The general for discussing homemade and amateur firearms

Last 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?

I had a vision
A simplistic pistol receiver, but its just screws, spacers, and a couple metal pieces. Like a 1960s Erector set. You could sell them as a kit and they wouldnt legally even be a gun. If somebody wanted to get rid of theirs all hed have to do is take it apart. It would be a bit bulky in areas but overall would be very compact.

I'm moving to Japan in a year and kind of bummed about it (wife is Japanese and wants ro raise our son there and her mom bought us a house), I'll have to leave all my guns behind but I was thinking of building a single shot Dark Mountain Arms style pistol out of a stapler and tube with a rifling button pressed into it and the barrel eventually pressed into a tube full of formed freeze plugs, That's all easy and so would casting my own bullets but what should the primer material be? The powder will be grounded up matchheads.

Failing that, I could akways smuggle a 1911 into Japan from the Philippines.

I understand wanting to have a gun. but you won't need it and it can get you into a whole other world of problems.
and don't think you will be keeping it secret from your waifu or her mother, they will find out sooner or later. if your relationship with one of them where to ever sour they will use it against you

Still reeling from the sheer retardation of the Battleship proposal, plus that it'll be replacing the DDG(X) project.

But the FF(X) looks good. It won't have VLS in it's first flight, but it'll have an established supply chain and available logistics for repair and maintenance. As long as they don't try to make more capable than it needs to be, i think it'll be a good boat.

They don't give a shit. They were mass importing migrants since late 90s. By 2004 all of basic bitch utility worker jobs in moscow, such as janitors, were filled by tajiks, prompting the birth of the meme of "moskvabad" (as in moscow becoming a churka city like islamabad, jalalabad and so on). They've imported so many tajiks, uzbeks and others from ex-ussr central asia that there's not enough of them to continue importing, so they've started importing pajeets. The plan for 2026 is to import from 1 to 1.5 millions pajeets.

update on the war on christmas
We are winning. Santa has been totally flanked and is nearly encircled. The nativity lies in ruins from sustained artillery barrage. Jesus is making a controlled retreat into the mountains, prepared to abandon Santa's Village.

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.

No, they actually increased it again to compensate for the shorter barrel, it's back up to ~77ksi. AFAIK there's no official word on what they did to tame the recoil but everyone that's shot both has commented on it. I'd assume that it has to do with optimizing the reciprocating mass and spring rates.

>>64672727
The bullpup fired what was basically a plastic case 7.62, which is also retarded. If anything, they should have reduced the power to even less than 5.56, optimizing for weight while maintaining lethality to 300 yards.

if they didn't need to make specific versions for each upper, they wouldn't. the only thing they have in common is the location of the takediown pins

You are all missing the point of bulpup. It was not supposed to replace conventional battlerifle. It was supposed to be used as specialised weapon in certain situations. Like in tight and narrow urban sprawl and tunnel. Country like Ukraine and US have no reason to adopt Bulpup. But country like Israel need bulpup because most of their combat situation is in narrow tunnel or town.

ZERO round under the firing pin totally and utterly safe, no questions. Pull the trigger? cylinder rotates and fires. The next step is the Walther P99, no potential energy in striker when decocked instant DA fire then goes back to SA.

Cap and ball or cartridge? It makes a massive difference. I've never heard anyone advocate for an empty chamber on a cartridge gun, it's just a cap thing.

>>64673694 You have that Completely Backwards. All 1851 Colts, 1858 Remingtons and 1860 Colts - the Big Three of the Civil War - may be carried with the hammer down BETWEEN any two capped nipples. On Colts the hammer face has a vertical groove cut in it so that it may be let down onto a pin the size of a sewing needle. This locks the cylinder from rotating. Thumbing the hammer back frees the cylinder and then rotates it to the next cap-location. To safe it again hammer has to be let down to half cock and cylinder manually lined up with next of the 6 pins.
The Remington was exactly the same without the groove in the hammer face and instead of using pins there were machined notches the hammer could rest in. That was 1000X stronger and more foolproof butt the Colt system was fine and gun was smaller and better balanced as a result.

It's a dumb stopgap solution that was ultimately made obsolescent by automatic rebounding in revolver lockworks. And even before that, a simple spring on the side plate and various other types of hammer blocks solved the issue.

>if they had people with enough clearance to get to the hangars, why not simply steal the planes?
By clearance, you mean two weeks of surveillance to identify the guard patrols.

As for stealing, you need:
>a pilot
>a ground crew
>fuel
>air defence clearance to not get shot down (no guarantee in Russia)
>active assistance from Ukraine to avoid hotspots on the front when you cross
The last one is the easiest to get.

I feel like a plane autist from /k/ would have a halfway decent chance of getting a jet airborne and on its way if they managed to find one that was stored as 75% prepped for launch so it could be relocated in the event of drone raids or sent out on a strike at short notice.
If it's fueled and it's just a matter of removing safety toggles and wheel chocks, you might have a hope. You might still need a few buddies to assist though and I don't know whether you can just drive a jet out of the hanger or need to fuck around with a tow tractor.
Doing all the above would drastically increase the time spent on-site and the risk of detection from people who will rape and kill you if they find you.
