Tell me about some good options for .45 ACP, /k/. I only have any substantial knowledge about 9mm handguns and shotguns, so this is new territory for me.
My friend has a 1911 he let me shoot and I really liked it, looking to pick one up. Not wanting a 1911 at the moment since I have one only a few minutes drive away, I want a new gun to shoot, and could maybe even make a good home defence gun.
I've been looking at an FNX 45 how are they?
>>31515021
Look to Detonics in the near future. They are hopefully releasing new lines of handguns soon.

Looks kinda small and... lumpy?

Pros: makes you look like robin hood
i dont get it
>>31514727
>blocks sun
>looks SOF
Need I say more.
>>31514727
>>no added protection
It's also light weight, and sometimes that's more important than extra protection
>>basically camo baseball cap with extra rim
I see no problem with this
>>soaked in seconds, (hypothermia anyone?)
Fucking what? Obviously if you're worried about hypothermia you'll be wearing something insulated
>>ugly???
Confirmed for shit taste
>Pros: makes you look like robin hood
Shades your head and shoulders
Keeps the sun out of your eyes
Breaks up your outline
Lightweight
Breathable

i read something once about how properly applied headgear can make the shape of a human head less obvious, which sounds beneficial
Been thinking about a mildly tacticool .308 bolt-action that can be used for hunting deer, as well as allowing me to run around innawoods and play out my sniper fantasies. Thoughts on the Remington 700 VTR? Or other suggestions?
>>31514710
I always liked the sleekness and simplicity of the monte carlo stock over the more tactical shit you see on "sniper rifles" these days
Bumping because I'm interested and have 0 knowledge
>>31514710
Stock is flimsy shit and I have a bit of a savage bias after some Remington QC problems, but would probably be okay. Take a look at a Model 10 FCP or those Tikka T3x tacs look pretty nifty.

Would /k/ survive the Crossed?

From what ive seen? The Crossed wold be in fear of /k/

Crossed is one fictional world I would absolutely not want to live in
Generic zombies and no ATF agents?
/k/ would slaughter them.
I just shot 20 rounds out of my AR after neglecting to wear ear protection, which was completely idiotic.
Have any of you ever done something similar? How long before my ear doesn't feel like it's full of water?
>>31514308
What?
>>31514308
It'll be a few days before you are completely back to normal, but you should feel better tomorrow
Try to avoid doing this again in the future
>>31514308
I shot a machine gun for 3 years without hearing protection. I have constant ringing in my ears. It has been this way for 15 years.
I can't claim shit from the Army because my exit physical reported my hearing at 100%.
Any wargaming buffs here? I'm undertaking a large-scale project and could use some help.
My goal is to create a real-time, massive naval wargame to be played on an actual board, not a computer or something. The scale is yet to be decided, but ultimately the plan is to have a 15ftx15ft table representing about 500nmix500nmi of sea. And the maps would be based on real locations, so the topography of islands and landmasses and bathymetry would also be represented if relevant (like for sub operations).
The goal is to make it incredibly realistic. The type of shit that actual navies would do prior to supercomputers who could compute these situations for them.
But the issue is that I need to come up with a way of compiling nearly every single weapon system in both the US Navy and the Chinese Navy (I intend on expanding the rules to include other major naval forces, but for now that is more than enough).
After compiling all of these weapons and stats of ships (which I will limit to what is in service now or expected to be in service within the next 5 years), I need to find a way of determining how many AShMs or other missiles make it through CIWS screens, modeling damage done to ships, etc. A part of it can be regular wargame type shit (like rolling dice) but I'd prefer to have it biased more towards realism than fair gameplay.
I've already got a system worked out on how the two sides will play at the same time, so now I'm just faced with the gargantuan task of essentially compressing the work that computers do in simulating naval combat and put it into a rulebook that can be used by players in a physical game.
>tl;dr
I'm trying to create a naval wargame that can be played on a game board, I need to find resources both on the current weapon and shipboard systems of the US and China, and also any available data on the reliability and damage of these weapon systems when they hit their target, as well as how often they make it to the target without being interdicted.
>>31514250
Just copy Harpoon and then steal the information for newer gear from CMANO.
And if this endeavor is successful, I'd like to expand it to include WWI and WWII era ships so scenarios could be played out in that way as well. In fact, it might be best if I started with that, as it is much easier to model the effects and accuracy of naval gunnery as compared to modern day missile systems, radar, CIWS, submarines, and the incredibly huge distances involved.
And if anyone is actually interested, the goal is also to have the game be about a 5v5 player game. Plenty of room for a lot more, but preferably not much less. The point being that it would be similar to a real naval structure in a fleet. An admiral commanding the force as a whole, sometimes with different divisions or squadrons commanded by, say, a rear admiral, with ships commanded by individual captains. Like I said, the game itself will be huge, played out most likely on a large open space on the floor, with those shuffleboard stick things to push around the pieces.
If I do the WWII era ship idea, it would also most likely require a lot of rulers and protractors and actual calculations for the determined speed of the enemy vessels, their bearing, range to target, etc.
Again, a large undertaking, I know. But I have a lot of free time and I've always wanted to take part in a wargame like this.

>I need to find a way of determining how many AShMs or other missiles make it through CIWS screens, modeling damage done to ships, etc.
Good luck acquiring data that is ultra-mega classified. However, according to this video, made by a fellow /k/ommando, postulates that an Aegis destroyer would be able to stop roughly 32 supersonic missiles fired directly at it, or alternatively 20 supersonic missiles fired through its of field fire. Of course, when you have multiple Aegis destroyers working together with overlapping fields of fire, those numbers go up dramatically.

I had an idea, /k/.
What if I took the most weathered, trashy mosin stocks, and filled all the cracks, dings and wear with resin like these pieces.
I work with mold making and resins, so I have enough experience to feasibly make this work
>>31514020
hell yea!
>>31514020
Do it faggot
>>31514020
Do it to a Bubba'd gun, not an original.
CC thread
Here we go again folks. Post what you carry, how you carry it, holsters, accessories, basically anything CC.
Currently carrying pic related, but I'm looking for a good IWB holster. Suggestions are highly appreciated, being CZ it seems that the gun is unfortunately limited on available options for holsters.
Also, while I'm absolutely thrilled with the gun (I bought the BD version with the decocking level) I frequently wonder if I should have gone with the HK P30SK/P2000SK.
My CCW
>>31514075
Prison carry?
P238 in the pocket, no holster necessary. I don't need a bigger gun because I have a big penis :^)
okay /k/ red pill me (if im using that right) on the m&p shield 9mm.
im about to buy one for my every day carry maybe some talon grips and an alien holster. using hornaday critical defense or z-max
OP here, i was also looking at the one with the safety.
was also thinking of .380
>>31513942
>Critical Defense/Z-Max
>not Critical Duty
>not Gold Dot
>not HST
>not Winchester Defend/Defender/PDX1
It's like you don't want to shoot carjackers through the door.
It's thin and the capacity is decent once you upgrade with Mag Guts. I like mine.
>>31514023
Isnt critical defense made for short barrels and critical duty for full size?
What is a better SHTF/general utility firearm, a long rifle chambered in .308 or 9MM?
Neither. If you want a "do it all" then split the baby and go 223.
>>31513878
.308 penetrates body armor.
The correct answer is a 12ga.
But, if you had to choose between those two, it depends on the circumstances.
Is it a survival situation? .308
Is it an oppressive/police state situation? 9mm
The reasons for which should be obvious.
Can anyone recommend a good suppressor cover for a semi auto 556?
I was going to go with Armageddon but I'm open to suggestions.
None. Because using them on anything more than a bolt gun or precision rifle is just advertising the fact you are fucking retarded.
>>31514074
lol
You're half right. A person completing a task is afforded parameters. Outside of their mission, you are 100% correct.

K-State anon back again. In the last two threads we created the second poster in pic related as a response to the first poster in pic related.
Yesterday I passed out response papers to professors who have the anti-gun posters on their doors.
Today I gave away my posters, the response papers, safety tip fliers, and a FAQ sheet in the plaza outside of the university student union.
Most of the responses were good. A lot of the people seemed willing to listen to what I had to say regardless of where they were on the issue. I was able to give out a lot of information and a decent number of people took posters.
Pic related is the set up I had in the plaza. A friend of mine joined me behind the table for most of the time. I sat out there for about three hours talking to people.
Pic related is the information that was on the response papers.
Pic related is what was on the FAQ sheets.
Are you prepared to never see this on your doorstep ever again? Are you ready to pay a bunch of fees, go through a background check, obtain a permit, AND pay outrageous prices for ammo?
Dear commiefornia gun owners,
Please stay in your state and wallow in the shit you allowed to happen.
Sincerely, every other non shitty state.
I wasn't ready to deal with that, so I left the state.
