Are boats the ultimate SHTF bunkers? After all, any land-based installations can be smoked out, but boats have the entire oceans to hide in.

What are /k/'s thoughts on making it easier for people in cities and denser suburban areas to shoot?

>imagine how much easier it would be to get people into shooting if ranges were as common as gyms
>more people innacity than innabasicallywilderness
>more poorfags than richfags
>vast untapped reservoir of potential support, shooting buddies, logistically easier group outings, rebels against tyrannical government, etc.
>if you build it, they will come
>mfw i can't shoot muh raifus without driving an hour each way (to any of several damn nice ranges, but still)
>mfw my future job opportunities will probably be in mostly urban areas as well
>expanded gun industry might make guns and muh 22lr cheaper too
>chicken and egg: anti-gun urban governments are in position to prevent construction
>laws have to change so infrastructure can change so views can change so laws can change
>physical constraints exist--need enough room, ventilation, noise, backstop, etc.
>but good gyms, e.g., have physical constraints too--need to make sure the floor can deal with having weights dropped on it, neighbors don't mind the noise, ceilings are high enough, ventilation --so the constraints aren't insurmountable in principle
>also legalized silencers will help with the noise
>mfw high schools in Sacramento and San Francisco used to have shooting ranges in the basement
>mfw it can be done
>I hear SE Florida is kind of like this but that might be a meme
>same with switzerland

tldr has anyone even been far so as decided to want go shooting ranges as common and easily available as gyms?

/k/ is there anything wrong with Pietta Percussion cap revolvers? The fact that they're so cheap is what appeals to me but also worries me.
It won't blow up.. Right?

I don't think the reloading process would bother me too much, because The history and aesthetics just rub me the right way

Also, I don't own any other black powder weapon so what else should I get?

So, I've decided that by the years end I'm going to buy a new rifle. I've narrowed it down to three choices. All three I equally want.

So, opinions and first hand experience with any of theses three are welcomed in helping me make my decision for setting my goal.

1.) Steyr AUG with a top rail instead of a scope

2.) Beretta ARX100

3.) CZ Bren 805 S1 carbine.

What will happens if a nation's leader knows next to nothing about warfare or Foreign Policy? Do Generals take over from there? Our president for example is the Commander and Chief of our Armed Forces. What happens if they don't really know how to properly allocate our military power based on our current foreign policy

I really like these ACE skeletonized stocks, and I want to get one for my AR15, just I want to know what I need to get.

I know that I need to get an A2 Buffer tube, but can the carbine length spring and buffer fit in the standard a2 tube?

Hey /k/

Living in chicago, under 21, just turned 18, looking forward to getting FOID, and legally being able to purchase a gun. So I am filling out the app, going along fine, actually one of the easier governmental apps to fill out, when I hit this one section, this one fucking section. A parental fucking affadavit. Without my parents consent, I cannot get a gun license in Illinois, its impossible. And my parents are pretty fucking liberal, they would never sign the form. Whoever designed this rule deserves to be fucking fired. So /k/, one question:

wat do?

A few years ago I read a story on reddit that kind of stuck with me for some reason.

A (future redditor) submarine sailor was on his sub and for some reason (technical or human error) the sub started diving suddenly and uncontrollably. The was a guy who was supposed to do his job and respond to this event to stop the dive and level out/surface. Instead though he just crouched down and quietly panicked and wouldn't respond to anyone while the sub continued to fall. Other people had trained for his position and they stepped up and performed his duties and the incident ended there except that the panicked sailor was quietly transferred away when they got to port 2 weeks later and was never heard from again.

I always liked this story for some reason. Anyone have any more like this? Military related or otherwise.

Why did firearms have so many serial numbers all over them?

hey guys

moving to chicago for a job, think i might need my first gun for self-defence. you know, just in case. I also am a big fan of recreational shooting, I usually go skeet shooting with my grandfather's remington from the late 1930's (one of the last models you could get in the US before the war, in great shape, my dad and I fixed it up as a father / son thing).

i was looking at either a sig sauer p220 in .45, or a p229 in 9mm.

What should a total gun noob look for in his first piece of hardware? I want a solid, reliable, high-quality piece of gear. Anyone know the differences between the Sig p22x models?

Muzzle discipline is key, religiously keeping your booger hook off the bang switch will get you killed. Your presentation of the firearm should include taking it off safe and having the distal phalange of your digitus secundus resting on the mechanism which actuates the firing sequence.


Don't start squeezing her unless you are ready to bang.
