What went wrong?
>>64707949There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the LAW12, it's just that it's not easy for a European company to compete with America's domestic shotgun market. Why buy the LAW12 when a Remington 1100 with a full length tube does the same thing for less?
>>64708001There was a pump-only gun in that family, the PA8, and it was also fine, but it also didn't do any better in the market because there's already Remington, Mossberg, and Ithaca around.
>>64708210My point exactly, it was just a case of a nice product that filled a role for a very short time before alternatives quickly took its place. The SPAS is fucking cool, don't get it twisted, I'd box a motherfucker for the chance just to shoot one, but it only really exists for a brief snapshot in history for a specific group of people
>>64708223*nicheGoddamn this Canadian beer is kicking my ass
>>64708223I wish someone made cosmetic stock and fore-end kits for existing popular shotguns on the market, which imitated the sexy SPAS12 aesthetic. Or maybe did their own take on it.I always figured that an aluminum heatshield with MLOK slots as vents would be an obvious approach, for instance.
So here is my glorious Century Arms AK after a fire and 4 years rusting in a scrap heap. A couple folks i know have been watching youtube and gotten into restoration, they are competing with each other to see what is the worst one they can fix. Well i'm gonna give it a try.As far as i can tell the lower and are fine, however all the sheet metal and most of everything else is unsalvageable. The plan is to whenever possible replace the irreparable components with items from a 'Asian parts kit' aka a Type 58. So what is my first step, put in a 5 gallon bucket of water, dump in some Borax and hook up a battery charger?
>>64707448Safety was up preventing me from pulling the bolt back all the way, status: Removed without damage but in dire need of heat treat.
It is better than i thought. Trigger group is salvageable, biggest hold up is that the solvent is taking it's time freeing up the rear guide of all things, it should just push out but it is frozen up solid like it was welded. Neat observation: Unless i am very much mistaken it looks like Century populated the barrels by brazing them then hammering in the pins, i'll take pictures in daylight with my potato phone tomorrow. It's soaking at the moment and i'll probably do 4-5 hours later with electrolysis. I *think* it *may* be able to fire with a new spring kit and heat treatment although without a new gas tube it will need to be manually cycled, that is fine for the bet i made. If i pull this off and get a Type 58 kit from the bet i'm justified in mirror polishing and chrome plating it right? There is a guy in town fucking around with laser engraving, i can even let /k/ write the dedication.Anyway let me leave you with a panoramic of yet another greenhouse complex, this one is on a mostly artificial island:
Why are your photos so fucking bad? It's 2016+10.
>>64703234That barrel is very likely fucked. You can probably salvage the front and rear trunnions, the bolt carrier group, fsp, gas block, and probably the dust cover. Depending on how bad this grainy ass picture is you can yank it all apart and toss the small parts in some evaporust and have a wall hanger. If it doesn't look like the underside of my chevy you can probably salvage everything here, but if the bore isn't chromed it's probably gone. I'd start there and take lots of pictures.
>>64703806where do i get AK mags in the white? those are porn.
Why did they killed it?
>>64707455They always made changes, they just never integrated them into the civilian model. NRCH was first made for the HAMR in 2009, buffer adapters were made for Belgian SOF like a decade ago, German cops got Mlok handguards. It makes sense desu, put in effort for the guaranteed bulk sales, because you dont want to be left holding the bag when people decide they dont actually want the new features you've retooled for.>>64707681The MRGG was a package, so it would have been everything in the case. The scope and can, several mags, probably a second barrel and ballistic computer; plus ongoing tech support.>>64708031>No one makes a modern battlerifle is almost assuredly their justification. Hate on the SCAR all ya want, but it was legitimately the only contender that you could get your hands on that was made this century.That was absolutely true in 2004, its not now. Aside from the SR25 which was unreliable, it was literally just cold war shit. Nowadays there are a bunch of scar clones, a couple of bullpups, plus various piston and DI AR10s.
>>64708063> eventhorizonbrainedThis sounds like a great insult, but could you please elaborate on what specifically it means? (I know what an event horizon is)>>64708031There is a huge market for intermediate chambered rifles. Aside from professional use, there’s the home defense market, hunting market, LARP market, range toy market, etc. but it seems the short action and larger market is relegated to just hunters. People who actually NEED their guns and NEED a 308 for practical reasons. The latter market is minuscule compared to the former, so that explains why there aren’t too many new battle rifles. That and obviously the militaries of the world have settled on assault rifles, so the civilian meta will reflect that. Plus, a 5.56 gun is always gonna be cheaper to feed than a 308.
>>64708111>Nowadays there are a bunch of scar clones, a couple of bullpups, plus various piston and DI AR10s.JUSTASGOOOOD. Also ARs are last century junk. Get with the times boomer
>>64704407Ain't that the truth. Holy fuck my old man is acting like the UN and the DNC will come knocking any day now for his guns and he needs more (mind you he has around 200 guns with about 1-5 rounds apiece). I love my old man to death but goddamn is he stupid, same with my brothers and step-brothers, so quick to fall for the memes. Thankfully I have at least one step-brother who's on my level and gets that it isn't the end of the world that glock released a new gen. Shame I only see him once a year, cool dude
>>64708147Your skull is the event horizon that separates light and matter from the black hole which exists where your brain should be.Case in point; my store stocks Q shit. It is genuinely shocking to the conscience to see the types of people that take out loans or cut into their rent money just to buy a honey badger.
Smartphone finger print sensors now work almost flawlessly, it only fails 0.001% of the time.Wouldn't be wise to make a gun that only the registered cop can shoot?This way the cop would never be afraid of having the gun stolen from him.A lot of cops die this way.It should have a tiny OLED display on the back that says gun unlocked/lock, and the current ammo of the clip.
>>64708089Wasn't that a plot point in the watchmen TV series or was it controlled by a central authority? Either way it was framed as an awful idea by leftists so if the anti-cop people think it's a bad idea maybe it's a shit idea
>>64708089Fuck cops and restrict them as much as possible unless they are policing minority areas. But also FUCK YOU because that shit will be pushed by antis if it gets implemented at all. Slippery slope fallacy be damned, lefties don't use logic.
>>64708192It’s not a fallacy if the slope is actually slippery
>>64708089you don't even need a fingerprint sensor. you could just have a bluetooth proximity sensor on the wrist and on the gun. but both need batteries which is another point of possible failure so it's not gonna happen.
>>64708089>it only fails 0.001% of the time.t. NEET who has never done work with his hands or gone outside
These movies don't even try to have internal consistency with their combat and power dynamics.Movie 1: Navi have superior genetics and bodies but 3 different battles demonstrate that the training and tech of humans gives them a massive advantage. In the final battle Navi get a decent surprise off but then start getting whooped, it's only when nature itself turns against the humans that the Navi win. Movie 2:Recoms now exist, with the the superior weapons and tactical training combined with navi genetic superiority they should be unstoppable.NoNeyteri goes angry mom mode and kills them even easier than she did normal humans in the last movie. Not one recom or normal human scores a kill in this entire movie outside quaritch killing jake's son.Movie 3:See movie 2James Cameron is a fucking idiot.
>>64706041no it didnt lmaoits an ai generated meme...shame navis dont have massive tits tho>>64704433hot i imagine the first humans to encounter na vi were raped by hot blue catgirls
>>64707177>if I were to write Avatar stuff I'd turn it into a fight between an AI born from human consumerism to enforce competition, versus a planet-wide synergistic bio-mind, and the final would have the two link and try to hack each other, Gaia sabotaging human tech to give Navi a mediatic winI pitched a crossover to Grok whereby the RDA subcontracts additional corporations to assist in a takeover after the first film: Cyberdyne Systems, Tetravaal, Weyland-Yutani, Omni-Consumer Products, and a few other smaller players (Tyrell-Wallace, Mitsubishi, etc.) adding Combat Jackets (from the 'won' Mimic War) and Matrix APUs to RDA's arsenal. Skynet’s Terminators help the human operatives and there's no ReCom bullshit.I did add the Tenctonese/Newcomers as alien allies for the humans ad well (they can operate in Pandora without breathers). It was an interesting outline.
>>64704422>bullpupNo shit they failed miserably.

>>64706556We used to call that cannibalization
>>64706562Yeah but in this case without all the Frankenstein shit.
>>64706570>Yeah but in this case without all the cool Frankenstein shitFtfy
>>64706518Patrias with our homemade turrets are better than all of the APC variants we have now, but that setup can't compare to a Boxer RCT30. Boxer is a more modern 10y younger platform. It's also heavier(Patria starts at 16t, Boxer at 24t). The previous government was on the right track with signing the contract for 45 Boxers.Also, I hope you're not that Slovene poster who stated that mounting a vanilla BOV-3 turret on Patria is a great idea in 2025, kek.
>>64706562Is it still cannibalization if the platform was literally designed with such module interchangeability in mind ?

>>64708145I'm still getting the hang of it; only started seriously drawing in the latter half of last year. Don't have one yet of the helmet on but here's a work in progress of her under-suit, beneath the armor.
Why isn't this gun more popular? The magazine makes it easier to carry in my opinion
>>64705096Looks heavy desu, though it does seem easier to conceal
>>64708114Fuck I didn't know other boards had this stupid "desu" thing
>>64705096The answer to your question is that the Norks went full retard with the idea, did it better and are cooler than Russia so now it is one of their things not yours. >>64708114>>64708120Anyone who does not acknowledge Rozen Maiden and the sexiness of doll joints is one step above being exterminated in my opinion, Desu.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk-kqnLrnd8

>>64708165Any proof of them working? Any vids of them being fired?
What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
>>64707344The Shadow ones are probably "the best". The Ruger seems pretty good, but if you just want a fuck-around gun to dremel on get a couple of PSA Daggers instead.Real shame they fucked Poly80 out of business, those frames were sturdy as fuck.
>>64707288The mos# were direct cut from the factory for specific optics
>>64706935As someone who loves glocks(but not a 'fanboy'), I hate/don't care about the gen 6 at all. New optic system isn't well thought out. The plates are plastic and don't have fences at the front and back to cushion the optic so it falls to aftermarket like FCD to fix the problem. The gas pedals are ugly, and unnecessary for me and most other shooters, really only a positive for competition guys trying to get the gun flat as possible for fast splits. Having the beaver tail be an integral part of the frame and not an add on option with a grip panel was a bad choice. I like the look and feel of the beavertail but it isn't necessary and others may not want it. I don't care about the new trigger shoe, it'll get swapped for something better anyway. And imagine the biggest complaint many people, not me though, had for glocks was how bulky they felt so glock decided to add palm swells to the grip. Idk what they are thinking. Trigger gaurd undercut is gay and retarded. People will talk about how it makes the gun feel so much better but they removed only a whopping like 1 or 2/16's of material, not enough to matter. Seems like they got caught up in trying to throw all the flat range youtuber things onto it and mark the price up $170. I think the only good change they did was go back to the single spring assembly of the gen 1-3 glocks. They also changed the extractor system and the barrel geometry I heard, either in a ben stoeger or mr gunsngear video. Concerned how that will, if at all, affect reliability.>tl;dr Not thrilled and I think it was overall a dumb move.

>>64707993Nice false-flag, triple nigger.
>>64707477On a tediously regular basis the DPRK uses routine personnel transfers or even vacations to get the RoK to announce that someone was purged or killed for disloyalty when all that happened is they were on vacation, at school, pregnant or just retired. After a while it seriously degrades your enemies creditability. In this case Ukraine took a page out of the Norks book: Claim that someone had fallen out of favor, let them be 'assassinated' then use it as a sting operation to humiliate their foes, uncover enemy networks and generally punk the foe.Damn good job.

Why aren't scoped handguns more popular?
>>64705649You’d think with it being out of vogue I’d be able to buy some of the animals used for a decent price… but it seems like they’ve all been had….
>>64704485because they are stupid and handguns don't need a scope to shoot at 50 yards and they don't need retarded red dots either and aside from that loose ballistic potency over 75 yards anyway in virtually all common handgun calibres
>>64707655more retarded faggotry from vidya retardsDid you learn to ride a horse playing skyrim faggot?
>>64706009>Game hunting with pistol is challenging.It's unethical and scumbag behavior. Use a real rifle to kill clean and stop being a cunt. IF you don;t have ethics when hunting don't tell yourself you are hunting, you're just another soulless urbanite faggot being a spastic

>>64708064they're easier to produce than one piece magwells since you need a really massive block to do one piece they're a real bitch if for whatever reason something is tweaking the magwell part so your pin won't want to go through. You can use the mainspring with and without the magwell. not having one doesn't make much sense in 2026 since most mags have massive basepads for the use of magwells.
>>64708127The MSH pin is annoying enough as is, I didn't think about that, I guess for rich guys the extra $70 is worth itI actually completely forgot my GI 7rd mags outnumber my wilson combat mags 5:1 so I should probably not even bother with a magwell anyway>>64708109No it's just a stinky parkerized serrated MSH with lanyard loop
>>64707510Maybe look into the PHLster Floodlight, or another similar holster that indexes off the light, rather than the gun.
>>64707356Arm your cat responsibly anon
>>64707604Some Tisas, probably. You don't get into "good" 1911s until Dan Wesson.
Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
Can someone help me identify this bayonet? It belonged to and was used by my grandfather during the Vietnam War. He was a marine and I can't figure out what it is exactly. It's got a button to release like an M6, but the button is small, the hilt is different, and the blade is longer. I thought it was an M14 Bayonet but it doesn't look quite right and my dad says that he used it on an M16. He was deployed in the late 60s.
>>64708151My M7 to compare it to.
>>64708151>>64708157that's a garand bayonet buddy
>>64708151That's the "M1" pattern version of the M1905 bayonet.it will mount on the M1 Garand and the M1903."U.F.H."= "Union Fork and Hoe", it should have a manufacture date on the other side of the ricasso.
>>64708200>>64708195They must have mixed up my grandpa's bayonet with someone else's. There were a few ww2 vets in the extended family and they didn't know the difference when they brought it to me. Thanks anons.
