how fucked are silencer wait times going to be next week?
>>64680290no, you are. "i dont want the feds to know about me" is the lamest cope
I predict the early birds will get the quick several day approvals we've been seeing recently, once the ball gets rolling two weeks will be the average, and after that wait times will skyrocket to 6-7 months again
>>64680287At this point if you're not on a list I question your value.
>>64674180Anon they were single digit like last year late Fall IIRC. Maybe late Winter. Literally week or less. Some reported same day which is fucking nuts.

Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever. We will be dispatching the Grinch Relief Corps (GRC) as needed to remedy.

Merry Christmas/K/ ! Im back to make my singular annual post and thank my Santa for mags, awesome ach wit doodles, “local” (lmao) liquor, and cupcakes ill make sure to pass out to the bros at my meet. I hope you have a great rest of the year anon and Im still waiting for my target to post. In 5yrs ive only had one post. Sad!
>>64680010Glad you like it, the habaneros were grown in my backyard
>>64678512I opened your package earlier in the day Par/k/Ranger, thank you so much for all of the cool stuff, and the WW2 German Books look great too, thank you =DI also really like the Hatchet, and the Police Helmet, it looks really tough. All and all this is amazing, and I am glad that I participated in SekretSanta, Merry Christmas Par/k/Ranger :P
Keep posting packages as you unbox them! I had a great Christmas yesterday with you all, /k/. Ahab and I will be posting the raffle results later today so stay tuned!May God bless us every one!
>>64680822Thank you and Ahab so much for killing the Grinch and spreading another year of Christmas joy among my second, slightly less dysfunctional family.
I used to intern with a Class II FFL precision rifle builder who also manufactured some NFA items and no joke, you can literally make a good quality (albeit rough finished) suppressor for under $100 provided you have a lathe. You can make even cheaper wipe suppressors for close to $50 out of pipe tubing you find on amazon. I remember watching this video by an American volunteer in the Ukrainian International Legion who talk about a company in the Czech Republic that sold suppressors for the Bren 2 that cost $125 so clearly it doesn't cost that much to make them yet I'm having a hard time finding anyone selling even shitty .22lr whip suppressors for under $500. Certainly with the NFA tax going away you'd think there'd be a market for cheap suppressors in the US right?
>>64676719Which one of these is modeled after Sasha Grey?
Why do suppressor and fleshlight cutaways look identical? What is it about these patterns that make a penis sneeze so hard?
>>64678744>sure an rc2 is 1.2k but its been tested at full auto and can actually handle itEuropean makers sell full auto rated cans for like €600
>>64678725>they have to be quite finely machinedNah not really. Stamped tolerances are plenty good for suppressors.
>>64676919Do you think every person just has a lathe laying around? Those things are expensive as fuck.
It's been more than twenty years, can we finally agree that the Punisher is the worst weapon in the game about weapons?
>>64678326no way, fag
>>64678263Its been at least 15 years since I played re4, but i recall the 5.7 being okay. the only gun thats legitimately shit was the sl8, because it was much weaker than the 1903 unless you kept them both stock, and really doesn't fire significantly faster either, plus it takes up more space. Considering the primary use was as a thermal host for regenerators, the 1903 was the obvious better choice and by the time you got access to the alternative, youd probably have most of the 1903 upgrade anyway.
>>64680689holy shit you cannot be this wrong.
>>64678263Brainlets don't understand that both Original and Remake RE4 are games where your playstyle has just as much of an impact as the loadout you are carrying. I'd argue the only objectively bad guns are the Remake TMP and maybe Ada's Remake blacktail. If you are having a bad time with a weapon, you are probably using the wrong weapon for the way you are playing the game.Punisher is fine if you're doing any kind of run where shotguns are a no-go. Their ability to penetrate means that if you can funnel two or more enemies into any kind of narrow hallway you can do lots of easy and cheap damage. If you're just using it to pop off individuals one at a time in a more open area yeah it's fucking shiiiiiit. But the entire benefit of the punisher is that you're probably not carrying any shotgun at all so the game is going to give you next-to-no shotgun ammo and give you plenty of handgun ammo to compensate. Remake is slightly more difficult because of what >>64679823 says with metal shield stuff. But you should still be good enough at aiming that you can pop enemies' feet even if you have a controller with stick drift.I'm a sucker for the Red9 because I like having unique looking guns to shoot and at max power it's like firing a minishotgun slug at someone's limbs. The starting handgun was something I swore off of most of my teenage years but after doing a starting-handgun-only run in the OG a few years back I really came around to appreciate bumped crit rate, it's cathartic random crits pulls you out of tough positions that your own stupidity put you in. Blacktail is just very 'meh', there's nothing about it that stands out except for superior handling but it can do almost any job without problem, it just shows up too late in either version of either game to really justify swapping over for minimal performance difference. Matilda is just dumb fun but it's a NG+ weapon so it's not really worth talking about.
>>64678263The punisher is complete dogshit because it doesn't work to the actual benefits of how the game is designed.>Regular pistolReliable, not powerful but it does the job. Upgraded it gains massive crit-chance so it basically pops anybody's head with 2 shots>Red9Powerhouse, inaccurate as hell but with the stock is dead-precise. Upgraded it can kill most things with just a few shots.>BlacktailQueen of all categories but master of none, great gun but you get it way too late. You'll have an upgraded Red9 or Pistol at this point and they will be superior in ways.>PunisherDoesn't explode heads with ease, doesn't KO enemies with just a few body shots, all it does is pierce shields...Big whoop?
>holy fuck I LOVE driving through traffic somewhere and paying 20$ to the tired and sad gun shop wagie who will finger fuck my guns and check all my ammunition, to go inside a poorly ventilated and dimly lit room to shoot at paper targets, next to one of America's future doctors magdumping his muzzle brake'd "not real full auto, it's FRT" fully automatic 5.56 "not a real SBR, it's a pistol" SBR!Has anyone ever actually had a FANTASTIC experience at a public indoor gun range? It seems to me that it is literally not worth into guns as a pastime if you do not own your own land, or at least have access to a good public outdoor range.

No politics, no industrial feasibility or cancellation talk allowed.What is the logical military use case for a huge expensive "battleship" with 3x more displacement than a Ticonderoga and only a few more VLS cells? What advantage could it hold over Flight III Burkes, DDG(X), VPM SSNs, or an SSGN Columbia variant?>1. The core use case would be a large fast cruiser able to escort carriers at prolonged high speeds around the Pacific, in situations where conventional escorts and their oilers couldn't keep up, or would slow the carrier down with UNREP making for risky ASBM attack windows.This is reliant on it being nuclear powered, which isn't confirmed and makes it more expensive and industrially intensive. Perhaps the Navy has done the math and found that cruising around at an unbroken 35 knots is useful to increase the PLA's sea search volume or complicate ASBM kill chains. But it doesn't have that many VLS cells so it must rely on novel weapons as an escort to avoid magazine depletion. >continued

>>64679474looks like it. their website has been down for a while. I wish I'd picked up an extra, the one I have is great quality.
>>64678161Having a "special" 10/22 is a good goal. The older ones had metal butt plates, trigger gaurds, sling studs, mag releases, barrel bands, all plastic now, with the swivel studs cast right into the plastic stock. All that's ok, but. Nicer is nicer.T. Handled a new one yesterday.

A basic 10/22 is a solid gun but everyone ends up replacing parts - might as well cut out the middleman and build exactly what you want from scratch.

Any hunters on /k/?I've got some serious hunting related questions as of recently.>cop in a european city>hardly have to deal with LIVE wild animals because they're usually just roadkill as part of traffic accident protocolling>until 3 weeks ago when some asshat ran over and crushed a deer's hind legs, then left it crippled and suffering on the road>traffic already backing up because of it>get dispatched to kill/move the wounded animal>sure thing, chief>it was a disaster, still feel bad weeks laterWe're not trained in delivering finishing shots to wounded animals and it's usually not necessary because there are enough hunters in the surrounding counties at any time - until there aren't. Buddy wanted to use her service pistol, I argued for the AR because my logic was "bigger caliber = instant kill, no suffering".Neither of us are hunters and therefore opted for a headshot, which was a bad idea because apparently a deer's brain is really small and the brain stem even moreso.We know hunters usually just aim for the heart, but we looked at the deer and it was just smooth fur everwhere with no real indication where the heart was. It was an adult animal so the heart must've been bigger but unlike with a human torso, it was just a mass of fur. No fucking idea where to safely aim for the heart here?First shot to where the brain SUPPOSEDLY was (Google...) left if violently threshing for 10 seconds before settling down, then it started those rasping breaths and turned it's bleeding head looking at us which was fucked up and honestly pretty sad. We opted to try once more, she aimed for where the brain was and again, spazzing around and more breathing.

>>64680300>In his revisionist retelling of history, North Korea had strategically planned everything all alongNorth Korea literally started its nuclear program in the early 90's, right after the USSR broke up, and Kim Jong Il is multiple times on the record saying the nuclear weapons Korea possesses protects it from American aggression. The only revisionist here is you, and not only that, but you're extremely butthurt that your retarded version of the narrative isn't the one you read, so you had to resort to a bunch of retarded strawmen like "the Koreans were playing 5D chess". My retarded tranny friend, the Koreans played the most obvious and logical move; proliferate WMD deterrence to avoid being bullied like Iraq, and the ONLY reason they managed to do it is because the burgers were too busy elsewhere. They engaged in brinksmanship in 2010 and 2011, this wasn't retardation, this had a clear goal; don't fuck with us, we're ready to escalate dangerously. It was a "random" and unpredictable show of force that simulated a microcosm of what could happen to South Korea if anyone played any shenanigins, and it's part of a long pattern of them doing this kind of behavior, just this year the norks have ramped up border incursions dozensfold compared to last year, I never implied they Norks were sitting on their hands all this time, this is one of the retarded strawmen you pulled up, I only implied that they played their strategic cards right and that the US couldn't do anything (still can't) about it because it's busy elsewhere.

>>646804581994, Clinton administration was prepared to launch an invasion into North Korea but was stopped by Jimmy Carter cutting a deal with North Korea and also the South Korean president at the time opposed Seoul becoming shelled with North Korean rockets and artillery shells.The opposition comes mainly from South Koreans themselves, they do not want a war, they rather enjoy the status quo and look the other way when their own countrymen on the other side of border are getting massacred. Economy is more important in this mindset.
>>64680058Its a common misconception that you can just scale up a naval design. You can extend hull length. Once you mess with beam, you run into issues. Past a small margin calculations for stress etc go out the window, more so with a pressure hull. You end up having to design a new boat.
The general for discussing homemade and amateur firearmsLast thread: >>/64549287/I often see homemade firearms being constructed very crudely out of things like pipes, sheet metal, dremeled slabs of mystery meat steel, and all other sorts of things, but why is it that I don't often see homemade guns made by people who know what they're doing?A significant amount of homemade firearms I see are done as a hobby, and making a firearm takes someone who knows how to work with metal, but you dont often see them actually milling guns with a machine, pic rel.Or maybe those types of guns tend to be so well made that they arent usually distinguished as homemade?
>>64677842I don't know enough about revolvers to recognize a model they might be derived from. No factory .223 revolvers exist to my knowledge, that's just something native to Indonesia because of ammo availability, some gunsmith might have adapted online plans or guns he had examples of into specs for those and spread them around.>>64678102When I looked it wanted a bar of a specific thickness, the nutty9 is bleeding edge when it comes to ease of sourcing and building, hard to compare any other "bolt" to that bolt.
>>64678244FGC-9 using threaded hardware store stock is probably the cheapest easy to obtain still.
>>64659909They do, they just look like ars
Anyone ever figure out where this one can be found?
>>64679386Yeah, this concept of using bolts as weapon bolts brings me back. You know, they said it couldn't be done. I'm not the author of Nutty-9 but I do enjoy knowing that somewhere there is my handprint. Though this stuff seems to develop at snail's pace, it's been nearly ten years now.Speaking of which, the original plan of using ECM to make barrels was suggested to be used for making bolt faces as well. That and using bent leaf springs as extractors. It's not a hard to grasp concept, it's just that is considered a machine gun in US and thus can't catch on as a trend. But for Euro markets where this stuff is mostly illegal anyway, I see no reason to complicate things with firing mechanisms. It doesn't become more illegal by having open bolt mechanism. It just becomes less demanding. Food for thought I guess.
Let's say the US military decided to adopt a bullpup rifle. Do you think they could improve it to a point that it could surpass the AR15 platform? I get the impression that it's just a few innovations away from achieving that status. If they could make the triggers match the AR platform it would be difficult argue that it isn't superior.>inb4 slow reloads, etc.
>>64665247When the aussies picked up AUGs they loved them and started hitting loads of headshots because it was that much easier than with the SLR. Just putting that out there.

>>64679923>explode out of batteryGuns, outside of AR-15's, don't do that.
>>64679765>If you decide you need an 18" barrel, you can use an 18" barrel whether your gun is built forwards or backwards. The bullpup configuration lets you make the overall length shorter.What the fuck was the point of bringing up "conventional rifles"? No fucking shit you can a add longer barrel.

>The Special 2TL Type (特2TL型, Toku 2TL gata) was a class of auxiliary escort carriers built for the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. They were converted from Type 2TL tankers. It is also called the Yamashio Maru (山汐丸) class in some western sources.>Only the name ship was completed during the war and she was sunk by American aircraft before she could be used.>In 1944, the Japanese Army, which had already converted two passenger liners into combined assault ship and aircraft carriers, decided to acquire its own escort carriers to provide aerial anti-submarine cover for troop convoys. It therefore chartered two partly built Type 2TL Tankers, Yamashio Maru and Chigusa Maru, for conversion to auxiliary escort carriers.[1]>The conversion was extremely simple, with a 107-metre (351 ft 1 in)-long flush flight deck added. There was no hangar, the ship's eight Ki-76s being stored on deck. Defensive armament consisted of sixteen 25 mm anti-aircraft guns, with a depth charge projector forward.[2]>Yamashio Maru commissioned on 27 January 1945 and was sunk at Yokohama harbor by US aircraft on 17 February.[2][3] Plans were drawn up for conversion to a coal-burning freighter,[1] but she was never used as a carrier. Her sister ships, Chigusa Maru and Zuiun Maru, were incomplete when Japan surrendered and served after the war as tankers:[2]>Chigusa Maru was sunk in 1945. The ship was repaired as tanker in 1945 and scrapped in Sasebo in June 1963. Zuiun Maru was scrapped in Oskata on 15 June 1964.The IJA also previously built the Type A and Type C Aircraft Carriers, the latter seems to be the first amphibious assault ship made since its aircraft complement included autogyro rotorcraft
>>64676862It really isn’t.That’s just about equal to a typical carrier based dive or torpedo bomber.Except a carrier can launch dozens of bombers + fighter escort. An I-400 has three.That long-range raid mentioned earlier? Twenty four bombers, each with a larger payload plus kamikaze pilots, and they only damaged a single small carrier. Three or even nine aren’t going to be capable of much more, while also requiring a 6500 ton displace submarine + crew.
>>64676878I think you're legitimately retarded, the advantage of three submarine launched bombers is that they can attack from unexpected directions in unexpected areas, with minimal chance of interception. A carrier is a big surface target that can be spotted by recon hundreds of kilometers away, it can't sneak up through any basically competent surface search blanket. Its strike projections and vectors also come from predictable directions and are usually large enough to be easily picked up on radar unlike 3 floatplanes.

The post managed to tie all things mentioned to payload size, while also bringing up earlier arguments.
