I hate shooting .40.I'm going to go drink some gatorade and hope my forearms stop cramping.Please ignore the extra shot since it's in the box.
>>64767638masochist
>>64767545What are you talking about? Are you carrying a 10mm subcompact or something? Or frail?
>>64767558>he doesn't have a barrel cutout in his suit jacket pocketsNGMI
>>64767626Frame idk, it's some sort of anodizing. The grips I got cerakoted because the blue paint was kinda nasty on them.
Realistically, what firearm would you need to take down a rampaging Na'vi from the Avatar films? Nine feet of solid muscle and bone (reinforced with natural carbon fibre), extremely fast-moving and agile, fighting on their own turf with very short engagement distances? There's no way 5.56 mm would cut it, would 7.62mm be enough?
>>64767024>Joerg poked a hole through a hardened steel plate using only five or six times the energy of a longbow>Do you mean the time he shot through a kevlar vest with a half to a third the energy of a longbow?I'll find the video for you at the end of the day but in the meantime I want you to go back and for the first time actually read what I fucking said. >>64765144>Joerg doesn't own a musketOh well damn if only anyone else in human history had ever shot that very very common piece of steel available cheaply worldwide then maybe we could draw a comparison.A 6mm hardened steel plate will stop a fucking quarter pound of lead fired at musket velocity.
>>64767187I actually found the video, my misstake was looking at the high viewer count videos and looking at the thumbnail for crossbows or really big bows.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQbCjvkSNzUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U7TRDFjnFMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QqDPyTCAZ0And holy shit this aint 5 or 6 times the energy of a longbow, it is over 10-16 times the energy of the longbows in todd's arrow vs armor test 3.https://youtu.be/SFFgcTzCvMo?t=156 He didn't build a super crossbow or longbow. He built a super airgun that is about the same size as an assault rifle or battle rifle.>400 grams>1100 joules of energy>30 newton second>steel arrow stainless steel projectile (with hardened center punch tip?)
>>64754140>Their bodies have some sort of string carbon fiber reinforcement, making the “extremely hard to kill”.This and the Three Laws of E'ywa (no buildings, no fire, no metal tools) gives credence to the theory that Na'Vi were a warrior race that lost some galactic war and Pandora is their prison planet, with Ey'wa as their warden.Would be nice if they took a Na'Vi off planet and the moment it leaves atmosphere all hell breaks loose with some alien ships arriving.
>>64756381>>64756372>>64756463You all forget that Ey'wa knows exactly what civilization is and forbids using metal tools or building stone buildings, so she is either a creation of Na'Vi who abandoned technology or by some other civilization to keep Na'Vi contained.The fact that Na'Vi turn into maniacal bloodthirsty warriors the moment they get disconnected from the world fungus should tell you something which option is more likely.
>>64758294>Chiron shits all over Pandora, the RDA would last about 30 fucking hours on Chiron, and I'm being very fucking generous.You won't get stories like that anymore, people aren't literate enough to create them.I remember the short stories on AC site before the game was released, they were awesome.

>>64766439>pistonslop AR15sGrim. The KAC is the best choice here.>>64766786Glock made a rifle?>>64766804I don't count an AR15 receiver with a short-stroke piston forced into it as a proper AR18, it's some kind of retarded halfbreed. You're not gonna get away from the carrier tilt without those guiderods.>>64766843It's partially money reasons, the Swedes got a good deal on refurbed GWOT era M4A1s, and they're provided as economic filler and for familiarizing. They still haven't fully decided and finalized everything with their AK24 as I recall.
>>64767176>Glock made a rifle?Yep. Some kind of AR carbine the bongland cops liked enough to adopt. There's very little public information about the rifle in question.
>>64767021
>>64766439We should absolutely buy anything except US owned. I don't give a fuck which.
>Winter Olympics are approaching >get a renewed hankering to try my hand at some biathlon, again>remember that I live in the desert and no one does biathlon within like 600 milesaw.Any snowanons here do some biathlon?
>>64766415>rather than people who shoot but are shit at skiingAs someone who lives in CO, believe me when I tell you that every year we have a few "Olypmic" skiiers/biathlonfags who end up on a park/graduated run and end up getting absolutely wrecked (hopsitalized) before an Olympic or red bull qualifier.Biathlon is probably the easiest winter/skiing sport you could possibly do, skill wise.
>>64767663>Biathlon is probably the easiest winter/skiing sport you could possibly do, skill wise.So you have never shot the course.
>>64767679>So you have never shot the course.Been an active member of USB (something you have never been) since I was enrolled at 14 in middle school, and have been a redbull qualifier for rail jams two different years.I have more experience actually being in the snow and shooting than you will in a lifetime, and yes, pushing off a 23' wall requires significantly more skill than cherry picking an X-ring @ 50yds. with a .22.Hope this clarifies for you, kthxbai. :)
>>64767717you sound insufferable
>>64767717Strangest biathalon course I've seen.
>got 5/8 groups at 100 yards instead of 3/8. Gotta rebed the action>Gotta use a $200 worth of cleaning equipment>Everything you do ruins the gun>Gotta use 50 different tools to mount a scope>Stock flexes slightly if you sit on it, gotta buy a $600 stock>Gotta use a ten pound rifleMeanwhile I just go out in the woods and train in field positions, shoot squirrels from as far away as I can see them, and do nothing to my guns except wipe the bolt and barrel down with an oiled cloth and occasionally run patches through the barrel with fishing line. If I can hit an egg at 50 yards while braced against a tree, there is no fucking reason in real life to worry about accuracy beyond that. Bench rest shooting seems to seep out and poison everything and mislead new shooters about what is actually necessary to have suitable equipment and skills for any practical purpose.
>>64767528I'm not mad that people enjoy useless sports that don't simulate any real life skills. I'm mad when their sport seems to dominate convention. When I first got into guns I didn't even own a rifle for years and only used shotguns and pistols because reading all the old geezers on TheHighRoad made me think that rifles were too high maintenance to be practical. I had that mindset for years.
>>64767628Isn't average egg size like 2-3.5" in diameter depending on if it's medium to jumbo/extra large? At 50yd that'd be 4-7 moa. If you're shooting smaller eggs though then sure.>>64767583Sure and that's fine, but plenty of people hunt because they just want a few hundred pounds of high quality and tasty protein in the freezer for the cost of a few bullets as well as hang out with buddies and help keep down a population that doesn't have so many predators. Nothing wrong with your approach just it's not the only motivation is all.
>>64767674I've never seen an egg larger than maybe 1.75" in diameter. An egg is definitely smaller than the killzone of a squirrel or the brain cavity of a deer.
>>64767674Even on private farmland you're probably talking 200 yards tops. You'd have to go west Kentucky or something to need any serious long range equipment for eastern whitetail.

What the hell Russia was hit with?

New Abrams just dropped
>>64765767Woah, it’s not just the engine.It’s also got a hybrid battery component. And a silent running mode.Very cool.
>>64766868>machine purpose-built to destroy strongpoints with direct fire wasn't an assault gun originally
>>64756325It’s a prototype nimrod.You’re the kind of guy who would whine about how the early F-35 prototypes didn’t have perfect build quality.

The sharpest thread on /k/.Underrated Knives Edition
>take 15 degree block>sides of blade are angled>not actually sharpening at 15 degrees>have no control over actual sharpening angleLooks cool tho, curious to try one.
>>64765314Why the seething?
>>64748589>>64748608I'm a skinny piece of shit and checking stats online, the MT Amphibian has a larger grip than the Paramilitary 2 but it fits my hand fucking perfectly. If that's too large for you that is sad. Microtech anon please come back, I really need to disassemble mine for cleaning and try and see if I can get it to deploy more smoothly, something rough on the locking piece or back of blade but I hand sanded both to mirror finish. Does the fluted spacer actually act as a bearing surface at all when it's opening? If you could make that spacer have a bushing around it and polish the locking piece/back of blade I bet it could deploy super smoothly. Also please tell Ron to make the studs to unlock like 1mm wider on either side, or even doing like the thumb stud on the blade and having them screw through the locking wedge so you could offer a few different sizes would make it a lot easier to unlock and close the knife. Otherwise they are too recessed into the grip to do it very easily.
>>64767662That's a Military 2 at the top of the thread. Yes, it's nice to be able to grip a knife like in your pic with the hand kind of splayed out, very secure.
>>64767701My bad, I'll blame reverse image search. Grip length is about the same then. Only knife where the grip feels a little large w/out gloves is the Bedlam. I love mine but damn I wish Microtech did a more overt Bedlam thing.
Thoughts about ultrasonic/vibro blades?
>>64767569I have a couple Victorinox for breaking/boning and all of my other knives are Mercer. I really like them. The grips are great.
>>64767563But chef's knives already cut those easily.
>>64766940With their lives on the line
>>64767425>>64767574why are you like that
>>64767695My guess is that he's trying to kick shit up because his life is just that boring.

>>64767207I purchased my helmet liner from at the front. It's alright, it just seems a bit oversized. I'm going to try shrink fitting it. For utilities I hear SM wholesale is the best, they made the uniforms for The Pacific. I purchased my poncho on ebay though. You can get originals NOS for ~$150.

Not to mention all the swiss army knife details like the captive takedown pins, swiveling trigger guard, etc.Suisseniggers get my applause, 5 star niggas, this shit literally makes HK looks cheap.

>>64767422Its pretty crazy how near some of the japs got even with all the early radar technology and CAP, takes some wicked piloting skills and balls folded over thousand times.

Low level bombing mission in the Pacific, note the parafrag bombs trailing.>>64767508Are you thinking of another aircraft?>On the night of 14–15 August 1944, "Impatient Widow", attempted to intercept a Heinkel He 177A-5 of 5.Staffel/Kampfgeschwader 40, flown by Hptm. Stolle. "Impatient Widow" had its starboard engine shot out along with oil lines and hydraulics, and went down north of Barfleur, Normandy.
I think I'm starting to develop some sort of anxiety the more that I go through these. I click on some video clip that has a mundane title and find it to be an assortment of clips that include a Hellcat landing on a carrier with half a wing missing, then a combat report with a name like "No.73616 #2/76" has an account of heroism the likes I've never seen. The sheer mass of stuff thats out there waiting to be seen, hidden behind droll titles and pages of otherwise uninteresting documents, not to mention the huge quantity of stuff thats NOT uploaded. So much is there but every document or collection I pass by I wonder if I'm missing somrthing incredible
Whatever happened to the patch threads?
>>64766925Beshtiya's return demanded sacrifices it would seem. As someone who only started collecting a few years ago I'm dying for his Gen Kill patches.

Is there a branch that is sort of functional and elitist in the russian military? >vdvNigga pleaseIn India, the Navy is the most elitist branch, they are professionals about it>Black sea fleet is now the submarine forceYeah, I know they were pathetic in this war
>>64767485Weren't they tricked into paying like 4B, more than a brand new Nimitz class carrier lmao
>>64767505It was actually 2.2 billion, but this was after the russian shipyard stopped working on the ship for two whole years and had to be wrangled in their blatant acts of corruption by the Russian president himself because Russian military exports were only netting them 8 billion in total. Mind you, this shipyard had only worked on submarines so they were never equipped to deal with carriers in the first place
