Anyone else know the dilemma?
>family generally liberal as fuck
>mom former lawyer, 100% anti-gun
>dad a former ranger, now homicide detective in local PD, pro gun (grew up in Hawaii so that's likely why he's a libtard like the rest of us)
>older siblings both vegetarian hipsters, 100% anti-gun as well
>me, youngest, only one to ever go shooting with my dad as of a decade ago now
>live in CA, love it but feels like hostile territory on the subject
>want to purchase my first personal firearm in a year but don't know how it'll affect my life since at least my dad has some excuse due to his background
Admittedly only fairly recently adopted a totally pro-firearms viewpoint amidst the storm of retardation in my home state.

Modern conservatives in the US have moved so far from classical conservative viewpoints that I have somehow ended up in the "liberal" camp.
Tbh my politics tends to fall in line with the Founding Fathers but that seems to be an out-dated form of thinking.
One side hates the second, the other thinks if you're a """"""""terrorist""""""" then the 4th and 5th shouldn't apply to you. And here I am thinking they're all pretty good ideas. I also like the essence of Teddy Roosevelt's "square deal". Natural resources are preserved and corporations aren't allowed to run amok and screw the consumer by forming monopolies.
For some reason this makes me a weirdo in the current political climate.

There's a difference in being a conservative and being a filthy Neocon

Honestly man, the Republican Party has gone so off the rails this last year that I don't even understand what "conservatives" want anymore. I couldn't stand either candidate so I tossed my presidential vote in for the Libertarians because I knew Gary Johnson wouldn't win (and I didn't want him to) but an uptick in independent numbers might eventually bring them federal funding as a party. I did a ton of research on local candidates instead because that way my vote would still do something useful for my state.
Ask anything, share knowledge, get critiqued on gear etc.

/k/ bunker when?
>>33174238
The idea of half of us all in a bunker is a somewhat terrifying prospect.
>>33174314
Not as long as we have a room for the literal autists so when they ND they only kill eachother.
Hey /k/, I found some antique shotguns down in my grand father's basement. One is a single shot breach load, with no makers mark. Could someone identify it for me, and maybe a price?
>>33207077
why would you want price?
Wait
are you trying to sell your gramps shotty?
am dissapoint
>>33207077
looks like a cheap H&R single shot shotty
> price
maybe 25 bucks?
Another picture, the mechanisms of the gun all seem to work fine, I dry fired it once.
So I just got a Blade Tech Nano for my glock 43 and the loops stick out too far. Under my shirt, there are like 2 bumps where the loops stick out
I zip tied them closed do you think it will work? I'll post a pic
Will it fix itself naturally after I wear it for a bit? It looks fucking retarded
>>33206950
hey anon, take a picture of what it looks like when you are wearing it. I suspect it doesn't print as bad as you think it does.
>>33206967
well you can't really tell here
Why would you use 2 red dots? I understand a magnified optic + 1 red dot setup. But why the need for two of the same optic? Back up RDS?
>>33206567
Autism?
>>33206567
>gee, your mom let you have TWO red dots?
>>33206567
what's the big red switch cover looking thing on the left side of the rifle?
some kind of QD thing?
If Supertramp had a gun in .50 BMG would he have survived the Alaskan wilderness?

How about a Yugoslav Wars thread? Post what you got - photos, stories, anything. I'd like to learn more about the Balkan warfare, especially Kosovo.
>>33205139
Anyone know any good films about the conflict?
>>33205139
hey /k/,
im a total noob with weapons and dont know anything about fighting. i just wanted to ask you guys what you think of the john wick movies. i like that focus on raw action and to me the handling and depiction of weapons seems more "realistic" than in other movies. but ive been really courious, can you answer me the questions:
1. Do you think that weapon-/fist-fightingstyle with funky gun tricks is really effective or just made to look slick?
2. do you like the focus on the weapons?
3. whats with that thing of not holding the pistol not straight in front of your face but tilted, like half-ghetto-style? is that any good or just stupid?
3.b) did you shake your head when john wick does this one handed chamber checking trick in the museum? looks a bit over the top to me
i know this isnt /tv/ but i thought that you guys might be a bit more enthusiastic and sound about those topics
i don't watch movies, or tv.
1. equilibrium-style gun tricks are not feasible
2. gunshots are cgi in this movie. it's bad practice for gun-focused movies.
3. unless you're really skilled with your gun, it's bad idea. Some people get really good with their gun however, so they can hit targets from any arm/wrist angles, so within movie it probably makes sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gWaBimM0Us
i only watch artsy shit that focuses on set design and camerawork
Left right or center?
I like right for removing acorn.
>>33204506
In my experience the right was always the most accurate in the break action pellet guns I've used. The ones I used had a small cavity sort of like an open tip match type deal. All of them would be pretty conducive to removing small varmints though.
>>33204506
What caliber and what muzzle energy?
Is it worth? Insert opinions here. Pic Related.
Got a socom 16 and it runs fine, expensive gun and expensive to shoot are main drawbacks
If you have the money, sure why not
>>33204447
They are nice, and fun to work on if you enjoy tinkering, but are expensive and yield low returns on performance at the cost point.
Get one because you want an m1a, no other reason, if you want a precision rifle or battle rifle look else where , better $$$ value.
I love mine tho.
SMG thread, Machinepistols are also welcome edition

> tfw you will never find a stash of german MP38 waiting for you to pick up and take care of
it hurts so much

When I was a little kid I would ask for an MP-40 for Christmas every year.
Still waiting

isis found some stg 44's not long ago thought they were ak's
Say something nice about the Osprey.
Bitchin design
>>33204226
I rode in them in them during Iraq, I'm still alive.
>>33204226
That's a badass photo, is it real?
Found a stray bullet at the range and can't identify the type, 9mm casing for scale, da fauq is it?
>>33204166
I'd say .45 ACP FMJ 230gr.
>>33204179
This
Go get a pair of calipers to be sure
>>33204179
I don't have any on hand, but it appears to be much larger than a .45acp and it was found on a rifle only range, not to say it couldn't be a handgun round though, I'm certainly not an expert.
>post something online about how shit it is to basically call right wing people fascists because of different political opinions.
>Antifa guy under a fake profile sends me a message with my address and calls me a dirty fascist
Told the cops, nothing they can do.
What would you do in this situation?
