I don't even own an AR anymore.
>>65034013kek>>65034024Can you imagine an artist didn't get paid for this? Fucking chud company.
>>65033440Is it worth swapping out my Elcan on a 14.5 for a SAI 6+dot? Elcan will go live on the IAR.
>>65034514SAI 6 is literally 1/2 price on eurooptic but they're kinda obscure so not a lot to go on. c_does liked it. I'm playing around with one and it's pretty flat but all I have to compare with is my credo 1-6 and slx 1-6 nova which are both SFP and flat enough to shoot both eyes open at 100 yards.Just leave the killflash in the box though, no fault to tenebraex, a 24mm objective is just too small to use without a ton of light.
The picture is terrible but you get the idea. Why aren't there any beefier versions of this to sue as a snap caps or dummy round? It would make dry fire practice a lot more entertaining.
>>65034220I like this idea, but I'm a little worried about it not absorbing enough of the force to do it's job as a dummy round/snap cap on a revolver. Was originally figuring there would be some seer inside that a nubbin would get smacked into to bend the seer otu of the way and release the spring. Just using the existing energy from the hammer spring probably makes more sense becuase it's probably stronger spring then what would be in the round anyways....Here is what I came up with using your idea. The orange piece is shown upside down, the nubbin on the top would go through the bottom cutout and be where the primer would be. Not shown here is some extra material I will add inside the case to act as a retension for the orange dumbell shaped object (it's that shape so I can make it retained, and I will have it print in place inside of the casing. It will have just enough movement to transfer the energy to the wedged in projectile.
>>65033534You're in the wrong fuckin place if you don't think guns are fun, faggot
A "dry fire" system that uses a primer per shot has always been a dream solution. I've only been reloading since 2012, but small pistol primers have always been about the same price as .22LR/round, and even in North Dakota, the winters aren't harsh enough for me to spend time reloading wax bullets on centerfire brass just to simulate shooting indoors.
>>65033527You can use beeswax/paraffin blender to make wax bullets to shoot with just a primer. My dad used to do that with his .357 so we could shoot indoors when I was little. Make a layer of wax about 1/2 in deep in a tin, then push primed casings into it, the brass will cut a little slug. Accurate enough to have fun across the basement.
>>65033605You can buy wax projectiles for cowboy action shooting and do this

Why don't you own a nagant revolver in 9x19mm luger yet? editionold thread >>64803876
>>65027454Could go the Khyber pass route and rechamber an AK. Hell of a lot cheaper and you (probably) won’t burst the barrel.
>>65031790I try to get only matching dust covers and Type 99 loooongs with matching covers are almost impossible to find. I guess so are ones with original monopods too, but not nearly as hard.
>>65034365those last ditch rifles probably have all my cleaning rods melted in them
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. I missed out on the Portuguese 1904's a few years ago but managed to get one of the nicer M1937As.Do I just need to sign up for Sweaty Ben's newsletters?
>>64981766>Ishapore 2a1How do you like it? I was thinking of getting one as I really like the look/satisfying chonky action on the enfields but it would be easier/cheaper to shoot the .308
How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
>>65028574Sorry I got completely mixed up, I meant blackpowder as the propellant and matchhead sticks as the primer, for example the hammer (or nail if it's a pipe shotgun) would be slammed into the matchstick head causing a spark which would then ignite the gunpowder, Could this possibly work?
>>65028533>So we have these things called Zippo flints....>Assume you could attach them to something in a reliable repeatable way, something which upon interacted with would cause sparks....Congrats on independently inventing the wheellock ignition half a millennium after it was popular!Cigarette lighters using these "flints" are all based on the wheel lock mechanism used in 15th century European firearms.The mechanism was built around a serrated wheel with a spring-loaded arm pushing a chunk of iron pyrite (fool's gold) against it.The wheel was mounted on an axle and wrapped around that axle was a small length of chain connected to a very powerful spring.The trigger mechanism kept the wheel from spinning until the shooter pulled the trigger.The wheel would rotate 3/4 of a turn, rubbing against the pyrite and producing sparks.Fancy versions had manual safeties and pan-covers that opened automatically as the shooter pulled the trigger, so the guns could be safely carried ready to go without spilling the priming powder or accidentally discharging.Reloading involved using a big wrench to turn the wheel back against spring pressure, rather than just pulling back a hammer.This type of mechanism was the first that could be practically carried around loaded and ready to go, and caused all the important people in Europe to panic because suddenly assassins could be carrying around hidden pistols.This mechanism was VERY expensive and complicated to build, so they were only every used on really fancy civilian hunting guns for rich people, and military arms issued to elite cavalry units.Comment too long.

>>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….

>>65028622Attempting to expose midwits and autists to nuance is generally a frustrating and unproductive experience, anon. Their world is a world of binaries. There are no third options to them. Presenting one demonstrates that they are not actually the smartest person in the room, which generally results in cognitive dissonance and name calling.Thus, you could discuss why a bunch of Slavs slapfighting each other halfway around the world is not something that the vast majority of Americans give a fuck about (and the ones that do only do so in response to propaganda, and in 2026 still can't find it on a map), but since that opinion doesn't fit into a child's simple view of the world, that simply makes you a Russian to them.>>65028641>muh iranYeah, we fucked that one up. I would've preferred for us to wait until they actually did build a few nukes and used them on Israel, and then then we could've given them the bombing that they truly deserve. That would have been two wins instead of one, but I suppose that I can settle for just one. >for now anyway>for a country that requires friends to ensure its existence, israel seems to be doing its best to piss off what friends that it has left
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?

That China is well out of reach of the current US military capabilities.

>>65033446>cheap plastic crapTHAT IS ONLY ABLE TO EXIST BECAUSE OF FOREIGN SUPPLIES. >>65033506>house and kids on single income This fucking myth needs to end.
>>65032769The great firewall is reasonably effective at blocking communications between china and the rest of the internet. Note that reasonably is not the same as completely. A moderately determined Chinese citizen can easily access international news services. In large part the firewall relies on fear and ambiguity around how it works to dissuade people from even attempting to access forbidden material. It is also far less effective at blocking communications inside China. So Chinese who can access outside news sources can easily spread the news to the whole country.Consider that China is much less censorious that North Korea, and even in North Korea there is some access to foreign media and news. Also, while their media services are all state controlled, they are aware of this, particularly the ones most likely to actually start shit.

How the fuck do you stop the Houthi? I'm sick of them camping out in the mountains and periodically crashing my portfolio. What weapons does it take?
>>65033808>I think we could protect them for the most partThey used an entire years of missile production in the first 2 days. The Ukrainians were absolutely horrified to watch the arab retards launch $2 million missiles at $35,000 drones. There's not the physical ordinance to do what you want. It's been wasted in Ukraine and stealing missiles from Taiwan and South Korea is only ensuring Taiwan making an inevitable deal with China. I hope you guys take good care of your devices and upgraded before the recent price spike because it's so fucking over.

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.

Regardless of whether gunpowder was ever invented or not, knights were still on their way out. Plate armor had made mass producing armor cheap and quick, and enabled poor peasants to be armed with armor nearly on par with that of knights, with kings able to order several thousand sets of plate armor built, thus centralizing power under the kind and reducing the importance of knights (whose largest virtue had been owning enough land and wealth to afford good armor before). Likewise, the ability to cheaply equip his own troops with state-owned armor allowed unit formations of much higher disciplinary standards than seen before.Even if gunpowder didn't exist, pike and shot would've become the new meta. Just with high-power crossbows and even more plate armor than before.

>>64884838>Plate armor had made mass producing armor cheap and quick, and enabled poor peasants to be armed with armor nearly on par with that of knights, with kings able to order several thousand sets of plate armor builtImagine the first noble who went to an armorer looking for a new, expensive toy, noticed the dirt-cheap budget plates, and was like, “Fuck it, give me five hundred of these I’m going to arm the entire village.”
