Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.

the dude interviewed says he saw lots of drones before the helis came. they may have used those to find all the guards and then shoot sonic weapons at them from the helis which incapacitates them even in cover
does anyone have a link to the interview?

Hello everybody, Bonkanon here. Today we'll be making a morning star from exotic African hardwoods.Most of the materials are in picrel. Wenge for the head and shaft (hehe), a piece of black-and-white ebony for the handle, and some African Blackwood for handle accents & pommel.

>>64747696>Id assume that you could sand your way out of a rough cut.Yeah, it's just tedious. I really want to try the cupped type of carbide insert that >>64746388mentioned. That should give a positive rake to the cutting edge which would give a more knife-like cut, closer to HSS.Something else I want to try is to deliberately create that rough splintery grain texture and then fill it in with a contrasting color--maybe a pigmented grain filler or dyed epoxy--and then go back and scrape or sand it smooth. That might look interesting.>>64747701Lol, no garb, sorry.

What tools for self defense would you recommend for someone in Europe to have when shit goes down. There are black powder revolvers shotguns and rifles, but you can't buy them everywhere in Europe. There are crossbows and bows but what is really their capacity to defend, and of course air rifles, in some countries they are unrestricted in some countries they are cucked and they are a hassle to have around in the case of an emergency. Better yet what should everybody own, not just weapons, in case they want to survive more than 72 hours.

>>64742701Fucking Kiloguns is using ~$100 in parts to do three position AK FRT installs, charging $550, and he admitted that they lock/bind up if you pull the trigger hard. When I pressed him on that he claimed that a system which doesn't require some feathering is an actual machine gun so that it is actually a feature as opposed to a bug that his $550 three position AK FRT installs will bind because that way they stay legal!>>64745240>autistic about push button vs switchIt isn't even autism it is common sense to try to replicate mil spec functionality and objectively superior ergonomics/mechanics.

Hey /k/, favor to ask. I have to run a quick errand, mind keeping an eye on this Horton Ho 229 for me? I'll be back in 30, 40 minutes tops. While I'm gone, don't you mess with my Horton ok? OK. Thanks.

>what are you playing right now?>what are your favourite /k/ certified video games? I'll start, I've been recently playhing Read Or Not and as someone who played SWAT 4 back when it came out, I've enjoyed it so far
>>64747289they can also pull out grenades when they're woundedprob my goty for 2025 honestly, supports different playstyles and the world has a cool feeling despite (sometimes because of) the sparse art and it feels very baroque influenced too.
>>64747297The fact that I can play super cautious taking shots and tossing grenades around cover OR just slide and air dash into point-blank with a shotgun and magnum is great. I just finished act 3 and that first level in the water world with all the dead angels was honestly kinda beautiful.
>>64738144It doesn't help that pretty much everything you go up against is something that a far-right schizo conspiracy is based around.
>>64745491What the fuck are you actually talking about, Swat 4 had nothing like what you describe and presentation wise it had a big, thick layer between the reality of a situation and what you actually see. The domestic terrorists who wanted to bomb a hotel because they didn't want a corporation owning a historical building. The anti-abortion activists shooting up a stem cell research lab. And all the goons wearing hockey masks and reused cartoony faces. The maps had good environmental design but SWAT4 clearly had a shitload of generic bad guys with no depth whatsoever.What does "doing something with it" even fucking mean. Doing what, cutscenes of judge crying?
>>64733831Daily reminder it is entirely possible to do a non lethal takedown playthrough of SWAT4 using 9mm FMJ.
>weighs less than other 9mm>has lighter recoil spring than other 9mm>slide pulls back with minimal effort>yet has less recoil than other 9mmsExplain that shit right now what sort of fuckin magic is this
>>64745774I shot one not too long ago and was surprised to find it was a SAO internal hammer instead of a striker. I wonder if that makes it easier for the slide to rack somehow.>>64745792Because it's designed for arthritic women to be able to load and it's got those tabs on the side of the follower like a Ruger Mark IV.
>>64748757But why can't arthritic women just load 8 rounds into a 15 round mag?
>>64748757>I wonder if that makes it easier for the slide to rack somehow.Yes it does, since the hammer is always cocked that's one less thing to resist when racking. And the geometry of the slide and hammer can be adjusted so that cocking the hammer provides most of the necessary resistance to the slide when firing, using the hammer itself as a sort of lever-delay system. This is handy because the slide has the least amount of leverage at the start of the cycle where you want the most resistance, and increasing leverage towards the end of the cycle where you a little more margin for error for reliability. This is a common thing to do when tuning a 1911, the amount of bevel on the bottom of the firing pin plate has a huge impact on what recoil spring you need.
>>64748929The Shield EZ magazine has finger tabs that protrude outside the magazine tube (like you commonly see on .22's) that you can pull down to make it even easier to get cartridges into the magazine. Doing that with a double stack magazine would make it even wider and unwieldy for grandma's arthritic hands.
>>64749005Meaning it's MUCH easier to load 8 rounds into the Shield EZ's magazine than it is to load 8 rounds into a normal high-cap double stack magazine. It really does handle as easily as a .22 pistol, but shoots 9mm. And even then the recoil is soft as fuck. It really is an amazing bit of engineering.
>the FBI didnt just switch to 9mm because its cheaper and let more people(women) qualify! The bullets are just better than .40 or .45!>sure we compared it to watered down .40 and .45 with bad bullet design that we used because it let women and manlets qualify...but but its better it is!Idk why the FBI is the basis for peoples choice in personal defensive weapons when their criteria is letting female detectives not limp wrist jam glawks in the incredibly rare shootouts they have, but be my guest i suppose
9mm is cheaper so you could be paying less taxes.
>>64748684At my range 50 rounds of 357 and 9mm come at the same price Except 357 is more fun.
