Post Bubbas
>>65376185>>65376228>>65376346I think the projects themselves are neat but I think most people object to the irreversible changes made to what look like a couple of Molot VEPRs and a rare Chinese Type-56 sks made for AK mags. In a world that wasn’t totally gay there would be so many of these guns it wouldn’t matter if someone did a project like this. Unfortunately we live in the Fagoverse.
>>65381429the third pic is a valmet. Even worse.
>>65377862That's honestly kind of nice, a bit ajgged on the edges, but not what I would call bubba'd.>>65378486Yea, that's more like it.
Bumping. Side note: finally fit my Saiga mag to my AK; not as hard as you think.
As much as we meme on the ridiculous designs, the Washington naval treaty did way more to help the signatories than harm.
>>65362792Germany wanted a dozen or so Bismarks.Then they moved the war forward because the painter couldn't hold it any longer.
>>65385717>so you are just resorting to "doesn't count" nowno, that's what you are resorting toyou're essentially saying "this is good, that is bad" without giving any reasons whyif I were to speak like you, I would just say>no you're wrong, Ark Royal is actually betterand refuse to elaborateI'm done talking to you, it's a waste of time
if bongs fought coral sea or midway instead of the us with their equivalent carriers they would have gotten their shit wrecked. this isn't even a "what if yamato and iowa fought" kind of thing where you can argue either way.
>>65385527>the 1930s one, R91 iircI'd expect it to be similar to the Hermes or Hosho if it was a ww1 design.>>65385717>(also true in every aspect) carriers than bongoliaIs flammability a boon?
>>65386720>I'd expect it to be similar to the Hermes or Hosho if it was a ww1 designyou'd think Glorious would look like Hosho too, but it doesn'tfor that matter, Hermes and Hosho also don't look alike
How come these kind of weapons never caught on in europe, and how effective were they?

>>65385032>asceticsascetic /ə-sĕt′ĭk/noun A person who renounces material comforts and leads a life of austere self-discipline, especially as an act of religious devotion. In the early church, one who devoted himself to a solitary and contemplative life, characterized by devotion, extreme self-denial, and self-mortification; a hermit; a recluse; hence, one who practices extreme rigor and self-denial in religious things. Similar: hermit recluse The science which treats of the practice of the theological and moral virtues, and the counsels of perfection.
>>65385029>>65385025Funny how chinese and europeans independently invented crescent blade halberds.
ICYMI, there are now turkshit SPAS clones for around $1,000https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRvydV9KXXQhttps://www.wistransfers.com/product/sheepdog-arms-sulun-spass-12-12ga-spas-12-clone-w-folding-stockwhat should they clone next?
>>65386141>you don't think paying $1500 for a potmetal turkslop lookalike? where's your heckin whimsy
>>65386141I like learning new things and having fun in the shop! I'm currently working on reverse engineering (I use that term lightly) the Innovative Arms adjustable gas AR15 upper receiver to create custom aperture valve bodies in order to repurpose the original two position suppressed/unsuppressed design as a two positions subsonic/supersonic (both suppressed) 300blk quick adjustment switch. But more to the point, treating a hobby as super srs bidness isn't mutually exclusive to "fun" nor "learning", in fact I would argue that by taking it seriously, as seriously as one can, you imbue the pursuit with meaning and challenge, and as such you actually maximize the "fun" and "learning". But I also hate fate dumb people so idk what to tell you. Anyway I hope that these turkshit roach SPASS 12 guns are reliable and well engineered enough to pass muster as being "real" firearms. I would be interested in chopping one down as short as possible (I think around 16.5"-17" or so barrel length), opening the gas ports if/as necessary for reliable semi auto function when shouldered for counter drone and combat duties (yes, for killing things, humans especially), and then letting it be a pump gun from the hip with the stock folded for breaching application.
>>65386163That's pretty dope, my buddy got a gas valve for his sig556 that was a modified multi port (instead of the two position factory) and it's great for trying different backpressure cans. I don't disagree with having a purpose being important for growth. I use a shot timer, I measure progress, I have dedicated "this WILL run when needed" guns, it's good to have quality tools. But the "you can't have fun for the sake of fun, ever, everything must serve a practical purpose" attitude that's driving gun culture is a cancer. We need more shit sticks and surplus gear fucking around, it's good for the soul. I have a chink 1897 and it's not a gun I'd trust but it's a gun I love because it's funand cool, it doesn't need to survive a range trip, I'll fix it at home after.It's like hating people for having a project car instead of a driveway full of daily drivers. Yeah the bimmer might leave me stranded outside town, but that's what friends are for. I hadn't considered the SPAS dual action being functionally useful for those roles, but wouldn't a benelli or something be a better choice? Even the OG was a clunky bitch that's 40 years outdated these days.>>65386160They're $1k, not $1.5, but yeah I'm not going to try and argue it's a "good deal" or anything. My point is that it's an airsoft gun for adults, stop taking it seriously.
>>65386501>modified multi portVery neat. One of my current soap boxes is that we push manufacturers and the market to produce more firearms and platforms with operating system energy adjustments on the gun itself. This is useful not only for ensuring reliable function with various suppressors, but it ought to allow us to actually use even high back pressure suppressor designs, maximizing at muzzle suppression. Not to mention having this adjustability is good for various ammunition types, ambient conditions (freezing, hot etc), and fouling. >driving gun culture>more shit sticksI disagree strongly. Current gun culture is chock full of literal Houston suburbs fatigue inducing low IQ "people" and wiggers as well buying up toys and blasters. There are FAR more shitsticks available today then ever before, and as a fraction of the total market, shitstick popularity has only grown. Most of gun culture at this point is absolutely orbiting around the reddit (and unfortunately now 4chan too) manchild philosophy of le heckin whimsy this is just for fun! 3gun and most of competition shooting, PRS also etc etc... I would argue the 1990s boomers had a better head on their shoulders in terms of the Militia and the actual 2nd Amendment (government tyranny) than most millennial gun consumers today. >chink 1897I had one. It broke. >having a project carCars are not guns at all. Next you're going to tell me that it is okay to require a license to own a firearm because we own licenses for cars?! Literal gun grabber analogy. Literally. >Benelli or something Here is where I have my "fun"Yes there are dual function Benellis that are more svelte and slimmer, but they don't look as cool and certainly aren't as much fun. I don't require 100% optimization from my guns; I like guns that look cool, that have fun historical vibes or aesthetics etc.. but they must still be actual guns. It isn't some continuous spectrum like tranny faggots will have you believe. Real guns are real.
>>65386525For a feature that's been standard on some firearms for half a century it's dismally rare on new products. The saiga/vepr shotguns would have benefited from a multi-port gas block.>I had one. It broke.Mine did too but I fixed it. Still love it, and I learned a ton about gunsmithing from a gun that I'm not worried about>Cars are not guns at all. Next you're going to tell me that it is okay to require a license to own a firearm Nah fuck it, niggers don't bother with the rules in either case and actual citizens don't need to be threatened to be decent people. There should be less regulation and more education. Also, I think it's a completely fair comparison. A car is a tool that you rely on, in many cases for your livelihood. Having an alternate car that's not practical or reliable because it's more fun is analogous to having guns purely because you like shouting action movie lines and lighting up paper. There's a lot of cheap shit guns that are also not interesting, true, but the culture is "you gotta take this seriously and justify that piece of shit to everyone." Which leads to people (retards) trying to make a bullpup 410 jam factory a fighting gun. Hey if that's your thing it's totally fair but the hate on others decisions is my hangup.This isn't bubba trayvon and shelly not knowing better, it's a deliberate purchase of a mediocre tool because it's more fun than an ideal option.

Earlier this month I went on a quick trip over to the UK. The main purpose was for me to visit RIAT 2025... which got cancelled due to the current geopolitical situation in general and the middle east in particular. Luckily London and thereabout had enough museums to keep me entertained anyway, so I'm not too bothered by it. I'm still able to form proximately coherent sentences if nothing else.Anyway, the first batch of photos have now been processed, and so we're off to the tank museum at Bovington, about three hours by train and foot from Waterloo station (those brits really are obsessed with ABBA...)Starting off at the very beginning, here's Little Willie, the very first prototype tank ever.
>>65380214Yeah the WW1 section is cool. It's amazing to see how far they were developed, with even a kind of proto-mechanised infantry being tested with some of the huge late war tanks.It does suck that you cant get really hands on with some of the tanks, but amongst other things, there are alot of kids around. It would be amazing if they had a few out that you could actually get inside to help appreciate them better.
>>65377131>Earlier this month I went on a quick trip over to the UK. The main purpose was for me to visit RIAT 2025>2025Huh?
>>65377713Reminder that Bovington thought the TOG II was equipped with a 17pdr but it was actually a 20pdr and they only admitted the mistake like last year or something.
>>65385472>It would be amazing if they had a few out that you could actually get inside to help appreciate them better.You do get to go on a hunchback trip through the Mark V** (up to the driver's position along the path seen in >>65377224 (You) and then back down the other side), but more wouldn't have hurt. Something more modern perhaps, letting people actually get into a turret. Oh well, there's a Leopard you get to climb into the turret of in Munster, and a full access MT-LB in the playground at Parola.>>653854822026, I've gotten old enough that it usually takes to about October for my mental calendar to update the year properly.>>65385486Well, given how long they went with the bright blue Caunter scheme... Overall they seemed to play along with commonly held notions a lot instead of going for the Mythbusting like the Germans in Munster.
>>65377265Doesnt really look like sniper armor. Looks like more stormtrooper (Sturmtruppen) armor. German snipers really didnt really wear armor outside of the same “stirmpanzer” helmet plates used by their machine gunners.
I am looking for this particular brand, not any other similar danglers.
>>65382708yes?
>>65382459No! I AM the dangler!
>>65382708>>65382616
>>65382616Exquisite.
>>65382616
If you had a legally owned machine gun, is it legal in any State to CC it? Are there extra considerations?Set aside practicality and retardedness, is it something you could legally do? Would it matter if it's a transferrable or post-sample?
>>65383731This is why I advocate Taurus Gc models as the ultimate carry guns. If you have to draw on someone in SD it is going to be so close that any pistol that functions reliably and shoots under 100 MOA will be fine.
>>65384158Thankfully I'm not that poor, but hey, there's a niche for Taurus above Hi-point and below the usual suspects.
>>65384109Yeah and the ATF field agent is going to ask why they are holding onto an item when the responsible person and paperwork shows its supposed to be somewhere else.>>65384155There have been a number of posts about it before over the years. The ATF gets really nervous about NFA items not being either with the owner or an FFL who has the ability to take possession of them. The ATF will literally send a field agent to collect it and then deposit it back where it is supposed to go (or to an FFL if it needs be by court order) rather than leave it in a police evidence locker where it can get lost. NFA Registered items get them very nervous.
>>65384535>>65383847it's like a soulbound item to them, lmao
>>65383362It just makes no sense. Full auto means collateral damage in almost any case you'll ever have to use it bar carrying it in the woods. If you have to mag dump a perp the prosecution will introduce you to the jury as "mag dump Jefferson"

Is this shell holder removable? I thought they were allen screws but they look like pins that have been pressed in. Do people actually use these? I find it gets in the way more than it is useful.
what if you take your pants off?
benelli or turknelli? show the other side of the gun.

>>65385076To be fair he has the Morgan when he says that line, so it shouldn't even be an Eagle.
>>65385122tell me why havent we financed a superplane like the morgan or the falken? even the f-22 raptor pales to those.

>>65385701Give me a German Wiesel tank with two 23 round APKWS II racks and a telescoping VAMPIRE radar on top. The guy in the driver's seat can handle the anti-drone targeting and reloading.
Will the advances in drone technology fundamentally change the nature of naval warfare beyond what standoff ranged missiles have? Will this be the death of Aircraft Carrier that we know and love today, the same as how the Battleship was made suboptimal in the face of dive and torpedo bombers? Will the seas be patrolled not by gigantic carrier fleets but by smaller and more modular flotillas and vessels? I am thinking more cost effective (inexpensive) drone carriers.Am I just fucking retarded though? I have a sneaking suspicion that I am too retarded and should just kms immediately and have been contemplating on that too so don't hesitate to let me know.
>>65384392Kys now. World will be a better place with you dead. Fucking loser
>>65384392no, drones will simply return us to 1940's era AAWThe biggest change will be the CIWS will get the CRAM ammunition. All these crazy expensive interceptor missiles exist because of other crazy expensive supersonic/ballistic missiles that travel too fast for bullets to intercept. But CIWS and 5 inch guns are more than adequate for the speeds drones are able to achieve. And a point for ww2 kamikaze planes over drones is that the planes were much more robust and NEEDED to be blown to smithereens or they'd just crash into the ship on inertia. Drones are not so robust. A 20mm CIWS with proximity fuse is more than enough. The Ford class carriers have a much larger amount of CIWS that previous carriers btw. It's the undersea threat we really need to think about.
The proliferation of ecm and impovements of conventional countermeasures will result in the total redundamcy of autonomous systems. Radars will be jammed, optics will be dazzled, computing chips fried by overcurrent. We will need to go back to aquire targets with our eyes, direct our aim by purely physical energy and rely on dumb munitions to bridge the gap between us and our enemies.AND YOU WILL LIKE IT
>>65385708This sounds like a good idea for China or Russia but US will not politically abide pilot deaths and airframe attrition. The Reapers that every liberal loathed anyway as a symbol of American imperialism are getting blown up on the ground causing a lot of embarrassment and political scrambling all the same. Also I think you're overestimating jamming abilities and underestimating the ability of AI to operate in EW denied airspace. I think the biggest unknown, which will stay secret for as long as possible, is how Space Force will deliver telemetry and strike authorization capabilities to swarm commanders.

>>65380467F-18 doesn't have the best performance but it's ergonomic for the pilot and easy on the maintenance crew. Think Corolla Hilux vs Ferrari/Lambo.
>>65366313Are you trying to imply Russians are more capable than Arabs
>>65384331Hornets are awesome. I don't understand the slander. Is it because they haven't really been tested in air-to-air combat much? Not their fault they don't have many challengers!
