Could the Dutch Navy, with black pearl skeleton powers, have defeated the Japanese?
>>
>>64691338
The black pearl is a normal ship and the skeleton pirates are not immune to bisection, so the japs would have defeated them eventually.
>>
>>64691360
They could keep recovering their ships from Davy Jones' Locker if they had these powers.
>>
Dutch, easily
the skeletons would be effectively supersoldiers; no rations required, no sleep, no exhaustion, no pain
furthermore because they can come back even if scattered, very little care would have to be taken towards preserving lives

this would not allow them to fight on the seas with impunity, but what would occur is likely guerilla wars at every naval base Japan has off the mainland
Dutch submarines would disembark marine contingents to harass and impede Japanese efforts while also impeding merchant shipping through boarding actions; this would inevitably lead to operational contraction. The Japanese would be unable to effectively supply any offensive actions.

Lets settle this once and for all /k/.
Using the charging handle to reload is better than using the bolt release on the AR-15, to always ensure a properly seated round, correct? Using the charging handle doesnt take that much more time either.

bolt release is repeatable and predictable, charging handle introduces variability, plus if the bolt is locked back from emptying the mag you have to hit the bolt release anyway

No, not correct. The bolt release is one of the biggest reasons AR15 has one of the best manual of arms.

My great grandfather was a decorated officer in the US Airforce during the Korean War. My great uncle has a display case with his medals, and his service rifle, which is a select fire M2 Carbine. I haven't inspected it closely, so idk if it's functional or demilitarized. If it is functional idk if it registered or transferable.

Has anyone heard of a scenario like this before? I can't find any examples online of an officer being given an M2 when they retired. I'm also certain that it is an M2, not an M1 Carbine.

My great uncle plans to give me his guns, including that one at some point in the near future. Obviously I hope it's transferable, but I think that could only be the case if it was registered when he retired. I doubt that he submitted any paperwork for it later in his life, and I know that my great uncle never did.

Any thoughts or advice?

>>64687010
If it was actually transferred to him at the end of his service, which isn't uncommon for officers, especially back then there will be paperwork. It would need to be transferred through an FFL with an SOT and though your great grand fathers estate.

Vet bring backs and retiree gifts are common enough.

Not much of a statement besides that the flight time was a little under three hours, they mentioned it 'flew along the flight orbit set in the sky above the West Sea of Korea' which typically means they did something fancy like draw a pair of figure eights or something like that to show off.

The statement was very short and there were only two images, usually this means that the next day there will be another announcement with significantly more detail when they know it didn't go wrong.

The long flight time is why the launch images are at early dawn but the impacts are in daylight.

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.

I need a safe for muh gunz. It needs to be able to be wall stabilized or not a tipping hazard. Needs to be able to fix six rifles, and around a dozen pistols. Other room for bullshit like mags and ammo, and bullion would be ideal. It doesn't need to be high end, it's quite literally only being purchased so small children cannot access it with ease. I am not worried about burglars.

>But aren't they harder to pry open if they cannot be laid flat on their backs, by bolting them to the structure?
A 10-pound prybar doesn't give a fuck. You can ram it straight through the door of some of the cheaper psuedo-safes, and if the lock bolt is significantly stronger than the metal the door's made out of you can literally rip the door off of them. Or attack the hinges and snap the back of the door off. People all too frequently overestimate the value of a lock compared to the material holding it in place.

Some asshats doing invasions use jammers or may seek to cut your ethernet before a burglary (while cosplaying as AT&T linemen working on stuff).

>>
>>64686760
Yeah, I would recommend this exact model to OP. I have it and it works great. Lots of space for rifles, pistols can go on the shelves. Just put the pistols in handgun socks and stack them on top of each other. Decent amount of room for ammo cans too, but definitely get metal ones and not plastic Plano cans, they don't fit as well.

>I need a safe for muh gunz.
what was the name of the safe company that gave all the combinations to the feds without a warrant? Dont buy one of those.

>>64685849
Stack-On style security cabinet is the way to go here, except for some caveats:
They are good for long guns with irons. Once you add optics the stated capacity is halved.
They are not often good for pistols, because shelving space is limited. >>64686760
is the only model I've seen that doesn't have this problem, but you could always buy two and diy shelves.
Where these fall down is fire/water/insurance. Most (((insurance companies))) don't consider these to be gun safes, so they will scheme you out of a claim by saying they weren't properly secured. On that note, check your homeowner's policy, mine had a $1500 coverage limit for guns and ammo (topkek).
I have a supplemental policy and am going to be upgrading this year to a Harbor Freight safe for increased capacity and nominal fire protection. Going to bolt it to the wall but raised on blocks. Until you get to high four-figures all the safes can be pretty easily defeated with power tools, but if there's a flood the safe won't be sitting in water.
Unless you live in some weird municipality I wouldn't bother with ammo in a safe. Check Craigslist/FB Marketplace for used locking metal cabinets for that if you have the room, but be forewarned that gunboomers have nothing on FB retards for the "I know what I got" factor.

i mean just shoot a rod very high up and have it accelerate directly down at the enemy's bunkers/air defenses/whatever. hard to 'shoot down' a dense thing going 10km/s

Lurk moar.
>>64688185
If it's a payload on a ballistic arc, even if travelling orbital velocity, it's still going to reimpact the launch point in 90 minutes without a circularization burn. This is an advantage, as the booster or payload for a point-to-point attack can thrust at apogee to do things like plane changes. Apply some REDACTED crossrange tricks and you've got a non-nuclear strike weapon.
