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?
>>64673632I had a similar sorta idea but it would be a FCU similar to the sig p320,Ruger rxm, and Kel tec p11 that you could just put together with screws and place in a frame
>>64674435You would need to sell rougher blanks also gaytf making 80%s being serialized. Overall diminishing returns and then I use a 0% 1.75mm plastic filament on a spool to make a 100%
>>64673779There are alot of kurds in Japan, it would be for protection and fun to plink with, we'll live 2 hours from Tokyo in an area close to the forest. It's illegal AF but I trust my wife not to snitch on me but I still wouldn't let her know, specially my in-laws.
>>64673686I'm not sure what's available in Japan but there should be ramset blanks. Failing that flare cartridges sometimes have salvageable primers, pest control cartridges, theatrical blanks maybe cap gun caps if one was desperate.
>>64674792It still seems like a “juice not worth the squeeze“ situation.Japan also seems to be tough on crime, especially for foreigners.A crossbow or a fucking sword seems like a more sensible idea.
Do freighters have any fucking defenses against being boarded by helicopters? I mean they have to have some small arms or maybe a mounted machine gun or some sort of AA battery right to defend against piracy?Are you really telling me like a small fire team of troops can takeover a freighter?
>>64664058we know when the Indians leave their own ports using sensors found on the other side of the Pacific. We've got every ship of the Chinese navy tracked, and that includes the fishing vessels with fire hoses. we are perfectly capable of watching every single ship that comes out of Venezuelan ports even if their transponders are claiming they're four hundred miles to the west.
>>64674499No. I can't think of any instance in which the word Fucking could be used as either an adjective or adverb and not be capitalized, let alone as a strong verb. It's just not even possible in my mind and I would question anyone that doesn't capitalize it for strength.
>>64674275You don't Fucking get it! The USians are being Fucking mean to brown people!
US Coast Guard lacks forces to seize Venezuela-linked tankerhttps://www.reuters.com/world/americas/us-eyes-additional-coast-guard-assets-seize-fleeing-tanker-sources-say-2025-12-24/Kek! What fucking happened friends!? The Coast Guard ain't gots the qualications to carry out these tanker seizures! Ain't got the qualications! How can you blockade if you can't even stop the ships?
>>64664058Anon, ships are large and hard to camouflage against spy sattelites. Although it woulld probably looks real fucking kino if someone tried it anyways.

>>64674846>An anon in here claimed he was in the latter stage of developing one with plans to sell it.yeah, waiting to hear back from the ATF on their classification. may be a few months, nobody knows the real timeline. people ive met are saying it will take minimum two months. i've had the completed version for over a year at this point.no idea what system the pic in >>64674857 will be but i doubt it will be the one i have come up with. almost every pistol is using the same exploit. barrel tilt into trigger reset, which sucks. so likely they will as well. also mines selectable.I have medium-larger companies already ready to jump on it but they want ATF's OK first. a lot of the smaller shops seem to be not asking any questions and just going for it. also mine is very reliable, compared to other pistol FRT's where the reset doesnt always happen.i'll ask if they are cool with video drops.
>>64675159well that's exciting, I would actually pick up a sig if this works well
>>64675159Recently got 2 320s. Don't know how old they are though so I'll probably have to send them in to SIG for upgrades. Very interested in this trigger, might pick up a flux kit too
more 3 round burst footagehttps://x.com/tryhard_joe/status/2003865354628649341#m
>>64675159>waiting to hear back from the ATF on their classificationWhy?! Why are people still doing this boomerfud shit? You know if it's an FRT it's not something that is ambiguous. And even if the BEFAT division sends you a letter saying it probably isn't a MG according to current understanding or whatever bureaucrat weasel language they decide on come 2029 all that shit will be out the window. People have a few years to make as many FRTs as humanly possible without fed interference, the only real obstacle is how fast raregreed's paper mill can churn out the paper they'll print their bullshit lawsuits on. The ATF won't touch them again during this term because having to return the FRTs they stole was massively humiliating, and they don't want FRTs anywhere near SCOTUS.
Paul never used red dots or really any kind of optic. Was he right/wrong?I also miss Paul on another note.
>>64671730Paul was obviously good at a lot of different things and in my experience shooting the same gun with a red dot and irons I shoot tighter groups with a dot, but a lot of the main benefits of a red dot, ie being faster, having both eyes open, being able to be used in all lighting conditions, parallax free are unrelated to the fact that Paul won a bunch of shooting competitions that were, I'm assuming, based on accuracy
>>64668600Paul also swore up and down you only needed a Kahr .40 shit and weak subcompact for HD, CC, and everything in between, and if you owned anything other than a double barrel 20 gauge and durr rifle, you're a mall ninja who's going to kill everybody around you.
>>64671730He sure took a lot of heat down range cleaning teeth, lmao.
>>64675266>Paul also swore up and downNo he didn't. You're just conflating him with people you don't like who obviously made you feel insecure or attacked by your gun choices
>>64675266Jesus Christ just kill yourself
what 10/22 should i get? i like the wood carbine with iron sights but the slick one with receiver rail looks cool too. will i miss not having iron sights? is there any accuracy advantage to stainless barrel?
>>64673082front heavy and probably not a good mount point
>>64668892I'm looking for a lightweight, high quality barrel for a Fletcher RW 11/22 which isn't threaded because I live in a commie state. Anyy suggestions? I was thinking Kidd. I want it to match the receiver's color btw (black anodized).
Any thoughts on rugers with integrally suppressed barrels? Seen some interesting stuff and with the tax stamp going away would be more interestedhttps://www.tacticalsol.com/pac-lite-iv-tss-barrels-integrally-suppressed/
Are the new ruger marks blued like the old ones?
>>64673428The only things that come to mindα: Having a detachable silencer obviously means it's not married to one gun (pic related) and you can still achieve a slick look (pic related)2: The tube is made of aluminum, which means you won't be cleaning it easily with dip or ultrasonic, though depending on what kind of titanium the baffles are made of you may be able to clean them harshlyC: Looks like it uses K baffles which are 1980s tech, not great not horribleOtherwise they look cool. If you already have a .22 silencer, an integral barrel is a sweet addition to the lineup, otherwise you're hamstringing yourself by not having one that's detachable imo

I can’t wait to open my box which smells like chewing gum.
I'm sorry anon, the smaller package arrived early and I had no idea what it was so I opened it, not realizing it was a se/k/ret santa. I'm excited to see what you stuffed in there. Also this new captcha is aids
>>64675313At least it isn’t wait two minutes and align the letters anymore. My highest post volume nowadays is split between /soc/ ads and this event so it’s not too bothersome for me.
the Russian Army has deployed the use of horses
>>64672571Why are you watching footage of Ukainians killing Russians then?
>>64672110Absolutely amazing
>>64666194It is very established that the bolsheviks were mostly jewish early on. They then went on the run much of the terror operation imvolved in keeping dissidents in line.They were uniquely literate at the time because their religion teaches them to read early in life. While the average peasant couldn't read a telegram or letter with orders or send a report back.There is pictures of them and it looks like hundreds of rabbis gathered in orthodox jewish attire.

Deep modernization of the Ukrainian ZSU-23-4 Shilka to -4M-A1 variant made by the Ukrainian charity foundation
>>64672076they basically threw out all of the internals and replaced them with modern shit
>>64668803It works fine against attack planes. Fuck Skyhawks gonna do?
>>64665534Russia sent some in early in the war and then promptly abandoned them thanks to bad logistics, I remember a video of Ukrainian partisans setting a half dozen of parked ones on fire
>>64673700Those were tunguskas of you're talking about what I think you are.Though he too has been conspicuously absent other than the video of Russians bitching to tsar about all their tanguskas being broken.>16 2K22M1 Tunguska: (1, destroyed) (2, 3, 4 and 5, abandoned and later destroyed) (6, abandoned and later destroyed) (7, destroyed) (8, destroyed) (9, destroyed) (10, destroyed) (11, destroyed) (12, destroyed) (1, damaged) (2, damaged) (1, damaged and abandoned) (1, captured)Well I guess they must be doing something somewhere but I haven't seen it.
>>64673700Those were Tunguskas (lol).
How will the USS Donald defend itself in a naval conflict against China’s VLS/UAV/UMV spam? Seems like a bigger hull is not beneficial in modern naval operations.
>>64672550By nuking Nanjing as a warning.
>>64673421>quad-packed SM-2 and 3 equivalents and 9 packed ESSM equivalents.what fantasy is this, the chinese haven't even quadpacked ESSM equivalents in their fat fuck vls cell
>>64673374Ok but what's the point of building a battleship when armor plating is useless anyway and a well-placed missile can sink any ship without the cannons being able to do anything about it?That's a shitty idea no matter how you look at it, they would have been better off building a mobile missile platform, it's just as useless but at least it's scary
>>64672550By never being built (you can grift more money away from the DoD that way).
>>64673374>lasersOnly against the kind of drones that will never get into range anyways.Good fucking luck shooting down a missile, hypersonic or otherwise with a kilowatt range laser. It's not going to work.
Now that the dust has settled, what is the /k/onsensus on the MiG-23?
>>64674020Does matter what you say to him, because his mind was already made up since 24 February 2022.
>>64674020>So I guess the Flogger pilot who's memoirs I read was just flat out lying, huh?Probably. The memoirs of the soviet test pilot i read contained bitching about it being such a worthless and atrocious deathtrap that it kept eating their super trained test pilots like flies in about half the pages about it. Probably the most difficult to recover from deathspins in a soviet plane ever, and you could easily enter into one in vastly different maneuvers depending on the wing angle configuration. Also some of the worst visibility from a postwar soviet plane on top of it all.
>>64674246STFU vatnik vermin.
>>64674724Sounds like one group were typical slav(e)ic peanutbrains with no regard whether they live or die (they're in hell anyway), while the other group were hyperfocused autismos who understood that "exceeding these parameters will result in a departure from controlled flight" means exceeding these parameters will result in a departure from controlled flight. I mean the one thing consistent with homo sovieticus is their complacency, and treating rules written in blood, and safety tolerances written in kabooms as optional guidelines that only apply in ideal conditions (i.e. on parade or inspection when Comrade Minister is watching).
>>64674724The American pilots that tested it said it had two saving graces. Tremendous acceleration and sheer straight line speed at low altitude. The latter becoming a concern for F-111 crews. As for the plane overall, in the words of one test pilot "he flew like the plane was trying to kill him at any moment."
EDC? i think so
>>64667893What a downgrade, the nipple/trigger is the best part.
>>64673769HOW MANY COMPANIES ARE BEING COMMISSIONED FOR THIS?

>>64673681They are, but anyone with a 3 digit IQ has already realized they need to leave India and stop being culturally Indian ASAP. The best thing a "smart" Indian can do is claim to be from a country Americans don't know anything about and train their accent away.
>>64673667Why does this keep happening?
>>64673667does their continued survival depend on it? if not, then there's not enough pressure to select for competence.
How were these used? As a big axe with pointy bits or as a spear with a bit more versatility?
>>64674556Absolutely, but it's better to have redundancies, and the drummer needs to get his orders too.>>64674611>Such a thing did not exist as city guards of that era were uniformed soldiers, utilizing the same same equipment as on the battlefieldThat depends highly on the location and the time period.Most cities would have a militia that served as law enforcement, and depending on how it was organized they would have to buy their own equipment using personal or public funds.
>>64674265Spear better
>>64674650>Wears armorSpearfags btfo.
>>64674611>The differentiation between town guards and soldiers is mostly a fabrication of fantasy literatureAre you fucking retarded?
>>64674659Don't call people retards on christmas.As>>64674635said, it depends. Many cities would have the same militia work as town guard at peace and military force at war.
