so there I was, standing in the machine shop. I went full aspie and decided to manually turn the chamfers on my work piece manually... literally, as in turning the chuck by hand and cutting the chamfers, when I thought, "what's to stop us from making a fucking RIDICULOUS anti material-esque caliber like .468 or something and custom rifles to fit it for the purpose of mixing anti-material with prescision? imagine a three quarter inch hole in the target you fired a nearly 500 thousandths wide projectile at. an Ideas? information of

I'm having somewhat of a hard time getting brass jacketed ammo for my mauser. The only ranges nearby don't allow steel ammo and almost every place I look only has expensive ammo for it. I recently just bought pic related for $14.99 and that's the cheapest I could find. Anybody have anything better? Also, general thread to bitch about getting ammo and sharing places you go

Sup /k/. I'm back. Not sure how many of you remember this but a few months ago I posted a helical magazine for a rifle I was designing off of the ar15 platform. Well things changed. I figured the m14 was going to work better for my ideas.
This is where you fellas come in. I need original full on schematics for every part of the M14. I can't seem to find them online, and I don't want to have to buy a micrometer and measure my M14 manually so I can 3D model it.
Dump me your rifle schematics ploxz

This thread likely won't survive long enough, but I have some M14 stuff on my home computer. Will try and post tomorrow but at the GF's house tonight.
I moved into a house recently and decided to buy my first gun for defense but also to have fun with. I picked up a maverick 88 for 170 and have been having more fun than I imagined. My question to you is how can I round out my collection with a rifle and handgun without spending over 200 ish on each. If that's possible. Any advice is appreciated.

Nice gun. Where did you get an 88 for 170? If you want a combat rifle I suggest buying an AR-15 chambered in 2.23 x 5.56. It's over your budget but well worth it. You won't get much for $200 on a handgun or rifle.
>>
>>31894114
>>31894224
Also, something you should know is the round you will use for self defense. you don't want to use something that will go through you walls and into your neighbors. I'd suggest looking into this on youtube/google to decide which round is best for you. Personally I live in an apt complex so if I used a slug to defend my home, it will definitely go through the attacker, and through the wall. I don't want to hurt my neighbor or their kid or damage their property and get kicked out so I'm looking into ammo types that won't penetrate the wall. This video says #1 buckshot(?) is the best since it doesn't penetrate walls.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C29mEJFFIvo
>>
>>31894289
Just use normal shot like 7 1/2. Stop fucking over thinking it so much. You won't be killing anyone with the shot that misses a home intruder. #1 shot is almost pointless for HD.
>>31894114
You need a glock 19 and then some AR. Each will run around $500 with the AR maybe going up a few hundred more. Now you have babbys first funs and can start collecting more.

This is probably the best documentary on that battle of the Korean War produced till now. This is the best documentary on Battle of Chosin Reservoir.
NO Propaganda and NO accusation of human waving chinese peasant army committing Banzai charge etc, just bravery and sacrifice, suffering on both sides.
I suggest that /k/ gets fucking learned by watching that.

I remember when /k/'s hatred for /pol/ wasn't just a slackjawed reaction to everything controversial but actual rejection and fighting agaisnt stormfronters, also try having a thread about anything other then western armies on this board, you'll feel miserable afterwards.

I'm not too concerned. The weapons in this case weren't even explosive (just smoke markers). Everybody in the NLP is REEEing, and I'm in the U.P. not giving a fuck. Still pretty clumsy of the pilot/ground crew/whatever.

So let's say our friend Bob is out of time to hardcore prep for the Happening.
What are some low cost easily implemented things he can do to better his odds for impending Civil Unrest?
Examples:
>Keep car gased up and store some fuel at home, before the suspected day of happening.
>Replace burned out bulbs in security lights and clear visual obstructions in his yard.
>Secure 3-4 days of food and water ahead of happening.
>Secure any outdoor valuables i.e. propane tanks, bicycles, lawn equipment, generators etc...
What else is there that can be done with minimal effort and time to help your odds?
Bob can live anywhere within 50 miles of a major city anywhere from downtown to the sticks at the edges of Suburbia.

Concrete buildings VS medieval siege tactics.
How effective would modern concrete be against a meticulous, slow-but-sure attack from medieval-style siegecraft?
Meaning trebuchets, ballistas, attacks with fire, tunneling with hand-picks etc.
I know that ballistas in particular tended to create MASSIVE damage if constructed properly. Even against sturdiest of stone walls.
But what about concrete? i don't know much about how much deliberate punishment modern concrete can take. Especially iron-rebar reinforced conrete meant for military installations seems like it would be pretty impossible to smash through even with massive siege engines. (assuming they don't have engine-powered tractors or explosives.)
I mean, lot's of modern places have been built to be "riot proof" but what if you would have an organised army of relatively talented medieval engineers and craftsmen? Any engineers here that could enlighten me on this matter?

Modern, unreinforced concrete is more vulnerable to medieval siege weapons than old the old stone fortifications intended to resist said siege weapons. Catapults and trebuchets would fuck a concrete building up. Concrete's advantage is how easy it is to work with, you can make a complicated structure far more quickly than old stonemasonry. As in, the besiegers could breach your concrete wall only to find that while they did that you put up a second wall behind the first.
As for ballistae, didn't the Romans use them like big fuckoffish sniper rifles?

Depends if you mean ordinary apartment or specialy made military installation. Ordinary apartments will get breeched but 3m thick walls bunkers will survive long enaugh.

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of military-grade steel-wireframe reinforced city walls. The kind what you see on old coastal bunkers.
or maybe in that wall that Israelis did on palestinian lands.
