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.
>>64706530Hopefully I won't have to sell it. I just reapplied at an old job that, while fulfilling, in hindsight, was kind of Hellish. Hopefully I can work myself back into the mindset that let me work 12 hours, 7 days a week for 5 months straight again. I'm not good with this online shit. Definitely not good with paperwork and law stuff. I haven't done my taxes in 5 years. I'm a simple man built for a simpler time.
>>64707028>80kpsi fabrl = 75gr@2600fps, or 90gr@2300fpsWhat? Regular 5.56 can do that out of even shorter barrels. I forget which company it is but they load 5.56 NAS3 cases to 1500ft*lbs, I must assume without breaching max pressure limits, or if they are, no more than 70kpsi. and since the bullet length is the same, the powder charge will mostly (save for a small donut around the bullet) be the same as well. 80kpsi FABRL should be capable of 1600ft*lbs atleast, and this would mean 75gr@3100fps, or 90gr@2800fps. The biggest gains would be in retained energy at 300/400/500/600 yards. >new 6.2ARCLike a 6.8SPC vs 6.8SPCii paradigm.. Yeah I think technically this would work, and it would avoid liability. But I’m sure someone will stick it in a 6 arc gun and blow it up. Maybe if there were some way to visually differentiate the two, like case material/color or meplat paint/polymer tip? What shell shock does with their pistol cases is perfect for this, they can anodize the base any color they want. But this doesn’t work with the rifle cases unfortunately,
>>64707220>I forget which company it isBadlands; their 77 TMK and 55 loads are incredible. The latter gets 3000 fps out of 11" barrels. The 77s hit 18" velocities from 14.5" barrels (IIRC), and the TMK is a very nice projectile, probably the best short ogive .22 around. Badlands SST seems to be the best ammo on the market right now and I really want to shoot it.But yeah, with them in mind my numbers are likely way off. I played it safe because of the potential influence of case capacity on MVs. I don't know how the internal ballistics work for NAS3 cases, but they seem to have similar bolt thrust despite the improved performance.>>64707220>But this doesn’t work with the rifle cases unfortunately,I guess, to the court at least, it would be like putting .300 Blackout in a .223 gun, as they're legally distinct cartridges, and I don't think anyone has been sued over this. Shooting "6.2 ARC" in a 6mm ARC gun won't be as destructive anyway, the worst that could happen is a bolt shearing off after three successive magdumps.
>>64707428>badlandsI thought it was, but I googled around and found the outlet I was thinking of. It’s these guys, and I was thinking of this load in particular: (73gr@3040fps=1500ft*lbs)https://blackarcmunitions.com/product/nas3-73gr-eld-m/G7=0.2 and 1500ft*lbs is a massive improvement over G7=0.15 and ~1250ft*lbs. this is a difference of almost 300ft*lbs at 300yds, or around +45% more energy. And obviously with shorter flight time, less wind drift, less drop, longer MPBR.If you really want to weep, consider that Hornady makes a 62gr .224 with the same G7 of 0.2. That extra energy could have gone into velocity, if only the case could accomodate the bullet. And that bullet doesn’t even have the finest form factor for its L:D.I know who you are. I recognize you by your claw. Let’s see if I get the caliber right this time. Was it .183? Or .186?
>>64707465>https://blackarcmunitions.com/product/nas3-73gr-eld-m/It's awesome that so many companies are coming out with NAS3 loads, and with such great bullets. Don't know if they're finding customers, but the passion is there. >62gr .224 with the same G7 of 0.2Looked it up, ELD-VT. i7 ff ~ 0.89 for a sub-70 gr. And you can just buy it. Form factor ubermensch are winning, anon, don't be so dejected, even if the general public isn't familiar with the term yet, but it's a massive improvement to when the lowest FFs you generally saw even for large-caliber ELR bullets were in the 0.95 range. And by the way, I remember replying to a similar comment of yours, where I praised the M855A1.>Was it .183? Or .186?3 thou hardly make a difference, but I prefer .183 nominally. ;-) It's a pleasure to meet again, anon. We seem to run into each other very often.
Why aren't scoped handguns more popular?
>>64704485Handgun for close combat, if you can't hit a shit from 10 - 15 m using iron sights, go to fucking range and train. Also handgun ammo ballistics ain't so good. Need a scoped gun? Get something starting 308. Need reflex sight, put it on CQB 5,56 - 12 gauge gun for 0 - 100 m combat, need middle range, same 5,56 with 4x optics for ~200m. Need to use pistol, like civilian self defence, never put on hollosight on it, this shit will ttangle in clothes, hang on shit, make gun bulky and you don't really need hollosights on that kind of gun period, just fucking train to hit target in 0 - 20 m range. So, scope on handgun is meme, hollosight nice to have GIMMICK. It's usefull but i personally hate it for carry gun.
>>64704991Its a single shot, there's no room in that gun for an internal magazine
>>64704485They are popular within that niche. Requires a handgun like/skill and reason. Game hunting with pistol is challenging. Most faggots reading this board masturbate to plastic long guns with zero hunting application.Silhouette gonging is fun, but again, a niche sport. My mentor carried one of these in a cross-draw during deer season back in the day. It always seemed too much hassle for me. If I'm taking game with pistol, it's iron sights, or nothing. And mostly, I'm using a rifle.But not gonna lie, pistol gonging is fucking fun!

>>64707539the videos i've watched on the rifled adapters show them to be accurate enough to take small game at reasonable range. I already own a number of rim fires. I'm trying to make a concept gun out of a mossberg shockwave 590S. in my head I call it a "guide gun" my boss was telling me a story of a hunter and his friend who were hunting in Alaska in september of 2001. they flew in and were supposed to be picked up on the 12th. as you can imagine, something happened the day prior that prevented them from being picked up and as they had no sat phone or radio, they had no idea what that was. they ended up having to live off the land for the rest of the month and as they only had one rifle and one large revolver and less than 30 shots between the two, they could not hunt small game well. they were attacked by a bear that had previously stolen the goat they went there to get, and they killed it and lived off of it until it spoiled. anyway, this got me thinking about a compact, gun that could lob slugs to kill bears, buckshot to kill wolves and deer, birdshot to kill birds, and now im wondering if you could bring a .22 adapter and a brick of .22 to kill rabbits and squirrels and the like.
>>64707595>the videos i've watched on the rifled adapters show them to be accurate enough to take small game at reasonable rangeI doubt that. The vitals on a squirrel are the size of a nickel. good luck hitting that with an adapter that doesn't necissarily align with the sights on the gun.Shotguns are already great for shooting small game, just use small shot sizes.
>>64707595I don't get how this concept aligns with an expensive adapter that will get launched into the aether every time you cycle the action.
>>64707613>I doubt that.well, I do too. But i'm willing to try it for 40 bucks. like i said, the on paper results from the video were impressive. >vitals on a squirrel are the size of a nickel we are talking about survival here. blood shot meat still sustains life.>Shotguns are already great for shooting small game, just use small shot sizes.i know that man. but in my mind there is an obvious advantage to being able to carry 100 .22 shells for the same weight and space as 5 birdshot shells
>>64707636>I don't get how this concept aligns with an expensive adapter that will get launched into the aether every time you cycle the action.i would place my right hand over the ejection port with each shot and catch the adaptor upon pulling the action back with my left. as I do with any shell i eject for a shotgun that i want to keep off the ground.
I love 7mm-08 and I’m tired of pretending I don’t.
Yes yes very good… however 35 Whelen
>>64707590Eh, the ratio, sure. I just compared sectional energy, which is what actaully matters, and what OR is trying to approximate. The difference is attributed to the .358’s higher pressure.
>>64707614What is sectional energy if not the ratio between the amount of powder and the cross sectional area of the bullet?
>>64707620I’m not actually positive. I think you can compress more powder in the same case volume, and it will run at higher pressure. Also, grain size and shape affect pressure, things like that. I won’t pretend to know for sure, but I do know there’s obviously more to total energy than just case volume. If there wasn’t, changing pressure would have no effect on velocity.
>>64696693Why are you pretending you don't? Are you retarded?
Now that the Chink chimpout over the $11B Taiwan weapons deal and most recent numbers print from their imploding economy has wrapped up, I want to tally some numbers for the 'explicitly presented as the largest-ever military exercise around Taiwan'. This exercise was also explicitly stated as a blockade exercise vs the strike exercises of 2024.Taiwanese sources have reported that >6:00 a.m. Dec 29 - 6:00 a.m. Dec 30, 130 PLA aircraft detected. 14 PLAN warships + 14 CCG vessels.>6:00 a.m. Dec 30 – 6:00 a.m. Dec 31 Aircraft: 77 PLA aircraft detected. 17 PLAN warships + 8 CCG vessels.What's so damming to me is that the area of operations for the exercises were 2x larger than that of the 2024, and 3x that of the 2022 Pelosi chimpout. Yet there were less aircraft than in 2024, 130 in a single day vs 150 in a single day. The sorties also started slow, taking till the mid afternoon to get to peak detection rates as per Taiwan MOD. So this is where I really get to the main bit. A blockade requires substantially more sorties, I'm talking 48 sorties just to get 8 planes on CAP for 24h. Yet the PLA did only 130 in a day, barely enough for a dozen planes to be on 24h CAP. There's just no excuse. You NEED to have CAP or else US and Jap planes can just sneak in and rape you. The second day is so pathetically bad with 77 aircraft so I don't even wanna talk about it, just assume it's 2x worse.So you've got what is >supposed to be the biggest exercise ever>covering an area 2x bigger than previous ones>supposedly have 1600 aircraft stationed east of Beijing>yet can only muster up 130 sorties 6 hours laterImplessive. My theory is that the PLA airforce not only has a low readiness, but the logistics are so fucked that they actually can't turn around airplanes fast enough with things as basic as fuel.picrel is taiwan missilehttps://news.usni.org/2025/12/31/china-wraps-justice-mission-taiwan-blockade-drillsComment too long.

>>64707196One year is nothing. You people really need to realize this and look at a much bigger picture.From a more zoomed out view we can see that both countries have actually enjoyed on average similar sort of growth after covid, ie. in the past five years with Taiwan being more erratic likely due to it being a much smaller and less diversified entity compared to the Chinese giant economy.
>>64702811>My theory is that the PLA airforce not only has a low readiness, butMy theory is that with more maritime surveillance and satellite monitoring, you don't need so many sorties because you can already see that no one is coming towards the blockade.
>>64707460>diversified row, rmao. Diversified in universal overcapacity?What kind of cope is this? The Chinese economy has fully tapered off after covid. Wages have been stagnant in the private sector and government sector bonuses have dropped 30-50% in the past few years.

Was the Yugoslav military the 4th strongest military in the 80s-90s before it fell apart?
>>64706736>>64706746Yugoslavia was literally a part and founding member of the non-aligned movement (alongside pajeets). Took casualties in border skirmishes with warsaw pact members in the 50's after the Tito-Stalin split hence the US military and economic aid.

>>64707143>How did we beat Yugoslavia without even a proper military?The guard and the police had a secret parallel command structure which was activated when Slovenia decided to go independent. The JNA stockpiles mostly ended up in Serbian hands but Slovenia captured a bunch more anyway. Slovenia survived because Serbia wasn't very interested in Slovenia, compared to Bosnia and Croatia. Serbs just go wild for Muslim pussy, it's irresistible to them.
