Like a lot of things really, I think it's 100% natural and human to yearn to be unlimited, yet in reality it seems that a lot of creativity and fun and basic aspects of ourselves work best when we're tightly limited on resources and forced to be creative and make the most of what we've got. Ever more power hasn't made computer software endlessly better and more creative, or childhood for that matter. I'm glad I grew up in an era with minimal electronics and a lot of our summer days was biking to swimming holes or going out with buddies and making forts in the woods or taking a bb or 22 and blapping squirrels or cans.

>>64735212Negro, you best be fuckin' trolling. It's the EXACT same mechanism.The parts are shaped a bit differently, that's true. But the function of every part is 100% identical. Every part in the Fagnus is mirrored in the Colt, and every part serves the exact same function, even if they're shaped a little differently.The ONLY functional difference between the lockwork in these two revolvers is that Colt added a hammer block safety, of a type that's directly ripped off from S&W.

Newer western fighters like F22 Raptor or Eurofighter Typhoon are planned to be used for around 30 years, depending on their ability to be upgraded.I think he meant in technologybut the F-35 is built to be upgraded so I don't think it'll be obsolete technologically for a while, especially since it already has stealth

>>64735683I paid 2500 for it, after stripping it, It looks like nobody installed a shooters kit so I will get one myself.
>>64733132I did, but it was commercial.Interesting thing was the fixed follower was made from wood.
>>64735711Shooter's kit won't be good unless you do a detailed visual inspection and/or NDT. Hairline cracks can be hard to detect.The rifle spent 75 years getting pounded. Just because you're shooting it now with reduced gas, doesn't mean that it won't damage the rifle further. Once metal is overstressed, it's significantly weakened.G41s make better shooters, honestly.

>>64734163I’ve worked for 1 local and 3 fed agencies. In my experience, they will solicit bids on the ammo they want and that’s what it is. If you’re carrying an approved primary or backup weapon, they’ll usually specify the ammo to carry. One exception my last agency issued 165 gr. Winchester BJHP’s and one qual they gave us 165 Gold Dots that another agency donated. When I was last OTJ I worked with an ICE guy who carried a POW G17 bc they were using the P229 in .40 back then.

At first it will be bloody as some will have to be sacrificed to prove that this is not a bluff, but once the message is out that “deez ypipo ain’t playin’ no games” then they will get in line.Were you born yesterday?Seriously. Were you? Why does everyone here disregard history and precedent when proposing their totally-novel solution of just sending some new flavor of vigilante gasser-flamethrower deathsquad of not-confederates here?Just shut up already. Whatever new horror of botched repression you have in mind only seems right because you think the problem is just people not being scared enough.Not the case. God, you're the worst kind of pussy.
>>64736464> Not the caseSo enlighten me. What is the case? They don’t couple well, their economic niche is gibs and theft and so they have to be forced into a higher energy state. Sure, they’ll be more uncomfortable there, but Atleast their behavior will not be destructive. Do you propose the culprit is some newspeak nonsense like generational trauma? Is the solution just to rob and kill white people?
>>64736530>So enlighten me. What is the case?Post-slavery, Southerners wanted free labor, but they couldn't use slaves "except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted", so they weaponized the law. Renting out labor afterwards drove their economy. This became a full industry, driving migration northward.Later, the state saw the Civil Rights leaders maintaining multiple interconnected militias across the populated parts of the country large enough to challenge it, then linking with poor whites, questioning capitalism, and flirting with black internationalism. Massively spooked, so it spread drugs around and criminalized them to erode power via mass incarceration. Kids and adults alike were taken, and the women were manipulated to produce and gut bastards on the largest scale the world had ever seen. The armed groups were maligned, infiltrated, set against each other, and used to burn manpower. Meanwhile, taxpayer funding mechanisms intentionally isolated majority-black neighborhoods, and the private sector offered few real opportunities. Lobbyists worked to maintain the prison pipeline, even after the manpower and energy of the population had burned out. In the absence of a legitimate state and court, law became a private luxury, and each time an alternative appeared, the state was required to stomp it out so as not to feed a separatist movement. DAs are trying to change opinions with lenient applications now. They hope the fish will bite now and play their game instead of supporting organizations the state can't tolerate.>They don’t couple well, their blah blahDo subhumans like you ever have an original thought? KYS."Muh neo-kkk" won't solve the problem. It only reinforces the illegitimacy of the state and makes people pray for gangsters to rise up and protect them because they remember a time when they could and don't understand why they can't anymore. Also, everyone learned you can scare klan men off with gunfire.

Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.

>>64735320Nigger you are too dumb to even follow what I’m saying. You said JHPs don’t reliably expand. That was true 30 years ago. Not today.As for OPs question, I asked him to post - pistol groups at 25 yards to answer his question. Absolutely shocked I got no response. > 45 is slightly larger than .36Correct. Weight has no bearing in this context since FMJ since both get plenty of penetration for the scenario described by OP. >muh gelI didn’t bring up gel tests. You did. Go ahead and try to show real world wound channels between 230gr .45 FMJ and 147gr (or even 115 or 124) 9mm FMJ where they have similar shot placement in similar tissue (people, animals, whatever).We’re giving you shit because you’re acting like .45 is special for being “naturally subsonic”. Our counter arguments are so are many other calibers that are just as easy or easier to get. If you want to argue .45>9mm, ok. But that’s a different thread completely.

>>64735760they'd do quite a bit of damage, but it'll be contained to the immediate area of the hit. they impact over mach 10, which is when shit instantly explodes upon impact.it's basically just a realistic way that you'd make "rods of god", as accuracy will never be pinpoint, so the more kinetic penetrators, the better.

I remember seeing one specimen in a video once and it seemed to be almost identical to 5.56 MARS. So close, that the Indians actually plagiarized Nathaniel Fitch’s picture of the MARS in one of their military documents, passing it off as the MINSAS.>>64734205Make the grip out of steel and EDM the magwell, and you can feed a COAL of ~1.85” within a comfortable grip. That’s 221 fireball. And if you really wanted you can widen the case head, since there’s still room for a wider case without affecting grip comfort. 7.62x39 can be duplicated (with 110gr bullets) double stacked and fed through the grip. 5.7x28 and 4.6x30mm are nowhere near the limit of what is possible with mag-in-grip guns,But yes, 5.56 MARS would go hard as fuck in an mp7. Way better than the diminutive 5.7
>why can't everything be an ar15god you guys are boring
>>64735076Similar mag length. But the gap between trigger guard and mag makes it look more proportionate than a 40rd AR's bar graph of 200% mag right next to 100% grip.
