When would you actually fire with your carry pistol?
Hi, I was thinking of getting a CCW and carrying, but I'm not sure if I see the point.
If I get mugged, my instinct is that it's safer to give him my wallet rather than to either draw or fire, which would both risk me getting shot.
I can't think of any other time I would feel in danger. Help set me straight please.
>>27924145
It's your personal choice and preference. If you really feel safer just giving thieves, robbers, muggers, and the occasional rapist what they want then just do that.
>>27924145
Well if they want the wallet give them the wallet. If they want your life give them lead
>>27924145
A lot of /k/ posters will say "just shoot him! slot the floppy!" but in practice it just depends on the situation. I'd rather lose my wallet than get into a gun fight anyday, armed or otherwise. Then again, if I let him approach to take it he might start searching me down and take the gun or he might try to kill me anyway just because. In those cases I'd pretty much have to shoot, though in all others having the gun merely gives you the option but it doesn't make it a good idea per se.

Where were you when Australia wanted to ban bolt action rifles as well?
Not in Australia, so I could start shooting the communists in the head.

I was at my gun shop, buying whatever the fuck my heart wanted for 2 min background check
Fondling my AR-15. AU can get shrekt.
Is there anything wrong with actually enjoying Combat and such?
Just thinking to myself that if the US ever goes boots on the ground in the Middle east again, I'd probably sign up just for the chance of seeing some action. Life is so boring, just want to kick some doors in.
>>27924015
That's nice

>I just want to kick doors in
boy howdy did you miss the fun of the 07 surge then. room cleared an entire hotel looking for 4 assholes once. also burned shit with a sergeant major, about as good of an experience one could hope for when burning shit.
if thats your only reason to serve then I strongly dont recommend it, OP.
If people say it is better to build lots of destroyers instead of one big and powerful battleship. Because one missile will hit and then will destroy only one destroyer.
Then why build big aircraft carriers instead of smaller ones?
Why not build a small carrier with enough space for 4 F-35B?
Same logic here, multiple small aircraft carriers instead of one big expensive.
>>27923927
Larger aircraft carriers are more efficient. Relying on V/STOL means that you have much shorter range overall. Carriers aren't for fighting other carriers anymore. Carriers are a tool can be used to pacific a certain area with its mere presence.
>>27923927
this thread again
big battleships are not bad
battleships are bad
think for a second
BATTLE OF THE LINE SHIP
>>27923927
Destroyers are big and powerful battleships.
So this empty space behind the magwell of my Gen 4 Glock 19 is bugging me. Seems like a waste. What can I shove up there so I'm not wasting the real estate on my gun?
>>27923719
ur dick
Put your asinine complaints in there.
Survival kit. Fishing hooks and line, snare wire, pills, tinder, cocaine, the usual stuff. Just cram it full of junk.
Ask Google, too. Odds are people on Glock forums have thought of cool ideas too.
Or... You could fill it with skittles :p
Hey /k/ it's been a long time since I've seen a serial number thread on here, so let's do it again,post those serial numbers!

Obama says next year he will mount a sustained effort through executive order to command firearms be banned and all you white pussies will obey Him and turn them in. What guns will you crackers turn in first?
>>27923658

>He actually believes the gun lobby doesn't financially support both parties.

No one gives a fuck about your fabricated, made for /k/ bullshit sob story.
Drop dead and fuck off to >>>/trash/ OP.
>>27923568
Shit, man...
Probably half the people browsing now doesn't even know the story...
It's sad, I used to even have the pictures saved here, the forbidden ones, but lost on a HDD fault, maybe that was for better.
Hope JFN is fine and she's having fun with her dog.
Would you sell guns that you both don't shoot, and really can't afford to shoot?
I have about ten guns. And about 9 of them are safe queens. The only gun that isn't, my Browning Citori which I shoot trap with every week is the only one that gets any use.
I really don't shoot my other guns for three reasons.
A. I have no use for them. Like my pump and single shot shotguns. I don't shoot clays with them. And there's no reason to bring them down to the rifle range.
B. I can't afford to shoot them. I'm on a students...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Fuck no. There is absolutely no reason to sell your guns unless you are in a truly destitute, desperate situation.
You will regret it.
Why dont you fuck yourself?

>Would you sell guns that you both don't shoot, and really can't afford to shoot?
well as you get older you will answer this question most likely - yes sell them
you can carry those guns for awhile in your safe and get some emo satisfaction from that
but you can't take those guns with you after you're dead - so either you sell them now and get some $$ or your estate will either destroy them or sell them for peanuts
How effective would it be to switch all of our IFVs with Shilkas?

This is the OP who bought a Martini-Henry a few days ago. I can't get my bayonet to lock up on this rifle and I'm not quite sure why. As you can see the bayonet has a small bit of room to move However it can't because it is already hitting the stock. I need it to move down that small space so I can rotate the collar to lock the bayonet.
>>27923270
This picture shows the bayonet hitting the stock
>>27923270
Hammer.
>>27923270
What you need is a belt grinder.
So my friend and I just purchased a pair of black powder revolvers for having fun out in the desert. While looking into some of the ball casting equipment online I had an idea, what if you used these molds to cast balls out of rubber or silicone instead of lead and then used an extremely reduced powder load, we'd probably have to do some tests to find the right load size, to fire them? It could be like paintball with revolvers, or it could end up with someone missing an eye.
What do you think /k/? Fun idea or really really stupid and dangerous idea?
>>27923176
Stupid
light shot + light load = squib hell
>>27923176
Like nonlethal rubber bullets? Go for it. Report back when you've broken a rib.
It could maybe be as safe as paintball if a low density projectile is used. You'd need a high speed camera to get everything just right. But why bother when clean shooting paintball markers require much less maintenance?
Well, shit...
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/11/18/new-isis-video-threatens-to-attack-times-square-in-new-york-city/
In the light of recent attacks, does /k/ look at this as a credible threat?
And I'm supposed to be visiting there on Sunday.
I know this could just be rhetoric at this point but we now know how bold ISIS can be.
>>27923146
you will be fine, stop letting the media frighten you
>>27923146
ISIS has claimed lots of shit. 99% of the time it's just bullshit.
Like how they apparently managed to "hack" a list of names and home addresses of military personnel and wanted to turn it into a hit list.
>>27923146
>credible
only 1 way to find out
otherwise that is what terrorists do - 1 despicable act - and then use it for leverage to terrorize people
I have a chance to get an HK USP .40 Compact DAO for 500 bucks in like new condition.
Is this a good idea? How do I know if it had the LEM trigger? It has night sights too.
Thanks for the help guys.
Comes with 2 mags
Good gun or no?
>>27923141
Wants 500 or to trade for a flock 19 Gen 4 which I have to trade.
My daily carry is a Steyr S9A1 but this HK interdasts me.
>>27923141
Not a huge fan of .40 but a USP is the gun to get if that's what you want something in .40. If it's really "like new" then that's a pretty damn good deal.
>>27923141
>how to know if lem trigger
They'll tell you and charge you more for it, also if you've ever shot another da/sa you should be able to tell.
Its a good price man if you have other guns in .40 do it, if you are specifically looking for a .40 do it. you can do much worse for that price lol.
Fuck you assholes for making me buy these.
On the other hand, What're y'all watchin?
Just waiting for a decent Sicario torrent and laughing at anti aircraft ppks.
>>27923148
Was that any good?
I think it looks like 'The Kingdom' Mexico Edition from the trailers.
Haven't seen anything to prove me wrong yet.
