The M11 is acclaimed as an excellent special forces tier pistol. Why didn’t sig just modernize it to make the M18?22x series seem better than their janky precocked striker counterpart in every way except cost of manufacture.
>>64881285Not defending sig here, I would never own a US sig, but aren't basically all subcompacts like this?
>>64885976What?
why would you go with sig saar at any point these days given the vast amount of gun companies that are not run by ron cohen>checks online, he is getting replaces on march 1ststill not enoughalso, this price on LEO trade ins (aka unwanted because they might go off for no fucking reason) sig 320s too high?https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/black-friday.cfm/sale/used-firearms/brand/sig-saueri might get one if it was like $200 out the door but add in tax, ffl fee and shipping and over $300 is way too much for one of these
>>64888171Because I like DA/SA and their p239 seems to be an almost modern version of the Makarov which I really like. Beretta would have been the other cheap option but they’re way too wide.
>>64888171And yeah that’s too fucking high for a death trap. Once the price drops under 200$ I might buy one and the after market striker restraining safety kit.
What kind of damage good or bad could Australia do if we sold them one Nimitz class and taught them how to land on it? They already have growlers and regular carrier capable Super Hornets, would it be worth investing in F35Cs as well? What kind of uptime would be realistically achievable, would it be similar to Kuznetzov? How much power projection does this one carrier provide them?
Three is the normal quantity of a thing to have one operational. One out there one to replace it and the one that just got back for repair.
>>64889199>What kind of damage good or badWell it would probably bankrupt our defense budget, so there's that.Of course we probably could have afforded it if the mining super profits tax hadn't been gutted, but the jews saw to that.
Could ground robots break the current stalemate in Ukraine?
IMPLESSIVE!
>>64886724it's implessive propaganda for people like OP who spam it everywhere else in the vein hope it will impless someone else gullible.if you put a hole or anything new not previously part of the "scene" it's supposed to act out in front of one of these robots, they would fall over.
>>64889150Shooting the CGI drones out of the air with a rifle was funny, dedicated turret mounted AA guns could not pick quadcopters off with that level of accuracy, not that they'd ever group up and hover menacingly anyway.
>>64886332At this point only the US air force would be capable of breaking the stalemate, assuming you don't go nuclear.

How hard is home making a firearm? Have you tried? And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?
>>64888605I have "made" 10+ firearms. Mostly from parts kits available online. AMA
>>64889056Are the kits cheap and what material are they made from?
>>64889113>are the kits cheapNo. They will always cost more than the last time you looked so you should buy now.>what materials are they made fromParts kits are chopped up surplus firearms. So they are factory original parts usually, just with the receiver gone. It really depends on what kit you're looking at. Go browse apexgunparts.com or any other gun parts website to look at available kits
>>64888605>How hard is home making a firearm? Making something that will shoot one bullet once is incredibly easy. Accuracy, repeating, and reliability all make it a lot harder. The more off-the-shelf parts you use (especially fire control parts and barrels) the easier it gets. But barrelmaking and magazine geometry are always the hardest parts. A simple falling-block .22LR/Magnum survival rifle is an excellent starter project.>Have you tried? Obviously. Until my state effectively outlawed it. Not paying for a literal million-dollar insurance policy and constant police harassment for the "privilege" of operating an FFL.>And is reloading ammo worth a shot too?Depends on what you need and why. Some guns it's essentially required, especially with black powder and antiques. For 12g or 9mm there's really no point at all.
>>64888605>How hard is home making a firearm? Frankly it's not hard at all. Any motivated individual can probably cobble together a functional slam-fire 12GA with pieces of metal you'd find in an ordinary home's basement plumbing.A perfect example of this is the guy who smoked Shinzo Abe in Japan not so long ago - that was just a bunch of scrap metal taped together, and he killed the former leader of a first world nation. If you want to make something BETTER than that, a combination of skill, machinery access, time allotment, and experience will determine your outcome. IE if you've got experience, time, and skill, you can put together a nice, functional example with tools as simple as hand files and drill bits. If you've got machinery, time, and skill you can compensate for needed experience.If you've got machinery, time, and experience, you can develop skill.If you've got machinery, skill, and experience, you can obviously produce great things very rapidly.If you're going to make an attempt to produce decent firearms there's no way around investing in three of those four.>Have you tried?Comment too long.

Why the fuck does every AR build on the Internet have and treat a weapon light like it is essential? Pure larp. You're not clearing houses or doing socom shit.

The US sends a spec ops team into Central America to do some black ops stuff or whatever, when a Predator shows up to hunt them. How would they do against it, with modern technology but no preparation?
>>64881256Yeah seriously. If the US gov. wanted the Predator dead, it would take them no time at all. Constant drone cameras that can easily keep up with it would suffice to shut down the invis. Perhaps EMP would fuck with the elecrical stuff. It also can clearly be harmed by gunfire, so just film it constantly and surround it with a few guys who are always aware of the location. Also>Ceaseless Watcher, turn your gaze upon this wretched thing.
>>64888323It wasn't taken down by gunfire in either of the movies. In the first Dutch killed it by slamming logs bigger than it into it, and in 2 Harrigan killed the LA hunter when he managed to get one of it's one weapons away from it.
>>64888812"If it bleeds, we can kill it"True not killed, but definitely can be harmed. I am pretty sure I used the word "harmed".
>>64887836Glownigger war tourist. Since you have so many resources at your disposal, can you let us know if Galaxy is in Uni now?
>>64881165Nah. It took Gary busey a decade to track it from south America to LA, and in the end it wasn't thermals or anything that gave it away, it was its body odor rendered through special cameras; indicating its cloak blocks heat as well. There wouldn't be anything your average modern SOF team would have that would give them an edge, especially if they had no foreknowledge, best they could hope for is to call in Jdams on every weird noise or suspicious movement. They might confuse it with thermal-blocking clothing, but we saw how long that works in predator 2 and would a SOF team deployed to an 85 degree jungle really even bring thermal camo?>muh dronesPredators used their own drones in the later movies, they know what a quadrotor is and probably would have countermeasures to bring if they felt the hunt warranted it.
>bismuth bulletsAny good, or is bismuth too rare for this to be worthwhile?
>>64888419>why are australians such economic retards?It really is as simple as the fact that the UK used it as a giant prison colony for so long. Ship a bunch of people over there with significantly lower IQ than the general population for so long and what do you expect to happen?
>>64888391>poorfag pepto-bismolWhat do you think the 'bis' in 'bismol' means, retard?

>>64886953>>64887176>>64887266>>64887706Why spend all that money updating an old rifle when you can get a new one? I don’t get it. A nice sporter has got to be like just as much as a good quality modern bolt gun. I mean the receivers on these guns are like 100 years old. Sure you can rebarrel them, even rechamber them but how long until the bold head shears off or receiver cracks? Yeah I know some people want these guns to be in their families for a long time but wouldn’t a fancy new rifle make just as good a heirloom rifle in another 100? How do you know your great grandkids are even going to want to shoot a 200 year old action? What if nobody but select hobbiest are making .303 British and .30-06. It would be like kid today inheriting a sporterized 1869 vetterli. Yeah he might enjoy it, might even shoot it a couple of times, but overall it still ends up as a novelty item. He’d probably enjoy shooting the 1903 Springfield or 1945 Lee-Enfild more because it’s more accessible. Same thing for kids in 2126, Timmy might enjoy shooting your CZ 600 in .308 more than your Sporterized Lee-Enfield because there’s still lots of that old .308 still around and only a handful of autist are still making .303 British.
>>64887764>Why spend all that money updating an old rifle when you can get a new one?idk about foreign markets, but rifles weren't popular on the US market until WWI. Something like 95-98% of all rolling blocks sold we military style guns. if you exclude russian contract guns, which made up like 2/3rds or 3/4ths of winchester 1895 production the henry rifle, 1866 winchester, 1876 winchester, 1885 winchester, 1886 winchester and 1895 winchester all sold less than 200k or less than 300k rifles each. The surplus rifles on the market were way cheaper than any factory guns at the time and most sporter jobs were the guy who bought the rifle for like $10 cutting it down himself or having someone else cut it down for cheap. idk why the nice ones exist. Like idk if the guy in OP made it himself or if he paid for a nice gun. at that point a factory gun would have made more sense
Some Bubba'd rifles are sexy because they have a utilitarian, Americana charm (or the same thing but from whatever nation) AND display good workmanship.Most Bubbas are just full retard though.
>>64889157Why did he weld a bar of steel to the gun? to use as a barrel wrench?
>>64889167Yeah, looks like it. But he welded on the receiver ring so god knows what that'll do to the heat-treatment/integrity of the receiver when he threads a new barrel in a test fires it.
When you guys are at a busy public outdoor range to zero optics, what solution would you recommend to check your impacts in between groups so you're not running out every 5 seconds like a brownoid without a prefeontal cortex?
>>64889039I have a spotter scope from amazon and I usually shoot shoot and see targets. the spotter scope is kind of ass to set up but ok when it's on the target
>>64889047I can see the utility in that but this range is 100yds max and thatd be way too narrow for what I'm doing now lol. Typically I'm zeroing for 25 (this mp5) 36 or 50 for my ars.
>>64889053Binocs will be more than fine at 100 yards. Spotting scopes are a huge hassle and I refuse to use them.
>>64889039Another gun with a scope.
I'm hitting this plate seated at 100 yds somewhat consistently, pretty happy with this setup.
Stupid Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own ThreadLast one hit bump limit >>64827855What are the real uses of derringer-type guns? I sincerely wonder, I am neither pro nor anti derringer. I have never even touched one. I just wonder if they have a use that ultra-compact guns could not fulfill.

>>64887048>big coolers>cast iron cookware>innawoodsmore like innaparkinglot
>>64887985Because putting down livestock is a deliberate action, you don't wander your property (all the while "lugging around" your humane killer of choice) looking for stock to kill.

>>64888981PLAN: Establish quarantine perimeter around island. Permanent UAV overwatch covering every foot of the island. Gunships on standby to seek and destroy aggressors if spotted outdoors. Site schematics will be consulted to identify all exits and infrastructure that may provide movement avenues to the enemy. Ground forces will be staged on an offshore FOB. Materiel movement is one directional from FOB to island but before anything can return, it must first be decontaminated and scanned at fortified onshore outpost to prevent enemy spreading beyond island. Ground team will be comprised of as many units available at time of outbreak, plus reinforcements arriving over time. Facility will be first mapped by robotic forces to map enemy concentrations. Ground squads will include flamers and portable thermobarics (think: portable hellbomb from HD2) in addition to standard weaponry and sensors. Exits, chokepoints and intersections will be reinforced with automated sentry guns brought in by subsequent teams in order to reduce the enemy's area of control. Resupplies will be carried out by airdrop and/or robotic courier. CASEVAC will be performed by unmanned airlift, bound for on shore outpost.Forces are to track and box in any isolated xenomoporh that is encountered. Plasma cutters and breaching tools may be employed to access conduits used by the enemy for movement. If primordial nests in process of formation are identified, forces are to prioiritize delivery of thermobarics to central nesting chamber. To avoid capture by the enemy, all troops are to be equipped with a dead man switch that triggers embedded explosives within the body armor at T+5 minutes of cessation of life signs.
>this shit againI'm going start making copies of my resume. Anyone know if Armat or Hyperion are hiring?
Its primary mission is Offensive Surface Strike.How will that work with only Mk49 RAM?
>>64889043>FF(X) isn't useful in a peer war eitherSure>and it's even less upgradeable.Not true, there's some internal space in the class for Mk41s. Both LCS classes are very finely tuned, meaning large alterations will be a nightmare.
>>64888532>Navy still refuses to dump flight decks on its dead weight definition of this particular class of ships Dump the flight deck and uparm these new frigates with added missiles and more defensive capabilities. This isn't the Coast Guard where they absolutely need flight decks for things like search and rescue or apprehending traffickers at sea.
>>64889060If they get rid of the flightdeck they will have zero ASW capabilities.
>>64889060No retard. If you want firepower just buy another Burke. Heli operation is required for interdiction and sea patrol. You know, the stated role of these ships.
>>64889055>there's some internal space in the class for Mk41sNo there's not, which is why Flight 0 will not be equipped with VLS and they'll have to either lengthen the ship or decide what features are optional with Flight 1. Hell, Flight 0 won't even have a RHIB, they're sticking a shipping container full of Hellfires where the boat ramp goes. There are Freedoms equipped this very moment with Hellfires and a boat ramp at the same time.
If you look at some of the militia records both when colonists moved to the US in the 1600 and 1700s and some of the muster records for militia men during the Revolution, a lot of guy didn't own guns. What did people in Colonial America and elsewhere I guess use as personal arms prior to widespread gun ownership in the US? Like did peasants owns spears?
>>64886233>fighting... LE BAD!!!Go back.>>64886000The sport of Hurling was also analogous to stickfighting practice, and irishmen used it as an excuse to carry clubs.

>>64885226>>64885416>>64885936That isn't a typo, a 'slungshot' is a completely different weapon. It is a lead ball used to weigh fishing nets with a rope around it looped over your wrist that is used as a concealed black jack.
>>64887980Yes retard that's the point some idiot in government saw "slungshot", figured it was a typo, "corrected" it to slingshot, and as a result slingshots got banned.
>>64887980yeah I know.>e. Certain weapons.

Some retard working for the NJ government, either as the actual legislator or as a clerk or staffer or something saw the word "slungshot" thought it was a typo and then changed to to "slingshot". It's listed next to other concealable impact and leather based weapons so it's obviously supposed to be a slung shot
