Daily reminder that if you put things in your Aliexpress cart but do not buy for a few days, prices will sometomes go down by 5-10%. Aliexpress uses adaptive impulse pricing system.

Camo showcase worn vs new cadpat mt (new on bottom)
>>65034915No, it tests if you are a coomer. If you have any impulse control you'll just wait for adaptive pricing to make prices go down. If you are a frequent buyer it will make prices go up because it detects you are a coomer and must consoom.
This probably has been asked a lot, but are bolters realistic? And if they could exist, would they be as good at penetrating armor as the tabletop game suggests?
of course they are, in fact they're not comical enough
>>65028560>are bolters realistic?definitely doable>would they be as good at penetrating armor as the tabletop game suggests?A 7.62 round made of HE would deliver energy more in the ballpark of .50 BMG, a .75 inch round with a HEAT warhead could punch through something like 5 inches of armor, depending on the design. They'd be a lot better than the tabletop stats suggest.>>65028630There are 40mm HEDP rounds, .75 of an inch is somewhere in the ballpark of half that diameter. It's definitely doable.>>65028940I thought there were designs being worked on that used pulsed lasers to create a channel of ionized air to the target and then dumped a fuckload of electricity through the channel.
>>65034482>definitely doableGyrojet was manufacturing small-scale bolters with rocket-propelled projectiles 60 years ago. So yeah, definitely doable
>>65028937>tries to be a smugly smartass: instantly steps on his own dickNice. It quite literally is heresy in the lore. Midwit.
>>65034870IIRC bolters have a kicker charge and an HE warhead, so they're not exactly analogous.This is clearly a pic of tacgnol but the jannies are heretics and faggots, so I'm going to try saying it's longcat.
Saudi Arabia will no longer buy US weapons, according to MBS after Trump insulted him. Whose weapons will they buy? South Korea or Europeans ones?

>>65033377>indians need to be banned from the internet.Remarkably I have a 3rd gen Indian American friend who says the same.He was born and raised here, but is fluent in his grandparents native language, and every time he goes to India to visit family, when he comes back I swear we always end up drinking for a few hours so he can tell me about how much he fucking hates India.Honestly I'm not sure I've ever met anyone else who hates a group of people as much as he hates Indians, he's said some really wild shit.I honestly really want to get him to start a company with me importing surplus Indian firearms and etc., but I'm also kind of afraid to bring it up because it'll both immediately ruin his day and set him off on a tangent.
>>65033377Most of them will be AGAIN, after Shitmusk's trashfire sats fall out of orbit
>>65034583I dunno if this suggestion is too bookish and gay/faggy, but since your jeet friend is principled enough to see the festering Ganges River for what it is, and I'm guessing he does admire and agree with what Western Civ (tm) stands for, he might be interested in some of the Scottish Enlightenment figures. There was a group of academics that really did pull themselves up by the bootstraps out of the mud, as Boomers say.

Does anyone here have experience with 10m air pistol shooting? I wanted get into some form of bullseye competitive shooting that isn't two gun matches since it wouldn't involve me having to run around like a jackass. Plus .177 cal competition pellets are far cheaper than having to stock up on real ammo. I was looking around for an air pistol and I noticed there are massive price jumps.>Air Venturi Steyr knockoffWhile it is only ~$650 online people seem to complain about the grips and also don't appear to be all that accurate after you get out of being a novice>Hammerli AP20 ProI want to get one of these since they seem to be an okay price, but I am unsure what they are lacking being $1000 cheaper than a Steyr, Morini, or even a Pardini>Steyr, Morini, and PardiniI noticed most Olympic shooters go with either a Steyr LP10 (pic rel) but I am unsure what these three offer or differ over the other options other than I know most of the offerings from Morini have an electronic trigger and I know I am not overly crazy over that. But I am not sure dropping $2200-2500 on a pistol when I am unsure if I would even like the sport is wise to do when just starting out.>Used pistolsI see older pistols like Walther CPs or Feinwerkbau pistols go for a lot less on Fuddjoker or ebay, but I am unsure if spare parts exist or if the air tubes have service lives from being constantly filled and unfilled, seals, trigger parts, etc. are hassles I want to deal with.Ty for coming to my retard TED talk.
I can't decide on a rear sight width.
Hämmerli AP20 is what i started shooting 10m air pistol with. Its perfectly fine and capable to reach 575+ results.If you can buy used air pistols Steyr LP2 is excellent value for the money, trigger is better and overall build quality aswell.What I personally dont like about AP20 and all Walther high end air pistols is the fact that the adapter for the compressed air bottle is made of steel with rather fine threads and the other side of the compressed air cartridge is made of aluminium. Therefore it can be easily damaged. Steyr on the other hand both uses brass and coarse thread. Its indestructible
>>65032096Duly noted anon, ty for the info.

How do y'all stay abreast of surplus deals and incoming shit rods? I pretty much rely on /msg/ and word of mouth before I hear about what's suddenly available.

>>64940230explains singapore
>>64987305Is he unironically an actual retard?
>>65025556Just think of the odds of horrifying death. Like 2-3 million russian pows starved to death or died of expose or other shit in the first year, 20-40 million total deaths in the eastern front in like 4 years. every year constant high tempo meat grinder combat then freezing weather, no quarter for anyone. If your german and survive enjoy 10 years of gulag after the war, if youre russian they still manage to lose half a million guys in the battle of berlin. you are not going to have a good time at any point until you get to rape. But the scale is what hides it I think.There were some really nasty fights in Burma and Peleliu but think of this from a Rawlsian perspective, if you could be an allied solider but you only know what theater you end up, not exactly where and when, what would you pick? Pacific, Russian, Europe, Africa?Aint none yall niggas picking russia

I wish there was a gun equivalent to that one pharmacist that goes to shitty gas stations, buys all of those 'RHINO ENERGY STINGER BONER PILL 9000 MG' pills, then takes them and reports on their effects.

>>65030566Does it look like an old school cowboy gun but still has a crane and swing out cylinder? If yes and it’s a nine shot then it’s likely a high standard double nine… especially if it has a faux ejector rod that actually releases the cylinder…. While not terribly valuable they are in fact a really nice 22…. Diamondback copied them with their sidekick by subbing out pot metal for the real stuff… :(
>>65034555it's a damn saa 22, the cylinder just has an axle that's sprung into place

We're undeniably in the age of the drone, modern militaries have very little cost effective counters to small mass produced drones, but that wont last, better detection and interception technology like interceptor drones, lazars, specialized ammunition, better EW are being developed and slowly rolled out, the Ukraine war will be viewed like how we view world war one, a strange inflection point of bad and outdated strategy meeting new more powerful weapons. the drone will eventually be just another tool in the arsenal instead of a wonder weapon,

>>65032264I wish I could own an ornate old antique wheellock pistol.
>>65032264Yes. I am aware of wheellocks.The question in my mind was more about using flints to enable using modern firing mechanisms. Although I see no reason why wheellocks couldn't make a comeback in DIY circles, it's just that it sucks big time to apply that concept to something like pipe shotgun. The wheellock system requires a touch hole and priming that touch hole. My take was about containing it INSIDE the cartridge as to have everything ready for rapid firing. No anon. They're not one and the same.
>>65034084You might consider trying to use something like quartz to make a spark via piezoelectric effect when it gets whacked with a striker…. Of course I might just be fondly remembering the cross time engineer….
>>65034548that wouldn't set of solid propellant
>>65034587Surely if your engineering quartz crystal into the ammo you can put something in there that the spark can get going….
