Wood vs Synthetic shotgun furniture?
>>61647563Wood for style / display. Synthetic for anything else, I love my wood furniture for my 870 but I have it taken off so it can be preserved, and because I live far up north so I don't want it getting wrecked by the extreme freezing temperatures we get up here.So I just run polymer on it most of the time, I'm cringe though and run magpul furniture for my stock, fore-end and sling.
Wood is nice in terms of feel and color, but that shit cracks and wobbles. Synthetics, when decently made are the best for actual use. When I'm shooting trap and skeet, maybe going for a short rabbit walk, I'll bring the wood. But hunting and duty work its synthetic.
Wood looks so good. Makes me want to fondle the gun
>>61656076cracks and wobbles? a decent stock is a tight fit and can be used as a club.
>>61647568Wood warping on a shotgun really doesn't matter at all. What's it going to do? Change your POI? Don't think so.
Choose.
>>61658355You had a choice, and you chose wrong.
>>61655032mp40 but I want it in 300blk subsonic only
>>61658417
>>61655494Enough about your personal life, anon. We're talking about guns.
>>61655099Tankers were still being issued these even after nam right?
>mogs
>>61658437>2 second tank.There have been Russian tanks in Ukraine since 2014.
>>61655209>If abrams was designed in the 1950s
>>61654994>doesn't catastrophically explode but is still a write off tanktanks are a fucking meme
>>61654994Something about the leopard design makes it look cheap and thirdie
>>61656583Of course I want a genuine answer you wehraboo retard, how do you justify nearly 30 unprotected rounds? It's no better than the Russian carousel autoloaders. Abrams has 36 in its turret bustle and then 6 more in a hull compartment behind the Commander. ALL PROTECTED BY BLOW OUT PANELS.
What is the purpose of the bullpup?
>>61654832they use the hti also, but they'll use anything they got
>>61638644Short gun long barrel trigger bar
>>61638644Standard length barrel in a shorter rifle configuration. Better balanced and easier to handle than a conventional rifle but trigger pull tends to be worse due transfer bar and controls are not as "refined" (you could say) as an AR.Bullpup development hasn't advanced much since AR's have been the golden standard for a long time but there's definitely lots of potential
>>61654038And accuracy.
very nice to hold and aim, long barrel while keeping it relatively short (fits larger backpack, no need to use rifle bag), in case of my meme keltec - excellent supressor host, cheap as fuck even in pooland (paid around 1k250 for mine, keep in mind we pay 25% tax on almost everything and guns are expensive here anyway - acceptable-quality AR that isnt chinky costs 2.5k usd and up here ), and easy/fun to mod, eats any cheap ammo I feed it, and if i break anything it can be either replaced cheaply or i can buy another one.

>>61637990>No people will dieShitaloads of people die in these things. Theres videos where you see people thrown off fucking cliffs. The troops are such retarded subhumans that both sides have realized it's better neither have guns; not as a statement about peace or whatever but because they genuinely can't trust them with firearms loaded with live ammo. Also your alliance sucks assHonestly I'm chocked there's any actually white people that support fucking BRICS over european nations.>China and India both non-whites with one side being commies. Will literally murder each other at the border over petty arguments.>Russia a corrupt shithole full of alcoholic wifebeaters.

Rate the shooting
>>61659251Probably a random mugger, maybe a hitman? I vaguely recall the dude with the baseball hat being a cop of some kind and one of the local gangs having it out for him.
>>61659019wtf bro got hit in the fucking liver lol
>>61659019>uses gunkata to deflect the bullets in CQBtruely now I see
>>61659269can only be either a hit or personal grudge. either way, what a stupid place to do it in
>>61659287I dunno wtf was with the phone thrust, distracting him with shitting dicknipples before going for the kill?
should I spend $200 on an hour's worth of ammo or a blowjob?
>>61658944Strike that, reverse it.
Just jerk off and shoot guns in video games instead. Both is free
>>61658933>$200 blowjobOh nononononono
Is the blowjob bareback or condom? Also, that’s a bit steep for a blowjob. What’s her half hour sex rate? If it’s $200 or close to it then pick that. Every single man should romp with an escort once a month to maintain sanity
>>61659167>moldy used fleshlightDoesn't sound much worse than hepatitis and whatever else infested whore, honestly. At least you know what you're in for with potential lead poisoning.
It is still unbelievable to see the massive Soviet military stockpile get depleted.Everyone here, their fathers and their grandfathers have all their life known Russia to have a massive military arsenal. All of that almost century long accumulation result is now thrown into a wall in Eastern Ukraine, in just 2 years.
>>61658931What? What do you mean releasing videos of us castrating ukranians isn't good for optics? Are you crazy?t. NKVD.
>>61655335>2006>Nobody ever said Russian novelists lacked imagination. Or prescience.Being a self aware russian must be a special kind of hell
>>61658721I have no idea maybe a journalist should ask him
>>61659134I imagine it's like being an African American with 100 IQ
Normal person would look at the field of rusting war machines and feel relief as it's only a matter of time, when they will end their existence, never fulfilling the terrible purpose, as we managed to avoid any full scale confrontation in Europe.Zigger on the other hand will feel urgency as they're so little time to start a new war, so all this toys won't be wasted.We should have let Germans finish the job.

>>61655984Does it require you to constantly buy replacement nitrogen cartridges?
>>61658049Yes, not sure if they are refillable. But it gets like 50 shots from each. If someone makes a 25 cal nitrogun I might think about getting it.

>>61651140>you get what you pay forUntrue for knives, diminishing returns start at around 15 $ thanks to Mora.Fuck those titanium gimmicks for 300 $. Just look into some stuff from MAC Coltellerie, they make some very affordable Scuba stuff with decently hardened (very) stainless 1.4060 steel that actually holds an edge. Their serrations are pretty good as well, not Spyderco great but decent and the handles on their Aquatys series is extremely ergonomic.I got an Aquatys with a polished blade for 30 € and after a quick sharpening it cuts pretty much everything that I need it to and has an additional line cutter, a serrated section and a 'hammer'.MAC have a lot of stuff that looks decent to me, they seem like SeaMora.
>>61653793>>61651140Just realized that another anon already recommended a decent option from MAC.
>>61658620>diminishing returns start at around 15 $ thanks to Mora.lmao no. try about $100-120 or better yet take a fucking mora along as a dive knife and see how that goes>>61651140scuba divers are arrogant pricks that think they know shit from shinola when they know fuck and all, but they do appreciate quality gear. If they like it, it is probably extremely well suited to the task, but you have to weigh that against dropping a $300 tool into the ocean so examine the options. AFAIK the main quality difference in dive knives is the steel, cheap ones use actuall bad (not knife-nerd bad, objectively bad) steel for the blade, decent ones use OK steel like 420 or 440 and excellent ones use LC200N or Ti.as far as features go, I did EMT training and the built-in O2 wrench makes me and my gumball buddies very excited, I've got a cutter/breaker/wrench knife in my gear now and lots of EMTs and FRs are picking them up too.that thing looks like you can easily use it as a wrench without accidentally slicing yourself up but IDK, I don't dive
>>61658620Moras are good for green wood working, due to edge geometry, and not total trash heat treat, that's about it.If you try doing wood processing, or field dressing/skinning a large animal you're in for a chore.
>>61658920I was referring to knives from a very general POV. Also I'd bet that a Mora Companion Rescue F wit an added retention strap would make for a much better dive knife than most 'scuba knives' out there simply because it cuts, holds an edge and you don't need to worry about losing it.Titanium is a shitty blade material, worse than most steels (except for the most basic unhardened stainless steels like 304) because it can't hold an edge at all. LC200N is excellent stuff but expensive af.
Why don't modern/upcoming tanks have the ability to also function as artillery by allowing the gun elevation to be increased ? With an autoloading turret you could have mobile artillery and tank in one platform which is a Huge advantage for "scoot-and-shoot" style tactics. So far the only tank that seems to come close to it is the new French/German project with a 140mm cannon. They should develop 140mm artillery and have one magazine with artillery and the other with anti-tank rounds, including Barrel launched ATGM's, unless the tank has extra-external ATGM's instead. And at the very least, even if they don't want the jack-of-all-trades approach, the least they could do is have the chasis be modular and able to perform as either BattleTank/Artillery/engineering, just by swapping modulesAlso: If the new Abrams doesn't have an autoloader I'm gonna laugh. It's stupid to have a 4 man crew, when you could add another entire tank crew for every 3 loaders that aren't needed. Plus it reduces casualties by ensuring personnel dispersion is in as many seperate vehicled as possible What are your thoughts ?Also, tanks far from the front lines should have a towable reserve ammo "cart" that they can place close to their operating area instead of needing a designated vehicle to resupply them. Or at least a robotic automated resupply mule that can ferry ammo without needing to waste personnel that could be used elsewhere
>>61657174>here is your tank bruh
>>61656657>Why don't (thing that has been common for 80 years)Just saw an article yesterday about the US thinking about designing wheeled artillery that can shoot and scoot faster than HIMARS or Caesar.The real answer is you want your armor to focus on armor things and can afford to have dedicated artillery. Specialization is stronger.
>>61656721it's been a thing since WW2>>61656657>What are your thoughts ?you haven't the faintest conceptualisation of engineering issues, and you're like a child drawing a cartoon fantasy tank and asking "why not?" instead of going out there and reading up on the subject before opening your yammering cake-hole
>>61657021Yes. Cancelled in the early 2000s in favor of the VBCI based upon a Renault Trucks chassis. Kept being used as a testbed to try stuff, notably with that 120mm turret.>https://youtu.be/-SWyezLgSisAt some point during trials in the UAE they removed one of the front wheels and the thing didn't lose mobility even in sand lol.Crazy machine, sadly its suspension was a nightmare.

Can someone redpill me on the realities of nuclear capabilities of the USA, Russia, and other countries?Types of delivery systems, probable range and yield, realistic destructive potential estimates, most probable targets, reliability, etc. Also the possibility of survivability/recovery after a strike and the means of maximizing personal chances of survival.
>>61653971>source: trust me bro
>>61653641>range = irrelevant, everyone has enough range to hit wherever they want in enemy countryNot true. A slow icbm can be shot down. A nuke dropped on top of your head by a stealth bomber cannot.Usa clearly has massive advantages in choice how to deliver.
>>61654052>Is there any reasonable sort of shelter or evacuation program?I don’t think there is any civil defense program aside from air sirens and the government hijacking radio, tv, and sending out mobile alerts. With that said, my small city ~10k people, has a fallout shelter under the police station. I doubt it’s kept stocked with much, if anything, that isn’t expired. Really, as long as the nuke is an air-burst, which most would be, if you’re not killed in the immediate blast, not burnt by the flash, you’re fine. Fallout will only occur in ground-blast nukes, and even then, after 2 days the fallout is down by 90% and by 2 weeks, it’s down by 99.9%. Just get some iodine tablets and wash all food, especially if you’re going to eat food that has radioactive dust on it. Any dust mask will work to block radioactive fallout, which is just dust that’s been eradicated. A P100 mask is the very most you’d need if you can wait out the fallout for 2 days.
>>61659192What's the maximum (chronic) dosage of radiation one could safely take if one, say, doesn't care about dying from cancer by the time he's 60, but doesn't want to melt from ARS?

Do not post on the chink's thread.
>>61645188The thing is, they need a lot of workers - low-end workers, who would breed and produce more low-end or mid-end workers. Why? Tax money. Because taxes are needed for the increasingly aging population of whites who do not breed enough, and automation and technological progress got fucked by capilalists (because unless ordered to, capitalism actually does not assist or boost scientific progress - just conversion of that progress into market).Thats why there is such rampant immigration. And no politician will ever come into public and say "we have fucked up big-time and this is the reason we import people from 3rd-world countries that we ruined and plundered before".>>61645342That small calibre (.22?) rifle while doing marksmanship training in school (post-soviet country - we had that pre-army training class), so i was 15 years old.
