Unpopular opinions thread
Carrying a rifle or shotgun at the low ready is exactly like carrying your pistol out of its holster and should be treated the same way.
What if your sling is broken and you're trying to go home to fix it?
>>30082145
That's the standard carrying position around the woods, combat or a "live/dry fire scenarios", so...yeah, guess you're right.
I agreee, OP. Why is this an unpopular opinion, again?
>>30082152
Valid, I should specify, I mean if you obviously are intentionally carrying/have it slung like you're on a patrol, not sure where the line is but you'd know it when you saw it
Suppose biology made progress and now we are able to easily train any animal: make them obey commands, be unafraid of certain things (like gunfire), ovveride and add desired instincts.
What applications for them would you see in a modern war? What animals for which role?
>>30081904
Dogs for bombs/landmines/IED's, but we already have those and that's about it.
No other points really, they don't have any advantages over a machine or human ingenuity.
Two words: Bear Calvary.
I don't care that it's stupid and useless in modern warfare, I fucking want it.
Pesticide resistant mosquitos that have lived off the blood of nothing but creatures infected with various diseases.
Use pheromones to make the Skeeters not bite our soldiers. Unleash them on the major cities of our enemies.
How would /k/ free up this seized extractor? I've got it soaking in break free. Every pin I have used to try to drive the pin out has bent.
soak it in kroil instead.
When the gun came in it was so seized I could not even rack the slide, drop the magazine or manipulate the safety. This is how pitted the inside of the frame is.
pic related (Ruger) is why pistol grip ARs and non-ruger pistols are defacto banned in California
>>30081662
Rugers are banned too.
>>30081671
over 2/3rds of the pistols on the hangun roster that are still in production are made by ruger (now that S&W backed off)
ruger is also the leading retailer in california-compliant semiautomatic rifles (the mini-14)
>>30081803
Mini 14 are banned tho
Why didn't the Germans slope the shells?
Why didn't your mom have any children that lived?

>sloped shells
I can't even begin to imagine what that would look like.

The post
Hi /k/, Europoor here.
I have an old Swedish nagant revolver whose wooden grips have basically rotten away. I'm in the process of substituting them and I was thinking of making them myself. I have access to woodworking tools, so that shouldn't be a problem.
The problem is that I don't know which wood to use. We have plenty of pine in the local hardware stores but it's too soft I think.
Any suggestion on the type of wood or alternative easily available materials?
Thank you
Some sort of exotic wood?
If you're making it yourself, make it something fancy.
>>30081236
Ideally I would want something not too hard to acquire. It's a fully restored gun, so it has basically 0 collection value

Add a knife!
Hey everybody,
I am going to go hunting with some friends of mine this summer, which I have never actually done before. I would like to try and hunt with bow and arrows, but i dont have a lot of experience with handbows, so im wondering what kind of bow i should get.
Could anyone share their experiences with me and help me find a bow to begin with?
inb4 that one pasta posting troll on lars whatshisface.
If you're going recurve, you might need to start practicing now, because recurve takes practice and good form. Not to mention I think states have their own requirements on how much poundage you need to hunt with.
Get a compound bow, it's easier to hunt with, especially for someone not as familiar with bows. It's also a tad bit more forgiving if your form isn't solid. Not to mention you have let-off that lets you hold at full draw with 70-80% of the weight off (vs. recurve where you hold and might even have stacking of the poundage at full draw)
>>30081104
Thanks for your reply,
I have shot with recurve bows sometimes in the past, and I always thought that was kinda fun.
If i would purchase a beginner compound bow, what are the minimum requirements i should look for, like the length and the draw strength?
>>30081130
google how to find length of draw for beginners. It's usually from palm of one arm extended perpendicular to body to your face. But you should look it up for clarity.
In terms of draw weight, your run-of-the mill compounds can be adjusted, (but you suually need a tool to check what weight it's at everytime you change it, I see a lot of 40-60# bows.
You also should read up on state hunting requirements for bow poundage on whatever game you're hunting. I mean, I'm sure there are people who don't care, but if you try and take a animal with too weak a bow, you either piss it off or unnecessarily hurt it.
But like guns, it never hurts to pop into an archery range, set up a quick intro class and they'll usually guide you through all the safety and what bows suit you.
If you are not able to or won't, you can just wing it with a compound, if you really have to, you can always pull the bow in any fashion (just don't twist it or you risk the strings popping off the cams OR pull in a fashion where you hurt yourself) until you hit full draw, at that stage, the cams do their magic. But the best advise is to either take a class or get a bowhunting buddy to teach you.
Or look up some archery/bow handling fundamentals on youtube and read a little bit into it.
Huh?

If I dressed up as a Delta operator complete with American flag patch on my shoulder and infiltrated Russia covertly (or just catch a plane) could I assault the kremlin or maybe an army base and start WW3?

How would you manage to have the body armor, weapon, NODs, and all of that other shit shipped to a different country....

What guns are those?

Do you have a castle doctrine in your state? Was it a 1hk?

I was scared so i hit him about 4 times. I don't know much about the law
How would you upgrade a protest to a revolution? The setting is a european cuckcountry, so people have no guns by default.
Your forces: Protesters from different groups and trades, numbering in the thousands. Some willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause.
The opponents: Police, increasingly better armed as your revolution is gaining momentum. If you are slow a modern but very small army.
>>30080878
Didn't Putin do something along those lines a few years ago? With Russian special forces inciting the violence that probably wouldn't have started in the first place
>>30080878
Home made explosives.
Cell phone cameras everywhere for when the police overreact.
Friendly news media to take footage and help deligitimize the government.
Community organizations to help people live their lives in the midst of the madness so that you will simultaneously build support among your neighbors (free supplies, intel, and safehouses) and provide them with a viable, tangible alternative to the government, helping them accept your claim to power much more readily.
>>30080891
Do you think it can't be done with only 'normal' revolutionairies?
Most revolutions don't involve foreign special forces.
Anybody got more pictures of military slavs in Adidas shoes?

Sad day for me /k/
>listed my ar-15s and mini-14 for sale today /k/
I had them for 5 years, bought before Obama price hike of 2012, before registration of long guns were mandatory and
Before the fire arms saftey test was mandatory for long guns.
I live too close to a school (within 2.5 miles) to own "assault weapons" in California
And with the new laws anything with a removable magazine OR bullet button is considered an assault weapon.
Spent so much time in college shooting with my buddies.
When these go, I will no longer be a gun owner.
Anyone else selling out prior to the massive changes?
