>>64549287Why are they called "zip" guns?
>>64622863Chinese ai didn't know, and it had some suggestions for things to do besides making guns.
>>64622863Probably since it was quick to manufacture or a sound they'd make
>>>/x/41648435 Crossposting to /K/ since I heard you guys have a lot of information about this stuff. Been on a little wild goose chase over supposed faster than light travel, and weapons. Code words are the great fark massacre, erewhon, and the dugway zapper/proteus. I Might be an annoying little shit, but does anyone have links/explanation for all this? Tried looking at the old fark and ants threads, but fark needs an account to look at stuff now, and ats is no more.
>>64625289idk, if you've seen the images of the zapper then you've seen it all. all you're going to dig up is more schizobabble. even assuming that any of this shit is real, the feds have scrubbed all genuine info off the internet by now and the feds + genuine schizos have flooded the internet with schizobabble and disinformation about this kind of shit. and even if you did find genuine info, how would you know it's real? the physics would be some real in the weeds PhD level stuff. you're better off just going and reading science fiction than trying to research FTL and space zappers
Hi guys. It's that time again where you get to actually use all the cool toys you accumulate to see if they can actually kill something.

>>64621977>didn't recover bulletDamn shame. I'm tempted to dig out a little handheld pinpointer to double check my game but at this point as a sub-big game hunter I think I've done pretty well for recognizing when a bullet is recoverable. Hell it's usually basically just under the skin or there's an obvious red soft spot along the spine.

Why don't younger generations like guns anymore? I was a city kid and everyone thought guns were awesome and everyone would go hunting every summer. Now it seems like they're just scared of a gun biting them on the ass. I was cleaning my gun the other day and my neice saw me and she acted like I was wiring a bomb or something.
>>64623953Lol where the fuck do you even live, here its ezpzYou need a safe tho, but its honestly not the dumbest thing to have anyway
>>64623985Hungary. Shit's retarded. I still have guns, but i'm not allowed to hunt. Every year they bitch and moan about how there's too many wild hogs and deer that fuck up the crops and yet they still charge you ~300$ to shoot a boar (and that's not even for the meat mind you, that's just for taking the shot!). It's ridiculous but lots of western euros come here for it because it's even worse in the west apparently. Here you can still hunt with dogs and shit otherwise.
>>64623996>and yet they still charge you ~300$ to shoot a boar (and that's not even for the meat mind you, that's just for taking the shot!)....What? You don't get to keep the meat of animals you kill?
>>64605833Bro are you in Council?
>>64623764>Having a weight limit on big game rifles seems a little odd; wonder what caused that lol.Back in the 90s some fags were using .50 BMG rifles to shoot elk from super far away, not befitting the fair chase stuff and occasionally being part of dumb ways to try to dodge poaching laws as well as often really fucking up the elk itself. Basically what >>64623936 assumed but too early for the click farming part.
Why is italy using a german designs for their attack submarines, despite their secular industry in underwater warfare? Looks like a blow to national pride to me
>>64622185Aging nations like Italy desperately need immigration from India and developing economies to ensure their critical infrastructure and industries remain productive and innovative, skilled immigrants across qualification levels guarantee that Italy will always remain ahead of the curve, it's why nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment is counteractive to EU's economic and social security, the values are threatened by Russian and other hostile actors backing these "nationalist" political organizations.
>>64622448we don't want your sad cow shit eating chinless excuses for a "human" anywhere near our continent jeet
>>64622408The point is that a nation that pioneered submarine warfare alongside frogmen and manned torpedoes should prioritize the development of said branch of the navy over, say, ground forces vehicles like tanks or IFVs. The fact that they don't and instead decided to fund domestic projects which they hardly have any experience about (like the ariete tank) befuddles me
>>64622497because what you started isn't always what you are good at.just look at the bongs, they invented modern dentistry
>>64622497Most of Italy's smaller naval builders are developing mostly midget subs, SDVs and UUVs.

The fact that it's being coming more synonymous with annoying genderfluid freaks online than my own people makes me extremely angry.

Throwing around an idea in my head for an open source rifle chambered in 30 carbine. Want it to be partially 3D printed and hardware store material. Don’t have much of a concrete design in mind, but i think it should take an FGC9 style lower with an m1 carbine magazine well and AR FCG. Upper would be held to the lower with ar-style push pins. Debating between round pipe or rectangular for the receiver. Straight blowback would have course be the simplest way forward for an action style. Any other ideas on how to proceed?
>>64624655The magnets have nothing to do with the delay operation. He used them to eliminate bolt bounce.
>>64618705>>64624736I've been thinking about a system that uses a magnet inside an aluminum receiver to delay the bolt cycling with eddy currents, which should allow the use of FRTs in ban states because it actually reduces the ROF even with an untrained shooter.
>>64616177.30 carbine would benefit from a simple locking system, thats what they did here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crist%C3%B3bal_Carbineprobably your best compromise between simple and not sucking if 30 carbines your choice of caliber
>>64617822Did you upload the files?
>>64625101I'll probably post test files here along the way, but I was serious when I said I wasn't far. I'm maybe 25% done with the receiver and I haven't started on anything else. I'm stealing some of the dimensions from the original design, but nothing will interchange. The only part that I don't know for a fact I have to change is the sear.

Why are pen guns AOWs when glock slides are essentially same thing but unregulated? Im gonna send an email to gun control groups and find out.
>>64622616That would only slow someone down who doesn't have two thumbs. EXTRACTOR AND SAFTEY PLUNGER CAN BE REMOVED.
>>64622461Because Glocks look like guns and pen guns don’t. It has nothing to do with the mechanism.
>>64622783True, a glock does look like a glock but just a slide could be avada kedavra territory.
>>64622578Retard.

Seems like the Mexican army have to deal with narco mines. Should the US be worried its neighbor is becoming like a failed african country?
>>64624816>Should the US be worried its neighbor is becoming like a failed african country?Becoming?
>>64624930I hope I have don't have to explain to why how much of a terrible idea it is to bring even more Mexicans with dogshit voting habits, and a high degree of tolerance towards drug crime, into the United States.
>>64625064Post US homicide rates
>>64624816It already is, and has been for a long time. The border ought to be closed.

What game actually requires 3 inchers and what game actually requires 3.5 inchers?
>>64624428Unrelated but I remember needing to buy some shotgun shells and was quite confused as to why they were expensive when I brought them to the register, only to find out while driving away that they were 3 1/2" shells. (I forgot that shotgun shells had different lengths, whoops, no refunds!)
>>6462446195% of shells are loaded nowhere close to max spec. Also, if you look at the ballistic data on various loads you will see there's an awful lot of 2-3/4" shells that outperform 3".Now it's theoretically possible to load a shell that would max numbers on paper in 3.5", but there's really not any practical application for that. A 2-3/4" shell loaded with Tungsten mogs a 3.5" steel shotshell for hunting, and a 3.5" shell loaded to its max capacity with tungsten would be much too high recoiling for any practical purpose, and you'd be better off using a 10ga for that load for the heavier gun and a better pattern.
>What game actually requires 3 inchers Asian girls>what game actually requires 3.5 inchers?Adult Asian girls
>>64624428>3.5”Geese. Shots can be 60+ yards and while that’s easy for guys like George Digweed, for geese in windy conditions you’ll want the density and range. Also turkey. Again shots can be at 50-60 yards where most bird shot from shorter shells loses its oomph and density.>3”Birdshot for Ducks, buckshot for deer, and slugs for bear>2 3/4”Everything else.
>>64625103>Birdshot for Ducks,I read that as doves for a second
>let's take a classic gun and make it ugly as shit
>>64622159Would love this in .357 mag over 20ga
>>64622159that looks gross but still better than the 42>>64622166>no it needs to clear the iron sights>and also a red dot for some reason
>>64622297I think they only started making the 42s last year. the other issue is it's savage so there's a good chance the guns are made in a third world country like canada. they only actually make like half of the stuff they sell in the US. It's like how mossberg makes a bunch of shit in mexico or how winchester/browning are kind of annoying about trying to find where they make their guns. like you have to go to a specific page on their site to find it, but they brag when the guns are made in japan
>>64623150>>64622297wait, no. there's an NRA vid from 2016 and wiki says it came out in 2012. they're never going to make them in better calibers
>>64623158You'd be surprised.If anything the last few years have seen a lot of never ever guns released by companies.
Did "cowboys" and people in the west in general actually fan their revolvers? I imagine most shootouts happened drunkenly and strung out on opium withdrawal in bars over cardgames so pretty close range where it could actually be feasable, but is there any evidence they actually did this besides cowboy movies made in italy?
>>64623685>significantly lower recorded murder ratesFtfy, I'm honestly extremely suspicious of these claims. Even if the town based ones were accurate I have little doubt that the vast majority of homicides in that time period happened in rural areas and was likely never reported or recorded. I think the concept of the wild West being more peaceful than today is almost as revisionist as the idea that it was like in the movies, at least as far as areas outside of town went.
>>64624358If there was cattle, land, gold and silver or pussy there was killing in that town. The west was wild.
>>64624358>>64624363the vast majority of people aren't interested in violence
>>64624487Do you realize how many wars/conflicts happened just prior or during the wild west period? Violence was the rule in that period.
>>64624505The military has always been less than 1% of the population.
