what are some memory holed wars?Did you know the US invaded the Dominican Republic in 1965 with around 22,500 troops, 100 M48 Pattons, over 1000 combat air sorties. There was heavy fighting where around 60 Marines and 82nd Airborne troops died with 400 wounded.
>>64745696Every US occupation of Haiti. No one even thinks about Haiti.
>>64746043Haiti is a complete lost cause. Why does anyone even bother.
>>64746984I think Haiti would be a fine place to send the worst and most hateful of America's Blacks.They cold help out with the food shortage down there. The warlord runs Haiti is an admitted cannibal name Barbeque.
>>64745696>Did you knowno i didnt
>>64745696I remember that war, Sweden had sold some old landsverk pzkw38 clones to the Dominican Republic, where they were used by dominican niggers to fire across the Haitian border to keep the more niggerous haitian ultra bluegums away. The bluegums have done raids across the border for two hundred years and that was standard operating procedure by the dominican armed forces. These tanks were all destroyed in the fighting.
>EWAR will easily counter drones. It's only a problem for the unprepared and the poor. How to counter fiber optics?
Can you weave that shit and bake it into a ceramic for plates? Trying to find the money idea here to be a fiber goblin. In the end, I jus luv me fibers.
>>64748155Reality: there will be enough hard kill counter measures only for 1% of troops.
>>64748125It's a self-correcting problem because over time the fiber lines from old drones build up into a net that new drones are unable to penetrate.
>>64748258>sends out drones carrying buckets of resin to encase you under a layer of fiber(optic)glasscheckmate
why didn't the vector catch on?
>>64748044(in auto/forced reset around 1,200rpm) The bolt cycles downward and that inertia really does help with reducing muzzle rise compared to a .45 simple blowback auto ump45 or greasegun that have a slower rate of fire.Still more muzzle rise and recoil than my FRT AP5 with a rof around 900rpmAnd in semi the "super-v" system doesn't really do shit.>>64748051No just one part, the sear. Have to take apart the trigger pack, replace the sear and put it all back together.I've been using the "RATL-R" sear successfully but it's sensitive to trigger pull for legality, if you pull the trigger too hard it reverts to semi and the success window is pretty small (gay and retarded)They just released the "MAMBA" sear a few days ago, that one should have a stronger reset and near zero sensitivity (hopefully eliminating the gay and retarded aspect)
>>64748060The barrel being below the top of the hand adn inline with the shoulder is where the controllability comes from. The whole downward moving bolt thing is just a necessary step for getting enough bolt travel without having the bolt hit the hand.
>convoluted shit in a caliber that doesn't benefit from it
>>64747508This is the epiphany of the 45 apc. Put anything more into it and you'll be building around a sub sonic round round that begins to drop like a rock after 100 yards so fast you'll never look back.
>>64747223Look at it, you tell me.
There's a letter from Teddy Roosevelt that says he likes peep sights, but I cannot find a single example of a rifle he owned and used that has peep sights. I've seen an 1894 Winchester that the NRA has or had that has factory sights and a can he used for shooting varmints in his yard on long island so the neighbors couldn't hear (even more based because it was an 1894 and not an 1892 like a normal person, I guess Teddy wanted to feed those gophers .30-30). Cody in Wyoming has or had his 1895 winchester from Africa and that has factory open sights. Pic related is his bubba'd up 1903 with what looks like Winchester sights.There's an 1895 Winchester with a peep that was in a rock island and NRA article, but when you look into it it was a gift he gave to some other officer from the rough riders and not a gun he shot himself. there's an 1886 that was presented to him from winchester for the Africa trip but he never brought it with him so idk if he used it. There's a hawkens rifle that belonged to Kit Carson so I'd assume Kit Carson put on the sights and Teddy didn't add sights to some other famous guy's gun (though that would be based)
the bottom is the woodchuck eliminator 9,000. I'm assuming the top, also with open sights, was his because its in .45-90
>>64748218>“Basically it tells you about the life of Theodore Roosevelt,” explains Senior Curator Phil Schreier (in photo above in coat). “Hunter, Statesman, Soldier. In the first case we had two firearms from his hunting career. First an 1886 Winchester rifle known as the tennis match gun because he used winnings from a tennis match to purchase the gun.”lmao
>>64748212>bubba'd up 1903It was a purpose-built sporting rifle made to Roosevelt’s order.
>>64748212He couldve always, ya know, had peep sights installed on something. Not everyone keeps things bone stock, even 130 years ago
>>64748363all 4 rifles itt are ones he owned and shot and they are in whatever config he left them in when he died
>3D Printed GunsWhat are the best filaments you guys are using for frames and gun parts? Is it still PLA + or are the different carbon/glass infused filaments better?What are you guys printing?
>>64748239Drill press+hydraulic bottle jack are cheap and enough for a rifled barrel. .22 nail blanks also exist.
>>64748296Why wouldn't you just buy a percussion revolver though? They're cheap and legal everywhere. And if something happens the only suspect cops will have will be general Custer
>>64745609>petg is LE BADIn the context of maxing guns? Okay. But outside of that no.Its top tier stuff for things like springs and roller bearings.That being said, how come no one is designing guns based around PC as a baseline? Its the optimal plastic for firearms on a 3d printer.>stiff>minimal creeping>high impact resistance>excellent layer adhesion (mogs PLA)>high temp resistance
>>64748239>can't solve complex problem with single applianceGuess you're right
>>64748280>>64748296>>64748328>>64748333Yeah it's over
I just spent forever (fucking weeks) trying to buy fully legal parts for an AR15 in Washington so I made www.compliantarms.com over the weekend to make it easier for others.It aggregates AR15 parts listings that will ship to Washington from a few of the biggest firearms sites. For example, the only PSA listings on there are complete uppers since for whatever reason that’s all they’ll send.Have seen others having problems finding websites that ship as well so I figure it’s needed but do you guys think I should expand it to more states and more categories?
>>64741421somebody's gotta be the test case, but it's not gonna be me, get incendiary ammo too while they're at it, api looks like fun.
Please do NJ anon.
>>64736987I always wanted to try wv, but gfs family is near Albany so looks like I may be heading in the wrong direction>>64732482Jeez for some reason I was thinking that only applied to ars and aks, probably because that's all I ever see.
>>64747238yeah, you'd see the hi-peezy more often in cities but nowadays you need a stamp on your handgun loicense to get semi-auto rifles so anyone who gets one tends to go straight for an ar/ak instead

Post your most interesting, cool or weird uniforms and kits. Pic related isBengal troops uniforms during colonial period.
>>64745162The warrior caste was an actual warrior caste back then, but they were a literal caste. Meaning they took all the same luxuries over the lesser castes that the Brits did over everyone. The issue here is that this led to those same guys hating the Anglos and being the point men on a lot of the rebellions because the Brits treated them as one homogenous group below them, when they didn't do that internally and consequently took tremendous offense to being treated that way. Frankly, the British retardation and arrogance caused them to lose India, and the other colonies. Think about an Empire that controlled half of the world but somehow couldn't make it solvent purely because they refused to understand you can't make a duck into a canary, and that no matter how many lines you draw on a map the people in those boxes will forever hate you for having done that. What they viewed as organization (peace) just caused more violence. Sure, you can't expect to be egalitarian and talk your way into perfect harmony, but they genuinely wanted no part in diplomacy due to their chauvinism. The "We have the Maxim Gun" motto is precisely what I mean. You can't pretend you're good at anything when your default position is just killing all the locals and being surprised they hate you, and then getting mad that they refuse to work with you because you killed them all.
>>64742346Weird American uniform
>>64745150A fairly fictional take on them, since that sort of Balkan clothing style with poofy pants or knives tucked into one's belt never reached that far north.Like the dudes here (historical, but 1600s), imagery of Janosik (folklore, but the dude dies in early 1700s), etc.The person who drew it would have had to encounter these people in a south European theatre, equipped with local stuff. Or been familiar with the local equipment and applied it back onto other parts of the Austrian Empire
>>64737614>Bengal troopsIronically they stopped recruiting Bengalis because they kept doing mutinies to overthrow the British. So the British banned them from joining and only recruited modern day Pakis and Western Indians who were happy to serve
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b52tVlHc84Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason? the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land
>>64747794You can absolutely wingshoot with express sights, just ignore the rear sight. My first shotgun came with a 28 inch ribbed barrel with changable chokes and a 20 inch express sighted slug barrel with a fixed cylinder choke. I used that barrel for hunting grouse in thick brush for years before I bought a better gun (a 24 inch barrel double).
>>64748082>>64747800I'm assuming it's for the same, retarded, demographic that buys 8 shot mav 88s and 9 shot mossberg 590s. I don't understand why PSA would be getting into this because shotgun sales are way worse than handgun and rifle sales and the turks and chinese already dump trash shotguns onto the market and even better companies like mossberg and beretta are trying to push retarded ass tacticool shit to make up for lagging hunting sales
>>64748082That's exactly what their shithead advertising technique is like literally they'll write that shit "you asked for it." No. Didn't. Their guns wont even last a 10,000 shot test. I ask to watch that with any gun they make.
>>64748082Did you forget that PSA bought Remington?They're the future stewards of the 870, this was inevitable.
PSA is becoming a more mainstream Keltec and I'm pretty sure 99% of their customer base overlaps with Keltec's. Its all a bunch of cheap range toys for some low income slob that wants to recreate something from a movie or videogame.
Reloading generalMy press after sizing/depriming/cleaning primer pockets of over 6,000 pieces of .45 Auto brass.My die is an undersized die from EGW. They have Lee custom make dies .003" undersized to eliminate Glock bulge on brass. With my RCBS dies I had some rounds not fit in a match chamber.
>>64743776>this P220Oh, I recognize you from the hg threads. That's a pretty sweet gun. I love classic SIGs.I was the guy with the moldy K-98k sling asking for advice last weekend. That's the gun I want to load for.

What's the coolest fictional sword?
the monomolecular wire from ringworld was pretty cool
>>64746206Wouldn't it need to be almost infinitely strong to work? You could make clothing out of it, or infinitely durable armor.
>>64739176A similar style of sword could work, but I remember these things were just fuckoff thick and heavy pieces of wrought iron, so short and clumsy for their heft, more a testament to the movie-uruk's strength than anything.

>>64745588I'll have to keep my eyes peeled then. Its a shame there aren't more bullpup bolties out there.
>>64731979The length of pull was awful, the safety was shit, the trigger was just outright bad and the height over bore felt like it was treated like an understatement when talked about online.
>>64747067it does seem like they have to thicken up the receiver area to prevent a concussive effect to the user. they also typically have a 20+ inch steel barrel running through them, plus the trigger bar.
>>64742399Just get a bullpup chassis for a bolt action, I know they have some for the Remington 700. The FIMS straight pull .308 bullpups are neat too. Desert Tech has their head too far up their ass with those ridiculous prices for bolt actions.
