So having some casual metal working experience in forming aluminum sign parts, and not much to do being a Comp NEET, I bought some tools. This big dome and channel set for $60, one ton arbor press, small bending brake, nice tap and die set, air brush... etc accessories.So what weapons related things have I unlocked on my personal tech tree? It's prime purpose is sheet metal yard stuff; tables and trellises and gay butterflies and shit welded to a rod. Definitely brackets (I motherfucking L-O-V-E brackets).Idk can I bend receiver flats? Forge cannons? What?Also- tools & workshop thread.
>>65500106I have as yet to pull the trigger on the tools but as you can see, I *half* know how to think about it. Thankfully some people on these boards actually touch objects that modify and maintain shit lol./k/ is almost dependent on tools and shop processes and shit and it's amazing this is even a first tool thread. It seems worthwhile to try a general.>>65500173it's a build revolution in terms of the gun market and people WILL want to do nice stampings for S/N and shit, so it's good to bring that up.For shits and giggles here is a vacuum box for lexan like the one I use (badly). Idk if it'd do kydex but maybe. That's one way to a holster for yourself.
Also I want to add that I feel like "hobby" and Dremel shit is poorfag bait. I've had nothing but a bad day with that shit while conversely I have had very little complaints about cheap harbor freight shit. I fucking HATE china though so I hate buying their shit, if I can help it I try to buy US but you all know how that is.
>>65500629Hope this handy chart can help. Wiha is German/Pollack but fucking nice screwdrivers. The few PB Swiss tools I have could probably withstand a nuke but I hate the grips on all of them with their X/3 sided stuff so I can't even get out the belt sander and turn them down without fucking up the 120 degree angles and stuff. That being said they're still amazing. FWIW I love my dremel for small things, 80% of the time it has a felt polishing wheel on it but even the synthetic steel wool polishing bits are really nice. Great for polishing up the locking faces on knives or using the felt wheel on an old pistol slide like a beretta where it tapers inwards at the muzzle and you wanna clean off as much of the pitting without actual abrasives or doing it by hand in a way where it wouldn't be consistent. A dremel to me is for 'touching up'. If it needs serious sanding, doing it by hand or a belt sander come first. If it needs serious cutting, a hacksaw or bandsaw or table saw [hate jigsaws desu]. And so forth. But keeping one at my place when I'm doing any sort of gun or knife work is so much easier to pull it out instead of setting up a 40lb machine for a single thing.
>>65501189hell yes and thanksI've got a ton of Dremel stuff, I'm just frustrated with how "finishing not doing" it really is, and how fast the consumables get chewed up. Or I'm constantly asking too much of it- totally could be a me thing.
>>65500616There have been DIY threads in the past that have been shut down By mods.Another trick, if you can use heat to twist either a piece of keystock or a cut off piece of hex wrench to give it a say 1 in 8” twist and basically make a cheap improvised rifling button by doing so. I did this and while the results were not great, it did carve some lands into a piece of seamless steel tubing I had. Using that in conjunction with one of those presses could work, I just used a hammer and vise along with a rod to push it through.
A fully armored highly trained crusader with a sword or a fully armored highly trained varagian guard with an axe? (consider the material of their historically acurate gear and culture if possible)
A knight wouldn't have a sword. He would have a fucking axe or a gnarly mace
Explain to me again why the m&p didnt get into the military pistol trials despite being as good if not better than the glock 19x, beretta m9a4(which they didnt submit, instead retardedly going for the apx) and p320
Might have been deemed too busy with police contracts, that sort of thing gets taken into account in vendor selection. Or if you wanna get conspiratorial, might have been too competitive and been hard to convincingly select the Sig entry; since the hateful antisemitic theory that Sig was the chosen sole-source for all future small arms acquisitions has been floating around for years.
>>65501604It's literally all quid pro quo and whatever the old boomer generals like. Same goes for police contracts. Agencies end up with Sig because some old boomer responsible for the decision likes Sig, or Glock, or 1911s so they shell out for Stacattos. That's just how it goes. Obviously M&P is the practical choice as it doesn't jam, but there's a lot more bullshit considerations before it can be a real contender.
>>65501604Ugh, we've been over this before!
1.0 fucked the m&p reputation hard. Cops adopted it and s&w shit all over them. Stuff like minimal support blaming the cops for malfunctions. Rolling updates. Basically a nightmare for armorers. You complain about glock glock bends over backwards to make it work replacement guns they go out of the way to train your guys. Basically free parts and will pay for the guns you were using before they bought glocks. If a glock is suspect they just replace it. S&w tried to deflect everything. No thats not an issue prove its an issue sue us to get anything done. Shitshow that burned what good will they had. Even if they fixed everything for the 2.0 their bad support proved fuck those guys they wont help when stuff goes wrong.

>>65502103What an embarrassment. I hate that my countrymen will pretend absolutely everything our great grand retards made is any good. And the worst part is it probably would have worked perfectly.
>>65502273You are absolutely the type that ought to be executed while attempting to invade.About 30% of the population in the country right now came here for the free house and the free money.The sooner you're all executed the better.
>>65502287Nope. They come to rape white women and spread their death cult. You are one of those retards what thinks taking their benefits away will make them magically remove themselves from the island. They must go...to the gallows.

How do you become knowledgeable about tanks? As a warplane fan, I am "tank-blind", all tanks look the same to me, I cant tell a Panzer and a Sherman apart, while the differences between a P51 and a Me109 are pretty obvious.

Now that the mods are asleep, do you prefer the 1851 Navy pr the 1860 Army?
>>65501222The under pressure part is the hard part. Just use it as a blunt weapon at that point.
>>65494248Obligatory
>>65494248It's the 1860 Army for me. The pinnacle of aesthetic refinement.
>>65494248Good or muh?

>>65502391I still have battle packs of those. I had a guy selling an Axis II in .308 for $400, w/4 200rnd battle packs. I snatched it and flipped the rifle for $300 very quickly. Still have 3 packs.
How are the /k/'s on the other image boards doing nowadays? Are there any more sites that cater to guns and weapons, and where I can say whatever the fuck I want, within reason at least?
>>65501884Chan culture has gotten a lot more mainstream among young people than many on here realize, especially young men. Provided there continue to exist both anons who link non-users to things that may catch their interest, and anons who will keep in line the newfags who consequently show up, there’s a lot of life left. I never really used any altchans and they’re probably fucked because they have no name recognition, but this here angolan axolotl agility contest forum is gonna make it.

The Wild West internet is gone, the frontier is closed. The only thing left is farming shitskins for ad views.
>>65502033This would be a crazy conspiracy, but sometimes I wonder if the Fudd was pushed into mainstream firearms discourse as a marketing scheme. Why listen to some crusty old man with outdated advice when you can trust tattooed bearded GWOT vet who wants to sell you the coolest new stuff? I think it was just a perfect storm of shit after 2012, but it sure worked out perfectly for them to use social media to hype up their brand new gimmick every few years.
>>65502311>but sometimes I wonder if the Fudd was pushed into mainstream firearms discourse as a marketing schemeAt best it was but only in a diffused manner, from that type of GWOT vet being a common type of guy that wanted to sell the products of his "vet owned business".

>>65502271Phones have both GPS and internet access that lets your supposed suicide-troops directly inform the Russian military of their exact location and the location of other friendly units. It lets them produce propaganda like that footage.Troops who are supposedly being sent to the frontline in handcuffs due to desertion would never be trusted with having their phones on them. Hell, with the type of war going on in Ukraine, you wouldn't even send them to the front. You could never trust them to hold their positions in the current type of war that's going on.

>>65502354This is hilarious
>>65496860Good stories? Welp /k/ related, I guess, I've had guns pulled on me by strangers several times. Once was an attempt to mug me, the second was a successful mugging, the third was a guy who REALLY wanted to get into a parking lot that was my job to keep people out of. These incidents were all 10-15 years ago. After that third guy I got into guns myself, and wound up pulling guns on me a whole bunch of times (she drank a lot), nearly shot her sister in the head with a 1911 and blasted a hole in a TV elvis style. She eventually had me arrested when I hit her during one of these freak outs, but I beat the charges and am still fortunately has guns. Broke up with her about 4 or 5 years ago and she recently did the same shit again to another boyfriend. Maybe tomorrow I'll remember some better stories but that's what I got that's /k/ related. I don't know if that's a common experience here or just a result of me living in shitty neighborhoods and making bad choices in women.
>>65496860Oh and I lived in Germantown most of my adult life. I'm in the next neighborhood over at the moment.

>>65481625Fun fact: Russian prisons have dedicated men to catch men's farts when they have to fart. He cacthes their farts with his mouth and runs to a single window to release them out of the room.(quite a necessity if you consider condtions of russains prisons when dozens of men a locked inside a small room)

>>65499057Not trying to demean the effort, but it can fly for about 45 minutes. That doesn't seem to suggest a good loiter time when you factor transit time to the approximate target area and then the return home if no 2ndary targets become available.
