I was thinking about how simple the basic AR design is, and it got me thinking - why did it take so long for the AR to be developed? I can go into my garage with the plans and probably fabricate an AR with some time and effort with only hand tools and a lathe - what stopped people like John Browning from doing the same? Were they simply not as intelligent as we are in the current day? The design is dead simple, no fancy electronics or any of that shit.
I don't get why we talk about these old timers like they're amazing for inventing obsolete/outdated weapons, when they were easily capable of making an AR-15 at their workshop back in the day. They just didn't seem to possess the requisite intelligence.
was no need for a .223 firing long gun in 1911
>>29157522
that's only because they didn't understand the concept of hydrostatic shock that the .223 possesses which makes it lethal
The technology behind materials and tooling has increased like crazy in a few years.
Why do they call this rifle the "Rolls Royce of Battle Rifles"?
>the Stgw.57 represented one of the finest and most expensive automatic rifles ever issued to any army in the world.Chambered for full power 7.5 x 55 GP11 ammunition, the Stgw.57 provides long range accurate shooting in semi-automatic mode, necessary for the typical Swiss mountain country, in combination with significant full auto firepower, thanks to its relatively heavy weight, integral bipod and a shrouded barrel.

Yeah I know, the video shows the AMT in 7.62, but it's basically the same thing as the Stgw 57.
because calling something
>the "company/model" of "X domain"
is retarded and people are retarded.
Also it was well built.
>>29157298
I like Swiss rifles but that shit looks like it came out MGSV
>>29157298
It's like a match grade G3 but a country was insane enough to make it standard issue.
I would say that's at least somewhat admirable.

Why is Japan able to turn the Burke class into a shipclass capable of operating rail guns and lasers, while the US Navy can't do that?

Make this thread when it's capable.
Alright you freaks, check out these pen holders. I call them "Mini Murder Cubes". They are made entirely from scrapped gun parts but will be welded to a piece of plate steel with soft pads on the bottom to prevent scratching your wood, hehe.
I wasn't involved in destroying these guns, I am just making the best of their shredded corpses the best I can.
You all can now have your own Mini-Mecca for your desk.
>>29156152
>pen holders made of cylinders
Dude, that's genius. Sell that shit.
>>29156152
I would buy this m8

So what happened to the Minnesota /k/ommandos who shot up a BLM gathering?
Don't wanna talk about it?
>>29155319
Nope.
Mister Metokur did a two hour video on it a few weeks ago.
gas masks /k/
what do you recommend?
there are so many options out there, and the science quickly gets hard to understand
there are isreali surplus (pic related) that were distributed when sadam was threatening chemical attacks on isreal, they come with old NATO NBC (bio-chem-nuclear) filters and are probably the cheapest masks on the market.
but they look awkward as fuck and I'm not sure about the filters effectiveness
there is also a sol of soviet bloc surplus, but the quality and reliability of it varies widely, many of the filters are mildly poisonous themselves and all the ones I've seen are heavy and cumbersome
upside is that they reduce the lifespan of cosplayers
there are modern industrial masks, tried and tested for a wide wide array of polutants and chemicals
m3 is perhaps the biggest supplier
prices are cheap, everything is reliable
for tear gas a half face mask and swimwear goggles are widely recommended
the only downside is that there are not really "general use" filters for OHS reasons, so you have to do some research on what you want to protect against
they also generally lack drinking tubes, which could be important if you are expecting TEOTWAWKI
also for consideration of survivalists is that you can't change the filter on some masks without exposing yourself to unfiltered air
since the lifespan of filters is rated at only a few hours in contaminated air, and often also limited breathing regular air this could be important
I strongly suspect that a lot of masks sold are just junk, sold because the manufacturers/retailers think nobody will ever actually use it
or some masks are simply issues to give confidence to troops or the populus
>What do you recommend
The realization that the overwhelming majority of chemical weapons are wicked contact poisons. A mask isn't going to do much past CS.
>>29155160
gas masks are made to be used as a temporary solution until you can find safety, plus they need to be put on BEFORE any event takes place. seems impractical imo
[spoiler]but i'd prefer an S10 NBC[/spoiler]
>>29155198
This. If you aren't equipped and TRAINED for use of full hazmat gear and decontamination, as well as chemical identification, you are wasting your money.
So /k/, this is in the Ottawa War Museum.
Anyone wanna tell me what kind if AK it is?
AKMS
>>29155038
but don't those have underfolding stocks?
>>29154910
some type of mix master akm
the pistol grip and top handguard are german
the stock is an egyptian crutch
unsure about the lower handguard but its kinda weird cause the majority of ones with that palmswell are laminate and thats not
Can any comparison be drawn when pitting Russian pilots against Western pilots?
Just how capable are pilots within the RuAF, is their training inferior to or on par with western air forces?
>>29154414
It's really hard to imagine Russian pilots getting the sort of realistic combat training that American pilots get at Red Flag events.
>>29154414
In my opinion, the best indication we have to compare Russian pilots to American ones is by looking at how they trained their respective puppet states, because there hasn't really been a situation pitting Russian pilots against American pilots (or really any enemy at all) since Korea.
Russian air doctrine was defensively oriented for most of the Cold War, so training tended to revolve around ground-controlled intercept. There appears to have been minimal air combat manuevering training, and generally pilots seemed very reliant on ground control. In the worst cases (Bekaa Valley 1982, for example), that meant the pilots were completely unprepared in the event that they had to operate independently. I'd expect that this has changed a bit given the longer range of the Flanker series and the pretty impressive avionics suite on the MiG-31, but I'm guessing that some element of the old defensive doctrine remains, especially with the current state of the VVS.
American doctrine, on the other hand, seems to emphasize more proactive use of air power and more independent operation. If you compare American fighters to Russian ones, they more often than not have a far higher range and payload than what would be considered their counterparts (take the F-5 and MiG-21, for example). While ground control is still a thing with American fighter doctrine, there's a bigger emphasis on independence, meaning that pilots are more flexible in how they can go about an intercept and far better prepared for en eventual engagement.
>>29154538
Basically this.
From what I read, first generation MiG-29 pilots were practically slaved to ground control.
Anybody have one? My buddy is trying to sell me his and I'd like to know what I should know about them. I'll probably end up buying it because he is asking like 500 bucks less than what it would be new but I'd like to know what I'm getting. Any opinions?
Anyone?
It's one of the best CZ-75 derivatives available. If you're paying under $800 and it appears to be in good condition you're getting a steal.
>>29153124
I think skeletor has/had one. He hangs around the AR general.
Would a Taurus Judge be capable of effectively breaching a room?
i.e Popping the lock and blowing out the hinges
It's possible. Might take two or more shots depending on the door.
I have my doubts about it considering the composition of breeching rounds to begin with. i dont see it working any better than a regular pistol and it would probably take a whole cylinder to weaken things enough to bust the hinges or anchor points..
sounds like a job for demolition ranch though
>>29149370
Yeah kinda thought the same, wasn't sure though
Merry xmas, /k/.

Has anyone got Pistol TAPS? Found this one by accident on KAT three days ago.
Either way, I expect to hear that you were found dead, OP.

Thanks OP, this shit is gold

You're a god amongst men, OP. If Pat finds out,a and finds you, I hope it's quick.
>yfw you see a post on any internet page from a "responsible gun owner" who is calling for gun control, but he says his guns are registered and that he thinks automatic assault weapons have no place in civilian hands
I mean if you are gunna fucking shill, at least look up the fact that gun registries aren't a thing
>>29171828
>gun registries aren't a thing
Except for Title 2 arms, California, Conneticut, DC, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and the various territories.
The majority of people are living in areas where some kind of firearm registry is in place.

Fucking commies man.
Next you'll tell me that I can't just go to the store and buy a few handguns all on a whim in some states.
When carrying a gun in your car if you keep it in your glove compartment where do you keep your license and registration?
>>29179146
in my glove department
>>29179146
Do you not keep your licence in your wallet and you wallet on your person?
>>29179154
What if the cop kills you cause he thinks you are reaching for your gun?
>>29179177
Yes my wallet with my license in it is in my pocket
Why does the US military only use single fire nowadays?
So people dont mag dump on one guy or when a bush moves because of a squirrel
>>29177306
Rapid semi-automatic fire is more effective with rifles to lay down effective suppressive fire. The rate of fire is still high, but the accuracy is better and it is more sustainable. Machineguns on full auto are heavier, supported, and beltfed which makes them better suited to rapid full auto bursts for suppression.
