I thought the recoil reduction system was a meme, but shooting the USP .40 and G17 side by side shows the 9mm glock to have more recoil, even comparing defensive ammoI can't help but feel like 9mm got popular again because glocks aren't very practical in anything bigger
>>39501257I own both a G17 G5 and a USP .40 and they shoot the same. This was with 124gr 9mm ammo compared to 180gr ammo.
Recoil is multifaceted. The first element is the rearward shock that goes into your wrist and reverberates down your arm. Then there's the upward flip of the muzzle, twisting the gun's grip out of your fingers. Then there's how much recoil is divided into each factor, and WHEN each aspect of the recoil kicks in, which affects how much each element is noticed by the shooter. Glocks have a very linear and slowrecoil impulse compared to other guns. You can practically feel the slide slowing down as it reaches the rearmost of its travel. The fact that the recoil impulse is linear means it's easy to train for followups. The fact that it's slow means that the recoil impulse is distributed in time. Your hand gets a little bit of force, then a little bit more, then a little bit more. At no point in the process is the recoil impulse harsh. Glocks don't have much muzzle flip either, due to the angle of the grip angling the shooter's hand down for more leverage on the gun, as well as the low bore height over your hand. When the muzzle does flip, it's rather easy to get the sights back on target.The full size USP has a recoil impulse that is "two stage." The start of the recoil impulse is soft, due to the relatively weak recoil spring, allowing the slide to travel freely without pushing too hard against your hand. Then as the slide reaches the rearmost of its travel, it encounters the buffer spring, which is much stiffer than the recoil spring. This imparts a higher levelof force to your hand. The muzzle flips a bit more than a Glock, due to the more neutral grip angle and higher bore height over the hand. Due to the two stage recoil impulse, the sights are also disturbed in two stages. A shooter used to shooting a Glock or other linear-recoiling gun might have already begun the process of correcting for recoil by the time the muzzle's second, more forceful flip. The result is great for the recoil-shy, but less than ideal for experienced shooters.
>>39502686thanks for the run down
>>39500851>feel like 9mm got popular again because glocks aren't very practicalWhat does 9mm popularity have to do with Glock?Glock ushered in the polymer framed 'revolution' but that was about it. There were always plenty of 9mm guns before Glock came around.
>>39502778But Glock did it best.
Shotgun thread. How do i go about replacing the safety on this? It has a security screw so can tighten but not loosenThe replacement has its own screw so dont mind destroying the screw of needed
>>39502730
>>39502744
>>39502757That's a very special gun anon, take care of it.
Why do I never see these anywhere or ever hear about them? Are they way more expensive or are they not as reusable as the claim? I think they're really aesthetic. Are they just a meme? Does plastic have any advantage over these?
>>39502785It will definitely be babied but I do intend to shoot it from time to time. Emailed Remington looking for information on it last week, best they could tell me is that it was manufactured in 1953 and engraved in the customs shop. Certainly a rare gun, my great grandfather bought it new for $650 and the blue book is roughly $5,800 in 100% condition but one sold at auction a while back for $7,000. It will live in a safe and hopefully be insured soon, need to make that phone call.

How do current russian submarines stack up against british and american submarines?
>>39502323>I can already see diving depth issues alreadyDidn't the Akula have substantial amounts of titanium in the pressure hull?It's basically a newbuild Akula with a missile compartment added amidships,not a pre-existing sub cut in half and a new segment spliced in after the sail(although that's been done too: see the USS Parche's 30m hull extension)
>>39502409>All american can think of is cocks and how to suck themExpected of a brainwashed faggot from NATO.
>>39502484Well the thing is that splicing a new hull with bits and pieces of old materials rather than a purpose built splice introduces engineering issues with materials. That may prevent it from diving to its full test depth.
>>39502518The unfinished Alphas had been sitting in a factory since the early 90s:maybe not up-to-date on the equipment front, but structurally fineIf the new section is up to spec, the Borei should reach Alpha depths
>>39502673>If the new section is up to specThats they key word ifAgain the Russians have a tendency to throw bodies without care until the problem is eventually solved.
Why did this generation of S&W autoloaders fade into such obscurity?
>>39502490Too dope to live. that 5906 makes me want to cum
Because the market moved away from metal frames and hammers, I personally love 1st/2nd/3rd gen smith autos.Built like tanks and run like a raped ape if they aren't 50 year old rode hard beat to shit ex police guns, but even those are generally right as rain if you respring them.>>39502506Look at this zoomer
>>39502510Dont worry m8 I got it
>>39502717Berettas and Sigs don't have steel frames, 1911's are only still relevant because of cultural inertia and their prevalence in hte high end custom and competetive communities.People who want and shoot 1911's for work are usually people who use them a lot for recreation on their own time so they're super familiar with them, it's not that they're defacto better at anything from a service standpoint.
>>395028353rd gen s&w had aluminum models too
/k/ militia is forming up at the southern border to stop and horde of thousands of vermintide. What weapon do you bring?
>>39502779Nope, i was the one who originally used it, sorry buddy. I expected one or two memes. I got a flood. Pure NPC behavior. Bootlickers are so predictable.
>>39502736>>39502765>Shareblue/r*ddit bot calling others npc >>39502746/k/ has more of an understanding to law and politics than you and you just start calling everyone bootlickers after you were called out. so don't be surprised when acting like a faggot ends up with you being called one.
>>39502795>>Shareblue/r*ddit bot calling others npcwell when you respond with NPC behavior, it proves my point. Keep being predictable. Oh, and you are still a bootlicker for calling the fed. Always will be.
>>39502780Nah, i will just sit here and laugh while you go kill and die.
I'd start big and go down and see how many each shot got.

The CZ 75 compact PCR 9mm is the best kept industry secret. Once people really discover these the demand will surge. The problem is they are like fucking unicorns and are hard to find. One has to special order them online if when they come into the country. The PCR holds 14+1 rounds, light weight alloy frame, no frame safety, DA/SA with a decocker, superior sights than a glock, unquestionable reliability (no hangups after 2,000 rounds of range ammo, and it is hands down the most accurate compact 9mm I have ever shot out of the box. Can't fucking miss with the thing.
>>39502698czfags are worse than glockfags. Prove me wrong
>>39502146Years ago my first pistol was the 75B Compact (Not the PCR, the better all steel model) but I’ll stick with my P-07 now.

>>39502464>Is this a thread from 2010? I like mine but you're fooling yourself if you think they're the best. They were an absolute steal years ago because they were so cheap, but nowadays they're on par with every other compact sized 9mm on the market, both in terms of quality and price.People think that they are worth $900 because that's what some other high quality "all metal" pistols cost, like Colts, Sigs and Hi Powers. There are a lot of people who want to own guns and can afford a good handgun, but they don't want to buy a "tupperware" gun. I guess they attended one too many Tupperware parties and just hate everything made of polymer at all? >>39502776>Not to mention they aren't a secret at all, they just aren't stacked 20 deep on any given dealers shelfThat's a selling point for a lot of people. It’s contrarian in all the right ways.>from some obscure company in a shithole country>relatively reliable and arguably practical, but not exceptional enough in performance to dominate the market>inexpensive, but not cheap enough to become popular with minorities>steel or alloy frame, so basedboys can tell themselves they’re real men for carrying a gun with less recoil because it uses older materials>DA/SA, less popular nowadays so owners can feel special and contrarian>little representation in media and pop culture, meaning CZfags get to pretend to be really knowledgeable about guns around normalfags who can only ID Berettas and 1911s.
>>39502802>Unfortunately, the controls were just a tad out of my reach due to being cursed with short fingers, so I passed it up.That's how the gun is designed, you mongoloid. It's made with a 1911 manual of arms. You are SUPPOSED TO shift your grip to reach the slide catch and magazine release.

>>39502804>having a worldview that is literally built on memeslol
>>39502804I will assure you, my friend, while you will find a higher proportion of meat-eaters in the Marines, it's not gonna be all of them. Or even a majority desu. Peacetime means rough housing= bad rep= less budget, so you deal with a lot of dog and pony showing that is not fun. It's not what you think
So how will this affect the U.S. strategic arsenal and U.S. Nuclear policy? Does it even matter with our inability to acquire tritium to maintain current weapons systems.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/20/trump-us-nuclear-arms-treaty-russia
>>39493039Bring back TLAM-N?
>>39497157Were the Russians ever going to give them up and begin obeying the treaty that they signed?If so, how were we going to accomplish that?If not, how does the treaty do us any good?
>>39496112It's because it hits you right were it hurts npc
>>39502392>ICBM can only have one preset target
>>39502429That would have been one method of pressuring Russia to return to compliance, might have even forced the nuclear SLCM issue to the table. Having a few TLAM-N armed ships making port visits to NATO nations would have sent a strong message of both alliance cohesion and a political will to counter Russian moves without the monetary and politician expenditures required to field a permanent ground based system. Would have been a cheap and easy way of increasing pressure on Russia without demolishing the agreement and letting them start mass production of intermediate range systems.Instead alliance cohesion got hurt by the US withdrawing without consulting the Euros and no actual steps were taken to change the situation on the ground. Disappointing.

>>39500722It's really more for after workMy employer disallows firearms, but I'd like the option to carry after work should I have to stop off at the store on my way homeI'm not worried, necessarily, about my car being broken into or stolen since I live in a predominantly white areaI've been thinking about buying a Shield in .45, I was unsure of trading in my Shield 9 or just using that as a glovebox gun and EDC the .45
I shot my CCW today, a Ruger LCP. Probably been carrying same round in chamber for 2 years (rarely rechambering it)Shot it an sounded like a squib, did not cycle slide. Round did come out of barrel, hit target. I cleared weapon, checked to double check it wasn't a squib, reloaded, all the rest worked just fine.Anyone know what happened there? I'm thinking oil got into the round and lessened the charge or something?
>>39501950btw first round sounded like a .22 (real light) that's why I thought it was a squib, where rest sounded loud as hell as usual

What would happen in this alternative timeline the Japanese went about the war like this.>peform pearl harbor bombing as usual but have more planes than what was recorded back then and they are issued an order that once the bombs are dropped and ammo is depleted they must peform a kamikaze on any target that is judged to be a valuable target to any pilot's judgement view>they bomb hospitals, schools, civilian buildings and shoot down on civilian and soldiers alike while bombing the ships>japan focus on the navy power and focus on experimenting chemical and biological weapons on cqptured u.s. soldiers and other prisoners of war and all prisoners of war are killed and publicly shown to america and other asian nations alike.>nanking massacre, baatan march, unit 731 and so on are increased in their severity and effort ten times more this time without prisoner survivors.>complete barbaric strategies against the United States and other United States allies.>don't ever surrender not even to any nukes being dropped.If Japan was like this back then. What would the United States do to end the war with Japan?
>>39502685This or Op Downfall
>>39502666We would use any means necessary to remove the Japanese race from the nation and then use firebombing tactics to destroy all organic and plant life on their nation's land then bombard the entire nation with pure salt so that nothing ever grows in Japan ever again.That is how we would do it then.
people would finally accept the bombs were necessary
>>39502666Chemical weapons, early and often. Total war to exterminate the Japanese race. Read up on the plans for the invasion of mainland Japan, we were gonna gas the shit out of them.
>>39502666That first one would be pretty stupid, considering that those were their most highly-trained pilots.It was the loss of those pilots over the course of 1942 and 1943 that placed them in the position to consider suicide attacks. Doing that with your guys who can actually go toe-to-toe with the USN is just... stupid.

>>39502669No, I do fishing, hiking, and camping in the mountains regularly. Here's a pic from yesterday.You don't need 80lbs of garbage and you don't need heavy duty boots either. I use boots, but that's my personal preference.
>>39501993You get boots issued in the Military. 4 of these pairs have been worn out completely sense this picture was taken.
