Is this the new meme color fire firearms? First it was OD green, then FDE, then Coyote Brown, milticam etc.
>implying there is anything wrong with OD green
>>29977081
looks fucking cool. Who cares what color they are, free market, free nation and aint no amount of socipathing basement dwellers rage change that
>>29977081
Is there anything that isn't a meme these days?
There is absolutely no reason why the CDC shouldn't be doing research on firearm deaths and injuries.
Can ANY of you actually justify blocking the CDC from researching gun violence?
>Hard Mode: No 'Hurr Durr it's not a disease'
Neither are fucking hurricanes and chemicals but they still study that shit.
They are biased as fuck.
>>29977045
Yes, they were caught conducting research to support the conclusion that guns should be banned. That's not how science works, nigger. Besides, what percentage of medical research originates from the cdc? Calm your tits. They should focus on zika and childhood obesity.
Probably a bait thread, so I'll sage you.
>>29977075
Do you have a source on the CDC conducting bias research?
Are there any books/websites that go into the details of modern military battles? I'd like to read more about them other than those shitty Wikipedia entries that only cover the overview of an operation
>>29976943
Interested in it too
>>29976943
Depends on the battle.
>>29976943
How modern are we talking?
ITT: we talk about the potential for sodium/potassium filled hollow point rounds.
The BackYardScientist created these prices of ammo, and in theory of shooting a person it will, explode, have the same results but more effective as hollow point ammo, or if it gets caught inside of a person, will set on fire inside a target because of the water in the blood making the metal react.
Could this become a real ammo? Thoughts /k/

>Could this become a real ammo?
>price per kg lead: 4$
>price per kg iron: 72$
>price per kg sodium: 250$
>price per kg potassium: 1000$
the answer is no
>>29976862
The price would be higher yeah, but people with too much money are everywhere, it is an intresting concept
>>29976783
It's potentially more devastating, but a lead bullet is going to kill someone just as dead. You don't need to set someone's torso on fire to end a threat
If America ever faced a large scale invasion from a large country like China, or an alliance of smaller countries, how would the government react? Let's say that that massive fighting breaks out in the south and California is being invaded by sea. Fighting has been harsh and civilians are in clear danger.
Would the government act quickly to arm it's citizens against the invaders? Perhaps hand out surplus weapons where possible? Or would it force all of it's civilians out ASAP, and try to relocate them away from the fight?
First I'd like you to explain how you're going to get anything past the ADIZ
>>29976782
>How would the government react?
Shoot at them with guns
>Would they arm their citizens?
We already have guns and they know that
>Would they relocate the citizenry?
They'd ignore us and focus on the threat at hand
I imagine that a draft would be instated. Many adult male citizens will likely join a public militia with their own firearms, or be recalled to military service if they are former military. The majority of the civilian population would probably just flee.
Why does everybody compare of the United States gun control situation with how Australia fix theirs I can't think of a more apples to oranges comparison.
>>29976744
Can you explain how the situations differ?
>>29976753
Because the Auscucks already had all their guns registered and could be easily confiscated.
Something about direct ties to Europe turns people into bootlegging commies.
The difference in population by about 13 times the amount of people. Australia has the strictest Port Authorities of any country. Australia has no bordering countries not to mention no bordering continents. Australia's immigration is the tightest of any country aside from Japan and North Korea. I can go on
Let's describe the actual gun in 3 sentences or less, how they shoot; not their owners, memes etc... Just your impression from shooting them, kept short.
I'm a sig fag but I rented a bunch of 9mm guns today, here's what I thought of the guns I shot today:
>CZ P-09
Hated how it felt and the slide riding in the frame made it slightly harder to pull the slide back but I got the best groups of the day with it, better than my Sigs even.
>Walther PPQ
Had the best trigger on any striker fired gun I've ever shot, grouped well enough, thought the top of the back strap was a tad thin.
>XD mod2
Was the only gun I kept shooting high and to the right with and I thought "Grip zone" graphic was stupid; hated it.
>CANIK
For $399 retail, it's a pretty damn good gun but it did not group that well for me; 3" group at 21' when I shot it.
>Legion SAO 226
The match grade trigger is insane. I accidentally double tapped once and shot the first round before I meant to (on target though).
>Ruger American
Didn't like the reset or the grip, thought it did a surprisingly bad job at managing recoil.
>Legion DA/SA 229 (Mine)
The combat trigger is good but not as impressive as the SAO, not all as impressive but still gives good groups (pic related).
>Sig 320 compact (Mine)
Great trigger but the ppq trigger is probably better. I shoot it almost as consistently, but not quite as consistently, as the 229 Legion.
Sorry if nobody finds this useful; would love to hear objective one sentence impressions of other guns people have from shooting them.
>Glock 19
Uninspired in every sense of the word but it works.
>Glock 27
Needed the pinky extender on it for follow up shots. It's a snappy little bastard.
>629
A lot of fun but too big and heavy for conceal carry and expensive to shoot.
>Walther p22
Stovepipe after stovepipe
>Walther ppk
Not any better than a Bersa 380 and the sights are super tiny.
>HK p2000
Extremely accurate gun and the factory sights are good.
>S&W Shield (with extendo)
Surprisingly easy shooting and extremely accurate gun in my hands.
>sp101
Annoying to clean as you have to completely strip the gun to clean under the cylinder and 5 shots are very many. It was pretty easy to shoot though, the added weight for it's size helps.
>Glock 29
Same dimensions as Glock 30. Nothing else to say about it really, heavy gun.
>FN 5.7
Giant hunk of plastic shooting a little but easy to control bullet. It was easy to put quickly put multiple rounds on target.
>Bersa 380
Nice little gun but over priced these days. It's easily controllable and concealable and easy to clean.
>Kimber Ultra Carry 2
Would not cycle if I put too much oil on the rails.
>Springfield GI
Military sights suck and the gun was kind of rough. I guess it worked for $500 but an RIA gun would probably be better, IDK.
>Ruger 1911
Nice shooting, nice trigger for the money. I would buy this one if I were going to buy a 1911 and could find it ambidextrous.
>Ruger KP95
Holy shit that's cheap feeling plastic. The gun is a brick.
>Diamondback 380
The trigger feels like a DA trigger because of the rotating action. Nice enough shooter, would not buy.
I don't know man, only bump for me.
*sip*
>>29978182
Nah, this is neat.
Remington R1 1911: Roughly made. Do not recommend.
Springfield RO Compact: A bit of a handful but a sweet shooter.
CZ 75 P01: Like a slightly wider glock 19. Great shooter despite a meh trigger and comically tiny sights.
SIG P226: Nothing was really wrong with it but it didn't fit me well. Very disappointing stock trigger.
HK P30: Garbage trigger, otherwise fine.
HK VP9: Great grip contour, poor texture. I bought one and it's been great through 2k rounds.
Glock 19: A perfectly sufficient handgun. It doesn't get as much credit as it deserves for being as brain-dead simple as it is. The frame shape is also well suited for a good thumbs-forward grip. Poor stock grip texture though, even on the Gen4.
Glock 22 RTF2: Hands down my favorite grip texture. It's magic.
Springfield XDM 9mm: Weirdest trigger ever. If you like a rolling break, this is your gun.
Walther PPQ M2: Great trigger, felt a little snappy. Slightly smaller than the VP9 but otherwise basically the same gun.
S&W Pre Model 10: Everything you need, nothing you don't. I love mine to pieces. Good trigger, tiny sights, very soft shooting.
S&W 686: It's pretty much *the* 357 for a reason. Big and heavy, but a smooth shooter. I want the SSR model.
SCAR 16: It's fine. Soft shooting, but it's a 5.56 gun with a good brake. I wouldn't get one.
FAL: The one I used was surprisingly unreliable. Also really heavy. Not a huge fan.
Tavor: It recoils a little funny but I'm a fan. The one I tried was riced out with Geissele stuff though.
S&W Shield: Easier to shoot than expected. Kind of a crappy trigger.
M&P9C with Apex kit: Oh man is this nice. Thicker than I'd carry but with Trijicon HD sights it's one hell of a carry piece. Very controllable, good ergos, good capacity.
PS90: Fun, no recoil to speak of. Laser accurate.
FS2000: The fishgun actually shoots pretty well. Soft recoil, but the forward ejection must be annoying to reloaders.
Anyone on /k/ know where I may be able to find some manuals/disassembly instructions for old Sako/Tikka rifles? Google-fu is failing me.
I found an old Ithaca LSA-65 at a yard sale the other day for a steal. Turns out it's a Sako/Tikka with a bofors barrel. Needs a lot of love but the bore looks good and bolt operates fine. Can't get the thing off the stock though, and afraid I'm going to break something. Parts are rare as fuck.
Pic isn't mine, I'm at work.
>>29976426
I'm at work too but if I remember I'll check the ar/k/ on my computer, it has a shit ton of manuals.
>>29976670
Thanks. I'll bump the thread later after I get home.
Finding anything on this rifle is like pulling unicorn teeth, but it's an amazing find and I really want to get her running again.
>>29977738
Bampu
Can someone identify this rifle?
His name is gerald. He's a good rifle.
>>29976318
>Can someone identify this rifle?
Probably, yeah.
>>29976318
It's one of the new SEP kit for the Famas, replaces a lot of the exterior components that the bore evacuator couldn't take care of on the original model.
I forgot to check a box on my concealed carry application. How fucked am I
>>29976165
You'll probably have to reapply
>>29976165
Since it's governement-ish paperwork, 100% fucked.
>>29976165
at least you did it on that and not something that's actually important and has larger consequences
just be glad you fucked up on something so trivial
Standing rifles edition. Old thread >>29972430
>>29976088
>more than 2 minutes late
We'll add that failure to the railed GB and magpul'd RAS.
Used barrel I got has a little bit of stripped paint, is painting a barrel worth it or as someone said in the previous thread it'll pull an Arsenal?
>>29976088
How is it that whenever I come to these threads almost every rifle looks like it's never been 5 feet from a safe?
I still think the L85 needs to be replaced but the new gears alright, what do you all think?
>>29975931
L85 is cancer
Helmets tip top
Body armours alot sleeker
>https://youtu.be/Tzpld1xnVok
Still waiting for kewl shin/knee guards though
>>29976000
If it's so bad why don't they just buy surplus American rifles?
Are they too embarassed?
What was the last war that Germany actually won?
>>29975871
They were called Prussians back then.
>>29975871
Are you too stupid to look for the answer on wiki or are you just asking rhetorical questions about common knowledge facts for trolling purposes ?
Anyway it was the 1870 war against France, you're fucking welcome.
>Germany has never won a war
>Israel has never lost a war
whoa... makes u think...
>>29975796
great post man
10/10

WHERE IS THE FUCKING S-DUCTTTTTTTTTTTT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>29976001
Never Ever.
What is the most meme-tier service branch and why is it the Coast Guard?
Weird way to spell Marines
>>29975746
Because they think they're a branch but aren't even DOD.
>>29975752
OP didn't say most trolled branch on /k/.
>>29975746
what is with the CG being called a "branch" nowadays?
why is it on lists and shit?
they aren't even DOD and they're just water national guard.
