What is your opinion on the Venezuelan military?
Soldiers fight on their stomachs, Venezuela is starving. The National Guard steals and controls a lot of the food. No clue if the entire military is in on it though. But regardless I doubt they could even put down the gangs in Venezuela under any circumstance.
>They think they are a real pain in the ass for the US
>Believe their starvation is product of economical war.
>argue that they can stand an US invasion ith their ruski surplus equipment.
>People join the military cuz food
>not able to use real ammo on training.
yeah... the next rhodisians
>>33751789
Shit, like the whole government there.
Hey /K/ I just joined the US Army this month and I ship out to basic this June and I was wondering what should i expect from Basic training. Tell me some of your basic training stories
>>33751752
Ha ha get fucked. Read a book boot.
>>33751752
Congrats. I just got out of the Army. Say "Roger, Drill Sergeant," "No, Drill Sergeant," act like an adult and have fun. It's super easy if you treat it like a game and play well. Good luck, anon
>>33751752
Why didn't you join the marines you pussy? What'chu score less than a 45 on the asvab?

I've been thinking of purchasing a P90 and a suppressor. I have never purchased a gun before. Is this a good starting weapon? Is there anything I should be concerned about?
>Is there anything I should be concerned about?
Ammo is a bit pricey(less so since American Eagle started producing 5.7), as is the gun itself. It's definitely a neat little gun though, I'll say that much.
Just go back to cowadooty faggot
Or you known research even a little about guns before showing everyone here how stupid you are
P90 ammo 5.7 relies on velocity, suppressing supersonic ammo is still fucking loud. Subsonic 5.7 would essentially be really expensive 22
The few advantages of P90s aren't realized in the civilian model:
>small
With 16 inch barrel P90 is too fucking big for elite oper8tor shit
>controllable on full auto
Obviously doesn't apply
It's basically a meme gun also the trigger sucks dick
>>33751701
Sorry for asking questions. I'll just go, now.
:'(
Ok /k,
I'm bored and have time to waste. Let's talk about something nice maybe we can learn something.
MAKING YOUR OWN 12 GAUGE SHOTSHELLS
Shotshells are one of the most common ammo you can find, especially in 12 gauge. But it's not so common to self load shotshells, and because I'm not going to beat around the bush: it's not economical nor practical to load your own ammo, unless making slug shells.
Let's start with some basics first.
>>33751616
You really would never be able to reload bird shot cheap enough to Make it worth it, but honestly any other kind load you would save money handloading if done right.
First of all, shotshells are different from other kind of ammo because a big part of the "case" is a hull made of plastic or, rarely, cardboard.
While shotshell hulls made of brass do exist, they are almost a novelty and, to be honest, I never saw one.
Since shotguns have very low normal operating pressures compared to other guns, the cartridge itself is only partly made of metal (usually brass plated steel), in the bottom where the extractors work and need a secure grip.
That also spawned a number of loadings that sport various lenghts of this metal part and shooters usually categorize "low brass" shells as low power, low charge rounds and "high brass" shells as high power, heavy weight shots.
While this isn't technically wrong, because high brass shells are used in high power shots to avoid any spent shell sticking in the chamber, it's not universally a rule as even lightest, 7/8 oz. trap loadings can be into high brass hulls to have a "premium" feel and appearance.
Also the big difference between shotshells and other kind of ammo (pistol, rifle) is that they are primarily designed to hold a charge composed of a number of lead pellets instead of a shaped, aerodynamic bullet. Thus, loading them is vastly different, notably the way the shell itself is "closed" into a finished package of propellant and lead charge.
>>33751799
Eh.... it's pretty close...
I might have to run some math out on this... I mean you can get a lot of bbs for cheap on amazon...
So I sold my 870 becuase it was a total pile of shit that failed to run low brass 60% of the time.
Would an old 870 be better quality? how are mossberg 500's?
Should I say fuck it and look for a Winchester 1300?
I'd rather have my shotgun with no plastic trigger guards and such
>>33751542
failing to run low brass on a pump action shotgun sounds like user error to me. especially since I've put about 500 rounds through my NEW express without issue.

Can't go wrong with the Winchester 1200/1300. Underrated as fuck shotguns.
/k/ what was the cheapest price you have purchased a firearm
mine is a $15 General Precision corp .22 revolver haven't shot it yet kinda scared
Pic related somewhat camera broke
>>33751535
i got a Saturday night special from a neighbor for $5. you should be okay firing that .22, it's not that high pressure of a round.
>>33751535
picked up 6 nuggets for $90 each in 2014
Recently saw one of his videos in which he said the Glock 22 was not made explicitly for the .40S&W but was a slightly modified G17. Is he full of s***? As you like to say here, what did he mean by this?
There are so many G22s available used now that I was thinking of getting a Gen3 for laughs.
>>33751455
I really like The Yankee Marshal. What's cool too is that he lives in Washington and I see him on the Northwest Firearms board all the time.
>>33751455
He is correct.
The G22 is the entire genesis of the Glocknade meme.
Sup /k/, my father recently passed and with that he left me some guns behind. I've never been into guns but with my father passing it's the last thing I have to remember him by and what he loved doing. You guys have always been good to me in the past and was hoping you could tell me what ammo these would take.
>>33751487
308 and 7.62x51
>>33751448
Going to need the words stamped on the side of the barrel.
>>33751448
That's a nice Remington 700. It'll have the caliber marked on the barrel
Please comfort me /k/.
So a little back story, I live on a small farm, (10 acres) and I basically can shoot whenever. So today, I set my targets up on my shitty makeshift range, made sure it was clear. I was shooting down hill and into nothing but 300 ft of dirt. So I'm plinking away with my WASR, just firing every few shots and adjusting the sight as necessary. Suddenly, a white pick up truck pull into my driveway and a neighbor gets out and tells me that bullets are flying past his house. I profusely apologize and ask if any one is hurt/ any damage. Then immediately pack up and stop for the day once he leaves.
Here's what troubles me. The neighbor lives almost a half a mile away( I know rounds can fly farther) and I was shooting into nothing but dirt, downhill. So how the hell did rounds ricochet upwards over his house?
>mfw I'm still worried something bad happened and I might lose my funs
>>33751183
Caliber? also set up a proper bullet catcher
>>33751183
Are you shooting into a berm or just flat dirt?
>>33751183
Maybe he heard the gun shots and wanted it to stop
I need a rifle for patrol
it needs to be DI and these brands only (because who the fuck knows)
>colt
>armalite
>rock river
>bushmasters
>Smith and wesson
>stag arms
What models and what kind of setups should I look at. It will be mostly for felony traffic stops
>>33751117

>he follows gun rules

Why do people keep posting this video? Is this some reverse psychology thing to make it popular? I clicked through the video and didn't notice any flagrant safety violations. Yeah they probably sweep eachother once or twice across the ten minute video but I've had people sweep me on the range before and I didn't make multiple threads on /k/ ranting about it. What they do out there alone is their business.
at first I cringed every time they swept each other, but eventually I just started hoping they'd kill each other.
5.56x45 doesn't have enough stopping power.
>but the military uses it
Only because it is issued to them by a bunch of POG procurement officers. If anything else were issued to them, they'd use that instead.
5.56 would stop your stupid ass, I guarantee it.
>>33750795
Let me shoot you with it and see if it stops you, you fucking idiot.
Yes, it will get through your 20 inches of fat.
>>33750808
>>33750817
22 LR would also kill me. Does that mean 22 LR is a viable rifle round?
Should I into a Ka-bar, or the Ka-bar serrated?
>>33750745
Definitely not serrated. What do you want it for? To use or for larping?
Serrated is sharper.
>>33750801
Just self-defense, I live in the Bronx and I need it because guns are illegal here.
>>33750809
Now much sharper?
Hey /k/ just curious, what gun is this? Almost looks handmade.
>>33750543
FAMAS
>>33750583
Do most people here think negatively of the FAMAS?
>>33750599
it's a meme you dip. any time someone has trouble IDing a gun, it's by default a famas. also, you should punch yourself in the dick for making that shoddy, butt-fuck of a weapon.
