Post paint and shit on each other for shitty paint jobs
>>65203249Did you tip them?
>>65203256I got a refund for the difference. And at least I can paint it myself, but the point of getting it done with the stock was durability so I still kinda miss out
>>65203239The sling is from Onward Research. Mine is very basic and not offered; they have a different splinter sling now that's fancier and more expensive though.https://onwardresearch.com/product-category/gear/slings/They make good stuff but are very much a hypebeast/limited drop company more than a serious tactical retailer.
>>65203249sponge scammed
>>65203649If it was sponged it would actually be better desu. This looks like it was dipped with some "paintball splatter" shapes
>ksg 12 vs 25Which would be "better" for home defense? Capacity is nice and all but 14+1 2 3/4 inch #4 or 00 buck should solve literally any problem that ever tries to enter your door, would 24+1 and a longer barrel be worth the extra like $400?
Shadowpubes.
>>65200741>would 24+1 and a longer barrel be worth the extra like $400?More like would 24+1 be worth the extra length, nevermind the extra weight and cost.
>>65200741if you're firing 24 shots you're in more trouble than you can handle on your ownlong barrel is a liability in enclosed spacesyou should run flechette in one tube (the one that is normally selected), with a mix of buck and apds in the other

In case you're interested.The nature of war has changed so much that AFU 3rd Assault Brigade has disbanded its sniper platoon.Drone warfare is more effective.The profession of a sniper is becoming a thing of the past.What are your thoughts on this?
>>65197293The main value that drones bring is the fact that they are attritable, so you can fly a fiber optic drone 50km behind enemy lines and lose it and it's still cost effective just for the recon gained, if you create a drone that has a sniper rifle, it's going to be several orders of magniture more expensive (high quality barrel, ammo etc) and less expendable.

Anyone know how to remove mothball stink from fabric? A previous owner of my DPM lovingly bugproofed some jackets and pants in the most retarded way possible, mothballs. I've tried Dawn, hot water, cold water, Dawn Powerwash, baking soda, washing soda, vinegar, Ozium, sunlight, you name it. Not a single one worked, only temporarily reduced the smell. My next thought is an ozone generator. Anyone ever try that on clothes?
>>65175881I still think it'd be a good idea to try and find a way of putting a little plastic tab between your finger and the barrel, just to reduce the odds of your finger brushing against it as happenstance. >>65187355A judge didn't tell them it's not yet. Although, a judge hasn't actually come down on whether shouldering a brace makes your pistol a rifle yet either, which I think is still very likely to happen.
>>65187734>it still has the same shitty bullets and thus the same sort of accuracy as .22LR.It has more velocity to not drop like a rock, though, and not having to account for a bullet dropping at a 30 degree angle is huge. And your bone stock CZ in 22WMR is going to way outshoot most 22s anyways. I don't exactly need 1/2 MOA accuracy. I think CZ actually guarantees 1MOA which is about 1/3 the size of what my 22 shoots lol. Like I said, if WMR sucks, then a .17 swap kit it is. Or leave it as a 9mm bulk priced trainer.>bullet design (other than being heeled)(pic) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>65199875Seen it once before in a duffle, like an ocean chocolate chip?

durying the ww2 a british theoretical defense to the V2 was to just use a fuck ton of fuck to intercept the balistic missile.would it work with modern tech?
>>65200153Rico le cute.
>>65200217>Let's just say there's a reason gun-based ABM is not a thing.I'd say it's entirely possible to make an effective gun based ABM system that would be effective against ICBMs... but the design choices you'd need to make move it swiftly from sensible procurement and into "The nocturnal emissions of Frank Tinsley"
>>65200121Possible? YesWith modern tech much more so. In fact I would say your chances go up from like .00001% to .001% on a typical strike.
>>65200139surely that's a war crime of some kind
>>65200121Zamynnn. That solider on the left is huffing some huge weird looking bong, lmao.
Okay I talked about this already in the STALKER thread but I am going to discuss it again here because it's 2:30AM and I can't sleep over it.>be me yesterday>bro hits me up and asks if I want to do an NVG night hike >yeah>I pick a place pretty close but one neither of us have explored>we both have passes to be there>place does not allow rifles or shotguns but does allow handguns with a CCW so I have a suppressed 3032 tomcat and he has a suppressed and braced TP9 with 10 rounds>Normally I have a suppressed AR pistol for these hikes but it's getting work done on it >the head of the trail is a gate and located about 30 feet from the road>we are the only vehicle there>we live deep in the boonies though so no one is around >get our NODs on and start the hike>bro wears ANVIS 9s, I run an Armasight Sidekick 640 bridged with an L3 Harris PVS14>we get about 200 yards into the hike when we hear someone scream "HEY!" from the roadComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>65196850>>65196854>Heard someone yell at us>Later hear gunshots nearby>Smell potEvery single piece of evidence points to 'grow op' with 99% certainty. Maybe just some surly druggies, but it sounds like they were defending something and you were encountering a layered attempt to spook you away. It could've been a lot worse, with all your gear on you guys probably looked like government or someone out to steal their shit. And of course they're going to try to hide signs they're there, probably just use bikes or something to get to their spot.
>>65196912I'm guessing you were at Hampstead Heath. Plenty of wooded areas that allow privacy and almost every other park in London doesn't have woods at the boundary. Anyone wandering off the paths and into the trees is either looking for a hookup or a complete moron who will, inevitably, wander onto a gay hookup sight.
>>65203110That's what we were thinking too. The fact that neither of us saw flashlights, muzzle flash (from what sounded like a 5.56 close enough to ring my ears) or any heat signatures with my helmet mounted thermal indicates that we weren't the only people out there with NODs and suppressors, or at least high quality flash hiders. The only reason we didn't spot them was because they didn't want to be seen and knew how to avoid it. The crazy part is bro wants to go back with a drone to check it out. I think they probably got pics of his truck and plates when we didnt initially leave since it was an hour and a half between when we started the hike and returned. Luckily I got an EP in my tube and need it repaired or he would be trying to talk me into going back out again.
In 2023 I was camping with my gf on the west coast. We had the rain fly off our tent and a mesh roof so I was watching the stars around midnight. I saw what looked like a drone up around, I don't know, 2000+ feet? It just looked like a point of light and took awhile for me to distinguish it from the stars at first, but eventually could see that it was moving up and down. Couldn't tell if it was a small drone at relatively low altitude or a larger drone/craft at a high altitude but I couldn't hear anything. I watched it for a while wondering when it would run out of batteries and go land somewhere because it was moving a lot, up and down and side to side sometimes quite quickly. After 20 min or so I started to fall asleep but kept waking up enough to check that it was still there until about 1am. At 4am I woke up to piss and heard what sounded like an electric car's warning tone/whistle coming from above the lake next to us. I shone the flashlight but couldn't see anything. Went back into tent with the hair on my neck standing up and after maybe a minute the sound faded like it floated away and I fell asleep again. That's the creepiest night I've ever had innawoods aside from fully explicable but still scary animal noises
>>65203224>didn't even get probed by the any ayylamos What a ripoff
During the ISIS conflict, the Kurds were highly praised for its resistance towards them, were they really that "good" or was it just the case of being backed up by US air support
>>65195823>better than Arab-tierKurds are knuckle dragging cavemen. Absolute primitives on par or worse than Arabs.
>>65198294definition of fell for it again award
>>65195909True, the qawat culture is too strong with the kurd.
>>65196409So did the kurds when the US was bombing everything in sight for them. Turns out it is easy for turdies with AKs to appear militatily competent when someone else is carrying you through conflicts.
>>65198799Well it was part of a huge PR project to redesign the region for the benefit of that middle eastern supapowa 2030 country that is incapable of achieving anything by itself, the campaign died a slow miserable death and jolly ate the kurds' cake.Strangely enough the collapse of the kurdish narrative was followed by that very unfortunate event that is as bad as 20 9/11s, a cynic would call it a plan B move.

Why was there such a long period of time when guns were the default army weapon, but helmets weren't common? They only became universal in WWI. Everyone in the Civil War was using normal fucking hats.
>>65201437Timed, not prox fuse. Prox fuses appeared way later.
>>65201632Tiime fuses were pretty standard during the civil war its just that the guns were direct fire only and cast iron black powder filled shells have a pretty abysmal lethal radius and dont produce a whole lot of shrapnel and what it does make is quite low velocity. When ww1 comes around and they have better shells and the ability to rain them down on you 24/7 no matter where you are it becomes a bigger issue. Its not like the civil war era where you will only be taking real casualties from artillery while exposed during an attack.
>>65202486Grant got into two extended sieges that basically foreshadowed the horrors of trench warfare, but nobody in Europe really noticed.Side note: the whole point of the original Shrapnel shells was that the velocity of the main charge was what gave the balls their killing power. The bursting charge within the shell was supposed to be just enough to split the shell open and allow the balls to fan out. Basically, it worked just like a canister round, except the balls were kept together until the timed fuze went off, which gave the round a much longer effective range than canister.
>>65202850>Grant got into two extended sieges that basically foreshadowed the horrors of trench warfare, but nobody in Europe really noticed.The Siege of Sevastopol foreshadowed it five years prior, nothing in the ACW was new except for maybe the trains. It was America who didn't really pay attention to Europe and weren't ready for warfare on that scale.
>>65191363>expensive>not very effective>lack of truly dangerous artilleryonly until the crest of 1900 did artillery become a extremely dangerousbefore 1900, they were slow to fire, stationary, and were more direct; they were essentially comparable to a line of men firing at youafter 1900, they became true area of effect weapons; a gun that shoots fucking bombs, and big ones at thatthe effectiveness of a helmet was also very poor, as you could only make the metal so thick before the user decides "to hell with this *takes it off*"
