Your take on this, k?

So it's a 10x more expensive version of pic related that mounts to LOLRAIL permanently.
I wouldn't buy it, but it doesn't look AWFUL.
Hopefully it defaults to fail-deadly and opens when it loses battery power. I'd also prefer RFID on a cellphone, keychain, or ring instead of a stupid fucking finger reader that's unreliable enough at the best of times.

if the battery dies, it stays locked until you open it up and put in a new battery.
They could at least build a light and a laser into it.

Post your rifles, ammo stocks, and call people fags for hoarding all the good stuff.

So how much ammo do you homos have?
I purchased 1,000 rounds yesterday $50 at dicks.
I'm just realizing how many photos of this gun I actually have.
The m16 you see towards the bottom is the Umarex .22 Clone.
When it works, it works pretty damn good.
Bumping with an image I stole from someone.
Looks good
Have skirmishes been fault during hurricanes or tornado heavy weather?
Can shitty weather be used for a tactical advantage? Are there any examples in history that don't involved snow/dust storms?

Battle of Fornovo fought in 1495 had some pretty bad rains which soaked the French and Italian cannons gunpowder making them all but useless. Also the Italians, who arrived several days before the French to the battlefield, thought up a brilliant plan of starting on one side of the river, fording in four places, and attacking the French on the other side. It didn't work that well.

Using the seasonal winds to burn your enemy out was pretty common in Asian warfare. I doubt setting forests on fire level of collateral damage is acceptable in the modern warfare.
Mongols one time wait until a monsoon in India to wage a siege. The rain comes and the river swell. They re-routed a river to flood a citadel.
Looking at getting my first ever gun tomorrow. Will most likely be going with a revolver, specifically the Ruger GP 100 6". Curious what /k/ thinks of my choice.

Rugers are tanks.

I have the 4" and love it. Makes for a great truck gun and sidearm for hiking innawoods. Hope you enjoy it.

>What are the factory sights on a SLR104UR set for?
I know a "Military" AKS74u has the sights calibrated for a 300m Zero and 4-500m Zero. However I was out shooting mine today for the first time since I SBRd it and I had to shoot around 18-28 inches high to hit my target at 100m. This is the exact opposite of what I was expecting, which is I would have to aim low. I wasnt sure if it was calibrated for the standard 16inch barrel on the SLR104ur or if it is calibrated for the correct for 8 inches.
>>28023264
How did it shoot before?
I couldn't tell you velocity difference for 5.45 off the top of my head, and can't be assed to google it ATM, but there's no way it's going to be dropping 30" (I am assuming you mean you're holding over 28-30" right?)
Did someone perhaps somehow fuck up the FSB of something? Not that that should happen considering the work to SBR requires cutting the barrel, not moving the gas block/fsb
Can you get a taller post?
>>28023318
I literally only shot it maybe 15 times before the SBR because it was so ungodly overgassed. And yes, I was holding over by at least 18 inches, which if anything I would think I would have had to shoot low 18 inches.
>>28023264
Mine is pretty close to right on at 100
If Germany had developed the stg44 before they started the war , could they have won?
Just fucking stop.
>>28023184
no, slight tactical advantage means jack shit in a war
also everyone else would have switched to assault rifles too within a year or two
>>28023184
Germany had become too vilified by even the beginning of the war to win due to breaking all treaties and offers of peace by continued annexations. They could've 'won' or atleast persisted if they fought against solely communism as America would likely support them but by no means European domination even with better conventional tech. The only viable tech that would've made a major difference in outcome would be nuclear weapons.
Also not a historian, correct me If I'm mistaken
Hello /k/, random eurofag here,
I want to buy a handgun for recreational purposes (I'd like to ride down to a shooting range and fire some rounds just for keks).
What would be a good handgun to start with?
I'm currently drawn towards the iconic 1911-style and the Walther PP style pistols.
Or should I go for a revolver because they're supposed to be easier and more "reliable"?
Also any advice?
PS. I never shot a gun before. I'm currently enrolled in the necessary procedures.
see if any ranges rent guns out, also i would go with someone who has experience with guns as well or take a class or something
Get whatever is appealing for you
If it's just for fun, do it for fun
Try to test a few guns is you can first
What country ?
>>28023075
I have an ex-military bud.
He'd teach me a few things but I'll take an initiation workshop first.
I'm pretty sure "renting" weapons is not allowed over here.

Is there much difference in caliber size? Obviously I would take something popular but does it pay off the buy (for example) a .22 design for cheaper cartridges?
I went to test fit my new rounds I reloaded and after cycling 2 rounds through the gun I noticed one of the rounds had a very, very light primer strike. Is this just a primer seating issue, or a 1911 specific issue?
Did it fire though?
>>28022975
I think he means the primers got dinged just from being chambered.
factory ammo, handload, or factory reload?
and have you dicked with the gun at all?
Does anyone here carry a bushcraft/wild camping bag when they go shooting innawoods? I've been putting together a kit that I plan on using tac ties to strap it to a chest rig. Being pretty new to the gun world I don't really know where to start with rigs.
Wanna rate my gear?
Ive taken it on a couple overnights, but I want input to what I could adjust to make my pack a bit better. A few things I am going to add from the experience I had on the over nights.

There's a patch of molle webbing where I can slap this thing on a chest rig, in case anyone was wondering how I would do that.

II want to get some slav gear for both airshit and innawoods. Should I get a 6b45 like pic or a korund? Also a 6b47 helmet or maybe something else?
You may want to add some packages of electrolyte replacement like CeraSport to your list.
Also add a 2'x2' or 4'x'4' section of cheesecloth for pre-screening water before it goes in your filter hose. You can fold it over and put it over the inlet for your filter and it keeps the larger flotsam and jetsam from fouling it.
Extra good quality socks and footpowder are always important even if you "think" you are only going out for a day or two.
Always bring a carabiner rated for more than 600 lbs if you bring rope. You can...

I.O. Inc AK owner here, I fucked up, I know. Help me identify whether or not I got a total piece of shit, I'm a new AK owner so I don't know what to look for here. It has performed well and has given me no jams after 300 rounds.
>>28022630
Show us the gas-port on your barrel if you can. I.O. Inc. is notorious for drilling them too large, which leads to over-gassing.
>>28022630
check the rivets and their consistency. check to see if the barrell is bent
The whole thing is a fuck up. Made with cast Korean parts mixed with other European parts, rivets are probably fucked up as well as headspace, they use the barrel as a bucking bar, improper heat treating, the list goes on.
Glock will grow larger.
The New Zealand military will replace their SIG 226s with Glocks.

Arg what a waste they will confiscate them and I hope they don't turn into cannon fodder for a liberal gun control agenda for La.
