Go on a mad rampage through the nearest village, continue until radio contact is reestablished then deny it ever happened.

SOP for a tank losing contact is to rampage in the nearest population center until all munitions are expended. Then try to regain contact.

Why does the Canadian Air force like it's f-18 so much when it's a navy aircraft and we don't have a carrier?
Canada is getting Super Hornets since the F-35 is a pile of dogshit. Some crank wants to bring back the Arrow, kek.
Why is Canada not looking to the Typhoon? it meets pretty much all of the Canadian forces requirements, and out preforms the Super Hornet

Live in communist America. Moving to the land of the free in AZ soon. Was looking at getting a rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm and am not sure what to grab.
I'm not shooting targets at 2km at sub moa, I'm not looking to drop a fucking grand on a POS because dur hur looks like AK.
What is a DECENT quality 7.62x39mm rifle that doesn't punch a hole in my wallet? Type 56 fags gtfo immediately.

Would a faster explosive work as a propellent? RDX has a detonation velocity 8,750 m/s vs 171–631 m/s of modern propellants. That's 13.9 times as fast. It would also be lighter and shorter as high explosive has a higher energy density to "gunpowder". The cons would be that the cartridge would be expensive and needs electricity to function. The gun itself would need a much stronger chamber and radically different bolt carrier system with a form of recoil reduction. In conclusion it would be sweet as fuck to have a 9mm with 18611j.

OP, I think there's a certain limit before the projectile you're firing is shredded into dust.

>>33774081
Chamber pressures would be significantly higher. It just isn't practical in rifle sizes.

Gunpowder is cheap as fug, easy as fuck to set off, wouldnt need specialized cases, etc.

With only one or two escorting subs, the only option for the CSG would be to pick a gap or opening and run for it at high speed, using choppers to screen the way ahead and long range naval patrol craft to pick off any subs following at high speed (loud enough for long range sonobuoy detection and unable to spend much time moving slow enough for effective sonar use). They'd have to sustain 25 knots+ for a long endurance run. Better hope the Burkes and Tico are fueled up.

The box says non-corrosive, but from some people on forums have reported that hey are corrosive. These posts were all made in 2013. Has the ammunition changed?

Unavoidable, my ass. It's just Trump saber rattling to try and salvage his abysmal approval numbers.

If he dose nothing after all the threats, he will look weak, and his approval rating will sink further. His approval might improve if he does attack. The Syrian missile attack already gave him a taste of that.

What was your first gun that you ever bought? Why did you buy it?
Pic related, Good all around gun, used to shoot a lot of clay and it was great for it.... didn't know that Remington kinda went down the tubes till I had it for a while and always had trouble with it rusting.

I wouldn't say you were being a sperg.
I've gone to the Hite Hollow range many times and have seen only a few ignorant individuals who hadn't bothered to read the "Safety Instructions" at the range.
Instead of raging at them, it is usually more constructive to politely remind them of the safety rules. It helps reinforce them rather than put them off from shooting. Almost 95% of the time it is because they simply don't know the rules.
>>
>>33773592
But anon, how do you not rage when somebody, even a child, points a gun in your general direction? I don't doubt that fudd Jr. wasn't pointing AT me but still, I don't want to take any chances. Bullets hurt. A lot.
>>
>>33773632
Because if someone wanted to shoot you dead, they'd do it while you are at the bench focusing at your target. Point blank range has a much higher hit probability than at the end of the 100 yard range.
If someone sweeps me, I'll likely give them a funny look, but I typically don't care what they're doing as long as they keep their shit to themselves.
Researching the best choice for a 5.56 defensive cartridge I found most recommend barrier blind rounds that don't fragment. It seems that a trade off exists between barrier penetration and effectiveness, but assuming you are only hitting unarmoured targets at the required velocities, wouldn't the fragmenting M193 style bullet be desired? I'd choose increased lethality normally over increased lethality in the slim chance I shoot them behind a barrier.

Yes, that was the original concept. The xm193 would destroy soft tissue, but could not penetrate barriers well. As we moved to shorter barrels and longer engagment ranges we created a new projectile, the m855. The m855 is 62gr vs. 55gr and has a mild steel core. The weight allows it to carry more energy for longer distances, at the trade off of doing less damage to soft tissue, but you do get greater barrier penetration as well.
>>
M193 is good all around. Reliable fragmentation with a 14.5 out to 100 yards and will break up after going through 1-2 house drywall with insulation.
75-77 grain otm and tmk do the same in regard to the wall, but have they're effective fragmentation range out to around 300 or so due to the bullet design.
Barrier blind loads, mainly soft points give good expansion and good penetration through barriers like walls, auto glass and light metal.
Either is fine, just be aware that if thsee are being used indoors, the barrier blind has a higher chance of passing through more walls.
so what is your summer concealed carry /k/? do you forgo the fullsize gun and carry a pocket pistol? what does /k/ think of the "fishermans vest"? viable? or do you just look autistic?
