so /k/, whats the best gun for a guy like me?
>>32867227
With a face like that I don't think anyone would rob, rape, or attempt to murder you.
Glue gun
Caulk gun
>tfw you will never be a houthi high on khat storming a saudi military compound and walking away like a christmas tree of assault rifles
G36 camo
>>32867107
Note that the saudis have taped the magazines together, despite there being a built in feature to clip G36 magazines together
meanwhile, a houthi with some kind of magazine pouch that seem to be able to hold a few rounds

how badly would I get raped if I were to take a saiga 12, convert it to full auto and load the mags with rubber bullets and take it to the next antifa protest, then unload on the rioting fuckheads
I would of course wear a plate carrier with double stacked mag pouches, hiding the gun and carrier under a commie trenchcoat

>how badly would I get raped
Well, hmm...
> convert it to full auto
Something you don't know how to do, let alone safely. That'll get your dog shot.
>unload on the rioting fuckheads
Attempted murder charges. They dun give a damn if you're shooting them with doughnut sprinkles.
So... lots of raped.
You would get lots of raped.
>>32867007
dang, but its cool for anti fa to beat people to death with shovels
I will tell my friend
>>32867013
Well, that's not "cool" but it doesn't carry the attendant weight of violating federal law and unloading a firearm on a crowd, plus they wear masks and attack in packs so they can get away with it.
You'd just be Columbine Autism Rambo, and fuck, the police would likely shoot you as soon as the gun went off, if they're around.
Hi /k/omrades, I come to you in my time of need. My friend and I are in the army. He is extremely liberal and we got into a discussion about firearms and gun control. He argues that its safer to have no guns and that owning firearms leads to more crime, violence, and murder.
I need you to hit me with your best stats, facts, and (bipartisan) studies to win this.
Some of his main arguments involve:
> Australia post gun ban
> South Korea and Japan
> England and the EU (kek) in general
> US statistics
and just to put some icing on the cake of butthurt, he said, and I quote:
> If the government banned all guns I'd be happy to hand them over. It would be a great idea! I wouldnt even care if they didnt pay me back for it!
>>32866781
>> If the government banned all guns I'd be happy to hand them over
Does he actually have any guns to hand over?
Or is he just saying that he'd be happy for other people to have their property taken away because he doesn't have to deal with any of the consequences?
Also point him to countries that have major gang and drug problems like the US, namely gun-free utopias such as Mexico and Brazil, as well as the surely war-torn and totally chaotic Switzerland.
The lefty pro-gun angles are your best bet against someone vehemently anti.
>Marx/Soc/Com quotes insisting workers ought to be armed
>Racist mil/pol/gov have a monopoly on violence in nogunz states
>Guns are an equalizer for women, elderly, disabled
>>32866781
Compare the stats of Canada to CA.
CA is in America, but has stricter gun laws than Canada. This should show you what a strict gun control America would look like.
Protip: It's not the crime-free paradise liberals would predict.

As opposed to a dysfunctional polearm?
Depends on who makes it. Why does it need to be functional? Just buy a bloody knife or a sword or something. Where would you even use that? Please don't say home defense... seriously though, what do you want it to be capable of?
>>32866757
As opposed to a polearm that is non-functional IE if it bumps into something too hard it the edge or spike chips.
Thoughts on the Rhino? Finally go to shoot one, was pleasantly surprised at how different it was. And those cyberpunk aesthetics.
SEAM!!!

They should do a better job hiding it.
I prefer non-toasted fingers, I'll pass on the Rhino.
What percentage of the Afghan population supports or is sympathetic to America? Surely the Taliban would have made enough enemies for some Afghans to ally with America.
>>32866496
there will be no arab spring in Afghanistan, most everyone is farmers, most everyone supports theocracy, there is no oil wealth, main source of wealth comes from opium
We can't any more.
>>32866496
Probably not very high, they don't necessarily like the Taliban and in some cases hate them. But they exist in essentially a lawless or high corrupt part of the world where being 'pragmatic' is a part of survival.
Alliances run along family and tribal lines as they're generally the only form of society and 'law' that does exist.
And here we have the new HK rifle which will be the successor of the G36

So apparently this kid was shopping for guns in class in college and it went viral and now noguns are trying to get him kicked out for it and are calling him a school shooter.
Should we help him get his first gun or was he retarded for doing that?

Torn between this or a G19 as my first carry gun, anyone have any trigger time with the new M&Ps?
Disappointed that they didn't re-design that god awful hinge trigger but it's the break and reset that I'm most interested in.
I have a 5" with the Apex flat trigger which would mean I would be able to use the same mags if I stick with M&P but sort of want something different as well.
I've shot my friend's 19 and liked that I didn't have to drop $100 on a new trigger right out the gate.
>>32865898
I own a 2.0, the trigger hasn't been a problem for me. If you really think an apex is required then i dunno what to say. i guess the only thing i will say is if you get a glock you'll have to drop 60+ to get "usable" sights; most out of the box carry guns typically require one or more QOL upgrades.
Word of widsom. ATEi's M&P trigger work is by far better than any apex trigger.
>>32866080
Don't know much about how the 2.0's trigger stacks up to the gen 1's, even for the gen 1 Pro versions an Apex was pretty much required.
>>32866253
What's their turnaround time like? I'd imagine it's likely months long.
I don't know if this is more appropriate for /sci/ or /k/, but I figure you guys would have experience with the practical side of the question, so I'll ask here.
My field of interest is protective materials, particularly the protection of individuals in space. Body armor. While there's a lot of angles to that particular problem - all the types of cosmic radiation, heat, cold, etc. - the part that I care most about is physical protection. Mostly because we suck at it. I mean, we really suck at it. Look at what our soldiers use in battlefields.
Let's put this in perspective. I'm not a gun expert, but google says a bullet is about 5-15 grams and is fired at 900 to 1500 meters a second? And our current body armors cannot even ensure against the higher calibers of those statistics.
Compare that to micro debris flying through space. The slower debris is clocked at moving 25000 mph, or 11,176 meters a second, relative to us. The faster is around 160,000 mph, or 71,526 meters a second. And the average is between there.
Honestly, space scares the shit out of me. The ISS is a fucking fortress of our best materials, like a massive space tank, and it still takes its lashes:
http://sen.com/news/meteor-strike-on-iss-is-reminder-of-cosmic-hazard
and notice
>If a similar sized piece of debris had hit an astronaut on a spacewalk, the consequences may have been fatal.
Even the smallest micro particles sandblast the shit out of us, and our atmo consumes 10,000 to 20,000 tons (by mass) of micrometeoroids per year. But while we're still getting better against "space weathering," a 1 cm^3 iron meteorite (~7g) traveling at 12,000 m/s is still exactly like it sounds.
Anyways, I'm not here to ask /k/ to solve this problem. I just started college and have some pleb-tier fundamental questions about guns that could apply towards it.
I'm out of characters, so I'll ask the questions next post.
I'm no expert, but I've got a basic grasp on how current body armor works and the fundamentals behind them. Hard plates are meant to shatter bullets on impact and prevent penetration. Ceramic plates are meant for the bullet to penetrate it and lose force by resistance as it goes.
Q1: Assuming we make perfectly hard, indestructible armor - say carbon nanotubes and buckypaper is a complete success and we can make nice armors out of it, that somehow doesn't degrade - the force translated to the body should be about equal (less after air friction, etc.) to the recoil of the gun firing it, right? Except dispersed over the whole plate. The danger then is just the collision and how violent it moves you.
So using some pleb-tier collision math (and fault me if I'm wrong, v2 = [(m1)/(m1+m2)]*v1), getting hit by a 5g bullet at 900 m/s moves you (with gear) a scant .05 m/s. The earlier 7g iron meteorite at 12,000 mps moves you 1 m/s, kind of like getting checked by a hockey player. And if one of the faster meteorites, moving at 71,000 m/s, then I'd imagine it'd feel like getting hit by a small car moving at 14 mph. However, it doesn't take much more mass for even this armor to be inefficient. A small 100g meteorite at 12k m/s hits you like a car at 33mph, and at 71k m/s you'll be creamed like a car at nearly 200 mph. And at a single kg, you're going to wish it punched through you instead.
Now it's my understanding you can break this force down with padding - spreading the force out over more distance, like the hard foam in bike helmets or ceramic ballistic plates. To my understanding, allowing it to accelerate/decelerate you over time instead of suddenly. So,
Q2, does this effect have a significant/exponential effect to the extent of being able to survive these kinds of forces, or would it require too much space to work on a personal level (IE the crush space for a car).
Increasing your mass has the most significant effect that I can tell. Double mass is moved half speed.
>>32865663
Look into the work of Dr. Afsaneh Rabiei
Metallic foam is a bloody game changer for ppe development.
>>32865760
It's the same problem though. We're getting better and better at "catching" high and even hypervelocity projectiles. The problem stems from the fact that once you catch them, you're also catching all of their force. The force behind a small bullet at 900 m/s is nothing. If you catch it, it'll move a 90kg man only .05 m/s backwards. But if it was moving at 12,000 m/s? That's a bit rougher. If it was moving 71,000 m/s? That's going to do damage, assuming you caught it at all. And space has more than just 5g or 7g meteorites flying around.
My eventual goal is to keep someone alive through that.
Just curious: Might we ever see anything like this?
Increased mobility through exo-skeletons, holo-interface?
I'm pretty interested in the newest shit in terms of infantry tech.
>>32865630
been in prototyping phase for quite some while. New models pop out all the time, and it's not just mil-tech anymore either.
The various "land warrior" -style integrated electronic systems, like that HUNTR, pretty much do that "holo" shit.

The car i normally drive had broken down the day before and i hadn't taken the time to swap my get home bag (that has my first aide kit) into it. I also couldn't find my flashlight that morning before i left.

I still feel holding him in c-spine as the EMT's put the neck brace on him and feeling the bones that were his jaw grinding together and seeing how much blood he had lost.
Worst part is, i couldn't do anything for him as most of the bleeding was internal.
One time my mom didn't bring home chicken nuggets when she said she would so I had to cook up ramen myself like a fucking caveman.
