I just placed on order for a Uberti Walker and i'm gonna plan on CCing it under my parka this winter.
Any tips?
>>28059076
Wear square toes a Stetson too.
Honestly, I'd love to see one in a defensive use. I see nothing wrong with the idea
>>28059076
>tips ten gallon
also, are walkers and dragoons better than the 1858 remingtons? cant decide between those for a first BP gun.
>>28059180
My father had a rem 1858. His was in .45Lc though. It was a nice gun.
Someone recommend a Milsurp coat that DOESNT suck pls
Was gonna buy one of pic related (Czech Parka) until I realized the site i was looking at wont have any for at least a month. Im told the American M65 field jackets were good in the day, now you can only get shitty knockoffs tho
What should I get, /k/?
>>28058593
The same company who made M65 for the government on contract still makes them today. They also make a bunch of flight jackets. Alpha Industries, although it'll set you back a few hundred dollary doos, I'm happy with mine.
>>28058621
$300 for a coat? mfw
>>28058593
Does it actually have to be milsurp? Or do you just need a winter coat?
You could get one of the British or Flecktarn parkas off N.E. I suppose. Or go to the store and buy a civilian coat like a normal person. There are plenty of good "military style" coats since milsurp became fashionable after WWI. Hell, the Peacoat is based on the Naval officer coat. I got a pretty sweet one from Old Navy for like 40 bucks last month.

I bet you had this really grand picture of everyone posting approving images and e-patting you on the back.

With carbine assault rifles available that are just as light and compact as most SMGs are, but firing a more powerful and accurate ammunition, what niche do SMGs serve these days?
>>28058472
>what niche do SMGs serve these days?
Looking sexy.
>>28058472
Suppressed work, extremely compact packages (machine pistol type deals with folding stocks Mac 10 style)
Really the MAC-10 is the prime example of what they're good for these days, a bit of firepower you can have broken down around your body, go to the bathroom, put on a big ass suppressor and extend the stock, wait for your "buddy" to take a piss and wax him.
In a military and law enforcement sense they'd become very limited, LE could argue less penetration but, let's face...

You can get absurdly light with SMGs that aren't straight blowback. The MP7 (not A1) is less than 3 lb, and the SR-2 is less than 4 lb. Pretty fuckin light. They're also easily used 1-handed, which is why Russia uses them with shields
I'm looking for a knife that is small and light enough to be carried everyday comfortably, yet is long and tough enough to get you through any urban/wilderness survival situation. I'm thinking 5" as an absolute minimum blade length, and probably 7+ as a max. Does anyone have any suggestions?
>>28058447
Opinel
>>28058475
Do you have a specific suggestion? I've already pretty much found the knife I want, this is just to see if anyone has any good experience/stories with a specific knife that may be better.
>carried everyday comfortably
No 5 or 7 inch fixed blade will do that.

This is the head of R-77 missile... pic from Wikipedia.
How does this stuff work? What are those holes on the top plate? Why is it at that angle?
Anyway, I don't know much about electronics but have taken apart a bunch of electrical devices and all the wiring on this missile looks sturdy as fuck! As if it was made not to get damaged at high speeds or something.
Anyway, any missile experts around? How do they work?

>nice try china but we won't fall for your tricks
on a more serious note I don't know squat about missiles... but that plate is sitting in what looks like a gimbal mount... it's designed to swivel... I suspect thats probably a radar array of some kind and it needs to be aimed at it's target.... look close at the semicircle bit it fits into...

Arrright /k/ - favorite pepper sprays? Any brands to avoid? I occasionally take public transit, so I'm leaning towards a no-tear-gas, foam or gel...but the Asp Key/Palm defender are kind of appealing because I think I'm more likely to EDC, and it's less liable to freak people out (I'm not kidding here; I mostly just don't want to have the conversation over and over about why I carry it); it looks like a keychain light, basically.
Fox and Sabre seem well regarded? I have a mace-brand can that has the world's shittiest "holster" -...

Librachusetts city, LTC is basically impossible. Besides - random homicides are extremely uncommon. Don't need lethal force when mostly it's just morons looking for a fistfight or maybe flashing an airsoft gun. They're not willing to risk anything that would result in not going through the court system like a bad burrito.

i've bought 10 or 12 cans over the years from them for various people, none has been used as far as i know, but they are stand up guys. they feel that everyone has the right to self defense and will ship anywhere.

Why do people favor 1 to 8 power scopes and the like when a flip to side magnifier paired with a red dot seems faster and easier to use? What are the pros and cons of using a magnifier + red dot or holo sight vs. a scope? I'm currently deciding which route I should take for my AR.
>>28058279
Because flip magnifiers suck balls.
>>28058303

One more thing to fall off. One more thing to hit against doorframe. One more thing to hand receipt for. Only 3x mag which doesn't help too much with target ID
>>28058333
There are some 5x magnifiers which was really primarily what I was looking at, but I think I also saw an 8x flip to side somewhere.

Looking for /k/'s opinion on a deer rifle.
I started a thread on this a while back, and got Savage Axis as a 2nd choice, Ruger American as a first.
I actually checked out a Ruger American last Friday, and it was a no.

It was light, and would work well in the woods because it's short, but the thing felt like something off the toy isle at Walmart.
So I upped the budget a bit. I'd...
