Why do modern nations with decent militaries use no tanks but MBTs?
In world war 2 there was a variety of different kinds of tanks. Armored warfare was very diverse.
However starting from the 50s it seemed like there could only be one kind of tank on the battlefield and that's the MBT.
Why is that? What killed the other kinds of tonk?
>What killed the other kinds of tonk?
The MBT
other kinds of tonk were shit
>>30329365
My big Tonk. The MBT were better than all the old tonks in all tank categories. Because they weren't the nations mine.
Tonk forever. The end.
/k/ how hard would it be for a neet with no work experience to get a apprenticeship thing gunsmithing?
>>30329350
>how hard is it going to be to convince a gunsmith that hates his job dealing with retards to take on a super retard that can't support himself and turn take said super retard and convert him into a half useful person, then teach said half useful person how to gunsmith as he tries to make a living gunsmithing
>>30329376
well is there anything i can do?
>Acquire funds for college
>Go to school for machinist
>Then get 4+ years work experience as a machinist
>Then go to the gunsmith because you're a machinist and aren't a useless shut in
So it's something you'll never accomplish you lazy NEET, get ready to be homeless because your mom isn't around forever

I'm look for a relatively cheap bolt action rifle mostly for target shooting with some friends.
>>30329268
Savage Axis.
>>30329268
What is your definition of cheap?
I grabbed a Savage Axis with a bushnell scope for about 300. Filled the stock with steel BBs to add weight, and put a vortex scope on it for about 169. Also, got the sear ground out and trigger adjusted to about 3 pounds so there is no creap. Overall, spent about 500 making it my rifle and it shoots damn accurate.
Another good option for budget bolt actions, is the Ruger american. I have seen a few combo deals for a ruger american predator with scope for $500. The American feels like a better rifle when I grabbed it. Haven't shot it but heard nothing but good reviews.

Forgot pic.
so somewhat poorfag herdhere. took a chance and bought a siga ak47 it's pretty used and came with a scope, rail, 3mags and the hardcase for 500$ did I do good or not? I plan to upgrade parts and repaint it and take it to a GS for inspection will post pics later also pic unrelated
Didn't spell it right and didn't even post a picture. .

How does a woman past 30 with 0 fighting experience, training or muscles defend herself against an attack by a man, without a gun (not everyone's american) or any other tool of self-defense?
Is she just doomed to get killed or end up in a hospital at best?

Sex is a social construct. Anything a man can do a woman can do better. Xi just needs to put xer mind to it and anything is possible.
>>30328965
I can't run 10 seconds without getting chest pain like I'm having a stroke.
By situational awareness you mean acting like a doormat all the time out of fear? That's so depressing I might as well kill myself. It's not like I'm allowed to live life anyway.
What does /k/ think about the new Delta Elite refresh? Will people prefer and look for the old one? I always wanted one for a hog hunting gun but it's not much of an upgrade from my prelock 686.
>>30328825
The old Deltas beat themselves up pretty hard if you were using a heavier 10mm loading. American Rifleman had a column about the new P220 in 10mm that specifically referenced the author having a Delta that jettisoned its slide midway through a long day at the range.
Maybe Colt's taken advantage of improved metallurgical techniques or some other fuckery over the last 30 years, so who knows.

>>30329001
Ahh ok thanks, I think I will avoid them for now.
Why are there no 9mms aesthetically similar to the ppk or the p232?
>>30328531
Because it requires a fuckhuge slide to function as a blowback. That's why hipoints look the way they do.
>>30328531
Because that would require the gun to be straight blowback, which isn't feasible with the pressures generated by 9mm unless you significantly bulk up the action.

So with all these 80 lowers out there I'm curious has anyone read or heard anything about casting one? I was thinking maybe buying an 80 lower that has been casted then coating it in a few layers of wax to create the mold. I would use the trial an error method to get the right size and when I do I would make a more permanent mold that I could reuse over and over.
they're out there for purchase but largely unused compared to aluminum forged receivers
>>30328525
I know but I was thinking about setting up a forge and casting some 80 lowers to sell. I know they aren't as durable as forged ones but hey that's why they'll be cheaper.
>>30328545
what's the point where making them isn't worth it though? you have anderson lowers at $50 on sale already. 80% aluminum lowers are $35-45 at cheapest
the clark county commission just voted to adopt a califorania-style handgun roster. Anyone with off-list guns will have to pay a $50 tax every five years, which will use the new state database instead of the old blue cards. I'm on the hook for $500 in taxes as a result.
don't ever register your guns /k/
>>30328214
Something something boating accident.
>>30328214
So is the list available online? If yes could you kindly point me in that direction? Clark County Nevada doesn't bring anything up news wise except for some old articles about mugshots and apparently some mosquitoes have been spreading encephalitis
>>30328492
the article about it is in the sub-only part of the review-journal, they say they're just going to copy CA's roster (unchanged since '93) verbatim

What products exist specifically for women's concealed carry and shooting competition attire?
My girlfriend is looking to update her wardrobe to allow her to move her M&P 9 Shield from her bag to a paddle holster. She normally wears colorfully patterned yoga pants and the like, but they won't support the weight of a holstered sidearm. I showed her the 5.11 Tactical girl pants, and she said she'd get them if they came in better colors. Suggestions for some tactical hippie girl pants?
>>30327603
It's kind of astounding that tactical Peter Pan pants actually exist
