What's the best sword to use? I have a katana and a war axe and a few hundreds. Anything appreciated. Also, knifle accepted. Want to have a sword and gun in one if possible.
>>34849347
depends, what do you want to do with it? sword development is very much related to armour development, highland broadswords and sabres were the last kinds of swords used by western nations, and represent the peak of western sword development, but they were very much products of their context.
>>34849950
This^
honestly sabres and such are probably the best ones to use as people don't typically run around in full gambeson and chain/plate mail anymore. Plus they're relatively light and simple to use.
>barring some kind of crime/robbery at a Renaissance Fair
I learned that post WWII all aircraft internationally use knots for speed and feet for altitude, except the Russian military uses meters for altitude, iirc.
What have you recently learned, /k/?
>>34849040
>being so far behind the times that you dont know that naval travel in the west is measured in knots
protip modern ships also dont literally stream a rope behind and count the knots, its just a simple conversion from mph/kmh
and every nation worth a shit uses meters for altitude and for non-naval distances (including aircraft)

Now if you excuse me I need to check my sundial. I believe it's 6:37 AM about now.

thank you for this information anon. i will try to apply it in my life
Recilisib Sodium
First I want to say this thread is about response to nuclear WEAPONS. Recilisib is an injectable and oral prophylactic/treatment made for helping cancer patients taking radiation treatment without killing beneficial cells. It was realized that an effective cure had been made for acute radiation syndrome. This drug though is supposedly a relatively nontoxic substance already passed phase 2 in other primates that can render a human immune to like more than cockroaches can take. Unlike other antirads, which usually turn down more susceptible tissues or capture free radicals while killing you in other ways, recilisib actually just seemlessly uses existing dna repair mechanisms and have them fix anything abrupt before the dna can multiply. It also is an apoptosis inhibitor. Therefore, it can reverse damage in cells older than exposure even if taken up to 3 days afterwards. In the time between, cancer can still develop. But if taken a few hours before, you pretty much could live indefinitely outside the magnetosphere. If the US does get nuked or dirty bombed by dud, I want to have enough of this stuff in my shelter if I could afford one and it should be in yours if FEMA can't get to you.
This may as well be called a miracle drug, but it may need to become part of yours and your pets food if nuclear weapons proliferate further.

Hasn't that always been a thing mostly to bind up in the thyroid with like normal ass salt?
How would you go about building an irl version of the EE-3?
Would you use the old flare gun or use something like a .44 Magnum instead?
How would you go about doing it in a way so the ATF wouldn't come kill your pets?
>>34848674
I thought it was ill eagle to turn a rifle into a pistol. Will they kill our doggos now if we turn pistols into raifus?
>>34849570
If it qualifies as an SBR, then unfortunately yeah
Why would you not be able to put a stock on a pistol?
So, do you guys think that a Replica firearm like the ones sold at hessen antique are able to be engineered to fire some kind of round? Since Australian Cops seem to think so. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-01-06/replica-firearms-surrendered/1199462
>So, do you guys think that a Replica firearm like the ones sold at hessen antique are able to be engineered to fire some kind of round
No, they're denix guns. The barrel is a solid bar with no chamber. Even if you reamed it out in order to take a round, its potmetal and will explode.
>Since Australian Cops seem to think so.
No they dont. The contention is that they look like real guns and therefore could be used in holdups.
>>34848606
this is why gun culture should be reintroduced in straya as a good time
cunts will know fake guns from real ones if we were actually given a fair go and treated like innocent people before committing a crime
bullshit they can restrict how we wish to legally hunt some deer. Keyword is legal. Legal citizen. Follows the rules. Fuck

If it's not made by colt it's not an ar15

Howdy. /k/, I need a little help as to where I can hopefully get closer to finding a first big firearm purchase. I want a rifle that will last me years and has some history to it. I like early Russian designes and would like to be open to any suggestions y'all might have for me.
>>34848181
Like an SKS?
Just about all rifles have a lot of history behind them.

Id ring his belly button with a .45 round
i have a japanese world war 2 arisaka that has the serial number '33333'
is repeating serial numbers worth more?
>>34847665
Maybe a few extra dollars but only for novelty. The autistic/OCD types may pay a little more than that, but YMMV.
That being said, I know some gun dealers that would triple the price because of "muh repeatin numbers."
An intact mum, IMO, is worth more than the serial numbers.
How does an open bolt SMG with a fixed firing pin prevent primer strikes if a round jams with the bolt out of battery?
>>34847200
it doesn't
this is a problem inherent with open bolt SMGs, but is tolerated since they're so cheap to make
The firing pin isn't in position directly over the primer yet.
Normally it is not lined up with the firing pin. Only when the bullet is in the chamber is the bullet lined up for the firing pin.
Pantsu for your raifu.
Has the accessory market gone too far?
*concern*
>No shimapan
>the tac sac exists
i dont think its gone far enough
Yes. I am an inebriated man, who has no direction in life and will probably end up dead before my prime, and yes! I can honestly say, pantsu for your mag is the worst fucking idea anyone has ever had.
So how does /k/ manipulate their triggers? Trigger reset, trigger reset anticipation, constant contact?
>>34846903
Apply steady force straight back until the trigger breaks. Let the trigger forward until you feel it click. Repeat as necessary.

Missouri guys, let's shoot. There's a Discord. Mokmeet at aol for invite link.
I can make it.

Sweetness. Are you in the Discord?
Question about ieds in places like Afghanistan. It's something that I always wondered. Are IED's placed strategically like in or around villages or are they literally everywhere, even in the middle of the desert? Do soldiers/marines know when to be looking out for them and when not to be or is it a 24/7 everywhere and everything can be an IED. Even you can be an IED.
>>34846593
bumpin with /k/ pr0n
They're placed strategically. At choke points, entrances to compounds, on roads patrols are known to cross, etc.
As for knowing when/where, it depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, yeah, anything can be an IED.
And another one
Let's see your arsenals.
Mine's getting there.
