The katana is a simple, elegant, good-looking all-in-one weapon that satisfies all your sword needs. Its versatility means it can be the user's sole melee weapon aside from a small sidearm, which doesn't really count. This combines with Japan's standardization on the katana to make it a very popular, iconic sword.
By contrast, there's too many western swords in play. More recent sabres are different from medieval swords, and when westerners think about swords, they think about knights in shining armor. Rapiers are totally different, and aren't very cool because they're needle-like poking weapons (cutting is way cooler than poking) associated with silly stances. The katana is associated with minimalist styles, which are inherently cooler.
Two western swords stand out ad being really cool: the Guts-like fuckhuge greatsword and Excalibur. The former is an exaggerated fantasy weapon which you can't replicate in real life, and which is obviously impractical to carry around on a regular basis unless you get attacked by giant monsters every day. Excalibur is the western equivalent of a katana: another simple, versatile sword that does it all and represents a category used widely by stereotypical knights. If anyone has any doubts as to whether an Excalibur-type sword is super cool, simply refer to how popular female King Arthur is in Japan.
Ergo Katana is superior to western weapons. I admit the quality if steel can be worse but as a design its superior
>>33928115
You fucking triggeres me and I have one in my closet at home.
Katana is not superior and most of them nowadays are even worser quality than they used to be.
Katana is shit.
The fact that it never evolved is evidence that Japan was backwards shit.

Hello /k/,
Completley new to guns, I want to get a shotgun for home defense.
Should I go with buckshot or slugs for maximum murder power?
Thank you in advance.
>>33928069
I don't really think that there is something that, close range, would be more deadly than a slug.
Their only weakness is that they don't penetrate much like rifle rounds on hard materials but, unless people will come at you wearing steel plates, they will get mashed up really good with just blunt force alone.
Hell they take down thick wild boars with ease.
If you're really paranoid go for heavy, magnum slugs.
Remember two things tho: a shotgun can be loaded with various ammo in the same magazine/tube.
And shotgun ammo can be a combo of both slug and some buckshot pellets in the same cartridge.
>>33928098
Awesome, thank you so much for the amazing answer, anon.
I just figure if they are stupid enough to break into my house, they should have to deal with the consequences.
>>33928103
I do suggest to practice some tho. Shotgun's recoil is kinda heavy compared with other guns, even with bottom weight loads.
Try to have a feel for slugs, but don't discard buckshot loads. I do keep stacked some #4 buck before slugs; you want to be sure to hit something because even the most powerful round if missing targets, causes zero harm.
Does this Gun actually just suck? Literally every WW2 Pistol in the German's Arsenal had a better Muzzle Velocity and Foot Pounds. Diameter and Penetration don't exactly seem useful in the cases of that War in regards to the 1911, either. I mean, it set the standard for Future Handguns, and all. But it in of itself seems like garbage.
>>33927780
wars aren't won with pistols

>penetration doesn't exactly seem useful
You wanna know how I know you're full of shit?

That is true, but still.

Think about where you consume your news OP. Make better choices.

Its not silent. It makes a pinging noise.
Evening Gents.
Thinking about picking up a Colt 6940 in exchange for my CSA Vz.58 sporter carbine. what say you guys?
Rifle is set up like pic related.
No you fucking retard. Whoever is trying to convince you that's a good deal is trying to fuck you over.
Absolutely not. Vz.58 is a much better rifle.
>>33927695
If it's set up like that, do you realize that's an SBR? Or is the barrel longer than pic related.
Why don't we be smart and use highly mobile quick firing air transportable mortar tankettes like the Germans? A squad of these can follow the troops, lay quick 120mm cover fire on the enemy, carry supplies and ammo for the troops, and retreat with 70 km/h to the base.
you are like a little baby
>>33927650
Great idea
>>33927650
If quick-moving artillery is your thing, do talk to the russians. Germans overengineer everything. Russian rocket artillery spotted by man-launches drones will fuck your shit up any day of the week
I live in Los Angeles in a ghetto neighborhood, I am here momentarily as it's close to the hospital I am doing my Residency in.
While I was taking a shit, I hear someone walking in the back alley, very few people walk through that alley, and it's mostly Nurses and Doctors who live in that area.
I heard the footsteps stop right next to my Window, I get curious and peek outside, I see this bald headed short dark skinned, head to toe tattooed up MS13 looking guy. He's taking pictures of my kitchen window which is an incredibly easy target to break into, and to top it off, the Hospital doesn't let me install bars on that window.
So I quickly wipe my ass, put on my gunbelt, and run outside looking for this guy to confront him about what just happened, (my gun is covered by my t shirt), when I find him, I tell him.
>why are you taking pictures of the window
>"I wasn't mainn wtf u crazy pinche gringo"
>Bullshit I saw you
>Takes off running, gets into a car with a bunch of other beaners and takes off
The people that used to live here before, were broken into, and the woman raped and guy beat up. I do have an ADT alarm system installed, and a gun next to my bed, so I'm not terribly worried, but what are the chances this vato and his family members come back?
I didn't call the police seeing as how I didn't get a good glimpse at any tattoo and all the beaners in this area all look alike, it was dark as well, I wouldn't have been able to pick him out of a line.
Had he attacked me, and I would have shot him, would I have been the focus matter, of American media?
>>33927625
>Had he attacked me, and I would have shot him, would I have been the focus matter, of American media?
No because a tatted up beaner is worth as much as a clean cut white dude in the eyes of the media. There would be no circus, no SJWs in the streets, no nothing.
>>33927692
It's Downtown LA man. I can't recall the last time a white person has ever shot a beaner that wasn't a cop.
Haven't you heard of all the La Raza movement going on? Shits spreading like wildfire. Shit definitely could and would end up at least on LA local news. And liberal judge and mexican jury would definitely go "GUILTY GRINGO!!!" with all the anti-white hate.
>>33927712
Yeah, the mexicans would get salty, but to the Democrats, we're letting them invade so it's all good. If you'd have shot a black, then you'd be in trouble. It wasn't a cholo getting shot that started the LA Riots.

Anons, I am not that familiar with weapons, got a question for you. Why was PPSH-41 removed from Soviet arsenal and for what reasons?
Would it be practical to have in 2017 a gun similar to PPSH-41? If no, why not?
Because the soviets saw the utility of a common weapon to replace SMGs and Rifles, the AK.
>Would it be practical to have in 2017 a gun similar to PPSH-41? If no, why not?
Not in the slightest. The Russians have in recent years moved back to the SMG somewhat, but now they have the Bizon and Vityaz in its place. People focus on the drum, but in truth they were mostly used with stick mags and the drums were never particularly reliable. In US hands one example saw use in Fallujah, but that had merit because the only alternative was a full length M16, which is a bit long for tight urban fighting.
>>33927572
Thank you.
Would some modern upgraded form of PPSH be useful in urban combat today or would it be foolish? Could you elaborate on drum part, why is it not reliable? From what I have been able to read, Soviet soldiers loved PPSH-41 in WW2.
>>33927572
wow really use at fallujah? thats very interesting, i assume it was picked up off of some insurgent and used? whats the US mils attitude to use/adoption of non-standard issue weapons? i would of imagined theyd be firmly against it
Alright /k/. What about this for a short series or something for Netflix, or an anime/manga or whatever the fuck.
Guy "Or you" gets transported to medieval Europe or Feudal Japan or some shit, WITH his EDC. He then goes through a chain of events learning forms of combat based on where he is but has his gun for "OH SHIT" moments or when he needs to show that he is a god.
What do you think? Make for an interesting story/show? As I was writing this, I realized it's VERY similar to Army of Darkness but think less hokey.
"though Army of Darkness is my literal favorite movie"
TL:DR Transported back in time, EDC Pistol only for super OH SHIT moments whilst learning combat of the time as a show/book.
you have limited ammunition and only a pistol.
If they don't outright kill you for looking and talking strange, you really serve no purpose outside of shooting a few mags worth at 7-20 feet.
You better have good knowledge of history or some solid knowledge of how technology/techniques of various industries developed and dish that shit out and get yourself into a good position with the leadership as you cut a few hundred years of development off of the nation you're "advising".
>>33927390
Let's give it a fictional aspect of something like 47 Ronin.
Someone is willing to train you, whether it's a company of warriors, or just an outcast who knows you're something special because plot armor.
What kind of things could ensue?
>>33927408
Not much, if we are talking an edc that would range from 380 to 357, with anyone who has the 380 / 38special / 5.7 / 45acp being completely useless because those rounds would struggle to break through plate armor or do much more than break apart chainmail and the guys with 357 / 10mm / 454 casul / 460 rowland being slightly better off by simply being able to kill people in chain mail and seriously dent or penetrate plate armor, but they would have like tops 12-15 shots on them so very quickly they would be useless.
tl ; dr you are vastly overestimating the potential of edc pistols and underestimating the defensive strength of medieval armors. Rifles were the guns that took out armor, not pistols.

It's ridiculous all around. Some guy posted his story on lebdit and people called bullshit, and he finally upvoted that video to prove it happened a couple of minutes go
its the most ridiculous robbery i've ever seen right out of a slapstick comedy at least nobody got shot

Hey guys, pic related is me and my new Remington 870.
What do you think is a good secondary weapon to go with it, particularly for mid-range combat?
>>33927203
McDonalds brand Biggest Mac in .357 omnom.
Suppressed G3 or FAL SBR.
Got to get some of that velocity back somehow.
Who's the guy in the pic, and where did he touch you, OP?
This thread is for the partisans, who fought to keep their homelands free.
I'd like to focus on the anti communist partisans that kept the fight going until the mid fifties.
For example the "Forest Brothers" of lithuania.

The Yugoslav chetnicks were anti everyone at one point or another.
Posing with (periodic) German allies.
Do we have any doccumented instances of this literal nigger blaster being used in murders, hold ups etc yet? Who else would possibly buy this!?
Probably...nigs gon' nog
>>33927091
I dunno man. It goes bang and it's cheap as fuck. You could buy a ton and just have them everywhere. In the bathroom, under your bed, in the pickup, in the fridge. Fuck just get a 12 pack and hand 'em out at Halloween. Guns for everyone!
I really honestly want to defend these shitty saturday night special companies with broad statements about how the 2nd amendment guarantees the right to bear arms even to people who can't afford expensive ones.
Hi-Point is making that very hard though, since there's an obvious target demographic for this Benjamin'd problem solver.
