China simply because they would use similar tactics but China has more man power, and maybe even better kit and equipment.

>>32195075
I think China has a vastly superior armed forces to Russia. Russians are all fetal acohol syndrome drunks and have nothing smart but potato. Chinese military is growing to be strongest in world with missiles capable of destroying entire carrier group.

Bows have a certain stealth to them I guess. They'll kill the shit out of anything if you've got a good shot.

>>32195308

The only way you're killing anything with a bow with stealth is if you score a headshot, like dead center of the brain.

Otherwise you'll have a guy screaming his lungs out because an arrow got embedded on them. I don't know if you've ever hunted with bows, but its usually a pain in the ass if you dont get the headshot because you'll end up tracking the prey for hours

Honestly at that point it comes down to practice time and ammo.

-Consider upgrading to a better bipod if you're not resting it on a sandbag. An Atlas is probably the best out there, but a Harris Bipod works if you're trying to cut costs.

-Next, Ammo. If you really want to punch dime sized groups you either have to start handloading or pay out the ass for Match Ammo. Federal Gold Medal Match, Hornady Match, or Black Hills are all commercially available that will definitely do the job. Stick to 62/69/77gr bullets if you want to push it out past 300 yards with repeated accuracy.

-If you really want to splurge you can send it in to a barrel company like Krieger and upgrade it to a heavy stainless 20" or something similar for extra rigidity and better velocity. Don't go past 22-24" honestly, a .223 won't really benefit from any additional length beyond that and will simply make it a pure bench queen and nothing else.

If it's made with low-end parts and you consistently score sub-MOA I'd say that you've done a pretty good job, especially considering it looks pretty cool, never thought about fitting a DMR with that kind of 'perforated barrel-shroud' looking free-floating fore-end.

Grenade at 1m will hit you with both blast and frag sufficient to kill.
AntiPersonnel mine is commonly about 50g HE and primarily blast. Most don't have much frag as modern practice is to use a plastic body to aviod metal detectors. Possibly survivable at 1m as burying the mine will only give blast effects in a cone upwards
Anti-tank Mine. Usually 1-2kg HE and some frag from metal body = you're fucked.

>>32194573
a land mine wont explode if your 1 meter away from it. ergo a grenade is more dangerous

If you don't mind kind of dated 90s military Sci Fi, SAAB is a good choice. Last I checked it was all up for free on youtube.

That's a fine shop friend.

Are there any aftermarket curly q barrels for the ar15 platform?

>denied in Maine
Literally how? do you have a felony or are you a Muzzie?

>>32193224
Most likely scenario is that your name is similar to someone who is on the NICS list.
Do you know if it was a true denial or just a delay and tour FFL mixed up the response?
Did you list you SSN on the 4473?

I had the same thing happen. I didn't even know what to do after I was denied.

I still haven't figured out how to fix it and this was in may. Apparently it's illegal for you to have a gun after being denied unless you can fix it so I wouldn't try a private sale.

At least that's to the best of my knowledge. Had a lawyer look into it but he was only interested because potential lawsuit could be had.

For all your .treefiddyseven needs.

Break action snubb? I need this.

Dude i know.
I just pulled that off google but its sweet.

I like your style

>>32192533
Bumping with interest. I'm planning to buy one as soon as taxes come in.

Do you think a small person could effectively CC it? I prefer a small of the back carry, about 7:00

Right now my only gun is a shitty Jennings .380, it was all I could afford.

>>32192699
Literally anything is going to be better than that, but I'd look at used autoloaders over a revolver.

>>32192753
I'm specifically looking for a revolver. I like them, and I love .357. Besides, all the reviews I've read have said it's quite good for the price.

And the Jennings I have isn't quite as bad as their reputation. It's the T380-ca, which is kind of their extra bulky model. It looks like a 9mm at a quick glance--it has the height and width of a midsize 9, but it's as thin as a pocket .380. Perfect for the kind of CC I like.

Get a Colt or a Ruger, or an RIA if you want one of the 10mm doublestack monsters.

>>32192421
They're great.
Springfield is probably the equilibrium point of cost/quality as far as 1911s go.

I want one too. But I wouldn't buy one. If I was going to get a PDW i'd get one on an easy to find caliber because if I threw down the money, i'd shoot the ever loving fuck out of it. I'd carry it in my car. I'd crap with it slung around my neck. I'd play with my kids at the park and clear those creepy public park bathrooms for them. Every. Single. Time. Every time they even looked like they needed to piss, daddy's kicking in stall doors. I'd take it hunting. I'd get close enough to a deer to use it even if I had to soak in a hot tub of doe piss and lay ass up in some tall grass.

My point is. Buy a gun you can use.

>>32192312
I rented one, t thought the trigger was shit and I hate this whole trend in guns, speaking generally, of the sights being a foot above the bore.

It's neat gun but it needs a better trigger and round.

I would have bought one when they were down to 1k, but I didn't know that was a thing.

1400+ is more than I think it's worth, plus the SBR stamp and parts I would want to get.

>>32192176
You could have had one on black friday for less than $500
