Ask and answer stupid questions.
What's the difference between a battle rifle and an AR? And are ACRs any good?
>>30657862
ARs use intermediate cartidges like 5.56, 5.45, 6.8 SPC, 7.62x39, etc
BRs use full length rifle cartidges like 7.62x51 NATO
ACRs are OK, but are overpriced and lack many of the features that were supposed to make them unique.
>>30657862
The ar is an armalite pattern rifle.....
A battle rifle is a shoulder fired rifle in a full size cartridge.
vz61 skorpion in .32 or 9x18? .32 has the classic aesthetic and i have more of it but makarov is actual bullet
>>30658140
He meant Assault Rifle, obviously.
It's also worth noting that the term "Battle Rifle" may be used for rifles that aren't semi or full auto.
The MAS-36, for instance, would be considered a battle rifle by many.
where do i start in getting stuff to clean and maintain my guns? how do i get rid of and prevent scratches on my carry guns?
>>30658181
I've always made the distinction that a BR is a semi or full auto rifle in a full sized cartridge, while bolt guns are infantry rifles

This may be of interest to you.
>>30658120
what features?
Here's one for the future of combat.
Will soldiers use exosuits and adaptive camouflage or will it be to expensive and only SpecFor rely on future tech? And for that matter, what about tanks and aircrafts, will they use adaptive camouflage or only specific units?
I ask this because there's been headway made at the technology and there's been talks on having the standard soldier use such equipment.
>>30659155
Doesn't sound cost effective... I'm betting it'll be for special forces only
im going to start a collection of WW2 bolt guns
I have a k31 already
my plans are

1903 or a p17
what major rifle am I missing
Will the AK ALFA be worth $1800 or could I build a similar model with optics for less?
>>30658532
The 1/9 barrel killed it for me
>>30657862
I do hope people on /k/ know AR does not stand for assault rifle.
>>30659219
yeah but it pretty much does
>>30659155
Adaptive camouflage is a meme.
"Exo suits" are purposefully being designed for average infantry use. The point is that soldiers can carry full packs without getting awful back problems and joint issues by the time they leave the force, and that soldiers could move more effectively in full battle rattle. Basically lessening their burdens, not making them physically faster or stronger.
>>30659240
Sounds lame when you put it that way, I thought it would make you punch harder run faster and breath better.
>>30659262
Real life is lame, this isn't a video game.
Personally, the idea of being able to carry 180 pounds of shit and have it feel like 30 pounds excites the hell out of me, but I guess that's just the way it is.
>>30659155
The thing about general issue camouflage is that it makes no difference in 75% of situations soldiers face on the modern battlefield. That is to say, as long as it breaks up your outline and remotely matches the terrain, it's going to perform as well as any other pattern meeting the same criteria. Issuing an expensive active camo system to general infantry is spending a ton of money for negligible gain, if any at all.
As far as vehicles, stealth tech is essentially what you're talking about and it exists already.
>>30659190
Krag Jorgensen
>>30659302
Aww, but why would a soldier need that much to carry? Or realistically 30 Lbs feeling like five. But still, revision made it look so cool in their video.
>>30657862
What should my next gun be? I'm thinking of getting a revolver like a GP100
>>30659202
That, and the lack of caliber conversion kits promised at launch.
>>30659340
Let me break out the image. Those numbers were off the top of my head, so I may be remembering wrong, but when you march through the mountains in a place like Afghanistan, you can't take vehicles, so you're basically bound to what you can carry on your backs. On multi day marches, you gotta carry all your food, water, gear, shit gets heavy.
>>30659340
Shlepping ammo boxes, crates, mortar rounds, artillery shells, etc. with a team doesn't sound like a picnic to me, much less by myself. If I can get the help, even in a suit, I'll take it.
Why do niggers love .40 so much? Serious question, is there actually a reason that .40 is so beloved by niggers? It's not like they'd care about any real advantages ballistics wise.
>>30659375
Maybe you shouldn't be fighting an endless war in Afghanistan that we're losing. Also that pack makes no sense why can't you drive up the mountain your just as exposed.
>>30659416
its a rap meme. 40 is useless.
>>30659421
I seriously hope you're not actually this stupid. Outside of the completely unrelated endless war comment (which makes me believe you're just trolling and not actually mentally retarded), most random mountains in bumfuck Hajistan don't have access roads or lovely vehicle trails. Try taking your car up the side of a steep and uneven hill sometime, then tell me how you had to walk home.
>>30659453
9mm is the common rap caliber though.
>>30659388
That sounds stressful. Moving all that around, is it really gonna make the mission easier?
>>30659471
Not familiar with the terrain, why not nation build and pave some highways???
>>30659496
3/10, you got me to reply twice.
If I wanted a book that would pretty much cover all ammunition details and everything of all calibers ever made, what would you recommend?
>>30657862
Would it be possible to pull the bullets from .30-06 AP rounds and load them into .308 rounds? Would I need to take any special precautions or could I just use an existing loading for that bullet weight? I'm interested in doing this for reasons.
>>30659234
But it doesn't

No I got you 3 times

Such as
I'm getting ready to build an AR-15 from an 80% lower. I'm fairly new to guns in general, but I'm anticipating a SHTF sort of happening soon and I don't think my dad's 12 gauge and .22 hunting rifle aren't going to cut it.
Anyway, I've got two questions:
1. Is there a particular brand you guys would recommend for 80% lowers? I'm aware that I can just Google 80% lowers and buy one, but I'm afraid of spending a good chunk of money on a piece of shit, and this is something that isn't mentioned in the sticky.
2. What exactly does completing an 80% lower entail? I'd look into this myself, but I'm on mobile and at work, so I can't really dig into it very much until I'm off. I've read threads in the past where people have mentioned that the only tools you really need. Is that true? Because I have both, so I'm hoping it is.
>>30659791
>I've read threads in the past where people have mentioned that the only tools you really need
Fuck, I meant to add "are a drill press and a vice. "
How likely is it that I'm going to fuck up an 80% lower build? I'm getting the easy jig but I've no machining experience whatsoever.
>>30659791
1. stay away from anything forge casted, or polymer
2. This picture should cover it
>>30658213
Yeah but no one cares about your personal definition when there is a widely accepted definition that disagrees with yours.
>>30659982
My definition is the actual correct one. Be less of a faggot and look up a modern definition of a battle rifle.
>>30658181
>Assault Rifle
Get. Out.
>>30659925
Someone should add this to the wiki sticky.
>>30659302
Heh, you don't think they'd still make you carry 180lbs of "felt" weight if that happened?
Are there any /k/ommandos in the Portland, OR area that wants to go shooting? In from Ohio
>>30657862
Does the G3A4 have any kind of buffer or is the rifle just left to have a shorter lifespan?

Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thanks, anon.

You're welcome hope it helps to clear things up

Your average civilian semi autos aren't assault rifles, but when a gun has a option to be set to fully automatic, they are by definition a assault rifle.
It was clear he was talking about fully automatic guns, you fucking retard.

Nothing wrong with wikipedia. Third party test have shown that it has on average 1 more error than encyclopedia Britannica per article and that for scientific articles is often more up to date because of the ability for it to be edited by professionals.
It's the accepted definition.
>>30661381
>The designation of battle rifle is usually given to post-World War II SELECT FIRE infantry rifles such as the FN FAL, the M14, BM59 and the H&K G3.[1] This term also describes older military full-powered SEMI-AUTOMATIC rifles such as the M1 Garand, the MAS-49 and the FN-49.

>all self-loading rifles
Please men work with me here. or at least read your source.
>>30657862
there were a lot of issues with the first batch. supposedly they fixed them, but the damage was already done, then you add on the salt to the wound of Remington/bushmaster promising all this cool stuff and NEVER delivering on it.
wait for the FB Radom MSBS. but that is looking ot be at least two years out.(they're trying to get the Polish mil. contract, then fill said contract before they start with civilian sales. they already have a facility set up here in the states for when they do start shipping them in.)
>>30660334
It does have a buffer. the tab to unlock the stock swivels off of it. BUT it is about at least 1/3 shorter than a solid stock buffer so recoil tends to be a hair harsher. life span is about the same.
>>30661237
Well Id start off by first gething a new complete upper and lower and then throwing all the left over parts in the trash

I'm convinced you don't know how to read. I mean if you give advise like that I would assume you would follow it, at least enough to get through the first sentence.

Not one single weapon on the list is not self loading. You're the only person who thinks bolt guns are battle rifles.

Alright /k/ I want to get my girlfriend a bow for her birthday to practice archery. Any suggestions, i'm trying spend ~$100
>>30661757
Archery is for fags get her a gun
>>30660204
Probably until some guys have their exorigs break and they get stuck with a gorrilion pounds of gear they can't move.
>>30661822
I tried my best anon, she just doesn't like guns. But she likes archery
>>30659190
good list. i'm planning something similar, and have a k31, PU mosin, type 99 (what a piece of shit, glad it was inherited and not bought), and have started plans to build an 03/a3.
Still a little butthurt that my couldn't give a shit cousin got the chrysanthemum (wow how did i spell that right first try?) arisaka my grandpa had, I chose an SAA instead.
Should I get a yugo mauser? or are they a shit?
>>30659728
The answer is yes for the WM, depends for .308, you will want to have a grain weight sub 180 or so for .308. there just isn't powder in the cartridge to push a large bullet at useful speeds if you get too large, also you will get longer bullets pushed into your powder, which can be bad.
>>30659190
K98
>>30661757
I am by no means a bow expert but i don't think you can get a decent quality bow for under $250.
Also compound bows need to have draw length set which usually requires a bow press. Most shops will do it for free if you buy the bow there. I would offer to take her to pick out a bow for her birthday. Or just buy her a .22 and be done with it.
>>30661970
I too am trying to assemble a WW2 rifle collection. I'd go with a k98 for the sake of WW2. M48s are good guns too (they're the fucking same), but lack the history and I don't think a WW2 collection would be complete without a K98
What is the distance between the top of an AK dustcover, and the center of the optics rail on the side?

Neat I hear people bitch about the buttpad, but I guess ill find out.
How do I fix a canted barrel shroud on an AR15
>>30659190
M48 wasn't in Ww2 I'm sure you already know this. I know it's a K98 place holder but if you save up your money a real K98 is really something to be proud of. Though an M48 isn't bad.
>>30659190
Also you need an M39 even though it's a Nugget it's still great to get.
>>30661381
It's also heavily subject to politically motivated censorship and revision. And can be edited by literally anyone.
Wikipedia is great. But it should never be referred to as a definitive authority. To do so would be to literally let your perspective be defined by unscrupulous powers.

9. You'll actually be able to afford shooting the gun, and it's more common

I would avoid it. Kalashnikov USA has yet to actually release a gun, and won't even specify what they use to make them.
