UN peacekeepers should be armed to the tits. I'm talking tanks, artillery, jets, high training & standards for every soldier. Hell give them fucking nuclear weapons, arm every infantry man into high hell and train them into guerilla warfare & build emplacements.Then you take them, force them between two countries. And if either side tries to attack one another, you kill anyone approaching the border. You bomb bases near the boarder and shoot down any planes. And if they somehow get close to destroying this peacekeeping force, you nuke them.>But how do you fund it!You force everyone to do fund it. 0,5% of GPD from every country on earth, if they don't their government will face the wrath of the peacekeepers. Its a positive for more peaceful countries that don't want to maintain massive militaries due to lower military spending. This would also make the world much more stable which is good for making money as well.

>>64772073If you want to get good at shooting pistols, you must dry fire, and a red dot gives you about ten times more feedback/data on your trigger pull during dry fire than irons do. If you want to get good quick, dry firing a gun with a red dot for 15 minutes a day is probably the most efficient way to go about it. Red dots aren't *necessary* for learning to shoot a pistol well, but they streamline the process substantially.
>>64772073I would recommend a red dot first because you can learn everything there and then learn a irons. With irons you're fighting sight alignment issues, sight picture issues, and trigger control issues, and recoil anticipation all at once. With a red dot you can easily isolate issues and work on them with dry fire practice with instant feedback.The downside being that developing the skill to be able to "find" the red dot makes using the gun defensively for a new shooter to be a big issue. It's not easy to get over this and develop an index to where you can draw the gun and the red dot is on the target without any effort but once you do that you're better than someone who uses the irons as a crutch for sight alignment (looking at the irons as you draw).If you were purely learning to shoot I would say get a red dot. If you need the gun for defensive reasons, then irons for now but buy a separate gun for practice with a red dot. The idea that you must master irons before going to a red dot is moronic. Also shooting 3 inch groups at 10 yards is basically mastering irons already, people shooting for years in this thread (who defend irons and hate dots) cannot do that with their beloved irons.
>>64772055This slit is only alive because men protect her.That gun is a prop for simps (you).Please get help.
>>64772073Dry fire with a dot. Live fire with irons if that's what you'd carry.
>>64772116>Also shooting 3 inch groups at 10 yards is basically mastering irons already, people shooting for years in this thread (who defend irons and hate dots) cannot do that with their beloved irons.An experience shooter, like Paul Harrel, could get a decent group at 50 yards using irons, on one video Paul even grouped at 100 yards, that's mastering irons.
The sharpest thread on /k/.Underrated Knives Edition
>>64771492If I may ask, what did you use to polish, because that looks pretty damn slick; kinda tempted to do it myself on my old MSI now. > it is when the locking piece is exerting pressure on the blade right against the 7-9 o'clock position that the most friction is feltSounds about right, I think the radius on part of the swivel isn't a perfect circle but I only saw the blueprints for the MSI once, Amphibian never. > I will just have to deal with this as part of owning this model knife but damn I wish I could open it as smoothTry putting some oil on the wedge's spring, as well as the part of the wedge that contacts the top spine part of the scales. I marked with green lines on pic attached but let me know if you need more pictures and I'll see what I can do.I do not know if there's spare Venomtech holsters... but I'd be kicking myself until the sun burnt out if I didn't ask if you wanted to sell it. EXieNsearT@protonmail.com is my contact. Your best bet would be to contact the guys via the webform and see if there's any OGs left; I've seen boxes of various old parts here and there but I couldn't tell you about a Venomtech holster off the top of my head. If I had a venom, I'd go for a local guy and customize the holster *exactly* how I like. Congrats on it.
>>64771840On the locking piece and blade a year ago I outright used sandpaper up to 3000 grit and then autosol & steel wool (I clean/restore antique sabres primarily so most of what I do is either trying to make something not rusted shit or if its a part of an otherwise minty blade get it nice and shiny). On the screw I used the 2-pack dremel polishing ones heres: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dremel-Max-Life-180-Grit-and-280-Grit-Finishing-Abrasive-Buffs-EZ511HP/321791930and then the higher 300 grit one. I have a love/hate with dremel stuff because the tool is cheap but all the polishing wheels are stupid expensive and they frequently dont label any of them even on the packaging if you get more than one. After the 300 grit one I used that 1 black bit thats like a felt polishing pad except its a lot harder, the 520 one thats impregnated with shit: https://www.dremel.com/us/en/p/520-02-26150520aaand then after that I just hand rubbed some autosol around. I really have to train myself not to slowly open it just to feel the bad spot because I literally cannot fix that lmao but otherwise it's super smooth and slick. Hope that helps! Nothing major was used at all unless you consider the 180 grit polishing wheel severe. Oh yeah forgot to mention RE your green lines that I did polish the fuck out of those surfaces last year and confirmed again that they all still run smooth. Feeling it out better the issue is in the pivot pin, especially those 3-facets there where it is flat (1 flat facet parallel to the flat of the grip and 1 angled on either side, just briefly tried to clean up the lines with the highest polishing wheel but nothing else even if a part of me wonders if marking out where the blade passes through and then only polishing that part as round as possible would alleviate things but that is for another day)
>text wallStfu.
>>64772183(cot'd) that probably made it sound like a super long in depth cleaning, whole thing start to finish was like 15-20 minutes desu of just sitting outside, including trying to find a close enough screw to half thread in and hold it for the dremel. Opposite of the flat faceted part on mine was fairly rough for some reason. I also thinking out loud am also realizing putting pressure on the blade/locking piece back and forth to find rough spots probably puts more direct pressure on parts that you normally wouldn't when opening and I'm basically forcing stuff together until I feel something rough, even if accidentally. I know the Socom Bravo isnt you guys but god damn I can breathe on mine and it'll snap open. Multiple times at work people used to think it was an auto for thumb flicking with the barest motion. >TL;DR just polishing level abrasives or the highest end of shaping grade abrasives and then straight to the polishing stuff.
>>64772183> I clean/restore antique sabres primarily That's dope as fuck dude! > that I just hand rubbed some autosol aroundYou could put a bolt into the pivot, attach it to a drill, and use autosol to get the pivlot perfect, depending on how adventurous you are! >>64772187Silence, sad man. >>64772214> Opposite of the flat faceted part on mine was fairly rough for some reasonManufacturing blemishes. Not the highest priority to finish since the customer 99.99999% of the time won't see it. Well man, glad you like it and I'm glad I was able to help you out! I try to lurk the knife threads constantly but if you don't see me and have questions, you got my email address.

All things precision shooting, no experience necessary. Discuss rifles, barrels, action, glass, loads, groups, competitions, and anything else related to the pursuit of tighter groups and longer shots.
>>64767989Local range is 500 yards, so that is probably the farthest I will train to. Mainly I want this as a sentry dmr, something I can make quick follow up shots with. Ill probably put a red dot on top of the scope as a backup. With an AEM5 this thing will be pretty heavy, so I don’t mind adding a little more weight for a nice scope. I have no preference for reticles since I have no experience. Can you use .223 for big game? I’d like to get into hunting in a few years. I also own a .270 Sako Finnbear, which my grandfather hunted with. Should I put a nicer scope on it? Feels wrong to tamper with it…but technology has improved so much.
>>64768627That's a pretty good budget for that kind of usage case, you could get a Vortex Razor 1-10 for that money at the moment from Europtic I think, and have a very decent LPVO with reasonable performance at 1x and decent PID at 10x and a pretty good field of view. You'd have a lot of headroom for an ACOG based setup with a fuckload of field of view but less magnification. Eotech's new Vudu looks like it could be compelling but it's probably best to wait for reviews at this point. The Vortex and the new Voodoo are FFP so you can measure and do wind holds or holdover at any magnification. That's a lot of head room in more traditional tactical scopes too - are you intending on shooting mostly at 500 or mostly at 100-300?That rifle is lovely, anon - if it were me, and my grandfather, I'd leave it as it is and enjoy it, and grab something like a Tikka Lite in a hunting cartridge of my choice with a more modern scope and a KRG or MDT chassis if I wanted a more modern hunting experience.
Any toy gun bros here? I've been thinking about getting a high performance airgun for longer distance target shooting. Used to play around with my fathers .22LR at our summer cottage as a kid and it was very meditative, I really liked it. Helpped in the army shooting range too. I'm finnish so getting the required licenses for anything more than an airgun is more hassle than I'm interested for now but I think said airgun could be a good start because that you can just buy. Anyone have experience of these turkish Hatsan brand guns?
>>64768937Thank you anon, you’ve given me alot to think about. I mean honestly, Im probably going to be shooting 100-300 for the majority while I build up my proficiency. But I would like something capable of 500 when I’m ready for it.Also thank you! I havent shot the sako much, but from what I have done, its super smooth. Much better than my mosin lol. I’ll leave it as is to honor his memory. Maybe even stack a deer with it one day.
>>64770191That budget gives you a lot of options for a nice rifle.

>>64767853I'm always up for some twink history.
>>64767866 Well for example it's mentioned in Death in Venice that Tadzio's sisters were raised in severe nun like strictness while he as son and heir was indulged in every regard by his mother like his long curls, his outfits and his lounging posture Vs his ramrod stiff sisters. That's a common theme in European aristocrats of the period. Then there's all male boarding schools where romantic friendships were so common as to be a known thing that a blind eye was turned to it. Another literature example Brideshead Revisited has a Italian character talk about the "strange British and German upper class custom" that a boy's first and most innocent love should be with another boy.Such over mothering and softness was to be counterbalanced by being toughened up in the army or colonial service. It's also important to note that in India young men just out of school would be parachuted into high up positions by modern terms due to being part of a ruling minority.so you would go from boarding school straight to being an Assistant District Commissioner in Afghanistan, a railway supervisor or commanding a precinct of Native Police so you had to put aside your romantic friendships and love poems.
