What's the point in upgrading new tanks when the new ones are inferior to the Chinese exported tanks? It's a big waste of money. They should've just bought Chinese.

Also this new tank seems inferior to Arjun II and more expensive too. Only Russia is buying them to keep UVZ afloat.

Greetings /k/. I'm new to the gun ownership world. I come from California and am looking for a fantastic long range rifle I can use for hunting and "defense of the homeland" situations. A semiautomatic is out of the question at this moment because of the political situation here, and we can't hunt here with semiautomatic rifles anyways, so I'm essentially stuck with a colt action rifle for this task until I move out of state in a few years.

TL;DR
>What's a good long range bolt action rifle for hunting and '''tactical''' situations, available in a common caliber? (nothing exotic like .338 Lapua or .408 Cheytac, I have to actually be able to find the ammo, and preferably not at $90 a box)

>In Russian Federation, rifle license is only available after 5 years on shotgun license
>someone gets idea to convert 7.62mm rifles to "shotguns"
>basically a smooth bore 9.6mm barrel with a fixed rifled "choke" at the end
>make gun fire a .36 caliber "shotgun shell", which in practice is a .36 caliber rifle cartridge, like literally a 7.62x39mm case necked up to 9.6mm
>generally somewhere between 170 and 230 grain projectiles with about 2000 to 2300 feet per second, all with nominal rifle accuracy
>all of this is legally a shotgun
>the cartridge is legally a shotgun shell, meaning it's legal for you to reload and handload (unlike rifle cartridges, for whatever reason)
>the .366TKM cartridge is a massive commercial success in Russia, people are converting old milsurp and building brand new AKs in this cartridge
>the cartridge being a shotgun shell means you can reload it, and the handloading market in Russia grows explosively, the cartridge is easy to handload and 7.62x39mm casings are easy to convert

So not only this a rifle available on the basic bitch smoothbore license, meaning people who needed a rifle but couldn't get one don't need to wait half a decade, but it's largely been proven to be economical and functional and has rejuvenated the Russian firearms market (those sanctions took their toll on their industry) and brought about a revolution of recreational shooting and utility in firearms. Supposedly people have had no issue taking moose with these .36 caliber rifles at a few hundred feet, so it can very well do it's job as the average man's general purpose rifle.

I love it when people find functional ways around silly laws.

Currenlty in Texas looking to buy a pistol. Reading up on the gun laws in Hawaii it almost seems like I might have an easier time just buying a rifle rather than a pistol.

Any Hawaii anons that have a handgun or have a good idea of what handguns/hangun features are illegal there?

I'm trying to buy a 9mm while I'm still here in good ol' texas that won't get confiscated by the luau police.

Can I get anything bigger than pic related?

How do you carry a weapon responsibly when you don't have a lot of experience with weapons, fighting and training? Is there a certain amount of experience you need to have before you can carry responsibly? or do you just have to be mindful of your lack of experience and not get yourself into situations you can't handle.

I never even shot a gun until I was 25 years old, and that was two years ago. At the moment there are no ranges in my area that let me practice things like drawing from the holster or moving and shooting, I havent found any non BS training instructors who teach that type of stuff without charging an arm and a leg, so all I can really do is practice dry fire and drawing in my room and go to the range twice a month (which is all I can really manage with my schedule) I try to work on a combination of aimed shots, going from low ready position to firing, and double tap drills, but again I never feel like I'm getting enough training in the department of drawing quickly. How can I work on that without access to a shot timer and a range that lets me draw from the holster?

Alright /k/ give me the skinny on black powder revolvers. Good idea for someone who can't purchase a pistol or demonstrably bad idea? Moreover post 1851 Navy pics, they give me a half chub.

Name a gun released between 1970 and 1999 and I will try and find first impressions and professional reviews and comparisons in my stack of Guns & Ammo magazines. I don't have every issue. Maybe half. Ask away! Have not been able to find what month of 1981 the G17 was released but I think that's a good starting point.
