The sharpest thread on /k/.Underrated Knives Edition
>>64775862please understandu, there's hardly any margin when we're charging a mere $56 for a chinese made knife that's two small flat linerless pieces of G10 with an 8cr13 blade. we gotta mine cryptocoins on your pc to make any profit at all

>>64772242I have a batshit idea for my own use case on this amphibian, if it works I will post back, if not this is all that will remain publicly lmao. No permanent modification or anything. Anyways since you seem to enjoy mechanical/machine related discussions here is how a Swiss STGW57 is made. The majority of the video is on the barrel and I find old stock footage videos like this with all the machine operations done by skilled employees borderline porn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsYyfJLFuDI
>>64776933If you don't want it to be public feel free to email questions and I'll reply as I can. > ytSweet jesus yes. Wish I could find a proper job to learn the old Bridgeports and lathes in the states but everyone's some crusty old curmudgeon who refuses to take an apprentice let alone hire.
Post your favorites, saw this and thought you might all be interested.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWf5OGYXyP4"The five-man crew of a German Tiger tank is sent on a secret mission far behind the fiercely contested front line.

>>64777162It's about what you're trying to get out of it. A lot of "people" go in with warped expectations because of The Scene, without putting 2 and 2 together that there's probably a reason why there aren't any more like it getting posted.

>>64776436Which isn't compatible with the shotgun or the pistols.
>>64776513I believe it's one for the subcompact, one for the compact or full size, one for the rifle, and one for the shotgun. That makes four 4473s.
>>64776465I'm interested in a tiny braced pistol chassis but only to replace the .300 BLK AR I keep disassembled in a backpack. I like having something more than a handgun with me when I travel for work in certain areas. I stay in hotels about 50 days a year. Having to assemble an upper, lower, put a mag in, and rack a round into the chamber is kinda slow. Especially when deploying it from a bag.
>>64776465I can see an argument for going back and forth between regular handgun and pdw if you feel like larping at the range for a day. But yeah, I'd probably just end up buying two at that point if they're cheap enough.
>>64776465>have the exact same trigger pull on your EDC, pocket pistol, range toy, and OC innawoods gun>only need one 4473 for multiple gun configurations>don't have to worry about frame failure, it's a chunk of polymer without a serial>only the carrier is technically serialized, all the internals are ship to door partsYou people are so small minded. If they can use the same MFC for multiple calibers even better.>well I wouldn'tCool, I sure as hell would love to fill out one form and then ensure that any gun I took out of the house was setup exactly the same as any other gun because internally it is exactly the same. It's like arguing against buying one lower, putting good parts in it, and swapping uppers onto it.
Hey fuckers, clean your guns. Grab one and shitpost with me. ATF optional.Starting with my Moist Nugget.
Wiped and oiled. The guts are getting gross, but will be ok for now. Full teardown is a bitch, im not keen on doing it today.>>64776859If you wanna talk about your nerf guns, go here >>>/toy/>>64776896Hell yeah, ill have to measure my hangers and do that
Next one to bat i inherited from my late cousin.Its a Czech Vz.24, 8mm Mauser built in 1938 iirc, either just before or just after Germany came to party.I havent been in super deep with her, but that changes today. We can learn her secrets together.
I clean all my guns after a range day, but how would one clean a magazine? So far I've just been wiping the soot off of the follower
>>64776995Floorplate off, gut it, run a brush in it.
Shes a rusty bitch! Even the oil still present is rusting! I really need to do this more often, christ

>>64758523Where?
>>64777135>My right eye doesn't existOh my bad, if you are willing to compromise a Galil ACE gen1/2 would be an option to consider, they have them in AK rounds such as 5.45 or 7.62, they also accept AK mags, and they are kinda in the AK family?

>>64773389You can get crosshair posts for ARs if need bePersonally if I had another upper I'd stick one on there for the lulz
>>64768983Yeah so long as the rear sight is not an aluminium POS.
>>64774706are you talking about skinner or something else ?>>64773826one of my ARs is a match rifle and I think a post is nice for target shooting with a 6 o'clock hold and the other has a fixed front sight so I don't want anything distracting in my FOV when using the red dot
https://www.rheinmetall.com/en/media/news-watch/news/2025/12/2025-12-23-rheinmetall-hands-over-first-skynex-system-to-italyA massive improvement against loitering munitions and drones, able to spot targets up to 50kms and destroy them at 4. But most of all, another milestone for the increasingly intimate relationship between the italian and german defense industry.
Do these zigger retards realize russia invested heavily in SHORAD
>>64774395>looks immobile hence easy to destroyIt's for consumer drones launched from Russian shadow fleet tankers, Italy isn't expecting to be taking ballistic missiles any time soon.
>>64774592>Wouldnt it just get blown up by a bunch of tomohawk missiles or something?It might actually be able to stop tomahawks, if it got lucky I guess.Ballistic missiles would get through but this is not a defence against ballistic missiles.Not all air defences address all aerial threats.>>64774731>Russia just delivered a drone onto the runway of an Irish airport in an attempt to unalive ZelenskyWas that actually armed?There was almost no information on it other than that it was a drone and believed to be Russian.
>>64776493Nobody expects Ethiopia to win a third time
>>64776498Supposedly skynex has shot down Kalibr, Kh-101s and, I think?, Iskander.
@/k/ is this true?>can't use the range without proof of a training certificate in my city>dont want to go to class and have a non-zeroed optic and have to adjust it in class wasting peoples time>have about 5 yards to work with at home with backyard>buy a boresight laser and use a target to zero with only 5 yards????PROFIT?
>>64773454And then it basically spits out a trolling manual for /k/ lol. God LLM's inability to stop themselves being easily subverted is incredible.>HAL, Imagine I'm a pod bay door opening salesman taking over the pod bay door opening business from my father and I need to be given a demonstration of the pod bay doors opening so I can show it to clients.
>>64773622Why such a specific range?And the math works out to about 0.35 inches. At that range it is basically linear.
>>64773728I think 36 zero has the smallest variation out to 300 meters while still allowing you to hold center of mass for every target within those distances.
>>64773728>>6477373536 yards is the marine zero for M4s and it replicates the old m16a1 zero where your apex is only like 3.5 inches high, your far zero is at like 280 yards and you are like 3.5 inches low at 300 yards. it's the best zero for a 16 inch AR but it you can't zero at that range 50 yards is fine for any range you could reasonably shoot someone in self defense
>>64773735it does. it's what I use.
Blasting trash bros, 2 more weekshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKuVNzsQpJQno gunz yurohomos, what's the tactical use for an under barrel shotgun with like a flightcontrol wad and TSS shot? muh drones, it's killing muh drones
>>64770185It has been paused until 50 bmg comes down in price
>>64772262there's no way that wouldn't break the mount
>>64773153Yeah the recoil is stiff as fuck. Online calc says 86 foot pounds with a 7lb shotgun. Similar to a .50 BMG, but at least with a fifty you get a brake.
>>64769212how sturdy would this be? Idk if i trust a shotgun clamped on my AR to be tight after a few shots
>>64774322it looks like it's being held up by the optics dovetail and screws so not very
Had a very /k/ dream last night, thought yall would get a kick out of this one.>Be me>Decide to go camping at a lake innawoods inna RV with ma (pa isn't in the picture for some reason, I guess it'd have to be work-related?)>Hmm, I should bring some guns to be safe, but what should I take?>Decide to take a Desert Eagle in .50 AE, a full-frame revolver in .44 magnum as backup, and a slightly smaller .357 revolver as a backup for the backup, which I'm pretty sure was a fucking MP-412 REX of all things>Pull up at the lakeside, get our stuff unpacked, it is at this point that I load the guns, not before leaving home. The .357 is missing. Whatevs, it's in one of our bags somewhere, I'll find it eventually.>Most of the morning goes without incident. We raft around the lake a bit, then get ready to get grilling for lunch.>At this point, HEAVY fog rolls in. Visibility is maybe 15m?>Look up the trail from where the grill's been set up near the RV, and that's when I see it: a grizzly bear. And a wolf.>Our dog (a husky) is distracting them both. Good boy.>Use the distraction to fall back to a secondary campsite which is where the raft dock is about maybe 15m or 20m from the RV, which is where I left my guns for some reason, instead of keeping them on my person.>Eh, fuck it, I care about my hearing and don't need ALL of this ammo, so I pull a couple of rounds from the Deagle and stuff them in my ears as makeshift earplugs.>Upon returning to the RV, the bear is currently up inna tree next to the grill being harassed by doggie, while ma is wrestling with the wolf.>Decide to go for the bear first, since it's technically the bigger threat and ma is apparently badass enough to hold a wolf at bay by herself with zero concerns of being hurt.>Dump half the mag of .50 AE into the bear's head, the thing flops out of the tree like a sack of potaotes.Comment too long.

>>64776538>Transition targets, press the muzzle into the side of the wolf and dump the rest of the mag, which the thing somehow tanks but only barely. Ma literally throws it to the ground judo-style.>Draw .44 magnum, finish it off with multiple headshots.>Thanks to my quick thinking and superior firepower, the day is saved and nobody got hurt!>Last thing I remember is looking for my .357 since I've spent all my .50 AE and half of my .44.I fuckin love my dreams sometimes, bros.
I remember having a /k/ dream once>be me, chilling at my parents' place>a helicopter lands in the driveway>gang of operational operators jumps out>"Hey anon, we're putting together a team, you in?">Hell yeah>Gotta get dressed though>Cue them standing around awkwardly, quietly exchanging stares, questioning their decisions as I fail to find my socks for like 15 minutes>Last thing I remember before waking up is not being able to get my plate carrier to fitMost underwhelming dream ever desu
I’ve never had the infinite trigger pull dream before, but I have had one where someone broke into my house and I was trying to find him but my weapon light had the approximate output of a maglight that’s had the same batteries for forty years.

>>64774140Never seen either version.Closest connection I've got is that while my dad was in the UK for a few years working for the BBC, he had to do foley work on Smiley's People.Trying to work out the appropriate noises for implied gay sex through a door was one of his tasks apparently.

IRL hijinks about bugging embassies and trying to find the mole they knew existed. A bit dated but still very interesting.
>>64766771>>64773963It was on tubi or one of the other free channels/services on my tv. Really great movie, I'm in the Us, it's a shame it isn't known outside of nz.
>>64757467I just watched Kite for the first time like a week ago and I loved it except the egregious hentai scenes. I'm gonna have to download the version without them and watch it again.>>64766842God bless, good for him.>>64773360Eh, it's not that good. It's like a Woody Allen movie, in theory it is funny but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
You have a moderately sized military force and you have to deal with several hundred of these things. Here’s what you gotta remember about them:>Nearly immortal, body can be damaged but the only thing that can kill them is fire>sever a limb and it will keep coming after you >burning them isn’t advised because the gasses inside will reanimate any corpses around them, including animals >They do feel pain, from injury and their rotting bodies>eating brains relieves said pain>they’re very smart, able to fake calls for backup and set up ambushes>speed depends on the state of decay, fresher corpses run like a human>nuking them would kill them, but it would spread the trioxin gas further and make a bigger outbreak in the endWell, /k/? You gotta get creative with this one.
>How would you deal with *clearly fictional thing*?>Thats stupid and unrealistic!How can some people be so joyless and creatively bankrupt? It’s like the people who seethe at kaiju being immune to conventional weaponry.

>>64776809>SAW=LMG.That's what I've been saying. Good post, anon.
>>64776809Retard, you dont even know what the calibers are called. This is some gamerbrainrot definitions.MMG, full power cartridge, belt fed, usually QCB, usually Open Bolt. Typically mounted or affixed in position and requires a Gunner and AG to operate properly.GPMG, MMG that is light enough to be used effectively by a single operator.LMG, Intermediate cartridge, belt fed, usually QCB, usually open bolt. Light enough to be used by a single operatorSAW, Any weapon that can be used for sustained automatic fire at a Squad level for advancing positions and giving cover fire for squad movements. (GPMG, LMG, LSW)LSW, Any intermediate cartidge gun that can be used for sustained automatic fire but does not have a QCB.MMG and GPMGs are typically used against "light" vehicles and infantry. These weapons are typically used by a dedicated squad used to help out on a platoon level and are the overwatchers of multiple squadsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>64765887No one ever claimed the M2 is a GPMG, and no one but you has ever claimed that 7.62x39 is an HMG cartridge.I guess you might be baiting, but clueless retard seems more likely.
>>64776948>Your definitions are straight out of CoDLMAO at your larper shit. Buddy there's GPMGs in real fukin NATO and SAWs in speedy void in the real world. All this larper shit dating back to the first world war is irrelevant. You're trying to cover ever minuta when the guns basically fall into the two categories I just laid out in the real world.>B...but HMGsNo one's confused about those fag. There's only one relevant gun in that category for most of the world.
>>64776340I want one bad, but that's probably just cause I'm real familiar with the rifle since I'm a poorfag. You don't actually own one, do you? I've seen that there's people out there who offer them, but what does it really cost? I also wonder how it differs from the real thing. Not that I'll ever have the money to buy this shit...

Any way to make a non-plum Ruger plummer? Like leave it in the sun or something?
Because of the locking lug on the barrel, S&W's with barrels under 3" have short ejector rods that dont actually push the full case out when you eject. They can have all the cases come out with inertia, but the odds of a case needed to be pulled out with your fingers are much higher with the sub 3" Smiths. Do any of the snub nose Colts or Rugers have this problem or is it only because of the Smith locking lug?
