Why have an underbarrel shotgun on a pistol? Is this thing even structurally sound? Would it break your frame?
Because Taurus probably has a patent on putting a shotgun IN the pistol.
Because why the fuck not.
And yes, it would probably work reasonably well as long as you replaced the hinge pin with a more beefy one (this one looks like a joke) and reinforced the bottom of the trigger guard. This looks like it would shake itself apart after a while.

I prefer an underbarrel .30-06
I just got a Ruger LCR .357 magnum for carry weapon.
>Hornady 140gr .357 personal defense hollow point loads.
Pretty power load in this light revolver. Has anyone shot .38+P vs .357 Magnum with an ultra light revolver?
General Revolver or Carry Weapon Thread!
My friend has the same revolver. It's the first gun I shot, he had me use 38 +p at first. When I switched to 357 it damn near blew the gun out of my hands. I have gorilla hands though, so I have a hard time holding that small of a grip.
>>28295035
I literally laughed out loud at your post. Thats the same thing that happened to me, the fucking .357 rounds blew the gun back into my hand between my thumb and my index finger, that webbing, felt like being punched hard there. Was way more than I expected, its manageable, but a lot of force. How much different is the recoil from the .38+P to .357 ?

I use gold dots in a 4.2 inch SP101. I'm not a poorfag, but I'm not a richfag either, so I thought that would be a nice hybrid between a full size GP100 and a snub nosed LCR, fun for carry and the range. And I was right.
Next purchase is likely going to be a Dan Wesson 715, but I think I'll want to keep it pristine too badly to carry it, even with the snub nosed barrel.

i saw this in the humor thread, showed it to my dad (retired navy) he says he was there. any info on this pic? dates/ location?
>>28294918
Damnit, at work on my phone and don't have the greentext. It was my story, crazy shit. Late '05. Don't have time to retype it, but let me know if you have questions, and I'll try to get to you.
What's this red stuff /k/? Rust? How do I get rid of it?
>>28294906
Rust...?
Copper-based grease
Way to take care of your shit, faggot.
Okay, /k/, your general is instructing you to come up with a plan for an amphibious invasion of the continental USA and Canada through the East Coast. How do you do it?
>>28294882
You don't.
Alternatively, just nuke your own forces. It'll be faster to the same result.
>>28294892
Let's assume magic timey whimey technobabble takes nukes off the table; it's just a conventional slugfest
>>28294916
Okay then.
You're better off just blowing up the entirety of your force. It'll end up the same way but be much faster.
is there something wrong with this picture, /k/?
it can technically work, but its just retarded in a practical sense.
Other than the certain nerve damage of firing that much 9x18 out of what amounts to a jenga brick with a magazine in, no.
>>28294812
No, its a real thing you tard.
So I read in Guns and Ammo that U.S. Armament is going to be producing the Colt Model 1903 again. First in .32 and then in .380s. My inner Film Noir detective is excited.
>>28294786
Looks like a Mak got knocked up by a 1911
>>28294786
Don't be, they said they will be 3-4x the cost of an original and will have a finish that looks like shit. The MSRP and photos were disappointing to say the least.
>>28294786
Which issue of G&A did you read it?
Rumor has it that as the Ford-class carriers begin taking precedence, the Nimitz-class carriers will be sold to other nations. A few weeks ago the USS Eisenhower hosted the Secretary of Defence and two high-ranking Indian gov't officials for a tour of the ship.
What the hell would Indian need an aircraft carrier for?
>Indian
I meant India, sorry
Why do you NEED a navy?
Why do you NEED an armed forces?
Seriously fuck off
>>28294779
Nah, Probably for latest Bollywood movie set.
Okay faggots let's discuss what future warfare like 50 - 100 years in the future will look like. How will the infantry be equipped? Will tanks be obsolete with the proliferation of ATGMs? Will power armor render intermediate calibers obsolete?
>>28294765
This is 100 years from now.
We will bump back up to battle rifles in an effort to match increased armor capabilities. Soldiers will have slightly higher tech toys at the it disposal but nothing that changes current tactics.
Armor will stay about the same with the only increases in technology being minor changes to currently existing vehicles. The most major improvements will be done to airpower making it more efficient and the F35 project will be nearing completion.
Screencap this for reference in 2115.
In 50 years the world will have half killed itself off. There will be maybe 1 million people at most on the entire planet. There won't be any true wars. Just tribes and villages fighting over little shit. Or gangs trying to rape and pillage. Fought all with small arms assuming there's bullets and powder and some type of infrastructure.
Most will die on the fury road.

Anyone actually use a 37mm launcher? Other than smoking out the neighborhood, any practical applications?
>>28294707
Custom load rock salt shells for pesky neighbor kids.
Flares. Or at least so Ive heard, the few people I know who own them have never fired a shot from them and just wanted them because they look cool.
>>28294707
Why do these things ride so low compared to 40mm? Is that block on top for anything other than a rail-to-rail attachment?
Hello /k/omrads,
My European lgs is selling a "real M4" - A Colt Defense M4 Magpull edition with a 14" barrel. Being a europoor I don't know much about AR15 So I ask for your Wisdom. I know the militaria issue Colt Defense are 14" but is tehre such thing as a Magpull M4 ? And from which distribution circuit did he got this from ?
Does it make any sense ?
Thanks for the help
http://kiesler.com/Portals/0/pdf/COLTLAW_2011.pdf
>>28294675
It's an ar15 with magpul furniture, what's confusing about that?
>>28294675
>with a 14" barrel
You mean 16". US-made complete rifles in the EU are literally never under 16". Too much hassle exporting NFA shit especially considering EU personnel can have EU made SBRs for less.
>I know the militaria issue Colt Defense are 14"
They're 14.5"
>but is tehre such thing as a Magpull M4
No, it's an AR-15, Colt is milking the name.

Does the US still use these?
i drove one in 03
What do you want to know
SOCOM bought a bunch of these 2 or 3 years ago. I assume as a sort of DPV/LSV replacement since the program was called ALSV
I doubt it. IIRC, they were super expensive for a dune buggy painted black, had engines that required constant maintenance and weren't all that fast when fully loaded with gear. Besides, have you ever seen a picture of them in use that wasn't taken 15+ years ago?
Why is Brazil's military so nonexistant?
They're the 7th largest economy but their main fighter is F-5Es from the fucking 70s
>>28294569
When your country is a shit hole, its hard to have the nationalism to defend it.
Brazil literally is only good for liveleak videos, and ladyboys if youre into that sort of thing.
They're buying Gripen (E's I think) and they'll have them before 2020. Just 36 of them for a start but I imagine if they like them they'll buy more
>>28294569
Because basically every president since 1994 hates the Armed Forces for their action during the military dictatorship, and pure and simple revenge.
http://www.commondreams.org/news/2015/12/22/seymour-hershs-latest-bombshell-us-military-undermined-obama-syria-tacit-help-assad
Seymour Hersh is claiming that the Joint Chiefs frustrated with the Executive arming unvetted Syrian rebel groups linked to Nusrah and ISIS and trying to confront Russia were providing intelligence on the Jihadists to Germany, Israel, and Russia with the clear understanding it would be supplied to Assad
Thats pretty amazing
Could it be true?
I can imagine them concerned with another power vacuum filled with maniacs just like Iraq and Libya,...

By the late summer of 2013, the DIA’s assessment had been circulated widely, but although many in the American intelligence community were aware that the Syrian opposition was dominated by extremists the CIA-sponsored weapons kept coming, presenting a continuing problem for Assad’s army. Gaddafi’s stockpile had created an international arms bazaar, though prices were high. ‘There was no way to stop the arms shipments that had been authorised by the president,’ the JCS adviser said. ‘The solution involved an appeal to the pocketbook. The CIA was approached by a representative...

In January 2014, despairing at the lack of progress, John Brennan, the director of the CIA, summoned American and Sunni Arab intelligence chiefs from throughout the Middle East to a secret meeting in Washington, with the aim of persuading Saudi Arabia to stop supporting extremist fighters in Syria. ‘The Saudis told us they were happy to listen,’ the JCS adviser said, ‘so everyone sat around in Washington to hear Brennan tell them that they had to get on board with the so-called moderates. His message was that if everyone in the region stopped supporting al-Nusra and Isis...

Haha jokes on you akfags you're shitty rifle has been beaten. You may think that the ak is cheaper and more reliable then the glorious AR-15 but there's nothing that the AR-15 can't be. Say goodbye to double feeds and failures to eject because nothing is more reliable then a single shot rifle. It also comes in at an impressive $359 (and this is for factory parts, I'm sure if you got them second hand then it could be even lower at say $200 and below)
