The Pentagon’s increasingly eclectic Defense Innovation Advisory Board has reached full strength, with celebrity astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson


Do you think an innovation board with members like Neil degrasse tyson is a good weapons development plan?

I hope this is in preparation for Black Science Man to explain the Pentagon's energy weapons or force shields.

No. Tyson is a fucking celebrity and doesn't know shit about national defense. He is very liberal and will probably tell us we should abolish our nuclear stockpile. I want to be a physicist myself and I don't listen to him much. He is humble but there are certain subjects he should not be commenting on.

Ash Carter has done nothing right during his term. He's adding unnecessary bureaucracy and unwanted social policies.

So /k/ what is the best way to learn gunsmithing and is it a viable career path?

Just become a machinist.

No, it is not a viable career path. If you want shit pay and boring work, then being a gunsmith is the perfect job for you. Get a STEM degree instead.

Is there any actual purpose or advantage to a fixed stock? Is it just cheaper? Or .001% less likely to be broken by Marines?

Building first AR soon and wanna know if there is any reason to consider a full stock. On a 20" barrel will a light, adjustable stock make the weapon feel front heavy and oddly balanced?

I like it for CQB purposes as well as storage, otherwise I keep it fully extended. Most people try to bring it down a notch or two which is pretty retarded imo.

Recoil wise it's nothing. You could brace the stock on your ball sack and mag dump without feeling any pain.

5.56 out of a 16"-20" barrel does a disproportionate amount of damage to the person at the other end, so it's still a good rifle.

AR-15.

>>30770452
As many AR-15 lowers as you can possibly afford. Worry about the rest later.

Handguns might be good too, but they've already pretty much proved unbannable.

Because of the fact that the A 10's 30mm cannon isn't really viable against modern tanks, but is still fuckhueg in terms of weight and size, would it hypothetically, ever be feasible ever in the future to replace the giant 30mm Gatling with something along the lines of the 120mm smoothbore cannon of the abrams tanks. This would give it the ability to take down modern 1st world tanks like the t90, and also would presumably extend its range and increase its accuracy, seeing as kills with similar cannons have been recorded at ridiculous questions.

The only reasons I can think of are the expense of having to modify a cannon and add an autoloader that fit inside the A10 chassis, and the potential shock on the airframe of firing such a large gun, but the warthog is supposedly an extremely resilient aircraft, so I'm clueless as to the effect this would have.

If we can strap a 75mm to a B-25 and the Germans can put a Pak-40 on a Hs.129, we can stick a 120mm on a A-10. The problem is accuracy. You gotta be CLOSE to hit with that one shot.

Cobrays have a bit of a shoddy reputation (mostly from their strange and chintzy lineup), but a lot of that comes from the shitty Zytel (synthetic) magazines they come with, if you can get some proper metal mags for it, the gun should run alright.

The MPA guns tend to be alright as far as I know (they seem to be higher quality than some of the older makers), they come with plastic Tapco mags which apparently are alright, but metal mags should work if you can get them (I don't know if these Tapco mags work in the Cobray, by the way)

As far as range blasters go, an M-11/9 pistol is a pretty good choice, fun to plink with, the beauty of a range toy is that there's no need for practicality.

It's to keep the bullets charged. soldiers don't often use their sidearms so the bullets can die from not being used.

So to prepare for the up and coming race war, we should be prepared - even in Canada.
What's the best weapon defending against other armed fighters to get in Canada.
Norinco 97? C7 if I can find one? SKS? Unclipped Mossberg 915?

In urban fighting, is a rifle even worth it? Realistically, shouldn't a revolver be better in terms of ease of usage and reload-ability?

What ever happened with these things? They used to be all over 60 mins, popular mechanics, the news etc over a decade ago but I don't seem to see too much about them anymore.

Were they a successful design? Do troops trust them? Are they going to be useful moving into the future?

They turned out to be decent vehicles with no critical issues, so the media got bored talking about it.

>>30769969
Pretty much.

They implemented supplemental armor fairly easily and don't really have any serious safety issues.

I have no idea how easy they are to repair or what the logistical chain for them looks life, I imagine it's better than the USMC LAV-25s though.

What kind of engines do Strykers have in them? I know LAVs have a Detroit 6v53T and a Cummins 653.

Building an 80% AR for my first AR because I live in a shithole I can't buy an AR in.

Any build recommendations? Preferably a parts kit with high quality internals/a good barrel.

>also considering an 80% 1911, but only considering; if any other 80% pistol blanks you would recommend, please feel free to do so

Recommendations/insight welcome.

Picked up a Russian tula SKS for 400 today, missing bayo and cleaning rod, otherwise very good condition and a spotless bore. I feel like that's a fair price, or did I pay too much?

Replacement bayonets are hard to find, any tips in that direction?
