I have this argument with my dad all the time. I mean I can see the potential of having all 30 rounds in a magazine wear the spring out over time and ruining the mag but at the same time I have heard plenty of people say that does not matter at all.
So /k/, does keeping your magazine fully loaded damage the spring in the long term or not? Should you keep your magazines only semi-loaded long term? Or is magazine rotation the answer?
>>32858735
Compression and contraction repeatedly is what ruins springs, not staying compressed.
Many such cases.
>>32858735
Yes, one time somebody in my squad fully loaded a mag and it took out half the platoon when it exploded from spring overpressure.
No(body really knows), and it's really not that important.
What's going to wear the spring out more quickly is use.
So in theory loading a magazine to full, and then unloading it, might deteriorate the spring more than just leaving it fully loaded.
Noguns here. How fucked am I?
I've only fired a 22 rifle and a 1911 .
All were fired before this happened.

Are you lefty dominant or what? If your right hand is fine there shouldn't really be a problem.
>>32858528
Cut the rest of the hand off. Get one of those cool robot ones. Become Robocop.
>>32858559
Left dominant for most things ya.
But I am very ambi.
But a rifle feels best left.

There's this cool thing called the "Archive" you should look through it.
Classified.
Bring guns, ammo, vodka, and a water based lubricant. Strawberry flavor will get you somewhere.
>>32858162
Does anyone sell ammunition there?
Are there any muzzle brakes for, lets say the ar-15, that cancel out 100% of the recoil?
>>32857775
No
Not exactly. There are some that overcompensate and push your barrel too far down and slightly forward. Most brakes do a pretty good job of getting rid of the 5.56 "recoil", but the gun will still move while shooting. That's just physics
>>32857784
How come there aren't any? I mean surely it is possible.
Need more games to feed my addiction

The Boker Kalashnikov Dagger Automatic Knife. What say you /k/ommandos? Yay or nay. Anyone have experience. Wanting to get the 3.25 inch one in gray for daily carry. Damn near impossible since this one is a BladeHQ exclusive, but almost saying fuck it and just getting a different color. Are these any good for the low price of $40 or less USD?
I've only heard good things about them, although never owned one myself so can't much on the topic other than they seem to have good reviews for the price. iirc I heard they were made in collaboration with benchmade, don't hold me to it though.
Just stop and think a moment. It's a $40 auto. It's probably shit.
>>32856677
just buy opinel
What could have caused this?
>>32856591
its a piece of shit AR/thread
I'd assume it was a hang fire, the operator tried to eject the round and it went off as he was half way through.
post your weirdest weapons
Ian please go.
Rip. I actually like these threads but I don't have anything to contribute
>>32856212
I got you covered.
I'll keep it simple.
I want soft body armor that will stop most pistol threats and sharp objects.
Is there any police/mil surplus that I could purchase that can accomplish this while being concealed under a light jacket or button up?
If not, what's my best option under $1000, PS: No AR500 steel plates

>>32855703
A stab vest will not stop a bullet, and a bulletproof vest will not stop a stab
>>32855703
>stop most pistol threats and sharp objects.
Most bullet+edge combos are gonna be too bulky to conceal.
>>32856274
There are many products that combine both into a single vest, commonly found in overt police vests.
Is the .410 really too weak to use for self defense? Should you just use .45lc or a 20 gauge instead?
You should just use 5.56

Which branch are you enlisting/enlisted/considering?
http://strawpoll.me/4671253
I ship out to San Diego in like 6 weeks and haven't gotten my MOS chosen. Just last week my recruiter asked me to come in to choose my MOS, but then that job (and the others) became full.
What am I supposed to do? I don't really want to go Communications (its the only thing available according to him).
If you ain't coast guard you ain't shit.

How does /k/ feel about people who use marijuana owning guns? Is it cool so long as you don't mix the two? What about alcohol and guns? Same deal?
>>32851944
Who cares faggot no ones opinion is going to change what you more than likely illegally do in your free time.
>>32851960
I've never smoked weed or drank alcohol before. I'm actually asking because of how phobic I am of the two.
>>32851944
really weed should be legalized, it's less harmful than alcohol. you should never shoot under the influence of anything, be it alcohol drugs whatever. honestly the only reason I don't smoke is because I'm a truck driver and there's a required drug test if you end up in an accident
