Sup y'all
Just working on refinishing the furniture on my shotgun tonight. Gonna rub it down with BLO and see how it turns out.
Anyways, I guess this is just a thread for chilling and talking with other kommandos about whatever. I'll keep posting pics as I get further.

I've also never refinished any wood before, so any advice is welcome. Hope all of y'all have had a good start to the weekend.

I think it's coming along nicely. Started by rubbing down the wood with paint thinner, then went to alternating paint thinner and 220 grit sandpaper, followed by just 220 grit and now 400 grit.
Also found out about the TSRA and joined today, and other Texas kommandos members?

Pretty much. Depends how and why you want to be iconic. This fucker has probably shot more people in the back of the head than other models of guns have shot people.
Coolest, a Colt.

Probably the AK, regardless of ones feelings about it.

The basic problem is this.
What will the Mongols steal?
High Middle Ages Europe is still poor as fuck, and most of it is littered with castles.
There's no metal currency in most places, mediocre grazing land, and a 5000 mile line of communication is long even by Mongol standards.
That said, historians still debate this.
>>
>>29542446
You mean Ogadai?

Probably not a tremendous amount, as the Mongols move into more and more hostile terrain for them and more and more get bogged down in siege after siege that require weeks or months to succeed at even if they are ultimately victorious. It would be deeply unpleasant, but the Mongols likely wouldn't have been able to expand too much further.

Tell me about SilencerCo. Both the hardware and the people. Any experiences you have with them, their history and reputation in the industry, their products, etc.
Thanks.

Depends really. How fast your riding, the horse how you are shooting and what you are shooting with. If you have the right gun and practice enough you can shoot pretty accurately from horseback. I used to hunt coyotes off my horse up in Wyoming when I did some work up there.

People have used bows on horseback, so a gun can't be THAT different.

What was the scariest war?
I'm torn between the American Civil War and Vietnam. Vietnam was creepier and had more of a psychological horror aspect to it. The Civil War was just pure terror. The mix of accurate weaponry and traditional Napoleonic warfare i believe would have made it extremely terrifying.

Trench warfare. Sitting in a hole in the ground, knowing you would eventually be ordered to leave that hole and most likely get wounded or killed in the process.

I recently got a lot of shit from people I know when they found out I'd been involved in drone strikes. Not only that but to me it was an exciting day at work was when we got to kill someone.
I think people get too many ideas from movies that whenever a human dies you should feel some kind of anguish or guilt.

Looks like the Norwegians have down-selected DCNS and TKMS for their next group submarines to replace the Ula clas. Being Saab is suffering.
Will DCNS offer the Scorpene or Shortfin Barracuda like with Australia?

The bullet used in the demonstration video is a 7.62 x 63 millimeter M2 armor-piercing projectile, and was fired using standard testing procedures established by the Department of Justice for evaluating armor types.
Body Armor Based On Snake, Fish And Butterfly Scales
The armor — only an inch thick — features a ceramic strike face, Kevlar backing, and CMFs in the energy-absorbing middle layer.
“We could stop the bullet at a total thickness of less than an inch, while the indentation on the back was less than 8 millimeters,

Exciting stuff, but I'm always wary about these inch deep tech articles.
Anybody got more info on this? I actually live in NC and go to Raleigh pretty frequently.

>>29541520
The other articles are just as superficial it seems. Its so early on in the r&d life cycle it will probably take a decade to see this in the field. It seems its uses in space flight or aeronautics might come first. The bullet demonstration seems easy to hype the material.
