>>64676166No, the Spirit sucks too.What we should do is revisit the Sheridan. Maybe make it shoot Hellfires or something. Maybe TOWs.
>>64676705>revisit the SheridanWhy? It's still a piece of shit, and changing its main armament won't change that.
>>64676705>>64676751We should revisit the Sheridan's gun, but the tank itself is better remaining at the bottom of the sea.

Hey whatever happened all the zombie killing guns and ammunition you know the stuff that was pretty cool back in the day
>>64662536>walking dead pretty much ran the culture dryI think that's only part of it. Most zombie stuff is low budget and thus unappreciated by plebs. A lot of the high budget stuff is bullshit like the RE movies or the RE show or the new RE movie. I kind of wish the RE show had gotten another season just to see how retarded they could get, same with Cowboy Bebop.
>>64672214Change your last words to "SOME-", and I'll join your group.
>>64675974It seems like zombie theme is right in the grey zone between >low budget movie usually picked up by cheap straight to steaming carrier, therefore flop Or >picked up by big name studio and had to make a simple concept into something way to preachy and complicated in order to win awards, otherwise they go bankrupt.
>>64676006Group?Get your own 7/11 shitbird.
>>64675940Yeah, it was obvious to anyone with a little gun knowledge that Brooks' understanding of firearms probably came from a few late-night web searches and conversations with boomer fudds. That being said, I still enjoy the book for nostalgic reasons, and for the fact that it talks highly of the M1 carbine.Really the only thing stopping it from being a top-tier zombie weapon is its obscure caliber, which is not easy to find IRL now, much less in a SHTF scenario.

>>64676453Isn't the compact a stupidly short barrel, like 3.25"? My p30sk had one of those, and it nerfed velocity enough that 115gr training loads would not get a bianchi plate to swing up high enough to lock back. I know this is not a barometer of anything useful, but it was surprising how much that .75" of barrel mattered for velocity.
>>64676369you'd better grow a curly-ass mullet and and get a black about-to-retire cop as a side kick while you fight international crime across the sprawling metropolis of los angeles.alternatively, have a receeding hairline and a gut as you throw g*rmans out of buildings in downtown los angeles. either one of these things is fine, but it will be exactly one of these things.

>>64676521I just moved to Florida and the only gun competitions near me are precision long range matches. I'm thinking of slapping a 3-18x or 5-25x optic on my scar 17 to start doing these matches with, and your pic makes me a little less scared of doing this.

Are modern U.S. shipyards still capable of producing ships on such a scale?
>>64673454Everyone leaves out that US shipbuilding production between 1939-1945 was ~40x the production between 1933-1939.
>>64671802>Are modern U.S. shipyards still capable of producing ships on such a scale?If the population is again recruited into it, but modern vessels don't rely on cheap steel hulls with basic weapons and maybe sonar, a single modern ship can wage war on half of that picture on its own. Scale lost its meaning after precision took over.
>>64672012Yeah they are large and complex. Not many yards are big and advanced enough to make on in the first place and they also take a while. If you will notice, most of the ships are small which far more yards (that would normally make something like a fishing boat) can handle.
>>64673454>In WW2, a good chunk of our GDP was just manufacturing war machines.Prior to WWII USA had large military industry btw.Military shipbuilding contributed to most if it.When war started it's car and railroad, and car radio factories that started to produce tanks, aircraft and VT fuses. It was sheer size if US manufacturing, before WWII US produced half of world industry production of everything. Half ICE engines power, half aluminum, 2/3 production of radios etc. Today it's China in US 1939 shoes.
>>64676743>*had NO large military industry
Post wheelgats. Just bought this 3rd change hand ejector dated to roughly 1912
>>64671805>>64672125Excuse me chuds, he declared himself competent with guns one handed now, so you can stop lying. Those are clearly all bullseyes.
>>64660578I've thought about making a space revolver. I hate the looks of most modern revolvers, but there are some set-ups that tickle my fancy. The R8 with a red dot and flashlight that runs flush with the muzzle looks quite nice. It wouldn't be too hard to get.
>>64672679No, only longer. We must secure the existence of revolvers and a future for wheelguns, and therefore cartridge should never be small enough to fit into a grip magazine.
>>64648104Asked in another thread, but does anyone know if changing an Enfield No2 Mk1 in DAO to DA/SA just takes a hammer swap? Not sure if there are any glaring issues with this. The markings are shallow, so I'm unsure if it's a Mk1* or Mk1**. The gun has no collector's value by the way (it's been bubba'd by importers) so I'm not too worried about devaluing it.
>>64676273Without being overly familiar with the internal workings of those guns, I would assume so. Not sure if it was originally a DA/SA that someone just bobbed the hammer spur off of, or if it was a true DAO hammer. what's the sear surface like on the hammer? is there a single action sear position? I'm thinking if so it should probably just need a replacement hammer that has a usable spur.
Would you join the military right now if you had nothing going on? I'm at a crossroads as I've been laid off now for 8 months.
>>64676419It was either the military or probably end up homeless, a loser or dead. Glad I got a second chance.
>>64674495>replying to the jewish pedoThat faggot has been shitting up the board for years. I hope the 'arty 'oxes him soon.
If I was fresh out of highschool yeah, the pay cut would be horrendous now even factoring in the benefits.I fucking hate my job and am trying to get into law enforcement instead.
>>64672652If my health issues weren't a barrier I'd jump at the chance just to get out of my parent's place and get a decent income again.
>>64672652You fucking retards your nations are under attack by pedophiles who want to hoard all the wealth and import minorities to do slave labor while they rape and butcher your family members with no repercussions. You want to be a billy badass soldier? Better start taking your country back. I swear you people on the blue boards are so fucking braindead. >"but the gibs and benefits"That’s why you’re retarded goyim only fit for dying for Israel because you only care about fake scraps to survive in a fake system. Literally joining the Government while they actively create a surveillance state you faggots can’t be for real. Blue boards are really disappointing.

>>64676532He's come a long way from beeeg five-seven mag.
>>64676470I'll say no, but if you put it in my hands, I can't tell what I'd do for the lulz.
>>64676470I don't think I'd be able to resist.
>>64676470It would be extremely painful
How effective were these things? Obsidian is said to be extremely sharp and multiple edges instead of one straight blade might be extremely painful.
>>64636184I'm so glad the spaniards fucked their cultures. Indios are lucky to still exist, the fucking savages. Every mestizo is guilty of genocide.
>>64673054That sucks.You'd think the natives would be able to fight off the Spanish. There were millions of the former and only a couple thousand of the latter.
>>64634465Effective for their situation? Absolutely.Effective against European armies? Nope.The only empire in the americas who stood a chance against europeans were the Incans but they were in the middle of a plague, civil war and probably busy fighting against the mapuche.
>>64662294what is this image supposed to convey
Probably very effective. Given their weight, they'd hit harder then say... an axe, would bind enemy weapons.The relative fragility of stone edges probably wasn't that big of an issue, there are a lot of stones on each edge, they had two edges. And I suspect you'd find that this also made it very hard to bind or parry them. You'd have some capacity to saw with them, relevant if you were half handing them or were grounded. The drawback would be the weight, you couldn't use them for fencing. But if your primary weapon was a spear of some kind that wouldn't be so much of an issue. Wooden weapons also don't bend, where metal weapons often can. Look at the Japanese clubs that were used to break other weapons. The matchakulti would simply break most metal swords.If your spear broke, you'd be fighting against a spear with your side sword. Having a side sword that could break your opponents spear was probably quiet important.
I used to intern with a Class II FFL precision rifle builder who also manufactured some NFA items and no joke, you can literally make a good quality (albeit rough finished) suppressor for under $100 provided you have a lathe. You can make even cheaper wipe suppressors for close to $50 out of pipe tubing you find on amazon. I remember watching this video by an American volunteer in the Ukrainian International Legion who talk about a company in the Czech Republic that sold suppressors for the Bren 2 that cost $125 so clearly it doesn't cost that much to make them yet I'm having a hard time finding anyone selling even shitty .22lr whip suppressors for under $500. Certainly with the NFA tax going away you'd think there'd be a market for cheap suppressors in the US right?
yeah
Let's say the US military decided to adopt a bullpup rifle. Do you think they could improve it to a point that it could surpass the AR15 platform? I get the impression that it's just a few innovations away from achieving that status. If they could make the triggers match the AR platform it would be difficult argue that it isn't superior.>inb4 slow reloads, etc.
>>64675342If you have ever actually paid attention to US army requirements they keep asking for full-range 5.56mm ballistics but the need to keep the barrel short for CQB. The current solution is simply to stock both the full 20" M16A-whatever they're on now and the M4s at 14".
>>64675350>US army requirements... asking for full-range 5.56mm ballisticsMay we see them?
Let's be honest. Magazine in buttstock is fucking gay. The proper way is either to the side or in the grip.
>>64663020>we'd see them in use in at the very least 1 or 2 US special forces units."Specia Forces" have specific mission sets that regular forces do not (hence the term "special") and they are usually equipped to accomplish those special tasks. Bullpubs not being adopted by US SF means that what missions they do run would not be served by a bullpup, but that does not mean the regular forces mission parameters are the same. There are reasons the Israeli regular forces adopted bullpups.
>>64673762>Country like Ukraine and US have no reasonEverybody needs to clear buildings now and then.
Which caliber is better? Does the shorter length of the .308 while being mostly the same ballisticly make it better, or does the slightly longer length and ability to use heavier grain bullets of the 30-06 make it better?Or is 30-06 better because it sounds cooler and is an American classic?
>>64676058Here's your (You). Thanks for the thorough and non egotistical answer. Guess I've got some apologizing to do to the elk and moose I've been killing with lowly ol .308. .30-06 is a great round. It really is. Heavier rounds have their place. But at the same time, like others have said, Euros have been knocking down polar bears and moose with 6.5x55 Swede for over 100 years. According to you, that's inconceiveable. Where does this sliding scale stop? What's next, we need a minimum of .30-378WBY to drop something ethically?
>>64676460>elk and moose I've been killing with .308Unless you're off-season poaching, that claim is laughably bullshit.Spreading around Euro bullshittery doesn't help your claim, asshat.Nobody hunts 800-1000lbs dangerous game with what you're desperately trying to claim, junior. Nobody. And now that you've demonstrated that you're a complete liar, you're boring me. Byeee.
>>64676589yeah i can blast 10 holes in an elk with a 556 to kill it or 1 with 30-06
>>64676696elk, moose, or any larger game i should say
mogged
>>64676203Like Townsend could have made up whatever personal stories he could about Chinese being dishonest, cheating him that he claimed to witness himself.But he decided to play historian (with no qualifications in history, he couldn't even read Chinese) and started making up alternate reality level events about Chinese history.Even about historical events only a few decades before he wrote his book.Townsend claimed Chinese took over other peoples lands like Mongols by financial means, and were too scared to engage in violence (which is why he made up the story about Malay pirates forcing millions of Chinese to flee the coast, which never happened)Chinese civilians literally butchered over 100,000 Mongols with their hands and swords in the Jindandao incident just decades earlier.they didn't use "usury or money" to take the Mongols lands, they butchered them with violence, contrary to Townsend claiming them to be cowards who never used violence.
