A few weeks ago I got a m1 grand and I haven't taken it out to shoot and I planned to do that today. The local range i plan on going to doesn't allow rifles that shoot bullets larger than .300 winchester. Is a 30 - 06 larger than a .300?

.300 Win Mag is more powerful than .30-06, so it should be alright. I'd call ahead and confirm that your Garand is okay first, however.

semi-tangential thread here

I am designing a roleplaying game and I am curious what kind of autofire system would make the most sense.

It doesn't have to be (and obviously won't be) perfectly realistic, but I am just looking for it to make some kind of sense.

My options are: something like GURPS, where you get a bonus to hit when shooting automatic. The higher the ROF, the more the bonus to hit. Also, the better your hit, the more bullets hit.

This bugs me because I felt like the use of autofire (if used at all) was against targets in the open and close range, OR as suppressive fire. But this bonus applies in all cases. GURPS has pretty steep range penalties, but no matter what, shooting on automatic makes you more likely to hit something.

Is that true? What about against someone in cover?

Because, ammo count nonwithstanding, the GURPS system means that shooting on full auto is ALWAYS better.

The other option is, multiple attacks, each at a penalty to hit. Higher rate of fire means more attacks, higher recoil means more penalty to hit. Realistically, the first attack would be at no penalty since there is no recoil yet, but I am unlikely to bother with that.

Is that realistic? It seems the most representative to me: you are shooting more bullets (more attacks) but they are less likely to hit (penalty to each attack).

The more game-design-relevant part of this is that the game uses two dice for each attack so rolling lots of attacks is going to be slower unless I go for the Traveller method, but that's more a /tg/ question.

And I know this is more of a /tg/ thread, but I wanted to ask on here to get /k/'s perspective.

TLDR: Should autofire in a game be represented by a single roll more likely to hit, or should it be multiple attacks, each at a penalty to hit?

I'll dump some Girls with Guns to make up for semi-offtopic thread, feel free to contribute

How much ammo is enough?
Just started stocking up and so far I have roughly
1800 rounds of 7.62x39mm FMJ and hollow point
1000 rounds of 7.62x54mmR FMJ and a couple of game rounds
Couple hundred of 20 gauge, 30-30, .22 LR and .380.
When should I stop? 5000 for each? Or never?

You can never have enough. Ammo is like currency and does well as an investment.
>>
Enough to sustain yourself for a year without restocking. If you shoot 100 rounds a week, then 5,200 rounds. That would give you enough to ride out any panic buying without it affecting your shooting habits. More is always better but that's a good starting point
>>
>>28306247
If you owe your ammo dealer more than your annual income from buying so much, you may have too much.

Making the same thread over and over is a sign of a lack of creativity.

Autists function on a mental loop. Repeating the same actions over and over in a simplistic manner.

A non-autist is able to pursue different subjects and interests from day to day, making the non-autist superior.

I'm in the market for a bolt action for general use and I'm torn between .308 and 30-06. Each of them costs the same price in my area so I just would like to know what the better round would be in a bolt action.

Which one is better for these 3 categories
>accuracy (target shooting)
>Man-stopper (SHTF)
>Beast Stopper (Hunting)

Also what is the largest and smallest animal you could practically hunt with each cartridge?

30-06 is more versatile in terms of grain.

308 was made based off 30-06 to be able to carry more rounds per case, per truck etc.
>>
Depends on the distance. .308 is functionally the same within a certain range, but 30-06 had a better trajectory at a greater distance
>>
Ballistically speaking, they're nearly identical for the 3 terms you have listed.

If you're looking for help on which cartridge to decide on, get the 308win simply because it's the more modern cartridge and i seem to see more rifle chambered for it, and it's more widely available in common places like walmart.

One advantage to 308 is its shorter meaning smaller magazines, shorter action, and if I'm not mistaken some rifle can shoot the NATO equivalent of 7.62

I mean look at it. It's the most perfect jet trainer to ever be built. Not only that, it's a wonderful platform for a cheap, light attack aircraft.
Not only that, it's probably the most kawaii jet trainer to ever be built.

Czech land really hit a home run with it. Why doesn't the US buy a bunch for COIN? They work exceptionally well for other countries.

Hasn't been manufactured in 15 years. A trainer doesn't make for that good of a COIN aircraft either.

I just…I don't even…

.45 is a bigger slug. Like, it's a heftier round; it's going to hit harder and kill a person sooner.
How is this even an argument?

Because force is a function of mass and velocity, and .45 is loaded to be slow as fuck, comparatively. However, the same kind of bullet at high velocities wrecks shit, as with magnum revolvers and .45-70. Now fuck off.

1) Germany had a well trained and well equipped standing military, at least for the first 4 years of WW2

2) The USSR had poorly equipped, poorly trained, too old and too young conscripts.

3) The USSRs military philosophy was give every man five bullets and every other man a gun, and when someone with a gun dies one of the others picks it up and keeps shooting.

4) A combination of 1 and 2, coupled with crippling purges of the high USSR military (trading competence for loyalty) led to a complete disregard for human life yielding point 3.

5) All together, the only possible outcome was casualties on a horrific scale.
