/k/ I just bought a shield (single stack 9mm) and after a range trip I'm feeling a bit disappointed in the trigger. I shoot really great with my G19 but today I was consistently low and left on every magazine.
Does the shield have a break in time? Ive read that many people felt like the trigger felt smoother after a few hundred rounds. Is it my finger position? I shoot middle of my first pad with the G19, but felt much more shaky with this position on the shield. Do I just need to practice? I'm not very experience with compact guns so that might be a part of the problem.
Their triggers are meh. My suggestion is to dry fire practice a shit ton with it and work the reset, then practice your pull while balancing a coin or something on your slide while aiming at something small like a light switch in your home or a target. Shields are some of the most shootable subcompacts but you are going to need to practice alot if you are new to the type.
Buy and install an apex trigger.
>>30023366
didnt think of balancing a coin to practice, that is really good advice...thanks anon. How about trigger finger placement? do you adjust your trigger finger for compact frames compared to sub and full?
>>30023402
I was looking up prices for apex kits today and they are so damn expensive, Ill have to some up some cash before I can think about a trigger mod.
Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions on caseless ammunition? Do you think it is the next step for small arms weapons( speaking purely for infantry/ standard issue equipment not 3000 dollar ar15 master race buttholes) /k/ discuss...
>>30023196
>is something that already didn't work the next step
Yeah bro
>>30023204
What about textrons LSAT program?
Caseless ammo as of right now has too many problems with extraction, heat management, water resistance and general usability to be at all practical.
What we might see, and what I want to see personally is the rolling out of polymer cased telescoped ammo. So far the polymers seem to be holding up well in trials.
does anyone have the Auto ordnance M1 carbine, if so how is the quality?

>>30023041
post your collection then and i will tell you in detail why your knives would be shitty and useless in my situation.
Hey /k/, I was wondering what your problem with airsoft is. With airsoft, you can operate, even if you are a fat NEET with no real firearms skill. Unless you were with a government agency or a SHTF scenario, you would not be able to experience combat like you can in airsoft.
>but anon, you're forgetting about blanks
In the big military Simulation games, if you go through a verification process you can even use blanks.
>But anon, it's babyish
Not if you do it with your friends or with people...

>>30023039
pretty much this
we've all considered the military here (or served) the rush of combat doesnt make up for the heaps of shit you put up with on a daily basis
It's done, /k/! A few people asked me to post details once I had it done and running well. .308 AR, shoots 1" with dodgy ammo at 100 yards without a proper rest, cycles and functions well now that it's broken in (took about 30 rounds and some very aggressive oiling). Cost $800, including shipping and FFL fee, then about $120 in tools. Scope and rings are ones I had lying around. Mags not included.
>>30022825
That looks gorgeous.
>>30022825
Looks like a thing. Parts?
>>30022825
Uses SR-25 mags. Had to grind them a little to get them to fit; just took some material off the back of the magwell. Break in was a bitch, as the barrel and bolt are from different manufacturers, and the lockup was so tight it took some wearing in. Headspaced fine. Parts list, including shipping and FFL fee where appropriate:
Stripped blem upper- 70 PSA
Stripped blem lower -100 PSA
Buffer tube kit -40 Delta Team Tactical
20" HBAR -121 Anderson
Forend and buttstock -100 Boyd (X-Mas)

Why haven't these been made?
It seems like we're past due for this technology unless there are some major drawbacks?
>>30022730
> major drawbacks
80 tons with small surface area for feet, will sink into earth pretty much anyware. also if it falls, how the fuck do you get it back up
>>30022730
please take your butchered macross designs back to /m/ please.
>>30022760
In that case, would a smaller human sized version work?
you are a shia in the middle of isis controlled territory
you are at 500km from irak army controlled zone
you are carrying a 2 litres bottle of water, a knife, a pistol and arabic clothes
how do you manage to go to scape?
>>30022695
By the will of Allah.
Just walk out of ISIL territory.
Use the water and metal from the knife to start a fusion reactor, start it with the koffman system.
Use the unlimited power to turn sand into microchips and achieve unlimited computatonal power.
Use barrel of the gun to focus on the communication sattellites, hack into the global internet and troll slavboos until ISIS collapses.
just to fuck with you guys i made this ;)

Will there be a cruise missile spam in a serious shooting war (no nukes) considering a single missile costs $2 mil a pop for just 300kg of explosives?
Yes, particularly in the Pacific.
The US is quite fond of using tomahawks and it's pretty much China's main strategy in the outbreak of a war.
>>30022399
Actually they're about $1 mil each.
Over 100 cruise missiles were fired at Libya in a single night

This has happened to me before and I was still functional for another 6 hours. I just couldn't hear anything until the next day. I didn't lay on the ground crying like I was having a fucking heat stroke.
