I went to the Muncie gun show was not bad, they had a few guns some nice handguns kind of cheap 9 mm Sw for $250 with two mags I was going to buy it but I saw a rifle I wanted but the guy wouldn't come down in price. Ended up buying nothing and then a bunch of stoned black kids showed up and a black dude with a large scar on his face who was trying to buy a whole bunch of ARS and pistol variants. I might go back tomorrow just to see if someone's willing to make a deal I don't have much money
>>64769412Correct, futa is what they call "straight gay"

At the gun show this weekend I bought a 20guage smoothbore blanket/canoe gun that a reenactor buddy of mine made from a trade musket parts kits. $350. Not to shabby. I can't wait to shoot it.
Everyday I thank God I am America

How many LRASMs will the US have in the East Asia/Pacific by February–April 2027? A good friend of mine (who I trust a lot) told me that Pooh will invade Taiwan around then and wants the whole island occupied and the US accepting defeat by August 1 (the anniversary of the start of the Civil War). (I’m not saying who my friend is btw so you’ll have to “trust me bro” on this)
>>64765378he's off by a year, it'll happen in 2028 for maximum US election chaos
>>64769505You haven't been keeping up with the news have you. They removed any ambiguity in November last year and are in the fight from hour 1.
>>64769495Well the good thing about this is that you don't have to do any physical changes to the aircraft at all, crazy how that works huh
>>64765378>wants the whole island occupied in 6 monthslollmaogood fucking luck with that

What's /k/'s opinion on Project Sundial?Should it have been built?
waste of resources for the most part, since getting it to an opfor nation is relatively hard and multiple smaller warheads are almost always more efficient.it's possible and workable to put a multigigaton device on something like an enlarged poseidon (functionally a full-sized nuclear powered suicide submarine in the case of sundial), but it'd probably just be better to use warheads in the 100s of megatons to reduce size and weight like poseidon itself and make multiple of them for the same cost.
>>64772874The purpose is a suicidal "final weapon" like Pluto. They did plan on a smaller Sundial called Gnomon, which was only 1 gigaton but never went anywhere I think...
>>64771649>cant be used on a planet you want to live onYeah it's a fucking great idea let's build several
>>64772870And render Earth a waste for us to live on the surface >>64772898Hasn’t stopped us before
>>64772898It's final deterrence. You nuke NATO, NATO guarantees your destruction via a nuke you cannot intercept. Rumor has it the Chinese have massive nukes onboard large cargo container vessels. Cartels south of the border have stolen Russian backpack nukes, hence why the US has never done a Salsa Verde desert storm.
>2022 >ukrainian army mostly built on Soviet hand-me-downs>successfully repels Russia from Kiev, Kherson, Kharkov, etc >2023 and onward >Ukraine's army built around NATO'S best equipment>offensives (e.g. crimea, kursk) fail utterly>can't even keep the power on in kievso, umm, how did Soviet junk do better than cutting-edge nato tech?
>>64772441>>64772477>"From 2023 onward Ukraine hasn't won."Anon, we are in 2026 and Russia still hasn't defeated Ukraine. For the love of God, have your next thread be about weapons instead.

1911s are like a good Rolex. Its not as cheap/practical as a digital watch/just using your phone but every time you handle it and take it out there's a weight and craftsmanship to it that just feels nice.

Realistically, what firearm would you need to take down a rampaging Na'vi from the Avatar films? Nine feet of solid muscle and bone (reinforced with natural carbon fibre), extremely fast-moving and agile, fighting on their own turf with very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut it, would 7.62mm be enough?
>>64765004For some reason I thought he had this rifle
>>64772386Man I love when people who don't know what guns are try to design guns, always leads to hilarious bullshit like this, lol
>>64761905Can you believe this is from the same guy who gave us Terminator, T2, Aliens, and the Abyss?Like I'm starting to think there is a good reason that studios kept directors like him and Lucas on a leash in the beginning. When they are given full reign to go full retard they always go full retard.

>>64769284>>64769151>What is heat treating All AR500 is not the same thing. Most targets are AR500 but not rated as armor or intended for anything but what it says on the tin. There is a reason a cheep steel plate for center-fire rifles is 3/8" or 1/2" thick instead of 1/4" like rated armor for the same threats. That plate might even be meant for fucking airgun pellets considering it's germany, but .22 is s safe bet because it's 1/4" and almost failed to an arrow gun. Go to your local bass pro pyramid and check the plinking targets and you'll find those hanging plates next to the dancing blocks. "Stronger than steel" for composites (talking about the naavi arrows now) is also generally stronger *by weight* and has little to do with hardness. There is a reason why titanium isn't suitable for everything and arrows even made of naavi super material bone would perform worse than Jorge's black pipe with a tent peg welded to the end against body armor systems.

Hello /k/, I am writing a story and would like some feedback please if my idea is feasible for a firearm. In the story a small number of people have to start out from scratch, they have their modern theorethical knowledge but nothing else. The goal is to make a firearm that is reliable and can take down big game. They are a couple years in, currently they can manufacture iron and low quantities high grade steel.Current constraints are the inability to manufacture mercury fulminate or lead azide nor can they draw thin-walled brass cartridges.My idea was they come up with an anachronistic rifle: single-shot, lever-actuated falling block action with a flintlock. .60 caliber, the barrel would be rifled, 32-inch long, for now wrought iron. Steel is used only for the mainspring and frizzen spring. For munition a paper cartridge. As far as I understand they would need to add a gas seal on the face of the block to mitigate leaks from the breech.Could you tell me how retarded is this for a first gun for a budding civilisation that needs force multipliers against megafauna? Feel free to suggest upgrades to be implemented at the start/down the line.
Other options? Mega fauna don't recognise traps even a little, so would just run straight into palisades, spikes mounted in the ground. The petard is enormously powerful, the issue is timing. One strategy would be to funnel fauna through a ravine, then set the petard off like a shaped charge, through the gap, hitting and panicking all the fauna trying to fry through at once. You might use bait to lure raptors into a gully then wound a number of them that way. Another option might be to use petard to defend a caveIt takes a very long time, a very long time to mine and work iron, that's why for a very long time copper, bronze was still preferred, with iron used only in tooling, to help shape the copper which is abundant as malachite ore close to the surface. Tin is also fairly abundant.How much iron can be mined in two years? With only stone tools? Not much. Crushing the ore is incredibly hard without industrial machinery and smelting it requires a ton of wood, or coal.Another interesting option is volcanic iron, witch is often found in balls or irregular shapes. But it's iron and you can just pick it up. Though unworkable, it would be great cannon shot. Dump that onto your bronze cannon, very effective. Making gunpowder, the best way is to farm and refine bird or bat shit, sulphur is common in many ores. Active charcoal is just made in a clay kiln. Potassium is found in potassium nitrate, which can be made through the reaction of concentrated niters (nitration)
>>64765784Do your people have a lathe? If so, you can turn brass cartridges. If not, how are you machining your barrels?
>>64770005>>64770049I plan on including primitive grenades before guns, hollow clay then bronze balls to be thrown, filled with jagged things. Thanks for your effortposts. The iron used in its base form as shot is clever.>>64770194Lathe is being worked on, I wanted to explore how could they make a functioning gun in what is basically a medieval smithy, they did it by hammer welding then finished the barrel with hand reamers. It is slow and wasteful but gave them invaluable epxerience working with iron, a psychological anchor and motivation to build a water mill powered lathe. The timeline is still quite fluid, I have only vague notions how the story would go. After the lathe is done the main block for proper cartridges would still be the chemical components required for primers, for a while.
>>64766072The idea of a breech loader predates metallic cartridge casings by centuries anon. The reason why it never took off in small arms prior to metallic cartridge casings is that there's really no other good way to do it. When humanity historically reached the point of technological development that you're talking about, they settled on the muzzle loading flintlock because that was the best way to do it under those constraints. This is unfortunately your best answer for this scenario.>>64770194Of what use would metallic cartridge cases be if primers aren't available?
So its just Doctor Stone. But with dinosaurs.
I feel like I have restless .22lr syndrome more than I have restless AR syndrome. I haven't really change my AR in years
>>64768494there is no better suppressor host .22lr pistol than a MKIV. The only drawback is the low capacity, but that doesn't matter when you're just plinking/target shooting.
Any reviews of the updated ruger 10/22 (like the 30000 model)? I was going to do a Kidd build but I think I might get one of these new ruger models instead.
>>64768094A ruger single six is a bit expensive but it will last your lifetime and be something you'll pass on to your heirs (if you have any). A lever gun in .22 is just plain fun. I have a Henry, but I can't recommend new Henry guns as their QC and build quality have tanked in the last years.A single shot bolt action .22 is more fun than it has a right to be. Also, it will teach you patience in shooting, to make each shot count, because you have to with a single shot. Usually these are sold as baby's first gun because they fit that role very well for a lot of reasons. But do not discount their fun factor or their ability to be a teaching tool for yourself. Also, many of them are far more accurate than a rifle at their price point has any right to be.I don't know about modern pump actions, but I own a couple of old Savage Model 29s. Pump action .22s are also a load of fun, especially when plinking.For bolt action .22s you have the Ruger American Rimfire on the low end of the price range. It uses 10/22 mags and is probably the best bang for the buck in its price range. Very accurate for what it is. Plenty of after market if you want to change sights, mount a scope, etc. Higher in the price range are the CZ's. I absolutely love my CZ457 Jaguar. I don't believe you can beat it for accuracy at its price point. Spending more money than what you would on a CZ gets into (in my opinion) quickly diminishing returns territory. And it's really only worth it if you're shooting competitively or you really love 22lr and you've got the money to just blow on something like a Vudoo or a competition Anshutz.If you want something that is stupid accurate, keep your eyes out for a Birmingham small arms Martini Henry action .22 at auction. They usually go for less than 1k. They're old school, single shot competition guns.Old Military trainers shouldn't be over looked. I have an old French MAS 45 that is almost as accurate as my Jaguar.
>>64772460cont.You'll get all the fun of a box fed bolt action 22lr AND some history in one package. Just be sure to give it a good once over to check the condition. If you can handle the gun, bring a straight edge with you and check for any subtle barrel bulges. Why? Because conscripts are stupid, that's why. I had to return 2 guns to an auction house that didn't catch that particular condition issue themselves.
>>64771740Thank you for posting a gun. I've been thinking about getting the 16" threaded barrel too now that tax stamps are $0.

>>64772817What if I just dryfire? It's cheaper and doesn't involve driving an hour both ways
>>64772636Surefire way is to look for a shiny thread between the single action lever and the plastic sear housing. There's also a hole on the front of the sear housing at that location, inside the magazine well, but I believe there is a divot molded in now so that may not be an indicator that the set screw has been installed, plus Walther has been melting over the screw so it's not accessible from the front so it may just look like a divot when actually there's a screw hidden
>>64772817every day has been like 25 degrees with 15mph wind and 35mph gusts. im not shooting in that.
>>64772607I'm typically not an extra mag guy, but I will keep them in mind should i reconsider
>>64772636>>64772859I should say, you can pivot the single action lever to the rear with your finger to get a better view. If there's anything sticking out of the flat black plastic in front of the single action lever, it's the screw
