What was the backup plan in case a B29 with a nuclear bomb was lost via interception or mechanical issues before delivering the bomb (especially if over water or some other place where the bomb might be intact enough to examine)? Attempt to recover it or blow it to all hell with depth charges or ignore it and hope the Japanese/Russians think it was just a badly planned recon mission? Or did they have other bombs on standby to complete the mission and hopefully distract the Japanese enough to not bother with plane wreckage since they have a vaporized town or two on their hands?

If it was over water, it would be irrelevant since nobody would know where it is.
If it was over land, it's still irrelevant as it would be found and recaptured in the inevitable invasion. That's assuming the nips didn't poke it enough to set it off.
>>28357435
well they had absolute air superiority at that point pretty much, very little thread from fighters. the gun type bomb they were confident would go off without testing, but the implosion bomb was tested first.
not sure what sort of plans were in effect if it was lost over the mainland. probably nothing they really could do except saturation bomb the best guess as to where it fell immediately. i know they but the primers for the bomb together in flight to the target because they were afraid if the b-29...

sick question.
I just ordered ~$350 worth of steel targets, I want to see how /k/unts are setting up their home ranges and steel. I'm not buying the over priced mounting trash the target dealers sell, I want to make what ever mounts/stands I need. So basically DIY home range inspiration thread.
>>28357334
Free farm scrap. Can't beat free for a 25 target setup at 400 yards that takes less than 30mins to set up.
It's basically drop rods with discs hung on them from the planter, or the thicker discs from heavier digging equipment I have in the center for an easier rough sight-in.
Next year's smaller planter discs are going to be a bit thicker than 1/8in, so I probably won't even be able to penetrate them with anything but 556 & large rifles even at 100 yards. 762 barely makes it through...

side view of the smaller ones
and the larger one, heavy, but still not too hard to carry a couple at a time
I use two discs to close the gap in the center, then one more on the back just as a weight to keep them standing upright.
556 is the only thing I shoot that cuts through these
What are these called in gernal, what are they used for, and why are they shaped like that.
inverted hollow points. they're shaped like that to make smaller wounds.

I hate these people...
I got a Sako and it was so shitty, dinged up and with 3 cracks. No bluing and lots of rust.
The rifle is mediocre and I would have been ok with if they had advertised it as FAIR-OK condition. These things are NOT Good-Very Good condition.
Also what the fuck how many of these do they have. I tried getting a Sako from the second batch and I was cartjacked like ten minutes after they went on sale and nearly had a heart attack. I would have been at ease if they announced...

It's a bummer they stamp the receivers nowadays with the import mark. I remember when the "import stamp" was a barely legible, sometimes not even that, little mark toward the end of the barrel. Pre-'68 didn't even need that.

Costs a fortune.
Why do people hold pistols like this, specifically 1911's? Shouldn't they keep their thumbs out of the way of the slide?
it helps people get a higher grip, reduce effective bore axis, and lower muzzle flip. They're not putting pressure or touching the slide; just putting their thumbs somewhere.
They're not holding the slide. Thumbs are forward not making contact.

OP reminds me of my mother, who is no gunz on her everyday life but secretly knows a lot of shit about anarchy and revolutions and crime stuff.
Me: "Well... because... you know... even a 9 mm has stopping power..."
Her: "Of course, my boy. It's just about being able to score enough hits in the right spots."
I love you mom.
P.S.: it didn't happen in America.

The supreme court ruled a while back if I remember correctly that limiting ammo purchased infringes the 2nd amendment so even if it does pass (which it won't) it will be overruled shortly. Also find something else besides guns.com for a source.

no it wasnt you retard. It was a mash up division. Just because they had delivered infrared scopes to the first company of each platoon doesnt make them super dupper.

Compared to an infantry fireteam, how effective is a sniper team in a firefight?
>>28355431
Depends. In a full blown firefighter sniper teams can be used to huge effect as observers, not necessarily shooting people.
>>28355431
>>28355431
>If the sniper has time to position and is briefed on a location with his unit,
very effective. The entire team can virtually cover an entire location, but Its not like the sniper is +10'ing every hostile target. Probably more of a scout than anything.

>sniper team
>in firefight
Modern snipers are operating at such an extended range they should never be IN a firefight.
If you meant a Designated Marskman group, I'd wager they'd be more effective depending on what kind of suppressive/covering fire they had with them. Hard to line up at an accurate shot with a truck full of Hajji bearing down on you.

Europe needs your sup.

They were the reason why a hundred people died by eight people. There were no law abiding gun owners there, but people who smuggled guns into the country.

they want to ban our semi-auto guns
Already signed it ages ago. I was looking at the percentage of signatures by rates of gun owners in each country, as usual us Brits are apathetic cunts. We had one of the lowest turnouts, but then I suspect that some of it has to do with being more detached (or maybe thinking we are) from the EU and Europe that continental countries.
I think it's a pretty dirty trick that they pulled, using those attacks to try and launch this shit. But it's the oldest trick in the anti-gunner's book and it's worked for them before.
