I've noticed that we don't discuss optics much here, at least as is own topic. Anyway, I'm looking for a rare sight and could use some help. Anyone know where I can get my hands on a 1P59 "giperon" scope? It's like they only exist in pictures.
Help, I know one of you faggots has one.
No?
God, nu-/k/ is such shit.
I've been thinking on getting a shotgun to add to my line of home defense items.
I've only shot skeet with friends a couple of times so my shotgun knowledge is limited.
I've done some research and I'm coming up to three models of shotguns and I may regret this, but I'm wondering what you guys think of the following models:
Remington Model 870
Remington Model 1187
Mossberg 500
Mossberg 590
I looked them all over at my local Cabellas and the only thing I like about the Mossberg's is that they will have the capability of having...

Get the mossberg 500 home and field combo if you're going to be using it for both HD and clays/hunting. Get a pre-freedom group (police magnum preferably) 870 if you want an 870. 590 if you're going for HD only.
>>29897588
get a mossberg maverick 88, its a discount mossberg 500 that costs $200.
Mossberg 500s are pretty cheap, I've picked up two, both were about 150 used, 18 and 28 inch barrels. I also picked up a used 870 tactical for 250. I prefer the 870, it just feels better than my 500s, but they are all good guns. Just look locally online, someone is always selling a decently priced 12 gauge
So I've been genuinely wondering this for a while.
When aiming down a site on a gun (be it iron sites or a holographic site) Are you supposed to close one eye or keep both eyes open?
If so, which method is better?
Do whatever works best for you, sunshine.
Both open for situational awareness. But since you're not a wannabe muhreen, just do whatever's most comfortable.

Either will work
The Wild Geese is fuckin' gnarly. FALs, UZIs, Roger Moore, Rhodesians for christ's sake. My new fav combat flick. Add your own favs, but no Enemy at the Gates or Saving Private Ryan. We've been through this already.

TWG would be GOAT if there was a recut that dropped some of the fat that has aged horribly. As it stands, its a good movie, but there are long stretches that are just cringe central. As if the saffer would have actually given a fuck about serving with darkies in a mercenary company.
What are some good blunt weapons, /k/? Also, what's the best and cheapest pair of brass knuckles I can but?
Rock in a sock
PR-24, 36" riot baton, 3+ De cell maglight, wrecking bar, demolition hammer, Louisville Slugger.

meme weapon. you have such a small margin of effectiveness, and that margin is wildly uncontrollable. if you have the time to prepare rocks in a sock, you have time to prepare literally anything else. where theres rocks, theres sticks
So, what exactly would happen if someone were to destroy a nuclear submarine in the ocean? Would it irradiate the ocean or do the reactors have some sort of safety shut off?
And if you must ask, yes, I am watching The Hunt for Red October.
>>29897438
well, working off of the findings from the uss thresher and the soviet sub, it bleeds radiation for a long, long time.
basically an underwater chernobyl, not fun shit.

but it doesn't really matter because the ocean is a huge place.
>>29897438
Considering 12in of water reduces bassically all radiation to about zero. It's probably not that bad.
I'm drunk and listening to and reading a lot of creepypasta/spoopy stories.
A lot of it boils down to people being in their house or out and about and being the target of some strange individual or whatnot.
Being a fairly well stocked and semi-experienced gun owner I cringe when stories end up with basically this:
>I retreat to my bathroom and call the police who say they'll be there in 10 minutes
Thankfully I've never been in such a situation, but I've just been thinking about how glad I am to live...

I've pointed the AR at the door while somebody tried to kick it in.
Same with people coming into my house at night.
Drew down on folks for work, responding to burglary alarms etc.
Haven't had to shoot anybody, thankfully. Came pretty close a few times.

Am OP.
The most recent, notable event was about a month or two ago.
I live in a house in suburbia with a roommate, who is my closest friend that I've known since 7th grade and we have both owned guns since were like 12.
I usually work pretty late and it's pretty common for me to get home past midnight, he works a normalfag 9-5 sort of gig. Usually keep the door unlocked until I get home.
So one night, get off work, around midnight. His truck is in the driveway and his light is off in his room so I assume he's asleep - lock the door behind me.
Around 2-3AM, hear the doorbell ring. Freak out. From time to time when he gets locked out, he'll either frantically ring the doorbell or hold it down - this did not sound like him.
Grab revolver, check the sliding glass door to make sure it's latched, make my way to the front door.
I can see it's him through the glass in the door and let him in just before I have to tactically shit myself.
His buddy had picked him up and they went out drinking.
>>29897342
Holy fuck, I just heard one that was worse than anything I've ever heard - worse than the damn "just rack you shotgun" meme.
On an unrelated note, my manager at work mentioned that he had been woken by a knock on his door at 11PM. Instead of doing the reasonable thing and answering the door with a pistol up to the door, he just went up and looked who it was through the peephole.
I had interrupted him and exclaimed "that's a situation where you check the door with a pistol up...

How many of you guys have shot someone?

I shot 30 feet above someone once. Laughed as he screamed when dove shot fell down on him.

What made the Panzer so great versus other tanks? Is it true that Sherman's were almost useless against them?
I don't want to be convinced by the History Channel, so I'd like some clarification here.
Depends really, panzer just translates into tank from german. The panzer 1 and 2 were just more scout tanks with very little armor and poor armament. The panzer 3 and 4 were basically equivalent to the sherman and T34 in most aspects. The panzer 5 was mobile and had exceptionally armored and outperformed allies medium tanks pretty easily. The panzer 6 tiger 1 was exceptional when it was introduced in 1943 but became lees effective later in the war. The panzer 6 tiger 2 was probably the most heavily armored and well armed tanks in the war, so it outperformed basically anything...

Mostly it was superior crews, radios and aggressive tactics. The panzers themselves weren't that great. Especially early in the war when Panzer 1 and 2's were well outclassed by British and French tanks in both size and numbers and then later when Panzer 3 and 4's started encountering Russian KV-1's and T-34/76's.
The Sherman was one the best medium tanks of the war along with the T-34/85* and in no particular order: the Panther, Panzer IV and the Comet. It was of course outclassed by German heavy tanks, but that is rather the point of a heavy...

Which sheath position gives you the fastest draw of the knife?
you could have just googled it faggot

I did. Didn't find any good results.
Don't know, but I was always told to keep it away from my neck. Guess why
I know you can get anything into anywhere somehow, there's always a loophole
What would be the best way for a civilian Australian to get a rifle into Australia, without being flagged by customs, popo or feds?
>>29896789
Apply for license, purchase rifle, I've purchased numerous rifles without customs, the popo or feds bothering me.

What a well sourced image you have there.
The abos are out of fucking control. They need to be culled.
Two days ago, I lost a duck to turtles (yes, TURTLES!!) in my pond. Last night, I found a 6 foot snake in the hen house, which I dispatched with an axe (although not before it struck at me twice).
So, I'm finally ready to buy a varmint gun like my wife has been begging me for the past 5 years.
I'm an ex-Marine weapons platoon sgt who fired high expert with his M-14 or M-16 at the rifle range four years straight, so I know about guns and how to handle them. However, I've never owned a weapon as a civilian so know little about civilian weaponry, and...

A used single barrel H&R or Mossberg 500 are probably the cheapest options. .410 is perfectly adequate for critters.

Didn't find a fitting thread, so here we go.
Is there a gun where the trigger is above the barrel?
Why don't more firearms use helical magazines?
Why is the mateba design, where the barrel is on the 6 position of a revolver so rare? Does the claim it helps accuracy not hold up?
Is the gun in the picture all hype, or the dislike some people have of it is production issues?
some one tell me that the fuck the purpose of this is
>>29896485
It's good for hiding Monsters from dickholes with shiny bits that like to ruin your fun. It shoots smoke to hide the tank.

Those are the tank's whiskers
They help the tank to sense its surroundings and orientation
