So we agree that shotguns are the best firearm a man can own in a real life scenario.
REAL LIFE means the everyday situation when a gun could be needed both for defence and food bringer, with the former hopefully once or twice in a lifetime or else you're living in a big fat shithole
ANYWAY WHY SHOTGUNS ARE GOAT
Cheap, powerful, easy to operate and maintain, some of the simplest mechanics are used, can shoot a cloud of pellets of a big fat over .70 caliber chunk of lead, the most flexible weapon/none (probably only knives can be more flexible) comfortably accurate up to 100 yards which is plenty for any real life need, ammo is plentiful, cheap and even can be hand loaded with minimum skill and equipment, ability to make cut shells if need arise in a pinch, easy to clean and a quality gun with a chrome lined barrel would last a lifetime
Cons, no penetration on hard targets with conventional ammo, extremely bulky and heavy ammo, relatively heavy recoil with any load
Discuss, also Shotgun General Thread
I have a shotgun. I'd rather shoot my AR though.
>relatively heavy recoil with any load
Not with .20 gauge and smaller.

Do these petitions actually work?
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/repeal-nfa
>>33175223
No, at "x" amount of votes the president has to look at it. If he likes it then he'll draft something up to send though the courts.
>>33175223
petitions dont do shit. they just draw attention to the fact that x amount of people think y is a good idea. there is no requirement to act at all.

It already has the 100k signatures needed.
I guess we will see if Trump truly is pro-funs or not.
Let's say you're carrying a gun on you,but a mugger gets the drop on you and you give him your wallet at gunpoint, and then when he turns around to leave you draw and shoot him in the back. Are you now totally fucked legally? Or could you argue that for all you knew he was going to change his mind and turn right back around to get rid of you? Does this vary by state? i'm having trouble finding concrete answers.
>>33175216
It's not illegal if you're in Texas.
>>33175216
on the one hand, is the small amount of cash and the cards you can cancel worth a human life?
On the other, he'll probably do it to someone else.
As far as court, you're probably fucked if the prosecutors make a decent case. Your life was no longer in danger, and you shot someone in the back.
The answer is unless you're in Taxas, and only if no witnesses or CCTV around, you yell something at him like nigger or faggot to make him turn around then unload. Say you feared for your life etc.
I met someone whose interested in going shooting. She's shot before, but I don't think she has much overall experience.
How should I go about showing her how to shoot, and not go uber-autist about form, and technique?
Firearms in question will be an A2 HBAR 20inch, and a 1911 (possibly an sks as well).
Wear your SS uniform and correct her every mistake by yelling in German. Bitches love a man who takes charge.
Don't go uber autist, go uber Übermensch.

I'm actually more concerned about making idle conversation in between target changes. She's really nice and all, and I'm socially awkward af.

I'm not sure if they're in stock, but I got one of the polish ak47s from Atlantic firearms. It's been a fantastic rifle.
Buuuuuut, if I could do it again I would have gone with an AK pistol.

If some nigger from the ATF shot my dog I'd fry their family KFC style and feed them to them over a longer period of time. and I'd let them live with the knowledge that they have eaten their 8 month old babby....
Does /k/ like swords? I like swords.
Swords are great for cosplay and wall hangers. They really should be in /fa/.

Hey /k/ I need some assistance with removing the paint of this AK. What's the best way to go about this? I heard soaking it in gasoline works but have not tried it yet.
Other side
>>33174829
Acetone/Paint thinner/Mineral spirits/Gasoline/etc. Spray or soak for a bit then scrub. Get some toothbrushes and plastic brushes after it.
>>33174868
This. Just soak the bitch in mineral spirits overnight and then use nylon abrasive pads. Repeat as necessary.
Anyone here ever served or know anyone that served on the USS Constitution? I know it's crewed by active-duty sailors. Wikipedia claims it's a "special duty" but I can't decide if this is where they stick people with great track records and a love of history or complete fuck-ups who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a modern naval vessel where they can screw things up.
From what I've heard from a few Navy buddies, honor guard is where they stick perpetual retards, so it stands to reason that USS Constitution duty would be the same.
Bump?

I wonder...how much of the original ship is left?
Is it still fully functional? Can the cannons still fire? Is there a fuckhuge winch for the anchor? Do you still have fucktons of barrels of shot and powder? Is a dude with a sharp knife still considered either essential or maniacal?
There must be answers.
>>33178319
>I wonder...how much of the original ship is left?
I read that only 20% or so dates to the original construction.
>Is it still fully functional?
Yes
>Can the cannons still fire?
They technically have authentic cannons, but there is a 40mm signal gun inside of them.
>Is there a fuckhuge winch for the anchor?
No clue
>Do you still have fucktons of barrels of shot and powder?
They just have little 40mm cartridges for the signal guns
>Is a dude with a sharp knife still considered either essential or maniacal?
There is a lot of rope. They needs knives, at least for safety concerns

Honestly, I don't.
Even if it ever becomes a thing you can actually buy, the fact that it requires the use of tools to field strip is a deal killer for me.
When the time comes, I'll almost certainly be buying a SCAR 17S instead,
>>33174213
Why would anybody not just get an RDB or tavor instead at this point?
Why all the lust for a totally unproven memegun from a totally unreliable company?

Am I the only one here who thinks the Thompson submachine gun is the best looking gun ever made? Specifically the pre-WWII version.

But for real tho I'm worried that I'm going to blow a ton of money on one some day. I don't think I could stop myself if I saw someone selling one in real life.
Hey guys, what are some good tv shows to binge while getting drunk and dry firing for hours at a time?
I've recently completed a re-watch of justified and I'm meandering through TWD.
I'm mostly interested in non-war pistol gun play or possible apocalyptic stuff.
You know stuff that has a wide variety of arms and isn't criminally negligent with how they are handled.
(I know TWD is criminally negligent but at least there's a plethora of arms and accessories)
I tried that TV show shooter and it was hot garbage.
I have access to NEETflix and torrents

Hey /k/
I am currently building a Tiger 2 1:35 scale model and I'm on the fence about it's side skirts, I was thinking of damaging them by heating some parts and then bending them with the dull end of a knife.
But could the tiger 2's side skirts actually bend due to a collision or something? Are there any historical photos you guys have that maybe can leave some evidence or something?
Pic somewhat related; want to base mine on the one in the pic.
They bent all the time. They were pretty thin, you know. Granted, that one is a wreck, but I'm sure a tank would usually have wobbly side skirts after a Campaign.
>>33174050
Hm.
Were they made from common sheet metal or steel?
Maybe I could make a large dent with a polished metal kind of look
>>33174050
Thats Tiger I
I think that was actually just fenders on Tiger Is to cut down on dust where it was actually schurzen on Tiger IIs. I've never seen pics of the schurzen on Tiger IIs bent, only missing. Seems like it would be very resistant to bending because its quite small and would be very stiff.
This is the "USMC 1942 combat sword"
Is this meme tier or was there actually such a thing?
>>33173828
It's not real. It's just something that a company is making.
>>33173828
There was never such a thing, unless you're trying to sell it then yeah.
