What are those cuts in the helmet camo cover for ?
>>29204815
so you can add local vegatation for better concealment
Sticking small branches for ultra camo. It breaks up the human silhouette
>>29204815
Extra camouflage.

hunting thread?
some faggot fox has been killing my chickens and I'm trying to figure out how to kill it. I've been considering two strategies. First is to try and trap it alive in one of those box traps (like havahart or whatever), have to use a live trap because we have cats and other small animals wandering around the yard. Anyone have any experience trapping foxes with those? Main drawback to this is the price, the trap would probably cost about $100
The second option is to shoot the fox, which would be more challenging. They mainly come out at night,...

As you mentioned, foxes are nocturnal so you'll only see it if your lucky or dedicated to staying up late with a red-lens spotlight.
The livetrap baited with a can of cat food will catch it, along with all kinds of other varmints. Make sure you get a decent sized box trap in case you catch something you aren't planning on. Caught my cocker spaniel one time. Poor girl was in there half the night.
>>29204687
any tips on how to set up the trap? should I try to disguise it so it looks less obvious?
>>29204792
No. You can leave it out in the open in your front yard and still catch stuff. Critters don't care, they are all gibsmedats cat food and walk right in.
>In 2016, China's Air Force is the largest in the Pacific and its Navy has the largest amount of surface combatants in the world. In its continual buildup of military hardware and troops, China is expected to make more claims in expanding its territory and pose a risk to the security of nearby countries in the South China Sea and South East Asia.
>China has progressively been increasing its military expenditure (though it boasts one of the lowest percentages of GDP spent on the military at 1.2%) and is expected to...

Exponential growth is not sustainable
For that to happen, China must keep the same growing GDP and the same % for military spending for 20 years.
That's realy unlikely to happen.

yeah, ok whatever ChongChing
What does /k/ think of Armadillo?
is it any good?
I enjoyed it

All I remember of it is the amount of butthurt because of this:
>The patrol comes under fire and a soldier is hit. In the ensuing chaos the Taliban position is discovered to be directly in front of the patrol in a ditch only three metres away. A hand grenade is tossed into the ditch followed by the order to 'neutralize them' and subsequent sporadic gunfire is heard. Five Taliban are killed and there are graphic scenes of their bodies being pulled from the ditch and stripped...

What does /k/ think about sellier & bellot hp 9mm for cz 07 for self defense carry. I was about to buy them but heard that they leave unusually dirty residue in the gun. They are cheaoer than winchester though and the gun store praises them (Czech bullets for a Czech gun etc.). Anyone here use them?
>(Czech bullets for a Czech gun etc.).
What a surprise, czfags are poorfags and retarded
Only ammo I use. Cheap, reliable. Why not? Clean your gun after range and you'll be fine.
>>29203762
>>29203761
But is it true that it's inferior? It's not a matter of money it's just what my gun shop has. They run out of hp when I bought the gun so I'm carring fmj. Called them today they say that hp arrived and it's cb. Intended to come over shot the fmj and pick up the sb but after reading a bit on line this came up.
Would you rather own one nice gun or three cheap guns?
one nice gun
>>29203690
I'd rather own one without a fucknasty roll mark, tbqh fem.
One working gun.
I found out I'm c-cross eyed dominant...
>mfw I may need to shoot with my left hand..
Shoot with your non dominant eye, instead
It's really not that big a problem. I got it too. AND astigmatism.
>>29203321
> Dominant eye
lol wat? both my eyes see everything at the same time...
Weapons are scary.
Im a yeoman in navy but weapons scare me.
How do I not get anxiety around weapons?
>>29203281
Exposure buddy.
>Rent Full retard AR or AK
>Magdump that bitch
>Repeat as necessary
How to not fear weapons: remember the enemy always has one also. And they may not be as friendly as you. Your weapons are your protection. When it comes down to it, everything is a weapon except you just need the right mindset to realize that. Like pic related.

Hi K,
fit here,
Im a gun noob but have a question. If I steal a shotgun round from my friend and use it to kill myself, will he face any repercussions? He has a FOID card and bought everything legally. I already took a shotgun from my grandfather to use.
However this is all contingent on my doctors appointment friday. If I am terminal I want to go out on my own terms. I'm shooting myself in the chest so my parents can have an open casket.
Any advice? I would be grateful
>>29202802
What state?
Also the most /fit/ way to kill yourself is to just go full retard with the gear.
Get big, die huge. Have to get put in an extra wide casket just to accommodate your quads.
>>29202802
No, he will be fine. Go ahead and an hero. Live stream it for /b/.
>/fit/
You're only slightly more tolerable than /pol/. If you were from /pol/ ID squeeze the trigger for you.
Nah your friend should be fine op
Also just go full punisher and waste some nig nogs before you die, make the world a better place as your opus magnum
Evening /k/
I'm hoping to get a breakdown on the machinery involved in manufacturing firearms 'from scratch.'
I believe you need some sort of CNC mill, though I'm curious as to the specific types.
I also understand the Magnetic Particle Inspectors have become pretty standard as a means of proactive quality control.
What other machinery is required/involved?
Please help me expand my knowledge on this subject. Thanks
>>29202777
is the mass production or one offs?

>>29202788
Mass production
thanks for the embed
checked
you need a mill, lathe, and drillpress
they dont need to be computer controlled but it helps.
most small companies buy barrel blanks buying a machine just to make barrels and do rifling isnt worth it
enjoy more low tech gunsmithing

Just bought this Millennium G2 today. Paid $199, and the shop threw in a box of 50 rounds for free.
How'd I do?
I'd say pretty damn good for a poorfag
>>29202449
Poorfag? Or professional haggler?
>>29202532
definitely poorfag. anyone with money would go for a better tier manufacturer.
So I'm a bit nervous that there might be a potential awb in the very near future . Right now I have enough money to get 1 of either an ak 47 or a ar15. I cant decide in either of them since they both have there pros and cons. can any of you offer any insight?
>can only afford 1 at the moment so no spare parts for me, so reliability is a bit important
>cheap ammo would be a plus
>something I can have fun,hunt and self defense.
>>29202263
How much do you have exactly?
>>29202263
they are both equally scary and should be banned equally
>>29202263
Build an AR. It's probably the cheapest way to go and if shit ever goes down 5.56 will be the caliber most will be shooting do to its prevalence in NATO.
Im debating getting body armor but the ar500 shit is waaaay too heavy. I have researched and found spartan body armor. Level 3 and 4 is relatively lightweight, even with front, back, and side plates.
Question is this. Is there any other armor out there thats comparable thats lighter?
I live in Alaska so Wet weather i would assume degrades soft armor faster. Looking for hard plate inserts to keep me safe from common rifle rounds and as light as possible.
bump
>>29202132
DKX Armor is pretty light, it's buoyant and it is drop safe
Level III plate weighs 2.9 lbs.
Level IIIA weighs 1.25 lbs
Has a civilian ever been saved by an armor vest?
Would the Mossberg with the shockwave grip be good for home defense? I'm considering buying a Mossberg off a friend for about 280 that comes with this kind of grip.
>>29202102
Yes.
The raptor feels waaaay better than the ar style grips.
Less murder to your wrists...
>>29202102
Yes but 280 is a rip off unless it's a 590. If it's just a regular 500 its worth like 225 tops.
>>29202127
I've always felt the opposite. I shoot AR-style PGO shotguns a lot, including a SBS 8.5".
The only ammo that stings is 2oz 3" turkey magnum loads, no slug or buck in any amount goes near it. That load has recoil energy of a 458 Lott so shooting it one handed is an interesting experience and I do feel the good pain after a box of ten shells, unlike any other shotgun shell load.
A raptor/bird's head grip though? Fuck that in any load. I dislike it a lot.
