Experiencing an unusual heat wave at the moment. No one here has AC so we are all miserable. There's flooding down in Texas but what do you do when you experience Phoenix style heat? How do you fight it? What weapons do you use? I've been using fans and evaporative cooling. For two days I've been making ice in pyrex casserole dishes and it's still fucking miserable. Should I suck it up and buy AC or should I jury rig a swamp cooler. Advice from southwest bros? Heat waves are only getting stronger. How does a man pick a fight with the sun and win?
Also extreme weather prepper thread I guess?

Buy an AC also what has kept you from getting one?
Craigslist is your friend

can confirm, i was born with crosshairs in my eyes
Has anyone actually shot pic related? Does it even exist? I just want a 1911 with a sane capacity that isn't stupid expensive. Inb4 "remshit."
Pretty sure it's built on old para ordnance tooling.
Remington acquired para and tons of people instantly adopted the shitty customer service. They dissolved paras shop and were having the guns sent to different smiths subcontracting to Remington. Guns were getting lost/broken/butchered etc.
All this, and para really wasn't very good to begin with.
I've been wanting a high cap 1911 for awhile. Decided for the money to just buy a glock 41.
>>35047619
That's what I heard, but Remington has been saying that they've worked out some of the reliability issues.
>>35047489
That's the R1 Tactical model pictured. It's a single stack .45acp.
No other bird even comes close.
And don't even bring up the Rafale, that shit's ugly as balls.
>>35047452
because it was designed by Brits.
>>35047452
>Rafale
>shit's ugly as balls
Sure
>>35047452
It looks like someone bought a second hand F-16 and put on aftermarket bodykit to look like a Rafale.
Okay, I really need some help, guys.
My country, Norway, is going grabbing.
fucking election year!!!
one of the target rifles is the Mini-14, which was used by the terrorist Breivik in 2011.
so...
as the law is offered up now, PRIOR to the actual legal text being published, is about "military and police rifles that ORIGINALLY WAS PRODUCED for full auto use by military and police units"
my questions are simple (it may expand as the thread develop, and my scrutiny into the law grow)
1.) was the mini-14 ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED for military/police use?
2.) was/is it very easy to convert to fully auto?
3.) how far away (in case of one or more of the above) is the current civilian rifle in production from the original version?
I appreciate it if you would/could help a brother out.
1. No, not really but a version of the mini 14 is selective fire ( AC-556 ) But it is based on the M14 / M1 Garand action which was designed as a military weapon. (This also answers number 2 as it is a completely different reciever / trigger group required for selective fire.)
>>35047180
On point two:
I hate when people use terms like "readily" and "easily" and other relative terms in laws.
An average firearm owner is not capable of making any firearm fully automatic. This is because it requires more than just drilling away parts, it requires adding on features to parts or fabricating new ones. I will post it when I get to my desktop but there are cutaway gifs of a full auto M16 vs a civi AR15 that show they are entirely different beasts that a normal gun owner couldn't replicate with even a fairly well furnished home workshop.
The skill required to convert a firearm like that is that of somebody who could make their own gun from scratch /anyways/ which really just calls into question if gun control is effective to begin with.
>>35047212
>>35047245
I'd appreciate the Gif, and any other input from other anons.
BTW, the AC-556 looks like a new model, not the original model.
somehow you broke your leg and now you are using a knee scooter
what to carry and how ?

anybody ever impulse bought a springfield m1a and then shortly thereafter regretted it?
or any gun for that matter?
>>35047108
no never
>>35047108
If you wanna sell it, how much?
>>35047108
I've been thoroughly pleased with my M1A, desu.
Slightly regretted the M&P Shield, since I don't have a use for it currently.
>I want a box mag fed .410 that spits taurus judge/S&W governor ammo (3" MoA @3yards)
Who makes one? I don't want to spend 1300 dollars on a AR based off the greek(?) upper that still fails to cycle ammo
I'd settle for a lever action .410 without a choke(slug diameter bearings in ammo).
>>35047090
Mossberg made some old .410 bolt guns, you can still find plenty of converted Enfields too.
>>35047098
true prize is the box mag but if the bolt detaches similarly to a mauser bolty I'd go for that...
>need the box mag or bolt to sit elsewhere while the gun is handy to get to
>Being poor
>Not converting noguns
>not making them buy tabo bell on the way back
You're an embarrassment to gun owners.
I tried making some random FAL that would be up to today's Military Specifications
So just an FAL with an M203? Sage goes in all fields. A thread died for this, KYS OP, etc...
:(

Shoot the nog and charge the hyena with housing a violent animal.

What if the melanoid is just walking his yeen peacefully?
Just out of wondering curiosity, How many of you are actually ready to pull the trigger that ends someone's life? Everyone fantasies about being the John McClain hero that kills all the bad guys and doesn't have to worry about the fallout at the end but real life is usually much more muddy and grey.
Are you truly ready and willing to take someone's life if they are robbing you? Sure it is your money and possession but those are just things. Things that can be replaced at a small sum given today's customer protection policies with banks and credit cards. If they mean to kill you simply to kill you obviously the answer is to do everything to prevent it but vast majority of muggings and robberies end without bloodshed. Who are you to decide it is acceptable to escalate the situation and kill a human being over a some small pittance in the grand scheme of life?
>they deserved it for attacking me first
Yes criminals are in the wrong and must be sought out to receive justice. Where they will hopefully one day emerge from prison reformed and ready to restart life. If you snuff it out before they had a chance to redeem themselves who is worse? The person that over reacted or the person that made a foolish mistake?
>>35046957
>how dare you make me kill you

Are you from Sweden or something?

You got a number on the amount of people that get reformed?

>that
>desert camo
It's closer to urban camo than anything. It's not really camo in any capacity though.
>UCP
>desert camo
Its primarily an urban/gravel camo, though it works as desert camo once it gets dusty
>>35046729
To remind the rest of you fucking niggers that, at any given time, the only difference between whatever third world shit hole you hail from and a nuclear desert is American indifference.
What if we faced the Maus? How do you think modern tanks would've been influenced by the combat experiences documented by those who would've faced the Maus? Would they be changed at all?
>>35046625
No.
Tanks would be exactly the fucking same.
Hand held Anti armor devices would have developed slightly faster probably.
But tanks wouldn't be all that effected.
Oh, we also probably would have made a huge anti bridge effort in Europe as well.
>>35046625
No, the Germans had virtually no fuel at this point in the war.
>>35046625
*blocks your path*
Is it a good idea to buy one of these?
>>35046522
For the historical value they're meh tier at best. Just get one of those M88As in 9 if you like the design.
I like my M57 Tokarev. Its a pretty good carry gun and they're cheap as dirt.
No reason to get a surplus one unless you like the aesthetic

>Is it a good idea to buy [gun]?
Yes. The answer is always yes.
Opinion on most western countries adopting Multicam? So far US, Russia, UK, Australia, NZ, France, Poland, Netherlands, etc - have adopted plain and edited Multicam patterns as combat uniforms to some extent in their armed forces.
Give your opinions on the pattern.
Works quite well for my AO as it has enough greens to blend in with the sagebrush but enough browns to not stick out against the sand.
I've got a Crye field shirt (since discontinued) and OCP pants in the pattern. Both breathe well, though the Crye shirt's dye has held far better against the punishing sun than the gov't dyes, no surprise there.
I don't think that northern European armies adopting it en masse as a general-issue camo (e.g. Denmark, Norway) makes any sense at all, because it is too light. But for a variety of environments, it works very well. YMMV.
Can't unsee the dicks in Auscam.
>>35046516
I guess for conventional war it may be a bit weird seeing the same looking camo for all sides. But then again we aren't going to see conventional warfare for a while. I think it's good for the purposes its going to serve.
