How come shotguns, bolt actions, and lever guns don't have their own consistent generals on /k/? Is it lack of interest?
General threads are for newfags.
>>65076452Because the board is flooded with sandniggers and streetshitters posting off topic trash /pol trash. Between all that fuckry and the "nogunz" perennial plasticshit obsessives, very few posts on here aren't actually spam.
>>65076452There's often a shotgun general on here. The problem is that there is only superficial discussion. /k/ is filled with poorfags whose main body of knowledge comes from video games. That's not very conducive to discussions about Needham vs. Baker ejectors, the finer points of self-opening actions, etc.I'm happy to discuss either. What would you like to talk about? The locking bolt geometry in the Winchester 1895? Different types of forend release mechanisms? Swamped ribs? What are you bringing to the discussion?
>>65076452If you haven't noticed, in the past few years newfags and normies have invaded 4chan and caused a site-wide shift in many areas. Now just about every board is literally flooded with browns, gays, trannies, and bots. In the case of /k/ in particular, the board is absolutely swamped in poltards, noguns, children whose only knowledge of guns comes from games and movies, and foreigners. Foreigners in and of themselves are not an issue, as we have many /k/ bros that own some really cool shit, but many countries don't even allow their citizens to own guns yet we are bombarded with those ignorant posters shitting up threads with terrible takes, troll posts, and completely uninformed replies. As a result, /k/ has fallen into a state where many threads are posted that have nothing to do with anything other than politics and wars, while gun or weapon-specific threads die or sit well below the post limit because not enough knowledgeable people visit /k/ anymore to keep a thread alive. Keep in mind, a general is a place for people with a subset of knowledge to meet to discuss that autistically specific item in detail. When those people aren't present on a board, there's no way for a thread to outlive brain-dead threads about Ukraine or Iran that people with no guns can drool in. I believe that's also part of the reason why /arg/ is basically Reddit v2.0 (patchnote: "nigger" now allowed) because the concepts of the AR15 are virtually common knowledge now, and the same 6-8 people namefagging arguing about the same 6-8 topics every day can keep the thread alive. It's the exception, not the rule. In closing, generals are no longer sustainable in 4chan's current userbase demographic, especially as it applies to /k/ due to the subset of people with the proper knowledge and autism required to competently discuss the general-specific topics.
>>65076452Generals are a cancer that wannabe jannies use to push their control freak agenda, do not fall for their pressure. There is no rule on any board that says "use the general", it's completely made up control freak shit. If you want to talk about a bolt action or lever gun question just post the thread as a question with a relevant image and let 4chan run its course>>65076628Nice grok slop
>>65076452The best thing mods can do to partially heal /k/ is to ban generals like they did years ago on other boards. For the /pol/troons that made /k/ a /pol/ lite there is no cure, as containment boards like /pol/ never work unless you implement something akin that if you have cookies from a board, you can't post in another. >>65076628>Foreigners in and of themselves are not an issue, as we have many /k/ bros that own some really cool shit, but many countries don't even allow their citizens to own guns yet we are bombarded with those ignorant posters shitting up threads with terrible takes, troll posts, and completely uninformed replies.That's a fancy way to say noguns. Noguns have always been the biggest cancer of /k/ no matter if they are americans or foreigns. Even though foreigners should be careful about posting their funs on here seeing what happened IIRC 2010 when a dude from Slovenia had its whole legal collection seized for posting on here his illegal grenades.
>>65076452You can only pretend to care about gunko pops for so long. People aren't doing interesting things with guns so it's basically just a show off what you wasted $1000 on picture threads. Woah dude nice tattoo equivalent posting.When someone starts talking about hunting or posts pictures about it you'll get swarmed by people who don't hunt telling you what you're doing isn't min maxed to the caliber or gauge you should be hsing per chatgpt.See every 5.7 woods gun post when people start talking about grizzly calibers despite living in Florida meanwhile a 5.7 can be used nearly anywhere 22s can in many states while it's illegal to even carry a big bore in those same WMAs. Only people who hunt know that though.
>>65076745>minmaxingAlso a problem in home defense threads. There are people who will literally say anything other than [insert preferred gun] is useless for HD, as if shooting someone in your home is worthless with a 12 gauge or half a mag of 9mm or whatever.
>>65076554You're right. /k/ is too busy nowadays, we need dedicated boards like /kbolt/, /klever/, /kbird/ for all your shotgun needs and more.
>>65076460this is the truth. if you post in a general regularly you've 100% got terrible opinions about everything.
>>65076452A: They all have at their own time.B: Generals are gay and used to be a bannable offense back when this site was actually moderated.
>>65076452There's a levergun thread up now and shotgun threads all the time.>But it's not a general.It doesn't need to be called a general if it's a thread vaguely about that topic it does the same damned thing.Instead of making a thread about the subject you want to discuss you are making a thread whining about someone else not doing it, even though you can just do it yourself. Nobody is stopping you.See the problem?Be the change you want to see.
>>65076452I vastly prefer a sporadically posted but on topic general as opposed to the tripfag filled putrid cesspit of peacocking faggotry that every 'forever general' of this board eventually became. Then again, the biggest problem facing this board aren't the generals, it's the hordes of noguns that flooded in after the war in Ukraine kicked off.
>>65076460>General threads are for newfags.>>65077183>this is the truth>can't afford to post in /brg/I get it, I really do.
>>65077349>Be the change you want to see.Baking /primer general/ now, thx! We will discuss primers, priming, priming generally and priming specifically. Prime GWG OT posting also allowed for bumps, but must be prime.
>>65077453You can absolutely do that, but people probably won't post on it and it'll fall off after a while. That's just how an image board works, if people want to engage with a thread they post. If not, it slides and eventually gets pruned.
>>65076452cause like 90% of threads are no gunz shit and what the fuck is there even to post in one of these types of generals? usually if something comes up people post about the specific gun. it's dumb there is even an /ARG/ or AK or whatever but I guess in those cases there are so many brands even if a lot of it is meme shit. the thing I think is weirder is that it's hard to keep like precision shooting and hunting threads up when those are doing something and not just buying stuff >>65076554this>>65076568this is one of the other issues. 90% of the board is no gunz, and most of the has gunz either buys cheap shit or mall ninja shit so like all of the lever gun threads are henry and ruger, all of the shotgun theads are mossberg/mav88 and mall ninja turkshit and you never hear about loads or chokes or hunting it's just>check out my trashblaster 9000 for $199.85 out the door
>>65077662Check out my freshly mounted trash spotter for $214.38 out the door
>>65078252Nice tourque bit handle, is it accurate? And where can i find one?
>>65078267>is it accurate?How the hell would he know? Sure bro, let me get my $10,000 calibrated torque tester out of my closet and test it for ya....>>65077453Who's "we"? Do you have anything to say or ask? Or are you just wanting to be spoonfed like a baby?
>>65078267Literally Walmart. Stop staring at the survival knives you’re never going to use and direct your many chins towards your seismic stompers and it’s in the bottom of the case.You’re gonna have to talk to someone to open the case so maybe send your mom or buy it on Amazon.
>>65078252Nice
>>65078252Not bad, poorfag.
>>65078408Nice watermark, retard
>>65078425Apparently, you're too stupid to strip out metadata from your own pics, dumbass
>>650784374chin strips over half of it, what are you gonna do with the remainder sweaty?
>>65078459Keep gasping, midwit. Your mom says you're winning the internet.
>>65078488>>65078478>>65078465Area man got captcha'd.
>>65078502Yep. It's laggy as fuck for some reason today.
>>65076452Who cares? Generals are a cancer.
>>65078530Some generals are based. Others cringe.
Chuds, what are we blasting deer with? I’ve got core lockt and PowerPoints for the 30-30 and just bought some random 165 PP for the 06 because I don’t know what it likes.Jamming soft points into a tube and not shooting em jacks up the nose so I was looking at federal fusion. Was thinking about 165 fusions for the 06 too because they get absolutely massive and don’t blow apart like hornadys
>>65076568I keep wishing my 590's pump release was positioned like an AR's mag release even though it's still perfectly reachable where it is. I have a problem.
>Stealth shotgun threadbased
>>65078837IME your choice of round for deer doesn't matter a whole lot. So long as its some kind of controlled expansion you're good. You don't want a varmint round and you don't want something that's going to icepick, but don't overthink it too much.What DOES matter is your zero, and that changes with different ammo.I suggest the following:Buy one box each of a few different rounds you think might be good. Go shoot all of them off a bench. Pick whichever one is the most accurate. Buy a bunch of that. Use any leftover other ammo for plinking. Stick with whatever your preferred load is for actual hunting. Expect that if you shoot anything different you're going to have to re-zero.
>>65078837If you're running a tube mag, you've got a shitload of choices that don't involve cramming a fucking softpointed spitzer/boattail in the tube. I prefer ballistic tips, like Hornady SSTs for doing work and flat points for splashing gongs.
>>65080913Nigger I literally said I didn’t want hornadys because they separate and the core turns into tasty lead dust once it’s out of the cup. I’ll bring a pencil sharpener for my exposed soft points before I buy meme tips
