What does /k/ thing of TiN(Titanium nitride) bolt carriers?
Are they worth it?
I know a standard BCG will work just as well, but thoughts?
>>29225431
From a TiN coatings on tools .pdf
>TiN coating will be most effective in reducing flank wear and, thus increasing tool life. In addition, the low frictional and anti-weld characteristics of titanium nitride, it can be utilized to allow higher speeds and feeds thus providing increased productivity.
Durability. And aesthetically it's a pleasant hue with black imo. Purists don't like it, and it's benefits aren't shattering, you're paying extra for...

Slightly more resistant but basics cheap "mil-spec" carrier go on trucking for tens of thousands of rounds anyway.
>Do you want to be extra Gucci?
Go for it.
>>29225431
I've used regular bolts since 1988 and haven't had a problem. Tens of thousands of rounds sent down range. Zero broken bolts or bolt carriers.
Here's a pic of me with my very first B and BC:
>Highlighting the stringent selection process During the STF Training Course in 2005 a total of 453 applications were received. When pre-selection was done, only 108 of the 453 candidates measured up to pre-selection requirements. Of the 108 who made it through pre-selection, only 42 completed the Preparation and Condition (PREPCON) phase, and only 20 candidates managed to complete the Vasbyt phase. The recruits who didn't pass the PREPCON phase admitted that their failure to do so was due to the insufficient preparation for the course because they...

The what now? What's that for?

South African GSG-9 Essentially. Paramilitary SWAT.
In an SF environment, one guy fucking up can have more of an effect than one guy in a mechanized unit fucking up, and 5x the manpower is irrelevant if you can only deploy a small force in the first place.
Much like aircraft carriers; you don't want 500 biplanes, you want 75 F/A-18s.

So, should I or should I not bring any shotguns?
DA RULES say they're not allowed and frankly they're not much fun unless we have clays imho...
>>29225103
I didn't know you could have guns in Georgia, slavlands usually have poor gun laws for some reason.
But do you think there are enough Georgians on the board to get a meet going?
>>29225419
Weak bait mon frere.
if katanas are so sharp, why dont they cut through their own sheath?
>>29224934
Because it's been folded enough times to learn not to.
>>29224934
years of training to prevent such a thing
Inside the sheath is the katana's strict Asian parents.
Hello guys,
I'm about to get my license to manufacture and distribute pretty much anything electromechanical, and I still have some leftover boxes advanced and smart materials from older prototypes.
Long story short I think I can build a draw weight assist supersonic bow (maybe one or two)
Before I start the detailed math and safety considerations and shit I'd like to ask if all y'all know any crazy ass mofos that'd be interested in owning such a tool, and how much you'd expect they'd be willing to pay for it.
A bit...

Until you get that car battery shit done OP, you got the market cornered. Really, you could set your own price and not worry about people not buying your product because you're the only one selling. However don't up charge extensively or else no one, not even Flandres, would buy one. Also look professional, because I won't mind giving you a few bucks for one.
>tl;dr: You make your own price, make it reasonable, and I want one.
P.S. Look into Kickstarter as well, that'd be pretty good.
>>29224953
>You make your own price, make it reasonable
>I won't mind giving you a few bucks for one.
now the thing is the materials alone (and I don't have the absolute numbers in, but a conservative estimate) , for a single piece, would cost around the ballpark of $5k.
>>29225009
Well if that's the case, you need to also compete against regular bows then. What's the poundage that your getting out of this for 50-70 pounds? If it's much greater then you just made a great step in bows, for those that still use them. If there's not that much of a difference, then don't try. Sorry.
What could actually cause a nuclear war today?
>>29224367
Russia.

I'm going out on a limb and saying a launch of a nuclear weapon against us.

Aliens kidnapping a General, probing his mind for the codes and remotely launching towards China.
Does anyone have a good video explaining how extraction in various firearms works, in detail? Like how it works in an AK or AR, or whatever. I'm interested for reasons.
Pic related, it has to do with those button things, right?
I mean I don't necessarily need a video but yeah, just any explanation.
>>29224288
Eight cycles of function. Listen and remember.
1. Feeding
2. Chambering
3. Locking
4. Firing
5. Unlocking
6. Extracting
7. Ejecting
8. Cocking
If your weapon has a problem it is one of those things. Always remember the cycles of function for automatic weapons.
>>29224288
The extractor on the left catches the edge of the cartridge. The post(s) on the right flip it out.
Why does this not get any love from the CC community? Why is there so much hate for it?
Easily the most comfortable .380 in it's class - DA/SA so everything after your first shot is butter, grade A sights, accurate as fuck, eats everything and still easily concealable. I get that it's not for everyone, but I just went through a lelkek P3AT, XDs 9mm 3.3, to an XDS .45 4.0, Colt 1903 Hammerless, Ruger LC9S (which the wife is keeping, fucking fantastic trigger), Glock 42, S&W Bodyguard, Bersa Thunder, and a Beretta Tomcat. This beats all those in most categories. And it's sub 400.
Is it because of Umarex?
>>29224173
>380
I'll pass
>>29224225
Why? This isn't the fuckin' 70's.
Technology has advanced, .380 is a very capable round.
https://youtu.be/GNtPHYwcDts
>>29224173
The fad of the ineffective .380 has passed. Get a caliber that will actually protect you.
How big a gun would it take to stop a 600 lb death machine running full-speed at you?
>>29223890
A salad. Auto correct says no famas.
>>29223890
1st: Learn to speak English.
2nd: Shot placement.
3rd: I'd feel safe with hand grenades and a .50 cal.
.40, 10mm, and .50 is usually your best choice when a grizzly is charging you. If you have hollow points or shredding rounds in a 9mm you might be able to get away with it. I've also heard rumors of semi auto 10-22's being able to do it if you can bounce enough off its face eventually one will make it in the eye if you're lucky. Unfortunately though a .22 usually won't make it past the flesh.
Idk where to post this but let's say some dudes, not me, we're to ambush a party with paintball guns with these intent on stealing those precious coolers, im a give a 3 or man team, Inna suburb, with access to paintball guns, smoke grenades, maybe a co2 bb gun and batons, pls help plan this daring caper
>>29223756
This thread has potential. How drunk are you OP?
>>29223756
Plan from when we exit our vehicle to when these people (again this is tots fantasy) get the cooler and how to exhilarate, obvious stuff like ski masks and covering up our license plates and any identifiable things have been thought of, but the plan of attack is yet to be decided, again this is in a suburban area, in a small town

Am I being detained?
Hey /k/, I'm new to weapons. But I live in USA and want a gun for open carry.
What type:
>pistol
Nothing big. Just something to protect myself from the niggers.
>>29223526
sauer 1913
>>29223558
no
>>29223558
>>29223570
I'll stick to pistols
Thoughts on this for a first handgun/ccw?
>>29223374
Please don't buy a carry gun before you can finger-fuck the thing.
>>29223374
Looks great. .357 revolver leaves no brass behind. It is simple to operate. There is no failure to feed or other common problems found in magazine fed weapons. You have the original point and click.
>>29223408
>leaves no brass behind
Are you a nigger?
A while ago a guy was on here talking about his time as a private maritime contractor. Was wondering how one gets into that sorta field.
Join the military during wartime. It's like college for mercenaries. In theory you could do the job without that prior training, but no hiring manager is going to take the risk.
Quickest way in is the FFL because they almost always have combat missions.
>>29223272
>Was wondering how one gets into that sorta field.
I learned by googling that exact phrase and going from there. Please try it and come back here to post the more specific questions that come up.
This entire process will go smoother for all of us
>>29223313
>join during peacetime in hopes that war breaks out so you're already in and ready to go
This is like trying to get a straight when you're holding a 7 and a 2, right?
opinions?

so you want people to laugh at you in real life and on /k/?

There is literally nothing wrong with these rifles. The package deal is shit, but for a basic bitch rifle, these are ok.

also all that safety first on western videos are fucking annoying and kills all interest.
>These two Russian Navy vessels are facing off against each other in a tense competition to win a military exercise. Pick your side!
None
They are both gonna break down halfway through the competition
>>29224335
you're thinking about amerinigger ships that break down after few weeks in the water... russian ones are resilient as fuck.
