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.

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:

>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

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...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
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.

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.
