What's the difference between the two, really?
Seem to be the same fucking shit.
Functionally they are the same, and they are used for practically the same purpose.
The only difference is that PDWs were specifically designed to be able to defeat body armor. SMGs are just pistol caliber machine guns.
>>33843171
SMGs were getting outdated so the pet jews of gun-firms everywhere have to find a hip & new way of marketing them.
smg is shit like 9mm or 10mm
pdw is 4.6x30 and 5.7x28

This confuses the gun-grabbers.
Where's the buffer?
in the stock
>>33843046
Apparently it confuses some of us as well.
It's a custom rat tail buffer similar to a FAL or some semi auto shotguns.
If you have a question about a gun, ask it here and a /k/ommando may be able to help. If you see a question you might be able to answer, please do so. The more helpful you are, the better the thread will be.

Why are Hi-points so much better than anything Springfield Armory produces?
>>33842921
>Why are Hi-points so much better than anything Springfield Armory produces?
Because Hi-Point provides the valuable service of keeping Illinois' nigger population in check, while SA opposes the rights of white men there.

What pistol training did you do today?
Me? Well I imagined what it would be like if i had a gun for a solid 6 hours straight, curled in the fetal position in the space under the stairs. I like to use this as meditation.

Mexico will be the perfect cunt if we had american based gun laws

Just join up with a cartel or militia, mexibro. Hunt the most dangerous game.
Is there an expiration for ammunition? (mostly asking because I've been carrying some 3 year old Hornady Critical Duty) Does old ammunition have a higher tendency to cause malfunctions?
>>33842738
You kinda picked the one round that DOES have age issues. loading and unloading critical duty causes the hollow to crimp around the stupid plastic wad, and can cause failure to expand.
>>33842776
If that is the case, then what kind of rounds wouldn't have that kinds of problem yet? (I seem to only use hornady critical duty and thought you get what you pay for
Alright /k/ I have a question for you. You're a poor starving Venezuelan and you have to overthrow your communist dictatorship. You've been disarmed and you realize the riots will lead to nothing. How do you win? Weapons must come from household and industrial objects readily found in Venezuela. General guerrilla tactics are welcomed as well.

Hello /k/. Just watched the movie Fury and had a few questions. Especially pertaining to the German tanks. Long story short, were the tiger tanks really as powerful as the movie portrayed? I mean in the scene of pic related, the tank !internally eats like 3 Sherman hits one after another and keeps at it like nothing happened. Not to mention a single direct hit from the Tiger was enough to completely disable a Sherman American tank.
From my limited knowledge of tanks, I know the Sherman was almost a 4:1 ratio to tigers in terms of quantity and their only saving grace was their speed. Anyhow, I'd appreciate more info on this. Lastly, is the only weak spot on the tiger truly it's rear like in the movie? Or was that a movie trope so the heroes can win?
>>33842670
Its about as unrealistic as you can get dude. In general 1 good hit that gets into the fighting compartment means your tank is kaput. Tiger had a big gun with a big shell that could turn the insides of your tank into a mess.
Meanwhile the armor was impervious to short barelled shermans.
>>33842670
The side armor of the tiger is the exact same as it's back armor
Also the tiger has neutral steer, which means it could probably outturn that Sherman
Oh, and tank fights don't happen at point blank
>>33842670
Literally all of the Shermans depicted would defeat the tigers armor at that range, and that would be it for the fight.

Go be a faggot somewhere else.
I've decided that I want to buy myself a firearm soon around my 19th birthday since I'll be moving out of my parent's. They've always been very liberal and hated guns. I've only shot a few with my grandpa who had quite a few. I was thinking about starting off with a handgun and getting a rifle for hunting later. I'm not much of a gun nut, but I can handle maintenance.
Here is a guide.
>>33842658
Thanks
>>33842642
Start off on the right foot and get a SCAR17

Isn't there one in port still active because the Russian Navy lacks the ability to safely decommission it? It's still a piece of crap.
adding to this >>33842573
It's crazy to think just how MUCH filming they did to propagandize these recent deployments....like they knew it was a one time situation so they had to get as much out of it as possible.... what a truly sorry state the Russian military is in

"undergoing refit" since 1999
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-officers-shot-chicago-20170502-story.html
Speaking to reporters outside Stroger Hospital, police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said that the officers were sitting in a car when two other vehicles pulled up and their occupants opened fire at the officers. Those officers were able to return fire, but it doesn't appear they hit anyone.
Johnson said police are taking to "a few" people of interest in the shooting investigation.
"It's just another example of how dangerous this job is," said Johnson. "And I think people take it for granted that when police officers come to work every day, they put their lives on the line every single day they get in their car."
>>33842363
The attack occurred after the officers saw someone inside a silver van shooting at another vehicle, according to preliminary information from police.
A vehicle believed to have been used by the offenders was found near 37th street and Racine Avenue and either a rifle or shotgun was also recovered near the scene, according to a source citing preliminary information.

In February, the Chicago Tribune in a front-page article highlighted the gun violence in this part of the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The newspaper reported that more than 30 shootings believed to have been tied to semi-automatic rifles occurred there and in neighboring Brighton Park during a recent nine-month period.
At least 46 people were shot in those attacks, 13 fatally.
Police said at the time this was the only area of the city where rifles styled after AR-15s and AK-47s were regularly used, a menacing new development in the gang fights.
It's unclear how many of the high-powered rifles were used in the shootings, but police suspected they were being passed around by members of four Hispanic gangs in the Deering police district, which covers Back of the Yards and Brighton Park.
Two of the gangs — La Raza near 47th and Loomis streets and the Almighty Saints near 45th and Wood streets — have been fighting for decades. But the conflict has expanded to the Satan Disciples and Gangster Two-Sixes in neighboring Brighton Park, where violence is less frequent.

I've seen Anti air launches, and Russian anti air seem to be slower than the substandard American SAM launches. Has the Russian lost their technological edge? Chinese SAM systems fire faster than them and French SAM systems are more accurate. I think it would be better if they just buy Chinese.
>Has the Russian lost their technological edge?
you can't lose what you never had

Related to an earlier post I saw. What are some good camo patterns to get? I'm going for a military look, so no hunting camo.
Depends on what you want to get out of it
Old US Night camo is pretty aesthetic

Why don't cartridges have the shape of a pyramid instead of a cylinder/cone? It would make it easier to load them into magazines by hand because they won't slide off the previous bullet easily.
Because it would make the magazines huge and awkward as fuck.
Or make revolver cylinders huge and awkward as fuck.

It's way easier and more precise to drill holes, rather than squares.
