Tanks should carry a trailer full of fuel like pic related. Then they wouldn't get stranded so much, like they did in the Gulf War.
A quick release from the driver's seat would let them ditch it instantly if they got attacked or something.
This is a trailer designed for the Crusader tank btw
>>29713606
I got a better idea, make a more fuel efficient engine rather than slap a jet engine onto a tank chassis like with the Abrams.
>>29713706
Like a diesel? Makes sense to me. Would let infantry walk close to an Abrams without getting 3rd degree burns too.
Discussing the current election should be allowed on /k/ from now on because the outcome will directly affect everyone on this board.

Hillary isn't even going to win. Once Trump is done dealing with establishment Republicans and Ted Cruz, he's going to set his sights on Hillary.
She's about to get the schlonging of a lifetime.
>>29713561
I think 90% of the board would agree with you.
But faggot shit posting refugee redditors and freedom hating mods don't allow it. Threads just move to /pol/ where reasonable discussions cannot be had.
>>29713570
I doubt it. Shillary is going to beat Trump. She is going to lie, cheat, steal, bribe, coerce, and buy herself the White House. Wait until she asks Elizabeth Warren to be her running mate and then they pull all of the angry Bernie faggots...

Can anyone identify this handgun?
The idiots at Vice really believe that it's a Walther P99 found on an IS soldier.
>>29713526
It look like khyber pass made gun
>>29713526
Looks like a Beretta compact of some sort.
>>29713578
Yes. But Beretta's have slide mounted safeties and they have markings on the slide.
Hey, no gunz here out in california, I found some old high cap mags my grandpa bought before the ban. Can anyone ID this mag for me?
Here's the side angle

And the bottom
How much does barrel length actually matter for civilian purposes?
Been looking at getting an AR-15 and really wondering if it would be worth it to go with a long barrel or just get a 14.5 with pinned muzzle break?
How much does it affect the gun performance? Would it make a difference to a normal civilian shooter just popping targets in the back yard?
Seems like a 14.5 would be easier to handle than a 16 or a 20.
>>29713111
Carbine go 11.5-14.5
Midlength go 16.1"
Rifle go 20"
This is if you want absolute reliability with a stoner gas system
When you start going 14.5 middies or 16 carbines you run into issues
your 14.5 ends up being 16 anyways cause the flashider adds like an inch and a half anyways
it makes no difference
hell even 20 is perfectly manageable indoors unless you are in a car or closet
a pinned flashhider will fuck with performance in the long term since crap will build up under it leading to a loss in accuracy(dont worry about it this is like thousands of rounds later)
since its fixed its a real pain in the ass to clean
>>29713111
>Been looking at getting an AR-15
20" or bust.
Hey K, what kind of AR is this?

I know this is old as time itself, but does anyone on /k/ actually prefer .45 acp to 9mm? Here's some expert opinions by the way:
http://www.tactical-life.com/gear/45-acp-vs-9mm-ammo/#bsum-9mm-win
Didn't read. Thanks for the pic.
Prefer it? Yes, I prefer it. I love the way it shoots, I love the way it feels, I love how god damn big the rounds are compared to other pistol cartridges.
But my carry gun is a 9mm, because as much as I LIKE the fuddyfahv, in terms of ballistics, recoil, and capacity it is equivalent at best and inferior at worst.
>>29713055
Who is that qt in the pic?
Sup /k/? I have decided my first rifle is going to be M1 carbine. Keeping it iron site. Any recommendations on brand or other tips?
Stick the barrel into your rectum
buy a copy of Larry Ruth's owner's guide. it's a pretty concise resource.
if you're doing it as a collector's thing it has a ton of historical information too.

China doesn't have allies.

>Please be as indepth as you can
You first. An in-depth analysis requires an in-depth scenario to analyze. Tell us what China wants, and why, and we'll see.
>>29712745
I'll ask the Chinese lady who jacks me off after a nice backrub.
What do you think?
Anyone own a gun store? why wouldn't you lan transfer a gun
>>29712712
Shit, I was gonna post this thread.
Which of you assholes disappointed the Ian?

I didn't know this either
This is all news to me
What is the best APC/IFV around today?
>>29712655
In terms of what? Firepower? Protection? Mobility?
>>29712662
Overall desu.
Just a curiosity since there are fuckload of models around the world.
I see the the BTR is pretty good on Firepower and Protection,

Kurganets is xboxhueg, Bradley is obsolete, Stryker has wheels (lol), Namer perfectly fills in an Israel-sized niche, BMP-3 a shit gun
did I miss anyone important?
Why is no one talking about this ?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okD1D8Z-d68
Pretty sure this shit happened all the fucking time a few decades ago.
I am more interested in the whole China Sea crisis more since that does feel like something that's going to tip over.
and i'm sure if the Russians had a Navy we'd do the same

So my girlfriend and I are buying a house soon and I've decided that I'm going to use the garage as a shop. I intend to build a small forge and metal furnace in order to make stuff, but I have one thing I want to make a shitload of. 80% lowers.
Does anyone know how much aluminum shrinks after casting? Have a CAD drawing for an AR lower, AK receiver (While iirc it can't be aluminum it can be forged steel), FAL receiver or even a G3/PTR91 receiver?
Also, general weapon smithing thread I guess.
http://www.cncguns.com/downloads.html
the igs files open fine in solidworks, I never bothered putting CAD on my home computer. And the blueprint files are just pdfs and are decent. I'm not downloading some random exe though.
I want a home forge and machine shop...I just don't really want my own home...
pic of pdf blueprint for ar10
Sweet, thanks bro! Once I get the house and get set up I'll post up to show the work. I suspect some people on /k/ will want a lower or 2.
Why do you guys obsess over these weapons when you shoud fear the day you might actually have to use them. Guns aren't toys to fuck around with. They're meant to kill people.You're all just faggots with inferiority complexes that want a gun to feel "powerful".

Any /k/entuckians here enjoying the airshow?
Here's a livestream of the local news for anyone else wanting to watch some shit. Luckily I live around 2 to 3 miles from Bowman Field where all the civilian aircraft take off and land at so I get a few flying over my house.
A-10 inbound.
