Heros die, soldiers survive.
Are here anybody who is shooting with slingshots?
>>29909942
Had one of those(with few marbles) inside my backpack. Good for small games (fowls, hares) and it beats having to haul that folding survival .22 rifles everytime
>>29909942
My father is into them since he was a kid.
He even made his own.

Did this design have any advantages over conventional grenades?
>>29909769
You can fling it farther and less chance of it rolling back at you plus its got style.
Easier to throw it further when being used offensively, so it would make it to the other guy's trench from further away.
Shitty ignition mechanism and material intensive, though.
An offensive grenade whose advantage is pointless because grenades are mostly used defensively in this day and age.
>>29909769
It's easier to throw longer distances
Hey /k/. So long story short, accidentally got some sand in the trigger assembly of my CZ SP01. Any recommendations to get it out of there?
>troll thread
here's your (lol gritty trigger is known on CZ's!).
>actual thread
just take it out and clean it.
>>29909739
Shoot it
>>29909739
Use an air duster, apply a light coat of oil and wipe off, leave out overnight, inspect the next morning, if it's gucci oil and clean business as usual and you're good.
I was dumb enough to take my beater 9mm catfishing a couple weeks ago for shootan snakes and I dropped it in some dry river clay, it worked well.
Thinking about joining the military.
College isn't working out. Not dumb. Long story.
Minimal experience with firearms. Shot a .22 rifle at a camp and shot my grandpas 9mm.
Was a swimmer in high school, slightly out of shape now.
Could you guys give me pros/cons of each or share experiences.
Thanks

Do you want a radically life changing experience?
To gear queers:
Why not just wear clothes with a lot of pockets?
It's less conspicuous, the pockets on cargo pants and fishing vests are usually bigger than those on tacvests, and normal clothes are way more comfortable than harnesses and load-bearing rigs.
Even if you need that extra bit of storage, why not sew attachment loops and magazine pockets into the interiors of normally fashionable vests and jackets? It'd be more discreet, comfortable and even more useful than getting some Chicom tacvest!
Is there an objective reason why a chest rig and dump pouch are considered better than a utility vest and fanny pack?
Probably because they wear the chest rigs to the range where they don't care about looking as fashionable as possible.
>Is there an objective reason why a chest rig and dump pouch are considered better than a utility vest and fanny pack?
Yes.
Because purpose designed equipment is always, always better than trying to make something else work.
This is the same reason you don't use high heeled shoes as screwdrivers, or frozen bananas as hammers.
Yeah it might work, but it doesn't work well and why would you go to all the trouble when purpose designed and built shit already exists?
Now, if you're trying to be an undercover CC /fa/ faggot it's a different story. But even then, buying a purpose built CC holster is usually better than trying to make one yourself and sew it into your pants.
There is also the fact that playing dressup and pretending you're a delta squad OPERATOR, send the surgeons home because I'll be doing all the OPERATING is a secret, dirty pleasure of most of the people in the gear queer thread that don't actually do it for a living.
Now, you may want to go back to /fa/ before the real shitposting begins.
>>29909596
>don't care about looking as fashionable as possible.
what the fuck
>>29909606
I look at it this way -- my "dump pouch" is intended for mounting on a bicycle. It's not some Chicom branded piece of shit, it's a no-name piece of shit. But it's exactly the same shape, attaches with the same kinds of toggles, and has a similar capacity. Why not wear that on my belt instead of a branded Tacticool pouch? I do actually attach it to my normal messenger bag, but even for that bag, why not use a cheap laptop bag instead of a Tactical Administration Satchel?
Or even something as simple as the infamous 5.11 pants -- what separates them from any other pair of cargo pants? Or if I want to carry a big deck knife on me, why not mount it from a loop sewn into my spring jacket and be actually somewhat concealed, instead of hanging it off my belt in a specifically branded set of loops that'll poke out of anything I wear?
I just don't understand this gear queer mindset. Wouldn't you want to go for the stealthy option of just having a coat with lots of pockets instead of a ridiculous chest rig and bunches of tacticool nonsense. Or better yet, putting lots of loops and pockets into a coat you already own to have just that much extra storage for your CC'd revolver and all those speedloaders and taser batteries and bear spray cartridges and whatnot.
So /k/ ive been thinking late night thoughts and i was wondering could it be possible to create old historical plate armors from ar500 steel? Would it still be as effective? I know ar500 plates are a bit thicker than armor was back then but how heavy/maneuverable do you think it would actually be pic somewhat realted
Ar-500 steel isn't just steel. You can't reform it and maintain it's ballistic qualities unless you own the damn factory.
>>29909458
I didnt mean personal reforming in my garage just if it could be made into this style intead on just plates in carries
>>29909498
It could but that's like asking why we build cars out of Steel instead of Titanium. Obviously it's extremely cost prohibitive over mass produced molded AR500 plates.
Post /k/ related heroes you know.
Im kinda going through a hard time, my dad medically retired from the police force about 6 months ago, a tumor was growing on his spinal column and it became so painful he had to undergo heavy medication.
The effects on his central nervous system has been devastating. He slurrs his speech due to the meds and cant even bend over to pick up something. Hopefully he responds well to treatment but right now he has lost a significant amount of weight and can barley even summon the willpower to cook his own meals. So, I am going to post stories of how the authority figures arent all kill crazy assholes, and even might share a lot of beliefs you do, because quite frankly, my father is a fucking hero and he deserves better than this.

People in our county still tell wildly exaggerated stories of the time he deputized a gang of drunks to go to war with a band of californians.
Sounds like a cool guy

Anyone into air rifles? I mean real pellet rifles, not bb guns or airsoft.
This beauty is coming in the mail for me, 16 shot in .22. I also have a Benjamin Marauder but it isn't accurate enough for doves and rabbit at +80m
>>29909285
Forgot about it, it's a FX Impact, made in Sweden. Integrally suppressed without tax stamp shit, no regulations at all, and can be fired within city limits.
I've got a Crosman 1077 which is a pretty fun little plinker for the money, but I want to get an AirForce Texan 45cal for shits and giggles.

I bet killing small games with it count as an halal ritual slaughter.

Post recent acquisitions. Pic related, 500 memes.
Got a Walnut new old stock long length buttstock for my No4 Mk1*. Complete with all the Long Branch markings it needs to match the rest of the rifle.
Makes the LOP very comfy for me.
