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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
