So I get that 3.5 inch magnums were invented to deal with high flying waterfowl due to the lead shot ban and steel being less dense so worse at range.Why do Turkey hunters and basically only turkey hunters coopt every water fowl advancement?turkey hunters use 3.5 inch loads, extra full chokes, red dots or fiber optic rifle like sights and tungsten shot.Why don't they just use like a .22, .17hmr or air rifle?
>>64631825Rimfire or FMJ to a turkeys chest is not that destructive.
>>64631137>Why don't they just use like a .22My fucking state just changed the regs this or last year to say you can't actually use .22LR on turkey anymore. Never even got the chance which sucks because I've gotten to be a pretty good shot just shooting shit tons of 22LR and doing lots of small game hunting.
>>64631297I used a .22 with a homemade suppressor to poach turkeys in the oakland hills as a boy. They were fairly used to people though so shots were at ~25 yards, same as squirrels. I live in new england now and I could just walk over to my leach field and kill them with a golf club. "Turkey shoot" isn't a saying for nothing.
>>64631739yes
>turkey>huntingI just blast the retarded birds from my moving side by side with a 12ga and breast them out where they fall. They're about as challenging and engaging to hunt as chickens would be. The last one I actually hunted was at eight yards with a compound.I routinely have to chase these away when deer hunting and they're so stupid they'll wait until you're 10 feet away to start running. It's a miracle any survive in the wild.

How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64634465>MacuahutitlCouldn't they have used an easier name to pronounce or remember?
>>64634465The problem is that Mesoamerican combat was highly ritualized. The goal was not to kill the opponent, but to stun and maim him to provide captives for sacrifice. You are basically looking at an alien civilization. They did not fight to kill the opponent.For the goal they were designed for, they were highly effective.
>>64634465They were perfectly fine for native-on-native warfare. Problems arose when they encountered the Spaniards because obsidian (aka volcanic glass) had a tendency to shatter against steel breastplates.
Would pickaxes used in the middle ages for coal mines also works to puncture Pl8 armor?
What are warhammers?
>google Pl8 armor>realize OP is a brainrotted zoomer that can't write a 5 letter word
on a tangent but coal mining didn't really take off until the industrial revolutionsupposedly coal deposits are generally found in places where mines would tend to flood, so (while its properties were known) extracting the stuff wasn't really feasible until steam pumps were available to keep them drained

>>64634315Eh, CZ and staccatos have their place but just aren't as popular as Glock. Glock is really the default gun in alot of ways and it's turbo reliable, so that's why a lot of guys use it because it's more on their own skill to shoot good which is what they are training for anyways. CZ and staccato just don't have the same marker share as Glock, which is fine. SIGs are dogshit though. So far off the top of my head the P320:>is/was not drop safe(there are probably a lot of them still out there that never got the "upgrade")>explodes, not unheard of to get SIG slide bits launched at your face due to the catastrophic force of firing a 9mm round because SIG cannot into engineering>shoots on its own(this is the worst issue as you have no idea of knowing if your particular combo of jeet parts are safe or not) This isn't to mention the fact that the P365, which is being forwarded as the replacement for the P320, likes to eat its own striker pin which is less of a serious issue but still very annoying and gay
>>64634337>SIGs are dogshit though.*NuSIG
>>64634315Eh, close-ish.But the two brands aren't in the sa,e category. The Bundeswehr are adopting the CZ P10 as their new side arm and the Shadow 2 is the most used competition gun. Staccatos and 2011s in general are also popular in the competition scene.Spec ops mostly run Glocks because they just work and don't weigh as much as a steel frame handgun, like a Staccato, but they all know what they are. I know a green beret and he and everyone else in his group run Glocks, but he's always entertainined running a Staccato. They are definitely much easier to shoot accurately than a Glock (hence the popularity with comp shooters), but the added weight and maintenance just doesn't warrant carrying it, given how little combat use they will likey be used in. The practical solution is to git gud with a Glock and save your vanity gun for personal use. Staccato is actually pretty brilliant in targeting PDs to run their 2011s, since before that, 2011s were really just for enthusiasts and competition shooters. Until recently, they were quite finicky too.If you can afford the gun and can keep it cleaned and lubed well, then it makes sense for cops to carry a Staccato, since it means they can shoot it better more easily. Unlike military, it's their primary weapon, they cary way less gear, and their carry environments are a lot less harsh. Therefore, it's a lot more attractive for them.
Judging by the wrists, this one is actually a man so it's not a coincidence that he's handling recoil better than the women albeit not particularly well. Like the other cos players, he tries to keep his trigger finger level with the target because that's the intuitive or most comfortable way to grasp the frame but this results in too low of a grip as the "beaver tail" isn't thick enough to accommodate. Glocks are simply a poor choice with to instruct beginners>>64632596It looks like you have a couple of archived / deleted threads open there too>>64632611>>64633430Kek

>>64634445>>64634454Lets say 2k. I've got a semi, a shotgun and a lever 22. I was considering a ruger american to make use of my pmags and leftover rounds but I was really tempted to splurge during boxing day on a tikka t3x ctr that was on sale on various lgs'.
>>64634461I regret not going for a couple .223 valmets that went on EE years ago.
>they added half MOA adjustments to the A4/M4 carry handle for camp perry/KD qualificationsA2 sights and A4 carry handles both have the same zero clicks. it's like 1 3/8th inch or whatever fucking weirdo shit for the front sight and half MOA for the rear sight windage. On an M16A2/A3 the elevation drum on the rear sight is 1 click per MOA 300-800 meters and on the M16A4/M4 its 300-600 meters 1/2 moa per click. The Z for zeroing is present on both the A2/A3 and the detachable carry handle and it's for zeroing a 20 inch barrel and it's 1 moa off from 300 meters. So, 100% chance the reason they fucking did this is because the come up from 300 to 400 m is 3 moa, from 400-500m is 3.5 moa and then 500-600m is 4.5 moa. on an M4 it would be 300-400m is 3.5 moa 400-500m is 4.5 moa and 500-600m is 5.5 moa.half an MoA wouldn't matter in combat, assuming you even switched the drum so they were 100% doing it for their KD range shooting to make it easier to hit the bulls eye at certain ranges
>>64632871Unfuck yourself
>>64634110>>64634123the z setting is for the A4 you fucking retarded no gunz 70 IQ tranny. even your pics say it, you fucking retard. That's why it says to click 1 click down on the A2 and 2 clicks down on the A4. holy shit you're illiterate
What gets me about the A2 rearsight system is the assumption that any soldier is going to be adjusting his irons in combat.
>>64632462>there's no way anyone's actually adjusting rifle sights in combat, maybe the MGer You're not gonna believe this but the A2's rear sight was literally stolen from a storage room at Colt by a visiting Jarhead that was part of the A2 design team. And that sight was for an LMG Colt was working on. Pure coincidence though I'm sure!

>>64633180>>64633199Why would you get a 300 blackout in a gun not designed around .223? Especially a lever action - just get 30-30 or 45-70.
My youtube-algorith keeps feeding me shorts of the most horrid ingrown nails/fungus cases being removed, and i watch it all
>>64625114I shoot clays like twice a year and can't be bothered with hunting anymore
>>64633208Lever action is gonna work a lot better with a suppressor due to not being a gas run system. And while I haven’t looked it up I’m gonna guess theirs probably more bullet options out their in a wider variety for 300 blackout vs 30-30 due it being the current new hot thing…. And while a 45-70 lever gun would be fun as fuck 300 blackout is significantly cheaper to load, especially for bullet prices.. also fwiw Henry’s supreme can be bought as a 223/557. As I understand it it’s essentially an ar style bolt but driven off a lever instead of a gas system. Still takes regular ar mags in both the 300 blackout and 223 version. It’s a weird bastard middle child between the two and I like the look of it.
I just bought a Mosin 91/30 for 300 bucks.
tell horror stories about what happens when women get their hands on a firearm, I'll start...
>>64633316>first time shooter>loading more than one bullet at a timeRookie mistake. When I taught my wife to shoot, it was one bullet in the gun for the 30 minutes at least. So she could get used to the kick and show that she can follow simple directions(the hardest part).

>pull up pic of mossberg 500>unless the guy is hickock45 sized they are almost always holding the gun by the very back of the pump like pic related.idk why they didn't just make it so the pump wood is further back and would fit around the receiver when pumped back. it's like whenever you pull up gwot or cold war commie soldier photos they're basically always holding the rifle by the magwell or as close to the magwell on the handguard as they can get

Unpopular opinion on this board: (From a relative close distance)Ive tried one of those arrows here and it cutted straight through an European wooden door (meaning, heavier, massive, not made of cardboard). It got stuck because of the back part of the arrow Lets say from close distance:A single arrow of this kind is deathlier than a single bullet from the same distance honnestly. This blade cutts enough veins and its impact is horrific. If it hits an artery its done soon but even the veins, tissue, other shit it damages is quite sick if you ask me. It's dark here now otherwise I could show you the door with literally a vertical hole of that arrow through it. I think a bullet will be my choice if I have to choose between being hit by a single bullet or a single arrow of this kind
>>64632876dumdum created by British in India btw is what you call 'hallow poinds' in America
>>64633406Hollow points originate in big game express rifles that predate cutdown rounds from the dumdum arsenal that eventually became soft point rounds.
Those small 80lb crossbows are very underrated. In paper they don't have that many energy. But in practice, are equivalent to the lower end medieval crossbows who were used to kill people for centuries. The fiber glass limbs combined with the razor sharp bolts makes it a very efficient weapon. But if you have money you should get an adder or even a revo 7 with the better bolts.
>>64632667Yep they are more than enough to be deadly in a vital spot, and reasonably incapacitating in most hit locations.They are also inherently suppressed, very nice for indoors shooting.
>>64633786We have antibiotics now. Those kinds of wounds are rarely lethal these days. I can't believe this has to be explained to you. Hell even the average gunshot is survivable these days.

As part of the modernization and consolidation of its combat fleet, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) successfully conducted the first launch of an MBDA Meteor air-to-air missile from a Gripen E fighter jet. The test, carried out on November 27th from Natal Air Base (BANT), represents a technological and operational milestone that confirms the full capability of the Brazilian Air Force's most advanced weapon system.During the exercise, the missile was fired at a Mirach 100/5 aerial target, designed to replicate the flight profiles of fighter jets maneuvering at high speed and altitude. This challenging scenario allowed for the evaluation of the Meteor's accuracy and performance under realistic combat conditions, as well as testing the Gripen E's capabilities in long-range air-to-air missions.Major Gregor Gaspar, of the First Air Defense Group (1st GDA) “Jaguar,” explained that the weapons employment profiles were carefully selected by a highly trained crew to maximize the exercise's performance. He emphasized that the launch not only represents a technical achievement but also consolidates the operational doctrine developed by the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) for the use of long-range weapons, fully integrating the Gripen into modern air combat standards.The integration of the Meteor missile onto the F-39E Gripen significantly expands Brazil's deterrent capabilities. This advancement places the Brazilian Air Force at a new level in air defense, reinforcing its sovereignty over its extensive airspace. With this combination, the country possesses a weapon capable of detecting, tracking, and neutralizing threats at a range of over 150 kilometers, strengthening its strategic position in the region.
>>64634170I'm just curious what the BRICS countries are actually getting out of it.>no military cooperation>negligable economic cooperationI guess having someone that will veto for you at the UN security council is nice to have, but even that is of dubious use since it doesn't protect you from betting wrecked by sanctions.
>>64634268"BRICS" is a new avatar of thirdworldism. It's nothing new. It was very much a thing in the 1970s, after the oil shocks. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_International_Economic_Order).In fact, BRICS countries are trying to use this platform to leverage their interests globally. This is mostly reasonable. russia desperately tries to spin in into an anti-Western alliance, but it won't work, because that isn't what most BRICS countries want either.
>>64634102BTW this is the current standing of South American airforces reference chart.Future changes:Colombia has signed a deal for 17 Gripen E to replace its aging Kfirs.(Though not sure if Meteors as well)Peru is still defining its future aircraft purchase with possible contenders being the Gripen E, the F-16V, and the Rafale. They are aiming for 24 fighters.There's also a MoE for KF-21 Boramae but not sure if that's actually a done deal or not. Either way that's on a longer timeline.
