How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.

Logistics guy here. These things are brilliant from a logistics standpoint. The clubs themselves are made of a really sturdy hardwood and can potentially last for years of repeated use if cared for.

>>64668139An accidental case of using the same numbers?
>>64668157Probably. Prime has a lot of odd duck plates. The M993-rated 0949, the totally-not-a-Hesco 3814 or 3812P, the Hesco 3812 that's worse than the 3811, this 1023, and some speed plates similar to Paraclete's straight outta 1997 throwback models. I should make an infographic.
>>64668186>M993-rated 0949Didn't this one have a totally FUBAR test report and weren't they saying that "well, uh, it might not really be M993-rated" or am I thinking of something else?
>>64668205Correct. I brought that up a couple months ago. They use the same test report for three different weight plates, I checked this on the wayback machine.However, to argue the alternative, this could also be a nominal sizing problem. If you check several of their plates, they use 9.5x11.5 nominal instead of 10x12, exactly like Highcum. Now, like Highcum, this is more likely about 9x11. If you take the SAPI M 0949 and calculate weight to shooters cut 10x12 (7.61lb) then 9x11, you arrive at 6.27lb, which is only 0.02lb off from the report.The 0949 matches no known Highcom model and it's too thick to be the 4S16, which is the closest Highcom spec-wise, albeit no M993 defeat. No drop foam even.
So I did some more digging into Prime Armor, since the 0949 is no longer offered in a "10x12" or "9.5x11.5" - and the 9.5x11.5 is 6.9lb. If you take the not-10x12, at 6.27lb, as 9x11 and make it 9.5x11.5 then it's 6.91lb - again almost right on the dot. This reconciles the "three weights" issue. I think the 9.5x11.5 is actual and the 10x12 is really about 9x11 a la Highcom and nu-RMA. This is irrelevant now because the 0949 is only offered SAPI cut today. Regardless they need a new test report. I shouldn't have to work plate dimensions and areal densities to figure out if the 0949 is the 0949 and is also the 0949. Three years ago they did march a 6.29lb, ostensibly (its not) 10x12 plate to NTS Wichita and it did stop 2x M993 at XSAPI velocity and then two M855A1. The question is consistency. They have no NIJ certs so that's a great start.Their business address is 11709 Boudreaux Road, Unit 530, Tomball, Texas 77375. Pic related, it's the second warehouse on the right, second set of doors. It's right next to Homerun Roofing. Next set of doors down is a liquor store that doesn't know what triple sec is and it's across the road from Slinging Axes and Century Air Solutions. Since Gilliam is making plates in his garage it stands to reason optimus prime can make plates in a decently-sized warehouse. This is only somewhat smaller than what Pinnacle Armor was making Dragonskin in about twenty years ago up until the boss Murray Neal filed Chapter 11 in 2010.

>>64665940No problem anon, always willing to help someone who wants to do it right. You can definitely get into turbo autism about the upper receiver having a cage code or dogbone on it. I'd say definitely just try to get one of those contract overrun ones with the dry film coating because they usually look more correct than the super slick black anodizing other places do. You can probably reasonably run any normal BCG and a CH isn't hard to nab. Good luck
>>64665948Hot damn, Thoroughbred will just straight up sell me the upper, and DSA has the RAS.https://www.thoroughbredarmco.com/product/116/https://dsarms.com/product/knights-armament-ar15-m4-carbine-ras-handguard-system/Could throw these together on my SBR'd lower for now until I source a new lower and get the paperwork done on it. So this is looking pretty feasible. I think I know what I'm gonna blow my holiday pay on lol.Thanks again, Anon. Having a real M4 clone is gonna be such a cool addition to the collection.
>>64665246maybe. although probably with a different cartridge and a shitload of fins or water cooled trying to dissipate heat.
>>64665972Counterpoint- buy one of these instead: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1142584540These kinda get slept on, but Remington along with Colt, FN, and DD were all licensed contractors to provide M4 carbines for FMS. When Remington went tits up, the old stock was sold off and has been getting sold on GB for the past few years. Remington isn’t as sexy as the other three when it comes to name, but it’s all US government TDP so quality really isn’t that different from make to make. I have one of these and it’s perfectly fine. Throw down ~$400 for the upper and $100 for a PSA Sabre/Expo Arms KAC rail knock off and you’re in for less money than the Colt upper with no BCG/CH

What other absurdly dangerous fictional things should be banned?
I saw that screencap posted on /pol/ earlier today. Apparently that bitch says something about banning “beltfed magazines”. We had a fun time in that thread.Anyone have a link to the video where she says that? I’m dying to see it.

What was the worst military you worked with?
>>64664895I was never in but I was a civ contractor at JBER for 4 years after high school, I never encountered an Aussie doing exercises but heard they were decent folks.Then I worked for the drunk tank driving paddywagons(paid better and I wanted to go to college out of pocket) for about two years. In the summers we had so many current and former Aussie service members pile up at Koot’s that we turned a blind eye to the hobo chugs, because it was so much nicer and easier to do a shift with just the aussies. Even fall-down drunk I liked the aussies better than most sober service members I worked around.

A few days ago, at a Christmas event, General Masiello, commander of the Italian Army, has announced that starting next year they will begin full adoption of the Beretta NARP assault rifle and of a new multi terrain camo that will replace both the standard Vegetata and the Vegecam used by special forces. Camos and rifle are already issued to a few elite units, and have been in testing since at least 2020This means that Italy follows the international trend of adopting an AR15 style rifle and a Multicam-like camo. Thoughts?
>>64665194One of the main reasons that gign adopted the bren in 7.62x39 was because they were doing a lot of operations in Africa and the idea was that if they ran out of the fancy 7.62x39 they brought they could just use some shitty 7.62x39 they could source locally due to how common it is until the operation was done, as opposed to using something that performs basically the same that they wouldn't be able to source locally. Also what the actual fuck are these new captchas this shit is retarded.
>>64667936I heard it was because of urban anti-terrorist operations: 7.62x39's shitty ballistics at medium-long ranges don't really matter within that context, and it supposedly performs well against soft obstacles (glass, windshields, plywood, particle board etc), better than most other intermediate cartridges
>>64667936>>64668005Both reasons were cited as to why they chose 7.62x39. Thump through cars and ammo availability. 7.62x39 ball ammo has crummy terminal ballistics, but Hornady 123gr SST is fucking GNARLY out to about 200 yards, crazy wound profile.
>>64667259I didn't really read the entire conversation. You ever consider that maybe the reason for that is because you are more annoying? I do not care about your persecution complex and your insane obsession, get the fuck back to your faggot containment thread and let us talk about spaghetti guns in peace
>>64664985A European army is leaving behind their idiosyncratic assault rifle for a short stroke ar-15?Wow. I didn't know that. You're telling me for the first time.
I was watching Ian's video on this captive pistol pistol and he said the round leaks gas out the front which gives it the volume of maybe a silenced 22 pistol or something. But there's got to be a way to improve these rounds so they're completely silent right? It would have limited application but still it'd be pretty cool
>>64655448Can't you just double down and put a suppressor on it?
>>64662684well gas ain't the problem
>>64662684The rounds literally do not release any substantial amount of gas (I believe Ian mentioned that they actually stay pressurized for quite a while due to being fully sealed), meaning the only noise is action noise and the sound of the piston/projectile slamming forwardMeans that aside from the very soft noise of the round firing, the autoloader only has the sound of the slide running while the revolver in theory only has the sound of the hammer striking the primerOnly way I can think of to make the rounds as close to 100% silent as possible at that point is to put them in a bolt-action pistol Welrod-style (or implement a slide-locking mechanism Mk22 Hush Puppy-style on the autoloader - either way you run into the problem of slow follow-ups) or completely shroud the cylinder on the revolver so that there's no action noise nor cylinder gap at play
>>64662684What do you think that would accomplish anon?
the best way to have it in a commercially somewhat viable way is a pepperbox revolver loaded from the back with blanks and from the front with bullets, a piston inbetween. thus registration us only necessary once and provided the gas seal holds (that's the problem here), it'll be just as quiet.could also use that other idea where the piston chamber is higher diameter than the barrel, and thus the movement of the piston propels the cartridge through a longer barrel than the piston itself travels.
Reportedly footage of 4 Russian mobilized columns being taken out near Dobropilliahttps://files.catbox.moe/ulcxm6.mp4Question: what's the thing dropped just after 5:15?

>>64668413why are you so aggressive anon? He's literally telling you the munition being used at the requested timestamp
>>64668413What are you on about?OP asked what is being dropped at 5:15.I tried to show him that the text at the bottom indicates the type of ammunition used for each drop, in this case, ZAB-2.5.
Which caliber is better? Does the shorter length of the .308 while being mostly the same ballisticly make it better, or does the slightly longer length and ability to use heavier grain bullets of the 30-06 make it better?Or is 30-06 better because it sounds cooler and is an American classic?
>>64664630Well USA hasn't won a war since they started using Fag-units for ammo.
>>64668240Fact. Trump doesn't talk enough about this. We need to go back to imperial units. NATO countries can either get on board or be shit out of luck next time Germany chimps out
>>64665495Their “moose” is just elk tho
>>64668240>adopt 6mm Lee Navy>ship blows upTracks
30-06 for anything heavier than 180 grain. Otherwise, 308 and 30-06 are pretty comparable. As far as guns go, you get more choices for semis with 308

Bolties are known for being more accurate but it doesn't mean there are no 1 MOA ARs. So if hunting with semi autos is legal in your place, wouldn't it be a good deal to sacrifice some accuracy for easier follow up shots? And at war a bolt action sniper rifle seems good unless you need something for short distance self defence which means it's probably better to have an additional gun.
>>64664029Dude Remington made ONE POINT FOUR MILLION Model 742 Woodsmasters and I bet 80% were chambered in 06. Trad gunsmiths, Military don't like like 'em because the receivers were milled out one block of forged steel. The bolt-carrier slides were machined into the receiver = almost impossible to repair once fucked. Also action not nearly as water/grit-proof as a Garand. Against that they are beautiful hunting rifles. Rem worked long and hard to reduce felt recoil. I loved mine but I passed it on to a nephew.
>>64658105Nobody had brought up the issue that damage to the nose of any kind of projectile (soft, hollow, spirepoint) can entirely be avoided by cycling a bolt-gun deliberately. Semiautos have a tendency to have feed ramps with steps cut in them and at any rate send 'em into the chamber much faster. Yes they have plastic tip bullets that are all-but-immune to damage from that, now. But for fine accuracy it will always favor bolt-guns. When you are sending 'em waaaaay out there you want all your slugs to be perfectly undamaged.
>>64658105I know SWAT guys who really wanted to be able to have an excuse to use their .308 ARs but they couldn't show that they were equally as accurate as their issued bolt actions, which were clapped out Remington 700s. They did some comparative shooting and the bolts were more accurate. It would have brought too much liability to let the sniper use an AR. But yes they do shoot follow up shots quicker. You need to ask yourself, do I need to push the limits of accuracy or do I need volume of fire? In most preppers case a semi auto would be more practical. You can still hunt at effective range and put down quicker volume of fire if needed. But if you're trying to shoot a "deer" between the eyes a bolty serves you better. They're also lighter to carry.
>>64661245Depends on what you plan to do with the rifle. If you're planning on shooting for the best possible groups or doing competitions, a bull barrel is definitely helpful. It will be less prone to flyers when the barrel starts to heat up. If you're only ever going to shoot in totally controlled scenarios (as in you can let your barrel cool down between shots as needed) or if your main use is hunting, then there's really no need for a bull barrel. As a simple example, if I'm trying to shoot my best possible groups, my 308 M1A can start to open up after just 3 shots with its pencil profile barrel if I don't let it cool down between shots. My 6.5C B14HMR I can go 7-10 rounds before I notice any real impact on groupings.

Why are Ruskies so fucking gay? They don't even have some excuse for being gay, like when all those sandniggers raped Frenchmen who were campaigning under Napoleon. Were these mudslimes from central asia or actual Russians? Either way gay as fuck.
