Good evening gents I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday. Are you a black powder enjoyer? If so, what's your favorite smoke puffer? If not, why?
>>65100892Yes they went off on second attempt. And I cleared the holes with dental floss. 3 of them were barely open but now they all look similar. I also swapped the hammer spring and this one feels stronger. Im feeling hopeful.
>>65100979if they went off on second time that means they werent fully seated. you might have pusehd them as far as you could but maybe the shape doesnt fit your nipples so the first time the hammer falls on the cap it pushes it further splitting the sides of the metal a bit and compresing the top onto the head of the nipple. then the second hit of the hammer sets the cap off.try differnt cap brands or sizes or get different nipples. if you look at your nipples you will notice they are cone shaped. caps also have a slight angle to them. different nipples have different angles of the cone. my bet is your caps are too small, try the larger size caps or a different brand. remington #10s are a bit smaller than CCI #10 een though they are the same #10 szie th 2 brands differ in size slightly. what cap brand and size are you using?
>>65100979clearing the holes is not a thing you do just once. you do it every time before shooting. you should be cleaining the cylinder and removing the nipples to clean after shooting and putting into long term storage or youll get rust
>>65101028Theyre RWS 1075. Size and shape does seem to match nipples. Im hoping bit more violence with the caps, cleaned nipples(previous owner said he probably left some oil in nipple holes too) and stronger spring will help. I of course took the gun fully apart after shooting, cleaned it in warm soap water and oiled and greased it as I put it back together.
>>65101178yeah what you are desribing is normal in the cycle of use and maintenance. after cleaning the gun you will have oil everywhere and inevtitably some gets in the nipple holes. thats why when you go to the range before loading you run a cylinder or 2 of plain caps and dry fire them out to clear the flash holes before loading any powder or use a wire to do the same. i like to use a piece of old guitar string thats about the right size and one of those little dental flossing bottlebrush pick looking things for cleaning between teeth or under braces. the guitar string is good to punch through thick carbon fouling if it clogs the hole and the brush is good for getting the oil and shit out of the way if its a clean gun. what country are you in? see if you can find remington and CCI caps as well and try them all and see if one fits your nipples best.. personally i find the remingtons to be too tight on my piettas and uberties and the CCIs are just perfect. i also have one pistol with aftermarket cylinders from slixshot that fit the larger size 11 caps great. .
Lets say, hypothetically, that I am a very rich man who wishes to acquire a fighter jet for personal use, through the legal means.Could I just give a phone call or send an email to a Lockheed/Boeing/Sukhoi/SAAB/etc. representative and buy an aircraft directly with them?
>>65101444Actually, now that I think about it. The F-16 has an EPU that runs on hydrazine, which is a fucknasty devil’s brew. I don’t know if a decommissioned version would keep it, but if so it might be a royal pain in the ass to find someone who’s WILLING to work on one, even if there’s a few people who are able to.
>>65100883You can get civ subsonic jets (bigwig my dad used to work with owned a demilled mig17). Govs are pretty hesitant to allow civ ownership of anything that can boom
>>65100883You can only buy at best, last gen fighters that are retired from the military. Never anything brand new. Unfortunately for you, many of the 4th gen fighters are still in use (as updated models) even 20-50 years after they were introduced. So, manufacturers and governments won't allow you to buy even used F-16s or F/A-18s. At best you are looking at old 2-3rd gen fighters as third hand or more to buy.
>>65101775> governments won't allow you to buy even used F-16sThe listing is dead, but there was absolutely an F-16 for sale a couple years ago. I don’t know if it was ever revealed who bought it, but it was probably one of the REDFOR PMCs.Also, there’s at least two Su-27’s and a few MiG-29’s in private hands.
>>65101801In the US that is. Not sure about other countries.
>send in the next wavehow do you beat this strategy?
>>65101520why? shit's real. they had a live eagle there
>>65101580The static look of the bird conflicts with the rushing motion of the rest of the picture. Those men are charging forward through gunfire and there's a bird on a perch.
>>65101660How is it static? It's hunched and screeching.
>>65099843you are not wrong.
>>65101216>>65101456pickets do be jumpy. John S. Mosby mentions nearly being shot by friendly pickets while scouting and nearly shooting friendlies on his own pickets back when he was a line cavalry trooper on several occasions. He also got straight off the steamboat that delivered him in a prisoner exchange directly to Robert E. Lee to give critical intel. The day officer told him to fuck off and it was only an adjutant interceding that he was able to see Lee and tell him the critical info that Burnside wouldn't be reinforcing Little Mac.

>>65093151During the Lahad Datu incursion by Flip terrorists, Malaysia flew a whole battlion from West to East Malaysia by commercial low cost Airasia flights, presumably to save money on air fares. Not sure if we got scalped on the baggage fees though. There is an entire ocean between East and West Malaysia.
>>65101743>scalped on the baggage feesDon't look at how many government flights are charged as business class but are actually economy class
10,000 US troops are in the Philippines for the ‘biggest ever’ Philippine war games
>>65098459The point is that moving 10,000 troops anywhere and getting them to do anything is really hard to do under ideal circumstances, so the exercise gives your officers valuable experience moving people around.That's also why the military likes doing stadium flybys and large movie productions, even separate from the propaganda value.

Child combatants, child soldiers, has anyone dealt with them? Suicide bombers count.>The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have set an important precedent with the development of a doctrine to specifically address the unique challenges faced by military members confronted by child soldiers while deployed on operations.https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/news/2017/03/canadian_armed_forcessetsprecedentwithchildsoldierdoctrine.htmlFor anyone who has killed one, did your department or military give you training on this specific aspect or did you just have to apply normal rules to the situation? Do they cry "mommymommy" when they die?

Are there gun companies that are universally liked, the way some are hated? I don't mean "have a large and controversial cult following" but I mean like pretty much anyone with a gun thinks of them in favorable terms with no qualifications like "but they're overpriced" or "but I wouldn't want anyone to know I got one"What companies have unfairly gotten a bad rap?

So how much neck and/or upper back problems are these tacticool "the AR-15 and its derivates are not unergonomic at all, you just need to drop your head down" guys going to suffer when they are in their 60s or even younger?This can't possibly be healthy at all. The AR-15 was designed with a heel drop of essentially zero inches, which is fine and actually preferred for prone shooting, but is an ergonomic nightmare for standing shooting. I don't know how these guys tolerate shooting like this, or at least how they can in good faith defend the poor ergonomy.
