Is there a significant difference between 9x19 and 9x18 cartridges in real world applications? I know that the 9x19mm is a technically superior round but does that translate to real performance?
>>30454141
Yes
A quick Google search of ballistics data would give you your answer.
>>30454165
But do the ballistic tests translate to real world effectiveness?
Basically would there be any significant difference between shooting someone with a 9x19 over a 9x18?
So pilot skill exactly the same.
Who wins Heli vs Jet?
stick win every time
>>30454111
the jet as its intended and equipped to engage targets at much further distances than the helicopter and the helicopter was primarily equipped to hit targets on the ground

Just bought a Seecamp! Anyone else own one or have any thoughts?
Also whats your most recent purchase? /k/
>>30454044
Make sure you try Winchester Silver Tips. My father had one that was very picky.

KKM barrel for my glock 17
Wanted to get away from that polygonal rifling and get something that was made locally.
Just put a down payment on a Colt series 70 1911. Should be in next week after the holiday to pick up!
Summer time = new gun time
What surplus bolt-action has the best MOA?
GEW98 and Kar98K Mausers?
Short mag Lee Enfields?
M91/30 Nuggets?
T99 Arisakas?
Swiss K31s?
Swiss K31.
Most people will say "Mauser" because it's got a better action, but Swiss K31 owns the longest bolt action open-sights shot ever for a reason.
buy a modern gun if you want accuracy its hasn't been buttfucked by war and conscripts and will shoot ammo you can easily buy but prob Mauser's lockup in the front and well made for the most part
>>30453486
Only problem with K31s is getting ammo for it can be a pain in the ass, and you're going to be paying nearly 90c a shot, even when buying in bulk.
Looking at the Smith and Wesson Shield 9mm as my first gun.
How do you feel about it?
Good first pistol?
Want to spend around 400$ on my first, and this hits the nail on the head for price range and quality. Havent heard many negatives of this handgun.
>>30453435
Glock 43 instead
>>30453435
>>30453442
Rent both, buy the one that feels more comfortable to you.
Both are very solid.
>>30453493
M&P trigger leaves much to be desired. glock 43 take up is pretty mushy but the break is nice.
Is there any other countries that had an exclusive military units composed solely on martial races?
The brits have their own gurkha regiments, which can be described as a soldier's soldier, India has their own sikhs' regiment, while russia still maintains cossacks regiments
>>30453030
Israel has units for ultra orthodox Jews and Bedouin I believe
The U.S. has, and always will have the Irish.
>>30453030
Martial race is a stupid British colonial term for "People in our empire that barely rule."

Fuck Europe.

What?
It's in France, why is the Home Office acting at all?
>>30452966
You never know, the very next time t-they might start s-shooting into crowds with these assault g-guns!
What is /k/'s opinion on god king of sniping, Simo Hayha.
Eats both snow and explosive rounds. Hell of a man right there.
My most recent purchase was a M39 and the recoil kicks the shit out of me. How did these ppl shoot these for extended periods of combat? I mean I know their lives depended on it, but am I just being a pussy? Also I'm sure they wore more layers that helped cushion recoil.
>>30452850
I'm sure that when you're getting shot at and the adrenaline is pumping,you don't give two fucks about recoil.
What's the most gangsta gun one can purchase? I wanna look OG when rolling up on a niqq@
>>30452765
the guns they mention in the lyrics of the most gangsta songs.
I've noticed blacks of urban subcultures have high respects for
>glock
>ak's
> tec 9's
>tacticool sniper rifles.
>SOMETIMES AR's usually if it has two mags taped together jungle style they call these "extendo's
You will usually get bonus points for extendo's. High points will be mistaken for glock 40's but if your looking to actually get respect a real glock will be better then a high point.
UZI, glock, mac-10, tec-9, AKs, .38s for concealability (sp?) are usually the main guns brought up in rap.
t. rape expert
So what's your opinion on the Jew gun?
>>30452717
Like the look of of the old one and the new x95.
Wouldn't pay much more than 1500 but im sure they're a lot more than that right?
>>30452717
Good
ridiculously well balanced.

So with radar absorbent material being featured in pretty much every new aircraft, lets have a thread dedicated to unique paint jobs, beautiful unit markings and other wing art that we will rarely see in the future.
Picture is a Typhoon painted for the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain. You can see how the leading edges and underside have not been touched so as not to spoil the existing RAM.
At least helicopter camouflage will stay around for a while.
>Germany we need you to spend more money on defence
>no not like that.
What is your favourite battle rifle?
>>30452638
>>30436437
>>30452638
99% sure none of those are battle rifles.
Does 2nd from the bottom have Cav Mfg furniture? Looks sweet.
>>30452638
I wish they would make a reproduction run.
This pistol holds 48 rounds. The only thing wrong with it is that it uses pointless proprietary caseless ammo.
Why didn't this type of feeding system become more popular?
>>30452525
Probably because it was lierally called the VAG73.
>>30452525
>Put 6 round into guy

>put 48 expensive and non refillable rounds into guy

whats the difference?
cartridge length. Take a look at 5.7, which is pushing the limits of how long a mag well can be and still fit in the hand. 40mm overall length. .32 ACP and .380 ACP are both 25mm overall length. You'd have to make a custom extra short cartridge to avoid making the grip fuckheug
I want to purchase a silencer and SBR a lower before Obongo's new rules go into effect on July 13. Is there any reason I shouldn't just buy the Silencerco easy trust for $120 and get it over with? Going through an attorney for a personalized trust is, like, $600+, so fuck that. I'm not married and have no kids.
>>30452451
was thinking about that myself.
Was also going to buy ivory grips before they get banned before July but I just didn't have the money.
Piggybacking on this thread: what if you're in a no-fun state (and set to remain there through the new rules) but would like to have a trust set up for when you move to a better state? Is such a thing even possible?
>>30452476
It is, but I believe you will have to get an attorney to review your trust upon moving to a new state, so there's probably not much of a point of you're not going to buy any NFA items right now.
Can you throw ammo in the trash?
Situation came up, and I have to move in a few hours. I'm not allowed to bring ammo with me in my check baggage; i've already checked.
I tried to give it away, but no one wanted it.
I dont have any means or time to get rid of it. Should I throw it in the trash, or bury it?
>Situation came up
stori time
>>30452297
Hold your fucking horses, where do you live? I'd gladly take that off your hands if I'm within driving distance.
Alternatively, just shoot it.
Depending on the type of waste disposal it ends up in that could get fun.
Just hide it in a bush and let some dindu get lucky
