If Earth was invaded by an alien force, and we could kill them, but it required anti-armor weaponry to kill a basic infantryman of theirs, would humanity have enough anti-armor weapons stockpiled to defend itself reasonably?

>>65101310It's both, because they also find some zentradi corpses, and that's what prompts the invention of the valkyries. U.N. needed something that could fight them man to man, but that could also get from place to place fast to make up for what it was assumed would be a massive numerical disadvantage on our part. A guess that turned out to be spot on, they just underestimated just how massive the disparity in numbers would be. Humanity only won SW1 because of Vritai defecting and bringing most of his fleet with him.
>>65074466The answer is not obviously, you can see usa missiles stockpile right now after bombing iran. During the iraq campaigne, missiles stocks were similarly depleted and it took years to restore to normal levels.
Trying to get a radar lock on to a modern stealth fighter with a modern electronic warfare package is an endless technological game of cat and mouse.So why not instead sidestep this completely and distribute thousands of IR + cameras around your land area networked together to give you the exact location of all enemy fighters in the area without any chance for jamming? You can also create a similar camera array in the ocean with small boat drones.

Is the CZ 457 chambered in 22lr the best rifle ever made and the only rifle you will need for 95% of realistic non-LARP purposes?Yes and yes.
>>65100006I love mine. Have a .17hmr barrel for it as well
It shits all over anything made in the US, that's for sure.I had one in a Boyd's at-one stock with a suppressor. It was fucking great. Creedmoor sports in Alabama sells Gehmann diopter that goes on the 11mm dovetail.The fact that they're in rimfire is the biggest drawback. I would absolutely do unspeakable things for that same gun in 5.7x28, or even 32 Magnum with a 10" barrel. This will never happen because CZ is now the john wick reddit race gun brand.

I'm a fud farmer.I hate the ar platform.I recently come into money.I can buy anything.I currently use a 12g regularly about once every other day, but I'm getting old.Guns are a tool to me.I will be using it as an all around tool. 9/10 shots I take are cull shots at about 6-12 inches out to a few feet.1/10 are predator defense culls but I live in the hills so the farthest shot I will ever take is 120-150yards, it will be rare and it will be mostly to scare rather than to kill (ring a bell in a field) if I miss it doesn't matter, I can just ring it again.I want it simple to clean and robust. Reliable with The world is what the world is and I want it to be ok for shtf. If I get lost in the woods or home defense and at least viable to take a deer, I take maybe 1 deer a year at opportunity.I raise mostly poultry with my biggest predator being coyote.I already own a 1022, several 12 gauges, a ar (I hate and don't use) and several hand guns, but I mostly carry a 22pr h and k sidekick snub nose.Comment too long.

>>65100965PSA JAKL is a good choice for someone like you honestly. Affordable but solid action, and quite reliable. Comes over-gassed as fuck from the factory so will likely run on any ammo you feed it (if you're remotely competent you can also adjust the gas yourself fwiw)
>>65100504>that's a 12 gauge shotgun made in turkeyThanks anon.>>65100852>Why is it scoped?Because scopes are aim-assist for the retarded.More aim = more kill = more deadly, dangerous and necessitating respect from ones' peersDo you think he owned that gun because he needed an ultra-compact form of self defence?That's a thug gun, in this case arguably a zigger gun.
>>65100830>Like can you noticeably feel that extra front weight?it depend on the construction, some are made with steel, cheap but heavy, other are used different metals that are better and lightweight but they cost more. i personnaly use B&T suppressors, compared to an other one i own that is made of steel there's a HUGE difference in weight compared to each others when they are attached.>Someone said sub sonic 30 30 and my ears peeled up. Do you know anything?subsonic 30-30 is alright, it's essentially the grandpa of the .308, don't bother with subsonic 556/223 for hunting game except rabbits and small critters, and don't fall for the meme subsonic 300WM or sub 338 lapua, it's like taking a formula 1 car to get your groceries, it's fucking retarded and useless.honestly i would avoid using subsonic ammo for any target further than 100 yd just because most subsonic rounds are not meant to travel long distances except those that were made for that purpose like .300 blackout or .458 socom.from what i see in your posts, if you are seriously looking into a semi auto that won't brainstorm you at the slight malfunction then consider an AK or a VZ rifle, they are meant to be simple in mind, the bolt work the same as the M1 garand but reversed, the piston is just a steel rod in a cylinder like for cars and on top of that i've litterally seen some in the same state as your AR and worked just as good like out of the box, just remember to put the safety back on so the dust and mud don't get in the gun (VZ won't care about that because it's a closed action).an other point, for Vz those made in .223 are apparently not that good and if you eventually pick a 7.62x39 rifle then get yourself soft point ammo instead of FMJ.If possible ask your gunshop if they rent firearms and try out what interrest then just pick what seems more suited to you.

Test loads edition.What are you reloading?
>>65100914>analysis paralysisYou and me both. I spend probably 30-45 minutes a day on GRT and spreadsheets seeing what .45 Super loads others have tried come up with. Most are above 28,000 PSI and some are above 37,000 PSI...Yeah like 28k for my USP and M&P and 34k-ish for my hot-rod LWA Glock seems safe to me at this point.
> buy an AR15> already reload for pistol and shotgun, so I bought a Lee 3 dies set for .223Rem> happily start depriming the first 50 cases batch> 20~ish cases done, bend the decapping pin over a berdan primed brass case without military headstampsFML to be honest, senpaiSpeaking of which, I HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE!! 1- Never reloaded bottlenecked rifle. Is case trim a necessity for an AR? 2- How to safely clean the brass? I do clean pistol brass with wet stainless pin tumbling, but I can see easily inside them. Those small mouthed .223 have me in fear of forgetting some steel pins inside. Should I use another cleaning method? THANKS
>>65101231>bend the decapping pinThat is truly terrible, but the collet that holds the decapping pin should be loose enough that it slides up if it hits too much resistance. Make sure to adjust it carefully when you get your replacement part.>Is case trim a necessity for an AR? I am sure it is at some point, but it USUALLY doesn't become an issue until after a lest a few resizings.>forgetting some steel pins inside.They should just fall out when turned upside-down once they are dry. If you are super concerned, get a really strong magnet. It doesn't even have to be that big. Just strong enough to attract the pin through the case and run every case past it.Do you have a problem with the cases tarnishing a bit when drying? Mine take on a little color by the time they are dry no matter what I do.
>>65101268>should be loose enoughI bought the set factory new and got shipped here (live overseas). Read the instructions leaflet and it states, quoting: "The decapper is retained by a collet. Should it be overstressed by an obstruction it simply slides up without damage". So i just installed the die in the press and started decapping. After that, I had to loosen the collet but it was HARD AS FUCK to loosen. Had to carefully use large spanners and it got loose, then I straighten the pin and got back on track but I'll buy spares. I "reset" everything and also greased the collet and pin, just in case. I don't know if that was overtightened at the factory, I never used Lee before.>>65101268>tarnishing a bit when drying?My routine is to dry them and then store cases in containers, of course they don't keep that blingy gold shine forever but they look like factory new ammunition once loaded. But checking them with a magnet one by one can be a real hassle, I was thinking to switch back to dry tumbling or whatever, nevermind the worse finish but I really don't like the idea of shooting steel pieces inside my barrels.

>>65101022Thanks, I have a smaller blade that will be my first training attempt. I’m going to try to cut the pieces with a drill hole saw.
>>65101022>Bolsters is somehow always my least favorite part on bladesIt commonly is.If my tang was lets say, 4mm i drill 3mm and finish it with needle files.Oh and, those cheap small needlefiles fucking SUUUUUUUUUUCK they lose performance fast as the cutting grooves get filled with brass/steel and not all cutting surface is even doing any work because the depth of the grooves is off.I bought good swiss files and the difference is, alot...Oh and you can make your work much much faster if you "counter drill" the side opposite to the blade with a larger drill bit so if your bolster is 4mm thick, counterdrill it so that where tang transfers to blade theres just 1-2mm of material to file through. This however has a drawback, if you do this and you file your hole too large you no longer can force the hole to be smaller with a ball peen hammer as the material caves in and you can no longer sand it flat.One technique i use today is pressing it in.Counter drill, put the bolster in and put it into a press where the blade it held firmly and all pressure is on the bolster, in such a way that the brass gets pressed tight and deforms around the tang without bending the bolster.I have one that uses a small 2 ton car jack.Its not a method that i can do in one press.I do it in maybe 3 or 4 steps, each time i press the bolster around the tang i take note where there is most resistance and i remove material there. This way you can get a bolster that is hair tight and gives off a "SNAP" when you start to assemble the handle by hand.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Someone once told me a glock 19 was snappy. Im a wristlet lanklet and i shot a glock 23 gen 3 for years and wouldnt call that snappy, whats up with people do they have arthritis or something?
>>65100963Yes.
>>65100963maybe they meant a glock 20. ive never really enjoyed 40
Is this a second rate engagement post?One can even feel the difference between an aluminum and steel frame M1911. So anything plastic framed is going to be snappy.
>>65101255i've shot plastic, aluminum and steel 45s. they all felt the same in the way they chuCHUNK back into battery. a strong push of varying intensity but not snappy to me. 9mm feels nice no matter what the frame. 40 feels snappy even in my sister in laws p90.

>>65100590Yeah probably, I'm only really familiar with ITAR through my own experience. As well as just general international arms trading laws.I'm only partially familiar with the legal side of ITAR, that's why I can't say for sure if his stuff is/isn't ITAR. I just know that people selling it will think it is. My knowledge really ends at "if the US Gov paid for it in some way it's probably ITAR", which is why the FAL furniture pissed me off so much, since it was not made in the USA nor paid for by the USA it *should* fall outside the realm of ITAR (at least that's what my training broadly said at the time).>>65100642You are welcome muchacho, I hope they get much use coz they sure as shit wouldn't here.
>>65100778>ITARthere's two things in the united states. ITAR and EAR.ITAR regards any firearms parts that is also used for military, EAR is the same kind but for commercial parts, for exemple you may purchase a PMAG from magpul and they will block because of ITAR, then you decide to get their AK furniture instead and they block it because of EAR.the only parts you can get from the US without them being blocked by the customs are springs and pins, anything else than look like it would belong on a firearm will be blocked by custom due to ITAR/EAR.btw this is all because the argentinians tried to sell F-16 to Pakistan or Iran while King nigger was in charge of the USA.
>>65100794>the only parts you can get from the US without them being blocked by the customs are springs and pins, anything else than look like it would belong on a firearm will be blocked by custom due to ITAR/EAR.My friend did order and receive a FAL trigger group straight from Jard thoughI think there's a limit for the value of the item you're buying ($100 or thereabouts) so you can't buy an F16
>>65100794Itar is much more than just firearms. TSA almost stole my thermal camera when I was returning to the EU from the US.
So Blackout is a very fat 5.56 necked up to straight wall the cartridge, also happens to be a 30 caliber.Is there an equivalent of 7.62x39, where they fatten up the bullet?
>>65097128>How is this a matter of cartridge dimensions and not simply load?We don't have infinite flexibility in useful material density. You can't seat a bullet to an unlimited depth in a given cartridge, that too is part of the design. The specifications for a cartridge via SAAMI or whatever and in turn mags, chamber and all the rest that goes into a firearm system means that there's only so long/heavy you can get any given round even within spec. Let alone in useful practice, because major changes will also affect other aspects of the system like what twist rate you need to achieve stable flight.So for 5.56 subsonic just really isn't practical. But I want to emphasize this comes up in general not just subs/supers though that case emphasizes it since they're wildly different regimes, but like there are now super high BC 30cal and other size precision bullets you can get that you cannot fit into spec 300win mag for example. You either need to go out of spec or go to something like 300PRC, which has enough COAL to handle that (and obviously you have to make sure the rest of your gun including mags can do that in turn or else run totally manual). Particularly with older cartridge designs a lot of them just didn't have this in mind, which is perfectly understandable, why should the military or whomever in the 1960s or 70s have given a shit what a civilian with a suppressed sbr in 2026 would want? They'd have said "if you need something different just design/modify a new cartridge for that".
>>65096779>The velocity being equal the heavier pill will have slightly lesser drop because it will retain it's initial velocity a bit better>The velocity being equal...That is correct (I would never say otherwise); heavier bullets have better momentum. However, you're not taking into consideration that velocity in this case is not equal. If one is shooting .300 BLK or 7.62x39mm, the supersonic 110-123 grain ammo is going much faster than the subsonic 200-230 grain ammo.
>>65090889>Until it comes to penetrating barriers, or killing at distanceThats what machine guns are for. Riflemen from every nation all carry SCHV these days because it's optimum for what an infantry riflemen actually does.
>>65090889>>650952345.56 lead core will penetrate the same amount of steel as x39 AP.
>>65101192This isn't the case, because otherwise you'd see a lot of steel plates with 7.63x39 BZ API or HSC or 7N23 ratings and they usually never rate above 7.62x39 MSC.M193 is capable against steel, sure, but only on account of its speed. Besides, who uses steel plates other than fudds and desperados? Talk ceramics and 7.62x39 has an edge.
