What does /k/ think of these? Any practical uses or just a toy? Any good ways to weaponize them?

What would a plain-clothes operator in the Star Wars universe look like?

I ask because I want to HAHACOSPLAYHAHA at a convention with this grill I know and I liked the look of the soldiers in Rogue One (as well as the commandos in ROTJ) and I started thinking about wanting to dress as one of them and have some fun. After more consideration, I thought about how since I'd be around a decent amount of people at the convention I can sort of "mix in" and go somewhat minimal, but still tied into the Star Wars look.

Thoughts? Also, IT AIN'T ME Star Wars Edition was okay.

Post compact handguns.

Recently I bought a new Glock 19. Just got back from shooting it at the range with a buddy of mine. We each put around 50 rounds through it.

I had no problems (he said he saw it jam on me, but I think I would have noticed that). On the other hand, he experienced failure after failure. We are both new to handguns so I can't diagnose them, but the tap-and-rack method solved each problem.

I suspect he was just limp wristing it. Do you think this was the case? This also got me thinking... if a grown, in-shape 48 year old man can have problems limp wristing at the range, what about high-stress self defense situations? I didn't have any problems but I imagine I might be less cognizant of my grip in a life or death scenario.

Also I was shooting 12" groups slow fire at 25 yards slow fire, 24" groups rapid fire. Factory sights. How'd I do?

Tommorow I'm planning on taking public transit to a range in the middle of the city. It's not the best range but it's open on easter and tommorow is my only day off and I want to go shooting dammit.

I plan on putting my .22 and my Glock in my guitar case. It all fits perfeclty in there with the ammo and targets. The only other range bag I have is a big heavy paratrooper bag that says "weapons case" in big loud letters on it (I fucking love that thing but its' heavy as shit)

Anyways I know what I'm doing is 100% legal (carrying on public transit is "suggested against" but not illegal, and I have a permit to carry concealed so w/e) but I do kind of feel weird walking into the range with a guitar case. Anyone else done this before?

I could save myself the embarrassment and just drive but fuck that driving in the city is a fucking nightmare and I want to have a relaxing day off.

What kind of weird unconventional ways do you carry your guns if you don't want something that says "I'm a tacticool faggot with a gun look at me right here"?

Question for /k/ommandos with collections of decent size - what do you think about the adage that your possessions can come to own you?

Do you guys ever start to feel bogged down by the volume of your gun collection, and your possessions in general? Lately I've been wanting to pare down my arsenal to 3 or 4 guns that I frequently use, and pass the rest on.

I was thinking about making my own mace/pepper spray. Obviously I cannot legally buy it in my country

If I buy reaper chilli powder (hottest chilli in the world) mix it with water and put it in a spray bottle, would that work?

Watched videos of people eating it and it looks very painful. Sprayed in the eyes I bet it can pack a punch

Any recommendations for mounting a flashlight to a shotgun, either pump or semi?

For the sake of argument, let's say that there are no 1913 rails on the pump gun. Best thing I have found is this, though I have no first hand experience. Seems to be a little better than the stuff that just clamps onto the barrel/magazine.

What's your favorite military-related aesthetics?
Mine would have to be the early-war uber-authoritarian military of the Germans.

So I had a thought. How well would bullets, as well as slugs be if they were made out of cork? Would they be effective for less lethal, like rubber bullets? Tried looking it up, but I can't find shit about it anywhere else.

Any one else try this?
