How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
>>65042044>Some guns are difficult or impossible to find ammo for3d printing is proving hugely helpful with this, either printing cases or converters for existing ammo with the same projectile caliber.
>>64888825"CUZ EVERYTIME WE GLOCK I GET THIS FEELING"
>>65042044There are several calibers (.45 ACP, 9mm Luger, .303 British, 30-30, etc) that were originally black powderOnly one of those started as black powder.
>>64888605Now that suppressors are tax free* I have been tempted to build some. Was always curious how effective getting some washers from a home improvement store, drilling three holes in them, sticking guild rods into said holes, welding them all up on those rods (or maybe getting three long, but narrow gauge screws with spacers for the washers), and a tube for an outer body would be, plus something for the end caps. Nice part is it would cost probably no more than like $100 tops and the time and effort to submit the paperwork.
>>65043428>.45 AutoWas never a blackpowder cartridge at any stage, the case volume and lack of a rim wouldn't have been considered suitable for revolvers..45 Auto was devised as a way to MIMIC THE PERFORMANCE of the old M1887 Military Ball cartridge (which was basically a fusion of the .45 Colt and .45 Schofield so as to work in both S&W and Colt revolvers), BUT, this was ALWAYS as a smokeless and rimless cartridge for a future automatic pistol (which eventually was the 1911).>9mm LugerNever a blackpowder cartridge either, again because of case volume and lack of a rim. 9mm Luger was a necked up version of 7.65mm Luger, a bottlenecked pistol cartridge (something you didn't do in this way for a blackpowder pistol cartridge).Further, 7.65mm Luger was essentially a shortened version of the 7.65mm Borchardt cartridge before it, also smokeless.>.30-30 WinchesterThis is an artifact of the name, Winchester never loaded this cartridge for blackpowder, and they in fact never called it .30-30 themselves, to them it was ".30 Winchester Center Fire" and it was competitors not wanting to write Winchester on their guns who started with the name .30-30 (which was distinct sounding from other established cartridges).>.303 BritishActually DID start out as a blackpowder cartridge, so that's correct, though the plan was always to load it with a smokeless gunpowder eventually, they just wanted to work out their powder and the Lee Metford/Enfield rifles as best they could before loading it. You could call it a sort of transitional cartridge.
An US army Chinook helicopter in Kuwait got hit by Iranian drones.Can it be repaired /k/?
Implessive. With the will of Allah, the Iranians have brought the entire USAF to it's knees.

Just bought this little bastard for 140$ but i dont know how i should sharpen my straight razors with it. Should i have the wheel turning towards the edge or towards the spine? Should i just try to do modified x strokes?
>>65042606Straight razors get sharpened on a flat surface, you fucked up. Put thin tape over the rear of the razor's spine and side it over a truly flat sharpening stone so that it lays completely flat. You're going to need to get a variety of high grit whetstones. Grinding wheels are better for regular knives.
>>65044008That's not true unless you are a clueless end userHollow grinding requires a spinning wheel, you're just too much of a dependent sheep to get it
>>65042621Butter knives don't have a thick enough spine, no one here can grow a beard and it shows
>>65044023Are you retarded? The point isnt to shave with a butterknife. Its to practice on something cheap and familierize himself with the grinder.
>>65044092Yes I understand the point you think you were making and it was dumb. Razors are a completely different style of blade than anything you're used to. It's like telling someone to practice sharpening their usuba by taking an axe to a grindstone. Complete waste of time. An actual razor with the correct profile but in bad condition can be picked up for less than $10 on the internet, that's how you practice if you don't want to damage your $500 iwasaki

Since the Iran war is so controversial, let's think about a war absolutely nobody would have a problem with. This morning, the President of the United States has tasked you with preforming a great service to humanity: The invasion of India. What happens to them after the war is up to you, if you'd like to genocide them, balkanize them or maybe try to make them into a functioning country or whatever. The objectives from the POTUS are fairly straight forward.>The destruction of the Indian military>The destruction or control of their nuclear weapons (They do have a nuclear triad so, it's important that's nipped in the bud before any issues arise)>The Pacification of the Indian civilian population. Through any means necessary.ITT we talk about how we would go about destroying India and what we'd do after they've been defeated. You can go about it anyway you want, not just a military campaign - be it a direct intervention; inciting a civil war through espionage or economically.

>>65038187Aesthetically, the folder is not really great on the full-size guns, but it will work. To me, it just looks wrong.If you're really concerned about price, the AC Unity fixed stock is probably the best option. But HK stocks are not that much more.
I don't think anyone really thinks direct blowback 9mm is truly "harsh recoiling," it's just that the roller and bearing delayed guns are much nicer. The MP5, Banshee, Kuna, etc. are more pleasant to shoot than any AR-9 or similar direct blowback 9mm. Sure, you could throw a hydraulic buffer in there and charge $2500 and some people will psyop themselves into thinking it's better than an MP5, because otherwise B&T wouldn't have any fans.The MPX sort of feels like an anomaly. It's soft recoiling, but the action itself is so fast/harsh that it has a tendency to destroy triggers and experience other problems. How much of that is down to suboptimal design choices by Sig, and how much of it is down to a piston system being suboptimal for a PCC, I can't say.
>>65009656Alright, finished my g80 grip shell. Any interest if I make it into a carbine like that Ruger 57? Will be less blocky as the Ruger since I can 3d print the grip module and have it all be part of the chassis. With or without hello kitty. Thinking have it be back rail, top rail, side rails.Maybe even have it be so it can take a mp5 collapsible brace/stock for it instead?
>>65040143Eh, price is what it is, just strange it's only $50 less than my B-TM (hardwood, plastic and many stainless butt/stock components) when it's mostly injection molded plastic.https://www.riflestock.com/store/product/h-k-mp5-93-94-folding-stock/$197 probably plus shipping. HK and style tax I guess.>doesn't look right on fullsizeIDK, I just can't accept the look of k sizes for some reason yet. I want a fullsize for some reason whether I end up with a folder or a fixed stock.
>>65044084That stock on a fullsize isn't canon.

Any military vets here? I just discharged last year after 8 years in the US Army. I spent 3 years in infantry (11B) stationed in a really rainy German town and got deployed to a country full of commieblocks before I applied for the Special Forces and managed not to washout of SFAS and after 2 and a half years or so I spent the rest of my time in Army as an 18B in SF. Since I did the full 8 years active I'm not IRR and pretty much a full on civilian now. I have no idea what I want to do. Since getting out, a case worker at my local GI forum got me this job doing basic maintenance on folding machines for a laundry business, and honestly it kinda sucked, so I got a different job now working in a really cold warehouse for an online grocery store. I have little to no prior work experience outside of the military. From my service I do have experience in some building/construction, mainly basic shit like excavation and laying concrete and I've installed basic electrical wiring but I don't have any certifications in that type of stuff. I'm also bilingual, fluent in spanish and ayacucho quechua (lol) but even with all that my case worker can't get me a job that pays more than $16 an hour like shit man come on. I'm having to live back at home with my dad and my mentally ill sister. I was going to take advantage of the GI bill and go to school but I have no fucking idea what I want to study as a career. I don't want to get a bullshit degree and reenlist and go the officer route (there's a lot of bs involved) and tbqh I don't feel like going back to the military in any degree. I have no interests other than my hobbies and no aspirations of what I want to do. I tried looking into PMCs/PSCs and I found this website called Silent Professionals which seems kinda fishy desu. Idk man. Anybody in a similar position?
OP college is the best option for you while you figure out the next arc of your life, use the GI Bill and housing payment to buy time, do a technical certification course at the community college or trade school if you don’t want to do traditional degree, frame this as something to do while you bridge to the next chapter, it gets harder to get education or certs the older you get, ICE/CBP is a good option, you don’t need a college degree, just use it as a foot in the door, friends brother washed out of the army and he was able to use CBP to get into gov, now works for army CID doing VIP protection and planning with great travel and fun details I’m a navy vet, started off as enlisted and then later got selected for naval academy, then served five years as a surface warfare officer on destroyers and cruisers, was also selected for nuclear surface warfare officer training between my destroyer and cruiser tours but I “went sad” to drop out at prototype because I hated reactor plant operations, this was the best decision as I got to be an aegis fire control officer on an air defense cruiser for my last tour, I directed the ships and aircraft in the gulf for tactical air defense ops, worked on the carrier with the air wing and admiral staff etc… gives me tons of leverage in my resume, after getting out I got a masters in computer science with the gi bill and worked in various defense research centers before going into government as a GS, I just made it to GS15 last year and coasting right now, it’s pretty comfy with VA benefits, GS pay and nearly $500k in taxable investments, I’m 41 now and no kids or wife, not sure if I want one, I take care of my dad who lives with me but other than that can basically retire early if I want toI did 13 years in the navy altogether but overall it was worth it because I had no direction, no mentorship, and single mom barely making it when I left HS to enlist
>>65043354Reading through this thread, OP, I have to ask, are you avoidant on any sort of military/security contract work? You seem to be shooting for a straight 9 to 5 with the meat plant thing, but honestly you're barking up the wrong tree. Like it or not, your qualifications make you a very valuable potential employee in defense and security firms. All that's missing to make you an ideal hire for these companies is a bachelor's degree. Many universities offer degrees in things like Defense and Strategic studies, Security Studies, Political Science etc. That's really where you should be looking into. Let your background be an asset because right now it's not serving you at all.
>>65043354I think you’re probably looked after better than you think, you have some good government and charitable programs for veterans. I’m ex-bong military and the government simply wants to forget you when you retire. Still waiting for my pension details to be sorted out. Yeah, l’m bitter.
I was an HM that got out a few years ago and went to an ivy league. A lot of SF/rangers, PJ's etc in the veteran cohort end up going to these and it's pretty chill. Most of them are tired of the military and want nothing to do with it which was cool.Go to college and fuck some 20 year olds while you expand your horizons.Avoid contracting unless you absolutely loved the military and all that jazz.
Become police. Many are ex-military. It's an easy gig to be honest once you get the ball going. Academy, field training and then you're given your keys and you can pretty do whatever you want unless you're doing calls for service. Extremely good benefits, meals free or 50% off. Be prepared to see the stupidity of people though, but you'll help people when it can be done. I've seen it all in 5 years.>T. Cop for large city
I haven't seen one in a good while. I'm seriously thinking about buying an AUG soon so I'd like some advice. I know there's both 5.56 and .300 blackout variants to choose from and I'm leaning towards the .300 and just using supersonic ammunition. AUGs are notable for being poor suppressor hosts anyways, right? Plus, prices for supersonic .300 aren't that bad according to AmmoSeek when compared to 75/77gr 5.56 which I already buy. Plus if I ever change my mind about .300 I could just buy a 5.56 barrel.
I love bullpups, collected many of them. Tried a hellion this past week and I was not as excited as I thought I would be, the trigger also felt weird. But as I said, I collect. Can anyone help convince me?
>>65042504I mean, the VHS-2/Hellion is a meaningful actually deployed addition to the history of bullpups, so from a collector standpoint doesn't seem like a bad one to have for completion. I wouldn't prioritize it either, it's not rare and not going anywhere so if there are other cooler bullpups you'd be better off keeping firepower for I'd do that first but still you'd probably want one in the end. Collecting is different from whether you think a given gun fits you personally, after all even bad firearms can be interesting from a historical pov.I don't think the hellion is bad though just more love/hate then a lot of them.
>>65042537Yeah you bring up a good point about collecting, but I don't own any guns I won't shoot so there is some balance there too I think.Honestly I just need a better sale, like 1.2 or 3 for a 20 inch and I'm sold
>>65042451Is the NATO stock version of the AUG fine now that it has a bolt release?
>>65042630Pretty sure the NATO one is the exact same as standard now that it has the release
So these were just a fad, right? I mean, you drive four miles, transmission breaks down, you're trapped in a steel coffin, every gun in a fifty mile radius is raining hell on you. Nobody's actually gonna try using these to make breakouts, right?
>>65036175Torpedoes make battleships obsolete, we only need torpedo boats for our navy now. We should scrap our armies as well, planes and airships are the future.>>65038534This.
>>65040741I think there is a lot of potential in the pursuit aeroplane. Aero engines will steadinly become more powerful and by the mid-1950's, pursuit planes will be monoplanes with enclosed cockpits and retractable undercarriages, capable of flying at 300 knots at an altitude of 30000 feet. By the 1990's, aeroplanes may even be able to break the sound barrier, although this may require some sort of a rocket booster.
>>65044044The sound what?
