What's /k's/ favorite elk hunting caliber and why? I'm about to go elk hunting for the first time in the Colorado Rockies this fall and I need to decide what caliber rifle I should get. It would be nice if it could use it on mule deer as well.
>>32671375
.270, .308, and 30-06 are good for both. Shot placement is important though, and keep shooting until he's down

>and keep shooting until he's down
Sounds like you have never hunted larger game before. Doing that is not only a waste of the meat and hide, but a waste of the tag you received.
>>32671375
Use whatever rifle you're most comfortable with. I've brought down two Elk with arrows. One was a two blade the other was a three blade. Two blade one nicked it's heart and it didn't even make it 20 yards down the hill. Three blade was a clean lung shot that nicked the spine when it jumped. Dropped on the spot.
I've harvested over a dozen with rifle calibers too. What I'm getting at is it really boils down to what you're comfortable with. Bigger doesn't mean better. What matters more than anything else is that you practice with the rifle you will be using so you can get that clean shot. So many times I've seen hunters try to harvest game with a rifle they never shot before and it ends in fucking disaster. They either gut shot the game or do some next level bullshit like injuring themselves.
The best caliber for large game is the caliber that you are best with. If you're best with .223 and it's legal to use in your area then by all means use it.
so today at work I had to listen to this guy talkin all this shit about his ak47 and what he was shottin this weekend. he was all clip high capacity assault clip and shit like that. i says Roy if you says clip one more time im gonna hit you in the head with this hear cressent wrench its a magazine you dumb fuck. so he goes and gets the supervisor who tells me to knock it off that a clip is the same thing as a magazine and i best no be hittin anyone with no cressent wrench.
is these fucks for real with that shit. i'm ready to say fuck that job and bust Roy in the head with that wrench then bust the supervisor in his fat old face. fuck them and that high capacity assault clip shit
SAGE and move on folks, nothing to see here.
>>32670644
Normies call them clips. I know veterans who saw combat and call them that, even if it's wrong.
It's not 2011, even /k/ doesn't care it's an outdated meme.
>>32670669
This. I saged, but wanted to reply.
>>32670760
>Normies call them clips
This is a fact.

Seriously, you are smart guys /k/. What facility would be the msot difficult to raid? What would make it the most difficult? Would the interior need to be extremely claustrophobic? Or really wide open, with tons of raised platforms? I'm totally not designing a SWAT trap.
>>32670118
this shit
you would probably need a brigade and a week to clean this fucker
relatet question: what was the biggest building ever raided?
>>32670352
would be a fucking mess
if there are some trained defenders you will have a fucking bloodbath
Would you buy it /k/?
Pros:
> Integrally supressed
> Looks like it came straight from Fallout
> 9mm, hence, cheap ammo
> It looks cool as fuck
> You could probably thow it really hard at someone and kill them if you run out of ammo
> Nice decoration piece that actually shoots, handy in a pinch.
Cons
> Bigger than a deagle
> Larger than a deagle
> Everything more than a deagle, except it shoots only 9mm
> Can't be used as a CCW unless you wear extra large clothing
> Won't have any pratical use except maybe specialized military use
> Can only shoot subsonic
> Would probably break like a cream cracker if you loaded it with regular ammo
>>32669956
For that price tag I could buy an HK MK23 with a underbarrel weight attachment and fit a suppressor on it and still look less stupid.
>>32669956
>paint it black.
>heavily engrave it.
>silver inlay and perhaps an led or two.
>open carry the shit out of it.
it's almost decent enough.
still not as cool as the integrally suppressed tavor
Are any of you builders? I'm motivated to build an ak74 from a parts kit, but I'm under the impression buying all the parts individually and making a frankenstein gun would be cheaper. Which way is easier and more affordable? I'm not exactly working with an industrial grade garage either, so finding building tutorials of my level are really fucking rare, aside from this one tutorial from some autistic brony on youtube. Basically any help would be appreciated
>>32669429
>I'm under the impression buying all the parts individually and making a frankenstein gun would be cheaper.
no just no
the only gun thats cheaper to build than buy is the ar15 since all parts are easily available and you dont build as much as assemble. the next cheapest gun would be an ak build. you are looking at about 300 bucks in tools if you are starting from nothing and dont break even until ak 3 or 4. most parts kits builds cost way more than just buying one. you build as a labor of love. the only way its cheaper is if you are building 10 or have a machineshop at your disposal.
building to save money is a stupid idea.
>>32669780
Eh idk. I can get an ak built for $200

Even if that was true, it doesn't matter because it isn't in service any more.

Kabul Arsenal has great stocks! Best stocks! Maple or hazel stocks!
>>32668511
Maybe you're bored of other arsenal's shotguns? Maybe you say to yourself! "Hello myself, how are you today?" and the answer is by using construction-grade steel and copper barrels we can keep our prices low while you shoot high!
>>32668511
I'd actually pay serious money for wood that nice. Now copper barrels, on the other hand...
Im gonna be working on a suit of home-made bullet proof armor soon, and i want to know what kind of foam i should use to pad it with. Obviously if i just strapped ar500 to my chest i'd rupture just about every organ in my body after getting shot a few times, so i want to heavily pad it, but im not sure what foam to use for that. Any suggestions?

Some jackass breaks into your home and they are armed. Obviously your course of action is to incapacitate them as quickly as possible to protect yourself. But then you've got to deal with shit afterward.
From a legal perspective I have heard arguments for both shoot to wound and shoot to kill. So which leaves you in a better position and less exposed?
>>32668258
Kill them so hard they die.
Dead men tell no lies
>>32668258
Kill 'em, and if they don't have a weapon, place a knife on them before the cops get there, you fucking casual.
