How important is technique in a fight for your life?
Will a physically weaker but more technically proficient fighter stand a chance against a stronger, more randomly-swinging opponent?
>>34052767
very important
and yes duh of course they would
anybody that has martial arts or boxing training or just plain lots of experience street ie cheater fighting has a big advantage
of course the larger opponent only needs 1 solid hit....

I dunno, I've seen some feisty little cunts get absolutely belted by someone bigger than them, but it didn't really connect with anything important (top of the head, shoulder, etc) and that just made the angry manlet even angrier.
But yeah, basically if its not some happy-slaps fight in a ring with rules, you bet someone's not getting up if the other guy knows what they're doing.

no statistically s/he will get his shit pushed in sorry. s/he can get lucky once who knows.
I'm moving out of a rented house and came across this. Any idea if it's real or just some faggy decoration?

Would any of you happen to have a 1950's made K31 or FR8 mauser lying around that you don't want?
I have a P64 if anyone is interested.

150 bucks and im interested
Just throwing it out there. M&P Sport 1, more or less looking to trade for an AK varient.
Thinking of getting an Opinel. Should I go for stainless or carbon? Should I get a No. 8 or a No. 7? I'm planning on using it for just general EDC stuff. Not sure if I want to use it for food but I'd imagine the stainless would be better in that case.
>>34050225
Carbon
And then force the patina on it
No. 8
8 is small enough as is and can barely get a full grip. I imagine the 7 wouldnt even fit my hand.
>>34050294
Is the no. 8 comfortable to carry in the pocket?
I have smaller than average hands.
>>34050307
I don't carry it, but I imagine so.

Louisville Slugger OP.
Also, good taste in women my man.
God you're a fucking loser OP. Focus on more important things in life like moving out, meeting new people, furthering your career and education, get that GED and find a fucking girlfriend man.
>prioritizing toys when you're obviously a loser
GG anon. GG.
>too impulsive to save money
This is why you're poor
Redpill me on .50 Beowulf and .458 Socom. They look insane and cool as shit, but what is it like to shoot these rifles? is it worth $1+ a round?
>>34047075
I don't see the difference between them and a box fed 12 gauge shooting slugs for a fraction of the cost.
>redpill
Kys faggot

>As of the fiscal year 2018 president’s budget request, there are no plans to retire either famed the A-10 Warthog or the venerable U-2 spy plane, Air Force officials said May 23.
>Budget overview documents show that the service intends to fully fund the entire fleet of 283 A-10s, while also “extend[ing] the service of the U-2.” The RQ-4 Global Hawk, the long-endurance unmanned aircraft planned to replace the U-2, will also continue undergoing sensor upgrades.
so now what

that's dumb. a-10 is trash
Scorpion when?
A couple old fuckers in politics able to keep some obsolete piece of shit flying
Truck guns are totally useless unless you live in an extrememly rural area. Most self defense scenarios are very quick and would not allow you time to get to your truck gun. THE MEME ENDS HERE
It's almost like a disproportionate amount of people in rural areas own firearms.
Sage.
CAR SWORDS ARE THE WAY OF THE FUTURE!
>>34045636
You missed the point. When Im talking rural areas im talking about areas almost comepeltly isolated from civilizations. Them i could see why you would want a single shot or pump 12ga to shoot flares or hunt with. Most truck gun ideas are centered around you fighting jamal and friends

>>34045716
It's a piece of weld wire and a selector switch, if you can't build based on that then you probably just shouldn't ever try.
>>34045907
Hey dumb fuck, non-engineer. There are ambiguous dimensions. This is going to lead to scrap and rework. If you want 50% rejection rate and you have money pouring out of your ass, go for it. My shop would NO BID on that shit design.
why is india so obsessed with building carriers when it barely has many modern destroyers/frigates/submarines? China on the other hand didn't get a carrier until it had a shit load of AESA destroyers,

Hey /k/
Im planning to hike the Pacific Northwest Trail in summer 2018. The first 1/3 of the trail is in Montana and Idaho in some serious grizzly bear country. Because of this, I have been considering buying my first handgun as a sort of "mountain gun", specifically the glock 29. In backpacking everything is about weight and the Glock 29 fully loaded is just over 2 pounds. I know this subject is more than a little controversial, but before this devolves into a debate about the thickness of a 1500 pound grizzly skull plate or how shitty 10mm is I'll say this. I have read/watched multiple first-hand accounts of people putting down grizzlies with a 10mm auto, and although it is inarguable that a magnum is much more ideal for big game than any semi-auto cartridge, I am leaning towards the glock for a few reasons:
1) The g29 has 9+1 capacity and can provide quicker follow up shots.
2) Its cheaper than any high quality revolver.
3) Its considerably lighter than any magnum revolver.
Basically, just like carrying any firearm, this gun is just going to give me piece of mind. Ive hiked bear country before, but the isolation of this trail, and how far from home I will be, makes me think I could get alot of comfort out of having something on my hip. I think anyone who has spent nights deep in bear country would agree with me. What do you guys think, is the G29 the best choice for this undertaking? I know a big bore revolver would be better in terms of ballistics, but I cant be lugging around a big metal frame gun, and I really like the idea of having multiple follow up shots.
>>34038409
Also, I will add that I am planning on putting a longer aftermarket barrel on it if I do go with the Glock 29.
You'll need to study the cranium thickness' upon different parts of the skull and make an educated decision there. I've seen bear hit in the face (not brain) get pissed and keep coming.
My assumption is that between the eyes is the least dense, but again, you'll have to look it up.
There are no grizzlies in Washington anymore, although some fucknugget hippies in Olympia are planning on deliberately reintroducing them. Go for the G20 or G40 over the G29 - you're not concealing, and the extra barrel length gets you more energy delivered per shot.
Switching away from the Springfield was a mistake. 5.56 just doesn't have enough stopping power, even when the AR doesn't jam. That's why the 458 SOCOM was invented. It's too late to go back to the old Springfield, but there are plenty of good bolt actions on the market. All you'd have to do is add a box magazine. Chamber them in 308, and you won't even have to adopt a new cartridge.
>muh rate of fire
Great way to waste ammo. You can't miss fast enough.
>muh suppressing fire
Better accomplished with with fully auto belt fed guns. Right tool for the job.
>this is bait
No, it isn't.
>>34061438
North Korea agrees with you.
>>34061450
Nugget is a shitty bolt action. There's a reason all modern bolts are based on the Mauser: fixed bolt head.
>>34061438
I know this is bait, but...
Springfield? Did you just skip over the M1 and M14? (That said, the M1 is outdated and finnicky and the M14 is just outright shit, regardless of the cartridge it's chambered in.)
Terrible considering those winchesters don't blue worth shit since they're nickle steel.
You also lowered its value considerably.
>>34059752
Could you get some closer photos?
>>34059909
The gun probably wasn't worth much to begin with and wasn't in that great of condition so I think it served better for OP to hone his skills. Stop being so butthurt
Part of the appeal of the nugget was being able to get it for dirt cheap. Now that we can't get that anymore, does /k/ still swear by the mosin? Or are yugo Mausers where it's at?
We need to hold a referendum on the new official /k/ gun. My mosin cost $325 in 2016.
The era of cheap Slavshit is long gone I'm afraid.
>>34059688
>Is the Mosin still the official gun of /k/?
I thought the SKS was /k/'s mascot rifle?
>>34059730
>The era of cheap Slavshit is long gone I'm afraid.
and? That doesn't mean that we should collectively toss them in the trash and declare the Savage Axis the new meme rifle.
>>34059730
I only paid $235 for mine 3 months ago.
