>>64687632Fab Defense has a railed upper, although it's kinda janky. Seems like most "railed" upper handguards only have a top rail.
>>64688030Nah if I remember correctly it was super high def
>>64687986>implore you to research KochevnikBelieve me, that was my first option but the reproductions aren't made anymore and I can't find any used. I spoke to a Chinese retailer about the model TWI used to make. TWI sold off the rights to another company, FCW, that has repeatedly pushed the preorder delivery date back over the course of a year. They're now expecting a summer 2026 delivery date. AFAIK there aren't any US distributors planning on importing them so you have to do it yourself if they ever deliver.
>>64687914I see the vision, add a pic rail to the rear sight and then add a riser for the optic clearance, or just get a dust cover that come with a pic rail already. Not sure on the LAM, but you can always get some hose clamps and attach to the carry handle? Not up to date on AK suppressors, but is there one that comes with a built-in pic rail for a LAM?
>>64623825Idk about money, but as far as I am concerned, FB Radom has other priorities right now and they don't really give a shit about civillian sales domestic or foregin. They don't really make Beryls for civillian market at all anymore. Here in Poland Beryl S has sold out completley and has been out of stock everywhere for a while now.
38 spl is the best example. It can be shortened to the length of 380 acp but it's not. And after all the changes in service rifle cartridges, I refuse to believe 9 mm is still the best pistol round. Nobody is interested in inmaxed calibers like 5.7 or 30 super carry because they cost more money because nobody is interested in them because they cost more. Like a perpetual motion machine.
>>64685299>Let's just throw out a good track record because it's long.
>>64688714Do you also think that .357 Magnum has no benefit with snubs?
>>64688714>otherwise the gases and pressure/energy are wasted flamewise out the muzzleSo recently there has been fashion to add ports and straight up recoil compensators to handguns, but only for real popular shit like 9mm. It might take a revolutionary Joe Noname, running a Noname Supercop Shooting Competition School for cops that can't aim good, to realize that blaster rounds having a large muzzle pressure is actually good for comps. There was even a dyed in the wool wildcat based on 10mm, the 9x25 Dillon, that proved that recoil impulse can push muzzle down instead of up, but it was killed by pf rule change very soon after its introduction. So I hope we are gonna see the legendary Noname special, just like the guitar amp dude, but comp is going to be useful this time.Maybe in 40 Super, since it meets following criteria:1. Starts with a 4, making it qualify for major pf2. BLASTER3. Small primers, so you can actually find primers that don't cost as much as a loaded 9mm round4. Starline has brass5. Barsto has barrels6. Redding has dies

>Make a commercial>It's all about horsesGlock please no please don't do this I put up with enough teasing from the other guys calling me "Cum Rustler" and "Stallion Milker" and a bunch of other djumb shit at the range I can't take this I'm going to cry. This isn't fucking funny my pride as a glock owner is on the line

>>64689070>my pride as a glock ownerWhat pride?Or did you mean it in the sense of "gay pride"?
you just know

>>64688394It was malicious, the charging docket's official claimed version of events was literally self defense without saying the words. They explicitly stated in it that rittenhouse had been chased by the armed mob(of which rosenbaum was a member) before they caught up to him and he fired. They were armed with metal bludgeons(mostly sign posts) and members of the mob were firing guns while chasing him.Binger not being prosecuted is the great miscarriage of justice here
>>64688790>explicitly stated in it that rittenhouse had been chased by the armed mobBut I remember Binger arguing that they were trying to lawfully apprehend him because he had been pointing his AR-15 at them throughout the night
>>64688907That was what we in the legal field call a "lie".
>>64666833the unusual (cloud 9) coldsnap cap i unboxed for 2 bucks during the crate depression was worth $25 back then, and is worth $77 now.I haven't played in over a year, but i'll probably keep my items until the servers go down.

Can someone tell me what the rings are? are they some sort of sabot or are they just there for shipping/storage purposes?
>>64689094cock rings
>>64689094I thought those were extra powder charges to adjust the range of the mortar round
Would a sleeve gun actually be viable in real life?
>>64688821I mean it is theoretically the fastest way to draw and gun
>>64688868Or you could just stick a snubbie in your pocket and be already holding it
>>64688416Security for actual VIPs use prosthetic arms.

Finland still uses costal artillery, thoughts?
>>64687699The Finnish 152mm Canets were deeply modified even by the time Winter War happened to the extent they were even used as anti-air artillery. After the war they were nearly universally too badly damaged (either from enemy fire or from barrels being too worn) to use so Finns essentially rebuilt them from scratch. 1960s guns had very little in common with the original ones and it's role was fully replaced by 1980s by the new 130mm guns, they just kept the 152mm ones in places where the 130mm didn't directly replace the locations of old ones.

How does this change the global balance of power now that the US has closed the hypersonic missile gap?

I thought the Orangina was pulling out of europe?
>>64689047Yes, but this time it's USA that's the ailing giant, desperate to pretend they still got it. I mean, what'a with that name? Dark Eagle? So scawwy...
What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
my glock :)
>>64685949>faggot cannot stop being a glutton for punishment just shoot more and your opinions wont suck. crazy how that works.
>>64688703Lol, awesome. I figured it wouldn't take them long but man that was fast.
>>64688713if that's the case you'd better hurry up and buy your first firearm you fuckin faggot bitch. fuck you. fuckin god damn homophiliac.

If an air force pilot has been shot down by a sam, and the helicopter sent to recover that pilot has in turn been shot down by a manpad,what is the procedure from there?
>>64688067>manpadMANPADSS stands for System. It's not a plural.
>>64688067Send another pilot, surely he wont be shot down
>>64688067Humvee rush
>>64688067pararescue with HALO drop if SAM are comfirmed destroyed by an other plane then move away from the crash area on foot with the pilot to either join on nearby friendly units or get a new LZ with helo extraction, if not then it's SF troops that will do a ground insertion in the search area and proceed to find the pilots using whatever is available to them.
>>64688102That's only if they were in on the Bin Laden "raid"
Why was the Longbow in use for literally 300 years when it simply could not penetrate armor? I have watched several experiments with modern reproductions and never once has it achieved penetration of plate armor. In this latest one they can't even pen at point-blank range a late medieval brigandine and cheap Sallet helmet which was worn by poorfag troops. Rich nobles wore high-end bespoke plate made from tempered steel with every surface calculated to deflect blows and it would have zero chance against that. The amount of training that went into using the bow doesn't seem worth the results.https://youtu.be/SFFgcTzCvMo
>>64684834>Commoners can afford it>They can shoot a bunch of arrows into other commoners, who don't have complete armor and will take losses>They can force opposing men at arms to bunch up so badly they lose to your men at arms>They can still fight effectively in melee when the time comes>The English are generally retarded and CANNOT let go of traditions, so they retained the longbow long after it it stopped being useful
>>64684834Legs, face, forearm/hands were unarmoured on regular soldiers, see tods video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFFgcTzCvMo But then you might ask why the english used very heavy drawweight bows when 40-60 lb drawweight would be enough to wound the unarmoured body parts. It is also a kind of area denial weapon, i read one example that the romans had to lift a siege of a gallic town in the war against vercingetorix because the gauls had bowmen who prevented the romans to build siege engines/equipment. Whereas the gauls had no or not enough archers in the siege of alesia and thus the romans succeeded.Its always a good option to be able to hit from a distance, even if its not very powerful.
>>64687672Nigger, most normalfags have a grossly exaggerated opinion of the crossbow as some kind of armour piercing superweapon.Longbows have existed since prehistory in Europe, for thousands of years they were a very important weapon.
It's official now. The longbow meme has finally died.
I think Todd also did a shield penetration test, or someone who similarly followed a good experiment design with high quality material accurate reproductions, and the results were arrows going through 12"+ which would easily strike the arm or hand or body when held in a strapped configuration. The result of all these tests is that anyone in less that full plate would be consistently vulnerable to archery and crossbows up until firearms took president on the battlefield.
Thoughts about Baofeng radios?
>>64688983$100 - $150 more on a good day. You'd actually have a harder time finding one that doesn't already have AES-256 since almost all of the ones you can find are surplus>inb4 but muh chinkshit is cheaper
>>64688851>>64688815Yea, but that's what communication specialists do. They construct a station at the command center, maintain it and pass messages. This is probably useful information to a degree, but again, we're mostly interested in what a single person or a squad can do. Half of these people are not in any armed forces and even if they were they wouldn't be asking for help on a forum. Diamond x50a is not a practical solution for this. A wire antenna is practical because you can construct that on the field and it doesn't weigh or take space. We're not talking about paramilitary communications here but there are parallels in practicality. If you were to use a radio in a real emergency situation you would want to hear people from a great distance and communicate with them. If the distance it can communicate is same as between a cellphone and the next cell tower then that obviously doesn't work for them... they would just call 911. I'm interested in what I can do with radios if I were not to use a cellphone, and so is the next guy. Ug think big antenna good. Short antenna bad. Big antenna not fit in pocket, Ug not like. Big wire antenna fit in pocket, Ug put wire antenna on tree branch. Wire antenna now big antenna. Ug call home. Where Ug buy wire antenna for DM-32UV?
>>64688996So double the price. So two people can have Ailunces versus one guy with a Moto. Radios are about communicating with other people.
>>64689020stay retarded I guess
>>64689028>Hamboomer trying to price people out of AES-256 to appease his FCC daddy, 2025, colorizedAnd he's got nothing better than a sad little ad hom. lol
Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
>>64688652Yes. Every manual from every manufacturer has literal pages of that shit, and it's often repeated multiple times throughout the manual.
any acog owners have any info they can provide about the sight being hard to make out in bright environments? looking to get one for a scar 17 (and likely still will) but curious to know what I'm in for
>>64688917If you're using it with the fiber optic you will have no problem. A lot of people will actually put electrical tape to partially or completely darken the fiber optic.
>>64689031I had seen the trick with electrical tape mentioned before, just didn't really like the idea of having to fiddle with something like that if I didn't have to good to know it's less of an issue than I had made it out to be in my head though, will play it by ear (eye?) - thanks chief
>>64689066Ye, get you an LED COG or that $2000 mega cog that has a fiber optic adjustment wheel if you're not keen on the electrical tape. Personally, I never felt the need to mask it.
was the P 26/40 comparable in performance and role to a Panzer IV or even a Panther?

>>64687016Japan has always had better industry than Italy
>>64687125If only she installed the scorpion rocket.
>>64687001didn't they use machine guns with tracer rounds during the night battle in the jungle against the jap school in das finale?
>>64687125At least they aren't complete jobbers in Ribbon Warrior
USSOCOM Replaces EOTech Sights With EOTech Sights
>>64688278Eotechs had a thermal drift issue that came to light in 2016. They could shift as far as 4MOA from a room temp zero if exposed to the extremes of -40F or 122F degrees. Not a real issue for 99.9% of private users but a problem for a SOCOM optic. The issue has been fixed in models designed after this was found, but the gun community loves to take and hold hyperbolic stances. Eotechs have less battery life than Aimpoints. Modern Eotechs say they have 1000 hours at setting 12, though the anecdotes commonly say it is closer to 600. That's not nothing, but it does mean you have to stay on top of it compared to Aimpoints with their five digit battery lives. Eotechs are pretty sturdy. Obviously you can find examples of destroyed ones- stuff gets destroyed in combat, but they aren't especially fragile. For a special operations CCO they work well with NODS and magnifiers so not the worst choice as long as you stay on top of the battery situation, which I'm sure SOCOM thinks they can manage
>>64688337Well wasn't there also an issue with delamination a few years back? I haven't heard anything since so it may be like the AUGsplosions and a result of coof-era quality
>>64687864They're replacing EXPS 3s with M231s, Apparently USSOCOM didn't know that Eotech made a version meant for MUH GUBMMINT. Can't blame them. Trijicon and Aimpoint sells the same crap they sell to the military to the people.
>>64687864Imagine resigning the guys you sued and settled with lol.
>>64688337Source on it being fixed?
