How high-maintenance is carbon steel?
Do I have to be super-autistic in keeping it clean, or can I just wipe it after use and it'll be fine?

Just give it a patina and you'll be good to go.

Depends entirely on where you live.

Don't bother unless you want to keep it oiled all the time.
> <50%
Keep it clean. It'll spot unless you're autistic about keeping it clean but it won't rust unless you outright neglect it.

I have an opinel I use as a paring knife every single day and I live about 200ft from the ocean. I dont treat it any differently than any other kitchen knife. Dont leave it underwater, clean it immediately after use, dont spray it with oven cleaner . . .

Don't bring a firearms or actual weapon if any type. Bring something like a mag lite which to can pass off as a tool. This way if you do beat the shit out of someone you can actually not have every facto r against you. Bring a cheap camera or something to so you can cover as a photographer.

am going to try my hand at hunting upland birds this year. don't own a shot gun though. i know you'll probably scoff but i am kind of digging the Winchester sxp right now. most recommendations i hear is "get a mossberg or an 870" but i tried all 3 and a few others and for me its a toss up for the benneli nova and the sxp black shadow... super edgy name. the Winchester felt more well put together but made of cheaper materials. at 200 less than the benneli what do you think i should do ?

You should look into a stoeger. They are cheap but a damn good gun. I think they are a sub brand of benelli, so there is a quality reputation to back it up.
>>
>>30184743
thanks for the tip will check them out.
i'd have gotten the Winchester but am iffy bout their build quality and customer service.
>>
>>30184832
The SXP is actually made in Turkey, but is generally a fine shotgun. The design is the same as the FN P-12, but with a more general focus on sporting use. FN owns Winchester, well Repeating Arms anyway.

They lack wheeled transport. Phrogs and LVTPs are too expensive for my taste. But altogether with navy seals and delta force they make nice combos to sweep towns. Probaly my favorite US unit anyway.

Thank you, I also saw that henry has one called "the big boy" is that just the same as the golden boy but upped to .357 and 44.

>>30184675
They are great too. I personally prefer the 22lr though. 44mag is way too expensive, but the 357 isn't too bad if you use 38s.

Hey knifebros. I need a new pocket knife. I had a Gerber paraframe for the last several years that I finally lost. I know nothing about steel qualities or hardnesses but I know alot of you guys know your shit. My list of preferences are as follows.
1. Length of blade needs to be 3 to 4.5 inches
2 Edge retention should be be as good as possible related to price point
3. Assisted open is a plus but not if it comes with some of the retarded convoluted button, lever, switch combos I've seen on Buck knives of late.
I appreciate it /k/nifebros.

Stop worrying about this best/worst shit, especially in that price range. If you just need a general purpose folding knife, go to the sporting goods store and buy one that is comfortable. Sharpen it when it gets dull. Replace it when it breaks or more likely if you actually use them regularly, it gets lost. Don't overthink the simple shit.
>>
>>30184277
Don't hate on my suggestion: use lanyards on pocket knives? Why don't knife makers put bails (retention loops) on every knife made? I use an ID lanyard w/clip to secure my knives. I miss my Gerber assisted-open -- lost because unsecured!

I looked at some reviews did a little independent research and settled on getting a couple to see how they do. One was a Schrade with a 9cr18 blade and the other was a Sanrenmu with a 8cr13. If I screwed up let me know it's not too late to cancel.

/k/ I have a small request
Does anyone have the link to this one story about what would've happened if the Cuban Missile Crisis went hot? I don't have it bookmarked, and I've spent a while trying to find it to no avail. I know that this isn't the board for /r/equests, but /r/ didn't help. The story was on the one forum about alternate history or something if that helps.

I want to join the military and becoming a tank crewman seemed cool, until I watched all the syrian ATGM videos. How easily can a modern western tank get blown the fuck up? Specifically, a challenger 2 with the usual british kit.

Have you considered getting a general contractor to dig you a basement, so that it gets done correctly and your house doesn't fall into a hole?

>>30184107
I was thinking something smaller. ~10 X 10. No chance of the house falling into that small of a hole.

100% no way this could possibly go wrong. Good luck anon. Have you considered just doing a 10x10 controlled demolition? No chance of damaging your house in a small explosion.
