>>64757038Sick
Anyone here with one of these comps? Recently got a 92 and I want one. Price is a kinda high though
>>64757091>Glock 17 Gen 3Bit of a big ass EDC, but I'm assuming you live in an area that forces you to wear a coat for a good chunk of the year>135 GrainOdd choice, personally I stick to either 115 or 124 grain since it's what I shoot normally as FMJs>Rotate based on the seasonsNot necessarily, since there are no seasons where I live, my rotation is more situation dependent and the guns I usually carry or take with me would have to fit into my cars center compartment, which unfortunately means anything bigger than my Glock 26 Gen 3 wont fit.Bleh.Speaking of which, I tend to rotate around the S&W Shield Plus, 638, Glock 26 Gen 5, and the P365.The Shield Plus and G26 are guns that I prefer to holster but do have pocket holstersThe 638 is a gun I exclusively pocket carry but I have thought about getting a proper IWB holster for itAnd finally the P365 is a gun that I do both with, and it's actually great.And I may add the PPK into the mix but that needs more shooting.And on occasion I carry my G19 Gen 5 or 686.Needless to say, I am not a rich man
>>64757138No I dont own any Gen 3s thats an error
>20 years ago>People constantly felate the F22, claiming its the plane version of jesus.>Constantly disparage the F35 saying its a an expensive boondongle that can't fight and is shit and is worse in every way to the f22 and they should have just made more f22s instead of axing the program>Today>People lament that the f22 is underutilized as it never gets any engagements>Still question the value of F35 despite its multiple successes in infiltrating enemy held airspace and leading ground attack missions in heavily defended adversary airspace.Its time you admit that F35 is the superior aircraft.
>>64756083AIM-260 is the same size as AIM-120. Are you thinking of AIM-174B?
>>64755842>never a need for either.China built a scary interceptor so we have to overmatch them an order of magnitude over. That just how things are.
>>64754288I'm actually a contract specialist for them lmao

>>64754467Fuck off cunt with that stupid pasta SG bros are based just like the f35
Do you guys think actual dogfighting will ever come back? What technology/weapon developments would be necessary for this to happen?
>>64755900I put my wingman in four mile trail as we began the next engagement from 41,000 feet at 1.2 MACH racing down to their altitude of 18,000 feet, dumb a - - he didn’t even change his altitude to make it harder on us. Since they had face heaters (firing heat seekers in our face), we cooled our jets by retarding the engines to idle power to cool them off and denying the face shot while maintaining supersonic on our downhill slide. They took the bait, the leader rolled out behind me, the wingman behind mine. We had them right where we wanted them! Not even an F-16 can sustain a climb followed by a 9 G turn and roll out 2 miles behind a supersonic target and chase them down so the missile will make the kill. The leader found himself in front of my wingman who easily “Doe popped” him with two missiles while outrunning the F-16 wingman.Score: Darts 1, Vipers 0After a fuel check we split for 1v1 BFM. Starting from line abreast each fighter turns 45 degrees away from the other to gain spacing. At the fight’s on call the fighters turn toward each other passing canopy to canopy with no advantage. The knife fight begins in earnest as they turn to gain six o’clock on the other for a guns kill. Hands are helpful in explaining what happens next. Obviously the Viper can out turn a Dart and the LTC was behind me closing for guns! My next maneuver required exact timing or it would turn out all bad. As he closed for the shot I presented him with the infamous “F-106 Barn Door”. This is a frightening experience for anyone who has never seen the Dart act in such an unbelievable aerodynamic manner. Never attempt this maneuver at home as it should only be done by a highly trained and experienced Dart driver!
With him captured solidly at my six, in a hard four G turn, closing for the kill, fangs out and dripping, I held the G while applying full opposite rudder. The Dart responds beautifully with an opposite direction roll through the vertical to a full nose down dive where I apply full afterburner and dash for the deck. From the Viper’s cockpit it looked just like someone opened a barn door in his face, nowhere to go and no idea what to do. Suddenly the Dart disappears. His only option was to call nock-it off because he lost sight having never squeezed the trigger. Meanwhile our wingman had to nock-it off because the LT was low on fuel.Score: Darts 0, Vipers 0I sent the Vipers home and my wingman and I played for a while. My debriefing was short and sweet. The Fighter pilots had to fly again to get some real training. It went something like this: Know your enemy. Never underestimate your enemy. Never enter a gun fight with a knife. Never engage an enemy when you don’t have a clue. Lose sight lose the fight. Pecker checkers should be well endowed. When the Genie pops up, you’re goanna die! Nothing was ever said about the moons, I believe we “communicated” effectively!Final Score: Darts 3, Vipers 0 America remained safe from attack!!S. Michael Townsend, LTC, USAF Ret. “Viper 1, Pierre, Bucko, Genie, FMO, Rafsob”Honestly? Getting owned by 2 falcons while carrying AIM-9L's in an F-16 is more humiliating than the genie kill.
>>64754198>Do you guys think actual dogfighting will ever come back?Yes, inevitably.BVR combat is only possible in a world where at least one side doesn't employ stealth aircraft. In a conflict where stealth aircraft are the norm, detection ranges will shrink dramatically, bringing back chance WVR encounters.This, in turn, will lead to a 1:1 exchange ratio regardless of pilot training and aircraft sophistication, simply as a result of IR missiles and the random chance of who spots who first.This exchange ratio will then be deemed unacceptable, especially by Western nations with their high costs. The solution to this problem will be anti-rocket rockets, which leaves dogfights with guns as the only remaining means for an airplane to shoot down another airplane.All these developments will already unfold in the coming generation of aircraft (F47, FAXX, GCAP, FCAS, the Chinese stuff, etc), which means it will be a mistake to not design them for high g and post stall maneuverability.
>>64754995Yea, and if he manages to get past the ADN of the carrier's fleet, CAP, and all your buddies who are already rearming on the ship and can scramble to meet him, it'll only be because either you were so hopelessly out matched that it didn't matter what you did, or a local retard got too close and refused to disengage so there was the risk of friendly fire that prevented all those systems from stopping him and the entire command felt too bad about accidentally killing someone with clear brain damage alongside the enemy to stop him.
>>64754202>Make it so radar just can't pick up planes anymoreAt that point even getting withing visual range would be down to luck, and the sky is massive.
why didn't the vector catch on?
>>64756568>yuro >writing gay fan ficmany such cases. what a gay country
>>64754870>>64754889>>64754933You're all retarded, I say this as the biggest hater of the Kriss Vector for being gimmicky oversized nonsense achieving the stated aim in the most ridiculous way possible, the only way that the gun would work (or rather, not work) the way you are describing is if the bolt was constant recoil like the ultimax. But it isn't, it bottoms out at the end of travel and impacts the bottom of the gun which *will* pull the muzzle down. Which is the whole reason it jumps up and down in the hands.
>>647565941) in this animation (>>64754920), the yellow thing connected to the bolt does not bottom out.2) the yellow vertical-moving piece isn’t even necessary. Think of how far back a pistol slide has to cycle. It’s only like 1.5 COALs. For 45acp this is like 1.8”. Not only is the vertical moving component a meme, it doesn’t even make the gun’s action any shorter.Even if the vertical component did bottom out, there is minimal vertical distance between the bore axis and the center of the stock, so a gun of conventional design wouldn’t have any muzzle flip for the fancy flip reduction mechanism to eliminate.Is there a physics anon who can confirm if the downward-moving bolt bottoming out would change felt recoil characteristics? My gut says it doesn’t, that it merely counteracts equally the upward movement of the gun and the shooter feels no difference.
>>64756645>it merely counteracts equally the upward movement of the gunThat's the entire point.
>>64756918Sorry. the *additional* upward movement of the gun imparted onto it by the camming action of the yellow piece.
Writefag here, I’m looking for real “out there” firearms that are advanced looking but not too impractical for my sci-fi setting.
>>64756879>Why didn't I remember this one? The Maxim is a great addition to a sci-fi list, and we'd definitely see more integrally suppressed firearms if they weren't so heavily restricted here in the US, where half of the world's firearms reside.That's actually one of the (very few) things I'm having some new optimism for in 2026+ for guns. Form 4s are now easy, fast and (at long last) free. It'd be better still if suppressors were 100% unregulated as they should be, but no more $200 floor price, no more 8 month wait, that's still a very very big improvement.So I hope that causes some integral designs to start coming back onto market again. Integral makes the most sense in a handgun, the advantages it brings in terms of geometry flexibility and compactness matter the most and the disadvantages the least. But I totally understand why most people didn't want to deal with the F4 shitZZZzzzZZzzzzZshow and big tax and thus the market failing. Now maybe that'll slowly change.
>>64754501May I interest you in a 15.2mm man-portable APFSDS rifle?
>>64757022Nice, that thing is super cool. And if the setting has cyborgs or genetically enhanced humans or something the 40 lbs weight might actually be fireable from the shoulder or something, though it's single shot with no mag.
>>64756893>fantasy Are you fucking retarded?
>>64757101NTA but no, he isn't. You are writing science fantasy not science fiction. Science fiction is where you take a piece of plausible but unproven and possibly incorrect science or technology and then write a story exploring the effects it would have on how things are done, what form soviety takes etc. Science fantasy is where you do the opposite and fantasize into existence a setting, then weakly grasp around for conditions that make your fantasy setting seem plausible to you.The fact that you come to an anonymous imageboard for the "science" part of your setting is pretty telling of the fact that your object is fantasy and any exploration of science and technology is completely incidental.
Talk about the gen 6 glock.
>>64757026That's what you say about every generation.
>>64756988Crap gun. The Colt 1911 in .45 ACP is better in every way. It's just a dumb plastic gun made to get through metal detectors undetected like some nigger. Also the .40 S&W models explode when you shoot them.The 1911 single action trigger is way better than that stupid ass flap trigger thing on the Glock.Glock is so gay they even made a .45 Glock to be like the 1911, is still fucking fails of course.Glocks are gay plastic bullshit designed for ass insertions.

Starting with this piece of shit. Any gun that gets a cracked frame within 20,000 rounds is an irredeemable hunk of absolute dogshit. That isn’t even a high round count for 9mm. Glock runs circles around beretta.
>>64756609Just buy a spare one. Unless you really think you need to change it. The locking block kit is available from Beretta for like 35 bucks, so it’s not expensive. If you wanna change it out, go ahead, but I’d definitely keep one handy regardless just in case since they’re so inexpensive.
>>64756609do it now or wait till it breaks. you dont know how many rounds it has through it. either you assume the worst or you say fuck it and let it ride.if its a carry gun that you have to count on its always a good idea to replace everyspring and possible breakage point in a used gun. if its a range toy who cares. if something breaks you go home order replacements and wait a few weeks no big deal.
>>64756806Literally yes you retarded noguns niggers

The premise is simple:Could the DPRK launch a offensive war with the goal of seizing Russia's Pacific holdings and win?
>>64751599>The question of this thread is could Russia stop the DPRK from taking the Russian Pacific Coast in a situation of open warfare? Does Russia have the means to stop the DPRK in conventional combat?Truth be told... no. But there's no incentive for NK to do that.

be me no guns in ny browsing for high power diodes at 8pmstumble upon this monstrosity "KX260 DIY Laser Cannon"claims 260 WATTS of optical powerfor reference a fucking 1W laser blinds you, and a 6W Sanwu burns wood instantlythis thing claims to be 260Wthat is literally a quarter of a microwave oven concentrated into a beam"Range: 50m" (probably the range at which it instantly ignites clothing and coons)"Battery life: 5 years" (nuclear diamond battery? or just lies?)"Fast charging" for when you need to melt a tank column at 8 AM and be home by noon.Is this actually real? The specs imply this is an industrial rust cleaning laser repacked into a handheld "cannon." If the 260W rating is even 10% legitimate, this is not a mere laser pointer, it's a war crime with a handle and possibly the most fucked up thing I can legally point at some mans eyes.Also I get ads for it on instagram 24/7. Should I buy it?
>>64756728I guess with the proliferation of fiber optically controlled drones they can afford to sell some of their nig-rigged jammers for scrap.
>>64755348Which one of you idiots put it in their cart? Do you have a way to generate 2MW of power, and step it up to 47kv?Are you retarded? Can I have your 5000 dollars?

>>64756752>Can I have your 5000 dollars?What would you do for $5000?

I am about to import 80,500 of these indian hesbee 22 short single shot handguns. They are currently in transit being shipped from India.They have sat in storage as they were built in 1959 as gunlaws became more restricted in India. If you were in my shoes, how do I make this business venture successful. I purchased each pistol at 2160 rupees (around 24$) and they cost me ($1500 for import and $5000 in shipping) so i am in for abit under $2mil. Do you think people will actually buy these or should I put my house for sale ASAP?
>>64742593LMAO. Anon... you fucked up.
>>64743611a genius walks among us
>>64743611NO! NOT T3H /k/OT!!! MONSTER!>>64742593Having read so far, some top ideas.I'll add:- sell here on /k/ marketplace, give is a special deal you can afford for a couple weeks or the first hundred you sell here or something- set price at $75/$80 for a single unit, but price break for people who buy 5 at a time, like $250 or $300(You) CAN document these are virgin, original 1959 manufacture, right? That makes them unusual collectables, so don't undersell yourself too far. If you're not getting action, put some on temporary price reduction every now and then at random shake up your market and get your buyers looking & waiting for discounts. The raffle idea is pretty solid, too.>>64745145WWJJD?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

How would you defeat this?
>>64756584>triesThey(random hypothetical assholes) could only fail because they were written by libtards, just like the robot "villains". They don't really want a cruel miserable setting, they want to trappings of one in order to be edgy, and they even feel guilty about it. They don't understand that soft scifi by its very nature puts the means to fuck up the universe into the hands of every autistic asshole who thinks it would be a real neato thing to do. And the best part is that it only takes one success to ruin everything for everybody everywhere forever.Which makes it doubly funny that they thought they were being clever without realizing the basic assumptions of their setting make it far "worse" than they ever imagined according to their moral paradigm, or "better" according to mine. Conflict is fun, a world without conflict is not fun.

If I wanted to run black powder through a shotgun for innawoods larp; should I do it with my mossberg shockwave, my 835 ultimate mag, or would should I buy a cheap maverick 88?
Do with whatever is easiest to clean, if that means getting a cheap break action do that.
