Why does this guy have a double barreled shotgun on a Chinese aircraft carrier? Is there a specific use for it in this context that I'm unaware of or is China really that broke they issue (probably stolen) civilian firearms?
Double barreled shotgun on an aircraft carrier
Seagulls?
honestly sounds like a fun time, frick those air rodents
its for CIWS stupid
I think to lauch cables to other ships? Dunno either mang
naval line throwing guns are a thing, but that's an O/U with chokes for birdshot, that would be a silly platform for line throwing. It's probably for getting rid of nuisance seagulls so planes don't hit them.
>Why does this guy have a double barreled shotgun on a Chinese aircraft carrier?
It must be birds. It is a major issue at airports some use falcons to chase them off. I have no idea what is screwed into the chokes on that OU either.
No not a line thrower.
>I have no idea what is screwed into the chokes on that OU either.
Those are competition-style chokes, they stick out from the barrels and are knurled so you can easily change them out. Many shotguns have that style instead of the traditional ones that fit flush with the muzzle. There's nothing strange about those chokes.
There you go never seen competition chokes before because aside from using my own trap now and again I have never been in a club or competition. I only know of the flush fit ones. Wonder if it is a full choke of some kind.
there are usually markings on the chokes so you can tell quickly at a glance how tight they are but that part of the pic is too blurry to make out that kind of fine detail.
They're just external chokes.
>It is a major issue at airports some use falcons to chase them off.
Yup.

They use .45-70 trapdoor Springfields for line throwing
We're talking about the chinks
you again? quit spreading false info, we use m14s
seagulls, other flying varmidts and target practice. Sailors have always taken small arms on-board for target practice to keep one's senses sharp.

Nice, and an LMG too. They had some interesting guns there in the Dutch indies

My favourite is the M1871/88 Dutch Beaumont-Vitali bolt action like a gras and a vetterli vitali fricked and had a healthy child but with the interesting firing pin spring is a V sping in the bolt handle twist. Charger loading too.
The Aceh war is a war no body has heard of but for me it is one of the iconic heart of darkness style colonial wars

1873 to 1913. It was a long brutal war and the dutch beaumont rifle was there.
>Dutch sent 51.000 troops, 37.000 killed (including by cholera) against 10,000–200,000 troops native ones, 60–70,000 killed (including by cholera)
What the frick were they doing there, shitting in each others mouths and then doing suicide charges?
Also all books in Dutch, no English or German translations, they really don't want anybody to know about this
why are they all shooting like girls?
Because not only are they sailors, they're dutch sailor's.
Believe it or not, before tacticool obsessed zoomers latched on to the chicklean meme their stance was pretty common in military marksmanship training because of its use in shooting sports like biathlon.
Dutch are known for extremely low amounts of t
Puts the center of gravity of the rifle over your center of gravity. Any precision shooter knows and does this shooting offhand. It’s literally taught in USMC marksmanship training.
Drones
Is that a fricking Franchi over/under? Those are nice. Why does homie have a sporting piece on a flat top? Is this the change carrier? I have so many questions.
Its used as a motivational tool.
its for shooting the nuclear personnel if they try to escape through a deck hatch
Nice to see that some things don't change in various navies
They probably shoot the back of the jets to jump start them
arm comisar to prevent ideological subversion?
Chinese commissars don't do that anymore they're just office b***hes who handle bureaucracy nowadays.
Imagine getting disciplined by this commissar hahaha
petty officer Wei is an anti drone expert, he can take out an entire drone swarm within minutes.
it's probably to scare off birds or something
Wog Day suckstart prank
OUs are for land everyone in competent Navies knows semis are for sea birds.
>semis
thats a pump bro
>Chinese Navy
>Chinese
Someone was hungry, bud. Hopefully hes cool with the guys in the Galley
Source on the pic, assume it's some PLAN video?
Those chokes tho
I take it they shoot buckshot or birdshot? Or at least they plan to
>Chicken parmigiana in the mess tonight
>Take a big bite
>Full of birdshot
What is with Asians and those cloth gloves. They're all over fricking china, Japan, and Korea. They're terrible to actually work in.
for dealing with cacodemons, obviously
> issue (probably stolen) civilian firearms
Do you actually believe that China has a non military firearms market?
That's the ship cook, looking for mystery meat from the flight deck.
That day the inside of the ballast tanks was empty so he had to resort to seagulls instead of whatever sea creatures and worms they usually use...
isnt that japanese tho
What gun is it though?
Shitty MREs means they need to hunt gulls and anything that jumps out if the water to survive.
Is that a ramp?
>trap
because he's about to shoot one sick ass round of trap off the starboard side. also, the amount of moronation surrounding shotgunning in this thread is just precious.
To shoot the planes being ramped off the deck
>Pull!
