Do wooden logs work as armor or is it cope?
>>64679731Is spalling even a thing anymore? I mean with chobham like armor.
>>64678039This sort of stuff doesn't work on FPV drones since they have different fuze designs.
>>64675531It's going to work for the odd drone because of how ineffective they are individually, but for anything else, such as a shaped charge, all it could possibly do is set it off slightly earlier and make it better at penetration

Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
>>64676439look at Japan in World War 2or Austria in World War 1or Britain in World War 2 (the tank corps used 8mm mauser because of their czech BESA machineguns)
>>64680093Just shoot it.Unless the brass is so corroded it won't chamber, and even then you can sandpaper it smooth.Obviously dont rely on it for defence or hunting, but its still usable for plinking.Worst case is the damp got into the powder or primer and youll get duds, but theyre still good for training to practice hangfire drill (wait a minute holding downrange then rerack).If theyll totally shit, just pull the projos with pliers and burn the powder in a fire. Throw the brass in too to cook the primers.>Throwing intact ammo into a fire is amusing but doctrinally has a 100mm safety radius, practically its more like 10m as it pops out at unconfined pressures.
Forgot about this thread.For ACR barrels, is Templar Precision the only way to go for pretty much any barrel? I want one for .300blk and of course OEM seems to be non existent. Judging by the date on TP's website, the barrels have been on pre-order for over a year at this point
Need a set of 40 shitty and weak dies and the best deal I'm seeing is 84 dollars for a set combined with a Lee challenger breech lock press. Would I be retarded to have 3 single stage presses lined up to do reloading work (I own two partner presses already).
>>64681886Nigga its 1 ounce. This is not a very large weight savings.
What's the deal with the ISV? Does it make any sense? Is it retarded?
>>64681574>Military equipment is built to a standard.FTFY.That sometimes it happens to be better than the common equivalent is more of a happy circumstance than by actual design.

does ANYONE on this board have experience any .32 seecamps made in the last two years?
>>64680305I don't know what serial numbers correlate to what year but I have a 380 made in their current plant and it's reliable. I don't shoot it much as flat nose/jhp 380 can be expensive (32 more so) and it's also probably my least comfortable gun to shoot. I would strongly recommend you get a p238, as it isn't much bigger and my p938 is less painful to shoot than my seecamp.
sigh>>64681840Why not? There's nothing wrong with helping people out. Even if you're jaded. >>64682115The problem is that they both look so much worse compared to seecamp.
>>64681593>the brownie incidentquickrundown?
>>64681745BS. my cw380 and holster fits in the pocket fine.
>>64681840I wear levi 505s and levi workwears, neither of which are skinny jeans, and there's no way I could fit anything bigger than a seecamp or p32 in the front pockets. the rear pockets are out of the question because sitting on a lump of metal is far too uncomfortable.
Last one dead. These threads need to be more common.Between a Mossberg 590 and a Remington 870, which should I keep? Recently was given an 870 and I don't really care to have two shotguns.
>>64682355That is obviously a different gun than what anon posted in >>64682223
>>64682404yeah it is a muzzleloader. dunno what that guy is thinking. but no i think its from recoil, people give me lots of old pieces of shit all the time, the cracks are in the same spot as my tobin side plate, and also my yugo shotgun that cracked from recoil. although that one's a box lock but same difference rite
also needs a key/wedge as the one in it is a piece of wood but i have a worn out file that ill grind down to fit
>>64682427>yeah it is a muzzleloader.See if you can borrow an inspection camera you can stick down the barrels and look for pitting near the breech end. If it looks like it's potentially safe then set up the gun to be fired remotely with an extra-stout charge before you trust shooting it from your shoulder
>>64682436that sounds like a plan. worst case scenario i may make a single shot fowling piece from the right-hand lock and hardware.
Was the Yugoslav military the 4th strongest military in the 80s-90s before it fell apart?
>>64682009no there isn't. maybe some lost stocks or if some people in Cro or bosnia still have some rifles at home (and have not smuggled them yet), but there are no official hidden stocks.
>>64678450yes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xMDPH_xNio
Not to sound like an ass, but they looked like typical commie cannon fodder
Of course, they were using SKS’s
>>64682406Called papovka. They're still used as ceremonial arms by the honor guard here.May dad used it as a service rifle but he was in a signals unit. Won a shooting competition with it, got a day pass, got drunk and climbed a fence back into the barracks 'to not get in trouble'. He's a humble man so he claims the only reason he won was because he had a well maintained rifle while some of his comrades already had fucked up barrels.He was handed an AK after independence but didn't know how to use it properly. When ordered to fire 'single shots' he went fully automatic, got yelled and told to fire 'single shot' again. Fired a burst again, got yelled at again and had to explain he never used the weapon before. Ended up guarding bosnian refugees at the border for a while.He tells the story everytime he's drunk.
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?
>>64676719Literally only NFA paperwork makes them rare and therefore pointless to be cheap.Without the NFA they're cans with baffles that need not have much service life and a cheap stamped metal or 3d print with tape reinforcement becomes viable.
>>64678710>Californiayes anon, that question was stupid as fuck
>>64679540Because the rim on the bellend is one of the spots with the highest density of nerve endings, so hitting it multiple times on the same stroke like >>64681097 generates more stimulation than a single "baffle".
>>64676719I would honestly rather have the $200 tax and no fingerprints/paperwork/restrictions.
>>64676719Okay but how do I legally make my own shotgun suppressor?

Did I adjust this M1 gas port correctly?I installed an adjustable gas port for my dad this Christmas.I put it on the lowest setting.Then started adding pressure until the gun would cycle on its' own.Doesn't feel any different that before.
>>64682286And the problem is?
>>64682302>xanaxWhat the hell is that?
>>64682329narcotics
>>64682286If you are firing M2 or an equivalent from it, it should not feel any different from a stock Garand.The adjustable gas port is for when you are trying to run stuff that is outside of the parameters of common USGI .30 ammo
>>64682329It makes you feel really fucking good, stay away from it.

>>64673794You can make an adjustable diode that can have multiple lasers coming out, like a shotgun, and have its range be easily adjustable if not just done automatically so all the beams just slightly cross over one another on the target producing maximum damage.

Could the MiG-25 realistically have shot down a SR-71?
>>64665241Why did Denny's do this?
>>64664387>>64672799The Blackbirds frequently flew over Kursk subpens. You can read first hand accounts of the pilots in Skunkworks by Ben Rich
>>64664154>mathsfuck off you commonwealth fuck
>>64674415>What do we think the REAL maximum speed of the SR-71 was?More than M2.8-3.2 for certain. Mig-25s eating their turbines alive were dragging their wingtips into the cone. Look at the planiform of the SR-71 and draw a cone from the nose to wingtip and tell me what the angle is. That's efficient supersonic cruise for the SR-71 and not slamming into its own shockwave.

No politics, no industrial feasibility or cancellation talk allowed.What is the logical military use case for a huge expensive "battleship" with 3x more displacement than a Ticonderoga and only a few more VLS cells? What advantage could it hold over Flight III Burkes, DDG(X), VPM SSNs, or an SSGN Columbia variant?>1. The core use case would be a large fast cruiser able to escort carriers at prolonged high speeds around the Pacific, in situations where conventional escorts and their oilers couldn't keep up, or would slow the carrier down with UNREP making for risky ASBM attack windows.This is reliant on it being nuclear powered, which isn't confirmed and makes it more expensive and industrially intensive. Perhaps the Navy has done the math and found that cruising around at an unbroken 35 knots is useful to increase the PLA's sea search volume or complicate ASBM kill chains. But it doesn't have that many VLS cells so it must rely on novel weapons as an escort to avoid magazine depletion. >continued
>>64680443>KapustaIsn't that the awesome Command vessel that never got used and had to be scrapped because the USSR built it for the Pacific Fleet and didn't check to see if they had a place to dock it first?
>>64682107Yes, that one. And it's dubious how much use it would have been even if they could afford to actually deploy it because there wasn't much to look at in space at the time and they couldn't have done much about anything they saw. But a modern giga-radar command ship with a 325m^2 AESA would be able to see incoming LRO planes and missiles at extreme ranges and conduct electronic attacks against them.
>>64682135It also probably would give everyone on it brain cancer.
>>64682141We can just ask the guy standing in front of the land-based one if he's feeling okay.
>>64681651it hardly has any more vls than a burke but has guns and nukes for land attack.it's a battleship and can't replace any ticos. ticos are getting replaced by burkes.
