I just finished firing my new ad 15 in my hallway when this thing flew out of the barrel. What the hell is it and how can it handle those temps??
Is this the bug out bag you guys talk about?

kill it with fire

I pushed it into my neighbours door gap.
What is the best 1911 for around $1000 bucks?
>>30503002
List of preference:
1. Springfield
2. ParaUSA
3. Kimber
4. Smith & Wesson
You can get a brand new Springfield Range Officer for $1000 from Cabelas, and elsehwere used for even cheaper.
Used TRP's can be around $1100, I'd get one of those if I wasn't a goddamn poor bastard
>>30503002
If I had $1000 for a 1911 I'd buy a Ruger SR1911 and spend the rest on ammo and magazines.
>>30503002
A used Dan Wesson maybe, but you'd have to be lucky.
CZ makes a mostly stock 1911A1 GI in the $800 range
>>30503091
>Kimber
No, they've been garbage for the past 16 years.
I need more of this shit. Dump whatcha got.
Sorry if you guys have seen this before. I thought tumblr was supposed to respect "triggers."
I will not quit my fun because you volunteered to play G.I. Joe and it was scarier than you thought it would be.

What about Vietnam vets? Not all of those guys volunteered, douchebag.
Hey /k/ anybody know where to get a barrel and receiver for this and is it even worth getting a parts kit for $700?
No, and no. Check with a local gunsmith and see if they can point you to a friend of a friend of a cousin of a guy who works with metal.
Or get an ar15/10/fal/fnc/ptr/g3/g56/m1a/m14/30/ak like the rest of us.
I mean look at you, with you're hipster ass gun and it's complete lack of aftermarket parts availability.
Feel bad for your choice of raifu.
>>30502674
unless you have like $2000 to drop, stay the fuck away from obscure shit like that
even if you do have the money, get something like an fs2000 or a scar
buy a fucking fal if you want a euro battle rifle
>>30502674
STGW's are very scarce stateside because the fucking swiss are hoarding them for themselves, so either find a full one or get a kit that parts are available for
Picking up my first home defense shotgun, a Mossberg 590A1, 9 Shot with XS Ghost Ring Sights. What items should I get for it that would make it suitable for home defense, but not tacti-cool. Stuff like shell slings, side-saddles, and a weaponlight.
My question is, /k/ommandos, what brands should I buy from, as I am I first time owner?
>pic very-much related
>>30502340
>what items should I get for it that would make it suitable for home defense, but not tacti-cool.
Get a bayonet and a bunch of buckshot. Maybe a light if you're paranoid.
>>30502340
Surefire, while sometimes pricey, makes very good, durable shit.
Mesa tactical makes pretty decent stuff from what I've heard.
Lots of guys also don't seem to mind glueing a patch of Velcro to the side of the receiver and using Velcro backed shell carriers. The advantage is its lighter, if the shell holders start to get loose you just buy more.
Maybe not as durable as aluminum but a better SUPER long term solution as they're far easier to replace. Also nice for three gun and the...

dont buy a shell sling they are piles of shit that make everything unbalanced
Are you secretly a weapons patriot?
Do you believe that the things your country has, weapons, troops, etc, are better than everywhere else? Do you find talking about your own nation's things more fun?
I know I am, so I'm curious about others.
No shit my country has the best weapons, we have a military budget the size of the next 30 biggest militaries.
>>30501960
yes.
Other people bitch about the L85A2 and make jokes about it being heavy, awkward and about its jamtastic history... but I fucking love it all the same.
Never had to carry one into action so I suppose I can't talk, but still.
>>30501960
>Do you believe that the things your country has, weapons, troops, etc, are better than everywhere else?
I'm American so this is an objective fact.
If you give the US military a military objective such as Destroy the Iraqi Army or Conduct Operation Praying Mantis they will win overwhelmingly.
If you give them a political objective like Make Iraq and Afghanistan Democracies they are going to struggle and likely fail because those aren't activities a military...

Medieval thread- Discussion edition.
Something I've always pondered was what sort of weapons fit what body type. A man with longer arms would have more reach, he could either use a shorter weapon like a gladius and have the same reach as a man with a longsword but with more control, or he could use a spear and give himself an even greater reach advantage. Basically, what I'm trying to figure out is this: What sort of weapon is ideal for a huge man (aka game of thrones mountain), a short stocky boxer type guy, an average sized fellow, ETC. Example, I'm short...

spear goes in all fields
>>30501957
Tell that to the Romans. Though it has some merit, I think a spear works at least pretty well for anyone.
>>30501906
First off, cool pic, if not for the ugly asymetrical wings.
To answer your question, I didn't have that much of an expirience, some 7 months and going, but I work as a blacksmith and I study historical arms, armour and crafts, among other things, so... there's a bit.
The notion that long-armed man needing shorter weapon is bullshit. Imagine a bind. Now you have less reach with a weapon and more vulnerable arms. Hey ho. That being said, it would be useful with normal-sized things. Reach is...

Well I'm looking to invest in a home defense shotgun. I'm looking for advice, recommendations, accessories for said shotgun. I own an old 20 gauge shotgun my grandfather passed on to me. But I'm looking to upgrade to a 12 gauge. I hear pistol grip shotguns are kinda more fir show than a standard stock shotgun. Anyway what do you guys recommend?
>>30501676
DP 12, best home defense shotgun, pump action double barrel.
>>30501821
Okay, how much does it go for?
KSGs are significantly cheaper.
So aside from being slightly bigger and costing a fuck-ton more, what advantages does the, F-2 have over the F-16?
>>30501396
create Japanese jobs and making the JSDF kill against the chinks
>>30501396
It's main point is being able to carry Anti shipping ASMs, and I guess for a single engine fighter being bigger with more internal fuel without sacrificing pylons to fuel pods is good when operating over open water, but that's what in flight refueling is for anyways so I don't know. Come to think of it I don't know if Japan has tankers, but I assume they are NATO standard.

Surprised the little shitter wasn't a barely functioning meat sack. Having kids that late is retarded in itself, should have known he was an idiot.

>Guy basically used a loaded pistol to dig hot brass out of his shirt
Jesus Christ. Too bad it was his kid and not him instead.
Can /k/ tell me more about what my uncle did? He was murdered by is daughter, never met him and family doesn't talk about it much.
All I know is he was a Captain in an armored division
I have this pictures and a few others..
>>30501294
Why was he murdered?
/k/ what kind of car do you drive? My for asking is, should I get a Jeep or some kind of off-road vehicle in case some major stuff good down?
>>30501290
Land Rover Defender is your only option. Great cars, fixed pretty easily.
>>30501964
probably expensive to fix.
I have a wrangler, great car. I can get ANYWHERE literally. Except the thing is small as fuck. Think about a tacoma, if not jeeps are badass. I personally think you should go with an old school grand cherokee and lift the hell out of it
2003 Toyota Tacoma, AKA what North America gets instead of the Hilux.
Why the handle ?
up the pooper
>>30501267
Old doctrine was that rifles were unslung in combat. If you had to carry something in one hand, say an ammo box or a litter, you carried the rifle by the handle in the other hand.
It's heavy
A question as old as time
>>30501254
The Ruger is built like a goddamn tank, incredibly strong and reliable
The S&W is subjectively "nicer" in terms of build and appearance, and IMO has a nicer trigger
Both are fantastic, I chose the S&W but you can't go wrong either way
Ruger is chunky clunky, but cheaper
Smith is smoooove but I don't like the ones with wood grips.
>>30501254
I chose the 686 over the GP100
