Post big girls.
Hey /k/ what you think of this guy as The Punisher?
>>28377232
Nope. Tom Hardy should have been chosen.
>>28377241
>Tom Hardy
Its a tv series not a big budget movie.
>>28377241
This desu senpai
Fund it.
Alright /k/, I just got paid and due to the fact that I have few bills and a ton of disposable income I want a new firearm. The budget to spend is $600-800. At the moment I have:
>1 Mosin in 54r
>2 Mausers in 8mm, and 7.65 arg
>1 black powder revolver in .44 cal
>1 completed AR15 lower
I figure I want to expand my collection to include a .22 or something else. Can /k/ recommend me something good? Keep in mind that I'm not yet 21 so super neat handguns are out of the question.
Bump, I'm not asking about just .22lr, I'm talking about all firearms available to someone pre-21

Ruger 10/22 ammo and sick mawds
Finish that AR
No more NFA!
All machine guns, sbr, sbs, aow, and silencers are now legal in Wyoming!
Time to move.

Now if they get rid of all those damn injuns it would be paradise on earth.
These kind of laws aren't new. In the end, Federal law trumps State law so the point is moot. Also, every single one of these nullification laws I've read has exempted machine guns. Have you read the bill?
>All machine guns, sbr, sbs, aow, and silencers are now legal in Wyoming!
They were legal before.
>Time to move
You do that, bud.

I'd probably move there anyway, but there isn't a big population of /k/ members that hail from there so that'd mean driving that much farther for meetups.
A friend sent me an email about these Hell cannons with some fear mongering about them being built in the US. Basically they are home made mortars that a welded together from plumbing and propane supplies.
I was curious about the payload used in these homemade mortars... So you know I can help the ATF be on the look out for baddies that dont love Merica. And like science and stuff.
I am guessing they use black or smokeless powder to launch the round, but I'm not sure how they detonate the payloads. Also in the following images that have a white powder mixed into the "hell cannon powder"
Also ATF I don't even know how to wield. Im just holding that machine for a friend.

a basic pressure trigger is not that hard to drum up, especially when your pressure tolerance is "metal slamming into asphalt at terminal velocity"

Army needs volunteers to eat only MREs for 21 days straight
Dear god, the turd will be like a bowling ball...
So basically like going on training. I don't see what the problem is, MREs are delicious.
>>28377207
>So Anon, the experiment would only allow individual testing of each packaged MRE flavor for three weeks.
>What do I get sir?
>You get, uh, Vegetable Omelet.
>>28377207
God, I want to see the progress noted on this study.
> Day 1: Subject is in good spirits, saying "I love MREs! I used to eat them with my Dad on camping trips. I get to eat the pound cake AND help my nation's army? Sounds like a win-win to me!"
> Day 5: Subject is still happy and excited about the project: "They're not bad at all. Some of the meals are even great. I love the spaghetti and meatballs. And of course, the pound cake is always good."
> Day 10: Subject has become quite subdued as of late and has abandoned his recent attempts at mixing meal components to create hybrid foods: "Goddamnit, I don't care if you mix that shit with grape jelly... there is no fucking way to make the chicken and rice edible. It's just fucking horrid. What if.... what if they just made the entire MRE out of those tiny Tabasco bottles? It would be an improvement."
> Day 15: Subject is alternately sullen and angry, demanding dietary fiber supplements and/or release from the project. Both have been denied: "Seriously. I need to shit. Nothing has come out of my asshole in a week. I... I need something, guys. I hear voices at night. They're coming from inside me. Please. I need to shit. Metamucil. Fucking Brussels sprouts. I don't care. I need to get rid of this thing."
> Day 20: Subject is noncommunicative with staff and has been muttering to himself in a language not understood by others. He has also decorated the inside of his habitat with strange runes painted with the jalapeño cheese portion of the MRE meals: "Chtullu.... Chtullhu ftaghnh hai...... he sleeps... he hungers....."
Let's post some outlandish looking race guns ITT. I'm not particularly concerned with their overall functionality or the quality of the parts used, just post some really weird looking guns. I'll start off with a few I just got from googling "race gun".
The reason, if anybody is interested, is that I just started getting into USPSA shooting. I haven't shot my first match yet but I've taken the class and watched a few of the matches, and some of those guys look like they're packing fucking alien ray guns. Having been raised in a family of hunters and only just gotten into pistol shooting in the last year or so, I've never seen this kind of stuff before and I'm wondering what else is out there.
As a side note, I'm really nervous about shooting actual matches. I could definitely be a better shot and I get performance anxiety especially with a bunch of strangers watching me. I know the rules and what will be expected of me but if anybody has any tips or anything else to put my mind at ease, it'd be much appreciated.

Are these raceguns for ants?
Hey guys. Looking into building a 6 inch 1911
I have 0 experience on building 1911s. I was wondering if I could buy a 1911 lower, build it up and put a 6 inch slide on it or if I have to order a long slide lower if there is such a thing.
Full disclaimer I am pretty drunk and just started researching while watching John Wick
Also sexy long slide general thread I suppose
no it would be bad just like a regular 1911.
its 2015 get a glock.
>>28371628
I am fully aware of the advantages of a glock. Unfortunately I live in a shitty state (NY) where mag capacity means nothing
I carry a full size 1911 daily so clearly I like them. Glock is in the works at some point
>>28371628
Just want something sexy I can dick around with at the range
>dumping water on someone's face
Why do people bitch and moan about this "torture"?
>>28369084
I tried it with my neighbor. Fucking sucks ass. I'd rather take getting beaten with a bat anyday.
>>28369084
Because It simulates drowning you dumb fuck.
>has never been water boarded or been near to drowning
Have someone try it on you. Make sure you're lying back on an incline, and the shirt or whatever is already soaked.
I guarantee a little trickle of water down your nose, and you're gonna panic. Now try it with entire buckets of water, for hours at a time.
It's fucking unpleasant at best, horribly terrifying at worst. It can also be dangerous.
Trying to gauge /k/'s sentiments on the EOTech lawsuit.
Will you be returning your EOTech sight(s) due to the recent findings of USSOCOM and the FBI?

>By early 2006, Defendants knew that their sights failed to perform as represented. At hot and cold temperatures, the sights experienced a condition known as “thermal drift,” meaning that the sight’s point of aim differed from its point of impact. EOTECH’s own internal tests showed that some models experienced drift of 6 to 12 minutes of angle (“MOA”), i.e., 6 to 12 inches per 100 yards. Even though EOTECH’s contracts with DOD required disclosure of any information concerning the reliability of the sights, EOTECH did not disclose this defect to DOD until 2015, after the FBI discovered the problem and presented its findings to EOTECH.
>In 2007, Defendants became aware of a separate performance failure in cold temperature, known internally as “cold weather distortion.” At around 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the sight’s aiming dot became distorted, affecting accuracy by 12 MOA, increasing to 20 MOA at 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Defendants did not disclose this defect from DOD for more than a year, until EOTECH had a fix in place. EOTECH then presented the fix as an upgrade to a product that conformed to specifications, and did not disclose that the entire stock of sights that DOD had purchased since 2004 was defective.
Thoughts?
>>28369011
>Will you be returning your EOTech sight(s) due to the recent findings of USSOCOM and the FBI?
>Buying Eotechs
Kek. This formally vindicates what shooting instructors, veterans, and large parts of the shooting community have been saying for years.
The only reason people bought Eotechs was because of blind worship of SOF equipment, and they couldn't wrap their brains around the idea that even operators get issued equipment that might not be their preference, and that equipment is purchased by bureaucrats.
>>28369043
>they couldn't wrap their brains around the idea that even operators get issued equipment that might not be their preference
That's the dilemma, though:
For me, target acquisition is significantly with an EOTech compared to an aimpoint. I much prefer the wider field of view and the more details hologram.
It sucks because nobody else offers an optic with a similar wide field of view + detailed hologram. The only one on the market appears to be defective, and the company that makes them appears to be in the business of putting combat personnel in harm's way.
>>28369080
>significantly
significantly faster**
Are these masks safe to use? How long do the filters last once out of the package?
Don't know and would not recommend risking it. If you're willing to spend thousands of dollars on your AR or whatever, it's optics and all tacticool shit you've bought incase of SHTF but aren't willing to buy a brand new CBRN -rated masks with extra filters for yourself and your family you are a moron who deserves to die coughing blood due to mustard gas..
If it's VX masks don't protect shit since that stuff can be absorbed through skin..
>>28368128
I'm worrying about tear gas, and possibly mustard since ISIS has mustard.

>In 2016 Rosoboronexport (part of the Rostec State Corporation) will begin to promote the Uran-9 combat multipurpose robotic system in the international market. The Uran-9 is designed to provide remote reconnaissance and fire support to combined arms, recon and counter-terror units. It consists of two recon and fire support robots, a tractor for their transportation and a mobile control post.
>The armament of the recon and fire support robots includes the 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and Ataka ATGMs. The armament mix may vary depending on customer requirements. The robots are fitted with a laser warning system and target detection, identification and tracking equipment. The Uran-9 will be particularly useful during local military and counter-terror operations, including those in cities. Its use will significantly reduce personnel casualties.

This is a small rant, but its quite stunning to see what happens when even underfunded (by US standards) defense depts focus on warfighting instead of social experiments and climate change. Every technological advantage we've had over the past century is being wiped out in pursuit of "sensor fusion" and "information superiority". Has anyone asked what happens if that card fails? What happens if we're deaf and blind because of enemy activity?

Do you understand that a little pet project doesn't represent the military as a whole.
Ask yourself if the Russian military is so advanced that they've developed UGV's then why are most of their aircraft dropping unguided munitions and why the average soldiers pay is $80 a month.
>Every technological advantage we've had over the past century is being wiped out in pursuit of "sensor fusion" and "information superiority"
What do you think is being wiped out?

Its 'stunning' to see them develop things that have existed for years and will be jammed into being large paperweights during actual WARfighting, not COIN? Thats 'stunning' to you?
Look up SWORDS or MAARS. Hell, even Black Knight UGV.
The US army seems to have real issues procuring new shit lately
But I guess all their procurement funding has gone to mraps & strykers
Because the retards show up to wars armed with nothing but trucks and humvees, then are astonished when their supply convoys get ambushed...
Ruger mini 14. Would like some oppinions on the mini 14 and pictures. I am considering buying one.
I have a 10/22, I love the gun but I hated the stock on it, anyone got any good aftermarket stocks for the mini 14?
>inb4 get an ak or ar, I live in europe.
>>28366229
I already have a shopping list for what I will buy once I get my gun permits and Ruger mini 14 is one of them. Along side an AK and an AR..
And I'm also an europoor.
>>28366229
Get the newer 580 series of Mini's, the old ones were susceptible to overheating and accuracy problems.
As for aftermarket stocks, this is the only stock the Mini-14 needs
>>28366251
Good thing it just looks like a piece of shit and not a scary ass halt weapon.

That's the thread right here. We can all go home now.
Recently bought another AR. Spouse not so happy about it, cause we've been saving for a house. She see's the rifle as a thousand dollars being flushed away. Cried. Then brought up the $$$$ I spend for ammunition. Then the WHY!'s, and trying to make me feel bad, and etc etc etc
>>28364328
>ANOTHER ar
>thinking gun>house
So you're spending money on a hobby when it sounds like you're saving for a much needed house? It's not like you're even buying a gun for defense, just "another" AR to toy with. You are the kind of spouse/parent that makes me sick. Fuck, my step father was the same way but with drugs. Get a grip on what's important you shitter.
>>28364338
:(
I DO drive an old hoopty, solely because it allows a lot more funds for /k/ things.
Good thing she don't ask what the scopes and optics cost.
