>>64691510I was a pre-teen when it was airing (yes I'm a zoomzoom), but I recently watched the Avatar movies and they just seem.. boring?I don't know how to explain it. It looks all flashy and effects, without any substance.
>>64698701I wouldn't even call it "style over substance" because of the incredibly dull and generic sci-fi vibe. I don't think the cinematography is very interesting either. It's more like VFX over anything else. Which is perfectly fine, but I don't understand why it's spammed so aggressively. I don't see Transformers or whatever being shilled like this is.

>>64698813Is the entire Ching Chong Carrier DC, does it use a separate DC generator and distribution circuit for the catapults, or does it utilize a rectifier to convert AC to DC?

I want to get a musket. Ideally I’d like an authentic one used in the Civil War, but most of the ones I’ve found are either too expensive, or in pretty rough shape.Should I get a real one or buy a reproduction? What do you guys think?
>>64692656>Ideally I’d like an authentic one used in the Civil War,The civil war was 160 years ago. Pf course you're going to pay a lot for something that old and rare.Ironically civil war swords are not that rare.If you want to shoot a musket, buy one.If you want an antique, buy one.
>>64698708Not the same anon.Blackpowder burn-rate is entirely different to smokeless, midwit.Blackpowder shoves, smokeless kicks. Even if your premise that the energy is the same (it RARELY is), the gas expansion physics behind the projectile is entirely different.Sit the fuck down and shut your disgusting pie-hole.
>>64698842>Blackpowder burn-rate is entirely different to smokelessComplete bullshit.
>>64698708>>64698948Are you baiting? Even smokeless powder has a wide range of burn rates, put a faster burning powder in a load made for slower stuff and youll at best make a nuclear pissin hot load and more likely youll blow up your gun.
>>64692656If youre new to muzzle loading, start with a modern one to learn the ropes.Id go for a repro myself, easier to clean. You can get an og, but it will need extra care to stay in top condition.You can run true bp, or a good synthetic. Pyrodex is one, but i like the alliant black mz better. Smokier, easier to clean. Pyrodex has the stank though.>>64694483>>64694515A good many got converted into the trap door, when metallic cartridges got adopted. This paved the way for the 1873s.Supposedly Custer had the earlier types at little big horn, using copper carts instead of brass. This lead to extraction issues and ultimately his demise.>>64694487Nothing wrong with antiques if theyre in good shape, and you use the right powder in the correct amounts. BP runs and much lower pressures compared to smokeless.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
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.
>>64697632Not that this will apply to you; this is a sample of one person putting far more rounds through one handgun than you probably will ever put through all of those backup guns combined (not being a dick, this guy just shoots way more than any of us) but I was just watching this video with a guy from team Beretta, formerly with team Vortex and he mentioned that he got used to shooting even with no dot out to 50yd because of being lazy about changing batteries and the dots breaking lol. I think he said something along the line of "you know, because Vortex" or something like that. On a backup gun with low round count, though, I think it'd be fine. And FWIW, I'm sure that was years ago, not to mention I use their monocular and have not been kind to it. No issues there but nothing to keep zero and no electronics to fail. Not my first choice but I very much feel not wanting to spend a ton on a red dot.youtube.com/watch?v=jhXtphlFTb0
>>64697632Wait I’m out of the loop, Romeo 5’s are bad now?
>>64688478How is it still an AR if it doesn't have a buffer tube and what does removing the buffer tube do other than allow for folding stocks?
>>64697763https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/the-atfs-definition-of-an-ar-15-lower-as-a-firearm-is-in-serious-trouble/Federal statute defines a receiver or frame as the part of the firearm that holds the bolt, breech, and firing mechanism and is usually threaded at the front to receive a barrel. ATF cut a deal because under the statute basically every firearm that has an upper and lower receiver and nearly every autoloading pistol could be sold as it's constituent parts without being subject to regulation.

>>64699137Oh God yeah that was funny and sad watching how they hyped it up. I will say they at least did good by buying those Anti liberal TV ads during the NHL playoffs, more shit like that can surprisingly go a long way. In my opinion, however more grassroots stuff like promoting getting your pal would do much more.
>>64699141I liked how they followed the standard shorts format to hype it up too, with the spooky music and military radio chatter. So fucking gay.
>>64699153Yeah that was literally the most cringe thing ever
Here’s an idea to help promote firearm courses and increase our numbers. What if the CCFR teamed up with some of its business members. Say the member offers discounted firearm safety classes the CCFR would help pay to advertise the date of class to help increase PAL holders.

I'm a brainlet when it comes to acoustics, but are there reasons other than price/difficulty as to why a monolithic suppressor made of sintered titanium or stainless steel wouldn't work ? Think of acoustic foam with insane weight to structural strength.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq2AM9x80nA&t=63s

>>64698934the entire exhaust system fell off my 92 Camry right at the engine once. it turned heads as I drove it to the mechanic. I'm not sure I'd want that as a lifestyle
>>64697430That would be a lot louder than current suppressors. Suppressors don't absorb sound, they slow the release of the expanding hot gasses into the surrounding area. You don't do this with a bunch of open micro-pores, you do it with chambers that the gasses expand into, progressively slowing as they reach the exit. Small pores would reduce effectiveness because gasses would reach the exit before fully expanding. You want the chambers to fill quickly and the gasses to exit the suppressor itself slowly.

What can we expect from 2026?
Moar Kino
>>64698955>What can we expect from 2026?Every single suppressor being out of stock for the next year, more israeli proxy wars, a few more P320 UDs, further depletion and price increases in the milsurp market, HK discontinuing the USP and Mark 23, a SCAR successor that is even more overpriced and ugly, and more glock clones and gay handgun accessories on the market.
>>64699085>Every single suppressor being out of stock for the next yearDon't you still have to do the paperwork?
>>64699086Yes, but expensive suppressors are already frequently out of stock, and for cheap ones where the tax stamp is a third of the price or more, the demand will increase further.
Merry Christmas you beautiful anons!If you haven't received your package, please submit an email to me and we will start tallying the late arrivals, and then sorting between folks who are likely to get theirs in the next few days vs those who the dreaded USPS has lost forever.

what 10/22 should i get? i like the wood carbine with iron sights but the slick one with receiver rail looks cool too. will i miss not having iron sights? is there any accuracy advantage to stainless barrel?
So my job gave me a free trek-22 chassis when we were cleaning up the workshop. I figure I'll turn this into a project gun to make an ultralight 10/22 since this chassis weighs so little and I like the idea of a .22lr bullpup. Anyone have one and can recommend a receiver that fits it? Would rather not buy yet another whole 10/22 and build this from just parts.
why is page 9 red? do we only have 9 pages instead of 11?
>>64695852>ultralight 10/22 since this chassis weighs so littleWhatever "lightest" rcvr there is. Can rec the Soltac SBX bbl as super light.
>>64695852I think Volquartsen rarely has receivers sometimes. Like $40?
>>64672235I recommend getting a speed loader. Also it is pocky about ammo. Don't use 22lr ammo that is not crimped/spins otherwise it will cause mag issues. Mine loved hotter ammo1200+. Also frt never.

>>64698584Slobo would never make it to the top if he didn't pursue the pro-serb policy. The Serbian people were simply not satisfied with the situation and going down the route of confederation would mean that Serbs would be a minority in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. At the same time no Republic is going to go and re-draw their borders and give Serbs what they want just because.Its a bit of a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of deal.

>>64698906He almost didn't make it to the top. IIRC the deputy secretary of the CPSFR figured out he was bad juju, but missed his timing in shutting his ass down, and Slobo managed to replace the leaders of the Vojvodina and Kosovo party branches (nominally autonomous, but appointed by the CPSFR) before the move to oust him (meaning his seat was now secure).
