Hey /k/, I've been drooling over this 18" AR-10 and I wanna buy it. It'd be my first purchase, but I have a situation that may or may not prevent me from buying one, everything I have searched for on the topic has been unclear.
>be stupid me on antidepressants/anxiety 4 years ago
>try to kill my self in the midst of an argument, get sent to hospital and baker acted (mandatory stay in psych ward for up to 72 hours)
>this only happened while I was on the medication, otherwise I have never thought of or tried to suicide
>after I quit any thoughts I had went away
>am normal now, depression wasnt really depression
>live in FL, no judge was present at any time to review my case/make determination
>only reason I was forced to stay there is because I stupidly admitted I wanted to suicide
So, without any judge ordering a psych ward stay, will I still be able to purchase a gun for non concealed carry use? For that matter, do background checks even look at medical records?
If I'm fucked, are there any other options available besides getting one illegally shipped?
TL;DR: Tried to kill self and am unsure as to whether or not I can still purchase a firearm for my home.

Try it, worst thing that could happen would be the feds saying no, then just buy one from another person if you really really need one in your life.
Now, from a legal standpoint, the federal NICS background check generally only pulls felony records, from what I understand, and without having a criminal charge, there may be nothing of note in your background check.
>>34947685
Thanks, I read a lot of controversy about obama restricting the access to guns anyone who had suicide in their history, though I couldn't find whether or not it only included court-ordered psychiatric care.
Was pretty worried about getting the gun shipped and then not being able to pick it up, but I'll try just going in there for a background check.
I've loved shooting ever since I was a kid, that and peace-of-mind make it a purchase somewhat high on my list.
>>34947803
It's "involuntarily admitted" that's illegal, but if you were only there for three days it was just a safety check. Three days is the limit they can keep you without a parent/guardian/person with power of attorney or a judge forcing you into their. I actually know that shit for a fact, I had some shit go down in my early teens and it never stopped me from owning funs.
Post aesthetically pleasing gear, isn't restricted to uniforms.
We all need a sweater to shoot in.
Say we have 2 guns. The first gun is pic related or maybe a g34 with a ported barrel. The other is a compact glock with a comp a la roland special. Which would be better when it comes to reliability, bullet velocity, muzzle flip,etc.?
context you stupid nigger, what is the intended purpose?
>>34947445
I'm not sure what you mean. I guess I can word the question differently: Which will achieve the intended effect (flatter shooting) while being better in the things I mentioned?
>want to buy first gun
>go to pawnshop because poor fag college kids
>walk in say hi and beeline right for guns
>start checking out shotguns, no real touching
>"Get out!"
>think he's talking to someone else
>"Get out, kid!
>"I'm 19 so its-"
>"if you don't get out on the count of 3 I'll call the cops"
>notice his hand hovering near his waist in that way
>leave
What the fuck...

His loss, just go to another one, or transfer a firearm through him and have a smug smile on your face for the whole transaction.
>>34947353
Just don't give those assholes your business again, and spread bad word of mouth of them.
shipwreck thread
>>34947313
I'd like to know more about bladed weapons particularly medieval swords, I'm counting on /k/ to give me knowledge about medieval weaponry particularly edged weapons.
Also I suppose you can post shit about blunt weapons like maces and flails and war hammers and stuff.
Tl;Dr educate me about bladed and blunt weapons from the medieval period.
Well, it's not about the weapons in particular, but Roman centurions tended to be more effective not just because of superior training, but because they went on the offensive with their shields, rushing in in formation. They were fucking awesome.
a sword has a sharp edge and a point. the sharp edge is used to cut things and the point can stab things. that will be 5 florins for my services
>>34947302
I know the gladius was designed to be short because a roman soldier could stab forward (he couldtnt swing his sword because soldiers beside and behind him) so did a roman formation just zerg rush the enemy and then stab them?
How did medieval soldiers fight? Thanks to movies and shit it seems like medieval battles were chaotic free for alls I don't think a long sword would be conducive to fighting in a formation
>when you get your 6 pinned and Trump is promising to send you back to the country that made you a man.
>That feel when you want to give ISIS the FIST and have combat blue balls
Please tell all your sins of the gun unto me my son.
Forgive me /k/ube I like having guns more than I like shooting them
I only own two long guns and plan on a third, I skipped my range day this week. Forgive me, /k/ube.
I buy thousands of dollars worth of guns to learn as many as I can and have first hand knowledge of them to help new shooters and people asking questions. U give free holsters and ammo to new shooters and friends, do reaserch for them on accessories, and find them deals. I teach everyone who stands near me for more than five minutes about the basics of firearms safety and what would be a good first gun. I have helped or motivated dozens to join the ranks of gun owners and teach them how to be safe and hate gun control as an offence to their individuality.
And my sin, is that of pride, because I think these actions make me better than the average shooter. But I'm trying to keep myself in check and not be an arrogant asshole.
I was recently gifted this M1 Carbine and there are no markings that tell who made it. It doesn't look like any I have been able to find. Anyone know what it is?

More likely than not it's a "Universal", with a few USGI parts.
Wally world has a Stevens 20ga pump for $147
Deal or no deal?
>>34947110
For an extra $60 you can take your pick of an array of better shotguns off the wall of a pawnshop.
its only $150, do it
>>34947110
>20ga
You can get 12ga Mossberg's and Remington's for just a little over 200. Do that.
In the 60s America could not win against malnourished rice farmers, they were so stupid they thought to have won the war, completely pulled out and let the enemy take over all the land which led to what is perhaps the most humiliating military defeat in all of human history.
In 2001 America was attacked by double digit IQ goat fuckers from a poor third world shithole and they did it with no real infrastructure, command chain, professional soldiers and everything else you'd expect a group to need to even consider about attacking the so called almighty America... The US was put on its knees, raised awareness to Defcon 3 and just didn't know what to do besides panic.
They went into this shithole and it took them more than a decade to find the guy who orchestrated the attacks. Still to this day, American soldiers are hopelessly chasing after their tails in this third world shithole and as it seems they won't leave it at least in the next 5 to 20 years.
And whenever America pulls out of a country they invaded, be it Libya or Iraq, other groups form and America can't deal with them.
The American military is honestly a joke, Russia, China and North Korea could spit on your faces and you'd be scared to do anything because those three countries could literally hack into your entire power grid system and infrastructure and destroy it without firing a bullet.

Presenting you a close second or first.
The S&W 1911 Pro Series
Good Kek, have mercy
>>34947033
The question is why a "sexy" pistol?
Beauty lies in symmatery and etc. balance
>>34947033
Where can i get this exact color anyone?
>>34947033
What makes that sexier than any other 1911?
Hello fellow /k/ommandos,
What are the best rifle rounds for shooting through walls that can still reliably kill a human target standing behind it?
Are there any other than .50 BMG that are suited for such an application? What shape and material composition would make a given bullet ideal for this purpose?
>>34946973
Pretty much everything will go through interior house walls and remain lethal.
20mm is pretty good at defeating material and isnt a .50 BMG
>>34946989
I was thinking something that could reliably penetrate brick or concrete at a distance without altering the trajectory.
>>34946997
True, but they're overkill for soft targets behind those obstacles. I'm looking for something a little more portable.
It's a shame nobody likes Russia and Russian military tech. Nobody's watching the Army 2017 Forum currently happening in Russia. They're showing off BMP K-17 Boomerang IFV and a lot of new army tech. I guess it's time for Russia to just buy Chinese.
>>34946908
Looks like shit though.
>>34946908
>It's a shame nobody likes Russia and Russian military tech.
It's not that nobody likes it, it's just we all know better when they come out with carrier/fighter/satellite/sub killer. It'll never work nor will ever be in production in any meaningful amount.
>>34946908
>I guess it's time for Russia to just buy Chinese.
They woud never accept that. Adding on to my post here >>34946953
The Chinese also have the sort of issue. too many projects that claim to do to many things perfectly, without fail, every time without breakdowns.
I reload 30-06 and am curious, is there a guide to getting legit projectiles for reloading? Any place that sells them? Thanks.
>>34946789
Why do you need black tip? Can't you just use regular FMJ or soft points for whatever it is you need to kill?
>>34948283
You don't 'need' it, but I would be lying if I didn't want one or a few thousand.
>>34946789
Do you have a black sharpie?
