I don't see this gun a lot on /k/. Whats your opinion on it?
>Slapping it down to reload, look like a badass.
>German engineering.
It's main appeal was that it was in a lot of 90s action films, and the heckle my cock slap. Otherwise it doesn't really stand out in any way.
>>30452242
Excellent for its time. Superceded by newer smgs and made obsolete with the rise of pdws and sbrs.
why do dickheads in youtube videos always exaggerate the slapping motion? or cocking any gun in general? are they just trying to look cool?
Hey /k/, I need your help: I got me an M-1945 combat pack in nice condition.
But the Problem ist: Shit reeks like dozens of years in military storage (you know that smell)
I dont wanna throw such old cloth into the washer since I guess neither the metal parts of the pack will be good for the washer nor will modern detergent be the right choice for a 70 years old piece of equipment (I'm also a little afraid that this would kill the rubberized interior flap)
So the question is: What can I do to remove this intense storage smell?
Pic semi related, not mine but an M-1945 pack
>>30452188
I love that smell. Revs my engine.
>>30452202
Whatever floats your boat man. But my pack seriously destroys realtionships: I got it yesterday and put it in a room with open window and still the whole room is saturated with that odor.
Y'all think that just hanging it outside for a couple of days would help or do I need more...erm... aggressive methods?

Hey anons,
i will start my military career next monday, though i have no idea what it will be like or whether it was a good idea because i have family. I join the german bundeswehr as officer or officer contender. I never served in any way so i am not familiar with military structures nor do i know what it will be like to be a soldier. One of the main reason i joined is that i can be a provider for my familiy currently i am studying and would also study at some point at the Bundeswehr.
Do i fucked up?
What ist the best branche of military service?
Will i end as divorced cuck?
I would cosider myself as pretty intelligent and i am very interested in politics so i try to analyze and reflect what is going on, hence i am not quite ok all the time with being an extendend arm american foreign policy nor NATO anto russian propaganda.
Can you be a military leader and being redpilled?
Hey just want to here some experience, some opinions. Is it worth it to become a weekend daddy? Can i do any good at the armed forces because i also the the future conflict potential and would like to help?
TL;DR Was joining the Bundeswehr a bad decision? Also share your military service experience.
>>30452129
>Identifies as redpilled
>Says he's pretty smart
Pick one.
Also you're a fool. You're just going to die for one of lady's Merkel's games in the next 15 years.
>>30452139
>die for one of lady's Merkel's games in the next 15 years.
Thats exactly why i have a little remorse about my decision.
Also this new warfare against IEDs and terrorists looking like civilians does not make me feel good either.
But i have 6 month to withdraw from my contract.
Bundeswehr is ez pz, but since you'll be going in as an officer (which is fucking stupid due to your lack of fucking experience), you'll most likely be called out on this and either reprimanded due to your inevitable fuck ups and sent to a lower rank, possibly even be forced to go through germany's equiv of basic, or put on desk jockey duty. Good thing is they'll probably go the latter route, and put you through some training beforehand.
Also, cut the /pol/ lingo if you're not on /pol/, crossboarding is faggotry.
Anything specific you can tell us about this officer position? That can mean a lot of things.
I have relatives in the bunde and swedish army, plus I'm enlisting myself later this year into the bunde aswell.

Are there any downward shell extraction/ejecting rifles?
>>30452036
Doesn't the RFB do this?
Also the Ithaca 37
That 5.7 ar-15 upper(ejects out of the lower's mag well iirc) and the kel tech RDB are the only two that come to mind.
>>30452054
It's forward ejecting like the F2000 which is practically bottom ejecting since it all lands at your feet anyway.
>>30452036
I wish my ar would extract the piece of tula shit still in my chamber.
If I found the same caliber as the black powder gun is it possible to use normal ammo with or the barrel will blow off?
Is it possible to reload ammo with black powder with and correct ogive for a black powder revolver ?
Btw is to possible to reload .223 ammo for a AR-15 with black powder?
I agree that black powder revolver are a crap to reload but why people don't use more of this guns? Since they are barely free to get even in most of European country with restrictive gun laws. That could be useful at least for home defense/self-defense.
And black powder is easy to make at home if you have a garden for exemple. In case of SHTF black powder ammunition is viable longer than gun powder one.
The problem here in euro isn't getting the gun.
It's the fact that home defense is going to get you jailed if you protect yourself with anything other than a knife/sword/hatchet.
If youre gona risk jail by firing at peoples in your house, you may as well do it with semi auto.

>I agree that black powder revolver are a crap to reload but why people don't use more of this guns? Since they are barely free to get even in most of European country with restrictive gun laws. That could be useful at least for home defense/self-defense.
In several American states black-powder firearms are not defined as true firearms, so people older than 18 (old enough to buy them) but under 21 (the age where most people can get concealed carry permits) will carry cap-and-ball blackpowder revolvers, because it's technically legal to do so.
>>30451950
are you using google translator to type in english or are you just retarded?
in europe
>self defense is illegal, prepare your anus for cultural enrichment allah akbar
>bp may be regulated
>the '93 USSR everything must go militaria firesale=criminals and randoms all over europe have real guns. you should too.
in america
>firearms that are in currently unobtainable calibers, cartridge firearms made prior to 1898, and muzzle loaders are not regulated
>self defense varies state to state
>you're in america, just buy a fucking hipoint. they're cheaper than a pietta replica.
also blackpowder is more of a bitch to make than you think. saltpeter made the old school way is an involved cottage industry process and if you have access to instant cold packs and shit you can and should just buy 30lbs of pyrodex. Or if not fedorable, a cartridge firearm and an assload of ammunition.
You have to modernize a MiG-21 to make it as effective in 21th century air combat as possible, in order to field it in your new air force. How do you do it and what changes do you make ?
You're a close ally to the US so they might be fine selling you some engines, avionics or weapons.
Bonus points if you also make it effective in ground strike roles.
>>30451928
I'm looking forward to this thread. I've always thought the 21 was a cool looking plane
Just see F-5 modernization programs. Put on a better radar and make it lob AMRAAMs.
>>30451928
A very powerful radar and nuclear air to air missiles.
Missiles can also to be used on ground targets.
How can it be improved?
Improving it with tacticool plastic and tapco mags etc would only take the appeal away.
Rifle is fine comrade
>>30451839
Hi /k/ long time lurker, but this is my first thread. I've been recently thinking about joining the military. I never thought about special forces or a combat unit until now, I always thought about doing mechanics or something like that. But in recent days I've sparked a big interest in combat units, specifically Rangers and Green Berrets. The coordination and discipline in their movements, thought process, and tactics absolutely awe me. For some reason combat doesn't scare me like it used too (maybe cause I've been playing Arma) but I've found a very strong new interest in combat divisions and would like to join one.
So tell me, what should I expect if I try to get into the Army Rangers or Green Berrets? What kind of training and physical ability does it require? Can I still join even thought i don't have my diploma but have my GED? What are the differences in maneuvers and fighting tactics that Green Berrets and Rangers use, compare and contrast? What do both fields have to offer?
lot's of running. Like a shitton.
You should be able to run for 20+km with full gear withouth stopping.
>>30451790
I know a lot of running but I don't think it's up to 20+km at least none of the videos I've watched have said that
you cant watch youtube and assume that its exactly what its like man
Okay, someone I know is having buyers remorse about this pistol. The S&W 380 Bodyguard.
Here's the thing: I don't think it's a bad pistol.
But this is her response about it:
>I need two hands to use the safety, it's hard to pull the slide back, too many switches, buttons, levers and gears. This sucks, I want my 20 year old revolver.
Which, my response is 'okay', but now what do we do with this thing? Keep it? Should I be trying to find classes or something for her to take on how to operate a semi-auto pistol? Because this was her first magazine-fed pistol.
She originally wanted it because of the built-in laser, is there a similar pistol that has easier operation at a similar price point?
>>30451653
Should have got the safetyless version. Simple as fuck double action only. Absolutely no need for a manual safety.
>crimson trace laser
that is the regret along with the manual safety, not on the gun but on those two specific "features".
If I were her, I would sell it at a loss and do the following.
>buy pic
>put this inside

Research has to be done prior to buying a gun. Always.
>>30451722
Yeah, it was probably my fault to begin with or not recommending her returning it sooner. It's been several months now in a shoebox because she wants nothing to do with it.
As an example, I had to explain to her the difference between .38 and .380, as she bought no ammo for the thing; thinking that she had plenty of .38 at home. (Special, at that)
I suppose though, if we had to return it at this point at a loss. Would it be worth buying another? Or should we be in the market for a shield or something like that?
>>30451653
>it's hard to pull the slide back
Every single female needs to lay the fuck off the lotion. Those slides aren't hard to cycle at all. If she can hold a gallon of milk by the handle for 2 fucking seconds, she can rack the slide on a .380 Bodyguard. Just give the goddamn revolver.

Hello
I'm an engineering student, this summer I'm taking 1 class so I've got spare time.
Teaching myself solidworks, came up with this as a good project
its a foldable stock for a 1911 to make it into an SBR, it folds into a frame for the holster
Yes, I know SBRs are illegal unless you have a class 2 or 3
This is just a project for design, I'm probably never going to build one
Does this look like a cool design? Would you want one if it was legal?
Got any suggestions?
>>30450699
>Does this look like a cool design?
pants with fake cargo pockets have existed for ages
>>30450699
>Would you want one if it was legal?
Probably not. Folding stocks on pistols are very inferior to carbines in general. Interesting anyhow.
>>30450742
thanks senpai
Hey /k/,
Been shooting rifles for 4 yeas now and finally want a handgun.
I wanna just focus on one handgun to train for now. (I may get a 22lr slide for it though eventually)
Would pic related be a good choice? I live in a state where mag cap is 15 rounds.
I have a 9mm carbine.
Would this be an okay choice for someone with slightly smallish hands.
My price limit is probably 800 dollars max. Prefer to stay in the 600 range.
>>30450666
Also as I live in a no carry state it will be pretty much just for target shooting.
>>30450728
>15 round limit
>No carry state
Jersey? Have you even tried to get your CC permit?
>>30451110
As if there was any other state like that
I think I went backwards on the /k/ progression scale. I got a bunch of cool, obscure shit then worked my way to more common stuff. It just hit me that I don't have a fullsize 9mm pistol. Now I need one with the 4th almost here.
What's /k/'s favorite nine?
>>30450634
Glock 17/19; can't go wrong with either one.
>>30450634
I'm not that into modern guns, but I, like you, started with the weird shit then worked my way to modern(ish)
Having said that, one of the various versions of Hi-Powers would be cool, modern enough to be useful but old enough to still be cool. Failing that there's a handful of CZs and Sigs I'd look at, but really there's too many options for a fullsize 9mm to give you a recommendation without knowing more about what you want. I'm sure many anons will recommend Glocks, and those are just fine, but I think we need a little more info on your tastes. Do you want metal frame, polymer frame, striker fired or DA/SA? Old or new design? Help us help you
>>30450634
Can't go wrong with a classic.
