Now that best korea is joining the h-bomb club, are you prepared for the inevitable nuclear endgame /k/?

Implying they could fit that thing into an ICBM. All their rockets failed to enter orbit or just broke down on the launch pad.

So did America's at first. Same for the Soviets.
Bre Ve is a friend on another forum. He trolled ATF pretty hard last night on FB.
Brian Terry's brother reached out to thank him and James Yeager offered him free classes for this post. He also started getting calls from media outlets tonight. All from this one post.
The first reply he received was "Get off this page" from an ATF agent named Becky Solis. Apparently she didn't get the response she expected because she deleted her post and locked down her FB profile. Sorry Becky, we thought you were used to being called a bitch.
Anyway,...

Have you guys actually learned anything from youtube?
Is pic related done? No videos posted in months.
Thanks to Hickock it's very easy to understand the differences between standard and subsonic ammunition, particularly 5.56.
I did not even think about the issues with cycling it would cause. Blew my mind that I overlooked it.

Barry taught me why you should never flip a revolver shut. I sure miss him.
Fuck eric and chad they suck.

This might sound shitty because I know everyone loves that dude, but I prefer the channel without him. Shit just moves faster. It always seemed like he would just spin into long-winded diatribes about random shit.
Seemed like a cool guy anyhow. Sucks that he died.
So how the fuck would modern militaries even kill this thing? Immune to nukes, immune to anything short of mecha-tier weaponry, what could be done?
>>28450681
immune to nukes? nope there is no such thing.
at point blank range nukes simple ionize and eliminate any material with the gamma rays in a 30 meter radius nothing will remain standing.

I'd open her red and white door if you know what I mean.
Yeah I got 1800 rounds of Thunderbolts for $40 last weekend. Want one?
Do you guys still have trouble finding .22? I got my first .22 only half a year ago and never had issues finding it in stock. To be fair some of the times they only had Eley target .22 because it's pricy stuff and no one wants it.
>buy used (looked unfired) 'mil-spec' 1911 from LGS for $380 out-the-door
>get it home, pack up the range bag
>thumb safety falls out of 1911 when in the safe position with the hammer back
I'm not carrying it and the plunger holds the thumb safety in the frame when in the fire position, but what the fuck? Is it broker or is it possible it was assembled incorrectly?
The Safety will only slide on when the hammer is fully cocked and in the safe position....

The Safety will only slide OUT when the hammer is fully cocked
>>28446624
check the plunger tube for a spring
that plunger should be touching the thumb safety regardless of position
you can only pull the thumb safetly out when its in the cocked position thats normal but the plunger should be keeping it from just falling out
>>28446669
Okay, so this is not normal. The plunger should be contact the Safety when in the safe position.
Hi /k/, new gun buyer here looking to buy my first handgun before Obama makes it lengthy/impossible to obtain.
I was looking at .357 revolvers, but decided I want a 9mm. I'm most interested in the S&W SD9VE. Cheap, reliable, all-around good starting gun from what I've read.
What does /k/ think? Apparently the trigger is the only issue with this gun, and at <400$ I don't think I can go wrong here.
If you want an SD9VE go ahead and jump for the M&Ps, better overall quality. They're fine carry weapons.
Go to the store and try out the weight, size, and how it feels in your hands.
Now prepare for the shotstorm
>>28449906
>shitstorm
I never visit /k/, sorry if I violated some board culture.
Thanks for the tip though.
>>28449933
You didn't, you're just going to get copypasta teling you to research 30 clones of Glocks, read five books, buy a Nugget, etc.
I try to jump on these threads before that happens.
.357 is a perfectly fine carry round, if you try out some 9mm and find the recoil too snappy then a revolver in .357's weight may be better for dampening that. .357 magnums can also fire lighter .38spcl rounds which are good for cheap range time.
And you will need to spend time gitting gud if you expect this...

Looking for some soft armor to keep around just in case It Happens. Tell me what you know, /k/.
How is Armour Wear's Spartan 3A Vest. Also, if anybody has any experience with that exact vest, how the fuck does the sizing work?
Bump?
OP, sadly /k/ will tell you shit-all about soft armor and has no idea what companies make good product. They'd much rather waste their money on AR500 plates.
>>28446384
Don't have experience with exact same vest, but Spartan is one of the big names in armor manufacturing, and it is to my understanding that they are pretty much all the same nowadays.
You can adjust the fit with those velcros, from the side and from the top.
Pick the size of your T-Shirt (S/M/L...) and you should do fine.
Why didn't the Germans build any aircraft carriers before/during WW2?
Genuinely curious as to what the reasons were.
>>28446222
Raeder was a "gun club" admiral who thought aircraft carriers were a fad.
Doenitz was rapidly promoted up from U-boat commander, meaning his experiences gave him a significant bias towards subs and away from a surface fleet. Therefore he worked with Speer to focus production on subs.
A lack of carriers really wasn't a huge liability for Germany until 1943, but if they had them, combined with trained crew and recon flying boats, it would have made convoys job more difficult and possibly...

>>28446291
This isn't a bad explanation. They were never going to be able to produce enough surface ships to truly challenge the allies, so carriers weren't vital to their operations.
The other reason? Germany is in the middle of Europe.
Everywhere they were really fighting they could drive to without a boat. Putting a bunch of money into expensive boats? A bad idea when you are fighting on the continent.
>>28446222
They had no experience from building them in the 20s/early 30s and the British or Americans sure as hell weren't willing to help them out.
They didn't have a need for carriers because the Luftwaffe wasn't being developed for long range combat (i.e against the British) and was designed for supporting ground operations with close air support. The Navy was hopelessly starved of planes by Goring when Naval-Recon could've greatly helped wolfpacks in the early war.
Japan/USA/UK were...
