Hey phams. German here. What's best to carry as self defense weapon when guns are illegal?
Don't wear underwear so they don't take as long
A gun.
>>29932407
grow out your beard wear a taqiyah and carry a koran. start screaming random expletives at whoever challenges you and hope a mob will stone them to death before they reach you
So is there a story behind the "lost all my guns in a boating accident"? I hear people say it all the time but have no idea where it came from.
>>29932404
I don't know what you're talking about Mr. ATF man.
The fuck are you talking about? I hired a bpat to grt rid of my guns and he burned them all. Boats are great at their jobs man.
i once sailed a boat on cement and all my guns and ammo sunk under the floor in my basement
I bought my first gun yesterday /k/. can i join the hasgun club now?

Woo memes!
Literally nobody cares
Post weapons with side-mounted magazines, for they look funky.
I'll just post a few.
Also, what are the general upsides of side-mags, and why have they been abandoned?
From what I understand, in SMGs with long magazines it was done to make sure the mag doesn't get in the way when prone, and some rifles (namely the FG-42) are overall shorter than they would've been with a conventional magazine position.
These days they're no longer used by anyone because balance and ambi, but wouldn't an RPK or IAR-style automatic rifle benefit from a side-mag? Those RPK 45-rounders look like they get in the way.
Is there any reason not to buy this?
>>29932262
You must have super tiny hands for that green one.
Squishy trigger, assuming you care.
>>29932262
No, buy it. Buy it and shoot it and be happy.
First off, I don't know shit about body armor.
What do you guys own?
Which to you prefer, hard or soft, ceramic or steel plates?
Do any of you keep a plate carrier or a vest in the trunk or even on your person?
>>29932184
>Which to you prefer, hard or soft, ceramic or steel plates?
If you have to wear it for an extended period of time, soft, especially if you don't want it to be obvious. If you actually plan on getting shot at and don't care about everyone seeing you armored, then go with hard.
>>29932184
>inb4 people try to shit on ar500
level III+ is fine, but if you want to spend twice as much for less you could get ceramics
>buh buh muh weight
>buh buh a 22-250 hurrr fuds love it hurrr
>>29932642
It's more about the spalling, which will fuck your shit up. If you're going to spend the $, get a set of ceramic level IV standalones. As you mentioned, hunting cartridges will also go through those.
How does one swim across a river carrying a rifle? I thought about tying a rope to the rifle and dragging it across after swimming to the other side, but that would probably damage the rifle as it scraped the riverbed.

What's a boatgun?
>>29932183
It's like a gunboat but not really
Bought this at a yard sale for $25. I think it's an HK scope but I'm not certain. Is it worth anything?
Here's a shot of the top.
>>29932004
>Is it worth anything?
About $4-600.
What camouflage pattern is this?
>>29931988
blue

All, I know is that's a russian carrier plane.
As for the pattern. No idea.

I hit this realization about a year ago. Started doing pack walks to compensate.

Two kekkels for you
>>29931851
That slide is insanely cringe worthy. Can you imagine the man child that owns such a thing?
>>29931851
the only thing that really needs to be changed on a glock is the stock sights, which are comically bad.
that said, the "glock perfection" slogan is pretty bold, but they are the best gun for reliability to cost ratio. They also have a solid combat record.
I get why .357 Magnum pistols are memes, but why aren't there any semi-auto carbines of that caliber (that i'm aware of)?
In .357 lever-gat recoil is rather gentle, in semi-auto it would be even lower.
Would they be valiable home defence carbines?
>>29931773
People always mention flash/noise/over penetration regarding .357 as a HD/SD caliber.
Not sure about the loudness or flash from carbine esque barrel lengths myself.
>>29931773
Well. To nitpick, a semi-auto would probably have more felt recoil (depending on how it operates) than a levergat by virtue of having parts moving in reaction to a round being fired.
That aside, I'd love it if there was something like a Sub2000 in .357.
Inb4 buy an AR. Yeah it'll do better and probably cost you less, but I get the feeling OP wants a semi .357 carbine because he wants a semi .357 carbine.
>>29931803
>semi-auto would probably have more felt recoil
really?
I feel it the other way
Why aren't they a bigger deal? Also post interesting suppressor technology. What's the best way to make a suppressor light/well balanced, effective, and short?
>>29931256
They don't fit on 90% of firearms without extensive destructive modification?
>>29931295
What?
>>29931301
Most guns have a front sight at the end of the barrel you dingus. Having to thread a half inch of barrel isn't normally an issue but when you need to have four plus fucking inches of suppressor covering the barrel, things start getting in the way.

HMS Queen Elizabeth should have been CATOBAR. She isn't.
The United kingdom has a population of 64 Million
The USA has a population of 318 Million
The US Navy has reduced their fleet from 11 to 10 super carriers and with those numbers can only have two on deployment at any time (with another one on it's way to relieve one of those two) as opposed to 3.5 with 11. This is mainly due to their nuclear reactors needing a long mid life refueling and maintenence.
By cheaping out on the CATOBAR and Nuclear power the United kingdom is able to afford not only the...

It's not needed. We fight a casual and economic war now. Carriers are useless. Case in point, the Chinese islands. Carriers can't do anything about it. Would they risk MAD if they sink the islands? The islands are Chinese lands like the carriers are American land.

why are ramps better than flat
why is gas better than nukes
Alright, I think we all like to have a bit of fun thinking up our own militaries so here we go:
1. This is assuming you are going for world domination, and you already have most of the world under your control
2. You have $1,300 Billion USD to spend
3. The enemy you need to overthrow has $376 Billion USD (With China/Russia level equipment)
>Hard mode: no nuclear weapons
Go for it
>>29931169
so we have the budget for the entire '03 iraq war to dominate the world.
there is gonna be some serious jewing going on
>>29931180
That is PER YEAR
Should've mentioned that... my mistake
>>29931223
I'm also assuming no treaties/limits minus hardmode's no nukes?
