Whatever happened to the patch threads?
FUCK PKThat's all
>>64768396what the fuck did he do?
>>64768413Wife ordered me patches for Christmas. They arrived in January. Fucking nigger.
>>64763770>The patch thread and /ak/ have the highest percentage of hasguns of any given thread on this board/prg/ was always pretty decent too but like 10 anons or something in it so dunno if that counts
>>64768525Fair.It is a but of an outlier due to the low population, it also occurs every month or so. While the /ak/ consistently rolls into a new thread and the patch thread used to do the same.
Will it ultimately be a cult hit like the AR-15?
>>64768460Lol the only AR I even bother cleaning is my mk18. Fat gas port plus a can gets it to the point of not closing fully with the bolt release button after awhile. Everything else is pretty much just yoink the bcgs out, squirt with clp, shove it back in, good to go.
>>64767072>s a DMR type weapon its unmatchedmy brother in christ it patterns about as well as the standard service rifle from 90 years ago, the fucking SVD is unironically more accurate
>>64768492The Spear being outshot by a fucking Dragunov is pretty embarrassing.>>64768491I imagine that makes a difference, yeah.
>>64768492>the fucking SVD is unironically more accurateTeeBeeEff, the SVD attains a smidge over 1 MOA if you use that specialized ammo meant for the rifle, but that's still a greater mechanical accuracy than the M7 has, so...
>>64768460God you morons probably don't even sharpen your firing pins.

Would a ZPAPM70 be worth getting over a WASR if its only $300 more?
>>64768571No
>>64768571If you prefer Yugo pattern for whatever reason, sure. Otherwise, no.It's not "better" in any way you should be worrying about, the bulged trunnion was done for the purpose of rifle grenades, not longevity of the rifle being used as a rifle.

Low level bombing mission in the Pacific, note the parafrag bombs trailing.>>64767508Are you thinking of another aircraft?>On the night of 14–15 August 1944, "Impatient Widow", attempted to intercept a Heinkel He 177A-5 of 5.Staffel/Kampfgeschwader 40, flown by Hptm. Stolle. "Impatient Widow" had its starboard engine shot out along with oil lines and hydraulics, and went down north of Barfleur, Normandy.
I think I'm starting to develop some sort of anxiety the more that I go through these. I click on some video clip that has a mundane title and find it to be an assortment of clips that include a Hellcat landing on a carrier with half a wing missing, then a combat report with a name like "No.73616 #2/76" has an account of heroism the likes I've never seen. The sheer mass of stuff thats out there waiting to be seen, hidden behind droll titles and pages of otherwise uninteresting documents, not to mention the huge quantity of stuff thats NOT uploaded. So much is there but every document or collection I pass by I wonder if I'm missing somrthing incredible
>A Floating Drydock YFD-6 Transiting CanalTo permit passage through the canal locks, Navy SeaBees turned YFD-6's center section on its side. A thousand Navy pontoons were installed atop the wing wall to allow the drydock to float on its side during the canal transit.

Also, MKE A3 stocks are like $325 on Atlantic if you're looking for something that's meant for real guns but not $900>>64766076Agreed, it's also just attractive as hell. Flip your stock rails so the teeth are on the bottom though
>>64766097Noted>>64766518It’s heavy but I’ve never had any problems. W/ a2 stock, polymer grip pack, triangle handguard, and having swapped the SW solid steel charging handle for a polymer/steel HK handle it still clocks in at 7lbs (16 barrel though)

Guys, I'm stumped on a suppressor, and I could use some random strangers' opinions.I'm looking for 3-lug and DT, classic-looking (longish and smoothish), full auto capable, and something I can also use with a 9mm handgun occasionally. Price isn't a major concern and I don't particularly need it to be modular.Top contenders are (no particular order):>Obsidian 9 (everywhere here locally and cheap, but not particularly good looking)>Wolfman (seems good all around, better sound performance than Obsidian)>Sidewinder m2 (good looking, but need to do more research)>Mojave 9 (light weight, reduced back flow of gasses, but don't like the cleaning aspect with non-removable baffels, or the full auto with subsonic only)

>>64760955>>64763337>>64765477>>64765484>>64765501>>64765983Question is are they actually good? Or are they even worse as Chinkshit often is?
>>64768091Right, this is the core question. I have nothing inherent against buying cheaper clones (or even improvements) if they perform, and it's plenty of foreign players produce extremely high quality stuff but without the US MIC bullshit markup. But implementation details matter a lot for a holo sight and I wouldn't get something crap JUST to save money because they're still more expensive then a basic red dot, so if I purely wanted something budget I wouldn't go with one in the first place.

>>64764860Your cope is extremely misplaced here.
>>64768442>other than the fact it couldn't have been done, there was nothing remarkable about it.
>>64768442I'd say that having both the infrastructure to build it at scale and a design that could be built at scale at all are both pretty impressive for the era.
>>64766253I rather like the phrase that newspapers occasionally used circa 1945-1946: "the cosmic bomb". Ditto for the period before "cruise missile" became standard and you saw terms like "robot bomb" being applied to the V1 (and somewhat amusingly, the USAAF originally called cruise missiles "drones" before briefly switching to "pilotless bombers")

will there ever be a market for 1.75" minishells, and 22wmr, 17hmr, 17wsm rimfires?what gun ideas do you have for these cartridges?
>>6476549120ga minishell slugs and buckshot loads for survival/hunting. Can carry more ammo for less weight and essentially the same effect as a 12. Bird shot would still need to be fullsize to get adequate throw and spread. Would save a lb off the gun and double the ammo you could take.>22wmrThese already got wildly popular. Where you been? There's 30rd 22 mag semi autos rn. I don't think realistically you could do much better. ARs are available in the round too. What id really like to see is more guns in 17 WSM like Franklin Armory put out as a middle finger to WMAs/ game laws specifically made so people can only hunt using shitty boomer rifles/cartridges. Love what they're doing there and I think it's a great idea. Nice for some restricted countries too.
>>64765491I use 22 mag in my backup pocket revolver for around the house. Rest of the family can handle it too with the low recoil.
>>64765491I like minishells. IMO they are cute, cheap and fun and PAINLESS to shoot.WTF is not to like?
>>64766791>Badass. Would.Just saying, accessories make rhe outfit.
>>64765491how well do these slugs out to 75 yards?
If you could infuse any animal/insect with humans to create the perfect super soldier, which animal would you choose?

Hello /k/, I am writing a story and would like some feedback please if my idea is feasible for a firearm. In the story a small number of people have to start out from scratch, they have their modern theorethical knowledge but nothing else. The goal is to make a firearm that is reliable and can take down big game. They are a couple years in, currently they can manufacture iron and low quantities high grade steel.Current constraints are the inability to manufacture mercury fulminate or lead azide nor can they draw thin-walled brass cartridges.My idea was they come up with an anachronistic rifle: single-shot, lever-actuated falling block action with a flintlock. .60 caliber, the barrel would be rifled, 32-inch long, for now wrought iron. Steel is used only for the mainspring and frizzen spring. For munition a paper cartridge. As far as I understand they would need to add a gas seal on the face of the block to mitigate leaks from the breech.Could you tell me how retarded is this for a first gun for a budding civilisation that needs force multipliers against megafauna? Feel free to suggest upgrades to be implemented at the start/down the line.
>>64766027I was going to add that its not great, the concept just sounded similar. It's got some good ideas to it but they are wasted>>64766029Yeah should have mentioned it isn't actually a great book
For added context, the rifle would be used mainly for hunting, and maybe for an all hands on deck situation when something comes lumbering towards the settlement. The megafauna part was added mainly that it would be hopefully enough to annoy some larger predator enough so it would fuck off. I do not intend them to 1v1 a T-rex
>>64766099Man I need to proofread more.
>>64766106Lmao good luck writing the story in that case, you gonna post the draft? In the least anons can proofread it for you.
>>64765784>That context>Cartridge riflesYeah, nah. Without at least 18th century industrial capabilities you're looking at smoothbore caplocks at the absolute best and more likely flintlocks or matchlocks.>Current constraints are the inability to manufacture mercury fulminate or lead azideYou could go straight to smokeless. Nitric and sulfuric acids go back to the middle ages and you can get cellulose from plant starches. Or you could harvest high-cellulose fibers from some plant and subject it to nitration.>>64766099>The megafauna part was added mainly that it would be hopefully enough to annoy some larger predator enough so it would fuck off. I do not intend them to 1v1 a T-rexIn that case you'd probably be better off with flashbangs and poisons.

>>64768218>>64768290I don’t know much about frankenglocks, but I think most people recommend brownells for cheap Gen 3 slides.
>>64768296its more expensive but it doesnt include a barrel. thanks for the recommendation though.
Going to be trying out the Mec-Gar 18-rounder with my Glock 17. There were issues reported about them last year though mostly with clones like the RXM and non-OEM modifications. In any case, 10 months should have been long enough for necessary updates but I'll let you guys know if something goes wrong>>64768281That the Glock 19.5? Well done, LBA
Any recommendations on good but cheap shoulder holsters? Ones that point the gun down.
What are your views on these?Will they dominate or are they overhyped?What are their advantages and drawbacks?
>>64768347>can build star wars droids>cant even build a shitty prop droneStrategic implications?
>>64767946Yeah the robot ghost of kiev obviously
Overhyped but will have a place when it comes to defenseImagine the enemy thinks an area is clear after scouting it with an aerial drone, they miss these since they emit no heat when turned off, and as they move forward you turn these on remotely to ambush them
>>64768502Lmao>simpsons predicted itHahahSo sort of like a landmine?
>>64768548>So sort of like a landmine?That's what I'm thinking

I feel like I have restless .22lr syndrome more than I have restless AR syndrome. I haven't really change my AR in years
>>64768467I can vouch for the Victory, too. Very reliable, even when I'm shooting dirt cheap bulk ammo.
>>64768494The MK IV is a way better suppressor host than a Glock 44. Always avoid tilting block designs unless you want to have to put a ton of effort into getting it to run well; if you don't care about concealability, it's a way better hunting pistol and range toy than a Glock too. I will warn you that the target pistol is a bit heavier; that's why they are extremely pleasant to shoot.
I got my AR configured how I wanted it years ago and haven't changed anything since. I still enjoy shooting it. That said I've been bitten by the .22 bug hard the last year or so, been enjoying the piss out of shooting an old Mossberg .22 I found in a wall with a vintage optic, and now I'm getting my 10/22 suppressed and decked out how I want.
>>64768513this, i have the 6-inch and something hunter and it's a bit heavy to shoot one-handed. I'd get the shorter model, I think it's 4-inch and something. I bought mine from a guy who did the mexican bullseye thing, has a 4x handgun scope and everything.
I just put the bead back on my henry. I gotta see if it works with the skinner rear sight because the post was so much higher, but this is so much nicer than the post. the only slight negative is it's harder to pick up in bad light because I had the post painted, but it feels so much better on the eyes and it's easier to center a bead than a post and it doesn't give me 6 o'clock autism
