Why does every modern warship need to have a flight deck and aviation hanger? This shit takes up so much space that could be used for something else. Imagine if they removed the aviation facilities in this picture and replaced them with weapons. They could have a good-sized VLS bank plus an extra gun facing backwards for swarm defense. The possibilities are endless.

>But Anon, the Freedom-class NEEDS aviation facilities to perform its role!

That's very debatable, but even if we accept that, what about other ships? Why does the Arleigh Burke need a helicopter to do its job? If they deleted the aviation hanger and the flight deck from the Burkes, they'd easily be able to carry 125+ VLS cells and a secondary 127mm gun facing backwards for extra defense against incoming missiles. Hell, they could even put in a mine-laying station in they wanted for instant area denial. Or maybe a 270mm MLRS for land-attack. The possibilities are endless.

Because ASW is a thing, and it is nice to be able to transfer personelle and supplies or run scouting operations without having to use tiny RHIBs or put a multi-billion dollar warship in danger.

Ameribros pls tell me one thing, you can only buy guns that are manufactured in the US, right? So foreign companies produce every component in the US or do the produce them overseas and assemble them there?

Also, do new companies have to create a factory somewhere in the US if they want to sell to the American market or can they just subcontract and put their name on?

Very much appreciated if someone can answer me these questions.

whoever told you that is wrong though. The laws regarding importation of arms is a bit more complex than that
>>
>>31218319
No there are plenty of imported weapons, but they have strict guidelines to adhere to. They can't have certain features when imported and need to have a "sporting purpose" and certain County are banned from important, like Russia. Also a certain amount of parts in the weapon must be US made.
>>
>>31218319
No, people import guns all of the time. The problem is the "scary ones" get blocked from import.

Could they theoretically convert AutoOrdinance repros with some jiggering (the trigger assemblies seem very similar to the originals), or would they have to be built from scratch?

Preffered knife? Why?

Me I like the karambit because of it's hooked design, makes it very useful in cutting things open, it's also quite good at reaching just where the heart and lungs are. It's original design was made for two reasons, to cut sacks of grain open, and to get in between the ribs to get to the heart. I personally jsut think it's badass as fuck.

Hey, /k/, was wondering if there were any options for thumb release grips for Maks other than pic related. (I think the "tacticool" look destroys the Maks charm.)

I know they have a patent, but I was wondering if maybe someone could home make one using a bakelite grip, and if there might be a place I could either send a commission or maybe even get some instructions.

Do you think I could buy the grip, gut it's parts, and just fit them into a target bakelite grip with some dremel work?

I would buy a better gun.

It's a piece of shitty Soviet surplus, if "ruining" the look of your poorfag pistol triggers your autism, get a gun that won't and leave the Mak at home.

i don't give a shit about shitty maks but i think its funny how much the IDF uses FAB and CAA products.

I don't think you could fit it into the bakelite grips. I don't know for sure, but bakelite seems it might be brittle and crack if you did something wrong. Even if it's not, they're way too thin to fit much in. You should probably try making your own special wood grips.

LG 431 with markup.jpg
461KB, 1912x948px
I have a Ruger LCP, and a Crimson Trace LG-431. I'd like to install a small forward facing white-light LED in addition to the laser. It seems that this is possible using the same pressure switch, battery and driver used for the laser/photodiode.

Right now, it seems plausible that I could install the LED in series or parallel with the laser diode, if the operating voltages are similar enough to get reliable operation.

However, I have poor intuition about such matters, and I understand that even minor and transiently exceeding the voltage and current limitations of diodes can damage them (to the point where a multi-meter could fry the device).

I've got the housing opened (pic related), and I'm ready to begin interrogating the circuit to figure out how much voltage I have to work with reaching the laser diode, and whether swapping out different cells will alter the voltage reaching the diode (starting by lowering available voltage from the battery compartment).

Does anyone with a better understanding of these topics have a better idea?

More technical specifications to follow.

Crimson Trace LG-431:
Battery:
Manufacturer Recommended:
1x 1/3N Lithium (3V, 11.6x10.8mm)

Possible alternatives to alter available voltage:
SR54: 11.6x3.1, 1.55V (4.65V Max)
SR55: 11.6x2.1, 1.55V (7.75V Max)
365/366,S16,608: 11.6x1.65, 1.55v (9.3V Max)

Laser:
Output: ~5mW
Wavelength: ~650nM
Operating Voltage: Unknown, need to check.
Constant Voltage Driver: Unknown, need to check.

Switch:
Pressure Operated, connected to Laser housing via PCB ribbon. Not amenable to modification outside of housing.

You could probably do a series circuit hookup off of the laser diode, and change that battery for a similar sized 6v. I think there are some that go into pet collars and shit. Just gotta do some browsing. Without knowing the resistance of the diode and the LED, I can't say for sure whether it'll be too much or not enough juice in the current battery. You just have to do some tinkering with it, OP.

>You could probably do a series circuit hookup off of the laser diode, and change that battery for a similar sized 6v.

It seems the sky is the limit for available voltage.

We can easily get 9.3V using a stack of 365/6 watch batteries -- maybe with one SR55/391 to get the rights spacing to avoid needing to shim the battery compartment.

Do you mean karambits or just curved blades in general?

For karambits, the ring lets you hold onto the knife while doing other stuff. Historically, they were used to harvest rice stalks and then let you tie the stalks together without having to drop the knife. Basically the ring gives you good retention of the knife.

Karambits are kind of like the katanas of the knife world. Decent for what the time and place they were created, but not amazing as some people say and not as shit as others say in reaction to the people who overhype them.

They're pretty good for rapidly slashing somebody to ribbons. But there are far more effective designs.

I got one for maximum edging ... rainbow colours ... it fits my hand well ... but i woulndt use it over my hunting knife..

Its a very good package opener and for scraping dirt off under my nails ... thats it..
Sucks for cutting .. literally 30 cm less "range" than a proper knife ...

Imho its really just edgeing...

I obvsly havent fought with it ... but even if i got into a situation like that id probably just use it as palm support for punching .. you are very limited with cutting/stabbing motions compared to a normal knife...
