How long can you keep a percussion loaded and still have it fire reliably?
Also general wheel gun thread.
>>30148951
You don't. You go buy in .38 special.

>How long can you keep a percussion loaded and still have it fire reliably?
It really depends, but it's safe to say months, even years if stored properly.
Chambers will be rusted as fuck though if you keep it loaded for months/years though. I keep mine loaded and unload it at the range every week, works just fine, barely any rust.
>>30148951
Depends on a lot of factors. I kept a loaded 44cal Pietta around for two months due to curiousity and complacency.
Of the six cylinders, all fired weak, and two required recapping with magnum caps to fire. This is with a lead seal from using 457cal balls, capped and buttered.
If you are using one as a carry piece, please don't.
I want to make my own rifle /k/ I have access to a metal shop. I'm not too familiar with the machines or the exact science of fire arms. I just know how to shoot them and take them apart to clean them. I want to make a .50 bmg rifle. Suggestions? Tips?
How many dogs have you shot?
>>30148939
sincere suggestion. Don't
seriously you can hurt yourself something fierce if you make a simple mistake. Start with .22 at least and read up on laws for making your own firearms. I'm pretty sure its legal
Ive been reading this book to help me. Bill Holmes book .50 Caliber Rifle Construction Manual. I'm trying to teach myself AutoCAD(terrible idea) so I can 3d model all the parts first
I know almost nothing about firearms. What is a good rifle to start learning with? Assuming I intend to use it for hunting and home defense, but mostly just to learn the ins and outs of guns so I'm no longer a limp-wristed faggot.
>>30148873
bump.
>>30148873
we'll tell you to get a mossin, leddit will tell you to get a .22
don't get either for your first gun, but something in between
>>30148873
10/22 for learning and hunting rabbits
AR as something that is relatively easy to learn to use and is good for home defense.
Would you rather shoot your local heroin dealer, or an ISIS soldier?
The main heroin distributor of your city or an ISIS General?
Weapon of choice?
>>30148834
Is there a third option to shoot OP for creating this pointless thread?
>>30148834
But what if I'm both those guys?
ISIS all the way. If you're a big enough dumbass to fuck with heroin, you deserve everything you get. weapon of choice - AR cuz merica
Here's a fun little story about living in California:
>order pic related, vepr 12 shotgun
>order mag lock with it
>get call from FFL saying that the shotgun is "borderline illegal" and they don't know if they can sell it to me
>they say that the maglock can be removed "too easily" for it to be legal
>say they will call me back after they figure out of its legal or not
I have bought two AK rifles from the same FFL and have mag locks on them without issue.
What the fuck? I already live in Commiefuckifornia and you have to do this shit?
What do I do now /k/? Sit here and wait for a call or what?
>ibn4 move out of CA
Or maybe my FFL is just retarded?
Get a BeNelli m4

Absolutely zero pity for you.
>>30148598
buy a shitty rivet gun kit from harbor freight and have them rivet the fucker on with a 3/32" rivet or two
sure does feel good knowing that when i'm bored i can go into my back yard or innawoods and fire as many rounds as i want without the police being called because my neighbors arent't libby cucks, jealous commie state fags?

Only if you own the land fucktard. Moved from Arizona to Texas and it is nothing but a disappointment. Gun owners here are complete morons and range fees are ridiculous and there isn't any public land to shoot on. Makes me curious to know where in Texas you are.

Are there cases of modern day PTSD as severe as what stemmed from WW1? Does modern day PTSD affect soldiers in a different way than the soldiers from the WW1 era? If it is not as severe today, is this because of social conditioning or have combat situations become moderate in comparison?

Combat situations are easy today, just pop pop pop in the general direction of the enemy then call in air support.
Those men didn't have access to an iota of the mental healthcare or medication that soldiers have today.
Serious question: WTF is a "leftenant"?
>>30147946
I think it's just the british way of pronouncing it.
like how the french pronounce colonel like colonel and not kernel

I was beaten by some guy called Liou Tenant
Now look at that. that is the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier, that is going to replace the Nimitz class (and the old Enterprise). This one is pretty much completed, but is yet to be commissioned by the Navy. joining it will be another 9 vessels of this class.
now, three of them has already gotten their names, the CVN-78 will be called Gerald R Ford, the CVN-79 Will be called John F Kennedy, and the CVN-80 is to be named enterprise, honoring the two earlier Carriers to bear that name. Or something
I am wondering about the other 7 of them. what name will/should they get do you think?
They're going to get shit names after dull politicians like all the other ones.
Guaren-fucking-tee the last in the class will be the USS Barack Obama
USS Donald J Trump
What about names from the old Essex class? Valley forge? Shangri-La? Boxer?
>try to buy extra makarov magazines
>50 to 60 dollars USD
What the actual fuck. Is this what ausfags feel like when they go magazine shopping?
What've you looked into buying recently, only to hiss at the insane cost, /k/? Tell me.
Except for the "fudd bought out every vendor at the funshow and relisted their ammo at twice the price." We all know about that guy.

Are you absolutely fucking serious right now
What is a day in the life of a USMC armorer like? Interested in hear stories.

Inventories, more inventories, more inventories.
Private Retard broke something and it's your fault.
Stuff is broken or missing components. Fill out request paperwork for it. Wait for that paperwork to get ignored. Do it again next month. Repeat.
Oh fuck, time to take all these rifles to get bore inspected. FML.
>>30147186
What if I'm really interested in weaponry? Would it help me get into gun smithing when I get out?
>>30147211
Doesn't hurt. Just know there is more inventory and cleaning inspection than there is actual gunsmith stuff.

/k/,
I have sought out your weapon expertise today because I am about to buy my first handgun, and I do not want to make a very expensive mistake. In particular, I am looking for a home defense weapon that can kill pretty much anything, including humans, bears, elephants, drones, zombies, irresponsible children, you name it. To that end, I have done some homework and read up considerably on the Desert Eagle mk XIX .50 AE caliber handgun and, from everything that I've read, this seems like one of the best possible handguns you could buy to fulfill these purposes. That being said, there are a lot of mixed opinions about this gun, with some people decrying it as downright useless (including many on this site,) so I'd like you to hear my rationale and maybe tell me why I'm wrong, or recommend me something better. Basically, this is a "prove me wrong" thread, but I'm honestly not trolling-- just completely new to guns.
Anyway, here's my theory: Besides that I have hands big enough and arms strong enough to wield this monster of a handgun in the first place, many of the gun's biggest problems seem to be easily overcome through the application of very basic mods. For instance, the most common arguments I have read against buying this piece are that the gun jams very frequently, making it unreliable, and that it has terribly bad recoil which completely disqualifies it from being shot one-handed. I have read, however, that the gun's jamming doesn't occur as a result of faulty mechanics, but instead occurs only when the shooter allows the barrel to tilt up too much when firing it. In other words, it seems to be a combination of poor stance and the gun's nasty recoil which cause it to jam up at all, if ever (some people never have this problem.)
(cont'd)
>>30146398
The solution? Shell out the extra $300, get the factory muzzle brake on that bitch, and then get the barrel custom ported by the agency that MR recommends on their site. Even without the ported barrel, the factory muzzle brake completely solves the recoil problem to such a degree that you can even shoot it one-handed without any sort of problem, as you can see this guy doing in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9W8NiZKN2A
Getting the barrel ported as well should make recoil (and therefore jamming) even less of an issue, and I did call ahead to make sure that this was a thing you could do in addition to getting the brake. With those major issues out of the way, the mk XIX actually seems like a highly reliable handgun capable of delivering incredible power with deadly accuracy. Granted, it does have a pretty small mag size at 7 shots, but that's no issue for me-- this is the kind of gun where you should be able to kill ANYTHING you point it at within the first 7 shots, and I do plan on picking up a spare mag or two anyway. The gun can even be further modified for increased effectiveness (maybe slap some laser sights on that bitch?) but I'm not actually sure you need to, or that you'd want to, given the gun's already cumbersome weight.
TL;DR - Unmodded, this gun is undoubtedly complete shit, but with some basic mods it seems like a god-tier handgun. Thoughts?

Are you retarded?
Went to range and then this happened. Ammo is 9mm Winchester white box. Gun used Springfield xds 4.0 . Shot 200 rounds after this happened with no issues. Can anyone shed light on this occurrence?
something's fucky
>winchester white box
That's the problem
Winchester Shite Boxes are known for having incredibly shitty loads.
Kinda looks like the case hung up on something when it went to feed and you continued slamming the slide into it, or you pulled a bullet and mangled the case with tools.
