What is /k/ favorite type of glock?
>>64701144Shouldn't do if it's done properly and you don't shove a screw into the extractor channel.Jagerwerks seems to do a good job if you don't have a local guy. General opinion is MOS is not great to begin with.
>>64701144Shouldn't affect reliability at all. Honesty, just get it cut. MOS is hard to come by and I don't think it's worth it.

>>64700301I personally don't like the beavertail so fatties can keep the Gen 6
>>64701322Can always just take some sandpaper or a dremel and reduce it. I do think it was a dumb idea to make it a part of the frame and not leave it as back strap option though. A lot of the changes they did with the gen 6 along with discontinuing literally everything before gen 6 was a dumb move.

What’s the best gun for hunting polar bears?
>>64682524Good luck keeping a semi auto working above the Arctic circle, only an AK even has a shot. Manual actions are used for a reason. You don't need many shots anyways because you're gonna die if a polar bear gets the drop on you without a homie there to cover for you.
>>64682465no, he's watching you masturbate
>>64678265.416 Ruger. fuck 12ga
>>64693492Maybe they should have adopted the Ruger instead. Comparing the two, I think there's a strong case for the Ruger
>>64678265I heard years ago that the Inuits that actually hunt Polar Bears use AR-15's. Hence, .223Win/5.56mm ammo.
i see no point in bullpup rifles, i mean they go trough all that work, only to provide miniscule results, all because they keep recirculating AR derived slop design. the only guns i have seen as a viable solution is either KRASA or the "grip repeating rifle", and not for its name sake.. only the bolt design. anyhow, this is my take on what a bullpup should be.. it feeds from behind magazine, so you obtain 3 more inches of barrel, mix this with the bullpup setup and suddenly what should be a 10" barrel gun, can become a 20"..
>>64694145That's why everyone's moving to ARs right? Bullpups only work on paper. They don't work well with how humans hold and manipulate weapons. You want the action right in front of your hands so it can be manipulated.
>>64700903Drilling problem.To paraphrase some Ukie soldier regarding the AK/AR/Boolpoop question,>The best weapon? The one you have the most time using. I* [*the Ukranian speaking in the video], am best with AK pattern, Americans with ARs, and British with Bullpups because those are what we have drilled with the most.You can be trained to use a bullpup with your eyes closed, but if you already have hundreds of hours of range time with an AR even switching to something similar like an AK can feel unnatural until you also drill with that for ages.
>>64699958>>64700575Use a revolving instead of sliding chamber. Then it can feed rearward but eject forward.
>>64700903>>64701053i think most of the AR15 domination stems from the fact that it is light and has intuitive controls. grunts have to spend slightly less time figuring it out and they don't get annoyed with lugging it around. and the actual combat meta has been to magdump in the enemy's direction for the past 80 years so any ballistic benefit you might get from a bullpup barely matters.and i think now you have other countries switching to something similar because no one wants to risk an L85 situation by reinventing the wheel. just use what works and have a pint. etc.

Does every infantryman get one grenade, or are some not given one?
>>64701358Its going to vary based on unit SOPs, but generally everybody is required to carry two, or maybe four.
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?
>>64698784The weight could be tolerated if they lasted longer, and were less failure prone. They had their enjoyers for sure, it was a magical new technology to use in WW2, to be able to actually see those sneaky fucking Japs in the pitch black night, while they are completely unaware.However, when Brits got some later on, they experienced a LOT of problems with the battery packs leaking their battery acid, which would soak into their rucksack and clothes and shit, NOT fun. (Maybe they weren't quite built to last).Always thought it was cool Heston mounted one of those sights onto a BAR, far longer range than what the sight could actually show you, but damn if the terminal effect and barrier penetration wouldn't still work great from a defensive position.
>>64687010>his service riflewell pappy, you fought a good war, here's your gun to take home
>>64701086Fucked up that we don't do that anymore.
>>64701310Never did.
The ATF actually employs hundreds of white bearded Seers who live in a tower and telepathically track the whereabouts of every unregistered machine gun in the US. If I were you I'd definitely surrender it to the ATF so they could throw it in an incinerator rather than shutting up about it. Can't be too careful, it's not like Uncle managed to avoid the Seers' scrying eyes for 72 years.
Archery is one of the most masculine, nationalistic, and attractive things you can do. It also builds your back like crazy. I've been doing it for 8 years, and without weight training I was already able to lat pulldown 285. My pulling strength is wildly stronger compared to the push chain it's crazy. There's also spiritual and primal aspect to it. Firearms are too "human", but bows are like the bridge between nature and human intelligence. The red injuns didn't have archery gods but believed the skill itself was a gift from ancient spirits. From that pov you're basically not even a man if you can't shoot a bow. Just a subhuman slave that can't get food for himself. 2 obvious benefits are hunting, and a shtf scenario where being silent could mean the difference between life and death. Even in blue states it's perfectly legal to practice in your yard. I like to go outside during the summer while shirtless and no shoes on as women walk by to stare at me. I purposely put my back towards the sidewalk and I catch them taking photos.Get yourself a bow and start training.
>>64689526>Why aren't you learning archery?It's not as cheap as you would believe.
Oh wow OP still hasn’t posted his totally ripped body and his awesome bow. What a surprise
leaked image of OP and his 30# warbow
Archery is cheap and fun. I can shoot in my backyard here in the city. When I was single I shot down the hallway. Light draw weights are more fun because you can do it all day.

>Basedmade edition
>>64700205I most certainly could get more use out of her, like i said i could probably use her for another decade, however things in life have been going well, and i have the disposable income to justify making a small leisure purchase. The edge retention and corrosion resistance have been a constant battle for the entire time ive owned it since the finish wore off, and I finally want to retire her. Ill more likely than not still take her out every now and then but Ive gotten far, far more than the $70 something i paid back in 2015 or whenever I got her.The garberg stainless was in my list of options initially but im not very partial to the aesthetics of them and im very partial to 3v for a knife.>>64700360a hatchet is an infrequent brought item, mostly for longer camping trips in the backcountry, but i always bring a silky saw gomboy outback with me without a hatchet, and a silky outback pocket with me if i am bringing a hatchet.
Which Chineseman makes decent OTFs? I noticed that functionally every company that isn't Micro or Bench just buys off Temu, and I am not going to pay for their Boomer markup on something they didn't even make.

There is a rescue boat waiting for you on the coast. Between you and the boat is every carnivorous dinosaur from Jurassic Park films. You have one gun and all the ammo you can carry for that gun. What gun would you use?
>>64700309Kek this. I remember many many years ago as a teenager I thought the Hornet’s Nest 40mm shells were so cool and would wreck shit. Then I realized 3” 000 has the same number of projectiles but they’re bigger, heavier, and moving faster.

>>647012483 Day Imperium SMOs be like:
>>64701221Pretty much everything the Imperium does starts making a lot of sense when you notice that they're largely based on the Russian Empires (both Tsarist and Soviet). Burning down their own shit en masse in an attempt to slow the enemy down is their entire shtick, with mixed results.
>>64701221Akshully the Imperium do use Exterminatus offensively. Its just that most battles in 40gay happen in Imperial territory what with the whole "beleagured shitty empire" narrative the Imperium has.
>>64701260>Damocles Gulf: when you forget that you're not supposed to believe your own propaganda
>>64701318Sure but to actually use exterminatus you have to control a significant amount of the space around the planet (since the ordinance can often be intercepted otherwise) and a lot of exterminatuses can be blocked by sufficient defenses (Necron tomb worlds won't care much about a virus bomb, Tau worlds have powerful shields for their cities, etc.)

>>64701059Get my gear set up better, finally get medical instead of spending money only on the fun stuff, ie guns and nylon. Take medical classes. Stock some ammo since I don't have hardly any for my ar or pistol. Loose weight again, do more cardio, not hate myself as much. Or maybe more to motivate myself better.
Which is better? Steam or Electromagnetic Catapults?
>>64700290>Maybe China has worked out the kinks or they've accepted the marginally lower reliability.they just copy us so they assume emals is better. they say they have a 100% success rate but its difficult to believe a nation that constantly lies.
>>64700469>How, how do you inspect a transistor?You characterize your component and its failure modes, define what's normal/abnormal and a service life, then come up with test and monitoring programs that detect when it begins to fail. It's also a safe assumption that anything controlling big power is also going to have integrated sensors that give you even more information you can use to find a failing part.A DC relay is also a lot less versatile than a semiconductor, you're assuming that whatever they're using semiconductors for can be replaced with a simple on/off switch
>>64700503You could use a DC transistor for Pulse Width Modulation to control acceleration or you could just wire the caps in banks with the launch weight / speed determining how many banks to use to drive the launch.Either way you get pretty good control but I will admit that Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors driven by a PLC connected to a load cell in the shuttle would offer better acceleration profiles via PWM.

>>64694052Yeah, shame it isn't really needed anymore.I found this out about 4 years ago in an old LBG steel thread after looking it up.It had value up until relatively recently but by now not at all.We just don't expose the iron ore to a lot of radiation filled atmophere due to nuke tests not being proliferent and the background radiation levels falling off because of it makes the new stuff just as good if not better, that's it.
