What does /k/ think would cause another civil war? Not necessarily north against south but perhaps a revolution. Who or what would you support? What would push you to fight? What would the aftermath of a successful or unsuccessful uprising be?
Slavery again, but this time for intelligent robots.

you're right
it was about states rights to keep slavery legal.
/BGT ballistol general thread.
Whats that smell Edition.
Why is the best gun oil/cleaner ballistol and why does it smell like dead animals.
>>29809732

I also use ballistol. I've tried a lot of different products and in my opinion it works best. I think smells kinda like black licorice.
Hoppes 9 is still king when it comes to smell though.
Why did the USAF go from being dominated by bombers to being dominated by fighters?
Believe it or not, there was once a time when there were more B-52's than fighters. Fighters (or interceptors as they were called back then) were seen as a purely defensive measure. It was assumed that bombers would be doing all the real work and the fighters would just be something like a goal-keeper for protecting the homeland.
What happened?
>>29809574
LeMay called it quits, ICBM's became the new hotness, and the hippies ruined everything and made being a bomber pilot uncool.
SALT treaties because "muh nukes" ,the end of the Cold War and "this is totally not a bomber guize" bombers like this thing

And that's the story of how I met my wife. She actually likes shooting, just doesn't like being ignored.
>>29810075
HAHAHAHA!
This is the best story ever!!
Hey /k/ommandos, I need suggestions for a bug out bag I'm assembling for my wife. She's 5'6, 130lb. I've got everything from a-z, except rifle. I'm currently looking at Henry Arm's take on the AR-7 Survival rifle.
Any other ideas? Remember : Light, Reliable, Easy to Use/Maintain/Disassemble/Stow and Carry.
Thanks in advance.
(pic related, fully disassembled AR-7)
>>29809507
From what I've read, you'd be better off with a Ruger 10/22 takedown. Supposedly the new AR-7's are complete trash and even the older ones (which are supposedly 'okay') are inferior to the Ruger 10/20 takedown.
I had toyed with the idea of getting an AR-7 a while ago, but I ended up with the takedown. I'm satisfied with my decision.
>>29809507
I have an AR 7 (the Henry survival one) and it's a piece of shit. Won't eject a round. 2 gun smiths later, no answers. Still will not eject every 2nd or 3rd round. Get something else. My neos works every time, even with shit ammo
>>29809529
>>29809577
Fuck. Honestly I was about to order one, the whole "super light and super stow able" aspect is pretty fucking hypnotizing. Ruger 10/22 looks pretty promising, but I hate the stock stock, but it looks like there are tonnes of different non oem stocks.
This is why you don't use undersized bullets. They produce violent but shallow wound channels.
The test was with .22-250, which is considerably faster than .223. If .22-350 can't break that egg, .223 with the same bullet can't either.

>varmint bullet
>going 500+fps faster than if it were loaded in .223
>being surprised it has a shallow wound channel
Yeah you're a retard.
>>29809435
good to hear, I was worried about my eggs that are 2 feet deep in my flesh
>>29809455
The fact that it's going faster should cause MORE damage, not less.
Everyday carry thread. Post what you carry with you.

Which is the good one and which is the meme one?
Neither are the meme one... Why does one have to be a "Lel meme" one? You're a faggot
>>29809201
They were both sufficient for their intended roles.
>>29809201
i swear you retards have no idea what meme means anymore
Google couldn't figure this one out for me. Does shooting slugs out of a smoothbore shotgun damage the barrel in any way?
My family swears you need a rifled barrel for slugs but they also believe 9mm can't kill a person so I thought it was fuddlore.
Can I hit a human torso reliably at 50 yards with slugs through a smooth bore?
Pic kinda related I want one.
>>29809102
Riled slugs
>>29809102
Smooth bore is fine. Choke is more important, I believe cylinder is preferable for shooting slugs.
If I recall correctly, though, you might need a rifled barrel to use saboted slugs, or at the very least to fully reap the benefits of saboted slugs.
Personally, I can hit a torso at 50 yards consistently using only the front bead on my Browning Auto-5 and foster style Remington 2 3/4" slugs.
>>29809102
Rifled slugs are designed for smooth bore shotguns and sabot slugs are designed for rifled barrels. Next time try Google first.
Shut that pisses you off
Same gun as above
