Was the Tsar Bomba actually impressive as a weapon or was it just dick waving?

From my understanding the most effective use of nuclear weapons is through multiple, small payloads blanketing a large area. It has something to do with the inverse square law if I recall correctly, that and it'd probably help get your payload through defense screens.

Any anons care to share reloading tips? Specifically, techniques i should focus on or avoid? Particularly for a mossberg 500, ak, and beretta 92. Im having issue getting my ak mags to engage on the first try. Im angling them in.

I am, but it feels like the forward hook on the mag keeps missing the groove in the magwell. Maybe its the mag? Im using surplus croatian metal mags. 10, 20, and a polymer 30, which seems to seat easier. Im scratching the shit out on the mags. Is this normal? Its my first AK.

Angle them more. Make it really dramatic.

Any of you bring a uncased gun to the range?

I dont agree with this, what if you go hunting? That says you own firearms?

What if you wear camo to the range? that says you have guns


A normal single or double rifle case is pretty obvious as well


a lot of people use ammo cans for the range too.

Any /k/ommandos here have a fantasy of conquest? Like building a military force and taking land?

Bring your scuba gear.

I'm planning on getting into reloading (shooting anywhere between 1K and 3K rounds a month, it's been long overdue). Which case tumbler do I want, if I plan to reload large quantities of rounds at a time and then just go shooting until I'm out of ammo again? I'll need 9mm, .223 and .308.

What are non-trivial things to know about tumblers that beginners usually miss?

Where do I buy the necessary armor, weapons, and clothing to look like the crusader in the pic? I don't know how to tell if the stuff I find online is historically accurate or high quality. I found $30 great helms on Amazon but I'm skeptical of accuracy/quality. Also, how much am I looking at for the full set? ~$1000?
26 posts and 11 images submitted.
>>
>>33029746
well, aside from the fact that its pretty damn iffy as an outfit...

lets see.
going by the helm, its early 14th C, the end of the templars, right at the tail end of the crusades.

lets assume 1298, so minimal hard plate.

A properly made sword: Albion, lets say, and a scabbard - scabbard by DBK or the likes. that's about $1,500.
Shield, wouldn't be metal-edged. properly made from limewood boards, gessoed, painted, from one of the eastern european guys, probably about $500-600.

Helm. lets got for a Dargen greathelm from Jeff Hildebrandt "Royal Oak Armoury". that's about $1000CDN, so, $800ish. (see pic)
Mail, you're in luck, the indians are making surprisingly good quality 6mm riveted mail nowadays - enough that its pretty affordable.
So, a coif will be $125.
Chausses, those will be about $350-400,
And the big one there, the hauberk: that's just short of $600. You might want mitten gauntlets too, so add $200 there.

Underneath that, you've got the textiles and other clothing.
a good pair of turnshoes is essential, because there's nothing worse than bad turnshoes, trust me. LEarnt that mistake when I started reenacting. Foxblade or the likes would do, so, lets say £100, $125.
Braes in linen, they're about $30 from suppliers, and then the undershirt in linen, that's about $50, you want two because trust me, you'll sweat like a pig. so, $130 in underwear layers.
Then woolen hose, those will be about $100-120 for a reasonable pair.
And then you have your aketon or gambeson over the shirt, under the mail. That's going to set you back at least $300 for a passable one, but for comfort, I'd be looking at custom, probably the Ukrainians because they're mental but cheap, so, say $500 for that.


Now the surcoat, that's in good linen with embroidered cross, probably $200-250.
And a good belt for the mail, $100 with tooling and proper historical buckles.

Add in little details, $5,500 is a reasonable pricetag to get a decent quality basic kit of that date.

I say, forgetting that that surcoat measn you cant even see the poelyns... and instead forgetting the greaves which you can see. duh.

Oh, and that surcoat is wool, not linen, of course. white wool's a real nightmare.

Always bolt actions
have consistantly hit targets at 600 yards from prone, no bipod/rests
I like .223 for practice, cheap to shoot and thanks to AR fags I can get it everywhere.
next gun is a savage 11 308 to go with my savage 11 223
30-06 is also good, but AR fags made 308 common, so I'll give up the 120fps for cheaper shooting

/nogunz/ here. I'm looking for an inexpensive handgun to carry. I'm in Georgia so don't care if it's concealed or open (unless there's a big difference). I was looking at a Glock 17 but I hear some people say Glocks are meme guns. Also, should I attend classes/training courses or just get my practice by visiting the range often?

A glock 17 is too large to carry concealed in most clothing and for most people who aren't the size of Shaq

You also need a CC permit in Georgia to conceal carry

You should do both. Take classes and train on your own

>>33029389
Accurate ranging is more important for precise shots because of how bad the bullet drop is. Some reticles help with ranging.

I would get something with a large objective lens and lower power, probably not over 6x. That way you'll have a big FOV to handle that drop and you'll grab more light for low-light shots, which I understand often coincide with a need for quiet shots.
