What’s your guys opinion on this?My G43 has a crack on the hand guard that runs about the length of it but only appears to be on the surface and doesn’t go through to the other side. You guys think it’s still fine to shoot? It already has what looks like epoxy filled into parts of the crack but i can for sure feel it spread when I squeeze the hand guard lightly but I can barely see it spread with my eyes
So let me get this straight, finn mosins were chambered in 53r but due to the need to use soviet ammo, finnish barrels were made for 54r and only the bullet shape in 53r is different. This means that 53r and 54r ammo is completely interchangeable.retardsplain finnish mosin ammo for me.
>>64757967I don't think any G43 is fine to shoot.
>>64758032Not really interchangeable in the way you might think53r is .308 54r is .311Older Finnish Mosin’s use the .308 bullet and when they adopted the D166 is when they switched to a .311 bulletD barrel Mosin’s are Mosin’s that had a surplus barrel chambered for .308 reamed out to fit the D166 cartridge which is why you see M39’s marked with a D. M39’s stopped getting marked with a D barrel after a certain point it was completely standard for them to be chambered for D166 thus having no need to show the barrel had been converted
>Picked up a M96 Swedish Mauser for $225>Found a Type 53 not long after and got it for $2002026 has been good for surps so far
The dragon is the size of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you can do a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk and junk.
>>64755686>I doubt evolution could ever work out a single ton+ flight capable animal.Quetzalcoatlus Northropii was allegedly around half thatsome handwaving and a faster metabolysm later...
>>64755686>>64751695Thus if a dragon is of this size, and flies the way it flies, it's body is stronger than any organic material on the planet by an order of magnitude.
>>64746238We're assuming the dragon isn't a wizard and your dragon equivalent of a low-education voter: the kind of individual that would serve itself to an army instead of become a ruler.
>>64755410>in the world you are describing I think that assassination would be a very prominent part of both politics and warfare.I love it. It jives with the theme of smaller but more elite armies. Assassins, headhunters, saboteurs, scouts, and snipers would be the commandos of this setting. Adds the possibility of mercenary companies who specialize in such tactics, along with experienced detachments to augment a given army. >>64755471I'd be fine with animu but, I like the idea of an CRPG that meshes skirmish and field army battles. Keep it full of depth but simple and narrow, like the Homeworld series. I could see that really working because you could start by focusing on a single nation-state, and gradually building out until you have over a dozen different factions based on analogues of the Pike/Shot/Colonial era. Samurai and Musketeers, Landsknechts and Conquistadors, Knights and Dragoons, Cossacks and Mamelukes...But with Dragons. After a few years, you have an entire setting on a Risk-style map, with playable campaigns for each faction and a story to go with them. Damn...Yeah, I need to start working on this. I might take the notes from this thread to /tg/...
>>64758112>/tg/do adults even play boardgames?NGL I've spent decades of my youth (and too much money) on Battletech but now I feel so jaded and none of my friends play any boardgame anymore either
>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?
>>64753986Booze and bullets has a pdw frame for it
>>64754049Much obliged
>>64753478>Using AR FCGObviously people will gravitate towards designs that use common parts kits. Ivan made a printed FCG that used hex nuts as a hammer face.
Where do you guys mostly find out about new designs?Since fosscad got deleted I don't really know where to look for inspiration A while ago I was in a telegram group, but that got deleted as well
AK General /akg/Chocolate Chip Chinese Chestrig Edition>Thread #2086Old thread here >>64704982
I have 7 AKs thinking about buying a WASR or AoA RPK build then calling it quits.
>>64758009That’s what we all tell ourselves. Don’t forget about 5.56 ak’s and you can always track down Tromix parts for strange builds. I still thirst for that run of 7.62 beryls occasionally
>>64758026>Tromix parts for strange buildsI welded a Tromix ACE adapter onto my JTS-12 because I couldn't make a trunnion swap work. Kinda crazy that they're still finding uses years later. >>64758004>I’m about done either 7.62 builds for the most part.Me too. My STINC Groza build will probably be the last 7.62 build I do for a long time. >Got some parts and paperwork to do for this oneI wonder how bad the wait times are now. I was lazy and didn't file my dozen projects on the first day. I read that there was something like over 100,000 filed in ONE DAY. its fucking over
>>64758068They pop up in the weirdest places. That and/or Tony finds more to closeout.>grozaOf course you’d mention the groza. That’s the last gap I’ve got. Some sort of groza/bullpup/kochevnik abomination.>paperworkI wonder this too. I’ve kept putting it off due to constant moves but might as well get it over with. I’d like them to hurry up in challenging the registry now that there’s no tax
>>64758009Probably a good place to stop, depending on what all you have.

>>64757871What's the documentary?
>>64753287I'd use my elephant gun.
>>64753299Okay, that settles it, you guys hate Indians more than /g/ does.
which weapons would a modern day vampire hunter use? no wooden stakes, no crossbows, silver blades, no holy water flasks or garlic necklaces allowed, just modern cutting edge tech.

>>64756931If it wasn't produced for placeholder carbines and a few oddball revolvers in the last 80 years. I love my M1, but a 300blk AR does everything better in every way. Welcome to the 21st century.

>>64753063>(2) Ensuring Accuracy Measures>(3) Ensuring Part Strength PartMost points seem reasonable and intelligent. Hard to say how significant these changes are compared to for example, a basic AK rifle.
>>64755523The short stroke piston system and the BCG setup seem to be quite similar.
>>64755523The structure of the QBZ03 automatic rifle is similar to the Type 81 automatic rifle, using a short-stroke piston air guide automatic method, which can fire a single shot repeatedly.Gun Encyclopedia:https://huoqibaike.club/wiki/QBZ03式自动步枪Gun World:http://pewpewpew.work/china/rifle/03/03.htm
>>64753043It's actually better than a AKM, has a softer recoil impulse and better ergonomics.

Shot placement?Keep in mind you may be in situations where you have to stop a loose shit bull from tearing some bystanders face off and over penetration is an actual concern when it's lockjawed onto that poor soul.

Are they based or cringe?
>>64757396Couldn't cloth masks do the same thing as they wear in Ukraine/ICE wears in the US?
>>64757298>Are they based or cringe?im pretty sure ive seen more than one report from ukrainan front line soldiers that some kind of full-face protection is absolutely necessary and vital piece of kit now, and its one of the main "take-aways" as far as infantry/frontline kit goes. i wish i knew where I saw it, but it was something to the effect that full face/head protection is something people think is for-real actually needed
>>64757298Has anyone came up with a universal head strap for goggle, gas mask, head phone, helmet and helmet attachments without making your head a water melon with a dozen rubber bands?
>>64757423I don't think I've seen them wearing anything besides cloth masks though?
>>64757298If they work your brain is swollen and your neck broke, if they don't you've got a new hole in your head. The nose/cheek area is perfectly designed to funnel any and all debris into your eyes. They are great at making performative turdie armies look tuff though
I just ordered a .308 CZ600 range for 1100 yurobucks (they usually go for 1300), did I fuck up
>>64754791I do for hogz, it's just a magnum version of 308
>>64754925>magnum version>308>+10%>magmumReally? You can get +10% from a good handload. That is not "magnum" level performance. Seriously, use better words.

>>64757765It was never terrible, but even the patched in ending slides(not even Fallout style because the same ones play regardless of if you encountered or helped the characters depicted in them)only took it from bad to mediocre.

>>64755337To be fair on Vigil it's not that he was literally hours away from powering off, it's that he finally accomplished his final task.I suspect he was sitting in an extremely low power state until Shep showed up and probably could've sustained it longer, but then used every drop of juice left to communicate the message.>>64756442There's some echoes of similar themes in the final game too. The Reapers say they're harvesting to preserve a trace of the uniqueness of species each cycle, and the purpose isn't just to control organics as they could but to allow different ones to spring up over time. Jarvis talks about how the Prothean empire being so dominant also undercut them, because everyone had roughly the same culture, equipment, technology and doctrine. You cut them all off from each other by turning off the relays, figure out how to deal with one pocket of them, then you've basically figured out how to deal with all of them. I suspect the original idea was that the Reapers were trying to see if new civilisations figured out a way around it, harvest any science they did that might've pointed to something or make their own collective's thinking more diverse through adsorbing them as new reapers.Biggest problem I can see versus the final story is that there's really two conflicts now, the Reapers themselves and the dark energy entropy death of the universe and there's not really a neat way to combine them. Just showing the Reapers that you built the first ever solar powered mass relay and them turning off after or something wouldn't be satisfying. Maybe reworking the Crucible into 'the power to stop the Reapers', but you still need to sell why everyone's building this thing without knowing what it even does.Only thing I could think is making it about finishing an ancient prototype that takes combining a bunch of cutting edge innovations from around the galaxy, everyone thinks it's a fleet-killer energy weapon instead of a tech demo.

i'm a newly converted lubeanon shill. Wife got in on the restock and loaded me up for Christmas. I've made the red stuff, tried slip2000, remoil, clenzoil and go juice. the nano shit is extremely effective after a full strip and clean to remove the old. I need to increase my buffer weight because it made everything cycle so much easier I'm now getting forward ejection

Good week but its alot of walking.
