Whats /k/'s opinion about Joerg Sprave?
>>28274226
A german that don't have access to guns and he is soon to be arrested for making lethal even projectile based weapons since laws are getting worse and worse.
Also I don't own guns.
>>28274260
But he owns guns and wanted to do something different because we have a glut of youtube gun videos.
Pretty based, probably fucks bundles of rubber bands
Old thread about to fall off the board.
How salvageable is this barrel?
>>28273961

Not

It isn't.
I have a friend who once shoot himself in the foot. So I was wondering: have you ever shoot yourself /k/? If yes do share.
in the army I nd'd into a buddies foot. does this count?
>>28273947
Yes. How did it go?
>>28273942
I've bounced bbs back into me before by accident, shooting at pigeons in a barn.
I had one shed with great ricochet walls. I'd shoot bbs at a slight angle so they'd bounce back and forth on the walls till they got stopped. I guess that's part of what makes bbs far more dangerous than pellets, they like to bounce instead of crush.
N00b here:
Would pic related be a good optic for my M&P 15 if most of my shooting is between 50 - 100 yards?
Also, is the front sight post going to be a problem blocking the scope?
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Or any other recommendations on a sub $400 optic?
Use the fucking irons!!! 50 to a 100 yards fuckall
>>28273869
Just browse the internet for an optic in your price range and do research. Literally everyone I see with a $700 M&P has a $600 eotech or something of the sort while o got a $100 sight from SG that doesn't work. The front sight won't get in the way unless the dot is lower than the sight blade. It should be right on the tip of the sight post.
Why would you have a tank on legs rather than a tank on treads?
You wouldn't
>>28273768
becus tank with legs can jump lol it can git a slam dunk
>>28273768
Because it's fucking cool
What's the best paintball gun for under $200? I was thinking of getting the GOG eNMEy but the Spyder Fenix is another option
No thanks I have real guns.
>>28273591
>best paintball gun under 200
invert mini? duh?
Also this is kind of the wrong forum. Go to pbnation.
Get a GoG, spyder is trash.
Ok so /k/ is the best place to get the most unfiltered and honest opinions on guns and gear, but you have to put up with a sizable amount of shitposting.
Reddit gun subreddits are probably the biggest circeljerks you can find on the web, with most of it shit and the minority being useful info.
Weapons specific forums (FALfiles for instance) are pretty good for specifics if you know precisely what you're after.
Are there any other sources I'm missing?
Also, why do so many anons shit on leddit? The non firearms related subreddits are complete...

ARFCOM is decent for DIY guides and technical shit. Stay away from their general discussion unless you want ass cancer.
>>28273483
/r/gats is by far the best subreddit.
>>28273483
Akfiles is pretty good, I like their news/current events section, and have sold some jigs and custom furniture through the marketplace

It seems like you're trying to bait but considering the fact that you are correct I'm not sure how many bites you are going to get.
>>28273475
So I make one stupid purchase after the sandy vag scare because a friend said "hurry and buy ak" and nobody told me otherwise. I regret it myself all the time as well, but there's no fixing it unless I can jew it onto some idiot if we have another scare.

This thread is for bitching and moaning about anything in the gun industry or community. New guns, failed guns, schools that screw people over, that fat fuck Larry Vickers, just whatever.

I hate the majority of the firearm community because they're not autistic robots like me and thus succumb to myth perpetuation without ever checking the facts.
>>28273293
>succumb to myth perpetuation without ever checking the facts.
Why the fuck is this so common with gun owners? You could seriously start a thread on /k/ with something like "Obama is going to restrict guns base on your child support payments" and in no time people would be repeating that shit in other threads.
>>28273310
To be fair I'd wager a portion of it is just memeing fuckheads, baiters, etc that want to fuck with people.
But the fuck it spreads and it's trollucrative to use it as bait says something about the community.
Looks like the Chinese now have a Growler based on the Flanker platform.
It even has similiar wingtip jamming-receiver pods like the AN/ALQ-218 on the EA-18G Growler...
>>28273256
The pods, which look like the AN/ALQ-218 TJSR on the Growler...
>>28273262
One can also see the small antennae ontop the pods.
The engines seem to be WS-10s, which would be another evidence that the maturity of chinese engine tech is coming along.
>>28273265
Compared with the standard J-16, the J-16 EW (or "JD-16" according to rumors), has no gun and a different shorter radome for a EW-capable AESA radar. It's actual electronic attack pods have not been revealed, but they are likely AESA based like the New Generation Jammer as well, since China has shown similiar systems on the Y-8 based EW planes already.
The lack of a gun is also a 'feature' of the Growler, btw.
What does /k/ think of tanks with big ass radar boxes?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH9yXTSMZ8c
Anyone know Russian? What is says about those big ass radar boxes? Also I don't think this tank will survive CQC.
Looks like its copied from that old Japanese tank with the single big box.
>>28273197
From what I understood, they predict where a shell would land.
Russian is getting really rusty and I couldn't figure them out.
Also
>SP artillery gun
>tank
>surviving CQC
>ever
>>28273197
That's a self propelled artillery gun
Pretty much every artillery system has a radar for measuring the gun's muzzle velocity and improving the accuracy of its barrage.
They even fit them on field guns like the L118 and M777 nowadays

What is Balkalite /k/?
Is it some kind of wood?
What makes it so popular for AK magazines and furniture?
>>28272956
Bakelite is an early type of plastic. It is kind of shitty and prone to cracking.
Im unsure of how to say it because of hearing it from a friend.
>>28272966
aahhh thank you my friend, i thought i was some sort of polymer - wood thing
Could the British have won (or even survived) WWII with only Russian assistance?
If America had stayed out of the European War and had focused purely on the Pacific War, could the British have held on on their own?
>>28272872
no shit?
They outproduced the germans in every department.
>>28272872
The Germans couldn't win the air war against Britain, they couldn't hope to defeat the Royal Navy, and any invasion across the Channel given the previous two points would have been an absolute slaughter. So no, they were never going to defeat Britain.
>>28272872
They would have survived, but they'd never be able to open the second front the Russians NEEDED.
Only the Americans had the actual manpower and material to do that
