I was under the impression that nuclear winter was a myth. I know OPpenheimer has said th8s, but are any points in this video valid?
Minute Physics is actually really mediocre because like most YouTube Science teachers, they go into a lot of 'what' and leave out most of the 'how' or 'why.' Rather he gives only very cursory glimpses into otherwise very complicated systems. But this particular video he seems to be shilling hard as fuck for some anti-nuclear campaign, rather than try to inform people.
tl;dr
Minute Physics sucks and you shouldn't watch his videos.
>>29426421
same applies to minute physics:

His understanding of the topic is, as we could say, "minute".
Time to the tale of my makeshft matchlock I tested today, I reckon.

Do continue

I might be slow, since I am trying to crop and convert some videos of the shoot to webm
Anyways, what we have here is a peice of copper pipe JB welded onto 1m of stainless steel schedule 80 .5" pipe to make a flash pan. The touchhole is 1/16", and that is a 2.5" bolt screwed into one end that I got threaded.
>>29425946
Specs on the pipe. Also, the internet says its bursting pressure is 26,250 PSI, which should be more than double 100 grain black powder + .50 calibre round ball, which is what I used.
How good is the RADAR stealth of modern warships? I was thinking of a scenario where a navy vessel was maneuvering close to a merchant vessel, which may or may not be able to detect it with RADAR.
Basically my questions are these:
>How well can the S-band and X-band slotted waveguide antennas typically mounted on merchant vessels detect stealth vessels?
>Has there ever been an incident related to this?
probably negligible
commercial ships mount radars?

>>29425591
Yes. They are very useful for navigating.
Radar signature info is held super close to the chest by the military. You won't get a good answer here. Dunno as to whether there have been incidents that have made the news.
I'm about to go to my aunts house who has a bunch of guns from her father (a huge gun collector) and I'm gonna buy some from her.
The two things I'm looking for that I know she has are
1. Elephant guns
2. Tons of all matching mauser rifles
But I know she has some 60 guns total.
I'll be posting pics all day
>>29425330
lay the foundation pupper
>>29425330
Lay the foundation pupper
Post elephant gun asap
Also lay the foundation pupper
Is getting a lathe, mill, and FFL/SOT cheaper than a full auto sear?
Several things
1) no
2) not in the long run
3) what part on that do you think you'd run on a lathe?
>>29425318
Stop fucking leaving the name on phone I fucking hate you
>>29425318
i just figured that an SOT requires a working business, so i figured i'd make sears for law enforces and then keep some for myself for "Testing".
Is it possible to kill a bear in CQB?

(Leo totally deserved that Oscar)
>>29424819
Yes. It's incredibly difficult but it has been done.
>>29424835
Definitley, he's one of my favorite actors. Honestly can't think of a bad film with him in. When I saw that bear cub I just knew shit was going down.
>>29424836
How? I thought bears were near unstoppable rape trains?
New milsurp thread!
>>29424787

What does /k/ think of the cellphone gun?
http://www.kare11.com/news/mn-company-invents-gun-that-looks-like-a-cell-phone/106462633
>>29424439
Wouldn't this be considered an AOW or something?
Is this a NFA AOW?
>>29424461
>>29424464
It needs its grip to be extended out before it can shoot so it dodges that label.
Well /k/ it finally happened. I had to yell a man to the ground at gunpoint while I was naked.
>>29424418
Well, I hope you had the goddamned common courtesy to give him a reach-around.
>>29424418
Tell us the story you faggot
>>29424433
What does /k/ think of the British Armed Forces?
>>29423579
great bunch i would join but sadly im not part of the Commonwealth
as a Murican i think the soldiers are probably pretty decent guys that are good at their jobs
their elite groups like the SAS are among the best in the world at secret squirrel stuff
i don't blame the soldiers for their govt's issues like lack of funding or a fucking ramp
>>29423579
This thread is going to be terrible.
Trolls, trolls everywhere.
The British Armed Forces is a high trained, well equip (for the most part) specialised force with limited global power projection.
Shares the same power bracket as France, though there's a difference in areas of focus. France is highly capable in some places that the UK is not, and the UK is highly capable in some places that France is not, but that's what allies are for.
Hey there /k/
Yesterday, a "refugee" assaulted me and my sister. I've always been one to "live and let live", but that's enough. I want to buy myself a handgun for self defense, but I don't know if a pistol or a revolver are better, what caliber, etc.
Any suggestions?
>>29423268
Which country you eu fag ?
I recently purchased a Makarov. Small and reliable.
This is going to be my first handgun.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but what are some essentials to have for firearm maintenance? Do you just shoot and clean it?
>>29423273
Austria
Can anyone ID this rifle? It's in possession of a roommate who none of us trust and I'd like to remove the firing pin from the bolt, but I don't know what rifle it is to properly disassemble the bolt.

>>29423198
Some Carcano. Don't be a shithead and fuck with someone else's property. Would you like it if someone opened your mail?

If I were a thirty year old child with bipolar disorder and an unmanageable sense of rage? Wouldn't mind at all
So apparently this is how T-90 looks after being hit by TOW 2A. Looks like the tank got away with slight exterior damage and the only part that appears to be broken from this angle is Shtora. Would the outcome be the same after Javelin impact?
Javelins hits from the top. I don't think many tanks are prepared for impacts coming from the top. Top armor is usually thinner to save weight. That said, new counter-measures are coming.
>>29422877
so apparently op is a vatnik and posted a pic of a normal in service t-90 that wasn't hit by anything except russian 'maintenance'
>>29422877
so why we need two of this thread OP? check the catalog you fuckin faggot
Unfortunately I live in Communist CA. What's the stupidest gun law in your state/country? Mine- 30 day waiting period between buying handguns.
>>29422722
WA State here (not King County shit hole though).
Worst law is the ffl transfer on private sales, but it's not enforced at all. Plus my FFL is an 80 year old guy who does it out of his garage and doesn't really charge for private transfers.
Canada.
It's honestly a bit of a toss-up. The ban on guns that never made it past prototype phase like the G11 ranks up there, though.
The fact that you can shoot a Russian anti-tank gun on your property but not a fucking .22 short pistol is pretty dumb.
Kentucky.
Have to apply for a permit to concealed carry. Fucking bullshit.
