Why do people not like this thing

Isn't it way bigger than kangaroolands previous subs

>>30663218
Nope, Collins class is 4500t, Shortfin is "more than 4000t".

>>30663275
Is it not an SSN with no N? I thought it would be bigger

>>30662869
As long as the bore is good then don't worry.

>>30662882
No I decided to not bid m8.

Unless you just really have to have a 308, I would get a No4 for a little less in the same condition.

I have an Ishapore 2A and never really cared for it much, it and SMLEs don't really speak to me like No4s do.

Big round-faced bullets making big holes will generally speaking provide more stoopin powah than a spitzer point like 5.56. You need big holes and lots of hydrostatic shock to get true "stopping power" especially for bears. Hell, factory loads of .45-70 compatible with the Springfield trapdoor aren't much hotter than hot loaded .44 magnum and they almost drove the American bison to extinction from single shot rifles.

As to recoil, look at the size of the cartridges. Do you see how much more powder and primer is in the .44 magnum cartridge? That directly translates to felt recoil.

>>30662675
Nope. There is no such thing as a foot pound. It's bullshit made up by ammo manufacturers a long time ago. Sorry.

>How can we weaponize Pokemon GO?
The govt already is. It is uploading all the video from the camera while you try to catch pokeman, so they can fabricate 'turrist' attacks at CGI headquarters.

Why do you think all these cellphone videos released are fuck potato-tier quality, when 1080i has been standard video recording on smartphones for YEARS now?

>>30662668
>1080i
>i

Literal trash

if you use pocket monsters GO then you're a filth retarded normalfag and should die asap

The threads for the buffer tube would be the hardest part to carve but it would be harder than a polymer lower, not as strong as a forged or billet I'm guessing.

>>30662358
I was thinking about that rite now it would be best to just leave it un threaded. Also i might as well go full 100 percent except for the threaded buffer part

>>30662256
TL;DR: Yes, kind of, to a point. Try it, but read up a little before you do (pic related). Also, I'm sorry for jargon but there's no other way to keep the post short.

The metallurgy here is a little difficult to get right; you're likely to end up with something that's weak and even porous unless you seriously think about how the casting cools in the mold and carefully select a casting alloy of aluminum (not soda cans). There's actual calculus involved in getting it perfect, but you might be able to do an initial guess with an entry-level understanding of casting metallurgical techniques. Otherwise, It'll be slightly better than a polymer lower.

As for the dimensions, the standard drawings detailing the shape of an AR lower are freely available. "AR-15 Lower Drawings" should get you all you need, but you'll also need to learn how to read shop drawings.

And as an M.E. student who's had to make some shit: Leave all the holes to machining. There is no way casting will give you holes accurately enough to fit up with all the pins. Make the receiver extension hole solid, maybe with a cone in the center to help with drilling it out. Make a jig or something to drill all the pin holes. For threading the buffer tube hole, get a tap. It'll cost maybe $50 at most.

Godspeed, anon.

Their nuclear program never got off paper, but their New York rocket would have been ready in 1946/47.

The nazi superscience myth is wehraboo lore.

They alienated many of the best german scientists before the war, and they had a technological inferiority in most respects throughout the war, and most of the advanced weapons they did have were either rushed to production and thus untested and unreliable or generally just wastes of resources and time.

So no, German scientists made themselves far more useful working for the Americans or Russians.

Shit would have gotten really, really weird OP. An example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focke-Wulf_Triebfl%C3%BCgel

I mean everyone has heard of the v2, the paris gun, the maus, their nuclear program (that was 2-3 years behind ours but w/e), etc.

Lots of cray shit came from them and still would have they were innovators. The "flying wing" aircraft design, the jet engine, death ray technology, pneumatic weapons, the helicopter, to name a few were from nazi germany.

One other thing is how heavily involved computers were in MC02

The entire exercise ran on software that can be compared to CMANO, but the combat code was fairly rudimentary because the exercise was supposed to be a test of C3. Thus the program allowed the human operators to essentially use console commands to move the combatants.

Riper basically bullied the operators on his team to input absurd commands like his light-speed bike couriers and weather independent light signals.

>you must be 19 to shoot on the range without a parent or guardian

wat

>>30662061
Well, seeing as only one of them lists the location, I'mma say "location".

Youre pretty special arent you

>>30661703
check out the old basement machinist/ johnny labs/ thesalesman2.0 infographics, he had a thing on doing that with .32 short

to be honest, doing what you're thinking without using a lathe and collets will inevitably lead to FTF in an auto loading gun

>>30661703
Yeah you could do that but it won't have the same effect as a HP that was factory made. FMJ is fine.

youre limp wristing

if you hold the glock firmly the casings have a predictable sideways trajectory

>>30661688
You sure?

Because i read on some sites that the glock has a problem with casings ejecting towards your head.

The guy at the range said it was a wrist problem also, but i read otherwise on the internet,

It also never happened with the 1911 or the cz.

>>30661922
don't you think if the rental gun had mechanical problems the staff would have fixed them instead of continuing to rent a dysfunctional gun? considering the glock is at least 10 ounces lighter than each of the other guns you shot and thus subject to greater recoil, i suspect you were limp wristing.

>>30661356
I guess it would mean more if the VA didn't kill more men than the Bataan Death March

Basing an MC on a war they didn't win.

>Usually when I say this I get a stern thank you and a conversation that follows.

I fucking hate when people say this shit. You don't know me, and you don't actually give a fuck about what me or my friends have been through. People say "Thank you for your service" to get acknowledged by a stranger, and it's annoying. At best, it's a trivial statement that means nothing.

Don't be a sperg. He didn't acknowledge you. You don't have to get accusatory about it. Leave vets the fuck alone man, we only give a stern thank you and a bit of conversation because it's the only polite way to handle some retard saying meaningless shit to us for trivial reasons.
With that said, thank you for your service of thanking him for his service. I really mean that.

He'd beat the shit out of James Yaeger, that's for sure.

And James I know you browse /k/. You know it's true.

>>30661262
I think he's cute.

smart capitalist, saw the tactical ninja mcdojo thing ahead of the curve and did well. good for him.

>>30660921
Because the 5.56mm only one I like is the FS2000, and it is no longer worth the price.

>>30661167
There's one for 1700 on gunsamerica

If I know someone out of state selling an rfb for 1300 - 1400 do you think it is worth of risk?

>>30660636
Im not inna area or I would. Look into Zombie prepping. Not the "paint everything green with bio hazzard all over" but the actual prep of it. Why? becuse if you are prepared for a zombie apocolypse you are preped for everything.

If thats too autistic for you.
focus on:
>guns
>food storage
>self reliance
>bugout truck
>bugout bag
ect

>>30660636
What part of Utah? Are you Mormon? Honestly, Southern Utah is almost full of preppers. The Mormons still act like the government is going to invade them.

>>30660636
i preped to become a predator of preppers in a SHTF situation.

yea its risky, but i dont need to hold down a fort or anything.
