The can is worth 200 in and of itself, so you paid around 200 bucks for a gook nugget that doesn't look too beat to shit. I guess you could do worse, it's not a bad deal but it's not an amazing deal either.

Is there any company making impact-protection balaclavas? I'm trying to find some but no luck.
Don't think so gyro bro.
Any advice on how to practice long distance shooting, as in, getting out to 1000 yards, and passing it with the goal of 1760?
>rifle/glass/gear recommendations
>techniques to study and practice
>dry firing techniques
Right now I'm shooting a T/C 308 With some old 8x Nikon glass my dad left me, I can put 5 rounds in a 5 inch group at 300 yards. Any advice is appreciated.
I only found this but I donโt know if thatโs what you exactly wanted. It is expensive and the price is $60.00 CAD/$39.83 EUR.

make sure you check your headspace. me and a buddy bought some from the same batch (all matching too) and my headspace was fine. his was not and was splitting shell necks. nothing crazy, it wasn't going to blow up in his face or anything, but he definitely needed a new bolt.
I look forward to seeing more answers, as I'd love to make 1,000yd shots โ even half that. But the "local" range is 2hrs away and only allows for 300yd shots.
Where on earth do you even find a place/way to shoot from that far away? And what would /k/ say is the minimum magnification? Have any here madeit onto the paper with a 3-9, at that range?
Good question /k/omrade โ guns are for reaching out and touching a target from nowhere near them.
3-in-1 for bike chains is a disaster. It attracts (dissolves? Adheres better to? Obviously not a literal dirt-magnet butโฆ) dirt quickly, has low thermal AND pressure limitations, and evaporates under use, leaving only that dirt we spoke of earlier.
If you're seriously poor, I'd sooner recommend 30w car oil than 3-in-1, which was engineered for sewing machines used by old ladies, and can also reduce the squeak your bathroom door's middle hinge makes. Not sure what the third use is, but if there's pressure or temperature in play, don't use it there.
well that's true of bike chains but application on a firearm is a different story. talking about bikes specifically, grime attraction is fine in a dry, clean environment like summer but disastrous during wet, salty times like winter.
properly taken care of guns don't have to deal with that though. I shoot mine enough so that they stay neither fouled not sitting (clean) long. that being said, point taken on its thermal and pressure applications. do you know what sets CLP apart from 3-in-one specifically that makes CLP more applicable towards gun usage?
I'm about 10 beers deep so sorry if my wordage isnt the best.
So most of us here have gas masks for SHTF but the real question is, when would we be using them? main 2 scenarios I can think of is military using tear gas or similar riot control measures. Or your /k/ neighbor gassing the block for whatever reason.
I can't really see something on the scale of ww1 gas even though im sure the military has volatile concoctions stored somewhere.
Not exactly what I was hoping for but good enough. How come D3O haven't made any balaclavas? You'd think it would be possible with the current tech to make one that is lightweight and provide protection against punches and even smaller blunt weapons around our jaw, nose and temple.
>grime attraction is fine
Did you forget that DI guns like the AR poop where they eat?
> what sets CLP apart from 3-in-1, specifically?
My understanding was that CLP wasn't a "product" so much as an idea
One that has often failed to find balance, as the 'c' tends to step on the toes of 'l' leaving 'p' out in the weather while they fight.
My preference is to separate the functions. Clean with WD-40, wait for it to dry, add ALG go-juice to the contact points. YMMV, I'm still new to actually being able to think about shooting not just hoarding ammo.
Uh, thatโs a good question. No idea why they havenโt created that yet. I think it is a great idea because nobody want to be potatoes for the rest of their life. I think you might be able to receive less damages if you sew the shock absorption gel sheet into balaclavas.
Planning on getting a reloading kit, ingot pan, and bullet mold for a .38/.357 and .410 shotgun. Am I better off going used, or new? What's the best brand name/model that offers all the basic features without charging an arm and a leg? I've heard that tire balancing weights are a bad idea if you want accuracy, and to buy only pure lead and mix it withโฆsomething till you get the right hardness. In a .357 is that really gonna matter since 100 yards is more or less your max accurate range? Is it worth getting a few different casts for different grains, or just getting 158g and keeping things consistent? What does 128 offer over 158?
>Did you forget that DI guns like the AR poop where they eat?
i did, but that doesnt really make a difference. ARs like to run wet, its not going to matter what you put in there, its gonna get gunked up. if anything, grime attraction would be a positive as it would clean easier. fouling for the most part isnt escaping since its a closed system so having a nice gummy (relatively speaking) oil to catch all that shit would be good.
that being said, if 3-in-1 doesnt effectively clean that mess out then its not very good. CLP has done very well by me for the past 10 years so i keep using it, but if i can get the same cleaning quality for a third of the price because its not the (((name brand))), im going to do that. though, if its a distinctly inferior product (i.e. what you say is true about 3-in-1's thermal and pressure limitations), then im not going to use it.
also you should use a bore solvent rather than WD-40 for your cleaning step if you want to keep your steps separate. i understand the logic of the separation, i just dont do it.
changed some of my search parameters and kept reading and found someone wrote WD-40 (manufacturer of 3-in-One) and they responded that 3-in-One doesnt contain solvents and is non-detergent. so it doesnt sound like a good substitute. im starting to think that youre right in regards to separating functions.
When it comes to the ingot pan I'd go used, new for the bullet molds and dies because then you know for sure your shit isn't scratched to shit on the inside. For cheap range/plinking ammo wheel weights are more than suitable, but when going for accuracy I'd personally go with a proper lead mix. With that being said, go ahead and get multiple molds.
>more energy at 1,000 yards than a .45 acp at point blank range
>more velocity at 1,000 yards than a .45 acp at point blank range
Would the hollow point expand tho?
>a rifle cartridge is more powerful than a pistol cartridge
What's the point of that post? .45 ACP has the same base diameter as .308. Now look how much longer the later is. That difference means it has more than twice the case capacity.
The point was the question.
So, to be more direct, you're asking if a .30-cal 168 FMJ would leave a bigger exit hole through a brick of ballistic gel at 1,000yds / 539ft-lbs than a .45-cal hollow point would impacting a mated brick of gel a foot or two away at 471ft-lbs.
My question to that, would be would you like an apple, or an orange?

Suggestions for an online military surplus store? I can't use Varusteleka because they won't ship to a P.O, Box.
I like Mike's Militaria and SwissLink. Kommandostore is still okay as well. They don't have the widest selection, but they'll occasionally have weird stuff no one else does. Where they really shine is their new reproductions of surplus gear.

What's the lethal range for 6.5 Grendel? I see lots of posts about people running steel at 1000 yards, but how far out will it reliably incapacitate a man? A deer? An elk?
Is there a gun that can end my degenerate desires without ending my life?
scalpel, or bible, are both better choices for that. Guns just leave a hole that wants to be filled with more. Sometimes the hole gets infected though, turns bad. Has to be cut out, evil-dead style.
Filling a hole with a chainsaw doesn't really reduce your degeneracy, just makes it harder to pull a trigger. Never ending cycle, you see?

Why is burst/automatic fire bad for suppression when the weapon designed primarily for suppression(i.e. MG) is used almost entirely in full auto?
Depends entirely on your standards which are primarily subjective. For modern military doctrines usually 22lr after going through some arbitrary amount of armor(usually some unspecified steel) is ok. Do you want to incapacitate the man immediately? Do you want to wound the man enough that his life is in danger and requires immediate medical help? Do you want to theoretically be able to kill your target on occasional lucky shot to the eye while other shots in non-vital areas like ones not being arteries/heart/nerve system are expected to only cause minor distraction for the expected time of combat?
Hunters have more strict standards as they can lose the game and/or talk some weird speak about muh ethics, though they don't really have standards for humans, for obvious reasons. For deer the lowest acceptable cartridges for a standard lung shot are 357mag(1250ft-lbs) or 30 carbine(~1000ft-lbs, commonly more like 950) from rifles, though handgun hunters might have it lower. These standards are for pretty close range(50-100m) though, and with a properly selected ammo. Humans are generally considered similar or slightly smaller than deer sized game and when fighting them you may find it acceptable to take 5mins to bleed out instead of >30secs or instant incapacitation and when they fight back you can simply shoot them again so the acceptable threshold can be lower. Usually if you can get good ammo then energy is a pretty good estimation of "killing power" and the one that legislations that don't list specific cartridges commonly use.
For elk do your own research, i dunno.
Not weapon related, but does anyone have a copy of the Fuhrer Cake recipe?

>Why is burst/automatic fire bad for suppression when the weapon designed primarily for suppression(i.e. MG) is used almost entirely in full auto?
Because machine guns are usually belt-fed and have a whole team of people to bring belts to the battle. E.g. the official TOE says that in a team there are 4 members, 3 of them has 7 magazines for 210 cartridges, and a belt with 200 more cartridges. Then there is the M249 gunner with 4 belts for 800 cartridges. Obviosuly all the belts are for him. So out of the 2030 cartridges 1600 are for the light machine gun. And the M249 can take the magazines too (in theory, in practice it's far from reliable). In other words, according to official doctrine ~80% of the ammunition is for the M249, and the gunner needs 8x more ammunition than a rifleman.
>burst fire
There are usually three reasonings behind its existence, and I disagree with all three of them.
<to limit ammunition wastage by limiting automatic fire
If someone can't use automatic fire efficiently (either due to his lack of skills or because the weapon is not suited for automatic fire) then he will still waste ammunition in burst mode and he'd be better off with semi-automatic fire.
<to increase hit probability
The theory is that a bunch of projectiles hitting in a controlled pattern are more likely to hit the target. Project SALVO and all of its predecessors and sucessors tried it, and they never managed to make it work. And they started in the 1950s and the programs were running even in the 1990s. Decades of research, more arcane ideas than what we could come up with, and it was all for nothing.
>to penetrate armour
The AN-94 is the best example: it's overcomplicated for what it is, and yet you'd be better off with a self-loading rifle designed for a bigger cartridge (e.g. .338 Lapua Magnum).
>Story about the cake but no recipe for the cake

>The theory is that a bunch of projectiles hitting in a controlled pattern are more likely to hit the target. Project SALVO and all of its predecessors and sucessors tried it, and they never managed to make it work.
Project SALVO worked within reason, the problem was with ammunition costs overruling practicality and because individual marksmanship was still butting heads with that proposed doctrine - hence the M14 being adopted and the M16 being sabotaged through both cost-saving measures and "muh M14".
Duplex ammunition worked well enough that it was seriously considered, double-rifles were thrown out as soon as possible, and flechettes were a massive disappointment, but that's generally where the discussion ends.
>hence the M14 being adopted and the M16 being sabotaged through both cost-saving measures and "muh M14"
The M16 was adopted because it was perfectly fine for jungle warfare, much better than the M14, and they kept it as an interim solution until one of those projects delivers a rifle that can somehow make even a conscript into a marksman. As far as I know the whole thing with the powder and the lack of cleaning kits is just your typical US Army retardation, not some kind of a sabotage to save the M14.
>an apple cake strewn with nuts and raisins
Closest thing they get to describing the cake in question. They don't mention the type of tea he preferred either.
>As far as I know the whole thing with the powder and the lack of cleaning kits is just your typical US Army retardation, not some kind of a sabotage to save the M14.
There's some truth to this actually, but it sounds like anon is conflating M16 kikery with AR-10/FAL kikery. During the adoption trials for what would eventually become the M14, the guys running the trials sabotaged the FAL and the AR-10 whenever possible, while having three different specialists constantly babying the M-14 to keep it running.
Yes and no. US Army sabotaged the M16 by using different powder, no cleaning kits, not training to clean the rifles. As for the FAL kikery, that was an Army Colonel that fucked over everyone by not only the .280 British but also not adopting the FN FAL.
Is the Taurus G2C any good? I've heard mixed things about it
So the main factors limiting full auto suppressive fire is ammo amount and mag size? I.e. it's preferable to extend those few mags you have with slower single aimed shots over greater amount of time for at least some suppression rather than spending everything in a few seconds and getting stuck? How important is the MG role anyway? Does it do anything that several trained marksmen cannot in most situations that don't include fighting communist hordes/zombies?
Taurus is shit. Spend a bit more and get an EC9S so you have a gun that actually works.
I'm planning to build a CETME in .358 Winchester. Is this stupid?
Objectively good for the money. Glock style trigger/breakdown and runs sig 226 mags. Factory sights are shit, get tritium sights as fast as possible.
You obviously have never worked in a shop that sells both. Despite selling a roughly equal amount of each, we send back 5-6 times as many EC9s to Taurus G2c's. The revolver's/1911's are still solid, but Mayodan's QC has taken a hard hit lately.
I have some 1โ SCH 80 steel pipe and end caps rated to 3000 PSI. Thereโs no chance a black powder muzzleloading shotgun made from this could explode, right?
Moving to a 5.56 platform, should I go with Lancers or PMAGS, and why? I heard Pmags are better than lancers, then I heard Lancers are better than PMAGs, on and on. PMAGS are cheaper, but Lancers look better for sure. What do you guys think, what do you know? If it makes a difference, they're going in a Tavor SAR.
>inb4 jew gun
I was gonna buy an RDB but found this tavor for $700 with optic.
Watch vid related. tl;dw is that the French managed to suppress entrenched Maxims with a firearm that had a RoF of 240 shots/minute, overheated after a few hundred shots, and had a magazine that holds less than 20 cartridges. Of course they also had rifle grenades to quickly take out the suppressed machine gun nest, so they didn't have to keep up the firefight for that long.
I'd just go with the pmags.
I have older PMAGs that won't seat inside the magazine when fully loaded to 30 rounds
the Lancers I have do however. I would assume newly made PMAGs don't have that issue but I don't have any experience
with them, Lancers also have metal feed lips if thats something you care about.
I have many of both, both work fine. I prefer pmags just because they are much easier to load with stripper clips the spoon is wobbly on lancers but stays firmly in place on pmag.
Lancers have metal lips, if you think that's worth the extra money go with lancers. If not go with pmags, they'll both do you fine.
surefeed/surefeed E2 master race
What optics are you guys running for 2-gun?
M3 PMAGs will do you just fine. ETS magazines are arguably better than both but a little more expensive.
Thanks anon, I went to confession, will probably read from the book today.
(I still plan on using a chainsaw this summer to release my testoserone fuel storage)
Thanks for the input streloks. I think I'm just going to go with the PMAGS, they are not as cool as the ETS or Lancers, because muh clear mags, but the fact I can get them for $8 at PSA kinda seals the deal. It'd probably be wise to stack cheap, stack deep, before getting what I think looks cool. They also have ammo on sale, so there is that too. Any tavor fags wanna learn me about her quirks? I never really looked into them as I am an AUG/FS2000 kinda guy, but it would have been retarded not to pick it up for the price.
Her stock scratched up my cheek and she blew gas into my face. Did not enjoy.
You should've saved the money and used it towards an AUG.
That's what you get goyim, it's to remind you of the 60 gorillion
I hear they gas you, oy vey. But for 700 bucks that's a pretty damn good deal.

Burgerland is giving us 30 ฮฮV-7ฮ1s for free. Are they any good?
Yeah, they're alright. They don't have the best protection but they are essentially just armored landing craft. Think like a modern LVT, good for moving troops between all your islands with a modicum of protection and good for light infantry engagement, but don't expect it to be like a Bradley or something. It's for moving troops across water and a bit inland. All they have is an M2 and a Mk19, so unless it's a pickup truck, don't expect anti vehicle capacity. Unless you gyro niggers strap some tow missiles or something to it.

.338 federal doesn't make me smile as much, and .338 win mag wouldn't fit the bolt face.
I was originally considering 45-70 auto like pheonix arms did, but I wasn't willing to turn the rim down for every shot. (because brass-mangling roller-delay)
I considered doing Grendal using some PTR 7.62x39, but I didn't have a good magazine solution. I looked at 22-250, but don't want a pinned and welded barrel getting worn out in ~2k rounds.
I currently don't have a big bore rifle, so .358 win it is. it looks like it will do most of what I wanted out of 45-70, but with less hassle.
>so .358 win it is.
I lost track of the narrative. Have you looked at 45 RAPTOR ? Pretty much 762NATO brass made into straightwalled pistol brass, shoots pretty much like a 45-70, I think.
been looking for a scope for my ar-15. itll be nothing more for at the range, so i really dont want to spend more than $50 on it. im just kinda bored of my MBUS sights. been thinking of the simmons truplex for around $40. any recs?
I recommend a Monstrum P330-B Marksman 3X Prism Scope, you can find them for like $80 and they are pretty solid. They also look nice, built tough too.
Just moved to a slightly rural area with a creek for a backyard. I would like to get a lever action rifle to handle varmints. Iโm weighing my options between .45-70 and .30-30. Keep in mind, iโm not going to spend Winchester money on one. Looking to stay reasonably priced so I can keep saving for other guns. Main uses will be for wild hogs, deer, coyote, and possibly alligators. Anyone have any experience or recommendations? Looking at Marlin and Mossberg right now, but the Mossbergโs seem to have a pretty shit rep.
Yeah, I looked at 45 and 375 raptor, but it was a little more obscure than I wanted to go. Plus I found a good deal on a .338 win barrel and jumped on that. I can post pics when it's done if there's interest.

wtf it reformatted my post with reddit spaces
Already have a S&W Model 19 for .357mag needs. The main reason for those two calibers is the possibility of going hog or deer hunting. That and absolute overkill for whatever I need. I do plan on eventually getting into reloading, just have to make the space.
Then you have all the more reason to get a lever gun in the same caliber. .357mag out of a rifle barrel will fit your needs quite well, regardless of what the texans think a 180gr hardcast going at 1400-1600 FPS isn't going to bounce off a whitetail or wild hog.

Say hello and share a beer
Why don't people take full metal jackets seriously? They worked good enough back in the day.
In terms of pistol or in general?
Pistol, and more specifically 45 automatic.
The point is getting a rifle caliber, bud. Getting another caliber to add to the arsenal, and enjoying one of two classic American calibers. .45-70 or .30-30 is what I am going to choose between
Can someone point me in the right direction for edumacating myself about SEF trigger groups?
I found a PTR with one of those in a gun store earlier today and didn't know what the fuck it was.
Didn't ask one of the guys behind the counters because they get mad as shit every other time I've asked them anything so I don't even bother anymore.
My favorite local gun shop closed within this past year and I'm forced to go to these assholes because they're the only ones within a reasonable distance of my house anymore.
It's just a three position selector that's semi-auto on E and F
t. owns a ptr with an SEF trigger group
Could theoretically increase accuracy though unless you throw in a red dot in place of that short sight radius, otherwise you just get a short barreled PCC with all it's downsides. In full auto it'd still be worse than a proper SMG due to light weight, excessive fire rate, short barrel and balance. If the brace/stock folds and the weapon is compact enough to carry then it'd be a somewhat viable alternative to a big ass handgun in a powerful caliber like 10mm, assuming it's in full auto and fires something with less recoil than at least 9mm+p, being usable for things like <100m suppressive fire or something.
Because they, especially the round nose ones suck, and while they6 suck just as much as they did before we fortunately now have access to better options that suck less.
Then get a 45-70, 30-30 is not a huge step up from 357mag in a rifle, as other poster said, with better 357 loads rivaling weaker 30-30 ones. 45-70 is also easier to reload and works better on elk and above, something that both 30-30 and 357 somewhat lack.
I won't try to say your wrong for wanting to expand your caliber selection, but at the same time it feels like you're stretching yourself thin for not stacking your guns to your pre-existing ammo. I've got some land in the boonies myself, and have both a S&W 686 and a winchester 1873 clone in 357. Posting a vid that kinda outlines why it's a good pairing, and why I think for your next step, it'd be a reasonable next purchase.
Otherwise, >>679111 brings up some great points: the 30-30 and the 357 both fall in a pretty similar range of game, with the big difference being effective distance. A 357 will drop an elk, but past 150 yards, you're gonna be far less lethal. A 30-30 however, would be as effective at 400 yards to the 357's 150 yards. Neither load however, is gonna guarantee a kill without decent placement, whereas a 45-70 could comfortably kill an elk with any hit save for extremely poor placement.
Depends on what your gonna do with it.
If you just want to make it a plinker then yeah theyre fun, but the atf will be breathing down your neck about it. If you want it for home defense than a carbine conversion is better and usually only 50$ more expensive.
I do not recommend them for conceal carry, too slow on the draw and too bulky to hide. And if you plan on keeping it in your car then a carbine conversion is better.
Update to this, here are the final model number options. It appears they cucked out completely. What a disappointment.
Going to be getting a vepr 12 next month.
What are some recommendations for what to put on it?
Get a proper side rail and optic to match.
I though vepr 12s didn't have a traditional ak side rail. Just the picatinny rail on the dust cover. How do you install a side rail without fucking things up?
What kind of optic is good for a shotgun?
Assuming the planet is still intact 100 years into the futureโฆ Do you think revolvers will still be used or will it become a hobby just like black powder shooting? What about cartridges?
The only place where revolver can still shine today is the pocket, because a 5 shot .357 revolver still has more firepower than any self-loader of its size. New projectiles and propellants might change the game though.
>How do you install a side rail without fucking things up?
If you know how to correctly drill and tap a hole its simple provided you have the tools to correctly do it, i.e a drill, tap and vice that can hold your shit. If you aren't competent enough for that/don't have the tools, the gunsmith will probably do it for 50 or less.
>What kind of optic is good for a shotgun?
A red dot, not even lying. Its like you're cheating at skeet and trap with one.

Thanks, so it's the same spring loaded system where the part keeping it in place is somehow moved out of the way. It's quite annoying, because there are six million videos about replacing ejectors, but not a single one shows how it works.

What do you think, /k/? I really wanted problem solver. yeet cannon sounds like a dumb facebook fadmeme that will be forgotten in 2 weeks.
Could anyone refer a good guide to cleaning a CZ75B? It's the only fun I have so I don't have a lot of experience cleaning firearms and I want to make sure I'm doing a good enough job keeping it maintained as it was fucking expensive and it's really nice and I don't want to do it disservice. I'm just afraid of spraying cleaner into the wrong cranny or doing something retarded that I definitely shouldn't be doing.
You don't need anything specificโฆ It's not some snowflake that you need to take extra care of certain parts. And you don't need to go in depth like to clean out your magazines every time. Just every once in a while is good.
You might want a pick to get by the firing pin block though. Tight spaces and all.
I was disappointed. Yeet is some dumb nigger saying that the zoomers started saying. At least Problem Solver was making fun of nig who thought he had a glock

Revolvers are mostly a range toy today, though like black powder if they're what you've got you can get some use out of them.
Modern designs have outclassed them in ease of use, capacity and in some cases durability.
Revolvers probably won't die because of pocket carry alone. As the Hungary poster who replied to you made out, the pocket revolver is super stupid simple, packs a lot of firepower in a small frame where auto loaders also have low capacity, is vastly superior in terms of street condition reliability (especially with people who don't clean their guns), and the fact you don't have to worry about what shape a bullet you put into the cylinder, unlike the auto loader. It will still be a choice in that category for both professionals and less serious conceal carriers.
Hunters and serious gun guys will continue to use revolvers because of versatility. A revolver can shoot just as well with super light target loads as it does with maximum power loads; a S&W 29 will shoot a 180 grain cast bullet in a 44 Russian cartridge at 700 fps as well as it can fire a 300 grain bullet at 1,000 fps. Handloaders have almost unlimited range, between squib and overpressure at least. Flat nose cast bullets have no problems in a revolver, while the wrong ogives will give auto loaders big trouble. The revolver is also capable of far, far, far greater accuracy out of the box for a standard gun than a combat style auto loader because of fixed barrel. Big cartridges and big power are no big problem in the revolver, pistols want to keep OAL down on cartridges to get them to fit the grip, shorter the better, revolvers don't have this issue. All of this means serious casters, handloaders, hunters, shooters have very good reasons to use them.
They are a cheap gateway into bullseye shooting. An NRA study from several decades ago established the potential for off the rack COMBAT S&W and Colt revolvers to achieve 2.5-3 MOA using cheap Bullseye gunpowder and cheap lead swage bullets in 38 Special. People who talk about how 9mm Luger can be accurate bring up the fact that "muh expensive super match pistol with super advanced handload specifically designed for it can be accurate too" gloss over the fact a guy with a $300 police surplus Model 10 from Buds Guns and a cheap generic handload or match load off the shelf, not designed for the gun, can give him a run for his money! Cheap accuracy is where they excel to this very day.
Which leads to one more point on the combat revolver, they offer a cheap alternative to others for the purpose of a handgun that is both match accurate AND combat reliable. In order to achieve this in auto loaders, they must be custom made and built, usually better models with extremely high price tags. As mentioned, a retuned $300 surplus police revolver is combat reliable and match accurate, something you will never find in a similar price auto loader. A brand new S&W or similar quality offers a lot in this regard for the price you pay. There is a reason why the Manuhurin didn't die out so quick in special forces use.
> New projectiles and propellants might change the game though.
HA HA HA OH WOW. The only real revolution in gun powder in the last, what, fucking 70-80 years was better rifle powders that improved the capability of medium bore rifles and overbore rifles. Handgun reloaders have been using the same powders for over a hundred years in some cases, others are 80 or so years old, the newer ones are almost always knockoffs. Look at real factory loads and performance, there hasn't been, and there is no indication of, any powder revolution any time soon. If ever. Bullet design improvements are more important in regard to what you are mentioning, but even then there are limitations. You can only do so much with so much bullet and so much energy.
My points above are a counterarguement.
>zoomer meme that will be dead by the end of the year
>instead of the meme that has been around for years
cz 75's dont need to be babied, but this is a pretty decent walk through. you can clean it after every range trip, but you can also get away with just lubing the rails and maybe doing a thorough cleaning every 500 rounds.
Wanna build a gun range, should I offer a new service and open an indoor pistol range or open an outdoor range where there's one other competitor? besides the woods Local gun club is run by a boomer and sucks shit. NAProperty is marked poorly so going out to the middle of nowhere isn't always viable. Costs on running an indoor range around here might be too high compared to potential traffic, however.
>Handgun reloaders have been using the same powders for over a hundred years in some cases, others are 80 or so years old, the newer ones are almost always knockoffs.
The kind of revolution I'm speaking of would require actual new propellants, e.g. based on RDX. It's possible, but requires a lot of R&D, so curently nobody bothers with it. But he was asking about the world of 2129, and maybe we will be through one or two world wars by that time.
If you live in a place that gets snowy winters, an indoor range has a the potential to get lots of revenue. Especially if you make it ~50 yards or so, which allows people to do a bit of practice with their ARs and PCCs as well as pistols. You could also offer rental services to casuals, or people who want to fingerfuck a gun before buying.
>I could've cooked you a hot meal

Any NC dudes here? Where do you conceal carry? They have force of law and you could get in trouble if you carry into a place with no guns allowed and you get caught by a government enforcer. So where do you guys carry? do most of the time they ask you to leave if you are caught? or call police? Do you just ignore the signs? How often do regular conceal carryiers get caught?
I'm looking for a .22LR handgun to use for practice and target shooting, preferably with a somewhat longer barrel than your average handgun or something like a suppressor for nighttime funz. Any recommendations?
Yes I am aware that this sounds like I'm trying to assassinate someone, come at me feds.
Indoor ranges usually are unpleasant in my experience, too short and the concussive forces are unpleasant for an extended amount of time. It'll work as someone else stated, if you have cold as fuck winters, but if you only have one other competitor and that's a boomer ran range where "no rapid fire" is allowed or at least that's what I'm guessing, outdoor is the way to go. The outdoor ranges where I am suck and are either ran by boomers or cost too much, one of them requires you to register your firearm serials with the gun club to shoot
Ruger standard is what you're looking for.
i ordered a PSA lower with a Yeet Cannon rollmark for the lels.
yes, i spent $60 on a meme. fight me, poorfags yes, Problem Solver is funnier, but YC is still worth half a lel. blame a lack of streloks rousing the chan troops to votespam
Is the barrel long enough to have minimal flare without a silencer?
I planned on getting an FFL to rent and sell funs for funds. Looking at the costs, I might start outdoor first and see about building an indoor later
Yeah. Boomer range:
>no rapid fire
>doesn't send out keys to his patrons for months after changing the lock
>doesn't maintain the range
>dirt shooting platform
>cover from the rain only because someone else built it for him
>expensive membership fees
Serial registry is a new one though
Yeah it's some cosmic-tier boomer cuckery, a lot of people bailed from being a part of the gun club because of that rule. You probably can overtake his retarded business practices by just having better customer service and a better facility, just remember to advertise at local gunshows and gun shops.
out of curiosity, do any of you live in a no funz country yet still own a firearm?
Yeah. Some models some with a 7" barrel. They're accurate as fuck, enjoy murdering cans at 50 with impunity.
Any of your standard's will do the trick, Ruger MKIII/MKIV, Browning Buckmark all have threaded barrel options. Could go out of the way and try to find a Sig/Hammerli Trailside, they're ridiculous accurate and the triggers are phenomenal.
Dubs checked. Also I was a bit harsh in my reply,
but I think my point will stand even with the 100 year remark. Blackpowder dominated for 400 years with minor improvements, the smokeless era has seen many old brands remain popular for decades without any real challenges. Bullseye and Unique, both from the late 1890's, is still popular for handgun reloading to the point that Hogdgon got DuPont's old IMR line to reproduce a version of those two gun powders, along with 3 of the colored dot powders from Hercules/Aliant's line from the 1930's, so even new gun powders are copying 120 year old smokeless powder tech. Something could come along and change things up, but if one were to take the long bet that smokeless nitrocellulose and nitroglycirn powders have limitations and other limitations with cartridges might mean those current limits might be about it. We want to replace lead styphenate in primers, yet we can't do that either yet. For all we know, 2400, H110, Unique, Bullseye, et al will still be the major handloaders pistol powders. Maybe not, maybe the revolution in tech will come, but it won't.
Also dubs. Do they still make the Hi Standard target pistols? Get yourself an old one if they don't, they are a grade above the rest of the 22 target pistol line, if you want to spend the casho. The triggers are exquisite. Otherwise, what everyone else recommended.
What cartridge would make the most out of a longer barrel in the case of a PCC? I've seen charts before for rifle&intermediate cartridge muzzle velocity with a decreasing muzzle length, so surely something exists for pistol cartridges. I'm thinking something like .40 or 10mm would make the most sense. I feel like the typical reasons for using 9mm don't apply in the case of a PCC, namely felt recoil and mag capacity.
I mostly want to know this since at some point I'd like to build a PDW for home defense, basically an AR pistol w/ a brace. Using an intermediate cartridge indoors, in the dark, and with a shortened barrel seems like an awful idea though.
This isn't meant to be a "caliber war" question (I CC 9mm, so nothing against the cartridge), I just want to know which common pistol cartridges make better use of a longer barrel than others.
9x25 Dillon would be the absolute best cartridge for a PCC/SMG. Unfortunately, the only commercially available loadings for it are $1/round Hyper ammunition, which for most people is cost-prohibitive. 10mm isn't a bad option if you go for the full-power loads that are actually 10mm, and not just .40 in a longer case. There's a lot more autism in this vein over in the SMG thread >>628552 if you're interested.
Look at http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/
>Using an intermediate cartridge indoors, in the dark, and with a shortened barrel seems like an awful idea though.
Get a light, dumbass, and for the intermediate cartridge question, 556 is made to tumble you're fine shooting it indoors as long as you're mindful of what's behind the target and you get hollowpoints.
I meant that the flash is going to be aids and the noise is going to give you cancer. Plus out of a short enough barrel, .223 isn't going to be any better than 9mm in terms of energy.
>tumbling meme
.223 is not magic and will NOT tumble at low speeds, further destroying its potency through a short barrel.
Looking at the link given by >>680224, it looks like you're right about 10mm versus .40. It's incredibly dependent on the brand and manufacturer. The results from the buffalo bore ammo (which is kind of expensive but could just use that for defense) look particularly impressive. I'll check out that thread.
Good link, thank you.

A missed opportunity. You should have pushed Ghetto Blaster a lot harder. It's time to make that moniker official.
So years back some dude told me glocks are great for hitmen because the polygonal rifling in the barrel leaves grooves on the bullet that police can't effectively trace to a single firearm, as oppose to the sharp corners of traditions rifling. Is this effect still present in the new marksman's barrel on the new glocks or was it only true up until gen4?
That sounded like some kind of fuddlore to me but I looked a little more and your friend is right. It's more difficult to match boolits to specific polygonal barrels because there are no traditional toolmarks on polygonal barrels. You can still match casings to individual guns, though. And if you're a professional hitman that's A) a suspect in an investigation B) called to the witness stand and C) has your gun in police custody as evidence, you've really already lost, even if you end up going free. To the best of my knowledge, the Gen5 Glawks are still using polygonal rifling.
Yes, but consider you'd want to use a suppressor and most aftermarket threaded barrels have traditional rifling. A much simpler option for a hitman would be to have multiple barrels and hide the one used for shenanigans.

Fortunecookie is mostly a bullet caster channel, but still a great channel overall. He does a good job explaining a lot of points of reloading and internal ballistics. A lot of videos are repetitive, that's the nature of handloading projects. But he's worth a view, especially his more purpose made videos.

Depends what they're made of. If its reinforced on the front it'll last whatever abuse you throw at it.

does Kalashnikov Concern know something we don't?
they're releasing 2 rifles that are basically made for export towards civilians. I would assume that unless those have the possibility of going to America it wouldn't be worth the designing and manufacturing. They have also been really "hey america look at our cool new guns, we even let Larry Vickers try all of them" recently. their current mood just feels really marketing heavy.
Any recommendations for books on the Troubles/Irish Republicanism? I'm interested in everything from the revolutionary period to the more recent shit with the PIRA/INLA. Neutrality strongly preferred obviously.
On the m109 it's a travel lock for holding the heavy barrel in place to take the load of the hydraulic systems when not in combat. On the strv 103 the barrel is fixed and the whole tank body tilts for aiming and so it's just a forward grip for stability.

I've been thinking about foxholes lately and I stared wondering, why are there sandbags outside of the hole? I know they're the best at stopping incoming fire, or to be used to stabilize rifles on them but isn't the purpose of a foxhole to be concealed? The sandbags kind of give off your position. Also if the answer is because of head shot protection why not just dig the foxhole deeper?
This isn't applied to most foxholes but this is an example.
The dirt you dig has to go somewhere. With the sandbags or a dirt mound you get a higher wall without digging as far and you can always pile extra dirt outside your wall of sandbags for concealment. Without the sandbags you have to move the dirt you dug farther away or it can fall back in.
Dug dirt can be a different color and stick out by itself too.
Nothing has to be by itself.
Imagine you are in shitland and the water table is super, super high. You start digging in and 8 inches down you hit water. Do you keep digging to keep the hole as concealable as possible, or do you start to pile stuff up to make a barrier? There are torrential rains during the night and drainage can become an issue. What do you do when you can't dig deeper? When you may have already dug deep enough? Dig deeper into the soil, eventually in the right soil it beings to cave in on you or flow back in?
Static heavy defensive positions eventually lead to a situation where a better entrenchment is superior to a neat little foxhole. Your picture in post >>681625 is of a heavy built defensive dug out, not a foxhole. They are better off with a larger, deeper, better protected entrenchment here. In heavy assaults, you are better off with something large you can maneuver in, use heavier weapons, stock supplies and ammunition, ect. In a heavy assault on more open ground, your "concealed" foxhole won't stay hidden forever, and cover is more important than concealment.

I have a chance to buy a CZ 75 sp01 with 1000 rounds through it and 5 18 round mags. Any idea what price range i should look for or if i should stay away cause gun is shit or something?
Just to clarify, you're asking about the regular SP-01 (steel frame), and not the phantom variant (polymer frame)? Would probably guess about 400. Less if its the phantom, of course. I wouldn't bother with used if they want anymore than that, personally, as new can be had for under 600.
SP-01s are fantastic guns, they're just regular CZ 75s with a full length dustcover + rail, and meprolight tru-dot sights.

So I have this Ruger No1. I have started reloading my own ammo and I am trying different loads to see what works. Now, the front sling mount is directly on the barrel(like pic). If I mounted a bipod here would it fuck around with shot placements or just shift the point of impact slightly? I don't use bipods for hunting but I would like to get as accurate test groups as possible.
I'd stick to a proper bag if you're doing paper punching.
Damn. It got sold.
I found a Eibar for sale locally, .32WCF? I have NEVER heard of this lol.
Are you just hunting for a used pistol? Is there any reason you can't buy new?
.32-20, an old blackpowder round. Still loaded for antique SAA's and cowboy action shooters. It's a decent enough performer, but uncommon and basically obsolete.
Theoretically speaking, how would chainmail made of modern steel fare against fragments and bullets? I'm mostly interested in the former.
I've wondered this too, and I like how you are putting emphasis on fragments since they do the bulk of the killing. One thing you need to clarify though, is how is it linked? Is it riveted or butted? I can't see either holding up to much force. (Certainly not butted.) Could modern links be welded or something? Considering chain mail still exists for protection against knives yet sees no use for fragments/bullets would suggest to me it doesn't really do anything better than existing soft body armour.
Can you guys find what's wrong with this image?
Yeah. its called being under 21 but older than 18

Could somebody tell me the height of a Luger? All I know is that it's 222mm long, but I don't even know which barrel lenght that refers to.
I'm looking for a handgun round that can be paired to a lever action that in said lever action, would be strong enough to take down an elk within 200 yards. I'd be willing to get handloads going for it, if it meant giving it that needed power ; provided it wouldn't destroy the rifle. I've read that a .41 magnum revolver is cast from the same frames as .44mags, which means they have more metal to the frame. This should make them really able to withstand some particularly hot loads, but do lever actions work the same? I'd like to be able to 'dial it down' with some much lighter loads as well for smaller game and varmint. What's a good round that fits this bill?
44mag is good for Elk provided you aren't shooting past 150 yards. I've knocked one down with a standard 240gr softpoint, it didn't walk too far considering I smacked both lungs and nicked the heart. It can be loaded for pretty much anything bar moose.
>ywn own a revolver carbine chambered in 357 supermag, firing 38sp/357mag/maxi rounds with custom loads to get the most optimal setup on any game
>ywn pair this with your 357 supermag revolver in 5" barrel for maximum balance of carry-ability and accuracy
Same rant as above, but in 445 supermag.
Still researching 414 supermag, but likely the same rant.
Honestly, the 357 supermag sounds on paper exactly what I'd want/need. I smaller profile for getting long distance shots accurately, and with more than enough power and weight to put down anything in my neck of the woods.
Now that I think of it wouldn't .454 casull be a good combo as well?
200+mm is overall length, don't know which model they mean though. You could get a rough estimate of vertical height by overlaying a luger 90 degrees on top of another one and measuring where it ends.
the jump in revolver size of a 357 magnum to a 357 maxi/supermag is negligible (probably why they kept blowing up), whereas going from a 44 mag to a casull is a very noticeable upgrade, and not something that comes in a shorter barrell. The other big issue is that your "small" alternative is a 45 colt, which is neither cheap to fire, nor particularly reasonable to shoot at small game like rabbits. in a custom loading scenario, I'd probably just upgrade to a 460, since I've read those fire 44 russian loads, which seems to be much lighter. Haven't looked much into 44 super variants, as a 44 with a 300 grain bullet custom loaded to up the heat can do some real damage, just not necessarily accurately past 100 yards. I think Hicock called that load "a poor man's 45-70", but I think he said the same for his 45 colt loads as well in a different video.
44 Magnum is the true barrier of standard pistol cartridge and sub novelty super magnum. Truth is, most popular 44 Magnum factory loads are medium powered, because its more than enough to kill what needs to be killed in a revolver or a pistol caliber carbine. Its been kinda the notion that the only folks who use super heavy handloads for 44 Magnum are silhoutte shooters (who usually get sick of the punishment after enough rounds and years) and handgun hunters. Many 44 carriers use light 44 Magnum or outright 44 Special. The rifle can handle hot loads well, and the energy gain from the longer barrel is enough to kill what needs to be killed within the range that the ballistic coefficeint and killing range of those bullets can be accurate and ethical for hunting at.
tl;dr The 44 Magnum is still considered perfect, not because of Dirty Harry, but because its an inherently accurate cartridge that works well at low and medium power, and high power if needed, but even its upper limit is actually too powerful. If 44 Magnum's upper handgun power is excessive, that makes everything above and beyond hunter specific/meme grade territory. In rifles, the pistol sized bullets lack the ballistic coefficent and sectional density to be much good on bigger game, and still have problems shooting flat and accurate at range even as you crank up the velocity. Going above and beyond 44 Magnum simply offers little to nothing, except for serious hardcore handgun hunters. I'll give maybe a concession to the 500 Magnum simply because its size and possibility with weight of bullets can be in a category of performance on its own.
A 460 Magnum rifle? At some point, kids, we just have to be honest with ourselves and buy a fucking 45-70 gubmit, or a 35 Whelen, or even a fucking 30-06. At some point we're better off with a real rifle, rather than trying to keep pumping up a pistol cartridge with light for caliber bullets to do something its not good at. A 30-06 with 220 grain soft points is a better alternative, anything 35 Whelen, anything 45-70, hell another old school cool option for lever guns is the 38-55 Ballard. I've killed a deer with my 375 H&H with cast bullets and tamed loads, putting in in league with super magnum handgun power, albeit with better BC and sectional density.
I like your guys's thinking a lot of the time, and I agree on some of it, but there are good reasons things are the way they are.
I agree with you on pretty much all of this. My intention was to to be ablet to theoretically load anything on hand into either of my guns. I felt going over 44 mag was counter intuitive to my scenario of mostly varmint hunting, while ocassionally getting a deer or elk. I don't like the idea of having 3-4 guns to cover my weaknesses, and always feeling like the gun I'm currently traveling with, isn't the ideal one for what I intend on killing. Just earlier I ran out hearing dogs barking near my coop, only to find out my 357 lever action that I had been practicing with wasn't needed for a dog dispatch, but I did have a ground squirrel come out near my house that I would have popped if I had my air rifle or 22lrโฆhell, even in 38sp, but I didn't feel like going deaf over a squirrel shooting 357. I changed out my ammo to 38sp, and put an ammo sleeve on the stock with some 357 just in case, but my point is I'd prefer my "ideal" setup to cover all my weaknesses.
I found out taurus makes a variant of their judge called the raging judge, which fires 454/410/45c. If they ever put that revolver carbine into action with that setup, I'd think you couldn't ask for a better setup for my sort of living (I'd probably go just normal judge on the revolver).
Anyways, you're right but not necessarily correct in saying how others should or should not prefer their weapons. I think having two guns that you know how to handle well beats having 3 or 4 you have to adjust to each time.
I've used my 357 Magnum 1894ae for general hunting, tried 38 Special and just plain high power 357 Magnum, just eventually stuck with the magnum loads. At some point the 38's will work here and there, but sticking to one load will make sure your dope never changes. 158 grain magnum soft points tear animals to shreds, but it always shoots nice and flat, too. Lately been doing more the Tommy gun for skunks and whatnot, being subsonic, but it would be fun to whip out the old lever gun again.
AmmoSeek sez both Federal and Remington offer there classic, old as the hills heavy bullet soft point 220 grain loads from the factory. Remington can be had in the US for $0.65 a round (before shipping rape).
Guys is there an one hand/short sword that you could recommend to me?
I found the Scorpion Swords Tactical Wakizashi which is hand made and looks amazing but with the sheath and international shipping the price is probably above 300 bucks. A bit painful :/
You are in Danemark, can you go to the local HEMA club and ask for shortswords or something?
And tbh, just get a good machete.
I'm not in Denmark, that's a VPN.
Idk if a machete would be as good as a quality sword at slashing kebabs, that's the thing.
What's a good machete anyways? I looked at the Cold Steel machetes and they look really cheap and their edges look terrible.
Just check your local knife store.
Me I use my locally made one with a wood handle, no brand.
>rough estimate
Thanks, so I guess it's around 100-120mm then. So a pistol with a Luger-style grip is inherently lower but longer than one with a less slanted grip. I wonder how that impacts concealed carry, because as far as I know most people don't mind the overall lenght of a pistol, the problem of concealment comes from the lenght of the grip.
>200+mm is overall length
I know, but a longer barrel also increases the overall lenght. I guess the 222mm is for the version with the 100mm barrel.
> Many 44 carriers use light 44 Magnum or outright 44 Special
I've read that hotter .45 Colt is nearly the same as milder .44 Magnum, and that beats .44 Special. Wouldn't that make it good enough for a carry gun? If we ignore the price, of course.
I bought several boxes of Sako bonded soft points in 220gr just over a month ago. so I'd say yes.
I think the reasons that a lot of 44 carriers carry 44 instead of 45 Colt are a few. People who like to carry compact, which is common in the modern era as the revolver is displaced by the autoloader for duty carry, or as a backup to a duty gun, will choose a smaller frame big bore revolver like a Charter Arms or even a medium frame revolver like a S&W L frame or Ruger GP. They can get a 5 shot 44 Special/Magnum into a smaller gun that you simply can't get with a 45 ACP or 45 Colt. 44 Special, especially, won't die for this reason for conceal carry, because 45 Colt is literally out in the cold here.
As for full frame 44 Magnum or old fashioned large frame 44 Special carrying people, which includes myself sometimes, you have an extremely good question. The 45 Colt is slightly bigger and bigger size helps do better damage, means an expanding bullet starts off larger and doens't have to expand as much to gain the same final expanded diameter. I'm sure this is what you are after, and its something to consider. "45 Colt is objectively superior to 44 Special or Russian" is a solid statement.
I think the reason why some of us still carry 44 Magnum is the fact that we can safely use medium power loads, not too powerful to handle in combat, yet powerful enough to give us an advantage we are after, that we can't safely get out of a 45 Colt "cooked up" in hotter loads. You want to carry a S&W N frame revolver, and want big bore performance in the 300-500 ft. lbs. of muzzle energy range? Maybe consider getting that Model 25 Colt 45. Want a big bore and have a muzzle energy 600-900 ft. lbs. because you can handle loads in that area in terms of recoil and blast, you better stick with the Model 29 44 Magnum. The 44 in this case is super safe and well under maximum loads to get what you want, the 45 Colt is pushing the limits till they break.
As for the 45 Colt itself, if you want to carry a large frame revolver its probably one of the very best. Top notch, with expanding bullets, and if you must use non expanding bullets its one of the very best. Even as a revolver guy, I think the SAA is obsolete, but the cartridge itself in a modern revolver is a big, but extremely capable and respectable choice, for self defense.

Since I live out in the country, I carry my rifles on a daily basis, even if all that is is walking around the large yard or between houses on the property. I noticed that my neck started to hurt, and I carry my PTR91 with the H&K leather strap, around my neck for ready purpose, as its intended. I do manual labor, I lift weights, so other things may have contributed, but I could tell that when I changed to shoulder carry and laying off the rifle for a while altogether or changing to other rifles with shoulder only slings, my neck started to hurt less. Soโฆ..
I don't suppose anyone else has any experience with this, or any military reports on two point slings and stress around the neck when carried a certain way? Or does all the heavy shit the modern heavy infantry carry in service means they can't trace down what things cause service non combat injuries like neck and back problems? Anyone else have any issues with the way they carry their rifles?

I hope you're talking about the furniture and not the receivers. and people will bully you even if it's the furniture. You're going to have to be more specific as to how cheap you want it to be; if you don't want your lightweight rifle to snap like a twig in adverse circumstances you're going to have to pay a good bit of cash.

Yeah, no meme materials for you with that budget. Check out the Aero Precision Atlas handguard for conventional aluminum that's on the lighter side but still strong. If you don't mind people bullying you and calling you an InterracialTV shill, the GWACS lower might be up your alley. If not, check out the Skeleton stock that Double Star makes. If after you've priced everything out you somehow manage to be ~200 under budget, check out Smoke Composites for carbon fibermeme furniture. Faxon barrels are the lightest out there and they're a good company, I'd check them out as well.
machette is just a falchion without a handguard. it has been a peasantry weapon for centuries because it is cheap to make because lol 1 edge
just grab the cheapest one or the one you find fancy and smash a handguard if you actually plan on fighting someone that has melee weapons too. or you can learn krabi-krabong and ignore handguard entirely
why would you do that? chainmail has been always inferiorto pretty much every other type of metal armor. lames, plates, scales, brigantine are all better at stopping attacks then it is. the only thing in which it was better was coverage. mind you, that is pretty fucking important. i will let you guess how many romans died to wounds to their unarmed legs
This, there's no point in getting a costly machete if you want to slash people with it.
A hammer or a steel pipe is more than enough to kill nigger.
I argue a long steel pipe is actually more dangerous than a machete due to reach.
>the only thing in which it was better was coverage
That's exactly why I'm interested in it. If you had to cover someone from head to toe in flak armour, then how would you go around it? Mind you, it should be light and easy to move around, but you still have to protect the neck and the legs. And you have to cover the front and the back equally, because it's useless if the wearer lies down to the ground only to be ripped apart by airbursting HE.
> it has been a peasantry weapon for centuries because it is cheap to make because lol 1 edge
Objectively untrue, there's nothing cheap about a falchion, and making the blade single-edged doesn't change a thing price-wise. It was a knightly weapon designed to fight unarmored enemies.
>lower length and thinner (on average) thus lower material use, single edge needing less time to smith dont affect price
yeah ok
full coverage on modern body armor will never be viable because it woud be just too heavy to move in comfortably. and mail would just break on the links probably. would need lots of testing

I picked up what I think is some sort of spanish mauser 1928 maybe, based on the receiver stamp, for 50 bucks. Problem is, the things been bubba'd fairly significantly. I figured i'd use it to practice bluing and jeweling, but I have no idea what the caliber is.There's no markings anywhere on the gun aside from some errant proof marks and a serial number. Since it's been sporterized it could have been re-barreled. I want to say it's 7x57 but I have no idea and i'm not really keen on slotting shit I have lying around. Is there a better way to figure out the cartridge?
>inb4 tie it to a tree
Why did the USA ditch the m9? are the modern soldiers to weak to carry a metal handgun? I just hope it's not because of "2 rounds more!"
muh mod-jew-larity, although i'm not sure why a service handgun needs to be modular, or what would be modular on one of those pistols considering they're all only a few moving parts.
I don't think anyone ever liked it. Its fun to look at how people who served with it give you their experiences with every weapon they carried and used, you will get a lot of bad information (personal attachment and propaganda fed to them by the State to love the weapon and this leads to false positives), as well as good information, take the averages and composite to find the truth closest to truth. When the lovers of the thing are honest about negative attributes, than they are usually real.
The issue withe M9 is the fact that nobody who served with it seemed to like it. That when you went for the natural, unguarded reactions it was always "ewww" by those who had to use one. That it was generally unliked and looked down upon. As popular as the 1911 was with those who served with it, the M9 seemed to be disliked by those who carried it. Rare to hear a positive comment, or to see any type of fanatical loyalty from those who served with it like so many other weapons.
I think a lot of soldiers were glad to see it go. Remember, it was adopted purely because of political deals to get a US Air Force base in Italy.

>why is zog buying guns from Sig Sauer CEO Ron Cohen?
Because some pentagon full bird needed his star for a good retirement and pushed for the stupid buzzword-worthy 'Modular' design, in this case meaning 'drop the trigger group and throw it in an entirely different gun' style of modular.
The Glock G19X and the FN 509 Tac were the only serious competitors, and it should have gone to the FN, but for some reason they're on the outs with the USG at the moment, and heaven forbid anything get picked on it's actual merits.
There was the issue with frame/locking block cracking, even if that was simply because unit armorers were too stupid to record round counts and replace the recoil springs at regular intervals.

Everything is expensive, every piece of milsurp has been shoved up the owner's ass like a dildo at least once, haggling unless you look like a veteran/old and crusty jackass is impossible. Also people at the taser table will not stop zapping the air so get used to the sound.

Expensive as in Cabela's pricing.
Half the people there are licensed FFLs so MSRP is going to be pretty common for anything new but everything else is retards wanting a profit on a used and abused piece.
>expensive
nonsense, there's tons of good deals at gunshows and most of them are far cheaper than cabela's. The issue is you get the gun snobs in there who'll throw up their winchester that's been used to shovel shit for the last 50 years, put a picture of a cowboy next to it, then sell it for 3 grand. ARs have always been expensive so it's no surprise they still cost a fair amount at shows but conversely they cost a lot less than in stores. A 1200 dollar AR at a shop is usually around 800 at a show. As a collector of bolt actions and old shit shooters I usually never pay more than 150 bucks. I bought my carry pistol, a charter arms bulldog in .44spl, for 250 bucks and that was only two years ago. The trick to haggling isn't to lowball them, the trick is just to knock a few bucks here and there off. In WA for example, you gotta pay 25 bucks to get the gun transferred so you can try and knock that off. If you know you need to fix something with the gun and it's not significant like replacing the sights, knock off 30 bucks. The best time to go to a gunshow is on the last day of the show, sure all the show stoppers are gone but now you got a ton of deals and desperate sellers looking to off load. 3 years back I had a guy sell me 6 arisakas for 300 bucks because the show was ending in an hour and he didn't want to carry them to the car. Granted two of them were bubba'd but the rest were perfectly fine with some expected stock gouges. That might be an edge case scenario but it's not uncommon to buy a gun at a show for ~100 dollars, just don't expect to buy an AK or an AR.
The issue here is anon went to a show without any common sense in tow, got suckered into buying some garbage rod for a huge markup and now assumes everyone there are snakes. Most of the folks there are genuinely nice people, the fudds keep to their corner and the snobs go without sales because no one is that retarded.
I'm not reading that shit, kike.
There's really good jerky at gun shows.

But yeah, expect the guns to be overpriced.
ok, retard
M9 was issued with shit mags because of gov demands initially, and the company making the mags said the changes the gov demanded were a terrible idea. This left a bad first impression.
It's expensive but you can at least haggle and you're sort of expected to. Just don't Jew them. Also your boomer dad is retarded, that's only with FFLs in accordance to federal law, private sales you'll be fine to buy a handgun at 19 unless there's weird state laws that say otherwise.
>there's tons of good deals at gunshows and most of them are far cheaper than cabela's.
No, sure there's always exceptions to the rule, but damn near everything is overpriced to haggle.

Its a handloaders cartridge and people aren't willing to pay for factory loads that performs similarly to x39. If you're that interested in the cartridge just build/buy yourself a standard AR and swap the barrel, SBR/Get a can if you're so interested.
Does anybody here have any info on establishing and maintaining discipline in guerrilla forces?
It used to be more true when it was newer and factory ammo was much more expensive. Costs have come down, and memeout has found itself a nice niche with SBR and pistol ARs. One must remember that manufacturers are shitting out new memerounds constantly, and most fade into irrelevance within a year.
Why has nobody made an anime girl based of bouncing betties with big tits
At full power its around the old Soviet 7.62x39, its main purpose is subsonic work with a suppressor. Problem is, its terminal performance is not that great with subsonic rounds, and the super heavy bullets for caliber that were being promised as the big ticket to the effectiveness of the round have had problems with stability at those sub sonic velocities (220 grain will have issues at longer range even with a fast 1:7 twist at those velocities) so there are issues with it. I've stated a few times, 45 ACP out of a 16 inch barrel is subsonic and far more effective on tissue than a 300 Whisper, even if 300 can penetrate soft body armor or potentially some barriers better.
45 hollow points are better than a 230 grain .30 caliber bullet tumbling at those velocities, even at higher velocities. 30 caliber bullets that do expand at those velocities aren't that impressive and are inferior to 45 hollow points, maybe some 45 solids for that matter. To fuck the sub sonic crowd in the ass is the fact we never got our suppressors deregulated anyway, so some of the potential isn't realized.
Its not a bad idea, or a bad round, it has potential. Its the fact that those obsessed with sub sonic close range might find cheaper and more available alternatives. I'm just going to keep shooting skunks with my Tommy gun, I already own it, and with XTP's or even hand cast bullets its pretty effective on small game anyway. As for home defense, there are similar issues.
I'd like to see the cartridge succeed, yet I see it as being a tough road to hoe, and one could say that what I've written on the subject isn't helping. But I speak truth, to let things be known, not promote.

Because the navy is all about their diversity cocksucking, and whether or not you can swim doesn't really matter if you're most likely just going to be stuffed into an administrative role to prove a darky or someone with a vagina (preferably both) can be given important jobs too :^).
As for the dumbo nignogs in particular that join knowing full well they'll have their non-swimming monkey asses dunked underwater in basic training, the navy is probably the best branch outside of the air force in terms of gibs and general work place stress because someone yelling at you for being an incompetent fuckwit is a raycis no no. Also the air force seems much harder to join because of red tape alone, despite being as pozzed as the navy.
As for the muhreens that branch has been aimed at the dumbest retards they can find to serve as meat shields since at least Vietnam, and since niggers fit that bill perfectly you can kinda see why there's a lot of muhreens who can't swim.
As for the coast guard I was unaware they had that problem. I was under the impression they're an even bigger pain in the ass to join than the air force.
For non-nigger people who join and can't swim its most likely for gibs in the navy's case, and in the marine's case a lot of morons join because they want to prove they're hardcore or because of patriautism. Also you get gibs on top of hooting like an ape and pretending you're protecting murrica by shooting at inbreds in sand castles.
How practical are ballistic visors? How do I determine if one visor is better than another? I'm seeing a wide range of prices and not a lot of 3rd party reviews.
Few are rated to stop direct hits from even pistol bullets, pretty much none that you can afford and comfortably wear are going to stop rifle ammo. They're more for protecting the face and eyes from fragments and thrown objects, which is still important. Remember that more soldiers were killed by artillery and bombs in both World Wars than b y small arms fire. Rocks can be nasty.
None can stop rifle ammo. The most expensive visors out there are rated for .44 magnum
Shot a gun for the first time today, I'm fine with 22LR and 38 special but I could barely handle the recoil from the 9mm, they were all handguns. What calibers should I try in a rifle? Also loading magazines is a real pain in the ass, had a lot of jams/misfires in the 3 semi autos too (4 jams out of ~200 rounds). Is there a loading mechanism that doesn't necessitate an autistic level of maintainence that has a capacity greater than 6? I'm not much of a gun enthusiast, my goal here is to buy some guns that are easy to use that utilize the most common ammo types to prepare for the collapse then mostly forget about them outside of shooting them once a year. I'm not saying I won't maintain them at all, but I want them to be able to go a couple decades without needing replacement parts. Any suggestions?
Was the 9mm a small gun? Were the jams with just the .22?
The answer for the rifle is an AR-15 and it sounds like you could be just limp-wristing the 9mm. If it wasn't a full sized handgun try one because I don't know anyone who isn't perfectly fine with 9mm out of a full sized handgun, especially a steel framed one.
.22s can be finicky and small guns snappy.
The 9mm was a Glock 17 which did jam, the recoil wasn't unbearable and I think I could get used to it, I just wasn't able to keep it consistently on target when shooting quickly (about twice a second).
At least practice unholstering and pointing you fucking faggot
Should I pick up a M1911 for $524? I'm having second thoughts and I want other people's opinion.
If you want ease of use for a new user you want a revolver period. The handle is more ergonomic and instinctively shoots in line with the forearm, which makes it easier to use for a new guy. An automatics grip and recoil is something you have to train hard to handle properly, and of course its more maintenance intensive, more parts to know, more parts to lose etcโฆ
Tradeoff to lower capacityfor a revolver is being able to fit longer casings and more powerful rounds, its a pretty good fucking tradeoff.
Otherwise get a tokarev.
Why are you getting it? If it's a range toy that you're buying out of historical appreciation for a pistol that was very good for its time, sure, why not. If it's because you think .45 AARP is THE CARTRIDGE THAT WON TWO WORLD WARS and you're considering it for a serious self-defense role, consider other options. Whether or not this particular gun is a good deal is going to depend on other factors, since there are 6 million different models named "M1911" on the market right now.

Vid related.
>The handle is more ergonomic and instinctively shoots in line with the forearm
No.
>An automatics grip and recoil is something you have to train hard to handle properly
Unless it has an insanely high bore axis (Like a revolver) an autoloader will have less recoil for the same power of carrtridge, and approximate weight of gun.. There's this thing called physics, perhaps you should learn them.
>and of course its more maintenance intensive, more parts to know, more parts to lose etcโฆ
I love you guys that have never, ever taken a sideplate off and just brought it to a gunsmith for cleaning.
>Tradeoff to lower capacityfor a revolver is being able to fit longer casings and more powerful rounds, its a pretty good fucking tradeoff.
This fuck can't handle 9x19, can barely handle .22, and you want to set him up with a .357mag or .44mag? That's a level of monkey strength retard I haven't seen since the last chimpout.
Revolvers are NOT a novices weapon. Simply because you look at the outside and your untrained eye sees less fiddly parts has nothing to do with the actual complexity and manual of arms. A revolver is a marksman's weapon for someone that can understand and appreciate having a wide variety of loads, and the capability to put them all to use.
For beginners using something bigger than a 22 pistol, the revolver is the best choice. You can shoot light 38 loads in a steel frame revolver using single action as a way to learn the fundamentals and basics of shooting a centerfire cartridge. Then graduate to heavier loads and double action. For novice conceal carriers, the revolver is also the best because noobs won't be tempted to carry an empty chamber like they will with auto loaders, and will function better with less maintenance by lazy new comers.
If you want to shoot handgun, start with a target .177 bb caliber rifled pistol and use real diablo pellets and shoot paper to learn basic fundamentals. Then after a couple of thousand cheap pellets, get a rimfire target pistol. Then work your way up to maybe a model of handgun in rimfire for further practice away from target pistols, or better yet get yourself a cheap 38 steel frame revolver and ladder up through light loads to heavy. Once you have done this, shot enough fundamentals, then its time for auto loader training. In my opinion.
could you have one in the receiver/magwell and carry three total inside the stock?
Do any door kicker types still use mechanical watches?
No. Quartz watches are better than mechanical watches in every practical way, including price.
Modern centerfires are not only small caliber, but low power, blast, recoil. They are light shooters, especially the 22lr which is really THE rimfire of choice. 22 pistols can kill, rimfire can kill, but they are still horrible choices for self defense. When we speak of centerfire we're talking about moving up to more serious handgun cartridges. Yes, 25 ACP is about the same as 22 lr in a rough sense, 32 S&W and 32 ACP are light shooters, too. However, rimfire is cheap and its main purpose is practice, centerfire, even the "mouse cartridges" like 25 ACP and the light 32's are more reliable and their purpose is more every day carry and more serious use.
No matter how much you like your S&W Masterpiece 22lr revolver, you will carry your 38 when the day comes, or use 38 even for more serious bullseye or other shooting. No matter how cheap your 22lr any pistol is and good for fundamentals because its cheap and easy, one day you will use centerfire for more serious practice and purpose. One is for cheap fun, fundamentals, squirrels, the other is for everything else.
The way that rimfire is primed and how cheaply it's made leads to inconsistencies. Like there can be voids in the priming compound in the rim that has it not go off. Then the very low power can cause semi-autos to be more particular with ammo and care.
That's not accurate for trying to aim. You should be able to get 1/4 that size.
This is like advising someone they need to start with a manual transmission before graduating to a more complicated automatic.
The automatic transmission is much more complicated to rebuild, and takes great driving precision to understand where its preferred / programmed shift points are and drive best to those pressure points.
Or, I don't know, you could start with the (semi) automatic, and after the idea of putting holes in paper at range is normal, and so is the idea of routine home maintenance, you could then graduate to the more subtle revolver, with the awkward handle, stupid-useless sights and odd cross-caliber rules, like how you could use .38 in your .357, but if you shoot .357 right after a speedloader's worth of .38 you'll need to take the gun to a vice and a hammer to get the spent brass out because the stock propellant for .38 leaves a sticky residue that glues the .357 into the chamber. (so, if you shoot .38, ''clean the cylinder'' before shooting .357; did you know that? No? Why are you skipping the starting step of shooting pistols and going straight to more complicated revolvers?)
IMO.
>This is like advising someone they need to start with a manual transmission before graduating to a more complicated automatic.
You keep assuming a complete novice is going to get into the esoteric world of handloading, or even read enough to understand light versus heavy loads, when you damn well know unless they're going to be a truly serious shooter they'll buy the cheapest shit off the shelf and just shoot that.
You're either disingenuous, hopelessly naive, or just retarded.
The revolver is more simple, you close the cylinder and pull the trigger. There is no slide, no safety, you can't have problems with riding the slide forward, problems with rounds not going into battery. Truly, the operation and concerns of the revolver are easier. Number of operating parts have nothing to do with this, so that's irrelevant. Also, one need not handload to get a wide variety of cartridges, 38 target loads are still for sale, often at very reasonable prices. More powerful standard rounds and defensive rounds are available from the factory as well.
Also, we try to give the best advice when possible. He should have a real life mentor and not trolls on the boards of the internet. If he goes to a club or hangs around more experience shooters, they can help him choose ammunition, or if he does not become reloader himself try to get someone to handload light loads for him, if he's serious and wants to learn that path.
This isn't something I'm looking to invest a significant amount of time into, I just want to get competent enough to deal with a methhead that breaks into my house.

Did you spend the last 20 years in a coma? Anyway, first it was about quickly changing the calibre, but since both militaries and civilians realized that it's way too much of a hassle to change the cartridge fired by an individual gun. Now it's about changing the barrel lenght. From a technical standpoint, hunting rifles already proved that you can make a rifle perfectly accurate even if it's held to the receiver by just a single bolt (the threaded kind). Especially if the bolt locks into the barrel, which is how it workson weapons based on the AR-15 and AR-18. And indeed, it's simpler for the manufacturer too, because you don't need a to trust your workers to thread in the barrel the right way, they just have to quickly attach it to the weapon and the zero the sights.
Don't think of it as a weapons platform, think of it as an individual transport. Fly high enough to avoid IEDs, but low enough to not be an obvious target. Bypass difficult terrain and walls.
Plus it can be used for night ops. Remember current enemies don't have night vision.

with earthquake season, plate carrier basically broadcasts 'i have food and water and first aid'
would a vest be easier to conceal from thieves than a plate carrier under a hoody?
Does anyone know what kind of helmet and ballistic visor the guy on the right is wearing? I've been looking all around but can't seem to get it pinpoint; I've never seen an "half" size visor before.
picrel is Estonian K Komando
Depends on the carrier, depends on the plate, depends on your body build, depends on your hoody. They make plate carriers that are concealable as possible, not big with the tacticool crowd because it lacks MOLLE and attachments, and even a conceal plate carrier might show depending on the things listed above, but its not impossible to have a plate carrier and plate concealed if you do it right. But, yes, a vest can be more concealable.
Looks like an ARCH high cut helmet, as for the visor I have no clue.
Does anybody have some first hand experience with .357 Maximum? Is it just a bit stronger .357 Magnum, or is it a significant jump, like e.g. going from .44 Magnum to .454 Casull?
Not sure if my meme talks from >>682751 got you interested, or if the world is just a small place, but I'm currently waiting on a barrel to complete my 357 maximum rifle. If you're curious about the specs, you can find info out on http://www.reloadammo.com/357max.htm
It talks about how to reload and powders as well, so it's a great resource.
I've read that in the revolvers offered for the caliber by both remington, and dan wesson, that you'll get topstrap cutting if you go under 158 gr and load them hot. I've also read from multiple sources that the topstrap cutting was only ever to .001", and after the initial scouring, never went any further, and the cone wore about the same as any other gun. I'd recommend staying at or above 180 gr for hunting, and just using lighter calibers for plinking, much like how most folks use 38sp in their 357.
If you just want something rare, it's not nearly as expensive as many other wildcat rounds to reload. If you're looking for something you can pair with your other .357 caliber guns, it seems like a great combo. If you don't have anything to pair with this round, I would recommend looking into the 350 remington legend, as it's the same round, but rimless. From everything I've read online, the 357 max is a substantial upgrade for hunting power, which is my intended use.
Off topic, but does anyone have a recommendation for ear protection that you can always have at the ready and in your ears in a second? I keep going outside, and finding a varmint in my field. Last time, it was a dog killing my livestock, and all I had was my 357. my ears still hurt. I want something that I don't need to fish out of my pocket, roll up and stuff into my ear. Those headband style foam ones wouldn't be a bad setup, but I've used them before and they don't seem to really block much noise unless you spend a lot of time adjusting them, and any bigger, and you can't wear them comfortably around your neck.
These things. No need to roll them and they come in a case plus they're corded. Just jam em in and go, they make pic related not deafen you.
Springfield Armory M1A for $1600 on consignment at a local sporting goods store. Good deal, or pass?
Why there isn't more APC/IFV = ะะขะ /ะะะ compromises? By "compromise" I mean a relatively heavy vehicle with nicer armament that can still swim.
Cabela's tends to put them on sale for $1650 brand new a few times a year, so unless it comes with a pretty good amount of accessories or something that seems high for a used gun.
Unless you're just hooked on the nostalgia, a decent older build FAL will run you about that on the secondary market and be a fantastic gun, and a PTR91 will run almost half that.

Is it okay or shall I say, "safe" to admit depression to your doctor? I'm sure they will ask if I have firearms in my house if I do. I mean when you're depressed I'm sure you think about suicide, but I won't ever do it but the thought does come up but it's a after thought. Because we'll for one if I blow my brains out I'm dead and it's over, I'm gone. Poof. So why the heck would I kill myself if it's the last thing I'll do, I have to fight to keep living, but I find that living is just a bit miserable and all tiresome. I'm just really tired.
So is it safe to admit or what? NC State if that helps. They do a mental background check to see if you been admitted or whatever when you get your Conceal Carry weapons permit, for some reason Boomer republicans passed. Bullshit. But that's about it. I think it's if you been admitted involuntarily or something. I don't know. I don't see why I need to be admitted but who knows how those people think.
What do I do? I want some help, I don't want some pills that white people take and be on anti depressants or some crazy shit, I can't even swallow pills.
Seriously, depression isn't a disease, it's a feeling. People who are diagnosed with it are either using it for pity points or are being used by the pharmaceutical companies to make drug money. The doctors stand to gain a lot more money from your repeat visits, too. Being diagnosed is beneficial only to the people who want to use you to get pity points ("my son is depressed, pity me") and to those who stand to gain money from it.
If you're feeling bad, get /sig/-pilled, go solo innawoods to think about shit, just get through this with your own power. You'll be stronger after you've overcome this.
(TLDR it is very detrimental to you to admit depression to your doctor)
It depends on the wording of the law and if they're going to change it. Whether it's involuntary commitment or commitment at all or even just taking pills. I can't say as I'm not from NC. Involuntary commitment means you have to be taken there by police or a court (ie not going to a doctor to seek help).
It sounds like you just want someone to talk to so you might get some guidance and meaning in your life. For that you don't even need to go to your doctor.
I was committed for alcoholism. In my state 3 years of no affliction and the whole thing is like it never happened, "privileges" restored. Got a conceal permit, renewed it five years later, both with background checks to the state government that had access to my records. Check your local state law about how the law will deal with this. Also, for a current gun owner, I don't think most states will do anything if you go voluntarily, doctors do this to keep people from being too afraid to ask for help.
Also, keep in mind >>684526 is correct in many ways, clinical depression might exist, but the two problems about "treatment" is 1. most of it isn't clinical like the other poster said, 2. even if it is clinical psychiatry in many ways is still in the dark ages trying to figure out how their drugs and treatments work, they don't know exactly how psychiatric diseases work nor how they effectively treat them. Keep in mind, for many people symptoms and behaviours will get worse, not better, with medication.
Talk to people who care about you, talk to clergy, talk to family and friends. Dark times come upon us all, sometimes toughing through and reaching out to trusted people is the only positive way forward. Wish the best for you.
Total Resistance by Hans von Dach.
It is a guerilla manual that was written in case the Soviet Union ever occupied Switzerland.
I'm mostly interested in this as a handgun cartridge for self-defence. That is, can we expect someone who moderately trains himself with firearms to learn how to handle the recoil and reliably hit a human-sized target? And would a .357 Maximum revolver actually give him anything over a .357 Magnum revolver? Of course we should assume that our theoretical man is open carrying his gun, because as far as I know those few .357 Maximum revolvers are playing in the big iron category.

Actually, the case is a wee bit longer, and the overall lenght is significantly more.
Did the Japanese Type 30 barrel use the same thread diameter and pitch as the Type 38 barrel?
Don't think they changed that when they upgraded the design in 1905. Don't feel like ripping apart either of my rifles to give you a definite answer.
After a more levelheaded search around a few sites, yeah that is too high. PSA has the same rifle for $1250 currently. A lot of it is nostalgia, as I have always been fond of the M-14 platform.
It is on consignment, along with 4 M-1 Carbines. Probably some old boomer fudd who knows what he's got. I may walk in there with a significant less amount of cash, and try to haggle down that way.
Thanks, buds
The very nature of the gun market, good or bad, is that prices stay high even for used guns. This also leads to moments where people want super inflated prices for old guns, seemingly insane more-than-brand-new prices sometimes.
If it is a "fully loaded", whatever the fuck SA means by that, maybe there are other options worth the money, grill those guys on that, but I doubt it. If its a national match then yes. Super match then yes. The usual price at my local city's big name brand was $1,600 for a usual brand new back in like 2012, and I got mine with an old sticker price at $1,500. Normal GI guns I think are at their cheapest for decades, so it sounds a bit funny.
>ackshually
I don't wanna mince hairs here, but in order to get it to fit into an AR compatible format, they used a different casing. I has a longer profile, but uses the same loads, the same grain tips, and executes these with the same velocities and penetration. It's the same shit, different skin.
As to whether or not a living human bean could handle the recoil in a revolver setup (what it sounds like you're going for), yeaโฆit's got comparible kick to a 44 magnum in a 10" barrel. It's got far less diameter to throw downrange, so the burn is gonna be much more efficient with the longer case, and you can load it lighter if you honestly plan on using it for self defense (just up your grain to 200, and enjoy the balance of a shot hitting your assailant at 1600fps with way hilarious knockdown potential).
I'll be completely honest with you however, you're wasting your money if you're just looking for a self defense gun. It's gonna be much bigger than a shorter barrel 357, it's gonna costs far more than most revolver offerings; you could get a very lightly used 44 magnum for substantially less. It's gonna be heavy on your hip, be a bitch to sit down, and ultimately you'll find yourself wearing it less and less. I'd just get a concealable 357 in a lighter frame, and keep some 38s available for range time. The whole point of going for a maximum is for the flat trajectory across long distances. This is the biggest boon, and one you wouldn't even get to utilize since you'd be shooting at much closer distances than what it was designed for. If you feel a 44 isn't enough protection, go to a 454 instead. You'll probably be paying comparible prices at that point tho.
Why is excessive freebore detrimental to accuracy?
Accuracy comes from consistency. Having more freebore than necessary creates more opportunities for the bullet to develop inconsistencies in its path. It might engage the rifling at a slightly different point, or develop a bit of inertia in the wrong direction that isn't fully counteracted, or what have you. It's usually a very minor detriment to accuracy, and few people outside of benchrest shooters worry about excessive freebore.
Okay, thanks. I am wondering about the viability of having a family of CTA cartridges of varying lengths like with shotguns. I'm thinking that it might ease logistics a little as a weapon could fire any cartridge shorter than it's class. For instance an assault rifle could use the pistol length cartridges and a machine gun could use intermediate cartridges etc. This would be a nightmare for twist rates so I suppose a smoothbore barrel would be needed and would side step the free bore issue entirely. What do you think?
Everything you just wrote is dumb, and only goes to show how little you understand firearms.
So it would work, but it's a hunting cartridge first and foremost. Thanks.
If you are using a floating chamber, then there are two problems: gas seal and seating.
>gas seal
There is a gap between the chamber and the barrel, just like in a revolver. CT seals it the same way the Nagant revolver does, that is, it fills the gap with material from the case. If the case is too short, then some of the gas will escape there, right into the action.
>seating
You have to hit the primer somehow, and for that to work it has to be in roughly the same place. If you are pushing cartridges with a different lenght into the action, and without adjusting the lenght they are being pushed, then shorter cartridges will just sit in the chamber too far away from the firing pin. Maybe you could construct the cartridge like in the Steyr ACR, and have a set of firing pins corresponding to all possible positions of the primer.
>But what if I'm using a more traditional action?
Then your shorter cartridges need to be either rimmed or belted.
There's a lot of retarded comments all springing up within minutes of one another right now. I'm willing to believe it's some random newfag who doesn't know dick about guns using a VPN, than I am to believe our streloks all just went full retard at the same time.
Sorry if that bothers you.
Unless you go full retard with the fancy ammo, and make every round a saboted warhead with stabilizing fins, having all of your bullets tumble in flight will be an even greater accuracy detriment than anything freebore might cause. If all you're trying to do is avoid twist rate problems I think there are simpler solutions available. First, remember that for combat-level accuracy, your only real concern is under-stabilizing bullets, not over-stabilizing them. So if you have a very fast twist rate optimized for heavier bullets, it should still be able to shoot lighter bullets just fine. There will be a loss in accuracy, but not enough to concern the average grunt. If the mismatch is really excessive, it's possible that the jacket will separate from the bullet mid-flight, and the bullet will subsequently explode. I don't think you'll face any problems like that, but I don't know your project too well.
So let's say you do face an issue like that, with very light pistol bullets exploding when fired from the GPMG. There's a way around this in that, while people talk about twist rate matching up to bullet weight, that's not actually the necessary match. Twist rate matches up to the bullet's overall lengthโheavier bullets are longer, so people often use weight/twist rate comparisons to match up. So, if you just make the lightweight bullets of a similar length to the heavier onesโperhaps with a hollow pocket in the tip, not unlike 7n6โyou would be able to avoid even the extremely niche exploding bullet problem. Also, listen to >>684642 , the Magyar brings up good points about headspacing and sealing the chamber.
What if you created a swinging-chamber design that sealed mechanically instead of using the cartridge? Say an O-ring on the chamber, plus a heavy spring pushing on it from the back. Alternatively, you could engineer a small lip on the barrel into which the chamber fits, and put the chamber on a cam track which forces it into the lip.

An important aspect of floating chamber designs is that they are supposed to be stupid simple, so they would be both cheaper and more reliable. I can't stop praising the Steyr ACR enough, because from a mechanical perspective it's about as simple -or even simpler- than the average gas-operated open bolt machine gun. And indeed, the chamber's position is equivalent to an open bolt. Yet, it has to travel vertically a relatively short distance, therefore the delay between pulling the trigger and the weapon firing is comparable to a closed bolt weapon, so it really is the best of both worlds with no downsides (in theory). Adding springs and whatnot just to fire ammunition not meant for the gun is inherently flawed, and you will only engineer yourself into a box of problems.

I remember there being an american(?) jet plane that would constantly sonic boom as it flew
It was discontinued, but it was a good plane from what I remember
Do you mean the Concorde? That was the only commercial plane to be supersonic.
It wasn't that
It was a military plane
It was like the f22 raptor
I think it might not have been a jet, it might have been a propeller plane hybrid, could have been the XF-88 Voodoo
I don't know
The pictures I saw were black & white
I just remember there being a thread a few years ago & in the tread a lot of anons were talking about a plane that would produce a constant fuckload of sonic booms
They'd apparently use it against the vietnamese or something, breaking windows & giving headaches
Its kinda like the SLAM, how it would be used to harass via the sonic booms

Just bought Mauser, bore is shit. Restore, keep as-is, or sporterize? Leaning restore.
Doubt the bore is as bad as you say unless you've been to the range with decent mauser chow. Have it properly rebarreled if you're going the restore route, leave everything else be.
It's not a German weapon. It's Israeli, and it has quite a bit of pitting inside the barrel. Not at all shiny, and the grooves and valleys aren't as defined. I am heavily leaning restore specifically because it's so cheap to do. Israeli barrels go for $90USD.
The thing is, should I re-finish the weapon and stock?
If you are thinking of sporterizing it, find a good rope and a rafter, tie a noose and attach the other end to the rafter. Now, I don't condone suicide, so don't hang yourself. Just think about it a while.
If you want a sporter rifle, buy a new action and build a gun up. Little secret about Mausers is that WW1 guns and before are made of soft steel and on old machines and aren't that great, most WW2 Mausers are of better steel but not as good as post WW2 steels and were often built in haste and often by forced labor and were of shitty quality. This ain't the 1950's where those guns were falling out of the sky and could be had for peanuts, there is no reason anymore to sporterize a military bolt action gun EVER AGAIN. Not only is it destroying a piece of history, desecrating a great rifle, destroying a diminishing amount of military Mausers and historic artifacts, they are a STUPID choice for making a nice high end sporter rifle in any case. The only reason left is "Muh granpa sporterized one in the 50's cuz they were abundant and cheap and I just do things cuz I heard someone else did it" and that's a shitty reason.
What you have, in my overbearing and pushy opinion, is a great choice for a complete restoration instead of a conservation. Anyone with a good bore and beat up rifle is under real pressure, either from duty to the rifle itself or market forces, to conserve the rifle as is. A bad bore means you have the ethical, and market if you choose to resell it, chance to strip the entire gun down and do a thorough refinish of the stock, refinish of the steel, and the benefits of a brand new modern production barrel.
You don't have a duty to CONSERVE the rifle as is anymore, but I think you have a duty to RESTORE the rifle and actually have the leeway a complete, back to mint brand new rework job for a "factory new" finish. One last time, this is for everyone in an open global forum, sporterizing is bad taste, borderline unethical if not absolutely unethical, and a retarded choice for people who do want a great hand built personalized sporter.
That's actually what I'm heavily leaning on. I really want to shoot it, and I just can't if it's going to suck ass. At least if I restore it, it will shoot and look the part as well. Definitely gonna restore it now.
Rebarrel it then.
I meed to replace a m1 barrel cause its broken. Shoul i go for stock or should i go for the meme 308 conversion with a spacer?
Also which one would be better for shtf? Im guessing maybe the 308?
Don't bubba an M1, even if it's a repro keep it chambered for .30 carbine like God intended. If you want a .308 rifle for SHTF there are better (and probably cheaper) options than a frankenstein'd M1 carb.

Hi guys. I am trying to optimize the firearms I have into a relatively small handful and I would like to hear your thoughts. The philosophy behind my firearms is that I want to have the essentials to cover the widest range of practical situations, as well as provide practical enjoyment in common / NATO calibers.
I have:
-16" AR15 with a 1-6 LPVO
-Ruger 10/22 in a folding stock with a red dot
-Polymer 80 G17 with Streamlight
-Walther P22
Here's my issue. I like my P80, it's a great shooter but I would like to get a CCW but from what I understand CCing a "ghost gun" is asking to hang yourself in a court room if you ever had to use it in self defense, and I don't think you can even list it on a CCW permit. The Walther is small enough to CC but in my mind probably not powerful enough to significantly stop armed threats. One benefit of the P22 is it's a good survival / kit / small game hunter, but I don't know if I can rationally justify keeping it when the 10/22 does all that far better albeit in a larger and heavier package.
I live in the city. I am not really a fan of shotguns. I'm looking to optimize my current firearms and eventually add a 5th to my collection, probably either a .308 Bergara B14 HMR or a battle rifle.
Should I sell the Walther and pick up a G26 or G19 for magazine parity with my P80? Keep the current pistol setup, or something else entirely?
For starters, stick a 20 inch barrel on your AR15 with a 1:8 or 1:9 twist if you want to really get the essentials covered.
Your Polymer80 is useless if you can't actually use it for self defense barring home/property and you intend on carrying it. Using a .22 pistol for concealed carry is better than nothing, but you should avoid doing it outside of necessity.
I think the better thing to look at when considering a CCW is your climate and your size. A guy who's six foot four and lives in Maine can comfortably carry a much larger, heavier pistol under thicker clothing with less printing than a Californian manlet wearing skinny jeans.
If you want a more portable 10/22, try getting one of the takedown models.
I've been enjoying carrying my handgun on my hip with a leg holster, but it keeps pulling my pants down and sliding down the inner thigh. The position is perfect since I normally wear oversized/longer coats that cover my belt and get in the way so I really want to make it work but I'm having trouble planning out my idea to fix it.
First the problem of the 2 bands on the thigh slipping could probably be solved by sewing loops onto my jeans. I only wear one or two pairs so if this was the only solution I could come up with it wouldn't be that much trouble.
For the belt being pulled down itself I'm thinking of getting police duty suspenders so that the belt is held up by the shoulders rather than by the waist, but I don't know if suspenders are incompatible with a stab or bullet vest, plate carrier, or even basic chest webbing.
If anyone has experience with these types of holsters as well as plate carriers, as well as suggestions of what suspenders, belts, holsters, or carriers work best together I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
It's an FN rifle, produced by contract for Israel. Definitely not German.
Have an AR with a 16" barrel. Was thinking of getting a new upper with a 20" free-floated barrel.
What do I do with the 16" barrel upper afterwards?
I don't see why you can't build another AR, or keep it as part of a package so you can have a multi-purpose AR.
>What do I do with the 16" barrel upper afterwards?
Just put together a new lower with a rifle buffer tube, rifle spring, and rifle buffer.
16" barrels are a retarded meme on 5.56 guns, but most normie gunowners don't seem to understand that. Put the upper on Armslist or sell it to your local gun store to recoup some of your losses.
Can a carbine buffer group work with a rifle length barrel and gas system?
>gay-arr
Here's what you do.
-
Take your gun.
-
Go outside.
-
Find a nice hard rock, slab of concrete, or just your driveway.
-
Take your gun by the handguards likes club.
-
Beat the everloving shit out of it until it's a broken mess.
-
Throw it in the trash.
-
Write down a reminder to yourself to never buy shitty american guns ever again.
Alternatively, just sell your gun and everything you have for it and use the money towards a better gun. Although you'll probably get like $50 at best for it.

<hurr durr 56% mutt gun shits where it eats
Yes, you truly are a intellectual and a visionary. Now take your 5 million IQ and fuck off with it.
From I remember yes, but might as well get the shit well tuned for the rifle length gas system and barrel.
I have an idea for a modern armor suit.
>inb4 hurr no possible
Hear me out. This suit will be self supporting from top to bottom. It's structure will be in such a way that each segment or layer will be resting on the one below it.
For the segments themselves, the parts covering long parts of the body (ie calf, thigh, forearm, etc) will be made of two solid pieces of curved steel bolted together with 4 bolts at the top and bottom of the panels and on the left and right. As for mobile parts, such as the knees, waist, elbows, shoulders, it will be built in a similar fashion but "loose" in such a way that the others can move, kind of like old plate armor, kind of like a cuff, and somewhere between a joint and a bearing. It will also be immobile in such a way that it will rest on and be rested on by it's surrounding panels, and could stand on it's own.
For mobility, it would be fucking hard to move the easily 1 ton suit of armor. So it would need some kind of assisting hydraulic kind of device to assist in moving the parts of it, being a bodybuilder would also help.
The kind of steel used for it would be the closest or better to AR500 steel (the stuff they use in bulletproof plates) It would be as thick or thicker than those plates, and may even have a sub-dermal skeleton to assist in keeping it upright.
If it needs a battery pack, it could be put inside an armored box/pack on the back of the suit.
The suit of theory would be a literal juggernaut/ultra marine, which would be safe from all small arms fire, only really being vulnerable to AP ammo, large projectiles (cannons) AT rockets, high explosives, and vehicles. If designed properly it would probably be able to take a few blows from HE and vehicles too.
As for weapons you could simply use weapons of today, preferably something that won't jam, as you won't be able to do shit if it does, or by creating an actual wh40k bolter (which really is just the equivalent of an upsized 50.cal in a small arms platform)
It could theoretically also have a jetpack, although it would probably be one time use as it would be an ultra powerful rocket to get it going (landing howeverโฆ)
What do you think?

AR's were designed and intended to be used with a 20inch barrel and a rifle length gas system, along with a particular type of ammo. Using anything else for that caliber is wasting potential.

I have to lock my firearms in the armory, itโs pretty shit because Iโm stationed in a large metro area. I like to keep my handgun with me when I leave the base but it can be a pain, Iโve started just keeping my handgun at a friends house who lives in off base housing. Pretty simple to grab my rifles if I want to get to the range. A little bit of extra paperwork but nothing you canโt figure out or talk to your ncoic about specifics.
Don't be like that anon, I just mean't a kill-all bullet for an anti-matter small arms weapon.
Anyone have the version of this vid with some Brazilian hotline miami remix playing over it? Post it here or in the webm thread.
Stop, you are only making it worse! Anti-material rifles are special purpose or support weapons that are not widely distributed. And as the name suggests, they first and foremost are used to destroy enemy equipment. Bolters are literally the most basic of all space marine small arms, and they were designed against infantry. Yes, today they could rip apart anything sort of a tank, but we aren't living in a big joke set in the far future.

What makes Soros able to implement his policies in European countries? One thing I learned is their military chiefs wouldn't DARE making a move. I wonder what freaks them out so much about this guy? I'm talking about the very top, senior European military brass, their alpha dogs. Much of these policies are aimed at capturing wealth from their countries and redistribute it to US Equity shareholders and/or special interests. It would therefore be in their national interest to counter it but I can't see anything being done about it. In fact they seem to distance themselves from the idea as much as they can. Anyone could shed some light on this?
>muh Soros
He is just one man from the international financial รฉlite, not the whole system. He's not even the top dog.
>I'm talking about the very top, senior European military brass, their alpha dogs.
Why didn't muh alpha dawgs leading da muhreens dispose of the federal government of the USA already? Maybe becaus their whole lives are about serving this very same system that is controlled by the afromentioned financial รฉlite?
As for how the system works, just look up fractional banking. The tl;dr is that most governments are not in charge of their own money, and therefore they can't control their own economy, only influence it. Meanwhile moneymen like Soros are free to destroy their economy, therefore national governments try not to piss them off. Of course it would be quite easy to get out of this system if a government just decided to take charge of their country's financial life. But you can't win in a democratic election with that program, because this whole clown world will come together to keep away nazis like you from power. Even if you end up in power, they won't stop this. Eventually the USA will sanction you to hell, and they will also constantly threaten you with military action. Now, most of those tawp brawss dawgs are not the kind of visionaries who'd want to build an autarchy with enough military power to repell an attack from the USA.

Trying to get my first firearm and been searching on Armslist to avoid gun store prices. I found what looks to be a good deal, maybe too good of a deal (no photos of it for starters). what kind of questions should I be asking to minimize getting screwed over? All that comes to mind is asking how many rounds have been fired and asking for photos.
Igazรกn nincs mit. Remember, the world we are living in really is not that complicated, but all these simple things moving it are hidden, and it takes time and effort to find them.

Rocket propelled bullets are incredibly fucking stupid. There is literally no way for a rocket the same size as a powder charge to get a round anywhere near as fast as a conventional projectile that would be capable of penetrating ultra marine armor. Not to mention that this isn't the fucking CY+37981 where magic bullets magically work. IIRC, the size of the rounds from the lore were 75.cal which is 50% bigger than a regular 50.cal antimatter, add in some hot fucking powder and you get something that would be capable of taking on most modern armor, which at the very least would match up, or even be better than an ultra marines armor.
Space marine small arms were designed against armored opponents (things like other ultra marines, orks, and other generally hard to kill things). Lasguns however WERE designed to kill infantry, as anything that doesn't have even a slight bit of armor will have chunks blasted out of it, it won't however, do fuck all against an ultra marine who will hulk smash the faggot that shot him with it. Of course there are going to be weapons more powerful than a basic bolter (basic as in "can kill most things to some degree") that will be used when the bolter just doesn't provide adequate levels of dakka to shred your foes.
Is there any reason to use a red/green laser nowadays?
When we talk of frontal surface area, a 0.75 caliber has over double the frontal surface area than a .50 caliber. Same way 8mm Mauser (0.323) is actually over double the size of a 5.56 NATO (0.224). The difference between a 50 caliber muzzle loader and a 12 bore 72 caliber is HUGE. Just mentioning that 50% greater diameter isn't telling the whole story.
>50% bigger than a regular 50.cal antimatter

answered your own question
nofuns here. Just curious since I won't be able to get any in the near future anyway but here goes.
what is your opinion on the m1a/m14 versus the ar-10? assuming I end up staying in a nonfree state when I do get one, I had thought that an m1a would be a good option because of it's style of grip which makes it "featureless" and would be able to keep the 10rd removable magazine. but I just saw an "FRS stock" for the ar-15 and am wondering if something like that could be fitted to an ar-10. (https://www.thordsencustoms.com/frs-15-rifle-stock/frs-15-stock-kits.html) something like that.
I am under the impression that parts such as grips and stocks designed for the ar15 should fit on the ar-10. if so I have heard online that the ar-10 is the superior overall weapon because it's more easily modified, easier to find parts etc.
my assumption then would be that once I can obtain a rifle legally, I would go for an ar-10 with the "featureless" hunting grip type stock, and put some decent optics on it maybe 3x to 9x zoom or something and start off with that.
I'm not experienced at all here. anyone have any input on this? personally I initially would have liked an ar platform but then thought the m1a would be better and to be honest I think it's a little cooler too. but it seems that an ar style would be a better choice, perhaps even the ar-15 instead of the ar-10? any advice?
Things to consider, if you are going to be in an anti gun state and comply with the law, yes the M1a is the better choice. It is made for a traditional stock and made to shoot well with it. If you can't have a pistol grip it is a simple choice. Nigger rig stocks to make pistol grip standard guns legal are inferior.
"Easier to find parts". Parts made for M14's and M1a's will fit an M1a. If there was World War 3 or civil war you can use parts in a National Guard or even reserve army parts, armorer parts at police stations during a crisis. Magazines will fit all M14/M1a. They are standardized. AR-10's are the WORST for finding parts, there is no true standard AR-10 and many parts cannot be swapped, many use different magazines. If there is one argument to cast the AR-10 into the "no go" for militia choice and put the M1a into the "go ahead" for militia choice it is standardization. Being able to change out a thing here or there with AR-15's won't help you when you can't swap magazines or ESSENTIAL parts that matter.
By the way, modification is overblown. The GI rifle will suit most needs, a lot of mod market is just people buying shit, like a 15 year old kid working at a gas station to get a turbo charger for his car that he will never install. Essential parts are super important, all that Barbie doll shit is secondary.
If you are real nofuns, don't buy a battle rifle first with 3-9x optics. Get yourself an air rifle and shoot 10,000 pellets through it. Then buy a 22 lr and put 10,000 rounds through it. Learn from others, gain some experience, build some fundamentals. THEN start thinking about this.
Other way around. Generally speaking AR-10's you find are scaled up AR-15 and are shit for compatibility with one another whereas with your run of the mill AR-15 everything practically interchanges. Also the site you linked states those god forsaken abominations are usable with .308 guns.
A lot of M14's you find tend to need work done with em to make them run right.
huh. I was under the impression that the ar10 was basically an ar15 just chambered differently or something. looks like it's not what I was thinking.
>By the way, modification is overblown.
I'm probably one of those people that would get a ton of mods because they can't leave well enough alone. Probably an optic, a bunch of tacticool rails and accessoriesโฆ but really all of that junk is secondary.
>If you are real nofuns, don't buy a battle rifle first with 3-9x optics. Get yourself an air rifle and shoot 10,000 pellets through it. Then buy a 22 lr and put 10,000 rounds through it. Learn from others, gain some experience, build some fundamentals. THEN start thinking about this.
since air rifles aren't regulated the same way and only require one to be 18 or above that might be an idea. I wouldn't feel comfortable getting a firearm in my current living situation but perhaps an airgun may be okay. even more so if it were some sort of takedown model that could be stored and transported easier without having to carry a long threatening looking rifle bag or something. You wouldn't happen to know of any good takedown air rifles would you?
perhaps even a pellet pistol would be OK to practice with, or is it too far from the mechanics of a rifle to help? of course it would help if I ever get a handgun but that's not very likely I think.
I'm going skeet shooting for the first time soon as well, I'd be fine starting with a 12ga gun if I'm just going to be shooting birdshot, right? I'm a small guy but I'm not really weak. Also I suppose using a shotgun is more similar to a rifle than a handgun in some aspects.
looks like the 10 is probably not a great idea, so then it would basically be a 7.62 vs 5.56 argument comparing the m1a to the ar15.
>A lot of M14's you find tend to need work done with em to make them run right.
what kind of work? At such time as I'm willing and able to obtain an m1a I was thinking I would just buy a new one, and by that time I would be fine to pony up the ~$1200 for it. I don't think a new one would need work, right?
I'm not averse to working on things either, I don't have much in the way of tools but I consider myself competent enough to repair a variety of things.
>Also the site you linked states those god forsaken abominations are usable with .308 guns.
so would it work on an ar-10? not that it really matters anyway considering what I'm learning about the ar-10.
thanks for the advice lads
New M1A's range from 1700-3000 a pop and on the lower end tend to lack accuracy. Work meaning bringing it up to national match standards which tend to be everything from barrel to trigger work. Rifle pictured groups tighter than a nuns asshole anywhere from 0-600.

>Space marine small arms were designed against armored opponent
Do you have a single source to back that up? During the Great Crusade the legions usually had larger squad of 10-20 marines armed with only a single kind of weapon. The basic formation had bolters and was used against the enemy infantry. If they encountered enemy heavy infantry, then they sent in a special weapon squad that was armed only with plasma guns. During the Horus Heresy they developed some bolts that could penetrate power armour, but they were problematic and never became a general issue item. In nearly every iteration of the tabletop game bolters can only penetrate flak armour, meaning that even carapace armour can stop the bolts.

>things like other ultra marines
What in damnation!? Ultramarines are a single legion that was later turned into a single chapter. It's not a generic term for space marine.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Ultramarines
>orks
Most orks only have a few slabs of metal, and that's actually less effective than what the basic guardsman wears in gameplay terms. Against the few orks who do wear heavy armour you need something more than a bolter, e.g. a plasma gun.
A .32 ACP is actually .3125, therefore we can conclude that it's much more devastating than 5.56 NATO. .45 ACP therefore must be death, destroyer of worlds. Or maybe we should remember that this is /k/ of all places, and a Strelok should have enough wits to figure out there that there is much more to it than calibre. We have to know the mass, velocity and construction of a projectile if we want to tell any kind of a story. And we have to keep in mind that w40k was written by a bunch of britbong nerds in the 1980s who barely knew anything about firearms, and just wrote whatever they thought was cool.
I'm not sure if you are leafposting or not, but you do point out that there is a great difference between anti-matter and anti-matรฉriel.

Merci beaucoup.
You strawman'ed my statement. Even if size is important in terminal ballistics, I never said anything about 45 ACP being more effective than 308 or 223 or whatever. The point being that people often assume that diameter changes are small and sometimes seem to discount them too easily, and the differences are massive. This not only plays a role in terminal ballistics, but external ballistics as well, and explains why there is the diversity of calibers that there is. Why when calibers go up the weight of bullets HAS to go up significantly, because it is not merely "a few hundredths of an inch" but rather a radical change in size. We know, but many should be more educated on the very nature of the machine.
A 0.62 caliber smoothbore compared to a 0.775 caliber means an increase of tight fitting ball weight of DOUBLE for the larger bore in comparison. Why a 0.308 magnum cannot do what a 0.338 magnum can for long range, even if you make a monster case for the .308. Why the 8mm Mauser JS is considered inferior for long range work to the 30-06, but one can argue the 8mm is better for close hunting. Why a 0.338 Lapua and a 0.375 H&H Magnum can have similar power with the right handloads with the same bullet weights, same velocities, one is better for long range and the other is better for hunting.
I get your point, and I don't know much about w40K and won't go into that, but I'll go back to my original point about how easy it is for people to forget that upsizing is no small issue, a public service open forum statement. A 0.75 caliber gun compared to a similar 0.50 caliber gun is a massive difference, wither you want to make an anti material rifle or even a simple musket.

Anybody recognize this optic?
I have to admit that my words weren't really aimed at you, I just really can't stand this idea of bigger is better. It's mostly because I had to spend some time IRL with people who were unable to understand the basics of ballistics, and thought that neckind down 7.62 NATO to 5.56 will result in some kind of a super cartridge, and necking it up to 10mm will give you something so destructive that it will be useful against buildings. I take I don't have to explain to you what PTSD-inducing experience that was.
nice to see some wikipedia autismo took my "list of assault rifles" pages deleted it and perma blocked me from wikipedia
It is a constant problem. You get such people that fall into the mindset on every issue, people who think size is everything, people who think that velocity is magical, people who think that new hollow point bullets can be built that can magically defy physics. Education on such subjects is an endless struggle, but I suppose a worthy one. Why we suffer such things and keep doing what we do.

I bought my M1a GI stock several years ago for $1,500, a basic might run you as low as $1,300 USD nowadays if you look in the right places. For a general issue combat rifle the M1a's are just fine for accuracy. The issue is that to get them to top notch DMR levels you need to do work on them, or buy a National Match or a Super Match. I've seen them drop to as low as $2,400 on Bud's Guns, and you can get one already rip roaring ready for precision shooting for that price. Keep in mind the Garand style guns have the problem of having an action bedded into a stock vs. the modern independent receiver. Bedding wont be an issue on a GI low end M1a for battle rifle purpose, but if you modify one to make it better remember bedding is important to maximizing its accuracy potential, and that some have had issues with bedding getting loose after abuse and heavy firing in some cases.
I'm too old fashioned, I see the open carry as the honorable old way of doing things. It is honest and forthright. Beyond that, there are benefits such as carrying a larger weapon because you are not trying to conceal it, and as mentioned easy access. Modern sensibilities have made it very difficult to do, can cause problems with panicky people, and it also interferes with an intelligent public policy (if everyone carries concealed, and criminals and potential mass shooters or terrorsts don't know who they are, they are more likely not to attack anyone out of fear of the hidden mass armed public). They want weapon owners anonymous to keep such people paranoid, if everyone started to carry openly it would signal to criminals and others who is an easy target and who is not. They don't want open carry too popular for a solid reason right there.
Having someone try to rob you of your weapon during open carry is over stated, probably by those trying to promote conceal over open carry. Those people were likely weak men who criminals know would crumple up like wet paper bags. Notice most open carriers are NOT the victims of random crimes, rather the opposite. Again this plays a role in how conceal carry deters crime through "unknown" factor. The whole tactical advantage thing is a toss up, yes they don't know where your weapon is, how you are going to draw and fire. Then again, if its so tacticool advantagist than why do police, military, security all carry open holster?
Keep it concealed, I guess, don't upset the folks because it makes trouble, we don't need trouble. I carry almost openly because I live in rural nowhere. Still, best to keep it slightly hidden so the retards don't panic over it. Doesn't take much for the gun to be open carried enough for the real people to know and the panicky idiots to miss it.
Roughly how much does it cost a state to train and keep a reservist infantryman compared to a full time infantryman?
How could hypnosis be weaponized as a one-use tool, and how effective would it technically be?
And more importantly Why the fuck would some hardwire their brain to not be able to control their bladders?
Can anyone give me some advice or insight on backpack choices? I'm a NEET hermit retard who hasn't even owned a backpack for almost 10 years now. I've done my best to research it over the last couple days and boiled my choices down to the Condor Venture Pack, Condor 3 day Assault Pack, or the 5.11 RUSH24. I don't know if it's all that wise to be spending over $100 on a backpack, but in my research and hours of scanning over reviews all the cheap ~$50 packs have reports of them falling apart very easily. I'm leaning heavily towards the Condor Venture pack but as I said I'm completely out of my element so I figured I'd ask.
I've heard that the M14 was overall a bad weapon, but what were its issues? Also, did the cut-off gas system work as intended, or did it have problems?
Only real problem with the M14 I've found is getting mud on the action and not wiping it off like a civilized human. Same problem with both M1's.
First off what sort of pack are you looking for, a day pack or something that'll be good for three days?
I know the venture isn't a 3 day pack, and I'm probably looking to stuff everything I own or need into my bag then go, but I'm also a bit of a minimalist and would like to be lightweight. Also does anyone know if this DEHP stuff is an issue? I think I've read that Condor products have that chemical in them and it can mess with your sperm count, but I don't know if it's something to be weary of in a backpack. I sure hope not because otherwise I'm going to have drop more than I'd like to on a 5.11 pack.
If you're worried about materials the Dutch Army surplused out a ton of bags around the size of the 5.11 bag. Though if you're looking to cram a fuckton of shit I'd recommend getting a surplus ruck. Both of which are probably cheaper than the condor crap and 5.11 shit.
Cool if it's just a couple buddies and ONLY a couple buddies, kept on the down low.
Any "established" militias are just asking for trouble and WILL have feds, so they kind of nullify the point of a militia.
The reason why I lean towards the condor/5.11 bags is because they are more standard looking and compact packs since I expect to be spending a decent amount of time traveling on buses and the like. Rucksacks and military sacks are kind of large and robust. But you're right they are substantially cheaper and I really don't want to drop $100 on a bag that's going to rip after a year and give me dick cancer.
The bag in the picture is around 40L in capacity, its pretty close to the 5.11 and Condor in size. Sometimes what you need is different than what you want. If you're going to be traveling around significantly you're gonna want something bigger than all of those.
Norwegian AG3ยดsโฆ very nice
>Sometimes what you need is different than what you want.
Yeah I get that. Thanks for the tips, I'll spend a week or two looking around ebay for a rucksack maybe.
Milsurp shops will probably do you better. Varusteleka, Fireforce, Hessen antique.
How viable would it be to replace an entire army's artillery with rocket artillery?
>what is sustained fire
That's precisely the Khrushchev's dream. After his retirement this autism ended immediately since everyone knew it would be way too expensive.
I thought the F5 could carry 6 air to air missiles so why does Wikipedia say it carries four? Am i right or are they right?
The problem with conventional non-guided or unaided rocket artillery or ground to ground rocketry is that it's extremely inaccurate, even by conventional artillery standards which can have a probable error of several hundred meters. Currently all US rocket artillery uses GPS "aided" GMLRS M31a1 rockets which have a probable error of only several dozen meters. Unguided rockets or missiles are generally only used as suppression and mass effect weapons which need to cover large areas, usually entire grid squares (square kilometers). Rockets are much more susceptible to meteorological forces than conventional artillery, which is why they aren't used unless under certain circumstances or conditions. The key to rocketry is accuracy. With wire guided, GPS guided or aided rockets, targets can be pinpointed and neutralized from much greater distances than standard artillery with extreme precision down to even only several meters.
I see. Sounds like more than I could do myself unless I had machinery and tools for it, unless I were to use a local machine shop or something which in my area wouldn't really work well.
>The issue is that to get them to top notch DMR levels you need to do work on them, or buy a National Match or a Super Match.
those appear to be more expensive and also weigh upwards of 12lbs.
>you can get one already rip roaring ready for precision shooting for that price
so I may be better off getting a model I'd like, shooting with it, and then putting money towards having a shop modify it? that seems more reasonable.
โโโ
It seems to me that in the short term I would be best served by getting an air rifle for which ammunition is very cheap, and just practicing a whole lot with it.
Would anyone happen to have any recommendations for me regarding air rifles? I want something simply to practice with, not hunt or anything. It would be nice to get a takedown model. Would my best bet be to just go to the sporting goods store and get what seems good, or should I be doing more research?
Also, would getting an air pistol serve me well in terms of practice? would it translate much to rifle use?
Makes no sense since rockets are still more expensive, but satellite guidance is easy to jam. Those are just two fundamentally different types of weaponry that are being used under different circumstances. Traditional artillery is a cheap way to fuck up single or multiple targets. Katyusha has been designed by us to cover areas with German artillery, after 2014 MLRS like Vilkha in our doctrine are considered to be the ultimate way of destroying invasive convoys at the beginning of war - that of course do not look like a square areas, and this is where modern guidance is helpful.
What exactly was limiting weapon pylons' number so much in pre-4.5gen fighters? Wiring?
Can modern pylons be linked by simple USB ports so that can carry weapons up to their physical weight holding limit?
kind of having reading comprehension problem here. Not a big fun of rocket artillery for the reasons described but what I don't seem to understand from what you are saying is wether modern guidance methods per rocket are cheaper than the rocket itself. Also would not guidance make rockets technically missiles?
>The problem with conventional non-guided or unaided rocket artillery or ground to ground rocketry is that it's extremely inaccurate, even by conventional artillery standards which can have a probable error of several hundred meters.
What the fuck are you smoking? The only way you could think that is if you're looking at maximum obscene ranges of 200km+ and comparing that with a piece used in its intended effective range.
For regular artillery to have a CEP of several HUNDRED meters is if its a self propelled piece gunning it through forest, Tokyo drifting into position, firing immediately a RAP at maximum range in a tornado.
A truck mounted artillery which is in a prepared position and takes the time to set up the jacks, takes meteorology into account, zeros in a shot, and fires within the 5-20km range common for artillery, can have a CEP of 50m easily. That's simple dumb artillery round fired from a well prepared position.
In comparison MLRS which usually has a cheapo laser gyro guidance chip, and has air brakes or fins to center it, has a CEP of around 15-30m. Rockets can also fit simple radars in their nose for terrain matching, like the Iskander, and have pinpoint accuracy that exceeds GPS at similar cost.
Jamworthy satellite guidance not required.
Also you have to take yield into account. For example the cheapest longest range modern missile is a type of thin/packable Scud invented by Serbs, it has a range of about 300km and a truck can carry up to 12x pack of them. It's maximum range accuracy is 150m in the worst case scenario, well short of your "hundreds of meters" but still bad right? Wrong. Given that this circle is being filled with 5000lb of explosive, it doesn't fucking matter.
Yes but it's so cheap nowadays that the aluminum extrusion for the rocket body is more expensive than any guidance system. An inertial chip is like ~$50, a single airbrake with a piston is maybe $600. As the missile rotates the airbrake can pop out and pop in at any point and direct the missile to any direction easily.
Compare that with a cost of an RPG which is unguided but still over $3000 per system.
How well would they work for counter-battery fire?
Was it really such a bad tank?

Drop leg holsters aren't the best of ideas, since they'll wear you out faster. Carrying loads on your lower body uses more energy than the same weight on your hips or upper body body. Switch to a hip holster if you can.
I think the best option for carrying shit is a battle belt + chest rig. It allows you to layer your gear, you keep the bare essentials on the belt, and extras on the chest rig. When you need to go more minimalist, you drop the chest rig. If the belt is heavy enough to need suspenders, you're doing it wrong. I think the load bearing equipment thread has some more detail on this strip if you want to check it out.
what was that post-berlin wall german military song that merkel is trying to memory hole? it was a real banger
>>686352
>Also do battle belts keep your pants up or are they more of a platform for pouches?
They're usually a separate belt that attaches over your main belt. I'm not a big expert on LBE or anything, but I might suggest a couple articles to you. This is part 3 in a series about the battle belt/chest rig combo, you probably only need part 3 but parts 1 and 2 are linked there if you're interested in them, they're more about the general theory of LBE rather than gear advice:

Most of what I recommended is gunsmith stuff bar the last two, which is something I don't recommend anyone doing unless they've done it before. Find yourself a cheap 22lr rifle and pistol, personal recommendations would be a Marlin Model 60 and a Ruger Standard.
So I'm trying to disassemble this VZ 98/22 and clean below the wood line, but I'm having some trouble. This is my first and only rifle, so I don't have a lot of experience, but I'm pretty sure the end cap isn't supposed to be this hard to get off. I'm not sure if this dent/deformation is contributing to this, but I was wondering if anyone had any tricks for getting this thing off.
On another note, I don't think the retaining screw for the receiver is supposed to be eaten away like this. I can't seem to get the smaller screw out because it keeps getting the corner caught on the corner of the other screw. Is there any way to unfuck this short of drilling the things out?
it looks like the screws were made that way with a little crescent cut out.
you can see that if they were fully circular, they would overlap which would not make sense. It appears that this was done so that the cut out part of one screw would allow the other to turn completely to remove or put back.
in your image you can see that the smaller screw is rotated such that its cutout lines up with the hole for the larger screw, and the larger screw has been partially turned. if the smaller screw didn't have that cutout, the larger one wouldn't have been able to turn.
assuming you want to unscrew the smaller screw, you should probably turn the larger screw counterclockwise a little so it's cutout aligns with the hole for the smaller screw, then you should be able to remove the small one.
t. nogunz but that's what the strange screw setup appears to be meant to do.
Watch this
Are .30-06 BAR magazines readily available and cheap, or are they more of a collector's item by now? Also, considering how similar some rifle cartridges are, could it feed 7.62mm NATO or 7.92mm Mauser without any modifications?
They seem to be more collector's items now, though you can occasionally find them while scouring for milsurp. There's also new production magazines from Ohio Ordnance due to their reproduction BARs and the HCAR.
>7.62mm NATO
Not very well, depending on the bolt design. 7.62 NATO is, as you should know, a bit shorter and it's possible for rounds to shift in the magazine during cycling. Rifles like the FR-8 used modified 7.92 Mauser magazines with a shorter proprietary follower/spring and a spacer in the magazine nearest the chamber.
>7.92mm Mauser
Strong "maybe" - are you thinking about slapping a BAR magazine onto a Mauser? You might need to modify the magazine to work with the bolt, seeing as it differs quite a bit from the open-bolt design of the BAR.
Not to mention there's not too much room to work with.
Please excuse me if this is a dumb-fuck question to ask: Do holographic or prismatic pistol sights exist? I have a severe astigmatism and all red dot sights look like complete trash to me. I've tried several different manufacturers and they're all equally bad in my eyes (Literally).
I think Trijicon makes one.
Not from what I see on their website, unless I'm missing something. The released the SRO pistol sight a few months back but that still uses a traditional red dot.
I was thinking of the RMR.
Uses a traditional red dot. The RMR is not a holographic or prismatic sight.
>are you thinking about slapping a BAR magazine onto a Mauser?
I'm thinking about a magazine-fed rifle that can accomodate as many different cartridges as possible. Of course the best solution is to have a replaceable magazine well, so that people can buy e.g. FAL or G3 magazines if they want to use 7.62 NATO. But making a rifle that can work with different magazines means that the maker will have to either ship it without magazines, or have a stockpile of completely different magazines. A third option is to have a default "do-it-all" magazine, and offer different magazine wells as an alternative or an extra, if you are feeling jewish. My idea is to make a magazine that fits into the BAR's magwell, but it's designed with a set of spacers and followers, so that you can set it up for shorter cartridges. Preferably it would only need a spacer, to shorten it down for 7.62 NATO, because a shorter follower with its spring should be able to push up longer cartridges too. And if you prefer .30-06 you can still use standard BAR magazines as an alternative to this propetary magazine.
Do you think it's a viable idea, or is there an obvious flaw that I just can't see?
Most people would say to use an attack dog, but what if the intruder is armed? Chances are, the dog would be dead. Then that got me into thinking: according to the Officer Down Memorial Page, there were 82 animal-related deaths since 1791. Those are as follows:
68 by horses/mules
6 by rabid dogs
3 by bees/yellow jackets
2 by cows
1 by a cat
1 by a lion
1 by a brown recluse spider
Since most officer-related deaths were by horses, I wonder if a horse would actually make a good attack animal? Obviously, a rabid dog wouldnโt make too good a self-defense animal, since it would be dead within about a week and the animal could just as easily infect you as well as any other person (unless youโre vaccinated), so I donโt se that serving any purpose other than at a protest/riot during clashes with other protesters/police. Maybe as a psychological warfare tactic to scare the police/enemy.
When I come to think about it, horses actually would make a pretty good home defense animal (and maybe even public defense too, if you ride them around). As for if the subject is armed, that probably wouldnโt be too big of a problem, since theyโre big animals, and they have very small brains that are located at the top, so it would be very hard to kill them with a headshot if they were charging directly towards you. You might be able to debilitate it, but if thereโs multiple horses stampeding your way, then youโre fucked. If, on the other hand, somebody is trying to get inside through the back inside the fence where all the horses are or is trying to steal a horse, a kick to the head or chest would be fatal for any adult human.
Is this even a thing? Has anybody ever used a horse as an attack animal before? And if so, how would you set up these large animals in your home for an intruder? How would you even train them?
Imagine being killed by a fucking cat.
The best human companion would be some kind of large bear or a giant canine that you can ride on.
Since most statistics regarding officers tends to be fucked up and wrong, I'd be willing to believe that the 68 deaths were from officers riding said horses/mules and falling off. Of those, probably only 7 was while on duty. Just like I don't believe that brown recluse death happened while in the line of duty.
Seriously, why is there zero oversight to cop statistics? Who's making all this money to skew shit as much as possible?
>I'm thinking about a magazine-fed rifle that can accomodate as many different cartridges as possible.
Magazine design is a very difficult task for even one caliber; to make one that's supposed to work with multiple will have many problems feeding.
People also want separate magazines specifically for safety over convenience - keep in mind how many people have blown up their AR-15 when mistakenly chambering .300 Blackout in a 5.56 rifle.

How well did carrying magazines on lanyards instead of in pouches work for the Finns? I understand pouches are preferable but I'd be curious to know just how uncomfortable it was to have magazines flopping about.
I don't think comfort was as much of a priority as magazine retention while running around in waist-deep snow was.
Did the Soviets do anything similar?
Drop the drum in the snow and you can grab it in a pinch. Both mags and drums were designed around being used with a lanyard, don't think they actually issued a pouch for the drums given I've never found one for mine.

Thanks m8, so it's pretty safe to assume this guy went through some shit?
I wouldn't say so. The two medals are for rangetime stuff i.e. actually being able to hit your target consistently, the ribbons are both for combat and non-combat stuff. If there were more things on there you'd be able to tell right away. Unless you have his service number you'll never know for sure.

Hey /k/, potentially stupid question here: Iโve got a Beretta 1301. Does anyone know if a Benelli M4 collapsible stock will fit it or if thereโs an adapter plate that will let me put one on?
Sup /k/ommandos, whist riding on a train i thought of an interesting scenario i got from a gay will smith movie. In the movie he is sniping someone on a train from a hill and it occurred to me that your distance from a moving vehicle travelling horizontally across your vision determines your engagement envelope. In simple terms the closer you are to the vehicle youโre shooting, the less time you are able to shoot the people in it because the angle changes fast and the further you are from the vehicle the longer you can shoot them because the angle changes slowly.
Anyway, the question is, is there a distance from vehicle sweetspot where you can unload on it accurately as an infantryman? To be specific you have an AR15, whats the distance you should have from the vehicle to balance time of engagement and accurately hitting it?
mayhaps a aimpoint COMP M-2, too shitty to tell tho
How does the UH-1 handle a 16" ar-10? specifically the m5e1
Targeting the whole vehicle specifically? If you're too close you get the benefit of shooting at it as it comes toward you, which is easiest.
I've heard saying "get some" is actually official doctrine for m60 use. Any good sources for that?
I've been gifted a slingshot for Christmas and with maybe 10 clay balls and lost it all in the grass, does size matter? looking online there's 1/2 3/8, 5/16, 9mm , 10mm. I'm using it for target practicing with a bucket and wood board as backstop in my backyard.
I have admitted to doctors that I have had suicidal thoughts and I take anti depressants. Does this necessarily barr me from purchasing a firearm? I know people in my situation who own them, but they do live in a different state. Is there a way to check? I really want to buy a shotgun to blow clay pigeons and spend more time with my dad.
You can shoot pretty much anything that will fit in the pouch with a slingshot. Different sizes and weights are going to behave differently. I used to use 11mm paintballs.
Check state code. Generally, you won't be disqualified from gun ownership unless you've been involuntarily committed or receive SSDI for certain mental disorders. For now at least, background checks just cover legal history and the state doesn't have access to your medical history.
Are there any jewtubers that teardown and review weapons like how AvE does with power tools? Not just guns, knives too.
Paul Harrell
I don't think that's what anon was looking for, he doesn't even field strip the things.
>Are there any jewtubers that teardown and review weapons like how AvE does with power tools?
the only gun jewtuber that reliably field strips on every review is probably AKOU, but he only rarely does non-AK guns.
>Not just guns, knives too.
nutnfancy, the tactical stillbirth specialist, does lots of 40 minute+ videos on knives in addition to guns. I find his reviews to be more or less accurate but painfully overlong and filled with too much tacticool larping.
Mrgunngear? He only really tears down guns, but he does break down and talk about the interior of guns even on the pre-release samples he gets. Talks a lot about material specs/quality when he reviews ARs too.
Also had the balls to make this, and regularly disproves of prebuilt ARs that have lowers made to block autoseers.

Haven't seen it, can you explain?
I just have to point out that there were significant colonial forces in the western front, so having a few say Sikhs fighting for the british on the background is perfectly accurate, something like BF1 where half the germans are black or something is not however.
Yeah i mean it's just a few random blacks carrying stretchers and a token sikh in the truck. It doesn't really matter in the big picture. I'm just making a hassle out of a non-issue.

For now, it can become an issue in the future, it's already the case with games, look at the video for example i'm a sucker for everything pacific war, look at the graphics, hear the sounds, it really immersive and realistic, until you look around and see black women as your squad mates, it's so tiresome, i should love that game but it ends up being a joke. I think it's just a matter of time until we start seeing that in historical films it's already there actually, as long as it is pre modern
>German Colonial commander fought with valor with a majority african colonial troops.
Von Lettow Vorbeck? Sure, but that was in German east africa not Flanders, which is something else that pissed me off, if you want to pozz something at least make it make sense, i wouldn't complain about all the niggers if those were playable only in a map set in that theatre.
>The troops respected them and vice versa for the German.
To an extent i guess, from what i remember he remained quite racist even after the war.
Somebody mentioned on this board that AR1000 would have better potential as body armor than AR500 as it was designed for armor or something. I've some googling and yes there are AR1000 plates for sale and they're made from Armox Steel / MIL46100. So is this the real deal or bullshit?
not yet 21, living in CA. Looking at a Ruger 10/22 takedown model, this would be a decent first gun, right guys?
also, do any of you know of any other good takedown guns? preferably something that can fit into a pack for future use camping and trail backpacking.
A takedown lever action would be nice but I see them at very high prices whereas I can get a new 10/22 takedown for under $400 or even less used.
I don't have the takedown but the 10/22 was my first gun, I almost am under 21. It's badass, fun to plink, is a great way to inaugurate gunvirgins, and has a really great aftermarket. You can get hi-cap magazines and drums for it, which on its own BTFOs any stupid .22 with a magazine tube. There are tons of stocks, triggers, competition barrels, and other shit for it. You can even get a gat-crank on it for the memes, look it up on YouTube. If the takedown is reliable then I'd say go for it. Oh and .22lr is the cheapest damn ammo there is, you can buy 500 rounds to shoot between you and 2 buddies for 15-30 bucks (practically no other gun gives you such affordability). Personally my 10/22 only likes CCI brand ammo, and the actual factory 25 round magazine misfeeds all the damn time, so pick up one of the plastic 3rd party magazines like Butler Creek's (I think that's what they're called), for some reason they work a lot better for me.
*also am under 21
what's the best way to get a gun anonymously? little/no paperwork preferred
What is the longest functional blade that you can make out of "pure" copper? (i.e. not enough zinc or tin to push it over into brass or bronze territory)
tinsnips, a drill press and a grade-8 bolt with a 1" shank, plus a hammer, an anvil, and somebody else's garage door.
You'll also need some hogwire to make springs with.
Are there any historical pre-teen commanders who were remotely successful?
I believe Joan of Arc was only 14, if you want to consider her a "commander"
And are inclined to believe Frog propaganda
Would Ginchiyo Tachibana count?
So has anyone tried to use an oxy acetylene striker to start tinder? If so was it easier or harder than a normal flint and steel?
hey, /k/, what do you think of these for some hand-to-hand?
I used to try to do that when I was in the Boy Scouts (when it was All Male)
It was harder (actually impossible for me) than regular flint and steel because I could not direct the sparks well, and whatever did hit the tinder would land on TOP of it instead of on the side or underneath.
Those look fucking retarded, if anyone is trying to assault you when you take those out they'll laugh their ass off and leave you alone so i guess they can be effective that way.
You need to g e t s o m e citations for that.
I'm trying to prove to a friend that Japanese autism for putting waifus on military vehicles goes way back, and I remember there being a screencap of some thread years back about the Japs drawing shipgirls for their navy back in like the interwar years. Does anyone got that?
What is a good, affordable plate carrier? Considering AR500 Testudo Gen 2. It has thicc padding that looks pretty comfy

I know this is really late reply,but fuck it.
What's a 3913LS go for nowdays?
Know this is a question that likely won't get an answer but does anyone know how or know a site with instructions on how to make CS gas? I'm mostly just curious and at this point its because I can't find anything but the hardcore stuff like molecule diagrams while I can find 3 videos on YouTube of idiots making CN gas.
Is this what you're looking for?
In a wrol/shtf scenario, how would you go about renewing your supply of ammunition? I know in the old west days they made cartridge casings out of paper, but what about primers and powder? Without a stable supply of sulfur it'd basically be impossible to create gunpowder, and I don't even know how to create a shock-sensitive explosives for the primers, let alone how to make them renewable.
100 years after we nuke ourselfs are we going to be able to make new ammunition or will we be returning to crossbows and the like? Modern ammo supply requires WAY too much infrastructure for people to be able to get ammo should the supply-chain fail.

What should I prioritize?
Have we updated the poorfags gun guide yet? Money is a bit tight at the moment to throw down for an okay firearm, so I'm trying to figure out what I should go for. While I'm sure the looks on looters faces when they discover they were getting meme'd with rounds from a dead empire is going to be hilarious, I'd actually like to have a rifle that fires a little quicker than how fast I usually work the bolt.
>listing all your funs on the internet
>more rounds of birdshot than long rifle
I'm pretty sure the feds aren't going to touch this guy, Strelok. It's like my mother always said, "Fear not the long touch of the rifle, fear the sadist armed with birdshot".
>.300blk 30-round magazines X3
>9mm Magazines X 4

BUY MORE MAGAZINES YOU RETAAAAAARD
Real talk, get 45/70 rounds and put them in that .410. Shit will stop a mack truck. No lie
Oh I forgot to add, you're going to want a recoil pad, old suede gummy tan soles work really well for DIY
Remington 870 a worthwhile firearm? Whats a good price range for one?
Any good resources on historical price for 1911s to civilians? All I can find is the 1916 Mongomery Ward catalog (22 bucks+90c per extra mag) and 1922 Sears (34 bucks+1.50 for extra mages) but Archive.org's search function is crap and I can't find any other catalogs.
Free if you waited. Lots of them were passed down from vets.
If you pay more than 400 its a rip, 3-400
It's a DAMN good gun, takes everything from mini shells to 3" sabot magnum slugs
Speaking of which, I have a Mossberg 500 that my basic research leads me to believe its probably a late 70's/early 80's gun. I still have not found the serial number. I could google where it is but I figure, if i haven't learned my weapon well enough to readily identify it, i need more education about it and practice with it.
I am debating whether to attach some big MOLLE pouch to the back of my vest (pic related) or to buy a seperate backpack to wear along with my vest. What should I get?
I would use a separate backpack. Why? Easy on/off. I wouldn't want it to weigh me down or fuss with it in transitional spaces, if a self defense situation popped off. Drop the extra bag and you're in the fight. I'd point to modern troops as an example. Only have the bare necessities (IFAK, cantine, fun sticks and pouches, tourniquet, light, cutting/multi-tool, firestarter, and a COMM like your cell phone) tied to your person or uniform. Everything else can be dropped and picked up again after the dust settles.
Awesome. What backpack would you recommend? Price < $150
It really depends on what you're gearing for. Personally, I lean towards the "gray man" look for a bugout scenario, thinking along the lines of a natural disaster. My current bag isn't like this one, but if I was in the market to buy a new one, I'd go with something like a camping backpack in this video. I'd get something similar to a police duty rig belt for EDC tools. Modern military boots. Some black or brown paramedics pants. A black, gray, or dark green hoodie to throw on over my plate carrier. Black boonie cap. And this backpack in black for all of your camping supplies. You would easily blend into a crowd of evacuees marching along side a highway, but you'd still be in a color scheme that would allow you to vanish innawoods too. That's a "gray man" look you'd want to go for.

Oh, and the price of the Teton Sports Mountain Adventurer 4000 is about $85 USD.
You mean this one?
I hate these attachment button thingies (whatever the fuck they are called). or maybe I amn just using them wrong
Whenever I attach something to my vest or leg carrier, the buttons always seem to disconnect, especially when I am crawling and shit. Is this a problem for anybody else? Or am I doing it wrong? Is there a better alternative? I really don't want to have to worry about losing gear when I am, say, running.
Game looks fun, would buy if they didn't have that stupid (((diversity))).
Any tips about making maps?
What is the most important information to have in physical form during the boogaloo?

I live in this shithole pre-planned community and I want to make a tactical map in QGIS 3. I know the basics of making it. However, the place is so densely packed that all of the roads are all on top of eachother, and since I only have a black and white printer, the aerial photo layer seems to just blend into itself. It's really hard to read. Any tips?
Yeah, google earth
Chill out, there's nothing fucking glowy about mapping out your own neighborhood. Especially now
It's a slang term for search it online, use fucking duck duck go or something then, I'm not that paranoid
So my shithole state is going into lockdown unless you are an essential service. Are FFLs considered one, or am I just going to have to pester my local guys to find out if they consider themselves one?
Semi-related, does anyone have a pirated copy of the 10th edition Hondary reloading manual?
What is the process for getting a suppressor in Arkansas? it appears to be different in each state and all the "how-tos" appear to be outdated.
Has there ever been a study on most common areas on the body to get shot?
I would assume police and nigs get shot center mass more since theyre in quickdraw situations, while soldiers in combat get shot in the head and arms more
openstreetmaps.de (or .org) pretty good tools, no tie-in with Alphabet (alphabet soup? really? they can't just call themselves the glow-in-the-darks and let us run over them in the night?)
Building an AR, how likely am I to run into headspace issues throwing parts together? Like, fully assembled with bcg vs picking a different bcg, vs putting together an upper receiver, barrel, and bcg.
Googling and looking at fudd forums tells me that some people think that ARs are self-headspacing and that others think that building from individual parts is a recipe for disaster if you don't have a plan to set the headspace of your rifle.
What do y'all think?
Also, does anybody have experience with ar15discount.com's NBS brand? They claim all of their parts are just rebranded from trusted OEMs, but it seems like that's the case for PSA too. Kind of wondering how they compare.
Glad 8/k/ is back.
Letโs say hypothetically I have nothing to live for and I want to take this frustration out for the greater good of world โe.g. defending my self against international (((bankers))) and left-wing politicians in a confined room. Any weapons/equipment/optics suggestions?
You're blinding me with all that glow, CIAnigger
having built four ARs with parts from disparate vendors, I'd say that for as much as everyone tells you to test everything every build โฆ it's not likely to go wrong unless you're doing something a little bit weird. 5.45 bolts, for instance. There are two standards, and most of the barrel manufacturers know whose bolts will work, and whose won't.
Side charging ARs have similar problems. Bear Creek puts the handle in one place, everyone else somewhere else. So, don't use a non-BC side charging upper if you bought a BC side charge or dual-charge carrier.
Thanks. I may buy just the field gauge just to be sure but it's probably pretty unlikely given what I plan to buy for my bcg and barrel.
I want to start funsmithing, are there any resources (PDFs, books, videos, websites, etc.) that you could facilitate me?
If you cannot for X or Y reason, could you at least point me in the right direction?
>hatcher's notebook (on archive.org but fuckhuege pdf file)
iirc midway used to have a lot of videos on gunsmithing, check out some of the other threads here. To get the mechanical aspects read technical manuals, firearms generally follow similar construction and assembly patterns
are you weaving the molle correctly or just pushing it in and using the snap to hold it like some kind of mongoloid? In all the years i have used molle literally never had that happen
dependsโฆ a low as 270 as high as 500 for basic models, check out guns.deals (formerly slick guns) for comparative pricing of the model. sometimes police trade ins can be had for 199 or less they are not bad guns, but god help you if the ejector is loose and you dont have $100 in tools and replacement parts to fix it.
did you check the tang on the grip or stock, been a bit but iirc it was there?
Alright, so say i wanted to buy a gun, not a built one, just all the parts needed to assemble one would, Could i just buy all the shit directly and have it shipped to me or would i need to go through and FFL for the receiver. I live in Texas btw.
A stripped or complete lower receiver must be sent to an FFL and then transferred to you with an ATF 4473 form. Everything else can be mailed to you.
Roughly what sort of outputs can a factory achieve in terms of small arms?

I have a Saiga rifle in 7.62x39mm with an unthreaded barrel that I'd like to have a muzzle device attached to. Is there any reason I would need to have it threaded for 14x1mm, or can I use any thread pattern I want?
It's just metal โ grind it off to match the device you've chosen, if that's a plausible route for you.
But the tradition of the thing is combloc ammo has 14x1LH muzzle devices, so you will confuse future purchasers, if you sell that rifle.

would somebody care to take some calipers to their glock(tm) barrel, and tell me how wide the 'chamber' block is?
