Question /k/
At what point does a bullet stop being a bullet and turn into an artillery round?
Pic related.
>>33955087
Technically speaking, a bullet is any projectile fired from a gun, or at least designed to be.
Generally artillery and cannons are considered such when calibers are in excess of an inch or so. Exception are grenade launchers, which sort of get their own class.
>>33955087
20mm
>>33955087
Generally, under 50BMG is small arms. 50 to 14.5mm is heavy machine guns, 20mm to 40mm is autocannon usually, but can include some slightly larger rounds. Bigger becomes artillery.
I get there being AK fanboys. There's a mythos around the rifle itself.
Why are there AK haters? There's nothing to hate about it. It's a machine with moving parts, it can jam. But most would agree that it takes more to jam it than nearly any other gun and less work to unjam it in the event of a fouling
There are haters anywhere there are fanboys. The more obnoxious the fanboys, the stronger the hate. Just look at the Glock and katana crowds.
the AK haters are just fanboys of something else.
>>33955077
Haters are people who have never used a arsenal AK before, really fun gun
Pic is of range day at 65 yards. A 44. S&W 626, Arsenal AK, and ruger takedown. Ak is by far my favorite.

Alright /k/, I know you fanboys love to argue.
I seek civil discourse, not autistic rage and shit flinging, but with that being said I do know where I am.
The question is, why would you buy a modern production 1911 over a more modern design? Glock, M&P, VP9, CZ-75, Browning Hi-Power. Basically anything double-stack. For this hypothetical, the 1911 in question must cost $1,000 or less.
Hard mode:
Leave personal preference and anecdotal evidence aside. Such examples:
>It fits better in my hand
>It looks nicer
>It's more accurate
Does the 1911 have any concrete advantages? I understand that some people just like them better, and that doesn't affect me in any way. i'm just wondering if there's any other reason why every giant gun company is still pumping them out en mass.
>muh glawk
FUCK off the 1911 is literally the pinaccle of hand gun achievement
.460 Rowland and .45 Super conversions work better with 1911s.
Better triggers than any other gun under $1000.
Ten round mag cap states make a 1911 in 10mm or some fuckoff powerful wildcat .45 round a reasonable option, just like they do eight shot revolvers.
>>33954974
Okay, tell me why.
>>33954985
I think triggers have to compete in their own category. It seems unfair to compare a D/S hammer trigger or SA striker trigger to a SAO hammer trigger,
?
>>33954680
no. whats up?

Is the romance over, or do you still love me, /k/?
>>33954588
You may be old, dinged up and Chinese. But at least you don't have an import stamp like all those other inked up sluts. You may sit in the back of my safe a lot now that I have better rifles. But i still love you
I love you very much my dear

Sorry...
What kind of situation will a defensive fighting foxhole be tactically viable in a modern warfare context?

The kind where someone is firing rounds at your face.

Sup /k/, just turned 18 a few months ago and I'm interested in buying my first gun. Only problem is I live in California, so hand guns are off the table and everything else this shit state has banned. Any recommendations for my first buy?
>>33954321
why are handguns off the table?
>>33954321
Let your choice of gun be tailored to its intended purpose? Do you want to shoot for fun affordably? Then get a rifle in 22 LR. Do you want to hunt? Then get a Winchester model 70. Do you want to defend your home? Then get a shotgun.
>>33954350
You have to be 21 to buy them here

> the Vietnam war was fought without any kind of conventional body armor
body armor is useless 90% of the time anyway. Especially in Nam where battles were often close-up and direct.
Body armor would have done real good in WW1 where the majority of deaths were from shrapnel wounds
Didn't they have flak vests and helmets? Those count as body armor, don't they?
>>33956639
Yeah, but they weren't conventional by modern standards
Let's face it: mag-fed pistols are superior to revolvers. Period. The one and only argument wheel-guns used to have was reliability. Now it's absolutely clear that magazine semi-auto pistols are generally just as reliable as any revolver can be.
So what is so romantic about owning and shooting a revolver?
theyre good range toys because manipulating guns is fun

I rescued this VC Schilling commission Kar 88 (S marked) today from an auction. It's rusted pretty bad but I saw something that still resembled rifling in the bore, so she might be salvageable. Im thinking 0000 steel wool for the exterior. Any advice, /k/?
>>33953765
lots of hoppes and 100% brass wool
>>33953791
What about for the bore? Just the usual patch?
>>33953765
100% copper wool, 0000 steel is for oldfags that think its 1967 still.
use copious amounts of gun oil with that copper wool too.
for the bore let it soak with either oil or solvents, and then use brush a few times, then patches until they come out clean, and then brush again etc, until its clean
good find anon, how much it cost you?
Hey /k/, where do you leave your ccw when in the bathroom, I leave mine on my undies so it's easy to get at and I won't forget it when standing up.
