What’s your favorite gun? Mine is my Nighthawk Custom Predator in 10mm.
>>64746538Has to be my 1928 91/30. It was my first rifle back in 2011, it and the /k/ nugget era sparked my interest in guns. I've killed plenty of deer with it, I still shoot it out to 250yd a couple times per year, my normie friends always enjoy shooting it. It's a beautiful old-world rifle that went kicking& screaming into the modern world. I have much nicer rifles now, but slapping that straight bolt handle open& close again... I just love it, bros
>>64765216well, neither do (You)
>>64746538I am undecided between my Colt Python and my Beretta 92.
Love me P89. Simple as.
For me it's between my S&W model 39-2 or my Browning model 2000
>nearly 80 years>barely any changesHow did they get it so right?
>>64766988Type 56 eternally based liberator of vietnam
>>64767833The M60 copies the bolt and piston from the FG42, and then the feed cover from the MG42.The original proof of concept was outright a modified FG42 with the belt feed from an MG42 added to it, but they weren't gonna do literally that, they were gonna redo it from the ground up and in a new cartridge.>>64767838Stg44 has a long-stroke piston, but otherwise you're correct. The Stg44 copies the piston and bolt from the Czech Zb.26 machinegun, like very closely.The AK copies the rotating bolt from the Garand, and the long-stroke piston from the 1918 BAR, and that's by Kalashnikov's own words. He never mentioned the Remington Model 8, but the double hook sear and braided wire in the fire controls are extremely similar (same double hook sear is also seen in the Garand and its descendants), but the manual safety on the Remington rifle doubling as a dust cover behind the charging handle is conceptually identical, so either Kalashnikov copied that and didn't mention it (or forgot), or it was one of his assistants providing that aspect.Kalashnikov denies the Stg44 influencing him, and maybe that's actually true, or maybe it isn't, but the resulting AK is highly structurally and mechanically dissimilar to the Stg44.The closest direct descendant which the Stg44 has was a rifle submitted to East German trials, and which was straight up the Stg44 design but in 7.62x39mm, using 20rd mags, and featuring a 3rd burst setting.
>>64767954The Model 8 connection is something I've wondered at for a long time, especially now that I have one to compare to my AKs. I can't figure out how anyone involved with the AK would have seen one since Russia never bought any in WW1 like the French did. The FN 1900 was around, but less than 5000 of those were ever made and I doubt any could have been sent to Russia after 1914, leaving only 4 years in which one could have arrived.
>>64766988the new ones look so ugly
>>64766303Russians too pooryou also really don't see any real changes to the AR or G3 over that time period either>they shortened the barrelAK-74U>new furniture AK-74 and 74Mthe biggest change was going to flat tops
If you could infuse any animal/insect with humans to create the perfect super soldier, which animal would you choose?
>>64768542possibly an axolotl, it can breathe both in and out of water, and it can also regenerate... basically, you’d have an amphibious Deadpool.
>>64768583snapjaw ants can bunnyhop

>>64768542Niggers probably. Or Chinks.
>>64768583We've got ants that spray acid, ants that sting, ants with jaws so strong they can cut through insects four times their size, and don't forget they're comically strong.Combine that with orderliness that would make the Germans look sloppy and you have the best martial force on Earth, bar none.
New Abrams just dropped
>>64767718Okay, but the original reference to the StuG was to assault guns. Just because it spent much of the war as a ghetto tank destroyer doesn't negate the fact that it was conceived and built as an assault gun. Nor does it negate the fact that the StuG is probably one of, if not the, most recognizable and iconic assault gun.
>>64765976I still think the turbine is amazing tech worth using over diesel engines despite its slight drawbacks like fuel consumption, shame its getting replaced.
>>64767964What they really need is a maintenance drone. Like a little astromech droid that checks the lubricants and helps break track.

>>64767752They had nothing special. During soviet times they were drowning in resources, both financial, industrial and human. You could read soviet butthurt of some of the people in charge of the state how each retarded space program launch (which usually had a ton of failures because "hurr-durr must overtake americans") would burn the amount of money it would take to build a new city kek. "We're launching cities" (while people didn't have food, toilet paper, apartments, etc). Post-USSR it was mostly about having a ton of retards working for peanuts (don't look up salaries in RU space sector, you'll have a heart attack) and using proven old designs, where everybody knew what they were doing basically to the point of automation. It was in face every time when they've tried to do something new that shit happened, e.g. when they've moving shit from analogue to digital and such. Basically the program ran on fumes for a decade, while shit got hollowed out slowly. To the point that the moscow offices of some of the space-related companies had more value in terms of real-estate: demolish shit and build some overpriced commie-blocks, ship off the people and tooling to bumfuck of Omsk where you have pay the shit salaries easier. Any real new stuff basically got stuck. Look up their programs on the Angara modular missile. Or the new space station. Or the new space ship (Federatsiya / Orel). Everything is either downsized after decades of spinning in place or just continues to be "we'll have everything done later, I promise" bullshit kek.

>>64767752The desire of anyone intelligent to get away from russia was just that strong. But now they've all gone.
Do standard fortification and entrenching method counter onky artillery or also air strikes?
>>64768136Rare pepe
>>64768223Yes, because we used to not have smart munitions. Now we do, therefore the era of dumb munitions is behind us.
>>64768226For a blue board the pepes here are immaculate.>>64768136Wouldn't we be seeing more airstrikes in Ukraine if they didn't protect soldiers? For some reason I don't hear of air power being used, must be the stingers.
>>64768227>Now we do, therefore the era of dumb munitions is behind us.Huh, I didnt know the thosands of 81mm mortar shells in warhouses I will be issued in case of war was guided. Good to know
In a military exercise I survived an air strike in a ditch.

There is nothing mechanically wrong with this grip.>one hand is going to take the recoil>recoil force is transmitted along the other hand as wellThis is useful especially for larger calibers or smaller shooters.With the stupid grip which is considered "right", the other hand simply doing nothing other than pushing the firing hand sideways.
>>64765672> support hand placed behind a fucking fulcrumEnjoy your massively increased muzzle flip I guess> support hand compressing tendons, forcing you to flex firing hand to pull triggerAnd just literally everything about your shot being trash
>>64765672My boomer dad gripped his semi-auto like this a few times until I got him trained otherwise. The slide bloodied his thumb at one point and he didn’t do it again after that.
>>64765672sorry to hear about your anisomelia, OP.
Perhaps if you are using your other hand to protect your firing hand's wrist, you should move to a lower caliber or pick up heavy objects more frequently. Another good alternative would be to place the supporting hand in front of the firing hand like a normal person.
>>64766338It doesn't.
Whatever happened to the patch threads?
>>64763770>The patch thread and /ak/ have the highest percentage of hasguns of any given thread on this board/prg/ was always pretty decent too but like 10 anons or something in it so dunno if that counts
>>64768525Fair.It is a but of an outlier due to the low population, it also occurs every month or so. While the /ak/ consistently rolls into a new thread and the patch thread used to do the same.

>>64760955>>64763337>>64765477>>64765484>>64765501>>64765983Question is are they actually good? Or are they even worse as Chinkshit often is?
>>64768091Right, this is the core question. I have nothing inherent against buying cheaper clones (or even improvements) if they perform, and it's plenty of foreign players produce extremely high quality stuff but without the US MIC bullshit markup. But implementation details matter a lot for a holo sight and I wouldn't get something crap JUST to save money because they're still more expensive then a basic red dot, so if I purely wanted something budget I wouldn't go with one in the first place.
>>64766192can you post a pic of your t2?
>>64768091I wouldn't trust Chinese holosights unless they're established and have a global presence like Holosun. A reason why Holosun is so good now is because American consoomers essentially did most of the R&D for them.
