Why did they killed it?
>>64697272Literally a hundred million jeets online and ever more realistic AI posting. The social aspects of the internet are basically over at this point. Its gonna be thirdies arguing about izzat from here on out.

>>64706651Start a podcast, you two. I'd love to hear some gunstore wagie complaining about gun owners all day while I shovel shit into ditches or whatever.
>>64705808People like them because they're cheap, reliable enough, and run steel case. I have a SCAR, but if I didn't and had to get a .308, I would get an AR, or wait for the SCAR 2.0/ARKA to come out and just live with the fact that it's going to be expensive. Either is going to have better ergos and be easier to mount optics to than a PTR, FAL, or M14 clone.
>>64706930PTRs have welded rails
New m113 lore just dropped >IDF deems M113 insufficient for protecting troops>puts them into storage >October 7th war breaks out >put back into service >stuffed with 3 tons of explosives >remote controlled and driven into Gaza city in groups of 5-6>hamas fighters come out of hiding eager for a fight against vehicles with a reputation for vulnerability >wipes out city block https://www.reuters.com/graphics/ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS/DEMOLITION/jnvwkkxdlvw/Is this a good use of the M113
>>64703997The clinging to solid colors uniforms is something pleasant. Nice to see a Western army with something other than Multicam.
>>64699960>>hamas fighters come out of hiding eager for a fight against vehicles with a reputation for vulnerabilityIt's cute that Israeli drones come up with this fanfiction to cope with their constant military failures.
>>64703997Well the last couple years has shown the IDF to be WAY too inept to actually defeat any of their enemies so these retarded propaganda stunts and baby killing is really all they have left keeping their national identity alive.
>>64707027And yet they continue to expand their territory and kill their enemies. Except now the enemies don’t even fight back anymore.What a divine victory for the axis of resistance inshallah
>>64706994MadStill waiting on that retaliation btw
Good or bad idea? Got really into the modern minute man concept last year and built a rifle around it. >18" Barrel>69gr match points (reloading my own)>1-8x LPVO Great for the range and a lot of fun to shoot at paper with, but when I went to LARP with it, it wasn't what I hoped it to be. A hair below 8lbs fully loaded and long enough to catch on stuff, I realized what I thought and what I wanted were two different things. Now, with SBRs (and Suppressors) having free tax stamps I can do different things. Shortening the barrel as much as possible to save on weight, make it handier, and save space for a can seems the way to go. 300AAC also preforms best in 10" barrels. I also realized min-maxing for targets out to 600yds was kind of stupid too, as it's a bit excessive in the dense areas I play pretend. The shorter effective range a heavier, slower 30 cal projectile would be fine, as well as a non-magnifed/fixed magnification optic to lighten my load. Would 300AAC be the round for fantasies well I stomp around in the local national forest? I'm also interested in not having to get new mags, I acquired the loading dies in an estate sale, and I do like how well it lends itself to suppression.
>>64706266It certainly is capable in the woods. .300 BLK and 7.62x39 are comparable in power to 30-30, so they'll kill whatever predator is attacking you; just make sure they're legal in your area. Game wardens suck in my area; they'll try to fine you for anything. 1-8x LPVO is overkill for any intermediate cartridge. You'll never really shoot past 500 yards with a round like that, so a 3x (for 300 yards), 4x (for 400 yards), or 5x (for 500 yards) is perfectly adequate.>>64706286>its literally just 7.62x39 but ARNTA, but while they are very similar, there are some differences. .300 BLK uses faster-burning powder, so it's better than 7.62 with 8-12" barrels, and 7.62x39 has slower-burning powder and is better than .300 BLK with 16"+ barrels, which is why I prefer the Soviet one for my case, and OP will prefer .300 BLK for his 10" barrel.>>64706427>Does 556 REALLY work that well out of a barrel that short?NTA, it works good enough assuming you are using 75-77 grain projectiles flying at supersonic velocities and are shooting at targets less than 200 meters. The 20" AR was optimized for 55-grain ammo and 300 meters, the 14.5" AR was optimized for 62-68-grain ammo and 275 meters, and the 10.3" AR was optimized for 75-77-grain ammo and sub-200 meters. Using lighter ammo than what is recommended will lose effective range; for example, shooting 55-grain ammo out of a 10.3" barrel will cause the round to stop fragmenting at a mere 85 yards (give or take), which is why people recommend the overpriced 70+ grain stuff. Back to the original topic, the chance of one taking a shot farther than 150 meters in thick woods is very low due to the foliage, so having a precision rifle for 600 yards seems like overkill.
>>64706286>do you not fucking know why we used SKS's for the classic "innawoods" because it used to be dirt cheap?
>>64706614>future innawoods posts will now be made with PSA ARs
>>64706616i think they already are lmao
>>64706616>>64706990They have been forever. The last "cheap" SKSs were back in like 2019 when we got a bunch of Norinco ones. Even then they were still like $300 and a poverty pony was only slightly more. The good times were a long time ago. Anyone who was under 18 in 2020, sadly, a good portion of this board, missed out completely.
So here is my glorious Century Arms AK after a fire and 4 years rusting in a scrap heap. A couple folks i know have been watching youtube and gotten into restoration, they are competing with each other to see what is the worst one they can fix. Well i'm gonna give it a try.As far as i can tell the lower and are fine, however all the sheet metal and most of everything else is unsalvageable. The plan is to whenever possible replace the irreparable components with items from a 'Asian parts kit' aka a Type 58. So what is my first step, put in a 5 gallon bucket of water, dump in some Borax and hook up a battery charger?
>>64704914I've done is several times in the past mostly on old tools. It's neat because you can actually see it just falling off. I need full sun to do it, my solar system is pretty small.
>>64704889i coincidentally came up with basically the same rust remover recipe, just without the bakingsodai just figured 2 acids would be better than one, didn't even know if it actually worked any better until i saw his results lol
>>64703796Not sure what you mean by the barrel being off, populated barrels usually have cant to them since it's not easy to align everything properly. Your whole rust removal is reall overkill to just get it running, there's no hope of restoring it. Clean out the barrel and sliding surfaces with a wire brush and lubricate generously, maybe ream out the gas port, the springs being dead or a rotted gas tube would be the only things that would stop it from firing/cycling
>>64706783The bolt is frozen halfway in battery, i need to unstick it to get the piston out so the rust needs to go before i can move anything. >Not sure what you mean by the barrel being offThe gun is a few degrees bent where the barrel meets the trunnion, it clearly had something heavy fall on it. Mostly this is archeology at this point, i'm just curious as to how much i can clean it up.
>>64707015Brass hammer to the charging handle. If the receiver is pinched it's not much effort to straighten it out. It's only 14 or 12ga steel and usually only hardened at the rivet and fcg group holes.
were important because every naval maneuver was planned with the consideration "what if a battleship shows up?".there werent many grand battleship engagements but that was on purpose because every side planned around them, an in effect battleships shaped every naval action
>>64706752Which, in its most successful outing, took months to bring down 22 ships. The voyages themselves were impressive for the ships & crews involved, but in the larger scheme of things it meant little. A few episodes of Britain putting large warships on alert and going on the hunt, and the Germans escaping back to port, except for the times they didn't. The heart of the problem goes back to the German prewar delusions of: Plan-Z fleet buildup would be a thing, and they could keep Britain out of the war (or even have them as allies) and only worry about countering France.
>>64706474Most shore bombard was conducted by destroyers
>>64706290This image makes me so hard
>>64706800Yeah. And when Oldendorf crossed the T with his battleships at the Surigao Strait, I'm sure he was concerned about how obsolete his flotilla was whilst putting the last Jap naval threat on the bottom.
>>64706944He had the support of destroyers and PT boats which had already put a hurting on Nishimura. And there ain't nothing obsolete about good radar and 14-16in shells raining down in 1944.

>>64692616>PAX-3 is HMX blended with aluminum for enhanced blastHow resistant to fire is it? I've seen several videos of russians getting fried by their own grenades or land mines when these take red hot fragments from exploding drones. They do not detonate, just conflagrate in a manner similar to a lithium battery fire.

Just bought two new pair of Luccheses.
>>64706130Gonna need a pic here.
>>64706136first pair. Will take a pic of the second when im home. But their slightly lighter than this one.
>>64706196Probably last a lifetime, if you resole them.
Scar newfag here again - does anyone have any recommendations for slings? Not looking for anything crazy or tacticool (necessarily), just a solid 2 point that would be comfortable to carry it around with.First batch of google-fu turned up BFG Vickers being well reviewed, but the mounts are really throwing me off. Would prefer something that isn't going to unduly scratch shit up.
Whatever happened CC bros? I miss Dugan so fucking much but he upped and disappeared one day. Rumors in the comments said he was diagnosed with something.
>>64706858homie has MS
he has a youtube channel where he makes explosives now and a discord.he is getting treatment for MS and it has been relatively successful
>>64706864I miss him man, I really do. He reminded me of how awesome YouTube was back in the days. Did YouTube stopped being good or I'm I just nostalgic for better days?
>>64706870>Did YouTube stopped being good or I'm I just nostalgic for better days?the internet became Serious Business in addition to getting flooded with normies and thirdies. the good days are long gone.
He didn't cuck to the feds and so he got hit with the CIA bioweapon.This is also why the only "gun guys" left on YT today are feds or shills.

>>64706796I’m a huge proponent of No.1 buck. Even Dr. Roberts noted in his research that it caused 30%-35% more tissue damage than the same weight of 00 buck. It’s not as common and federal discontinued their No.1 buck flite control a few years back which is kind of a pain, but in general it’s an amazing load in my opinion. 16x .30 cal pellets at 1300fps is no joke.
>>64706796>rubber buckyis that for shooting jeep faggots?
>>64707009>federal discontinued their No.1 buck flite What. I'm not even into shotguns and I know the #1 flite control was the meta.
This is the bare minimum amount of ammo you need. 3 or 4 mag placards are cope.

>>64690054Depends on where you're fighting. All of the old MACVSOG guys directly correlated how low you could get to the ground with your probability of living. Their packs would always be shot full of holes.
Why is there so little media about this conflict? Americans fighting actual reds with WW2 tech is badass even if it wasn’t a total victory but I guess frostbite and getting swarmed by human waves doesn’t make for good recruitment propaganda.

Mao Anying died in the Korean war.
>>64705049Here's a topic I actually know something about from college.The Korean War is a mixed bag of colossal fuck-ups and brilliant victories by the United States in both tactical and strategic senses.Task Force Smith was an utter mistake by the American government. Those troops got their asses kicked for extremely obvious reasons. MacArthur corrected that with a masterpiece at Inchon. And then he went full-retard threatening China with nuclear weapons, right up against their border on the Yalu, against Truman's orders. China invades to self-protect with zillions of cannon fodder, which America isn't prepared to deal with. It ends with an uneasy armistice. MacArthur got fired for making a very obviously stupid fuck-up. He was a raging Republican, btw. And Truman got ousted by Eisenhower, a Republican who had 10 thousand percent more political sense than Mac ever had. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

So im working on a worldbuilding project inspired by the war on terror and im curious how /k/ thinks ground combat will look in like 200 years. Will armored vehicles have their own drone support systems? Will AI lead militaries? Will we have D-Day boat style dropships unloading soldiers in the middle of warzones? Will we finaly get mechs or will the square cube law still be a MASSIVE faggot?
>>64706506These are my ideas but i want to make them authentic. That's why i asked this board.
will the marines be using multicam or aor?
>>64705588Why don't you use your own imagination you absolute boring ducking faggot
>>64706526200 years is a long time for technology to develop. The internet is only 35 ish years old. And only really mass adopted for at most 20.
>>64705588>So im working on a worldbuilding project inspired by the war on terror and im curious how /k/ thinks ground combat will look in like 200 years.Due to dysgenics (see Helmut Nyborg, double relaxed darwinian selection paper) future average IQ of just about any country in 200 years will be sub 70 or even lower. I've read a lot of modern american scifi and americans have these ideas of the future that are completely incompatible with the present. If you just make up things, it isnt scifi, its fantasy. F.ex Star Trek isnt scifi, its fantasy, in a non magical setting.
Last one has been dead awhile. I'm in the market for a stribog lower, don't care which mags it takes, I need it for a reference model. So if anyone has an extra one they don't know what to do with, sell it to me.
Are people who shoot traditional archery just trying to compensate for having no personality?
>>64703551stop replying to yourself because your autofellating thread failed, OP
