Summer is upon us, anons. Will you sit at your computer in a dark room and moan online about trivial instances of ignorance and foolishness displayed by “tourists” on a singaporean betamax collecting forum, or will you go out and explore our world’s hidden treasures and horrors in a heavily armed fashion and return to share your adventures with your comrades? /k/ of late has far too much whining and far too little STALKING, so let’s turn that around. I’ll start by sharing my stalk of the B-24 Dragon bomber crash zone at Loon Lake, Idaho the last couple days. I don’t have STALKER challenge rules in a suitable resolution, so if you do, please post.>picrel: near the highest elevation portion of the trail, ~6,000 ft. No mutants spotted in old wildfire burn scar area.
>>65199905Fell kinda blessed I've not yet had a negative reaction while carrying a full sized infantry rifle while backpacking.
>>65200169Call of the Zone for me, a spinoff by the late DoctorX with his mods baked in. Made sense for me, since I'd download them all anyway when playing CoC. Never got into Anomaly when that was the thing, too much Miseryshit for my taste. I know lots of stalkers enjoy the hardcore survivalism, but for me, I prefer Stalker as an atmospheric openworld shooter, so I only care about mods that give me excuses to get into shootouts, and mods that expand the arsenal so I can play with whatever toy I feel like on a particular day or playthrough. I've heard of Gamma but never tried it myself, seemed like it was just more of the same as Anomaly.
>>65202319Maybe you're getting helped by normies and their lack of understanding of guns? Wood = not scary, fixed mag = not scary, iron sights = not scary. Plastic = scary, detachable mag = scary (especially if protruding noticeably from magwell), optics = scary (especially if recognizable from cowadooty).
10/10 OP
>>65199838>I've got enough other projects atmTotally understandable. Friend's got a UTV and wants to do some "stealth mods" to it as well (second muffler, blackout switch for lights etc.), I'm helping him with camo stuff but so far I only got to making a snow camo cover for it.*You can always start with the smallest things once time permits like putting old socks over mirrors and indicators and tying a sandbag over the license plate and tail light...*BTW non-woven gardening fabric (that kind used for protecting plants from frost) works surprisingly well for snow camo - weighs and costs almost nothing and packs small...

>>65201777Does anyone other than me still even play CoD? Honestly, the armory function is one of the most /k/ things of the game. You make a STG44 with cut stock, M203, and muzzle-check attachment and I'm just a happy man.Warzone is pretty fun to get your arcade game on with wild loadouts.
>>65203879>You make a STG44 with cut stockWere you here in 2017? Because I recall /k/ mocked the shit out of COD:WWII for being the first one where you could cut the STG-44's stock, except it would be cut PAST the receiver so the gun wouldn't realistically function.
>>65204059That was Vanguard where you played in campaign against a Nazi Ryan Reynolds, it was a total clusterfuck where I can't begin to explain the attachments other than having to throw spaghetti at a board in order to give everyone eight options instead of five.I can't say I know enough about the MP44 if its receiver went back into a rattail in the stock like a shotgun (or ares SCR), but this looks plausible if it was updated.
>>65201777What is this narco-slut doing in France?
>>65203879>Does anyone other than me still even play CoD?Takes too much room within my SSD. Not worth it given that other FPS games look much better while occupying far less space. Last one I played was Black Ops 7, a disappointment.

>>65200827Droida and their components are not cheap in SW, In the OT Luke's family had to buy used from the jawas and even then could only afford two that they assumed they would have to fix up. Keep in mind Lume's family, being water farmers on a desert planet would have been relatively well off.
>>65203473Smart and utilitarian droids are expensive but a B1 is almost as cheap as the rifle it totes around and buzz droids don't need to do anything but locate something that looks mildly important and stick a drill into it. They also only need to be durable enough to survive getting on the ship. Also, the Trade Federation is itself a gigantic manufacturing power able to slam complex component out at scale, they aren't paying the podunk tax for being on a sparsely populated desert planet that barely gets any traffic on a good day.
>>65203596I think a large part of the B1's cheapness was from the fact they might had literally made over a hundred billion of them over the span of the Trade Federation's existence; they are in the running for the most common model of humanoid droid in existence. Under that metric, the B1 is actually pretty good value and you do see post war battle droids converted into labor units in places like Plazir-15. They'd certainly be a better fit for most menial jobs than a 3PO unit.

Spanish trash pistol has been delivered. This thing is actually really nice, my first piece of modernish surp. Overall really well built and heavy. This is a "good" which is the lowest condition i've seen, just has a lot of holster wear. Trigger is very strange, feels like a good trigger but with a lot of friction, if that makes sense.

On a side note I once read a sci fi short story (which I cannot find again). Basically a fleet commander was being on trial for failure.He failed to occupy a planet. The inhibitants were always at war with each other, very violent, millions dead, too. so it sounded easy but for some reason they stopped killing each other and then they got their hands on some star tech and started reverse engineering stuff and slowly but surely rebelled and it took them a while and lots of casualties but they repelled the fleet.So he gets demoted and discharged and on his way out meets a fellow commander friend who asks what his plans are and where he is going. Answer is they call their planet esrth and he is going as far as he can because they swore revenge and they are coming…

>>65197247Finest gasoline engines ever made were the "C Series" Pratt & Whitney R2800. 1945-1957. 126,000 made. You have to heat them to start them if it's chilly at all because SAE 120 weight motor oil. 50 gallons/engine. 2800 cubic inches, weigh 2500 pounds, run 2500 hours between overhauls and make 2500 horsepower at 2800 rpm. Factory ran one at 3200 rpm and 50 psi of boost for 24 hours = 3,800 hosses. Made Top Secret cause nobody wanted 4000hp Lagg 7s shooting at us. 2800s powered DC6's which way outlived the Wright 3350 powered DC7 (although once a stock 7 beat 20 Unlimited Prop Racers in a 1000 mile air race because no pitstop.) -6s have been delivering food and fuel to worthless Eskimos for 40 years without missing a day in Alaska.Everett Airlines. I worked there. Costs $1500 to heat the hangar back up if you open doors. DOZENS of 2800s ate 20 and 37mm cannon shells saving the pilot - and ran 200 miles to get him home with cylinders blowed off and pistons flailing around through holes in the cowling. Wanted to impress pussy you flew a Mustang. Wanted get home to your girl = Thunderbolt All Day.

Has the state of the economy affected your desire of the firearm hobby?Feels like in 2017 or so I was getting a new (used) gun monthly through Armslist and enjoying life a lot more, shooting regularly. Now it's 2 or 3 times a year at absolute most. I dunno anons, times feel tight but I also have a lot of what I already need stockpiled, so no need to buy anything.
>>65202873yeah, sorry about that

I'll keep doing my civic duty instead of digressing into brownie tier behavior like you kikes did to Yitzhak. But just know that glowniggers and jannies will face the same wall.
I play with the idea of buying new guns but I think I'm going to just get two or three suppressors, and then buy gear, magazines, and ammo for what I already have. I'm pretty satisfied with what I have.Might pick up the civilian MP7 if it releases and after the kinks have been worked out, but that probably won't happen for a long time, if it does at all.
>>65202218100%. I do unloaded readying and unholstering drills, a rack/aim/dryfire/reload mag and repeat routine, and practice moving my gun of choice fluidly between rooms in my apartment. Sometimes I do some calisthenics and run the movement drill to simulate using the gun under duress. I shoot 3-4 times a year just to verify I can shoot decent enough groups at range and do double taps at close range. I used to shoot much more often before the Scamdemic and the associated inflation. I always knew the government was simply going to make ammo unaffordable so as to truly implement the gun control agenda.
>>65202243Same, anon.
If they stockpiled a decent amount of drones, could they have beat the Feds?I read the Feds went full genocide near the end because there was some sort of legal 30 day siege time limit before they had to draw down.
>>65202087>That's literally how the united states came into being.1. The British Empire was a foreign power, with the majority of its troops and forces for the war being sent in. Yes it had some local sympathizers, but it still had to deal with a lot of the disadvantages in terms of logistics, local knowledge and so on that come with that. It was up against a popular domestic revolution that it had fucked up the politics on significantly. A civil war is a lot messier, as we ourselves proved.2. The 1700-1800 is not the 2000-2100. There has been a radical change in the difference in power of an individual vs an organization, in every single sphere. The entire dynamics of humanity worldwide have shifted, in terms of, again, basically fucking everything. Where people work, how people get fed, how people can feed themselves vs being dependent on an industrial supply chain, geopolitics, communication, the works. It was also a unique moment in time unto itself in terms of the global situation and how that pulled on Britain.3. It was still a near-run thing. I'm sure there are endless alternative universes where it's remembered as Washington's Rebellion or something and was successfully put down. This is easily forgotten, but we have a lot more revolution and insurgent efforts to look at through history vs the American Revolution and part of what makes ours memorable is precisely that it worked out so well, when typically they don't. And not just in the conduct of the war, but the aftermath in maintaining it. And we effectively had to fight a second one decades later to finally forever close the door on Britain at least partly denying our independence.

They were British subjects settling on land that was owned by the British Empire.

I have no clue if anyone is interested, but I thought that I would share do a plane of the day for interwar aircraft.Today's aircraft is the Dobi III.The Dobi III is quite a curious aircraft in many ways, for one, it is the only fighter aircraft to have come out of Lithuania. It features a crescent wing of narrow chord and thickness (especially for the time), unique for the time too. The type was designed by Jurgis Dobkevičius, who was 23 or 24 years old at the time of conceiving it. He had two previous designs, the Dobi I, a sporting aircraft and the Dobi II a military project for a reconnaissance aircraft that was one of the fastest aircraft with a 200 hp engine at the time. The Dobi III, as stated before, was intended to be a fighter and featured a more aerodynamically refined fuselage than its predecessors (the fuselage outline resembling that of a slimmed down Albatros fighter). Despite the novel and streamlined design, the aircraft was more well known for its issues than anything else. It was said that in a German newspaper the Dobi III was a "blind cow" with no ground visibility. This was part of the low pilot seat, high cowling and wing positioning on the type. Nevertheless the Dobi III gained great interest from the Lithuanian public being able to reach speeds of up to 130 knots with a 182 hp BMW engine and the program showed signs of a new beginning for Lithuania as a country with a thriving aviation industry. Of course, this did not materialize. On 8 July 1926, the aircraft was destroyed in flight with Dobkevičius on board. He did not survive. His funeral procession was attended by a great many people from Kaunas and with his passing, the aviation industry of Lithuania died too.Presently, the crash site is marked by a street and a secondary school bearing the name of Dobkevičius.
>>65201738Thank you. I will write about another aircraft later, just not certain if I should do another Finnish aircraft or pick another country (perhaps Switzerland or Denmark).
>>65199183craftsmanship
I am tired so I will keep this short.The FMA AeMB.1 and AeMB.2 Bombi were two very similar aircraft, both filling the bomber role for the Argentine Air Force. Constructed at the Fábrica Militar de Aviones or FMA plant in Córdoba.The type was a single engine low wing monoplane made of Chromium-Molybdenum Steel tubing for the fuselage and wood for the flying surfaces. The type also featured a fixed tailwheel undercarriage configuration and large fairings around the main undercarriage and a turret on the top of the fuselage.A single AeMB.1 was produced, as well as 14 or 15 AeMB.2s (figures are conflicting on this). The AeMB.1 first flew in 1935 and entered service in 1936 along with the AeMB.2s and these served until 1945. The service life is utterly unremarkable, never having been used in combat, set any records or anything of that sort.None of the type survive today.
>>65203947Another picture, this is another type where high resolution images are difficult to find. Last picture.
