Do naval blockades matter when you have pipelines?

Everyone says get a Ruger or a Browning to learn because that's just how it is but I'm the kind of annoying retard who wants to know why. Is there a reason to spend an extra $300 on one of these meme guns to learn to shoot when you can get a Walther or a Glock for quite a bit less? I would think it's better to have something that physically feels like and has the approximate dimensions of the gun you're eventually going to get, no? And I've heard the trigger suck and they're not even that accurate so any advantage over a plastic gun is unclear.And btw yes I don't have a gun, wow you busted me, I am utterly humiliated now, my reputation is permanently destroyed how will I ever be able to emigrate to America and marry Pamela Anderson.
IMHO shooting a .22 makes perfect sense for beginners, but honestly there's no reason to limit yourself to Mk series or a Buckmark these days. That advice is decades old, and it comes from a time when there were few reliable .22 semis out there, and most of them were tiny pocket pistols that were challenging for a beginner to shoot. The Rugers and the Buckmark were (and still are) accurate, reliable, full-size pistols that are well suited to target shooting. IMHO there's nothing wrong with some other .22 like a Glock or a Walther for learning. Personally I think that the Ruger is a better gun for target shooting, no question it is more accurate, so I'd be willing to pay the extra for one but that's easy for me to say because I can afford it. The real point is that .22LR = cheap ammo = more shooting, and that with its low recoil you're less likely to develop bad habits. That applies to any .22 that's not an unreliable piece of junk or some niche pistol that's difficult to shoot. If you want a Glock or a revolver or whatever then that's just fine. I would look for something that's 'full size' or at least close to it. Tiny little pocket pistols are good for concealment but are a bitch to learn on.The advice about "get a shotgun for HD" is similarly dated. It came from a time when semi-auto rifles were rare and expensive while today ARs and the like are widely available and economical.
You sound really insecure. Buy whatever .22 you can get used for like $200 and go practice. Anything is better than wasting your time trying to shield your bruised ego with Borat references on 4chinz.
>>65070706I've found that any .22 pistols with a full slide is generally pretty picky. One thing noguns don't understand is the variance between brands of .22 ammo and how cheap stuff like thunderbolts will barely cycle a repeater without jamming every few rounds. Buckmarks and Rugers are known for eating anything you put in them and being accurate on top cause of the fixed barrel. So you not only get a nice practice pistol, but it can be a good target pistol as you improve. You'll never touch that 22 Glock after you start shooting the 9mm.
>>65070721>not going to be that Turkish olympic meme guy if that's what you mean. I watched an indian shooting coach video where he said you need to practice 40 hours a week to even be at a national levelThat's Bullseye shooting. You are watching a Bullseye shooter give advice on bullseye shooting and wondering why they are telling you to do Bullseye stuff. USPSA is putting two shots into multiple cardboard target arrays while moving (walking) as fast as you can through a course of fire.
>>65070741Cost is a concern otherwise I wouldn't even be considering a 22 but between 12 cents a round for the "good stuff" or 7 cents a round for the crap I don't think the good stuff is going to send me to the homeless shelter. But you're saying they are actually more accurate than a G44 or a P22 like in a way that I will appreciate even when I have a real gun (oh no he said 22 isn't a real gun someone send jaredAF after him!)

>>65070588That thing must be stupid overgassed because I shoot lefty and I get almost nothing at all with the velos. Are you using a gas busting charging handle?
>>65070628I've got a GMS-15 EVO-EDGE but my gun still squirts on me unfortunately
>>65070660Do you have an old mk18 before they stopped oversizing the gas port? Maybe get a PWS H4 buffer that might be enough.

Were bayonet charges seen as foolish by 1863?I get that it's a risky manoeuvre in any situation but they issued those things for years.
>>65069911By the 1850s the French and Austrians were using muzzle-loading rifles and trained companies could fire 3 rounds per minute out to around 700m, with enough accuracy to hit an enemy formation or column.This obviously required training for officers and NCOs to estimate ranges, for troops to set sights and correctly manage the reloading (which as you said was still more complicated than loading a smoothbore)
>>65069259>>65069506>aiming is a myth and 99% of soldiers shot their weapons into the skyS.L.A. Marshall's numbers have been confirmed utter ass-pulls for decades but pseuds love parroting them like they're fucking gospel
>>65069259nah they were trying to kill people. they just didnt aim all that much and generally just fired in the direction the enemy was at.
>>65070513you can go look at fatality rates. the average guy was not taking careful aim, they were generally poorly trained in terms of the actual number of live fire shots they shot per year and they were more focused on rate of fire than accurate fire.

>>65069412>Went to my state's largest gun show today, in hope for 1903a3 stockI swear it's easier to find a fucking unicorn than an A3 stock that isn't either sportizeried or overpriced to hell. That said I did pick up a G3 bipod for 80 dollarydoos and passed up a M65 jacket with liner for 30 (I came back for it later only to find out someone beat me to it, and congrats to that sob).
>>65069504>M65 jacket with liner for 30Yeah, that was a deal.
>>65069516To be fair it was labeled Medium and I have freakish long arms and knowing my luck it won't fit me. So there's no point of crying over imaginery spilled milk, plus I like Tropentarn jacket better as back of the truck jacket.Also I still think I made it out like a bandit with the bipod, and bonus to replace my original that doesn't work. (Literally one of the legs refuses to open and move despite cleaning and lubing).
>>65069541The bipod was a good deal, too. I have seen them for $300, which is outrageous.
Keep your hands full.

>>65070041nta but all cars made after ~1998 look the same to me, I couldn't tell a 2025 ferrari from a 2025 fiero. I'm pretty sure they're all made in the same factory by daimlerchryslerfiatfordmercedesgeely group anyway, all your hair splitting means nothingt. nocarz
>>65070041I know that is not a Ferrari, you assumptious ass. I merely have no frame of reference as to their handling. I know the chassis was innovative, but I also know it has a big heavy V8 riding in it.
>no retarded finger grooves>metal-lined magazines>pebble texture grips>no front serrationsi would like to see you prove me wrong.
>>65069940Then you're a fudanshi
>>65069940it's so fucking kino. I don't trust any other straight man who isn't at least somewhat susceptible to it's beauty the omori boys have kinda ruined all other anime boys for me. they're just too perfect

Boris Johnson actually spotted in the Zaporizhzhia frontline (no, it's not a joke). Russians were right about anglo saxons! What its his gear?

I watch a lot of youtubes where a guntuber tests a gun's accuracy by carefully shooting from a bench rest or a bipod. And they're always being extremely methodical about it. Loooong pauses between shots.I can understand why this would be necessary if you're standing up while shooting, or if you're shooting something that moves, but on a stationary target? What are they doing when it's on a bench rest? Waiting for the wind to stop?
>>65068414This is about the fifth time I have seen this clip and the first time I have noticed the MG3.
>>65070519If you're testing how it will perform while hunting then no.Anyway I've heard that apparently if you're shooting fast, like a 5 shot group the barrel and chamber heat up in such a way that the 5th shot does more damage than the first 3. So shooting while allowing the gun to cool makes for longer barrel life.
>>65070657Anyone have the old SVT nude meme?
>>65070601that's what OP was asking for. paul almost never gave numbers either and just pointed out which group was better or if he could cover a group with his hand>>65070637Paul did rifles and ammo too. 9 hole is specifically trying to shoot out to long range so he isn't really trying to get the gun to cool down so much as trying to get the crosshairs on the target because he's moving around while he's shooting. even with the rifle on a bag it's going to move a little when you breathe
>>65068341None of you simps are capable of discussing a topic. The most popular topics are always some whore part focus pic, and you simps come pouring in. The video production of most shooting videos is dog shit. Good point. Most YT videos are what most men despise. Content that creatures aare more focused about themselves in the videos than the subject matter of the video. Immediate gun action, focus on gun action is the meat of the video, and too much of the videos are disappointment like how porn used to focus on the guy's face. We'd all be like WTF get that gay shit off. Somehow social media, YT, has negotiated this. I' I had the cash, and studio to throw around I'd make a video in my handgun range time, and round that I shoot.
At the start of the Ukraine war there were a lot of anons here (majority maybe even) who claimed that drones are an afterthought.But now drones have:>completely stopped the Russian military advance>blockaded the strait of Hormuz against the US military will
>>65070600its his plan all along, someone has to buy the venezuelan oil
>>65070624>instead of needing advanced electronics and an entire factory to manufacture something good enough for the job.You need pretty advanced factories to produce these electronics (they are in USA though so America can't bomb them).
>>65070664Does china produce comparable electronics?
>>65070681They don't make anything in the same class as the FPGA. They make comparable chips to the rest, but in very small numbers. China's entire semiconductor industry combined would add up to be the fifth or sixth largest foundry in the world, they don't actually make many chips.
