How good would a hunting rifle be in a home defense situation?
Better than your fists or a knife, worse than almost anything else
if you plan on bludgeoning them to death, not bad.
otherwise skip it.
It would be great if ever room in your house was a giant hallway with mirrors at the corners
Do you prefer black or stainless guns?
>>32477918
depends on the gun
Im a two tone kind of guy myself
>>32477918
Generally, I like stainless, gives it a little more character than the flat black of most modern guns.
When is Heckle my Cock going to start making shit in America so we can have MP7s?
For what purpose does a civillian need a mp7?

Because they have no reason not to
Just found this picture browsing the internet. I think Colt is poised to reenter the double-action revolver market for the first time since 1998.
They're resurrecting the Colt Cobra in .38 Special. It's not the Python but god damn I've been wanting a new Colt double-action forever.
theyre scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to avoid going into bankruptcy again.
new cobra, new delta elite, i wonder what else they have up their sleeve.
>>32477749
Realized the OP pic was kinda small so increased the size.
>>32477774
I welcome the return of their DA revolvers, there's no reason why they should've discontinued all of them in the first place.
They still have the Python tooling and spare parts mothballed at their manufacturing plant.

Hey /k/, I was wondering if you could help me identify two items I recently came upon:
A saber which looks fine and rustless but slightly bent (I had trouble taking it out of it's sheath).
A thick (2.5/3mm) knife/dagger that felt really sturdy.
I came upon those at my grandmother's house (which means I didn't much of an opportunity to observe/study them before leaving/without looking creepy) and she told me she got them from her uncle who apparently found those at Abidjan, no more details given.
Is anybody familiar with those and the value they could hold?

I remember reading a while ago that your traditional mid-range civilian bulletproof/kevlar vest can stop .44 magnum
Is that horseshit? What about a more expensive one? Or maybe at a certain distance you could? How about from 20 to 75 feet?
All you need to know.

>>32476415
So the larger rounds the vest are tested on are meant to be the upper limit of what it can withstand (ie the hardest it can just crack a bunch of ribs)? Meaning a JHP or JSP .44 mag round would create more force and blow slightly through, fleshwoundy-style, right?
What about if the II is shot with a .44, would it stop the momentum a lot or cause awful expansion? I'd bet it'd be a little worse than just a fleshwound, but nothing unsurvivable. The IIA would be useless, but would it getting hit with .357 cause as much destruction?
thoughts on switchblades/stilettos more specifically the newer spring assisted variety? Im thinking of getting one and possibly adding it to me EDC so is there any good pros or cons?
>>32476063
Modern autos and assisted knives are miles ahead of the older leaf spring stilettos. That said, those old ones have a character all their own.

There is a lot of crap out there. I've collected a few from various third world shitholes.
Got the new Dillon catalog over the holiday. Here's the centerfold. The Stevens "Favorite" .22
Wasted more than a few afternoons and bricks of .22 with one these for sure.

I'll bump a few random ones to keep the thread alive for more than a few minutes. Any specific requests?
If any one has the image of the "Official police Target" where all the shots are in the black rings, can you post it?

Would I fuck up the integrity of the gun by using a dremel to make a rail? I want to mount a flashlight or laser but would hate to buy one of those stupid trigger frame mounted ones.

Go for it, not like you can make it any worse.
Would drilling all the way through or just notching out the grooves be better?
>>32475672
It was a cheap CC pistol on sale. Didn't expect much. Couldn't carry my full size glock at work. Too uncomfortable.
Whats preventing someone from attaching a electric motor to one of these and basically making it full retard?

Nothing, and nothing is stopping you from making your own auto sear. It's the law that makes it illeage. Just like buying a smaller barrel for your rifle and putting it on. Don't let the feds see it.
When is the time again?

Whatever happened to the guy making this year's Summer S/k/ool photo? I think I got my best photo in years.
>>32476014
I was told this in 2015:
"Papalu is the guy who originally compiled the /k/lass photos.
Summer 2015 /k/lass photos were compiled by a substitute of papalu."
My grampa has an onld .38 special he recently found that was pretty rusty and beat up. The cylander wont open, when i push the thumb release i feel something moving inside but the cylander wont break open. Any advice?
Pic not related just a stock photo. His model id a hammerless variant
>>32474904
jesus Op. you know i hate when people post shit like this and cant bother to post a picture of the actual fucking thing theyre asking for specific and detailed answers or intructions for.
all ranting aside though. if it were me i would start by soaking the entire thing in a bucket full some kind of gun cleaning solvent. preferably something that wouldnt harm the finish
>>32474904
penetrating oil to get it open, then you can clean the rust off like you normally would
>>32474977
after that, try to field strip it down as far as you can. then throw all the parts and piecs back into a fresh tub of solvent.
wash. rinse. repeat.
as far as actual rust removal, idk.
how fucking bad is it? where did you find it? buried in the ground?

Basic concept is a detective thriller set in an open world like GTA. you play a detective tracking a serial killer, with multiple side missions do to in the meantime.
Im wondering what guns should be used? We're not looking for the next COD where you have a full arsenal, we want it to be atmospheric and un-settling with gun play to be fairly limited, but also still a functional component
what firearms and abilities should we use?
>>32474737
what period for the guns ?
WW1 ? WW2 ? cold war ? modern ?

modern time, but we dont want to be cheap with the technology and have super computers do all the investigative work
also before any mods say anything, yes this is more of a /v/ thing but theyre not nearly as helpful and you know it
