Is hardtack the most god-tier of war foods or what? Take practically an hour to make with a regular oven, only consists of flour, water, and salt, and can be kept at room temperature for decades. Tell me this wondrous biscuit isn't the best shtf food of all time.
>>23806332
It's also a good way to store flour; you don't end up with those little beetle assholes sneaking into it if you do it right. Then you can just crush it down and use it like normal as needed.
I keep a bin of it in my stockpile.
Sure, if you like having crooked teeth.
Honey.
Full of energy, doesn't go bad ever unless stored badly.
Went shooting today with some friends and shot a buddy's KSG. I'll begin by saying i had decent hopes for this weapon. Holding it, i felt as though it was at least decently built. First starting off, i had issues racking the slide, but i just thought just because i was doing something wrong.
Getting into shooting, skeet shooting (yes with the KSG). The weapon started to show it's darker side. Very few times i would fire off a whole tube without having some sort of malfunction. I had multiple FTF, FTE, double feeding. Very often it happened one after the other. Sometimes, i'd have to flip the weapon over just to cycle the action. Even then i would still get a FTF.
When it worked, it would work beautifully. Got at least 4 clays in a row at one point. Is it just me with some sort of user error, or is this weapon more a gimmick prone to failure (cause lolkeltech)
tl;dr Why does the KSG suck

You werent pumping it hard enough, its not your granpappys wingmaster slam that bitch as hard as you can

This. They're very prone to short-stroking.
If I remember correctly, there was actually a particular reason as to why this frequently occurred that was rectified in later iterations, but I'm not sure.
I work part time at a gun counter, I get a good discount and it pays for my hobby. I've been sharing these silly stories for the past few weeks here on /k/. Yet again I invite others to post their funny gun shop experiences. This thread is for humor, some accounts may be exaggerated. Please don't take it too seriously.
FAQ
Q: Why won't you give people .22lr, asshole?
A: We sell tons of .22Lr, and are the best store in the area for .22lr availability and price. We also run out of .22lr sometimes, and that's where the funny stories come in. We ration out the ammunition with a certain limit on sales per day and per customer. This combats hoarding of .22lr and spreads the love around. If we didn't do this, preppers would show up Monday morning when we open and buy us out, then our shelves would be empty all week. Please try to understand..

Do any of you fancy yourself sheepdogs?
While I have some serious problems with the metaphor, I do find it uniquely useful in explaining the mentality of law enforcement and the worst of military veterans.
There are people who actually believe that everyone except them are sheep, but that they are the noble protectors standing watch over the flock. In fact, they are like sheepdogs, but not in the way they espouse. Rather, they are property of some shepherd, and they exist only to do his bidding, whatever it may be. What the shepherd bids is the exploitation of the sheep by force.
As a sheep, you are property as well. You must give wool to the shepherd. You must give milk to the shepherd. You must make children and give them to shepherd for lamb chops. The sheepdog is instrumental in exacting this fealty from you. The shepherd can't control you himself, so he sics his dogs on you. They bite you and they bark at you and they herd you where the shepherd wants you to go. There is nothing you can do about it.
So far I've mentioned the sheep and the sheepdogs, and brought up the missing character from the metaphor, the shepherd. But what of the wolves? The problem with the wolves in the metaphor is that they imply that there are "good guys" and "bad guys" and that these roles are inherent and immutable. Grossman goes so far as to say the wolves are "aggressive sociopaths" who lack all empathy for other human beings. He attributes all crime to such people, being clear that he thinks only such inherently evil monsters would ever go against the law (that is, the will of the shepherd).
But I say wolves aren't monsters. They are just dogs who don't kowtow to the whims of a selfish master. No, their job isn't to herd and harass sheep. Their job is to live their own lives and be free.
Some wolves do wander near the flock and take a sheep. That is true. But most wolves don't. Most wolves live in the woods and keep to themselves. Their crime isn't a lack of empathy. Their only crime is not serving the shepherd.
And frankly, that's no crime at all.
So what are you /k/? Are you sheepdogs, or are you wolves?
That's a pretty good deconstruction OP.
Whoever wrote that essay is a fucktard.
I know a fair bit about reloading. Lets get some novice people into loading. Any questions?

magazine laws in shitty states?
>>23731891
Damnit, I thought it'd be a relevant useful questions, lol.
Supposedly it's either due to magazine laws, or a way to ensure that the magazine is never lost. Who knows.
What is up with the mods at TFB? They deleted this comment directly from Sig when called out on their bullshit story:
>Phil / Nicholas - comical story, but patently false. I'm not even going to comment on a direct impingement BCG that supposedly came out of a piston SIG516.

>>23732581
maybe it was because that wasn't actually sig making that comment?
>>23732628
>censorship is cool
So just delete it instead of putting a disclaimer up while awaiting verification?
More like the mods/writers are buttblasted.

I've been green-texting my silly stories on /k/ over the past couple weeks. This is tales from the gun counter #5. I work part time at a gun counter in a large retail store. I get a good discount, and enjoy the supplemental income. I am enthusiastic about sporting goods, and try my best to help everyone who comes into the store. Some of these stories are slightly exaggerated, this thread is for humor. Once again I'll invite everyone to share any funny gun shop related stories they have as I post my shitty greentext.

Do you have any .22?
FAQ:
Q: Why won't you give .22lr to people, asshole?
A: My store sells plenty of .22lr throughout the week. In order to combat hording of .22lr, we place a limit on the amount of .22lr customers may buy, this limit may change based on how much we have in stock. Ordinarily, we sell bricks of 500 for $26, limit 1 per customer, or boxes of 50rds @ ~$4 limit 3 to 5 per customer. Sometimes we have have bricks of 1000 rounds for $55. This product is in high demand, it is not unusual for customers to buy the limit, then send in three or four friends to buy more for them. Our store wants to provide good customer service, and selling 5,000 rounds to the hoarder who walks in one minute after opening on Monday morning, then having empty shelves all week for the rest of the customers is bad for business. It is also not unusual to find out that customers are interested in buying .22lr in bulk from us then marking it up re-selling it. When you see me green-texting stories in which I tell customers we're all out of .22lr, please keep in mind that we probably just sold out of our ration for the day. We restock the shelves once, or twice per day when we have it, in order to try and spread the love around. I don't hold out on customers just to be a dick. Our store is the best in our area for stocking .22lr and our customers know it, they also understand why we set limits on this ammunition. We have many regulars come in or call to check on our stock.

What unorthodox/improvised weapons would you use against riot police, either from the street if you were foolish enough to be there or from the rooftops/apartment windows.
Assume you are not using firearms for whatever reason and no store bought blackpowder ect.
Beyond your average molotov cocktail I'd say 1-1.5L plastic bottles with dry ice and water would cause a great deal of damage and confusion. That and no one would want to touch them once they've been thrown, try to kick it away and suddenly you can't hear and have a sprained ankle.

Especially if you start passing dozens of them out. First time users will probably just hit fellow protesters, but hey, its a riot!
