Post elephant guns, discuss elephant guns.
Pic related is Teddy Roosevelt's very own Adolf double rifle in .450/500.
This reminds me I need to buy Selous' books about Africa. The mid to late 19th century was such an interesting time.

best i can do is a double barrel 12 gauge converted to 45-70.
You have 5 seconds to tell me why you dont have tbe absolutely ESSIENTAL pair of tactical tweezers as part of your loadout RIGHT NOW.
How the fuck can you even operate without these titanium grippers?
>>34879360
Because I'm not a faggot.

You will be after i tweeze off your testes
I have a pair of tweezers on my swiss army knife.
They're probably the thing I use most on them.

Ballsacks!
Suppose you're designing a new blowback carry pistol (pic related).
Assuming an optimal bullet design for all, which of these four calibres should it be chambered in?
>31gr .22 @ 2350 fps (~400 FPE, basically 5.7x28)
>95 grain 9mm @ 920 fps (~180 FPE, basically .380 ACP)
>78 gr .45 @ 1160 fps (~230 FPE)
>165 gr .45 @ 550 fps (~110 FPE)
>But OP, where are you pulling those numbers from? Your ass?
The 31 gr .22 is just a standard 5.7x28 loading (SS190), as is the 95 grain 9mm (Winchester Ranger .380 ACP).
I really wanted to see what a .45 bullet could do in a blowback gun, so I started looked at the 78 gr Liverty and 165 Federal bullets - lightweight, for maximum muzzle velocity/energy.
Eventually I found that the practical bolt/slide weight on a blowback pistol is about 1.1lbs give or take (see source below), so I used that to do some maths.
Using a .95 bolt/calibre ratio (pretty reasonable for the listed pistol calibes), these bullets would wind up having a maximum velocity of 1166 and 551 fps, respectively, so I rounded that down and calculated the muzzle energy from that.
By the same formula, a standard 230gr .45 bullet could only go about 395fps (80 FPE!) out of a blowback gun, before either slide velocity becomes too high, or you need a Hi-Point-tier slide.

Alright /k/ I need your help
I just got this Jap parade saber for dirt cheap, but the handle is really loose. I need to disassemble it but I have no idea how. If any of you lads have a clue I'd appreciate the help
>>34877623
The end cap
>>34877623
there were several ways of handle attachment, some used rivets, other just glue, some screwed the whole thing at the pummel
you should carefully determine how it wast attached as to not damage it
>>34877629
Is that thing in the middle just the tang peened out or something? Couls you juat hammer it some more to tighten it up?
What have you done recently to ensure your proficiency with your life support tools /k/? Me? Well I took a Long Gun Cover and Movement, as well as a Handgun Cover and Movement class. Great way to learn some great info, and shake out some gear.
I've taken pistol classes with Tom Givens, Ernest Langdon, Mike Pannone and did a course with Dark Angel Medical
>>34879429
Nice! I have done Dark Angel training as well. Who were your instructors?
I wanna get into the night vision game, but I'm lost. Now there is black and white night vision?
>>34876892
I mean, kind of, it's more like a blueish green, or vice versa, apparently it shows contrast better and is less straining on the eyes than the standard green phosphor tubes. Ummm, get gen 3, preferably autogated because it will not damage the tubes if you happen to see any bright light sources, and even then it sometimes isn't necessary, BUT just to be on the safe side, and it costs like nothing more. For $3,000 you can easily get into PVS-14's, for no more than $8,000 you should get into a good set of Gen 3 dual tube goggles such as the BNVD, AB nightvision Mod 3, used PVS-15, or something like an AVS-9, or a ruggedized variant of it.
Beyond that, you'll of course want to go for a helmet mount, a dovetail socketed mount would be best, and that's really all there is to it besides discussing green vs white phosphor, or whether you need or want a monocular or dual tube, or manual gain.
Buy the best tube you can afford. Even if that means saving up longer.
Ideally your tube, as graded on the manufacturer spec sheet should have 72 line pairs resolution and a signal to noise ratio of 19:1.
L3 and ITT tubes are where it's at.
If you're gonna go with a pvs-14 you can get the standard green screen or the white phosphor tubes. If you're going binocular, get white phosphor. The increased contrast makes a huge difference in perception.
There are positives and negative's to a single tube set up and I dual tube set up.
Single tube allows for better transition through mixed light environments, or if you have to suddenly transition to white light.
Dual tube Systems allow for easier processing by your brain, and the make you look bad ass which we all know is the most important part.
No matter what I recommend Wilcox mount systems, and the device needs to be mounted directly to your helmet.
Watch some of John Lovell's Warrior Poet YouTube videos... he's got some really good videos on NV and lasers.
/k/ is there any reason not to buy a 2.5-10x56 Trijicon Accupower?
The huge objective seems like it'd let a lot of light in, and the weight/bulk isn't a concern for the rifle I'm putting it on.
>>34876684
>The huge objective seems like it'd let a lot of light in
More to do with coating than anything else these days.
Honestly, Trijicon's variable power offerings have always been rather underwhelming.
>>34876684
I was going to say price, but I looked it up and it's not that expensive. Go for it.
>>34876729
The price seemed pretty reasonable for Trijicon, so I was wondering if there are other brands I should consider.
So.

Hey /k/, I'm from leafland and I want to know what the best civilian anti-riot tier gun/ammunition is available to me.
SVT with a bunch of stripper clips and one of your shitty pinned mags, since finding multiple mags that function in an SVT is nearly impossible

Can't you get an SKS? I know you have woods nearby.
Could I legally put a pistol brace on an AOW? Pic related.

No

Dont bother on the wait time for an AOW transfer and buy this stamp free.

Is the armor of Halo marines so great that it can block the 12.7mm x 40mm ammo of the magnum?
I can suspend my disbelief that future recoil systems can make it so the average marine can fire it, but what about the ones who eat it to the chest?
>>34876142
Does XCOM count?
>>34876446
Yes, anything sci-fi and war/weapons related counts.
