feel, and even taste of cosmoline. Ingestion, injection, or insertion is not recommended. | |||

The interviewer noted the bill would ban weapons possessing forward grips and barrel shrouds, he then asked Representative McCarthy what a barrel shroud was. McCarthy attempted to avoid the question, but was called to answer repeatably. She eventually admitted that she did not know what the term meant, offering that she thought it might be "the shoulder thing that goes up." This, of course, was completely wrong and rather humorous to anyone with even a basic knowledge of the parts of a gun. However, it was also rather distressing, as the inferred understanding became that those attempting to regulate guns generally had no idea what they're talking about and, worse, were attempting to pass legislation on gun control anyway. Along with "high-capacity clips" and "fully semi-automatic", it is a popular buzzword /k/ommandos use to mock someone they believe has little no know understanding of firearms. | |||

One famous example is the helicopter assault on Hostomel airfield north of Kyiv that resulted in at least 2x Ka-52 and a few transports getting shot down. The VDV were unable to hold the airfield against the Ukranian counter attack as support never came to back them up and they got more or less routed. What followed the next days of the invasion was a series of massive failures in terms of helicopter landings, paradrops and formations running into well prepared ambushes set up by the Ukranian forces. It spawned a few good memes like the bastardization of the VDV song /k/ used as the goal horn way back in the 2013-2014 era. | |||

The Kremlin forces tried to stop this convoy but they had little success as helicopters and planes got shot down by anti-air vehicles controlled by Wagner.

Substitutes
Retired Players
Name | Image | Playing Style | Description | Position/No. | Rank |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
NEVA BIN DUN BEFO | Extra Frontman | The declaration cum catchphrase of Red Jacket Firearms, speaking this short sentence justifies and sensationalizes every idea they come up with. From painting weapons "zombie" green to putting aluminum furniture on a BAR, simply saying that phrase instantly doubles the supposed value of all their firearms and work. For correct usage on /k/ it should only be declared when a questionable idea has no apparent reasoning or (in an ironic sense) has already been done before. | CB #5 | ||
CAWADOOTY | Classic No. 10 | A derogatory term based off the video game series "Call of Duty", more specifically derived from the Modern Warfare installments, and even more directly its 12 year old players. Any and all weapons, technology, or military units associated with the series tends to attract the adoration of those who play the game, who are otherwise ignorant of such matters, and will often inspire emulation in them. This often leads to juvenile "experts" espousing one weapon or unit above another, simply based on their vidya game experience. In other instances, the term may be used to insult another persons taste (deservedly or undeservedly) when it appears to imitate the above. | CMF #12 | ||
WELFARE QUEEN | Box to Box | Commonly used to refer to members of the US armed forces, usually specific to those who join simply for "muh benefits" or to the entire force as a whole. That military members are perceived to be well compensated by tax payer dollars, but often returning little of the investment, can cause resentment in non-military members. Pointing out that military members subsist entirely on handouts from the government for doing nothing will quickly start a heated debate, as a good portion of /k/ has served or is currently serving. | CMF #23 | ||
GOD'S CALIBER | The Instigator | Used to refer to a caliber of ammunition that God, himself, must have designed and would surely choose over any other. A truly magnificent round, unmatched by any of the competition, thoroughly outstripping all other rounds in terms of quality, performance, and reliability. An absolute pleasure to shoot with perfect dynamics and physics. In short, 10mm. | RB #15 | ||
NOGUNS | The Instigator | Referring to someone who does not actually own guns. A Noguns who expresses an opinion about guns is at best considered a parrot and at worst a cowadooty faggot. Noguns will often come to /k/ asking what gun should be their first in hopes to become Hasguns. Some people are Noguns by choice (For instance, "I hate guns!" or "What a waste of money!"), while others are Noguns by circumstance (For instance, "Mom won't let me." or "Government won't let me."), but all are equally Noguns just the same. | LB #21 | ||
HOPPE'S NO. 9 | Offensive Fullback | A popular gun bore cleaner over 110 years old, Hoppe's formula number 9 solvent is a common sight in most cleaning kits. While many modern chemical cleaners are more powerful, the tried and true recipe that hints of a faint banana smell is firmly entrenched with its users, who often learned to trust it from their fathers and grandfathers. This loyalty to brand is quietly fanatical, spawning air fresheners and even a cologne of the iconic scent. | RB #9 | ||
/ak/ | The Instigator | A frequently occurring general thread used for discussing topics of anime and manga that include weapons or military themes or posting anime girls with guns, anime girls as guns, guns as anime girls, or any deviation thereof. | DMF #47 | ||
OPERATOR | Build Up | A person who extols the concept of "Hi-speed, Lo-Drag" and understands completely the significance of Speed, Surprise, and Violence of Action in all aspects of their life. One who is among the few who truly understands and employs asymmetric warfare and operates in a tier above the rest. A master of his body, mind, and weapon, the operator incorporates all seamlessly together to function as an efficient, emotionless, godless killing machine. The vast majority of /k/ will never reach this plateau of operating, but all true /k/ommandos strive or wish for it. | CB #8 | ||
ASSAULT CLIPS | Hole Player | A frequent misnomer in the gun control debate, usually meant to refer to high capacity magazines. Put simply, if a magazine is a device made to feed rounds for a firearm, a clip is a device made to refill a magazine. Interchanging the two terms will cause no end of distaste on /k/ and will often result in post after post insulting or correcting the improper usage. This level of ire is only increased when politicians, media, and even laws refer to "clips" when magazines are most obviously meant. Intentionally mixing the two up is often used as a form of bait. | LMF #40 | ||
MCNIGGERATOR | Creative Playmaker | A relatively popular tripfag on /k/. McNig is black, which is referenced by the racial epithet. A frequent poster, McNig is sometimes mistaken for Sweet Soul Bro or Colin Noir. He is notable for having actually stood up against a federal agency in defense of civil rights, as well as telling CNN to fuck off on TV. Also noted for his devotion to his Galil and his Galil Dakimakura, he often posts pictures of himself embracing one or the other. | RWF #36 | ||
RAGNAR THE LEGITIMATE | Box to Box | Ragnar the Legitimate, Bearded Ginger Warrior of the North, is some guy who presumably posts on /k/. According to sources, he is a US Army Ranger (perhaps in the 75th Ranger Regiment), who attended the /k/ meet up of Nugget Fest. His talents include driving. | LMF #75 | ||
EARGESPLITTEN LOUDENBOOMER | Build Up | A hilarious proportioned rifle round, .22 Eargesplitten Loudenboomer was created for one purpose- to fire a bullet at over 5000 fps. This was done by necking down a .378 Weatherby casing to house a .224 diameter bullet. The science, of course, being that a larger explosive force in a narrower barrel will result in a dramatic increase of speed of the bullet when it leaves the gun. The round came impressively close to this goal, but is more easily remembered for its strange dimensions and the novelty of its rather fitting name. | CB #22 | ||
Oppenheimer | None | Not much is know about this anon with the tripcode 'Oppenheimer'. Apparently he was working for the US Airforce and was in charge of nuclear weapons. He also was a doomsday planner and explained how the US sees a potential large scale nuclear attack unfolding and what the consequences would be. He hasn't been seen in a while now and people assume he died. | LB #28 | ||
DUGAN ASHLEY | None | A popular Youtube personality, Ashley Dugan or CarniK Con is a flamboyant gun enthusiast.
He served in the US Army as a Combat Engineer reaching the rank of Sergeant before discharge. Noted for his acting, song writing, and painting skills, he has a deep love of firearms that is evident in much of his actions. Famous for, among many things, his development of Ameriflage or his feel-wrenching ballad "Hold an AK", he a popular source of discussions on /k/. He recently declared he would be posting no more videos as CarniK Con, rumored to be due to his ongoing fight with Multiple Sclerosis. |
CB #8 | ||
BASED IAN | Orchestrator | Ian McCollum, also know as Gun Jesus on /k/, is a famous youtuber that runs the Channels Forgotten Weapons and InRangTV. He is famous for his reviews of older and forgotten weapons, hence the name, but also several prototypes that never reached mass production are reviewed by him. He is often seen in different Museums across the country to get a chance to see and review all kinds of uncommon weapons. | CMF #69 | ||
GLOCKNADE | Box to Box | A meme that originated during the times of the 1 generation of Glock pistols. Especially ones in .40 S&W suffered from a problem where the gun could not handle the pressure of the .40 S&W round and thus had the potential to kaboom in the shooters hand. After this was discorvered, Glock soon fixed the problem and ended the the catastrophic failures of the guns, but Glocks in .40 S&W still have the reputation of actually being a Glocknade. | CMF #23 | ||
OBREZ | Offensive Fullback | Loosely translated from Russian as "sawn-off" and may apply to any long arm made short, on /k/ it most frequently describes a Moist Nugget that has been cut down to a bolt action pistol. Such weapons were notorious in the past of being the weapon of partisans, gangsters, ruffians, and more seeking the strength of a full power cartridge in an easy to conceal firearm. Infamously described as "wrist-breaker" likely to set a target on fire at close enough range, the Obrez is a common discussion topic. Despite its acclaim, it's not often made by US /k/ommandos, as such a modification would constitute a Short Barrel Rifle, requiring ATF paperwork and a tax stamp (which generally costs more than the 91/30) to be legal. | RB #30 | ||
Alexander Pavlovich Lobanov | Anchor Man | A crazy Soviet man that spent most of his life doing nothing but painting self portraits of himself with guns. | DMF #8 | ||
NAVY SEAL PASTA | Build Up | A popular form of copy-pasta on many boards of 4chan, the rambling, expletive-riddled threat is a common response after someone is insulted by another. From references to gorilla(sic) warfare to declarations of IP tracking, the tirade goes at great lengths to spell out just what consequences the anon will suffer for having insulted the wrong super soldier. Naturally, variations on the original are wide spread and limited only by imagination. | CB #1 | ||
HICKOK45 | Hole Player | A popular Youtube personality on /k/, Hickok45 would like to thank Bud's Gun Shop and Federal Ammo for his place on the team. He is an older gentleman with a long history with firearms. From his personal range, he often displays the capabilities of various firearms, as well as his own notable marksmanship, while giving off an air of the Grandpa any /k/ommando would love to have. His favorite targets include 2 Liter bottles filled with colored water as well as various fruits, gongs, and metal animal cut outs that frequent his backyard. | AMF #28 | ||
STOPPAN POWER | Offensive Goalkeeper | A historical term meant to accentuate the apparent value of ammunition that imparts a larger degree of penetrating force into its target, thereby causing the target to "stop" its progress. Not necessarily a measure of lethality, it is a frequently debated matter on /k/ (and the firearm community as a whole) about what actually factors into the term, its subsequent implied nature, and whether or not it's a proper measure of effectiveness. This invariably devolves into a Caliber War where cries of "lol only 9mm", "fuddy-five acp", or ".40 Short and Weak" are thrown wildly back and forth. | GK #45 | ||
THAT SHOULDER THING THAT GOES UP | The Destroyer | During an interview with MSNBC, Representative Carolyn McCarthy, (D) New York, was asked a question in regards to the contents of a proposed gun control bill she was sponsoring. The interviewer noted the bill would ban weapons possessing forward grips and barrel shrouds, he then asked Representative McCarthy what a barrel shroud was. McCarthy attempted to avoid the question, but was called to answer repeatably. She eventually admitted that she did not know what the term meant, offering that she thought it might be "the shoulder thing that goes up." This, of course, was completely wrong and rather humorous to anyone with even a basic knowledge of the parts of a gun. However, it was also rather distressing, as the inferred understanding became that those attempting to regulate guns generally had no idea what they're talking about and, worse, were attempting to pass legislation on gun control anyway. Along with "high-capacity clips" and "fully semi-automatic", it is a popular buzzword /k/ommandos use to mock someone they believe has little no know understanding of firearms. | CMF #20 | ||
Jack Wilson | [REDACTED] | Wilson, a former reserve sheriff's deputy and firearms instructor. Head of the volunteer security at West Freeway Church of Christ. He saved his fellow churchgoers when he swiftly put down a gunman that mortally wounded two people. He recieved the Governor's Medal of Courage for this feat. | SS #8 | ||
Steve1989MRE | [REDACTED] | Steve1989MRE is an MRE(Meal Ready to Eat) reviewer. He reviews all kinds of military rations: Excellent french rations, 100 year old Boer War era rations and rotten chink rations to name a few. | LMF #12 | ||
Jawman | [REDACTED] | A reenactment autist that makes WW2 reenactment photos with multiple versions of himself in them with kekworthy facial expressions. | RB #12 | ||
Poorfag State Armory AR-15 | [REDACTED] | Palmetto State Armory: the go to place for the poorfags of /k/ if they want a cheap AR-15. | CB #10 | ||
VINING | Build Up | A legend in special forces circles, Mike Vining has lived a lifetime of of operating operationally. In a career that spanned from Vietnam to Desert Storm and beyond, Vining has left his mark on the shadowy and secret world of special operations. While much of what he has actually accomplished is not known to the general public, his piercing stare, unnerving smile, and numerous awards hint at a long trail of death and destruction. He spends his retirement traveling the world with his photographer wife (Including a "vacation" to Antarctica to "photograph penguins" which earned him an Antarctic Service Ribbon) and commemorating his fallen comrades. He came out of retirement for the 2021 4chan World Cup for the 10th anniversary of the team to give the team's can of Cosmoline some well earned R&R. | CB #88 | ||
Yeah | The Destroyer | Yeah. | CB #10 | ||
East German RPG Team | [REDACTED] | Despite /k/'s inherent dislike for communists, /k/ will always have a boner for Warsaw Pact Aesthetics and highest on the list is the National People's Army of the Former German Democratic Republic. Prussian-style uniforms, stahlhelms and rain pattern camoflage is always a winner. | CB #12 | ||
SLAVSHIT | [REDACTED] | A catch-all term related to any weapon, vehicle, system, or otherwise that originates from traditionally Slavic countries. It is generally considered an epithet deriding the historically shoddy and unreliable nature of said items or an insult to those who prefer them over more Western technologies. Owners of slavshit may become incensed when called to the fact or may disregard the accusation as baseless and derived of outdated myths or anti-communist sentiment. Sometimes used in non-insulting fashion between owners of slavshit. | DMF #39 | ||
A LITTERAL FUCKING GUN PLAYING SOCCER | [REDACTED] | *shoots your ball* | LB #11 | ||
>>>VDV | The Destroyer | VDV has been a long standing meme on /k/ owing to their great history, combat capabilities and meme song. All of this was more or less shattered into pieces during the Russo-Ukranian war of 2022, as the VDV were extremely poorly deployed and took extremely high losses during the invasion. One famous example is the helicopter assault on Hostomel airfield north of Kyiv that resulted in at least 2x Ka-52 and a few transports getting shot down. The VDV were unable to hold the airfield against the Ukranian counter attack as support never came to back them up and they got more or less routed. What followed the next days of the invasion was a series of massive failures in terms of helicopter landings, paradrops and formations running into well prepared ambushes set up by the Ukranian forces. It spawned a few good memes like the bastardization of the VDV song /k/ used as the goal horn way back in the 2013-2014 era. | DMF #12 | ||
LARPERATOR | Box To Box | A slang term that is a fusion of "LARP(Live Action RolePlay)" and "Operator". Often used as a derogatory term about anons who have "high speed, low drag" gear despite not being an active service member. They come in all forms and shapes from poorfag instagram airshitters to edgelords wearing 5.11 combat pants with a punisher skull on their baseball caps. Not to be feared unless caught with the latest gear that is last year's. Can be spotted at Gunshows and James Yeager's ranges. | CMF #10 | ||
Trenchanon | Offensive Fullback | A comfy anon who is known for posting comfy trench threads. Whenever he posts a picture of himself it's always with his trademark gimp mask. | LB #10 | ||
MARKO PERKOVIC THOMPSON | Box To Box | A Croatian rock musician and the lead singer of the band Thompson. Most famously known for his hit song Bojna Čavoglave that was released during the Yugoslav wars of the early 90's. | CMF #10 | ||
Lauri Törni | [REDACTED] | A Finnish soldier with an impressive service record. He served with the Finnish Army in the 1939-1940 Winter War against the USSR. After the war he joined the Waffen SS and fought in the Continuation War. Being good at striking behind enemy lines, he became rather unpopular among the Soviet Army and bounties were issued for his head. After the war he was imprisoned for collaborating with Nazi-Germany, he was pardoned later. With his strong anti-communist sentiment still present he emigrated to the USA and joined the US Army, more specifically the Green Berets. He met his end in a helicopter crash in Vietnam in 1965. He was posthumously promoted to Major. | CMF #12 | ||
Predator Drone | Offensive Fullback | MQ-9 Reaper/Predator B, the favorite toy of USAF. This UAV has had a very extensive service record the past decades and has been involved in numerous air strikes against anyone that the CIA did not like. | RB #10 | ||
Arkan and the Tigers | Anchor Man | Željko Ražnatović or more commonly known as "Arkan" was a Serbian Paramilitary leader during the Yugoslav wars in the 90's. A war criminal or a war hero depending on your viewpoints. He became very imfamous when the shit hit the fan in Yugoslavia during the 90's, he led a paramilitary group known as "The Tigers" which became very imfamous for their actions in Bosnia and Croatia. | DMF | ||
Abu Hajaar | None | The ISIS comedy relief, he just tried to do his best but got yelled at a lot for spraying casings from his MG3 all over his comrade to the right. Last seen rolling on the ground. | CB | ||
Wagner's Race to Moscow | Destroyer | For the Bakhmut Saga Go here
After Wagner PMC managed to push the Ukranians out of Bakhmut at the end of May, they would hand over the control of the city ruins to the Russian Armed Forces. The seizure of Bakhmut could only be described as phyrric victory of the Wagner PMC and the Russian Armed Forces as they took extremely high amounts of casualties in the process, this prompted a lot of accusations going back and forth with the Wagner PMC financier Yevgeny Prigozhin calling out the Russian Ministy of Defence of intentionally undersupplying them with ammunition. These tensions kept on growing after the battle was over, with more accusations of the Russian Minstry of Defence trying to covertly destroy Wagner units. It all culiminated on June 23rd when Yevgeny Prigozhin published another video where he called out the entire basis for the Russian >Special >Military >Operation. What followed was a straight up Wagner PMC mutiny where they swiftly took over Rostov(The HQ for the Russian SMO) with no bloodshed. Their goal was to eliminate the Russian Minister of Defence and the Army Chief of Staff. What followed was a highway convoy of Wagner vehicles that were blitzing their way from Rostov to Voronezh with the final destination being Moscow. The Kremlin forces tried to stop this convoy but they had little success as helicopters and planes got shot down by anti-air vehicles controlled by Wagner. However when the convoy was 200km away from Moscow, the entire mutiny got called off. Yevgeny Prigozhin struck some deal with the Belarusian President Lukashenko and the
Wagner forces turn back to their camps. Currently Wagner PMC and Prigozhin are exiled to Belarus, their future remains unclear. This whole shitshow led to prime shitposting hours on /k/. |
