does /k/ ever feel sad thinking about how close melee combat was destroyed with the introduction of modern firearms?
>>30371603
Fuck no. With the modern workload I don't have time to be fucking around with an duels or defending myself in a lengthy sword battle with some nog. I'd rather quickdraw my sidearm and be done with it so I can make dinner and get 2 hours of free time before I have to hit the hay.
>>30371660
your ancestors died drawing blades together against foes and for what, your 2 hours of fapping to anime? i hope you get axed in your sleep for showing such a lack of pride.
I like how even the fittest and best trained fighting men can be easily killed by some idiot gangbanger with a gun.
My friend wanted to get into shooting, so I brought him to a range (first hit is free)
All was going splendidly until he chambered a 30-30 in my sks when I wasnt looking, and jammed the round so far forward I cant pull it straight out.
The round was high brass, so I dont expect damage to the barrel, but what would be the best, idiot-proof way, of getting the round out beyond shoving a rod in the barrel and potentially damaging the barrel/chamber?
pls halp
Load her up and pull the trigger
>>30371584
Wooden rod and a rubber mallet.
Then use the mallet on friend
>>30371584
30-30 is pretty much x39. Just chamber it, fire it, and use the cleaning rod to get it out. The fucking SKS wont get hurt.
I'm looking to get a do-all center fire bolt action rifle but am having trouble deciding on a caliber.
I have a Savage Model 25 in .223 but want something with more firepower. Even with a good .223 load, it has a 1:12 twist rate which causes heavier bullets to key hole and shoot inaccurately.
I also have a Mosin Nagant but want something chambered in a modern cartridge with better accuracy.
A panic-proof and decently common caliber is preferred.

.338 Lapua Magnum

Any decent .308 will handle most anything you're looking to do at common distances.
Savage, ruger, tikka are all liked rifles.
.25-06 is pretty good 125 grain bullet that is .257 inch diameter moving at 3000 feet per second if using basic load and possibly faster using better and more propellent
I want a semi auto rifle that is dmr levels accurate but also capable of taking down north American game.
I have a psl, fn fal, and m1 garand.
I am wondering if it is more financially sound to modify one if my rifles for the role or simply buy a new rifle that can already perform in the role for me.
>>30371441
Just put a scope on the FAL?
PSL is fun but not nearly as accurate.
Don't touch that Garand.
>>30371453
this
>>30371453
I would agree except the FAL is already heavy and, with the weight of a scope, think about if that's what you want in a hunting rifle.
SCAR-17 or an AR-10 build can get the weight down, maybe even a Keltec RFB or a DesertTech MDR, but it's not going to be easy to get a battle rifle down to hunting weight.
How viable would Reinhardt-esque power armor be in real life combat? i imagine with a hard light shield and strong armor plates soaking up bullets would be pretty decent until they pull out larger caliber guns or anti-tank.
plus with a big melee weapon (lots of reach and lots of force) while being somewhat impervious to small arms would make you a walking slaughterhouse and great at demoralization (of course he is too heavy and relies on a sci-fi shield and a rocket powered hammer but please tell me the actually usability of a melee-centric power armored soldier)
>>30370952
There is no viability for an armored melee centric soldier.
Go back to /m/.
>>30370952
Oh you poor soul.
You should've stayed in /v/, now they're going to come pouring out of the walls.
>>30370952
If power armor was feasible, then it would be even more feasible to use a bigger gun rather than fuck around with a hammer
CS rep told me the buffer/spring/extension are made by DPMS and High Standard (Both of which are pretty low end manufacturers IMO)
Does it really matter?
>>30370756
as long as its not some random shit from china, no it doesnt matter.
>>30370756
I really only worried about it when I was making an AR pistol. Some tunes don't fit the sig brace well. I went with one from Midwestern (I think that's the brand) because they had it measured out exactly for the brace.
I also used a heavier buffer since I was using a shorter barrel.
>>30370756
Extension is fine, sometimes the finish can be janky but it's a fucking tube, if it screws in then call it good.
Spring isn't really that big, it's a wear item that'll get swapped out eventually anyway.
If it's a 6 position carbine extension then ditch the stock buffer and get an H-Buffer just because that's what the military uses and it's a cheap way to fix some function and premature wear issues shooting a lot of milsurp 5.56.
Ignore if you're building a rifle.
It was/still is called the Spandau, get over it, and yes, it is worse than the Bren, get over it. There's a reason the Germans lost the war

>AR lower
what in the fuck
>>30370727
Is that an ar lower? What the shit?
So how the fuck do I aim with this thing?
At line 1 or 2?
1
Whatever you zero it at? The power is in your hands.
>>30370653
Lets say 100m? at 1 or 2?
75 years ago today Germany invaded Russia and got BTFO hard.
Even today would a land invasion of Russia be possible?
>>30370558
Well they weren't btfo right away, kicked Russia's ass for a bit.
>>30370578
All depends on the weather. If you can roll through before the Russian Winter sets in, you at least have a chance.

Dear /k/
I want to get a gun, but I have only fired a gun once in my life, I have barely any idea how they work.
What should I get? How do I git gud a shooting? Give me a beginner's rundown.
I live in the US, so I should be able to get one without any problems.
>>30370362
Watch videos about guns you're interested in.
Go to ranges and rent guns to shoot with.

Soon, i will into AKM for innawoods. Should i change the folding stock to a fixed one? I like wood furniture, and it'd be sturdier, but it'd be longer and heavier then too. I also might want to fix bayonet
what do
>>30369900
you can either pay $500 for parts and labor to have a slr style folding stock put on or you can buy some kind of folding stock like a magpul. either way, i wouldnt do it.
folding stock is good for transporting, thats about it.
>>30369917
The parts kit comes with a side folding rear trunnion
I can order a fixed rear trunnion if i want, but it's separate
>>30369900
Folders:
portability
aesthetic
cooking
not as sturdy
Fixed:
blunt object
cleaning kit place
shoulder thing wot goes up
aesthetic
sturdy as fuck(usually)
