Could we have a facts thread about stuff people might not know, particularly new shooters. I think this could really help people particularly newer gun owners. I'll start with a smaller one.
1. Lighter grain bullets tend to give not only less recoil but more muzzle flash as well.
>>30192733
2. You always load the chamber from the magazine.
>>30192752
3. Do not cross your thumbs behind the slide of a semi-automatic pistol or put your hand in front of the cylinder of a revolver.

There's your problem
Hey fol/k/s, I inherited a Colt Colteer 22lr and she shoots really well. However, I'm a doofus when it comes to trying to clean it and have no idea how to go about it.
I'm planning on going wabbit hunting this weekend and don't want to take her out as the repeating mechanism began to jam up a pit while at the range.
Does anyone have this gun and if so, could you either help guide me through it or perhaps create a video?
General gun care thread too.
shameless self bump
Have you tried looking that shit up? If not, just take it apart. Semi-auto 22 rifles are almost universally blowbacks. Very simple.
>>30192949
Only thing I found was a schematic of it disassembled, no instructions or anything.
Again, I'm a doofus and a newfag at guns beyond shooting them.
No idea how to even take out the repeating mechanism.
There's no overall topic for this thread. These are just some /k/ things I'm interested in and feel like propagating.

Don't tease us op
Sure. Ain't got anything else to do.
>>30192485
No. Leave it in the bucket.
The closest firearm to you just discharged, how fucked are you /k/?
If you are touching or carrying more than one, they both went off.
>inb4 trigger discipline
>inb4 guns don't just fire randomly
My right ass check was very closely grazed, probably hurts like fuck but only damaged a fatty part.
The pistol on my desk fired into the wall

Kinda hard to discharge when unloaded and disassembled for cleaning. Ditto for the second closest.
What does /k/ wear to a job interview?

A jock strap, corframs, Kevlar helmet, a light coat of CLP and my Wiley-X goggles.
Full kit, obviously.
>The F-35 can perform a supersonic "dash" for up to 150 miles without using afterburners
So why do people say that the F-35 can't supercruise?
>>30192342
Because it requires a dive, and "dashing" isn't really supercruise.
>>30192372
>Because it requires a dive
According to a blogger who is known for lying about the F-35.
>>30192342
Because Mach 1.2 is in (the end of) the transonic region, and because, according to some posts I've seen which may or may not be correct, Lockheed / the USAF got into a pissing match with Eurofighter 10 or 15 years ago.
The F-22 was new and in order to talk it up, they talked about how it was the only supercruising fighter in the world. Eurofighter talked to the media about how their fighter could also supercruise, so then the US defined supercruising as something like Mach 1.3 or higher to make it clear...

What does /k/ think of Stag Arms? Are they just Fudd's AR15?
>>30192305
I've got one. Purchased it years ago. It goes pew pew. I was in the market for an AR platform for years. After looking, reading, and more looking, I settled with stag.
great gun best warranty
>>30192305
i'm a lefty and i think it's great that they put out some good quality left-handed uppers.
didn't they get shut down though??
Thoughts?

The CZ scorpion is just as good and much cheaper.

Except for the mags
>>30192364
You can buy an evo and 20+ magazines for less than the price of the mpx.

Which branch should I join?
I'm in my early 30s with a shitty degree. I don't want to look back on my life and say I should have served my country.
>>30192149
it's too late for you to fly. all the "unlesses" involve you joining the navy or air force about 5-10 years ago.
>>30192149
Serve your country by going into politics. We already have a lot of really good soldiers, sailors, and other fighting men. What we have a shortage of is good people to elect into office.

Going to see a Navy recruiter tomorrow, he told me to bring some questions with me. What exactly should I be asking him about that I cant't find on the internet?
I have the opportunity to join the NZDF, but I can also get my Australian citizenship and join the ADF, which would be a better option ?
Does baguette enlistment count ?

Are there any non-cancerous PMC's
I've been reading up on straight pull rifles recently, and I came across pic related. It sounds like a Mauser 98 action, but with straight pull sexiness.
Unfortunately, in further reading, I found that it was designed in 1929, but due to the Great Depression, never made it to actual manufacturing. Tho I think I heard a company in Belgium was going to start producing them.
Any chance of them possibly coming over here for a reasonable price?
Also, what would be the practicality of making a similar design, but updating it, such as adding a Model 70 extractor and maybe safety?

>Any chance of them possibly coming over here for a reasonable price?
I can't think of a single European made bolt action hunting rifle that is imported for a reasonable price.
