Hello everybody, Bonkanon here. Today we'll be making a morning star from exotic African hardwoods.Most of the materials are in picrel. Wenge for the head and shaft (hehe), a piece of black-and-white ebony for the handle, and some African Blackwood for handle accents & pommel.
>>64711722>Bonkanon hereThe one who killed a guy with a baseball bat, or the one who hunts small animals with blunt objects?
>>64744104>The one who killed a guy with a baseball batThat was gonkanon.
>>64743833I do both. I used HSS tools to make the spike dowels and some of the finer details, but most of the main body was done with carbide. One thing I learned doing this project, is that you can control the surface finish of some woods with your choice of tooling. Carbide cuts more like a scraper and Wenge has very long open grain so it left a lot of tearout and really showed a rough grain texture, as you'd expect using a scraper 90 degrees to the grain of any wood. HSS tooling cuts more like a knife and would leave a lot smoother surface on the Wenge. In hindsight, I think this would have looked better if I finished it with HSS, but I'm glad I tried the carbide because it gives the exact look I want for a new project I've been thinking about for months and am finally getting ready to start.>>64743988I did think about that when I was doing research for my project but decided against it because I think that one is ugly
>>64745363I tried HSS on dried wood and didn't have much luck. Cupped carbide cutters like Hunter offers seems to do ok for me. I think I get a worse finish with maple and several other woods I don't remember right now than I do with wenge but generous sanding and CA glue works for me since I'm rarely turning anything where tolerances matter.

The dragon is the size of the ones in GOT, use GOT as the point of reference for most everything to be honest. If you want to be a furry abut this you can do a version where the dragon(s) are smart cookies that can talk and junk.
>>64745408the brigandine they test in this latest video was designed in an era when everyone feared the longbow, and therefore likely with stopping arrows in mind. it's no surprise to me at all that it resisted most hits.Tod's AvA 2 video showed fairly consistent and human-wounding penetration of 1mm arm plates too>They also did test against just flat 1.5mm mild steel plate and the penetration depth was not as dramaticalright, so call it 1.5mm then>White walkers carrying random melee weaponsthe White Walkers also 1-shot a dragon with a single magic missile, the obvious implication is that they possess powerful specific anti-dragon weapons
>>64745651>it's no surprise to me at all that it resisted most hits.Yeah and it is only 1.2mm thick. If you took a brigadine using thicker plates at 2 or 3mm plate and removed the hardening it would still resist the arrows just by being thicker and heavier. If you keep the hardening then you can stand with absolute confidence that no arrow launched by the strongest man on the planet could pierce the armor.>White Walkers also 1-shot a dragon with a single magic missileYeah and it a special ice spear only carried by the Night King and his Captains. The same type of spear would instantly kill a human it stabbs and shatter every normal weapon into ice except dragonglass or valerian steel. There is nothing to imply that the snow zombies carry any special anti dragon weapons, they just carry normal melee weapons in every scene. Even if we go with idea that since they are magical zombies they have super retard strength and would just super stab the dragon with normal steel weapons that no normal man could and that would work but then you run into the problem that if that is the case then any clash between humans and snow zombies would be complete win for zombies thanks to super retard strength alone and not that they are very hard to kill zombies that all charge at you in the 1000's.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWWeT82OB8o>This clash wouldn't really play out the same and the zombie walker they capture would just retard strength away from being tied up.Another possibility is that the writer for the show could not figure out a good way of removing the dragon from the battlefield and just had zombies swarm it and stab it. The same dragon that in previous seasons would tank arrows from bows, require ballistas to hurt it and magical ice spears to kill it is getting pierced by normal swords wielded by zombies that shouldn't have the strength to do it. A bit inconsistent showing of the dragons hide protective capability.
>>64745947do bear in mind that a couple of arrows pierced the brigandine plate in Tod's test, and were only saved by the underlying chainmail and arming doubletTod is being a little disingenuous (as usual) in claiming that the plate is resisting the arrows. it's not the plate per se; it's the whole multi-layered ensemble
>>64734174A DnD dragon would still be viable on the modern battlefield because its giant lizard with an IQ of 180 which can sprint fly at over 200mph, teleport several hundred miles at time, melt steel with a thought, spray psychoactive mustard gas over miles of terrain, breath underwater, perfectly imitate any human it sees once, poison any water within 300ft, cast Wish Spells several times a day, read and control minds at will, make an entire division fall over laughing if tells a joke, has innate thermal vision, construct bridgeheads in minutes, make everybody who can see it shit their pants, ect, ect. Dragons are bullshit.
>>64746238A reasonably old DND dragon isn't viable because you have no way to make him give a shit about your objectives and worse, if he really did care he'd just take over your country and win your war by teleporting demons into your enemy's leader's bathrooms.

Why is French firearm design so strange?
>>64746270>hey we let our daughters get raped on mass, but at least we aren't French God is there a people more despicable than the bong. not for the casual accusation of race mixing, but at casually joking with their own rapet-not even a real country
>>64746280It's not a joke, it's a fact. French women are some of the loosest and most open to miscegenation this side of the Donbass. Not my fault that you live in a nation of whores and cuckolds.
>>64746297>I'm Frenchwrong by two countries but please regale me how loose women are worse than your daughters getting raped and the authorities doing nothing and population taking it all with a stiff upper lip instead of lynchings
>>64741881It's honestly puzzling we voluntarily send the dumbest, darkest, most baboon-esque recruits straight to the régiment du train instead of building a somewhat competent logistic force with people of average intelligence. I wonder why that is.

>>64746284They're already building KF-21s for themselves and possibly Indonesia, what will happen is that the ROKAF will divert some of the planes to the Philippines if they ever bought them.Viper lines goes beyond 2030+ with America, America's """allies""" and other nations buying them, Ukraine and Sweden buying more Gripen Es their line also goes beyond 2030. The Eurofighter and Rafale (lol) are too expensive for the Flips so they're out; the latter is also damaged goods thanks to the jeet Chairforce.

Should have gone for F-35Bs, time and time again the F-35 has mogged all Chinese radars.They don't even need proper runways, they just need a less shit airbase.F-35s armed with standoff weapons and Kangsberg Naval Strike missiles would sink the Fujian and the Liaoning, the shame and secondhand embarrassment alone would stall and deter the Chinese from doing anything stupid.It's not like the Philippines is in America's shitlist like Yurop so there's no fear of any killswitch.
>>64746064>just give us all the land you have your defences set up on, we promise to not attack, we promise>also please ignore that we just manned the baltic states and are going to keep them.The idea that the russians succeeded in their goals is pure rusnig cope. You wanted to occupy Finland, you couldn't.
>>64746274The majority of these pants on head retarded posts don't even come from finns, they're from finnoboos. It's quite embarrassing.
>challenge guy thst is 3 weight classes less than you at boxing >lose every round get ur ass kicked so hard u lost all ur theets and consciouness against an opponent 3 classes of weight lighter than you>Referee cheats and declares you won,>Get money less than was promised, people rightfuly say you got your ass kicked and lost all your theets>Cope by saying "Xaxaxa atleast i got the prize"You still lost all your theets though
>>64745968>>64746028>>64746064Is this like when the chinese claim to have won against post war Vietnam because they changed their goals at the very end and settled?
The point of war is not K/D but to achieve your goals. If the Finnish goal was to remain independent, they won, if their goal was to keep their territorial integrity intact, they lost. That's all. If the Soviet goal was to conquer Finland, they lost, if their goal was to conquer a part of it and make them subservient politically they won.

>>64744816For the same price you could get a nice Mauser sporter, a superior action with cheaper ammo. For a couple hundred bucks more you could get an unsporterized Lee Enfield or Swede Mauser, also superior with cheaper ammo. Not seeing the appeal of buying some spaghetti nigger gun in any case.
I've just seen fn49s go up in price by $500-$1000 in real time. These cope gun prices are even worse then when people were paying 2k for a type81

Both ukraine and russian men should just have a couple goons tard wrangle jeets as cannon fodder and then their own native slavic Volk use drones on the jeets so no Slav has to die meanwhile pajeets are depopulated.they could even bring back armored trains too to stomp on the pajeets.
>>64741771Holy shit lol
>>64741490This would solve all of our problems
>>64741490As fun as this sounds, if Ukraine manned the trenches with jeets the frontline would collapse in less than a week.And if Russia used jeetwave assaults nothing would change, except for casualty numbers going up even higher.
>>64741490Cannon fodder tactics don't work. They're for coping faggots a hundred years behind us. The cost of getting a jeet to the front line isn't paid for with his effectiveness. Old world faggots keep trying this and it keeps not working.
>>64746507But a jeet is a net drain on society, military, economy, ... Unless he Is turned to paste.A retarded slav can atleast drive a truck, a jeət will fail that.Like Putin could afford 10k Norks, why not just promise a hundreed thousand jeets pussy and then send them to their deaths?
how the FUCK did the passenger survive the explosion?no sound since the source just had a music track playing
>>64745816>In 10 years AI drone warfare will be common, AI will decide who lives or dies in a battlefield. Autonomous decision making for life or death. I guess you can say it's like a land mine, but land mines don't make decisions.Yes this is how they're going to counter jamming and limited range causing drone operators to get fucked by other drones. It's also why jamming, even ignoring the square law of effort for range and more frequencies, is eventually going to be a dead end, probably at first it'll be a fall back mode when contact to the pilot is lost since you can safely assume that'll happen close enough to a non-friendly target.
>>64745716How has the bottom not dropped out yet? How much longer can they sustain this? It feels like it's lasted far longer than it has any right to.
>>64745800>it's kind of like artillery without the risk of counter batteryso US troops in every war since Korea ?
>>64745823Sure, but it's no different than the guy sitting next to him eating lunch. You have to poke your head out to use a rifle or a launcher, you have to leave the fob to get close enough to throw a grenade, probably using a large and loud vehicle to get there. A little drone going bzzzzzt is way harder to notice than artillery. (Ignoring ew.) So even if pilots have high casualty rates the perception of what they're doing conceptually it's going to seem safer at the surface. It's kind of like the meme of being a pussy for shooting someone instead of fist fighting.
>>64745693They are paying 40k dollars conscription bonuses in areas where the annual income is like 2000 dollars.Adjusted to a first world income of 50k that would be one million dollars.Hm. I still wouldn't join a meatwave for that kind of money, I guess the fact they only get state TV does alot of work here.Well and since all Russians have to go through conscriptions they have a steady stream of young men that can be forcefully volunteered.
how do you defend yourself from homemade flame throwers and other rudimentary incendiaries?
>>64741919>>64741707Same for this one, there's some redditor who home made one of these. Its just what appears to be some scuba tank mated to a 20oz co2 bottle with a pressure washer handle modified with, again, a high flow nozzle and check valve. There's not a lot to these things and actually this model can shoot napalm if you get pure benzene and styrofoam to mix with. They offer it on their website, it's not too far off what the m2 flamethrower's design was. It used to be you could find the designs really easy for the m2 but I can't find any refrence material rn.
>>64746479Can you point to where the fuck I said that, you mental nigger?
>>64746454It’s because most people don’t know what the fuck they are doing.
>>64746479And acutally you bring up a good point. What is the constant with euro/developed middle eastern countries and gay little scooters. The cops def have this covered scooting after the man spraying strange fluids at them. "I'm gonna get you! Brrrrrrrrr nee nee!"
>>64746508That's true, they're all in a pack mentality and like coyotes or wolves they're all waiting for one to take action so they can all follow. That's probably more a constant everywhere, nigs definitely fight like this. Individual moments in past wars were like that too.
I am about to import 80,500 of these indian hesbee 22 short single shot handguns. They are currently in transit being shipped from India.They have sat in storage as they were built in 1959 as gunlaws became more restricted in India. If you were in my shoes, how do I make this business venture successful. I purchased each pistol at 2160 rupees (around 24$) and they cost me ($1500 for import and $5000 in shipping) so i am in for abit under $2mil. Do you think people will actually buy these or should I put my house for sale ASAP?
>>64742593>importing jeetjank guns from indiaDamn, and everyone thought I lost my mind when I was running a south african surplus import business back in the day...
>>64742593I fully and utterly expect that at least one /k/ommando here would pull a pic related and buy at least a 100 of these just for shits and giggles.Though you're more likely to get buys by convicted niggas as some sort of replacement for a saturday night special.
>>64742593You might be able to sell them as trapper's guns, especially in states that have silly ass laws when it comes to regs on what guns you can dispatch with.>>64743073>smoothboreOh boy.>>64743093NTA but someone managed to crack the forcing cone on my H&R revolver. Given it only says "22 rim fire", I'm assuming either someone used Stingers in it or it's meant for something like 22 long only and someone used supersonic 22LR. Can't say for sure, it was a previous owner's fuckup. Fits CB, short, long, LR, but not sure what it's rated for given the markings. I'd say long/LR subs max, like 900-1000FPS.
>>64744323>get them to buy a 3 pack of the guns for the "special low price" of $200 so they can share them with family or friends.Lol I have seen Turkish shotguns sold like this, either in 3 or 5 at a time if you can convince a couple buddies to buy one with you.
What sort of business plan did you present to get a $2 million loan? I own a business, never had business loan nor shopped one but I get emails/letters nonstop offering them and the requirements for even $50-250k loans are crazy, can't imagine what a multi-million loan entails. Immaterial to that, I agree with the guy that said you should package deals. If you sold 5 for like $200-300, I'd definitely buy 10 of these. I'd be stashing them all around my house for the fuck of it. Taking a shit? Got a gun within reach. Tinkering in the garage? Got a gun within reach. Organizing the attic? Got a gun within reach.
