okay so lets talk tank tracks, i'm going to make a track design with a 3d program, 3d print it and use the result as a model for a plaster cast with which i'm going to cast aluminum tracks for my rc tank
here's the (very basic) 3d modelling program
https://www.tinkercad.com/
and here are my design ideas so far
https://www.tinkercad.com/users/6UD8qJvY3l6-tank-tracks
so, any suggestions for how the tracks should be like?
>>29489394
What's the scale of your tank? Also what model?
It's gonna be a bitch to drill and possibly ream every single link for the peg anyway.
>>29489394
Looks nice and intricate, how much power will your tank have and what's its weight?
>>29491402
>>29491423
i'm using the electronics of my old buggy so about 1-2kg i will design the chassis myself.
i will place the pins of the tracks inside of the mold so that they form the holes and i wont have to drill them.
Should suicidal people have access to firearms?
Once
>>29489384
Nope. They shouldn't have access to knives, alcohol, drugs, cars, lighters, or tall buildings. We should just put anyone in prison who has ever had a bad day.

Glorious swords thread. What swords/bladed weapons did your country use in the past?
Literally it slew more people than the nuclear bomb
>>29489371
A good sword for chopping unarmed peasants and utterly useless in any duel resembling situation

Oh please tell me how the mighty katana is different?
Sup /k/ I just picked up a Walther PPQ 45 and put about 100 rnds through it. I generally feel more comfortable with .45's but I was sort of meh with the PPQ. I love the feeling in my hand, I love the trigger, and I love the sights but actually shooting it was a little disappointing. I might just need to get used to it. Anyone else have a PPQ in 45? Thoughts?
>>29489300
Wife uses ppx in 9 for EDC. Crisp trigger short reset easy spot sights and 16 round mag with almost too comfortable grip. Walther is the best value in guns. First timers or collectors won't be disappointed. She's more accurate with mine but no surprises @$600 more it'd Better be
>>29489585
I was gonna pick up a 1911 for about $950 but sort of fell in love with the feel of the PPQ. Kinda wish I had gotten the 1911 but I saved money and I can always get a 1911 later. I don't foresee them being hard to find any time soon. Eventually I want to pickup an FNx .45

>Sup /k/ I just picked up a Walther PPQ 45
If you don't want it I'll take it!

"PTS"? Why not "PTSD"?

Also, recent acquisition thread.

Those are fucking nice. How'd you come across it?
What makes something "mallninja"?
I just got this because it's a $30 short sword, and I'm arguing with myself whether it's mallninja or not.
>>29489192
no fucking argument
you're a mallninja
Everything is mallninja.
>>29489192
>$30 all black short sword with 3 inches of serration
mallninja as fuck like 12/10
New 20 round mag for 9mm hipoint carbines. Looks fucked up but supposedly works better than the shitty promags
>>29489103
id get a highpint carbine if these were realible
Why can't anyone make a very long single feed double stacked magazine instead of having one huge single feed single stack magazine.
Just never go prone
Hey /k/, I would like your assistance in identifying some of these rifles, I can't tell what any of those in the left column are, I think the 2nd from the top is an FN-FAL but not sure?

dont think this one helps but whatever
last one a view of the whole stash
So I've never put much thought into being prepared before but a few months ago I got a new neighbor. He's this delightful elderly Christian-prepper and we met after I invited him to come to a men's ministry group I'm a part of. Since then he's really got me thinking a lot about being prepared to help others and I believe that this is something I should do. There is no better tactical board than /k/ ( Luv ya, guys! ) and I figured I'd make my first stop here. I found this a few days ago ( see vid below, pic related ) and it seems like a decent first-purchase...

He's going to rape you
>>29489082
Don't go any further! >.> I'm confident he wouldn't be able to or want to.
So how is Schrade as a company? I had one of their knives as a kid but I heard they closed allowing a new company to open under the name and manufacture in China. Only reason I havn't bought the pen or any of their knives yet.
>>29489070
It's got a good rape whistle, I'd keep it on you so the ministry guy doesn't get to rape you... unless it's not rape
FAMAS is shit, and literally everybody knows it.
Also it looks stupid.
>>29488989
Its accurate as fuck though.
>>29488989
its not shit
french make good firearms
>>29488989
I am salty as fuck that no company is making a semi-only "totally not a FAMAS" and releasing it to the North American markets. I love the look.
I've had an idea concerning making a simple and relatively cheap gas seal revolver that doesn't use special snowflake ammo.
Essentially its a taurus judge with a nagant revolver mechanism and a pancor jackhammer style cylinder/barrel interface (barrel forcing cone presses into a conical depression at the mouth of the chamber, expanding crimp of the shotshell seals any small gap left between the two).
I was also thinking six o'clock barrel because that allows you to use a fuckhueg suppressor without blocking the sights. I also thought you could...

Enjoy your 50 pound trigger pull
>>29488938
have you sent this to kel tec yet?
>>29488949
I'm thinking 5 shot cylinder to reduce travel, rotating and camming forward done by the same part, etc. to reduce trigger pull.
Or just make it an auto revolver.
Does anyone here own a lever-action rifle? How do you like them compared to bolt action or semi-auto? Are there any obvious lemons besides pre-2015 Marlins?
I'm considering one in 30-30 myself. It seems like a decent round for plinking and shooting whitetail.
I'd take a .243 over 30-30 any day of the week tbqh. Lever actions are neat though
>>29488919
Yeah, but who sells lever-action .243? Remington and Marlin don't appear to.
There is literally a thread up of this on the front page
Fucking kill yourself
Chief Joe Medicine Crow-High Bird has died at 102.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Medicine_Crow
I have started a White House petition to get the next Army helicopter or tiltrotor named after him and his tribe.
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/have-us-army-name-their-next-helicopter-or-tiltrotor-crow-honor-joe-medicine-crow-high-bird-and-his-tribe
Please help me get it signed.
>Name the next helicopter the "High Bird".
Seems kinda redundant, anon.
>>29488918
It would be the Crow, dingus.
An improved variant could be the Crow War Chief.
F. Signed.
Anyone here have experience with commercially built lorica segmentata armor? im going to be using it for some small reenactment next year (no, not a christian thing) Im feeling unsure about the quality of the brass pieces that make up the binding parts.
any recommendations where to find a decent one?
>not being a ferrarius
>not fabricoring your own set
>>29490245
>ferrarius
ive not got the time nor the tools for that
>>29488834
>no, not a christian thing
why would Roman reenactment be a Christian thing?
