All things precision shooting, no experience necessary. Discuss rifles, barrels, action, glass, loads, groups, competitions, and anything else related to the pursuit of tighter groups and longer shots.
>>64752753>mount rifle in vise>check level with a bubble level>put on scope>hang a string with a weight on somewhere in front of the rifle so you can see it on the scope>rotate scope until the reticle aligns with the stringOr alternatively just buy a scope leveling bubble kit from Aliexpress for $5
>>64752980couldnt you just also put the bubble level on the elevation turret after the gun is leveled?
>>64753049You could but your assuming the turret is level and square and the retical is level and square to the turret

Why wouldn't something like pic related work fine as a "do everything" gun for a person living in the densely forested hills of Appalachia, where the power and ballistic advantage of a rifle simply isn't necessary?>plinking will be good fun with the naturally subsonic .45>definitely suitable for home defense>easy enough to fit in a backpack, or take the can off and carry it on your person>get some .45 Super for killing deer or hogs, or mess around with round ball loadings for taking small game or for pest controlYes, it's true that rifles can be had for dirt cheap these days. And it's also true that there is no real reason to limit yourself to just one gun, especially a handgun. But in an autistic min-max fantasy where you literally can only own one gun and it has to be able to be carried 24/7/365, does a suppressed .45 automatic make sense? The only real downside I see here is that this is not the best option for summertime concealed carry in hot climates.
>>64752331LMAO I assure you copper solids, aluminum core, or steel core 5.7 are out penetrating 99% of the rounds people carry in 9mm.>>64752353>Doubt. It’s a higher pressure bottleneck round.Maybe if you're retarded and don't know what subsonic ammunition is. Suppression is a function of bore diameter and gas. 5.7 is absolutely quieter than any 9mm pistol out there.
>>64753456>all those fancy 5.7 loadsUnless all the bullet’s mass is in a thin tungsten penetrator with the jacket shearing off upon penetration, 9mm is getting mogged by really anything bottlenecked. 5.7 has ~2.5x as much sectional energy.
>>64753456>LMAO I assure you copper solids, aluminum core, or steel core 5.7 are out penetrating 99% of the rounds people carry in 9mm.My guy, if you have to compare special 5.7 bullets to regular 9mm bullets, then it doesnt really prove anything. There is armor piercing 9mm ammo in the wild too, but nobody cares because they aren't what people have access to. You aren't handloading steel core 5.7 ammo and I am not loading 7n31 so throw both out the window and compare FMJ to FMJ and hollow point to hollow point. 9mm winds both contests and you only have 3 fewer rounds in the mags. It's cool if you like 5.7, but don't cope about it not being as effective as you think it is. Accept it and look at the 5.7's real benefits over 9mm. Reduced recoil, higher velocity, better BC, and a much flatter trajectory.Also, who gives a shit about subsonic 5.7 ammo you are basically just shooting 22lr at that point? Does it even cycle the action? 5.7 is not something you should bother suppressing as it is supersonic in any load that is worth using and if you are shooting subs (assuming that they cycle the action) why use 5.7 instead of 22lr? That's stupid.
>>64753583NTA. He didn’t have to compare specialty 5.7 loads. All 5.7 will outpenetrate all 9mm save for dedicated 9mm AP loads.Also,>my guyFuck off. It’s “my nigger” around these parts.

I just ordered a .308 CZ600 range for 1100 yurobucks (they usually go for 1300), did I fuck up
>>64751982>Virtually.Europe used to have lions.
>>64752278the 600 was a fuckup. the current model is 600+, which again offers the quick swap barrel, hopefully done right
>>64753307>Europe used to have lions.Maybe the extinction of the cave lions are not to be lamented? It seems that the extinctification of cave bears and cave lions gave rise to h. Sapian dominance over the entire European continent, as the range of lions, up to modern day can also find coincidence with the under developed countries. Perhaps just a fluke.
>>64753604or perhaps the dominance of humans lead to extinction of cave lions and the other megafauna. who knows
>>64753700>the dominance of humans lead to extinction of cave lionsSorry, I implied this and was not clear.>>64753267>would hunt Megaloceros>While most abundant in Eurasia,fossil evidence confirms its presence in North America, though it was a distinct species within the same giant deer lineage, not a direct ancestor of modern North American elk.In NA, also. Plus we had Megathierium, the giant ground sloth. And Priodontes maximus, the largest living armadillo. About like a 6 foot round ball, with bones that have revealed clear human predation in Central America. Surelu a .308 would have been good enough for all these, perhaps excepting the cave bear (short faced brown bear) and the cave lion. .338winmag for those guys, if not .378 Weatherby.
I gave myself tinnitus dry firing an airgun indoorsFucking hate this piece of shit
>>64753362What man doesn't want to take a cute woman out on his day off?
>>64753339deflagration and detonation are not the samedetonation creates a shockwave which is what will rape your hearingdieseling doesn't cause a visible fireball, just smokeI'm telling you in the real world with the springer I have it is not nearly that loud and it has never come close to even making my ears uncomfortable until it randomly blew the fuck up with the dry fire
>>64753552I'm too lazy to do the back of the napkin calcs myself, but thankfully someone did them for me>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/274638905_Internal_Ballistics_of_Spring_Piston_Airgunswith those pressure and temperatures, you're absolutely on the detonation side of the curve
>>64753552Ah actually, you know what, I think I know the mechanism behind your detonation. You had a significant amount of oil in your air rifle, including in the barrel, and it was sufficient to burn all the way to the muzzle, with a DDT along the barrel. The fireball means there was still fuel for the reaction at the muzzle. The lack of restriction would've meant if anything you should've had a deflagration instead of a detonation, but *if* you had enough fuel, and there were enough aerosolized fuel in your barrel as well, then it could've potentially gone through a DDT, but you'd have to have had a fuel-air mixture in the barrel and not just in the piston. In any case, exact mechanism aside, it's the same exact phenomena as dieseling, and has the same exact root cause, which is what everybody has been telling you, you had the wrong oil in the gun.>I didn't take it apartyeah I didn't say you put it there, these things aren't exactly well regulated and the manufacturer could've very well used something prone to detonation. why it didn't detonate when you were firing it normally, who knows, but now you know>A) don't look down on it just because it's an air rifle>B) do some research and understand the hazards>C) don't trust the manufacturers too much
>>64753576well no shit, I don't need a paper to tell me the thing exploded when I saw it with my own eyes and went deaf and my ear is ringing months later and will be for rest of my fucking life because of the most simple goddamn mistake >>64753631The fireball didn't come from the muzzle, it came out of the compression chamber transfer portAt least if I remember right, but the fireball I saw definitely wasn't from the muzzle and was more from the middle of the gun The thing never even diseled shooting it normally, the dry fire was the first time I even saw smoke coming from it>why it didn't detonate when you were firing it normally, who knowsI'm guessing that with the air cushion the pellet creates it's enough to stop the oil from getting too crazy in the compression chamber or the piston just slamming into itself with the dry fire sparked it or some shit I just don't want to live with this fucking ringing for the rest of my life because of something so fucking stupidit's infuriating>do some research and understand the hazardsI literally did do thisI even found videos talking about artillery holding and how to properly mount the scope and everything, I did the whole fucking autistic deep dive because I am fucking autistic and I know the thing isn't just a souped up nerf gun, I've literally killed squirrels with it in one shotall I ever saw about dry firing was it potentially damaging the gun and to not do it, which is common sense with any kind of powerful spring anything, nothing mentioned it being able to blow up and deafen you randomlyComment too long.

Now, I understand the Type 81 family. I have owned a few. What was the reason behind this? Was it just an alternative to the type 81 that simply wasn’t adopted? Because (drunkenly, mind you) that’s how it comes off to me. Also chinkshilling is honestly not to be written off here. You got some engrish in there and it’s not fooling anybody silly gook :)
wish you could buy them in US
>>64753349Type 80 was never fully adopted for whatever reason, just niche roless and at some point the type 67 was abandoned without replacement.Now just recently they introduced a new 7.62 NATO GPMG so I suppose they're warmi g to the conceptChinese machine gun situation is crazy in general really, they have like 4 different .50 HMGs

>>64749291I agree, Germany should have nukes. And regularly verify their operational status in Waffentestgebiet Ost.

Tanks are not obsolete they just haven't been updated.Abrams introduced- 45 years agoThe first ironclad to the first dreadnought was about 45 years in comparison.Roughly 45 years between the wright brothers plane and the introduction of combat jet aircraft.>fights in an area of eastern europe over the course of 5 years that was covered sometimes in a day in ww2>tanks are obsolete
>>64752785You are really, really, really overestimating flying IED robustness. Most strikes require 2-3 drones for a kill and due to signal issues youre gonna have like 6 max in an area. You cant beat an enemy like the US that can field way more than a trickle with fpvs.

It's that time of year /K/ommandos! Were we reminisce the years that have past and look forward to the new one that is now unfolding! And that includes thinking up of goals for ourselves to achieve this year! You have been thinking of how to become a better /K/ommando right anon?Anyway, I haven't seen one of these threads in a few years, so lets get one going. How do you rank against your fellow /k/omrades?Bonus points if you can add stories about your achievements. Also maybe its time to update the board? Add a few more,
>>64745359Neat thread OP. I racked up some more points than I thought I would. One of my notable achievements is the "and my ankles too", a few years ago, my battalion was going into the field for some training, well we started with what was supposed to be a 14 mile pack. With my med bag on top of everything else on the packing list my gear was approaching 90lbs. Well they also messed up the route so it actually ended up being closer to 22 miles. We stepped off shortly after midnight and didn't get to our rally point until like 9AM. By the morning we had so many heat casualties, good times. Also, while I was TAD with some reserve artillery unit they let me run the gauntlet and shoot a M777, it was pretty fun.
>>64745359Going to file my paperwork for a can tomorrow, so I'll be able to check two more off then.

>>64751166I mean assuming I have some of the older versions in metal. I'm assuming vendors are going to start using the new model
>>64752606Just my take, but you want the most expensive to replace part to be the hardest. I'd go with the d2 SS
>>64752546It should be the opposite, I'd worry more about cook-offs on a locking bolt, OOB on a direct blowback is much more likely with an frt, esp with a free floating firing pin.

>>64752876It ain't surprising, the gun industry in general operates like fashion but for men.
>>64753328I don't entirely disagree.I'm not trying to suck off Holosun as much as I am trying to shame the legacy companies for not innovating anymore. Holosun is not a particularly high quality product, but then again red dots aren't sophisticated tech anymore, either.If the Chinks can come up with a relatively inexpensive NV/IR optic, even if it's just a shitty novelty, why can't AP or EO do something cool? Instead we get another $800 magnifier or vudu scope nobody will buy.
Obviously it will be far worse than a dedicated option, but this could suit some people. I'm sure alot of poorfags trying to get into night vision would buy it before eventually buying something better and more focused. Its fucking hilarious how we circle back around though. I remember the shitty 2000s guns and and all the ebay scopes with lasers and stuff attached to them like this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1b52tVlHc84Is that a fucking pistol real sight in the red dot cut out? Is PSA inventing a shotgun that can't be used as a shotgun because it has pistol sights for some reason? the receiver is objectively the worst place to mount a red dot on a shotgun. the best option would be if you could get it low profile on the barrel or as a qd on a side rail like an AK, though the barrel, especially if you can get the bottom of the red dot below the receiver would be great because then you could have a red dot mounted for HD or turkey or if you're in one of the like 3 states that still require slug guns for durr and then you can take off the barrel, the red dot remains zeroed and you can put on a different barrel for birds or clays I really don't understand this psa 570 thing. it looks like they just designed a gun to compete with turkshit and the mav 88 to be a ghetto blaster for blowing up trash on blm land
