Am I stupid for not being able to recognise guns (mainly rifles) by sight?
For example, in pic related. I can see the difference between them, but if you showed me a picture of one without it being said what it is, I'd have no idea. I couldn't even tell you if it was a Mauser or an Enfield.
Is it just a case of not having an interest enough in rifles to learn, or do some people just recognise different shit easier? I'm not too bad with pistols for example.
Am I just missing something completely obvious?
I ask because I'm also terrible at recognising faces, so I'm wondering if the two are linked.
Any general tips on how to identify them? Aside from the obvious look for a name.

Just takes time and familiarity, also helps if you own the rifle. Also autism, lots and lots of autism.

I only really recognize guns that I've handled personally, or used often in vidya gaems where they're featured prominently and with great detail

If you used Google you'd find some pretty bitchin 3D guns and DIY metal guns already out there. Also, pic related.

I'm thinking about running within the next couple weeks, and I need a kit to take with me. I have a very large bag so space isn't a huge deal, and money isn't a big deal either. What I'm looking for is a setup to live out of for a while so I can wander around. End game I need a contingency weapon to kill myself with.The problem is I don't think I have time to order a lot of things on the internet. I'm gonna need some basic stuff I could find at wal-mart or gun stores. I'm thinking like a light sleeping bag and something to start fires. Some hygiene stuff so I don't go smelling like big foot etc. I'm looking for some tips from people who have done/thought about doing similar things before.

Looking for a new hunting rifle in a middle of the road chambering. Don't know why but I have a huge hard on at the moment for full length stocks.
CZ makes pick related. I'm thinking of picking one up in .270.
Comes with a single set trigger and is sexy as hell.

Only bad thing about CZs are the proprietary, expensive magazines.
If you want one that particular model, jump on it soon. I've heard rumblings that they'll be discontinuing the Mannlicher-style stocks sometime in the near future.

HI Guys,
I have been thinking about the effectiveness of anti ship missiles given all the recent saber rattling, and to be honest the stats don't look good at all.
Defenseless target, or defenses turned off.:
94 out of 111, pHit = 84.7% for 64 ships OOA and 27 sunk
Maneuvering but otherwise defenseless target:
32 out of 67, pHit of 47.8% for 16 OOA and 12 sunk
with ECM and anti missiles: 1 hit out of 59 launches, pHit:1.7%, 1 ship sunk (HMS Sheffield due not to the warhead, but the resultant fire from extra rocket fuel)
Hell I could sail a single vessel equipped solely with ECMs, Chaff, and decoys and safely sail through the middle of a warzone. Looking at this, even if an armada came up with 100 AShMs it would only expect to have 1-2 missiles actually strike the opposing fleet. Why is this? Are ECM, Chaff, decoys really so good that AShM manufacturing cannot overcome them, expect by having the enemy turn theirs off?

The problem with OTH ASuW missiles isn't just that
You need to know where the ship is, which means unless it's within visual range of the shore, you need to see it with a platform that can also see you.
>You need to ID the enemy
>You need its range, the bearing to shoot down, and if you want a high chance of the missile actually finding the target, heading and speed
>finding this information is far harder than you'd think
Throw in what you say with the past few decades working on missile defense, and you can see why they're only a part of the tool kit and not an actual fight winner.
The US is currently doing its best now to improve the effectiveness of OTH firing through drones and sensor improvements.

Are hypersonic top down attacks better able to penetrate defenses than those agm 84 lawn mowing sub sonic piles of trash?

You'd have to know where to overfly, so targeting concerns are the same
They'd also be easy to track and shoot down simply because everyone can see them

So today I went to big 5 to pick up pic related because it's on sale for like 200 bucks and I got turned down because I have a paper ID. I just got my license changed yesterday because I got a new address and the new ID hasn't come in. Do you anons know if this really is store policy or was she just being a bitch?

Big 5 wouldn't sell me a gun because I was out of State. Even tho it's legal, company policy. So I went elsewhere.
So I could believe they are just huge faggots.

.338LM works just fine.
.50BMG works too if your target is 34" across at 1.5km+ with no breeze.

What do you use for a hard rifle carrying case? Do you have custom foam for it?
Also, does anyone have any experience with cheaper pelican-type brands? Pelicans are awfully expensive...

I've never had an issue with those $15 plastic ones from wally world or soft zipper cases for that matter. I mean if you ship or fly your weapons I can see a use, but if it goes from your safe to your truck to the range and back that's overkill.

> custom foam
oh hell yes. I cut it myself with a diy hot wire cutter. You can find plans for it on arfcom, I think.
I should have gotten two 1720s. The 1750 is about 3 " too big for anything I try to fit it into.
>>
>>32347895
I have no use for them? I've been using the soft cases for years and never had a problem, plus the fact that I have ~8 floating around plus a few of the plastic ones means I don't really need to buy any more.
