The OP literally could not stop sucking cocks. Also he came to realize that all that shit couldn't be made for $100.
Once upon a time I said that suddenly and abruptly his threads would disappear, the only remnants soft whispers from gullible fools.
Look how far we've come.

I really loved the old p90/Barret .50 PDW combo that somebody made.

Every other state is getting or debating constitutional carry, Texas just argues to assrape a little less. Fuck the shaft, fuck the tip, FUCK TEXAS
>>33454974
honestly? too many poor and dangerous minorities and white trash types in TX for constitutional carry, came thing in NM
>>33454985
Nice to see the statist fucksticks are up early.
>>33454974
Weapons charges bring alot of money in the Texas judicial system. They (police officers and DA) also like to steal guns and keep them or sell them. Too much money to be lost letting everyone open carry...
How does one 'get' a favorite gun? What makes you like a specific gun?
>>33454815
do you have a favorite way to fuck?
Personally, my favorite gun is almost any AK
It became my favorite after I seen my grandpa blast at some coyotes with his
>>33454815
1911 watch movies, read books, play games. Now that i had enough good boy points i feel accomplished
Is it worth buying?
did you just unironically say redpill?? we aren't fucking Nazis like you fuckheads we dont casually use fucking racial slurs like it's an every day part of conversation how fucking backwards can you be do you know how offensive that is to POC who post here no you didn't even think that's how brain dead you right wingers are you dont even think that anything you say is probably going to offend someone and guess what next time you offend a POC I hope they give you some of your own medicine and tear your skin off and beat you into a coma that would teach you to have some fucking respect for POC that work every fucking day to keep this country going and do nothing but try to live peacefully go fuck yourself stormweenie

Good morning, /k/. Well, kind of a shitty morning; I'm sick, but here's a free /k/-related book!
Living amongst the Dead
Free on Kindle/eReader from March 28-29
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7S2Z0R
It's a zombie survival novel with heavy focus on realism and survivalism. Feel free to give it a look-see. Also, a bit of actual shilling... below is a little novelette that I dedicated to /k/. You'll see it in the Dedication section. It's not for free, however it will be next month. Around April 26th or so I'll be doing a big promotion where my first four books are free (including Living amongst the Dead again), and I'll also have its recently-released sequel Living amongst the Dead: Dark Days going for a reduced price via Kindle Countdown. Instead of $2.99, it'll be brought down to $0.50 or $0.99. As for the original LatD above, after March 29th when it's no longer free, it will remain at its standard price of $0.99. Anyways, the book I dedicated to my fellow /k/ommandos...
Firearm Valhalla
Paperback: $4.99 USD
Kindle/eReader: $0.99 USD
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XK5P6QV
Like I said though, it'll be going for free in a month, so you can just wait until then if you like. I'll be sure to bring it up when the promotion is all set, but only 3 of my current 5 books are truly /k/-related so I'll probably only mention them. The other 2 DO mention firearms, even has a brief scene or two each that includes them, but it's not much. In fact the person in 1 of my books is a 100% complete noguns and the process of him learning how to work a Glock 23 while drunk is quite comical in my opinion, if it weren't so tragic at the same time. Even calls it a "Glock .40" at one point! Anyways, enjoy the free eReader, ya /k/unts! You fuckers are awesome. Especially you beautiful bastards who went above and beyond to actually buy some paperbacks. That was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise; I dearly hope you enjoyed them.

Shameless self-bump after over four dead hours. If you like to read words and things then get your free copy of Living amongst the Dead, /k/omrades! As for pic related, that's the little novelette that I mentioned which I dedicated to you fellows. Those firearms in the pic are ones that I actually owned before, and the picture itself was taken sometime around 5 years ago, if I had to guess? Maybe 6? I'll be putting it out for free for a while in a promotion in about a month's time, been thinking of perhaps making a little sequel that's equally drenched in gun porn, perhaps see if I can get some more character development on the go on the side, but the REAL star of Firearm Valhalla is the gun porn.

Bump for words
Been looking for something to read. I'll give the first a look. If I like it, I'll buy some of your shit, bruv.
>let's replace a world-renowned, iconic, simple design with this complex piece of shit that has a slower rate of fire
what the FUCK were they thinking
>>33454128
Because it weighs a fuckton and eats bullets like a fat girl at a buffet
>>33454128
>world-renowned
For the Cold War.
>iconic
For collectors and historians.
>simple design
It's unusually simple for the fact that it's roller delayed, rather than being locked. That it's less complex than average doesn't make average bad.
>with this complex piece of shit that has a slower rate of fire
It's lighter, modular, and the slower rate of fire is beneficial, here's a newsflash for you, an RPM of like 1200 is actually not great for a GPMG because you eat through your ammunition too fast.
The original MG42 wasn't exactly an ideal choice back in it's day because of how Germany suffered from an ammunition shortage, and the MG3 wasn't really ideal past the first half of the Cold War.
>>33454128
>make the barrel shroud lighter
>use polymers for the FCG/trigger assembly
>use aluminum where it can
>change a few things with the mass of parts and the size of the rollers to reduce rate of fire
Literally not that difficult.
TONIGHT, ON WINGS
I miss all the Wings shows. I wish I could find the Backfire episode of Wings of the Red Star.

Ah who cares?
never heard of it
Is it a soldier's gun? How reliable is it?

>x gun is fun to shoot
What the fuck does it even mean? Have you ever held a gun that's awful to shoot?
Pic is only /k/ related thing on my phone.
You know the opposite of fun isn't awful right.I personally think AKs and Lever actions are more fun to shoot that ARs, and revolvers are more than most semi autos.i think .40S&W is more fun to shoot than 9mm. Kinda depends in what it is you like about guns and how the gun itself fits the person.
I own a snub nose .38 S&W that isnt fun to shoot. It bruises my hand after more than a few rounds.
I probably just need to sell the .38, since I dont shoot it anymore, but it was my dad's, and wouldnt sell for very much, so I'll most likely just keep it.

AK - fun to shoot
AR - boring, not as fun to shoot
/k/, I need some advice about some firearms mechanic things.
I'm a hobbyist, but I had this idea of a spring assembly that would move along a weapon's y-axis to reduce the spring pressure at the end of the cycling motion, to reduce the chance of a gun improperly picking up a round from the magazine.
The idea is that it could be switched on and off, to quickly let the user of the weapon change between normal and subsonic ammunition.
Is this viable? Am I forgetting a law of physics here somewhere?
Like I said, I'm a hobbyist, I don't plan on building it. I just like designing odd gun mechanics.
Also, nothing in the webm is to scale. It's a very rough prototype.
The red and blue bar are to show the difference between the travel distance after both slides get the same 'recoil' impulse.
I'm using Algodoo as the physics simulator and drawing program btw.
The primary problems I can see are finding a way to fit it in without interfering with other mechanisms and that it may apply stress in an unusual way that the frame will need to be designed around.
>>33453943
I'm currently toying with how the guide rod would work, but the front portion of the frame would definately end up becoming wider than before.
I'm guessing a fixed barrel would be a must for a gun like this. I've tried to port the system to a 1911 size design so it looks less cartoony. Note the sharply angled guiderod.
Is this a practical design for an all-terrain combat vehicle?
What are some potential design flaws?
>>33453870
The Nomad isn't a combat vehicle. It's an all terrain exploration rover with minimal defensive capabilities
>>33453870
The whole rear differential is exposed. I blow the shit out of that first
>>33453870
More wheels more problems.
The concept of tank turret bunkers was inventet in the second world war by the germans.
The Swiss built some during the 90s with the turrets of obsolete Centurion tanks.
Are there any other nations who used this concept in recent time?
Pic relatet, Swiss 105mm Centurion bunker
>>33453525
interesting
but why?
Austria
>>33453665
Use your existing production lines to save on development costs and tooling.
Although that's less useful now that tank turrets are stuffed full of expensive things a bunker doesn't really need like stabilization and datalinks and shit.
So I will be going to Thailand for a month starting this thursday. I was looking on google maps on where I can do fun things and I see that there's a store that sells guns about a block from my hotel. I thought you guys said this country is the only country in the world that have private firearm ownership. I wonder if these people can help me transfer my guns here because I love Thailand and I will probably retire here.
5555555er here.
You're better off selling your firearms in the US and repurchasing in Thailand. The cost of finding an importer/exporter and a lawyer is just too much compared to selling and rebuying.
Thailand is arguably better than the cuck states, but it's nowhere near as relaxed as the red states, either. It's definitely as good as it gets in Southeast Asia unless you want to shoot RPGs at cattle in the jungles of Cambodia.
You won't get your assault weapons. And as a farang, you'll need to have property and possibly a job before you'll be allowed to purchase. Self-defense isn't always a qualifying reason for owning firearms - but defense of property is. So get your mandatory sexypat condo and your Toyota Hilux and your three "nieces" first so you can justify protecting something.
And the locals will be happy to assist you.

You say that like I don't want to shoot RPGs at cattle in the jungles of Cambodia.
