>modernizing the revolver means lightweight materials, optics cuts, better triggers, and interchangeable cylinders/calibers!Is he retarded? This is absolutely incorrect and this guy is never going to be satisfied because his demands are foolish. What we actually NEED in the revolver market is an autoloading revolver like the Mateba. What we actually NEED in the revolver market is a gas seal revolver like the Nagant (did you forget how popular suppressors are getting?).He was right on putting autopistol chamberings in revolvers: something like 9mm or 45 makes your cylinder (and thus the whole gun) a fair bit shoter.But hell, why not just combine the Mateba and the Nagant? A gas seal autoloading revolver? That's the only thing that might could pass for a "modern" revolver.
>>64340550>>64339992The answer isn't not requiring moonclips. The answer is to make a better moonclip.
>>64338681Why do you always feel the need to mention "well that's not how we do things"? Do you think we listen to you like you are still our masters? Is it from a place of false superiority? Just curious why Europeans in particular suffer from this mentality.
>>64338633Some form of gas seal would be a welcome addition to any revolver since that energy is simply wasted in the cylinder gap.
>>64338633The revolver is dead. I tried for years to make it work for carry but it just doesn't cut it over a semiauto. It became my gun for rafting or beach visits where I just don't want to fuck up and rust my better carry guns.Its only practical purpose over a semi is it doesn't shit casings all over the place ya dig?
>>64341179>the answer isn't requiring small, fiddly, proprietary piece of equipment>it's making that piece of equipment betterNo, the answer is getting rid of moonclips. Build an ejector that rotates 30 degrees and puts a tongue under the case head as it does to strip the empties out. It's head spaced off the mouth so putting a slight counterbore at the back of the cylinder to give it space to seat would work just fine.
Since we're now in "holiday season " I wanted to reach out to everyone and see if there were people still interested in participating this year. Last couple years have gone smoothly and I have a pretty good list of people who have been good Santas, and a naughty list of course. Still got the same email as last year, S G T S A N T A 4 2 @ G M A I L, anyone interested in helping organize the event should reach out. I think what's realistic based on the last two-year is to have 2 rounds for U.S.A. and another round for international, shipping deadlines by Dec 1 (will definitely be there for /k/mas) and Dec 15 for USA and Dec 1 for international. Tiers will be based on the minimum amount spent, at $0 $20, $50, 100$+. If there are enough people to do something like 250+, that can probably be arranged (really only need 2 people). I'm excited to spread some more /K/hristmas-y goodness, delicious Eastern European chocolates and milsurp, and maybe, just maybe, another knildo.
>>64339989Are you able to push the international to mid November? I've had multiple years where EU and Australian customs have held packages in gulag for 4 weeks or more because they're gigafaggots....I miss BigBoss and the old santa website...
>>64339989Can I be a faggit and ask how this works exactly? Its been going on too long to be a scam and as a need I could flip $100 on a nice gift exchange. Ive always avoided this shit but I'm kinda interested now.
>>64339989>Since we're now in "holiday season "Too early, you retarded fucking mongoloid! Who do you work for, Macy's? Wait until AFTER Thanksgiving, the traditional Black Friday start of the Holiday season. Are you listening to Bing Crosby ALEEADY? NO? THEN WAIT, CONSUMER FAGGOT.
>>64339989Fuck yeah id be down to send someone some german surprise pack. Before im gonna send you some e-mail tho i'd rather just wait a bit to see if it will run like this. Last year was a bit confusing. >maybe, just maybe, another knildo.The weight of my prior actions keeps haunting me with the intent to do greater. Currently injured but i'll see what i can do.>>64340945I miss the website too, sgt santa is a sexy organizer tho
>>64341382Some of us send 10kg+ parcels from the other side of the fkn globe you turbonigger... Said boxes plastered with the most heinous memeslop known to mankind.... Parcels that end up in Customs limbo because of their utterly based nature. If you've been a top tier participant in years past you'd know this. This crap gets organized on the back end months before december rolls around.>>64341388>Ironic digitsI hate germoid customs the most.

I'm having trouble finding a hammer fired, DA/SA optic ready 9mm for under 1k. Am I a total moron, or do these tend to be luxury items?

>>64341326I was going to call you a moron until you said you wanted it to be optic ready.As someone who a would like an M9A4, I feel you, I also wish they would come out with a fucking black or inox one already
What's the worst military you worked with?
>>64320069I was attached to a company of their paratroopers for a field op one time because they needed a forward observer and didn't have one. We were about 500m from our objective at an ORP and they were in staggered column on a firebreak, stopped and checked each other for ticks and started making espresso (??) good thing it was training and not combat I guess
>>64325566>>64325041Youre all forgetting the fact that a significant portion of them were drug addicts so off their mind off of opiates that they could barely function as soldiers.
>>64315775>I am the guy who wrote the bloodmushrooms copypasta tooTYFYS
The German. Not because of the conduct or competence of their field officers or the enlisted. Enthusiastic professionals, one and all. No. Their absolutely maddening bureaucracy. Pray to the Lord in thanks that you were not born German.

>>64340286They were trying to save you from yourself.
>>64340286We needed spray bottles at work so I had them order the kind that had outlasted all the other spray bottles and was still kicking. Go figure, they were made in the USA. Amazon sends some Chinese off-brand garbage instead of the expensive USA made ones. It's a scam and an insult because they assume their customers are too dumb to care to get what they actually ordered. It's a rip off. I don't know why anyone orders from Amazon. It's fraudulent.
>>64340650Yeah, my knife had the tampering label on the box cut, and they put another fake one on top of it. Definitely fraud.
>>64324990I'll stab whoever I want
>>64331974I remember when those were 20 dollars. Great beater blade, was easy to replace the handle and 1055 steel was tough enough to do weird shit. It needed alot of work to reprofile the grind though. My next Cold Steel purchase is going to be the Recon 1 in Magnacut and possibly the 3V Gurkha Kukri Plus if I find a good price
Australian /k/.Anyone else get impatient when waiting for the pta?
I'm not sure what a PTA is but you and the rest of the Aus have my sympathies
>>64340762Permit to acquire.
>>64337078Pretty much all modern beam riders have autotracking. The Starstreak and Martlet launch unit has it as well. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, Starstreak was based on the RBS 70. It was a result of the same British-Swedish joint effort which (also) produced the NLAW, though it follows different design ideas from RBS 70.
>>64337042The refrigeration is necessary because cooled seekers are sensitive enough to pick up the heat in the airframe from atmospheric drag.Uncooled seekers are like first gen technology and needed to be staring down the exhaust pipe to get a lock and would do weird shit like locking onto clouds because they were reflecting sun rays. All-aspect seekers allow you to get a lock even on a plane coming towards you and are less likely to be distracted by sun reflections but pretty much require cooling because it makes the photosensitive elements react to that specific band of the IR spectrum.Pulling the trigger to give launch authority and then the system fires when ready is extremely common in weapons. If you release a bomb in CCRP mode in an aircraft it's the same thing. You pickle to give release authority before you reach the drop point and the flight computer times the release and sends the command to the pylon when the time is right.
>>64337462You're mistaken
>>64337355>>64338843fantastic read, thanks anons, the more you know
>>64338843Worth noting that, while uncooled seekers tend to be pretty shit against aircraft, the latest generation of IR sensors is good enough to be used in fire & forget ATGMs.

Guy at work who’s trying to discourage my next gun purchase said “I wouldn’t trust my life to a 1911”. I was honestly at a loss for words. How do you feel about 1911 vs other handguns for cc?
>>64341331>sub-4" barrelYou either don't own that gun or you don't own a chrono.
>>64341392the point is for conceal carryit still mogs 9mm or .45 in a similar sized barrelbut by all means carry the full size if you can
>>64341405That's like saying a Honda Civic "mogs" a Toyota Corolla. There's so little in it. You get real concerns when you're deciding between a P32 or an M69.
>>64341459The drop in velocity in a G29 vs G20 is not as much as you think>My chronograph tells me that the velocity difference isn’t that much, less is lost with heavier bullets. Handloaded 165 grain Gold Dots that average 1420 from a Glock 20 run at about 1360 out of a 29. 180 Grain XTPs that average 1350 from a 20 are running about 1305 from a 29You're better off arguing it's harder to control due to muzzle flipI'd rather train and carry a G29 for self defense over any other gun, especially in a state that limits us to 10 rounds of either caliber.
>>64341508>180 Grain XTPs that average 1350Do you have urban grizzlies or what? If you're basing your decisions on Bubbas most retarded "just use the case to scoop the power pistol and level it with the bullet" nuclear handloads there's also nothing stopping your carrying .45 Super loaded to Rowland specs or 356TSW with a 'lil extra.
In my mind the 375 would have a lower bc and lower momentum. But for some reason the 375 is better than the 408.
Momentum in and of itself doesn’t matter. Sectional momentum does.If the 375 and 408 bullets are made of the same material (why wouldn’t they be?) and have the same absolute length, then SD is the same, and the only differences are the 375’s superior form factor and its increased velocity. Thus, 375 wins. You can’t do this forever though since efficiency takes a hit everytime you neck down, so as caliber goes to zero, so does efficiency.External ballistics is mostly about BC*v^2. Maximize this value and use the heaviest possible bullets you can to achieve the best trajectory.
>>64341525>as caliber goes to zero, so does efficiency.Fuck, I was really hoping for a .000JDJ for Chrstmas.
How do you protect yourself from Andy's logz?

>>64340310The m4 is DI, while the m7 is SSGP. They're mechanically distinct.
We'll wait and see, the AR/M16 was a piece of shit, now it's one of the greatest and most reliable rifles ever.
