Russia isn't the only country using 5.45. Romania, Bulgaria, and the former E. Germany have used that caliber. Poland isn't the only country that makes 5.56 AKs, China and former Yugoslavia have also build them. As for the majority of countries that still use 7.62x39, it's pretty much a matter of they don't have the funding to retool their manufacturing process along with the fact that 7.62x39 works for what they need it for so they don't see any need to switch over.

Slightly related. I'm looking to bulk order some 7.62x39s and am looking for a decent, somewhat accurate round for a decent price (no Tulashit). Somewhere around 1,000 rounds per $200. Currently looking at Pic related for $200 + 20 shipping. What do /k/

>>33747452
5.45 is superior to 7.62

>>33747315
Accurate mag will allow for the longest coal of the bunch and is a good mag.
AICS is a known standard, and you'll pay for it, but theyll work as intended.
Magpul is obviously cheaper, but they have thicker dimensions since they use polymer and not metal. As a result you have a much shorter coal for reloading purposes, and if my memory is correct its right at SAAMI spec and not much more.

If you're not loading ammo yourself then pick up the magpul and save some money, but if you are going to reload then take your pick from aics or accurate mag

>>33747445
The difference between AICS and Accurate Mag is $10 (or $30 for the three I intend to buy, which is effectively nothing given they'll be used for a loooong time and can be used on other rifles).

Which would recommend between the two?

like shit lad.

>>33747295
Not too good
The design was pretty good for trench warfare though

>>33747295
Not great. The wide rim of the Mk. III and IV was an artifact of WWI. The reason the Brodie looked the way it did was simple: it didn't protect against bullets it protected against shrapnel and debris from artillery. When you're in a trench that about the only thing that can kill you.

Problem is when the world moved to WWII and mobilization became more necessary for victory trench warfare and Brodie style helmets became obsolete. That in addition to the fact that as more SMGs entered the field the amount of rounds stopped by helmets increased dramatically.

Although realistically helmets aren't worn to stop bullets. They're worn to stop head injury. Same reason they're worn on a construction site. The Mk. III and IV just don't do that as well as the stahlhelm or M1. Not to mention the fact they're a liability to those around you. I mean hell ask a couple hundred thousand men to walk around with a half meter disc on their head and there's going to be problems.

Getting old, needed new pistols.

Design was dated, hence not a new contract.

Heavy
Too big for manlet hands

I am building a Serb M70 AKM right now, because i just find that culture so damn interesting. Serb girls are cute as well

>>33746746

Because the white population was small, and had plentiful resources, with no major motive to expand,
and because the natives massively outnumbered them.

In 1622, natives killed a third of the entire white population of Virginia.
Which amounted to about 400 people.

Because generally when you march a couple thousand people into an environment that they've never fought in before to kill off the people who have lived their entire life in that area with the assumption that it will really easy because they're brown and act kinda funny, you are probably going to get your shit pushed in.

>>33746791
Exactly, demonstrated today in the demographics of the United States, where the primary population is Native and they hold the power.

Yes, you can't even wiggle it at all when it is locked in position.

Yeah, it's solid, now if only it didn't cost almost as much as the rifle

>>33746673
Yes, all you need is a B10M or B10U with the B33 dust cover and you gucci.

>>33746611
Lol, I got the exact same knife when I was into edgy shit knives. I think it might have even been the first one I got. It was like 8 bux on amazon.

>>33746624
I got this one when I was like 17 or some shit, I'm 24 now but I'm just embarrassed that I paid money for it. I don't know why I still have it, like I just don't want to throw it out because it's basically brand new. I just simply have better knives and don't want to use that one, frankly I'd give it away for free to someone if I had a friend or somebody who wanted it.

the real question is, would you give your other nut for 2000 rounds of its ammunition?

I don't actually have a better pic than this. Full Tapco, aftermarket mags, scope mount receiver cover.

It actually was really accurate like this, not the best scope mount but easy to shoot and grouped pretty nicely for being what I imagine was a $15 scope mount out of a Budk type magazine

Anyone else rescue guns from bubba?

Found this M1 carbine at a gun show, replaced stock, sling, and springs

They were used in the Donbass airport siege by the Ukrainians, which was only like two years ago.

"how useful is this thing that shoots lots of bullets?"

what the hell kind of question is that

>>33746262
Generally my point was, that although it's a very "obsolete" weapon, that doesn't seem to matter all too much.

What are you asking, exactly?

From what I can tell, all you did was create a thread for no reason.

I'm arguing that 5.56 mm is not a viable rifle caliber.
