95% of hunters have never attempted to hit a target outside of 100 yd, so it depends on the conflict.
Urban setting? It would be a problem for soldiers, especially considering most large hunting calibers will penetrate everything but level 4 armor
Dense woods? Problem for soldiers considering short engagement distances
Open areas with engagement distances beyond 100 yd? Soldiers efficiently exterminate the insurgents with suppressive fire and air/arty support

So basically the same thing that happens overseas

>>31836769
This desu senpai

Also note that fudd rifles would not be superior in any respect at those engagement distances to spoopy black assault carbines with scopes other than firing stiffer rounds.

>>31836731
>Would fudd guns make good weapons of war?
yes

>Would a division of American hunters make good snipers in the event of a war on American soil?
No

im noguns whats this?

>>31836508
TT -33 Russian copy of an early John Browning pistol. Ten million made.
Its surplus ammo will go through level three armor because it was steel core. Its insides come out in one piece so its simple to clean. Its dam near perfect

Do you just not like having fingers?
You're likely into proof load pressures and with that much variation it's impossible to be safe.

New to reloading, and I'm starting out with my AR since I shoot it the most.

I've been catching all my Hornady brass, which is all .223. My bullets are 65gr Sierra game kings. I have yet to find a Sierra load online that uses their bullets with CFE223 powder, but my Hornady manual covers 60gr and 68gr in 5.56. Is it (reasonably) safe to start ladder testing from the Hornady 60gr and work my way up from there?

Also, regarding accuracy testing, is it better to control for a standard low powder load while varying COL first, or do you keep COL the same and vary powder loads first?

>>31836364
Is this the .38/200 Webley or the .455 Webley? Because Autocomp tends to be for larger caliber/magnum level cartridges. Or am I underestimating how stupid your decisions have been thus far?

You're not alone. The steel frame is why I like the cz 75.

Its difficult to describe, but on a completely polymer pistol, you feel a warping.

Polymer is a meme for anything other than carry guns. Polymer fags need to get the fuck out and realize the mass of a steel frame helps attenuate recoil in service pistols.

>>31836043
this isnt a polymer vs steel frame thing
this is a how well the gun fits your hand thing

your hands are too small for a doublestack or your grip isnt consistent so you get side to side movement since you have to readjust after each shot

WELL! I honestly didn't know this was a thing... Magnum Research M1911s. Huh. Well I love the M1911 design, and I thank OP for bringing this to my attention. The more M1911s the merrier!

>>31835666
I own one and love it. I wouldn't carry anything else.

>>31836035
Better watch out, friendo. According to some around these parts, you're carrying what's essentially the equivalent of a flintlock pistol. Be careful with your 'outdated' hardware.

Have you tried calling to se if its come in?

>>31835667
Ive called twice but they just have some old fart who could care less tell me its not in yet.

>>31835731
>shopping at a gun store with old people

Found your problem. Who the fuck did they order it from? Almost all distributors ship stuff <3 Day for free, sans ammo. Did you prepay for it?

Why do you need a compensator?

The factory Glock finish is already super hard and rust resistant, and you'd get to keep it if you didn't spend $2000 getting a bunch of useless bullshit work done to your innocent Glock.

Seriously I've thought about getting my Glock cerakoted before, but when I found out they had to bead blast the factory finish off before doing cerakote, I changed my mind, because I'd rather just have the factory Glock finish.

Just a thought. Also check the sticky

>>31835576
Try the turkshit like Sarlsimaz or Tristar. Excellent firearms, except their govt may may give money to ISIS.

>>31835603
>>31835670
Thanks. I did check the sticky, just forgot to mention it.

I don't think you understand the soviet and former soviet train of thought for production.

>then don't change it

>>31835545

Cheap. Simple. Reliable.

It was also "good enough" for its intended role.

>>31835545
Two Makarovs I had a chance to inspect at LGS had the shittiest pull I've ever seen on a gun (too long, way too stiff, not quite gritty but struggling). Was it just my luck, or all of them are like that?

Stopped buildin em. They're gonna make a new one soon.

>>31835497

Sure....

I'm still waiting on much Comanche attack heli

RIP

Well. A TBM is more important than a pseudo stealth Hind 2.0

You have multiple arrows

Why do you need to do that?
>maintainence-intensive
They're extremely easy to make. You're not in a war, you're in a home protection situation.

>>31835383
The action is fragile as fuck and last I checked the draw isn't that great. It's worse than a 30 lbs bow (aka kiddie bow)

You might get a lucky hit in the eyes and whatnot but if the attackers wear heavy clothing (or just being fat), I'd imagine it would be useless

An original idea, but the execution is lacking and lazily done. Needs significant improvement.
4/10.

No experience with the para models but I love love love my full size PSL. Shot this 5rd group the other day.

A vepr with a 16-20 inch barrel is better in every way except mag capacity

Flimsy barrel is flimsy.

Also, due to the twist rate only certain types of ammo can be used.

I love the look, but it's just not worth the money.
